Chapter Ninety-Nine: Harvesting Rice
Zhu Renming unloaded the wine-making equipment and installed it on an open-air stove on the farm, which he usually used to build with leftover red bricks and cement when he had free time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Originally, it was used to cook pig food, but now the number of local pigs raised has decreased dramatically, and the large stove cooking rice bran rice seems to be a bit wasteful, so it has been idle.
Now it can be used to make wine, and Zhu Renming doesn't have to spend time building it again, saving a lot of trouble.
Zhu Renming, who had installed the iron pot, boiled a pot of water and put the funnel-shaped still on it, and Zhu Renming used the local method to brew wine.
Last time, a large number of formwork was used in the construction of roads and buildings, and although the dismantled formwork was carried with cement and nails, it could be used to make fires.
Zhu Renming does not have to cut down trees or go up the mountain to find firewood, and using the dismantled template to make a fire can serve the purpose of waste utilization, which is also what Zhu Renming has always advocated.
Maybe because I got the fairy outlet, I understand that what seems to some people to be a waste product is a different scene if you look at it from another angle.
The water boiled, and Zhu Renming observed the situation of the lower outlet and whether the surrounding area was properly sealed.
After making sure that it was in good condition, he didn't add firewood, and just waited for him to extinguish it himself, and the water in the iron pot should not dry up.
If you boil it a few times, the water steam can sterilize the pot, and if you use it a few times before boiling the wine, the effect will be better, after all, it is the equipment you just bought, and it still smells of wood and rust.
In order to avoid the peculiar smell of the new wine, Zhu Renming planned to boil the water several times first, completely eliminating the taste of the new pot, and then it was wiser to make wine.
And tomorrow, Zhu Renming will be busy for a day, so the winemaking will not be so fast.
The next day, Zhu Renming got up early, and the game was just a game, and he went to sleep regardless of whether he won or lost.
If you get into this habit, then the game won't play you, but you play the game.
If you are addicted to games, your life, work, and games will be affected.
Perhaps it was the change in mentality that made Zhu Renming's progress in the game extremely fast, and he had won two consecutive games in the promotion match, and the promotion to the Extraordinary Master was just around the corner.
"Wow, this wave of fairy water is really powerful, and the vacant land of the chicken farm has become a rice field." The golden ears of rice were presented in front of Zhu Renming, compared with the original rice that was urged, Zhu Renming felt that the quality of the rice that was urged to grow this time should be on a higher level.
The ears of rice are full of vitality, and the quantity is relatively large, Zhu Renming probably estimated that at least 500 catties of rice can be harvested.
In the past, the maximum number of rice was 200 catties, and the rice produced was only 50 percent of the rice yield, which means that only 100 catties of second-class immortal rice were obtained.
The rice yield was lower than the normal yield, the fullness was not enough, and Zhu Renming's technology in operating the machine at that time was not very mature, so a lot of millet was wasted.
A lot of rice was not taken off the husk, and it was all in the bag of rice bran, but at that time, more pigs were fed, and there was no loss in the amount of rice bran, which could be used to feed the pigs.
Zhu Renming harvested the grain alone in the rice field that was urged overnight, cut it for a morning before harvesting it, and then entered the threshing work.
To separate the ears of grain from the straw, he uses a fully automatic threshing machine.
Driven by a motor, rather than an old foot-operated threshing machine, Zhu Renming's physical strength can be retained.
After harvesting rice in the morning, Zhu Renming, who was bent over, almost couldn't stand up, and he wanted to buy a special harvesting machine.
It's just that he is not a large-scale breeder, and it is still too wasteful to build a harvesting machine in such a small area, but after experiencing the hard work of harvesting, Zhu Renming has other ideas.
Originally, these threshing and rice milling machines were originally given by the farmer, otherwise he would not have thought of buying these machines, and he usually didn't use them much.
"I still have to buy a harvester, and the price of a small one is not expensive." After experiencing the difficulty of harvesting, if you plan to make sake with senmi, mechanized work is more important.
After all, the entire farm is only one laborer, and if he consumes too much physical strength, he will not have the energy to do anything else.
Zhu Renming, who had been engaged in the harvest for a morning, was so tired that it was no wonder that in the rural areas of the southwest region, every time there was a bumper rice harvest, he would call relatives and friends to come to harvest together.
The strength of a large number of people is reflected in this aspect, and it is difficult for a single person to harvest the rice of a few acres of his own land without the help of machinery.
You must know that there are now seven or eight hundred kilograms of rice in one acre of land, where can one person finish harvesting, and there is other work to be done.
Zhu Renming was tired enough to collect 500 catties, and he was able to experience the hard work of being a farmer, which also made him cherish every grain of rice even more, hoping to give full play to the greatest effect.
Whether to buy a harvester or not, when there is time, it is time to dethresh, and Zhu Renming spent an afternoon to get rid of 500 catties of rice.
I wanted to go to mill rice, but when I looked at the rice that was still covered with moisture, I couldn't help but shake my head and said, "I'm still too tender, and I almost made a mistake, and if I mill rice that hasn't been dried yet, it will be a problem that I can't keep it for a long time, and the taste will be greatly reduced." ”
Zhu Renming packed the 500 catties of rice into five bags, carried them to the warehouse and placed them temporarily, and took them out to dry them at noon tomorrow.
Judging from the scorching degree of the sun in the past few days, it is almost enough to bask in the sun for a day or two, and Zhu Renming will look at the weather forecast in advance to avoid the arrival of rainy days.
When he was busy processing the rice, the stove for brewing was always burning, and after changing the water several times, the iron pot and wine steamer no longer smelled.
When the rice is dried and the rice is milled, brewing is not achieved overnight, and many people just enjoy these steps of local brewing, which is very fulfilling.
If Zhu Renming's idea of soaking centipedes in wine needs to be really implemented, it is so troublesome, which he didn't expect at first.
However, since Zhu Renming has done it, he plans to do it well, and if he can't do it well, centipede medicine and wine is also a way to make money, so he will spend a lot of time.
When drying rice, in addition to using a nail rake to make the rice evenly dry after a period of time.
Zhu Renming didn't have much to do, it would be too wasteful to play games during this time, and it wouldn't be in line with his plan.
Therefore, Zhu Renming thought of a phenomenon he had observed, that is, why centipedes were attracted to the farm in broad daylight.
If this is not the case, how can Black Whirlwind fight for three hundred rounds?
"Since fairy oil can attract centipedes, can it also attract other poisons?" Summer is the season of frequent poisons, and there are many dangerous creatures in the forest.
Thinking of this, Zhu Renming was extremely excited, catching poison is an extremely exciting thing, there is no doubt about it.
