Chapter 377: Stone Mortar

On a good night, my sister's room next door seemed to be accompanied by a wheezing sound......

And, of course, the pair of white eyes that I bumped into when I got up and opened the door the next day.

For the next ten days, the main work was to dry the grain, go to the beach to fish, go to the mountains to hunt, and flirt with the women.

In this peaceful and peaceful day, I finally lived a normal married life with my three lovers. The so-called normal life is to live in the night with them in a step-by-step manner, rotating every three days. Of course, I'm so normal that I can't do it, and the three of them are a little insufficient. There's no way around it. After all, if you split me into three parts, I can't live.

At this time, it is already winter, and although the sun is shining in this tropical area, you can still feel the coolness between morning and evening.

This coolness has to be affected by the north wind, longer and colder, until the beginning of spring next year, it will change.

So I went up to the mountains and hunted some large animals with good fur, especially wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, which were carnivores that could threaten people, and swept the neighborhood to save us from invading our homes. The peeled skin is made and dried to serve as a leather garment to protect against the cold.

I was idle, so I took twenty rounds of ammunition and taught Kexin how to use a gun. This can't be said to be a waste of precious ammunition, because basically it is to take her up to the mountains to hunt and fight the kind of large beasts that can't be injured by bows and arrows.

Now among the six people, in addition to me who can use a rifle proficiently, there is also my cousin's half bucket of water, although Su Wu can also fight, but half a bucket of water can't reach it.

I have to train another bucket and a half of water to deal with emergencies in case of emergency.

Last time, my cousin shot and killed Qi Guangfei, which caused great mood swings, and I was allergic to guns for a while. This made me realize that in case of danger, you can't count on all one person, especially when I'm not there, at least one can't do it, and I can still come up for the other to ensure combat effectiveness and protect myself and others.

Therefore, I also specially brainwashed Kexin, telling her that when dealing with the enemy, you don't have to be soft-hearted, and in the face of the enemy's aggression, you must be like a rock and resolutely fight back, without hesitation or any psychological burden.

Now the red-haired Yuri, with no whereabouts, is hard to guarantee that they will not break into our home one day, but we commit crimes. For these people, there is basically no need to have any compassion, just hit when you see it!

Of course, the premise is that there must be people who can fight.

If I had time, I would like to train each of the five women to be a warrior. To survive on this uncultivated land, they do need to have the corresponding combat effectiveness. Life is unpredictable, and I may not be able to guarantee that I can protect them at all times.

……

After repeated drying, the first batch of millet was finally able to enter the warehouse.

Su Wu grabbed a handful of plump grains of millet and asked me, "We have made so many grains, but how can we get this chaff?

Ke Xin next to him grabbed a sentence after that: "I know, I have seen a rice mill for chaff." We can build a rice mill to come out!"

I nodded, "Yes, yes, it's still a girl with knowledge!"

Kexin was praised by me, I reached out and pinched her face, and said, "Then the task of building a rice mill will be handed over to you, girl!"

"This ......" The hearty smile gradually froze: "I won't!"

Tian Xiaxia smiled: "You can't do it." This kind of modern industrial machinery, which is driven by electricity, will not be able to build it for ten years. ”

Su Wu said: "Then what should we do? We can't cook and eat it with the shell, right? Or like Lele these days, smash it with a stone and then peel it by hand? But this is not enough to eat, let alone cook, there is not enough porridge." ”

Speaking of which, we do need a practical tool for rice milling. Otherwise, our grain will not be harvested in vain.

I remember, when people didn't have rice mills, how did they hull the millet?

The problem is that I haven't seen it at all, I remember a fart!

Fortunately, there is an encyclopedia by her side, I hope she has it in her head!

I turned my head and shouted at my cousin who was burning the fire in the kitchen: "Lu Lin, come here!"

My cousin left her job behind, walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

I said, "In ancient times, there was no rice mill, how did people husk the grain?"

My cousin blurted out, "Stone mill!"

Sure enough, it is recorded!

I was overjoyed and said, "Then how to make this stone mill, do you know?"

My cousin muttered, "I've only learned about this thing on video, and I probably remember a little bit, the main parts ...... It is a grinding disc at the bottom, with a grinding rod on it, as well as a grinding stick and a grinding frame, by the way, in the middle of the grinding plate, there must be a shaft, I don't remember what it is called, anyway, it is used to bind the grinding stone, and the grinding stone rotates around this shaft, and the millet that is crushed under the bottom is hulled. ”

I said, "Can we make this tool?"

My cousin shook her head: "We don't think we can do it, don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, people are hundreds of thousands of years of exploration and improvement of things, we want to copy it at a glance?

As soon as I heard this, my face pulled down, and Bai was happy with me!

My cousin continued, "The stone mill is not easy to make, so for the time being it is better to use a mortar, although it takes some effort." But it's very simple to manufacture. ”

I didn't understand, and said, "What uncle?"

My cousin gave me a blank look: "Stone mortar, aren't you using it, I see that you have nothing to do in the past two days to smash on the big stone in the dining room." ”

I said, "Isn't that just a big stone, I can't peel off the corn, and then I found that if I put a stone and hit it, the shell will loosen, and it will be easy to peel off." How do I know what it's called!"

The corner of my cousin's mouth twitched, "I thought you knew." I also said that you lazy, why don't you process that stone and then make rice, and you don't have time to get it. ”

I blackened my face: "Say, how do you make this stone mortar?"

My cousin said, "Just cut out a big pit out of that stone, and then make a wooden pestle, have you ever seen that kind of medicine jar?"

I didn't react when I heard it, but Tian Qiuqiu on the side reacted: "Oh! Is it the same as that kind of medicinal mortar?"

My cousin nodded: "The principle is the same, that is, to make it very big! Put the millet into the stone mortar, and then hit it with a wooden pestle, and the chaff will naturally come off." ”

Actually, it's Chung Mi Luo. Some of your age don't know about this stuff now.
