0220 Playing field
Although he was born with his hands, Xu Yi was young after all, and his body was good, and as he recalled the imprints of his childhood, the speed of cutting beans became faster and faster, and his posture became more and more skillful.
Before you know it, all the beans are cut down and turned into piles of soybeans stacked in the shop.
Xu Yi straightened up and let out a long breath, and then looked back, the bean stubble behind him was of similar height, and there was no sign of any beans being uprooted, obviously his level was much stronger than at the beginning.
At this time, Xu Yi heard a strange "grunt" sound.
Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was already hungry, and his chest was against his back.
Xu Yi hurriedly put down the guy's business, got up and went back to cook.
After the rice was cooked, Xu Yi took a woven bag, unwrapped the stitches underneath, and then used a sickle to cut it along one side.
After spreading it out, the bag turned into a piece of cloth, and Xu Yi took two pieces of rope and tied them to the four corners of the piece of cloth to make a bean that looked like an oversized mask.
Walking to the edge of the ground with his pocket, Xu Yi carefully picked up a pile of soybean straw from the ground and put it on top of the pocket, and when the bag was full, he grabbed two ropes and picked up the bean straw and carried it to the tarpaulin.
There was no surprise to Xu Yi at all, and when all the bean straw was transferred to the tarpaulin, there were a lot of yellow and clear beans in this pocket.
Originally, Xu Yi still wanted to take back all the things that could be collected first, and then come back to play slowly when they were empty, it seems that he can only take back the beans first and clean them first before he can collect other things.
Otherwise. I'm afraid that all these piles of things will be put on the tarpaulin, and they will all have to be fried and mixed together. When the time comes, it will be a hassle to pick it out.
By the time the rice cooker jumped up, Xu Yi had already moved all the soybeans back. Build a hill on top of the tarpaulin.
After lunch, Xu Yi was ready to fight, but naturally there was no thresher in this space, not even Shi Yanzi himself.
It's just that if you beat it with a wooden stick instead, I don't know how busy so many beans it will be, so Xu Yi has to make a flail before playing.
Xu Yi found a wooden square more than a foot long, and prepared to use it to make a connecting shaft for the flail.
Holding the saw closer to one end almost an inch away, carefully sawing a shallow circle on all four sides.
Walking to the side of the vise with the wooden square, Xu Yi adjusted the vise to the appropriate width. Then he put the sawn end of the wooden square into the vice, and took the axe and carefully cut off the four edges and corners of the section of the wooden square exposed on the vise.
Xu Yi took a planer, removed the planing blade, and used it to gradually repair the top section of the wooden square into an almost circular wooden stick, and the square end below maintained its original appearance, which could just be used as a plug.
Then Xu Yi found a bamboo pole of the right thickness, almost more than two meters long, took the saw and sawed it directly into more than half of it with a saw almost a foot away from the head, and then split off the sawed half of the bamboo.
Xu Yi plugged in the electric stove. Turn the remaining piece of bamboo in front of the pole to the next side and carefully place it on top of the electric stove and roast it.
The power of the stove is relatively small, but Xu Yi didn't dare to put it directly on the stove, for fear that the bamboo would be scorched.
It was baked for a while. The bamboo made a slight squeak, and the surface of the bamboo piece seemed to have been soaked in water, oozing a layer of oil.
Xu Yi put on his gloves. One hand took the stick of wood that he had just made and pressed it against the spot where the bamboo pole had been sawn. The other hand directly grabbed the bamboo piece, while the heat was still there. Pull it up hard.
The bamboo, which has been roasted by the fire, is relatively soft, and it is bent up directly under the force, and then fastened around the wooden stick and then buckled on the bamboo pole.
Xu Yi then pulled the connecting shaft out of the bamboo pole, and then roasted the bamboo pole on the fire for a while. Xu Yi then inserted the wooden strip into the hole again, carefully trimming the curvature of the bamboo piece to change the size of the hole.
It wasn't until the connecting shaft was able to move easily in this hole, but the plug at the back would not be pulled out of it, that Xu Yi put it aside with satisfaction, got up and walked towards the bamboo forest.
Xu Yi cut a few purple bamboos, dried them all on the electric stove, roasted them softly, bent them one by one on top of the wooden strips, and then used a few thin bamboo strips to weave them together firmly to make a flail racket more than three feet long and seven or eight inches wide.
In the end, in order for this thing to be durable, Xu Yi also used iron wire to fix a few weak parts, and the flail was completely processed.
Xu Yi went out of the space again, went to the warehouse and took the rake and fork, and brought it to the space, ready to start the first game.
Pick some soybean straw directly from the top of the bean stack, spread it on the ground in the middle of the tarpaulin, and spread it into a piece that is almost more than a foot thick and two meters in diameter.
The beans have been completely dried, and after such a toss, the popping sound of the pods cracking is constantly coming out of the bean straw, and the sporadic bean grains that pop out can be seen around this piece of bean straw.
With his right hand in front and his left hand behind, Xu Yi held the flail handle with both hands, raised it diagonally above his head, and then quickly shook the flail handle diagonally to the left.
Under the action of centrifugal force, the flail beat directly flipped around the connecting shaft and turned forward, and as the flail fell down, it hit directly on the bean straw, making a muffled bang.
The soybean stalks and pods that were smashed by the flail paddle exploded one after another, and the beans could be seen rolling down the gap between the bean stalks, and there was a gurgling sound.
Seeing that this flail was still easy to use, Xu Yi sped up and picked up the flail and shook it with a bang.
When he was happy, Xu Yi also hummed the battle call gently: "Come and play until you get off the field, hey,
The rhythm of the rise and fall of the flail just coincides with the beat of the trumpet, adding some rhythm to this subdued singing voice out of thin air, which sounds like a unique charm.
Soon, the bean stalks that were laid on the ground were flattened. It also collapsed so much that there was not even a single piece of bean straw on top of it. All of them were shattered and cracked, revealing the white cores inside.
Not to mention those pods. Even the skin on the outside has been crushed and wrapped in the bean straw along with the bean kernels.
Seeing that it was almost there, Xu Yi put down the flail in his hand and took the fork.
Xu Yi stretched out the fork between the bean straw and the tarpaulin and gently picked up the bean straw, and then shook the bean straw on the fork a few times, so that the bean grains wrapped inside fell on the tarpaulin below.
Raising the fork a little higher to break the connection with the surrounding bean stalks, Xu Yi lifted the bean stalks on the fork towards the open space above the tarpaulin next to him.
After all, the flail is not heavy, so almost half of the bean straw has not been penetrated. The pods on top are even intact.
When the bean straw is opened, a layer of beans mixed with bean skin is revealed on the tarpaulin.
It wasn't until after turning over all the bean straws that Xu Yi hummed the trumpet again, picked up the flail and worked hard.
This was repeated until all the bean stalks were beaten to the slightest and there were no more intact pods on them, so Xu Yi picked up the bean stalks and shook off the beans inside and threw them outside the tarpaulin.
After picking the bean straw, there is a layer of bean kernels and bean skin underneath. There were also some pods that hadn't been broken.
Xu Yi took a bag and directly packed these things up and carried them aside. Wait until the beans are all beaten before further processing.
After replacing a batch of soybean straw, Xu Yi continued to fight.
It wasn't until all the bean straws were beaten clean that Xu Yi stopped.
The next task is to dispose of all the beans.
First, clean everything on the tarpaulin. Packed into the bag, Xu Yi cleaned up the tarpaulin.
Xu Yi took the sieve bottom he bought at that time and measured it again. After determining the size, I sawed out a few boards and made a sieve frame. Then use wooden strips and nails to tighten the bottom of the sieve to the top of the sieve frame.
Xu Yi found a pull ring left over from nailing the beehive, and used a wooden screw to install it in the middle of one side of the sieve. Just put it on the edge of the tarpaulin.
After all, there is only one person, so Xu Yi can only rely on himself to sift the beans.
Xu Yi took a shelf of vegetable seeds from the time, tied it up again, so as not to fall apart when it was load-bearing, and then stood it in the middle of the tarpaulin.
Xu Yi took another rope, passed through the pull ring of the sieve, compared the height, and tied the sieve to the shelf.
Using a dustpan to pour half of the beans from a bag into the sieve, Xu Yi stood on the opposite side of the shelf, picked up the two handles of the sieve on the ground, and shook it back and forth when it was flat.
As the sieve shook, there was a rattle in the sieve, and the soybeans and smaller bean skins leaked under the sieve, leaving only some pods and some stalks, and some beans that had not dried out and had some grains.
Xu Yi checked the sieve a few times and made sure that no soybeans had leaked out, so he put down the sieve and went to get a bamboo plaque to pack up the rest of the sieve.
Naturally, we have to wait for all the beans to be beaten, collected and dried and processed together.
Soon, all the beans were sifted out, and there was a pile of yellow beans on the ground.
There was no wind in the space, so Xu Yi could only use a dustpan to fill the beans, clean them, and then put them into the bag.
Naturally, there will inevitably be some broken beans in these beans, and it doesn't matter if you make your own tofu, as long as you re-select the beans that are left to plant.
Xu Yi had almost two acres of land, and in the end he packed six bags and about half a bag more, Xu Yi picked up a bag and weighed the weight, and found that a bag had to be at least one hundred and thirty or forty catties.
Seeing that there was still time, Xu Yi took out the electronic scale, opened the bags one by one, weighed all the beans in batches, and finally added up, these bags of beans were about 850 catties.
If he cleans up the bamboo plaques with pods on them, Xu Yi estimates that he can get at least 8780 catties of soybeans.
Even if you count more than two acres of land, this acre of land must be at least four hundred and thirty or forty catties.
Sure enough, it was a good day!(To be continued......)
