Thinking of this, Xu Yi couldn't help but shrug his shoulders. This coarse tea and light rice is really not a polite statement of the host on the Chinese table, and he is really ready to eat coarse grains. But no matter what, I have to deal with it for such a period of time, and when the store is profitable and then think about improving my life, I can still save a lot during this time.

Before he wanted to buy a thresher, Xu Yi also thought about a question, whether he wanted to make a handmade corn thresher, after all, this one can be done by himself without money at all. I don't know what this thing is called in other places, but my village calls it bud rice rubbing. But if there is dry land to grow corn, every household basically needs such an object.

The material made of bud rice rubbing is only more than two feet long, seven or eight centimeters square of hardwood, plus a little nail and iron bar.

The carpentry tools are also complete, and it is not difficult to do, after all, the method of this thing is very simple: first dig out a semi-arc groove along the long path in the front of the wood, chisel a square hole in the middle of the place, fix an iron bar under the square hole, and let the tip of the iron bar stand in front of the square hole. Of course, in order to facilitate operation in the future, the back side can also be reprocessed into a semi-arc shape to facilitate the gripper.

When you use it, put the bud rice rub on the ground, hold it with one hand, and slide the other corn cob against the groove in the front from top to bottom, and wipe the corn off by leaning on the iron rubbing strip. This job is not too young for children to do, and it is much safer than using a screwdriver to poke corn on the cob. If there are many children in the family, when they catch up with the corn, everyone will rush to rub the buds, and no one will rush to rub the corn.

The hand holding the bud wiper should cover the square hole and block the corn that has been wiped off, so that they will not splash everywhere. However, children often like to deliberately wring dry with adults, their favorite is to deliberately leak out the hole, splashing corn everywhere, and even the stubborn ones even put this hole at others, and the splattered corn kernels hit the body, but it still hurts a little to hit the face, and it is inevitable to provoke adults to scold......

After each line, turn the corn again and rub again. After a few times, the corn cob is covered with furrows, and it is easy to rub the corn kernels clean with a corn cob.

Xu Yi's family has only a few acres of dry land, and naturally he also has a bud rice rub, which has been used for that rub since Xu Yi remembers. Every winter during the slack season, he and Lao Dao also relied on this bud to rub off all the corn year after year. He didn't know what kind of wood it was, but it was obviously some years old. After many years of use, the whole wipe is not only the groove on the front, even the back is rubbed by hand to make it shiny, with a pale yellow luster, the nail in the middle, with a straightened horseshoe made of the wipe strip is also shiny, no rust, the top is more polished round and shiny.

In the past few years, I really haven't rubbed corn anymore, and every year the village helps to harvest it, finds a machine to remove the grain, and deducts the cost to give him money. In the past few years, I don't know what the bud rice wiper has become, and I don't even know if it can be used.

Xu Yi just thought about it, but in the end he didn't do it—after all, the inside of this space is really different from the outside. After all, when you rub corn by yourself, you really don't use it to eat or sell it, you basically use it to make seeds, which obviously can't be rubbed with buds.

Not everything that is new is better than the old, and that's the case with bud rice wipes.

The angle of the wiping strip can also be adjusted by hand to make it suitable for your own corn variety, but the tip of the top can only be polished over the years to become round enough, and it is more convenient to use.

In the countryside, as long as you can make something yourself, basically no one asks someone to do it or spends money to buy it. But after all, not everyone has the right tools, so they can only adapt to local conditions, and what they have will be used. Sometimes there is no round planer for making a house, so I just find a piece of broken glass, broken bowl or something to shave the appearance smooth. Like a sickle or something, most of them are cut with a suitable oak tree, and a piece of bark will be deliberately left at the position of the handle to increase friction. If you want to polish it thoroughly before you do it, you can't do it without the right tools, so most of them are almost done and used.

A tool that is made in this way is certainly not perfect, but it will gradually become satisfactory over the years.

However, if the rubbing is not used to wipe the corn, it is easy to hurt the corn germ, and it does not matter if you eat it, after all, the germ will be removed in the rice milling process and become part of the rice bran, otherwise the germ with too high oil and water content will be mixed in the rice flour, and it will be easy to have insects and even mold when storing. However, if it is used as a seed, the germ may not be able to germinate if it is injured.

Xu Yi also vaguely suspected that he really made a bud rice wipe, unless the wiper was polished before installation, and the angle could be adjusted during installation, and the result might be better. Really only use this wipe in space, whether it can be used normally to make the wipe strip round and smooth is difficult to say.

The tools I used before, whether it was a chisel or a band saw, an axe or something, I only carefully polished it when I first got it. But after using it for so long, those tools are still as sharp as if they had just been sharpened, and being able to keep them like this must be inseparable from space.

In the outside world, even if it is not hard wood, like cutting trees and processing wood every day, these tools should have been dull for a long time, and I don't know how many times they should have been grinded. For example, the chainsaw, the lubricating oil in the pot has long been gone, and I haven't added it again, but the saw blade has not changed except for the defective oil.

Now it's just a small amount of planting, if you open a store in the future, this glutinous rice flour really consumes too much, and you can't think of solving the problem by hand. The efficiency of manual work is too low, and everything in the space depends on itself, but if it doesn't cost much, it is better to use the machine or use the machine. Save a little bit of time on everything, and save yourself from being really stuck in this space all day.

As for why you don't use that threshing machine, the reason is simpler, you can't do it. Even outside the space, except for small plots of land or places where the machine really can't get in, it will be sown manually, and now it is a large ridge with two rows, and the machine is used to sow seeds, and there are only three or four seeds in one row and two rows. Even so, four or five catties of seeds per acre of land are enough. Waiting for the germination and seedling, and then artificial seedlings, of course, there are also places where there is a shortage of seedlings, but most of the seedlings that come down are also thrown directly in the ditch and slowly dry up and rot.

There is only a little bit of land in the space, and there is no need for a few catties of corn. However, there are no machines in the space, so they all have to be operated by hand. Xu Yi does not need to blindly pursue yield, it is easy to operate, Xu Yi is planted according to a single row.

In this way, the consumption of manual sowing is almost half that of the machine, and in order to avoid seedlings, he only scatters one seed per seed, after all, as long as the soil is buried, this kind of seed will germinate and grow, and there is not much time for seedlings. If you throw two seeds, you will inevitably compete for fertilizer and light, and even if you are in space, you may not be able to grow much better. This problem has been found when planting before, although the total yield is definitely high, but the fullness of corn grains is still a little worse, and it is impossible to fertilize or something.

This can save a lot, plus the corn seeds are much smaller than the seeds of hybrid corn, and then waste an acre of land, it is estimated that a pound of seeds is about the same, and the corn has already been planted when there is a toss machine.

It is not known whether this threshing machine will hurt the embryos. If the proportion is low, it doesn't matter, because I am afraid that the proportion of injuries will be too high, so even if I plant it later, the seeds can only be threshed by hand.

Holding a corn cob in each hand, leaning together, and then rubbing the hands in opposite directions, the corn kernels at the junction rubbed against each other, fell off the corn cob, and fell into the bamboo plaque with a clatter. However, after a while, there were not a few corn kernels left on the two cobs, except for the corn on the cob that was not very well developed.

After all, it is used as seeds, and even if the corn on the tip is not fully developed, even if it can germinate, the seedling condition is very poor. Other corn stalks can grow to an inch thick, and this one is not even as thick as a thumb, and either they can't produce corn cobs, or they can only harvest a small corn cob until the old autumn. The growth is too slow, and by the time the corn is headed, the field corn has already been filled, which also causes them to pollinate poorly, and there are only a few grains of corn on the whole corn cob. The village calls this kind of corn "autumn not old" - as the name suggests, corn that is not old in autumn.

When I harvest corn at home, there will be occasional such corn, most of which is boiled or burned into Xu Yi's stomach - after all, when it is autumn, tender corn is also a rare thing, so I always feel particularly sweet. Even when corn is broken, often such corn stalks are cut down and eaten like sugar cane, which is sweet......

Therefore, Xu Yi is not ready to rub them down again, if he raises chickens and ducks, he may rub them off and use them as feed. But obviously, there are only two foxes left in the house that are living things, and even if they are rubbed down, they are useless. So he just rubbed off the normally sized corn kernels on the corn cob, threw the corn cob aside, and grabbed two more from the bamboo plaque.

It didn't take long for Xu Yi to finish rubbing all the corn, and shook it with a bamboo plaque, almost twenty or thirty catties.

Use a sieve and dustpan to simply clean up the impurities and unqualified seeds inside and put them into a bag, and Xu Yi walked directly to the open space. Although it is all by hand, a lot of things are omitted, and it only takes less than two days to get two or three acres of corn. After all the planting, I carried the kettle and watered it, and it grew up with a brush, and the heading was ......
