"What's going on in the house now?"

Yun Yao was quite worried when she heard this.

Nowadays, food is the foundation of this world, and how much money there is is is not as good as a full warehouse of food at home to make people feel at ease.

"Old Man Qi and the old lady were busy cutting wheat yesterday, and they were so tired that both of them had backaches and were very uncomfortable." Steward Yu frowned: "The second girl and the third girl also have to rush to help, that is, it's ......"

"What's it?" Yun Yao asked again.

"It's just that the old lady said that the third girl and the Xie family have made a family relationship, and she didn't ask her to help, saying that she was already dark, and how could she see people if she was going to tan again." Steward Yu said that he was still quite worried about his future young grandmother: "The third girl was stunned to work, and she quarreled with the old lady because of this." ”

"I see." Yun Yao nodded, asked Manager Yu a few more words, and sent him back.

As soon as the steward left, Yun Yao thought about it, the eldest sister Qi Jinzhi got married, she must work in the Zhou family at this time, she and Qi Jing came to live in Fucheng, Qi Jing must study hard at this time, and there is no time to go back to harvest wheat, Baozhu has to cook at home, and now there are only Qi Laoniu and Qi Gu who can go into battle, as well as Yinzhu and copper locks and five treasure bottles.

There are still treasure bells and treasure boxes at home, but these two girls are still young, when they were born, the Qi family had already made a fortune, these two girls were born without lacking anything, and there were brothers and sisters above, and the work of the family size was not called the two of them, not to mention cutting wheat, and they didn't know how to take the sickle.

That's the case. It is indeed too reluctant for five people to cut more than 100 acres of wheat in just three or two days, you know, this wheat is not only cut down, but also tied up and carried out of the field to be transported to the yard, and the wheat is also beaten, in addition, it has to be put in the sun to dry, and it has to be put into warehouses after drying, these are not easy jobs.

Sitting on the chair, Yun Yao lay on the table. He sighed softly on the edge of the table with his chin resting on the table.

In ancient times, people lived really hard. This has to be put aside in the interstellar era, not to mention a hundred acres of wheat, the wheat of a planet can be harvested by one or two people in a day's work, and the backwardness of this era when the machinery is too primitive makes people tremble.

Cease. Cease. Yun Yao got up. It's better to hurry up and do a few gadgets to help the family, otherwise she will really feel sorry for Qi Laoniu and Qi Gu's tiredness, and those two people are really good to her. She is not without conscience, people cast peaches, and Yun Yao naturally wants to repay Li.

Out of the house, Yun Yao went to the study to take a look, and saw that Qi Jing was still immersed in hard reading, and his hard work was almost piercing, and then thinking about how hard Qi Jing was not so sticky to her these days, not to mention sleeping late at night, even when he got to bed, he didn't have much spare time to toss, and he also understood how much Qi Jing had spent his mind now.

Sighing again, Yun Yao decided that he couldn't bother Qi Jing, and he couldn't talk to him about these things, no matter how big the food problem was, it couldn't be as big as Qi Jing's future.

went to the courtyard and called Peony over and told her to go to Xue's house to make a message.

Peony went for a while, and when he came back, he came with Xue Manjin.

Yun Yao saw Xue Manjin and hurriedly invited him into the house, and after sitting down, Yun Yao handed Xue Manjin a list she had written, and asked Xue Manjin to help her buy all the things marked on the top as quickly as possible.

Xue Manjin was not ambiguous, he didn't even take a sip of tea and took the list and left, and in the afternoon, Xue Manjin got the things back.

Yun Yao looked at the things, the things were complete, and the quality was not bad, after the inventory, she settled the bill with the delivery person, and after saying a few words to Xue Manjin, she was extremely sorry to ask Xue Manjin away.

Asked the people in the family to help move everything to an empty room, Yun Yao said a few words to Peony, only saying that she had to cook something in the wing room all day today, no matter what happened, don't disturb her, and in addition, don't prepare food for her in the kitchen.

Peony is an obedient good boy, and she didn't ask Yun Yao what she planned to do, she directly agreed, not only remembered, but also took a needle and thread to work outside the door, obviously to guard the door for Yun Yao.

Yun Yao closed the door with a smile, satisfied with Peony's sincerity.

After putting away the wood and iron, as well as the small saws, hammers, scissors, axes, knives and other tools, Yun Yao began to get busy.

The first thing she has to do is a hand-cranked threshing machine, to be precise, she is making a threshing machine.

Yun Yao plans to make a small thresher, which is also the simplest one she can think of, a feed port, and then a conveying device, after sending the wheat in, there will be an iron turbine to take off the wheat grains, and then there is something similar to a fan to blow out the peel, and the wheat grains are transferred to an iron sheet with dense small holes to filter them once, so that the wheat grains that come out of the final discharge port are extremely clean.

It seems that there are many devices, but it is not difficult to do, and it is very simple to use, only two people are needed, one rotates the handle, and the other adds material to it, so that just threshing wheat can save a lot of time.

Yun Yao, a grandmaster-level figure who can make even the most advanced mecha, wants to make this kind of most rudimentary and almost primitive machinery, it is really a piece of cake, it is even easier than her being a villain who can walk.

Barely made much movement, and it was only an hour before Yun Yao finished the threshing machine.

It was easier to make one, and the second one, and before evening, two threshers were placed in the open space of the house.

For the rest of the materials, Yun Yao wants to make a few harvesters.

Yun Yao took out a homemade charcoal pen and white paper, and regardless of whether the ground was dirty or not, she sat down, calculated for a while, and then drew a detailed structural diagram on the paper.

She plans to make a few miniature foot-operated harvesters.

This harvester has two handles to hold and push into the field, while pushing and walking, while driving the machine to run, when cutting the wheat with your foot on the pedal below, drive the knife to harvest the wheat into the conveyor belt, and then transfer the cut wheat into a small cylinder next to the handle, when pushing again, the wheat in the cylinder will fall into the field in bundles.

After the wheat is harvested, only sheaves of wheat are left in the field.

If there are enough people, one person can harvest and the other person will clean up the sheaf, which is much faster than cutting with a sickle.

Yun Yao didn't make four harvesters until after dinner and when it was too dark to work, and she still sighed when she looked at the few materials left.

This is still not a mental power, otherwise, she can do a few solar-powered wooden robots to do all the work in the fields, where is there still a need for the family to be busy.

Got up and pushed the finished machine to the side, sorted out the tools and materials and packed the box, Yun Yao patted the dirt on her body and went back to the room to prepare for sleep.

When she arrived at the house, Yun Yao found that Qi Jing was still reading in the study, and she didn't know why, but she felt a sense of grievance in her heart.

Taking a deep breath, she washed her hands and face, changed into clean clothes and went to the study.

Pushing open the door of the study, I saw Qi Jing sitting in the candlelight looking at something, and when I got closer, I saw that the desk in front of Qi Jing was full of newspapers issued by the court.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Qi Jing glanced up, and when he saw that it was Yun Yao, he smiled: "You go to sleep first, I'll copy this one and go back to the house." ”

Yun Yao moved closer and looked at it twice, and some didn't quite understand what was written on it: "Xianggong should also pay more attention, the scientific examination is very important, but the body is more important, and the body is tired before the exam." ”

Speaking of this, Yun Yao looked at Qi Jing's slimmed down body, and the tired look on his face, he was still worried and distressed: "No matter what, you should rest more, if you do this again, I'm afraid that you will be tired and lie down before you wait for the autumn season, no, you can't copy it anymore, hurry back to the house and sleep." ”

While speaking, Yun Yao pulled Qi Jing up vigorously: "I have to tell Sister-in-law Liu that I will stew some tonic soup for you every day another day, otherwise how can I stand it with such a drain every day." ”

Qi Jing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Let's go, let's listen to you this time, let's rest first." ”

The two of them walked out of the study, and as they walked, Yun Yao muttered in a low voice: "I haven't seen others work as hard as you, if you want me to say, our family's money is enough to spend, and life is not unbearable, what do you have to do like this." ”

"I can't do that either." Qi Jing smiled and explained to Yun Yao in a low voice: "Not to mention that the eldest brother-in-law is talented and learned, I am afraid that I will definitely be able to pass the exam in the future, that is, now the third sister and the Xie family have decided to have a family affair, what kind of family is the Xie family, it is the dignified family of the fourth world and the third prince, if our family is white, it is too ugly, even if I don't get into the jinshi, I will take the exam first, in the end, I will have an official body, and my face will look better, and the third sister will not be too looked down upon in the future." ”

Speaking of this, Qi Jing also sighed: "My family is just a young man, I don't work hard to bear it, which one will my father and mother rely on when they are old, and who do the sisters rely on when they get married, I want to make my father and mother rely on when they are old, go out and talk to people without being looked down upon, and let my sisters and sisters live more comfortably. ”

Yun Yao rubbed the corners of her forehead, thinking that Qi Jing's current appearance was not like when she was admitted to the graduate school.

At that time, she also worked hard, she had the ability to have spirituality, read enough books, and had a pair of skillful hands and super high mental power, but the only thing she lacked was her family background and backer, in order not to be looked down upon, in order to be admitted to the Imperial Research Institute, she only slept for one or two hours a day, and the rest of the time was either reading all kinds of books or making all kinds of machines, and she was cheeky to visit those mechanical masters.

At that time, she was also very hard, if she hadn't held her breath, in order to be able to live a better life in the future, she was afraid that she would not be able to support it.

Now that I think about it, she and Qi Jing sometimes have similar temperaments, and they are almost the same. (To be continued.) )
