Chapter 122: Xinmai (2)

"Lang Jun, why did you bring the wheat back like this, fortunately, it didn't rain."

"Hehe, I, it's useful here, not only the wheat grains are useful, but even this straw is equally useful, and what can they do with it?"

"Why, it seems to be burned as firewood and grass."

The butler said with some uncertainty.

"Maybe, but since the village chief was a little unhappy at that time, it means that they also have other uses, but, come to me, this straw will be more complete, call a few high-level carpenters to come over, I have a new design, let them make it."

Transporting this wheat back, for what, it will make wheat mangs everywhere, naturally, or for a new design, Yang Qiao went to the village to see, they don't have this thing, that is to say, at this time, there is no so-called threshing machine.

Thresher, the principle is very simple, and, once used, it is estimated that it will be used for thousands of years and will not change.

This threshing machine is a problem that I didn't think of, but, this principle, really simple, is just a rotating wooden cage, which is full of rings for beating wheat grains, this is a simple threshing machine, and then, on both sides, with cast iron axles, cast iron, as long as the formula is slightly better, this low-speed threshing machine is enough to use for decades, naturally, when not in use, it needs to be maintained, and then, in order to resist wear, a more expensive brass sleeve is used, that is, this threshing machine, the most expensive thing used, It's just a couple of brass sets.

Coupled with a man-made power system, a simple thresher that can be used for thousands of years can be made under the premise that machinery cannot be developed.

Moreover, in order to save, Yang Qiao uses an extended thresher, that is, this threshing machine can allow five to ten people to thresh wheat at the same time, or threshing rice, or even some other spike grains, can use this threshing machine.

Then, there is the power system, which also uses five to ten people, and this requires strong men.

It's simple, people cross, it's gears, and balls, but when I get to Yang Qiao, I don't use anything, what gears, I don't need it, ball bearings, this, it's used in medium and high-speed places, so it's also not needed.

However, it can't be used, it can't be used, there are blacksmiths or something at home, there are some things, you can issue tasks, let them study it first, and practice the technique by the way, it's okay.

"Lang Jun, do you need to give this away for nothing?"

The daughter-in-law also came out with a big belly to observe this new thing.

"This, the value is not very large, there is no need to give it away, and, dedication, no one will make it, however, we can simplify it, this set, cast iron shaft, can be reduced, and then, can be hung on the market for sale, I think, a small number of threshers, can still be sold, and, this, I am not afraid of someone copying, is to make a lot of money."

Yang Qiao can only say that maybe someone will buy it, so it is not a thing that I care too much about, maybe, in the future, there will be more wheat seeds in the north, and it is possible to sell more, and, it is estimated that there will not be many imitations, mainly this copper sleeve, the cast iron shaft is of higher value, and the manufacturing is more precise.

………………

"By the way, housekeeper, arrange for someone to buy grasshoppers, a hundred grasshoppers for a penny."

Since I roast grasshoppers to eat, the village chief has no idea anything, and even, recently, many villages, dolls have burned grasshoppers to eat, so, well, a delicacy, it needs to be served, and the restaurant in the city needs to be renovated, just right, it can be closed for a few days, so that the maids can come back for further study.

It is not the era of locusts, but in this era, there is no pollution and no pesticides, and there are still more grasshoppers, and they are fat and big, so soon, a lot of grasshoppers will be purchased.

At the same time as purchasing grasshoppers, Yang Qiao also arranged to buy a lot of half-ripe and semi-immature ears of wheat, which he also prepared for the maids to learn to roast and sell in the restaurant.

Is it easy to sell?

As long as it's fresh, there's no one that's not easy to sell, and besides, where does this thing appear, a delicious restaurant.

Perhaps, in other places, they can't be sold, insects, who dares to eat them, and they are not from Lu Province, they like to eat insects the most, but after this Yang Qiao crossed, it can't be said which place people like to eat insects.

This grasshopper is basically crunchy, whether it is roasted or fried, it is crunchy, and the taste is not bad.

"Eat insects, what the hell do you want to do with this kid?"

The village chief, the housekeeper, and even the villagers were not alert, and even the people who came to the restaurant to eat insects were not alert, but who is Li Er, what is this, locusts, a more taboo word, once it happens, it will be a catastrophe, this kid is portending something, and he wants to tell people something.

Not to mention, this emperor is just a lot of things, thinking about too many things, although, Yang Qiao has no way to feel about the locust plague that will appear in the future, but, this time eating insects, there is really no indication of anything, it is simply eating insects, you know, this is in the previous life that Yang Qiao crossed over, this thing, there is almost no more in the wild, people eat artificially raised, what they make is much better than what Yang Qiao does.

This ear of wheat is Yang Qiao's unique invention, this way of eating, rarely fresh, especially in a place like a big restaurant, this ear of wheat, is the work of the maid, people, just eat it, who said this is not delicious, this is food.

Roasted, roasted ears of wheat, when kneaded out, you will smell a wheat fragrance, but when you eat it, there is a rich wheat fragrance that fills the mouth, and then, there is a special taste, which makes people want to stop, that is, delicious.

Just such a way of eating has led to the surrounding areas of Chang'an City, those half-ripe ears of wheat are sold out of stock, but they are roasted, it is better to say that they are burned, although the taste is good, but compared with the big restaurants, it is still far behind.

As a direct result, the amount of wheat planted at the end of the year is many times higher than that of the previous year.

This is what Yang Qiao wants to do, this northerner, not good at growing wheat, it is still successful, this is fine grain, the previous yield, not to mention the poor eat it, it is the rich, in fact, there is not much to eat, the quantity is scarce, although, speaking of which, the north is a place to eat wheat.

"Okay, anyway, this is a good thing, you guys, go and erase his traces, no matter how people check, they only find out, this eating insects came from the countryside, it is that village, let them also think that this eating insects is from their Langjun, from other villages, it was the little girl who saw it, and wanted to eat it, so he learned it."

Sure enough, Li Er is still smart, this can be regarded as removing Yang Qiao, this is mainly an emperor's vigilance, and another point is that Yang Qiao has done anything to say, he feels very passive, but there is no way to be passive, isn't it, but, in front of him, but locusts are involved, if not, it is the best, but there is, and, all along, Yang Qiao has shown a god stick in front of the prince.

The most hateful thing is that he can see that Li Er doesn't want the crown prince to succeed to the throne, this is the most important thing, can Yang Qiao really pinch it, such a person,......

Not to mention, this emperor's work is rigorous, no, when Yang Qiao came to his daughter-in-law's village again and instructed Xia Seed, he found that people were still catching grasshoppers to sell and eat, but this statement has changed, originally, it was thanks to Lang Jun, but now, it has become, thanks to Lang Jun for learning the method of eating insects from other villages, so that the children in the village can eat some well, and they also made a small fortune.

In fact, it's not a small fortune, if you say, from the grasshopper proficiency to find, you can still find out from which place it originated, unfortunately, such a thing, it won't last long, and when the grasshoppers come down in autumn, you can't tell which village is skilled at catching grasshoppers, besides, the locust plague has more than a year, isn't it.

Naturally, Yang Qiao didn't know about these things, which, whoever passed it on, it was important or not, it could become a kind of food on the dinner table, which was a good thing.
