Chapter 146: Some Ancient Tools
"Brother, when will you go skiing, I want to hike."
The little sister was very bored and looked at Yang Qiao at work.
"Little sister, are you really bored, or let the housekeeper send you to school."
"Don't go, don't go, I'll be a long time ago, there's no fun in being with some little kids."
Little sister, it's also very smart to say, but I just don't want to learn, and, she's young, here in the Royal Academy, at this time, in fact, there is more memorization and less time to analyze, so the little sister said, I would have known it a long time ago, that is, some articles, I have memorized it for a long time, and the analysis, no matter how smart it is, it will also take a lifetime to calculate and learn.
And the eldest sister, why don't you go to the superintendent.
Don't go, every year, it's enough to go twice, each time, it's more than a month, she's mainly to impart some new, basic knowledge, such as, pinyin recognition, as well as basic applications.
Then there are Arabic numerals, and some simple calculations.
At this time, Yang Qiao didn't let the eldest sister take it out, this is not in a hurry, let's take it slowly, so, the eldest sister is very relaxed, and Yang Qiao doesn't want the eldest sister to be tired, just let her be famous, and it will be.
And at this time, what is Yang Qiao doing.
Because, he suddenly realized that he had neglected the manufacture of some simple tools, that is, he remembered when he saw the handmade wooden pestle mortar.
First of all, let's talk about this wooden mortar, Yang Qiao inquired, there are not many people, in the village, there is actually a lot of one, all borrowed from each other, he is a little puzzled, this rice, the tool of the noodles, it is said that there was a very early age, why is it almost missing here, and this wooden mortar, in the market, it seems, the price is not low.
This should be unaffordable.
Therefore, Yang Qiao felt that he didn't do any waterwheel first, right, you know, at this time, the population is relatively small, and the water can't be planted in the fields, let alone open up the wasteland.
And the waterwheel, used to grind noodles and rice, if there is no court subsidy, each village may not be able to set up one, so don't worry, Yang Qiao doesn't have the money to do good things, give each village a waterwheel.
So, in this way, let's start with the simple.
This mortar can allow the carpenters under him to earn a little money, that is, to make a mortar and sell it, Yang Qiao will not charge any intermediate money, this mortar will be thrown directly in the bean dregs shop and sold.
There is also a simple leveraged self-weight mortar.
It was a stone mortar, with a self-weight mortar made of long wood, and then, with a wooden fork, and under the wooden raft, a circle of rough iron pieces was belted, which was called a mouth.
This kind of thing, I don't know when it appeared, it is a circle of iron pieces, just to make the wooden spoon last longer, especially, this is convenient to change the mouth, that is, the old lady has changed it herself, and to change the wooden spoon, that is to find a carpenter.
And Yang Qiao didn't want to earn that extra money, so he researched this thing in advance.
Even, this set is sold relatively cheaply, that is, in a village, there are so many or dozens of households, they can afford to buy.
Especially this thing, it is quite practical and can be used for decades, that is, when Yang Qiao crossed over, there were still families using it, why, that, some multigrain noodles made with this thing are more delicious than the noodles broken by the wall breaker, which is also the reason why some ethnic minorities have been showing some ethnic minorities to make pastries using ancient methods on TV.
Therefore, some ancient tools can be preserved for a long time, perhaps, in a period of time, many of these things will disappear, but once people live well, they will start to support these things again, without it, it tastes good, and it is also a gathering place for old women and women among the people.
Whenever we come to the New Year's Festival, when we want to make some traditional food, the women in the village begin to call their sisters and call their sisters together, today, we are going to eat peanuts, tomorrow, we are going to eat chili peppers, and the day after tomorrow, we are going to eat sticky rice or something.
That is to say, one of these mortars will be used in turns, and they also know that they can wash the mortars once a day.
When the food is cooked, these women can also chat about the day, talk about the shortcomings of the family, and even, exchange some pastry making, so leisurely, especially in later generations, people are busy, just these days, can talk idlely.
Speaking of this tool, Yang Qiao reminded him of some fruits in the restaurant, it seems that he always feels that the taste is a little bad, the taste is a little bad, but I don't know the reason, it turns out, the reason is here.
Therefore, since Yang Qiao was ready to sell this tool, Yang Qiao set up a separate place in the courtyard of the big restaurant, lined up ten such tools, and even asked each family to send some maids to use some special flour and seasonings.
Sure enough, as soon as this tool was used, the taste and texture of the fruit came up.
It's still some old stuff that works well.
Naturally, Yang Qiao did not let go of the house, and two of them were also erected separately at home, so he was afraid of bumping into the car, so he used two.
Then, what, the grinding disc, was also erected, and even let the craftsman process the grinding disc for sale, the price is not very high, but it can ensure the craftsman's working hours and money.
Although these tools are also used by the rich, they are still used by the poor, and if you set up a waterwheel, you can ensure that this waterwheel will be free to grind noodles and rice.
However, some advanced tools, not to do, need to take their time.
And now, Yang Qiao, this urgent processing of these tools, perhaps, can make some of the villagers have a good year.
The so-called good New Year, that is, before the Chinese New Year, there is no need to borrow tools everywhere to process some food, as long as a few dollars, you can buy such a tool, go home, and even do not need to install it, just find a place in the room to be able to use.
Suddenly, Yang Qiao found that this ancient time, sometimes, is also very interesting, in harmony with the ancient tools, in fact, he didn't think of it, but, is this thing ancient, at least, in this era, I haven't seen it, and even, there is no history to record, when did this tool appear, then, things are coming.
Yang Qiao's sale, whether it was invented by Yang Qiao, or whether it was available in ancient times, no one can say.
But the people who bought it, but they didn't want to do so much, thanks to the food shop in the city, it was the tools sold in the shop, which allowed us to have a good year, and we could save a lot of food processing fees every year.
Yes, the consumption of this thing is very small, because it is an iron mouth and a stone mortar, so between neighbors, door-to-door use, not only to save processing costs, but also to exchange feelings, but also to make full use of time.
You know, farmers, every time they come to harvest or plant crops, they are busy for a while, and then, they are idle, especially on rainy days, and it is a good time to process some grain.
Although I can't afford to buy any soybean oil or anything, I can still buy some pork fat, process it into oil, and it can also be used to fry fruits and give them to the baby.
It can be seen how many good things Yang Qiao has done, subtly, so that there are more ways to eat this food, no, it has been spread to the ordinary people.
In short, in the bean dregs shop, all the tools that Yang Qiao can think of will be made and put out, and those that can be sold will be sold, and some are simple, and people can also go back and imitate and manufacture them themselves.
"This kid, this kid, you, hurry up and find a way to let him go to the right path, I really don't know that these little things have made his life longer again."
Lao Yan hated it, this is the New Year again, and I haven't monitored this kid for a long time, but I didn't expect that after such a period of time, there was no monitoring, and there was a change again, what is the reason?
Look at those tall traversers, it seems that the lifespan is fixed.
Could it be that this is the so-called, there will be no reward for doing good deeds with intention, there will be no reward for doing bad things without intention, and there will be no punishment for doing these things without intention, and these things that Yang Qiao did were actually unintentionally done, and they were all beneficial to the people, very down-to-earth, yes, they were down-to-earth.
"Master, that tall thing, he, he may not be!"
Sure enough, there is still this reason, not necessarily!
