Chapter 129: The Second Senior Brother's Rake (for Su Mohan's Ten Thousand Rewards)

"Smack, smack, slap......"

The sound of sticks slicing through the air was followed by the sound of wooden forks slapping on rapeseed, mixed with the sound of rapeseed pods exploding and rapeseed bursting out.

Wood and a few other people in the tribe were slapping the rape hard.

This is not an easy job, and if it were easy, people would not use cows and horses to do this work in future generations.

From noon, until the sun is halfway west, the rape drying in the wheat field is considered to be completely beaten.

Under Han Cheng's guidance, Mu Tou and the others picked up the battered, bruised, and empty rape stalks with wooden forks and piled them up on the edge of the wheat field.

There is a small detail that needs special attention when doing this, that is, you need to shake the rapeseed stalk with a wooden fork a few times before it is completely shoveled away, which is to shake out the rapeseed entrained in the empty rape stalk.

After the rape stalks are picked, a layer of finely chopped rapeseed pods is left on the ground, as well as those small, black-brown rapeseeds.

Han Cheng stepped on it barefoot, slippery, and itchy under his feet.

The woodmen began to use a tool to pull the scattered rapeseed into the middle of the wheat field.

This kind of tool is the common 'plundering rake' in later generations

The so-called plundering rake is generally made of wood, and the specific structure is similar to that of the second senior brother's nine-tooth nail rake.

It is a stick more than a meter long, with a rake head attached to the front.

The difference is that the nine-toothed nail rake of the pig gang can not only subdue demons and eliminate demons, but also can be used to plow the ground in Gao Laozhuang, and this kind of wooden rake can only be used in the 'field'.

With a wooden fork, you can only roughly clean out the empty rape stalks, and there will be a lot of fine pieces.

Because the wooden fork has few teeth, only three, and it is still an old rare tooth, and the distance between each fork teeth is nearly 20 centimeters, it is impossible to remove these.

At this time, it is the turn of the rake to come into play, this family has many teeth, and it is also dense, it is a good tool to deal with these.

The construction of the plunder rake is simple, and it is not difficult to make.

It is only necessary to cut a piece of wood about five centimeters in diameter and half a meter long, and then use a stone axe to cut out four sides as much as possible, and then drill a hole with a diameter of about one and a half centimeters every four to five centimeters on one of the faces, and about nine can be drilled.

Because the Qingque tribe already has a hand-pressed drill, and when he studied the wooden ladder before, Han Cheng also came up with a way to use fire to expand the eye, and now this drilling is not too difficult for the Qingque tribe, but it takes a little time.

These holes need to be drilled through.

After these were done, I found some hard sticks, about two and a half centimeters thick, with wet bark on them.

First, take a stick and put it in the fire, grill about 10 centimeters at one end, wait for a while, then pull it out of the fire, and then stick it into the crack of a large stone while it is hot.

You need to bend it into an arc that is not too curved, wait until it gets cooler, and then release it, and the stick will basically stay in this position and will not go back.

Xunzi's "Persuasion" said, "The wood is straight in the rope, and it is a wheel, and its curve is in the rules." Although there is a violent situation, those who do not stand up, let it be 'in', make wooden wheels, and use this method.

Cut off the curved section and repeat the previous movement until you have made nine segments of similar length and arc, and then stop.

Of course, because the technology was not mature enough, when Han Cheng was leading the lame to do these before, he made fourteen of them, and only then did he get these nine wooden sticks with similar arcs and basically the same length.

This stick is the tooth on the 'rake'.

Of course, such teeth cannot be used directly now, and further processing is required.

Peel off the blackened skin on the outside, and then make one of the ends thinner.

This was a difficult thing to do before.

At least the cripple, who often deals with wood, felt that it would take at least two days to polish one end of these nine curved pieces of wood to the specifications that Miko said.

However, what Han Cheng did next was greatly beyond the lameness of his expectations.

Because Han Cheng did not polish the stick with stone tools or anything else as the cripple expected, but put the stick into the fire next to him, allowing the flame to burn the end of the stick that needed to be polished.

Lame was a little worried and looked at it with some kind of expectation, wanting to see miracles again from Miko and learn new things.

The temperature of the flame soon blackened the white stick, and it burst into flames.

After waiting like this for a while, Han Cheng took it out, and quickly polished the blackened place on the stone.

After the hard wood was burned by the fire, the layer of charcoal left on the outside was easy to bully, and it fell off after a little polishing.

Seeing that Miko had finished this stick that had taken a lot of effort to sharpen in a very short period of time, his lame eyes lit up again.

It's not complicated, but why can't I think of it?

Thinking with some distress like this, he also joined in this novel grinding.

The polished teeth are passed through the wooden pillar where the hole was drilled one by one, and the small head that has been ground first is worn first, so that the big head will get stuck in the hole and be relatively firm.

After the rake teeth are worn and smashed firmly with stones, the whole rake head is also done.

However, because it was necessary to install a wooden handle, it was necessary to use a stone chisel and charcoal to make a flat hole on the side of the middle of the nine rake teeth.

These days, indulging in the manufacture of wooden ladders and unable to extricate himself from the lame, he has already practiced the technique of digging the hole to the point of perfection, and digging such a hole is no longer a problem for him.

After resting and polishing the thicker end of the chopping handle, inserting it into the socket, and wrying it with a wood 'split', it is likely that the world's first 'rake' used exclusively for agricultural production appeared.

Because the manufacture of the rake is quite complicated, and when Han Cheng remembered this, the rape was about to ripen, and the Qingque tribe currently had only one rake.

Fortunately, the current Qingque tribe has less land, and a rake is enough to cope with the current situation.

After Han Cheng took the rake and personally demonstrated how to use it, this brand-new farm tool fell into the hands of the 'balloon'.

A balloon is not a real balloon, but a person.

He turned out to be from the pig tribe, and the reason why he fell into such a name was not because he was particularly fat, but because he became fat quickly.

When he first joined the Qingque tribe, he was thin and thin, without two taels of meat, but now it has only been a few months, and the meat on his body has grown like a balloon, and in response to his situation, Han Cheng gave him such a name.

Balloon once asked Han Cheng what time the balloon was, and Han Cheng resisted the urge to tell him that it was something similar to a urine bubble, but he just deduced that it was a good thing.

Balloon was very happy to hear that the great Son of God said that the balloon was a good thing.

Looking at the elated balloon, Han Cheng's face suddenly twitched a little, because he suddenly remembered that something that was not used to blow seemed to be called a balloon......

(Thank you for your support, thank you for your tips and recommendation votes, thank you.)

Take this opportunity to tell your book friends about the plot of the past two days.

The plot of these two days is relatively light.,Many book friends want to see the climax.,It's just that this kind of Tianwen climax is not good.,It's supposed to be an easy farmer.,I can't force the plot to fight with others or something.,Then the book will collapse if it's not good.,It's easy to turn over when the car drives more.。

I admit that I write a lot about rape, and there is a reason why there are too many things interspersed with me, and if you remove the wooden forks, silkworms, and rakes, there will be a lot less things about rape. Written in such detail, I also have my own considerations, when the time of the crops will gradually increase, need to use similar means to do a lot of crops in the wheat field, and the time can be abbreviated.

I know that everyone also wants to make this book more exciting, and I am trying my best to write it, but as the results of the book gradually improve, I become more and more troubled by gains and losses, and I am always worried that the writing will not be good, and I am worried that the writing will collapse. To tell you the truth, I often can't sleep well these days because I am entangled in this matter. After hitting the street for so long, this one finally saw some hope, and unconsciously took it too seriously, and his worries became more and more......

As for the rape, I'll finish it as soon as possible. )
