Wheat needs to be threshed after harvesting. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The simple way to do this is to use flail or threshing barrels, constantly smashing and swinging to make it unhulled, but it is too primitive.

"Inefficiency will not be tolerated!" It's their slogan.

Mao Zhigang and Luo Shili did not participate in the wheat harvest and completed the manufacture and assembly of the "manpower foot thresher".

This kind of threshing machine is widely used in rural areas, and the structure is simple, and it is easy to copy it after only seeing it once. The premise is that there is technology.

Operating a foot-operated machine is a lot of fun, with men scrambling to take turns, as if riding a bike was originally a recreational activity.

Threshing cannot be delayed, there are still a lot of things waiting for the future, and it is common to work at night.

Bonfires were lit in the clearing, and the smoke of artemisia grass was lit, and these unprofessional farmers threw bundles of wheat into the machines, and packed bags of threshed wheat into the machines.

Busy crowds, flying smoke, mosquitoes and dancing flames combine to create the most peculiar night scene in the wilderness.

After threshing, the moisture of the wheat should be removed by exposure to the sun to facilitate storage and avoid mildew. There is a clearing in the camp that has long been leveled with mortar and made into a huge drying field.

Drying has to go through three steps every day, and how long it lasts depends on God's face.

Spread the wheat evenly in the field first.

Then turn the field, and use a wooden shovel to constantly turn the wheat so that each grain of wheat is exposed to the sun.

At the end of the day, after sunset, cover the grain to prevent rain.

Before entering the warehouse, there is one last miscellaneous procedure - Yangchang. The wheat is lifted with a wooden shovel, and the husk and dust are blown away by the wind, and the clean grains are separated. This is the most tiring step. But no matter how busy and tired you are, as long as there is good weather, everyone can always work together to get it done.

After raising the field, the pioneers estimated the harvest of the year, because the wind and rain were smooth, there was no flood, drought and frost, and the average yield per mu reached 250 catties, which did not reach the level of 300 catties of improved varieties boasted by the Reclamation Bureau, but it was also a bumper harvest.

The total wheat production is 25 tons. Nine tonnes of seeds are reserved for next year, and there are 16 tonnes of surplus grain. Setting aside food rations for the next year, calculated at 10 tons, the daily quota of staple food per person is also as high as 1.2 kilograms, even if everyone is regarded as a heavy manual laborer, the calorie needs are sufficient.

This winter, not only do they not need to buy grain, but they can also sell at least six tons of wheat to the Reclamation Bureau. This is the victory of all pioneers, and the most intuitive crystallization of self-reliance and hard work!

But the real problem is: how do you eat the wheat?

The ancients believed that wheat was slightly poisonous, and it was not until the Tang Dynasty that pasta was accepted by the mainstream. One of the reasons is that the grinding and processing technology is not developed, and the taste of wheat rice is coarse and difficult to swallow.

If you want to eat wheat, you have to grind the dough.

If you want to grind noodles, you need to have a stone grinding.

If you want a stone mill, you need a stonemason's tools.

Some of them can be improvised, but there is one most important thing that cannot be sloppy, and that is chisels. Chisels are divided into long chisels, short chisels, flat chisels, sharp chisels, and flat chisels, and are used for cutting, cutting, cutting, cutting, shoveling, and grinding.

Mao Zhigang, who has been a carpenter for more than half a year, finally has the opportunity to return to the metallurgical industry. He selected two metal short sticks from the spare parts of the tractor and transformed them into chisels.

Because there were only two, he made a sharp chisel for making large shapes, nests, and hollowing, and a flat chisel for later bulldozing.

It is not easy to beat the iron rod into a chisel, Mao Zhigang only has a hastily built calcining stove, an iron hammer that is not smooth, an iron material with a hard hardness, and a bellows that will fall apart in a few days. Even so, the chisel was played. He assured the others that the chisel would not break until the stone grinding was completed.

The stone mill consists of two short cylindrical stones of the same size and a grinding disc on an adobe table.

Initially, they brought in two pieces of marble to polish. It didn't take long for Mao Zhigang to ask for a softer stone, otherwise the chisel would not be able to bear it. So Lin Qian went out and personally selected two pieces of sandstone.

As a stonemason, no one has experience, everyone tried their hands, and everyone pondered.

In the final product, the wooden plate on which the flour is received is stacked with a fixed lower fan and an upper fan that can be rotated; The contact surface of the two fans has a neat grinding texture, and the iron shaft is stabilized to prevent the upper fan from falling off when it rotates, and this iron shaft is naturally also a spare parts for the tractor.

There is a grinding eye in the upper fan, and the grain leaks out of the grinding hole and enters the cavity between the stone fans. When the horse pulls the stone mill, the grain moves outward along the grain, where it is ground and formed into a powder that flows from the cracks to the grinding disc.

In this way, flour with bran is produced, which is whole wheat flour. Whole wheat flour is flour when it is sifted and the bran removed.

The sieve surface is not in a hurry, they only sift a few in small quantities. After all, bran contains highly nutritious fiber, and regular consumption can make the human body healthy, so there is no need to eat too finely.

At the end of August, the grain was returned to the warehouse. The human harvester was dismantled and the parts were returned to the tractor and cultivator.

They plowed the harvested farmland and burned it again to create 200 acres. As for the next step of farm work, that's next year.

Fix it down on a daily basis.

Build rammed earth and brick walls, drive horses to grind, fish, hunt, burn pottery, chop firewood, threh sheep grass, dig cellars to make green fodder...... Although there is a lot of work, it can be done step by step.

The pace of the wilderness slows down. The exiles finally had time to hold reading clubs, theoretical seminars, give Jin Jing lessons, and even go out into the wilderness to make a careful investigation.

Jin Tong took out the notebook that had not been touched for a long time and continued to write his "Notes on the Great Wilderness".

The ninth article is called "Green Bricks", the tenth is "Fishing", the eleventh article is "Picking Herbs", the twelfth article is "Wild Vegetables", the thirteenth is "Wolf Disaster", the fourteenth is "Summer Insects", the fifteenth is "Bamboo Flute", the sixteenth is "Wheat Harvest", the seventeenth is "Sheep Grass", and the eighteenth is "Autumn Thickong...... The long ones are more than 10,000 words, and the short ones are thousands. Its writing is tranquil and unadorned, and the experience will be narrated, neither elevating the idea nor twisting the plot.

Wu Rui's feeling after reading is: "It seems to be flat and straightforward, but there is actually a spirit running through, unconsciously touching the reader's heart." But then again, the authorities are obsessed, and we may not be able to do objective ......."

Lin Qian said frankly: "The first few articles on going north, camping, and digging wells are still jerky, and when it comes to hunting, it is handy, and when it comes to sacrifice, the text is a bit ...... Extreme. After that, I stopped writing for a few months, and then I decided on the style of writing, and it looked quite comfortable......"

Her views were widely shared at the book club. Only Jin Tong knew in his heart that the reason why the more he wrote later, the more he wrote, the more he wrote, the more he wrote, the more he wrote, the more he wrote

After Lu Tianxi came out of the haze, he gradually returned to his true colors, and he complained about the "homemade bow and arrow" in his notes.

Prisoners are not allowed to possess guns, and if "Notes on the Great Wilderness" is to be published, the guns must be hidden. But many times, writing about rifles is inevitable, such as wolf hunting.

Even so, they had to replace illegal long-range weapons with legal long-range weapons, and "homemade bows and arrows" became the best cover-up.

Lu Tianxi said sarcastically: "Not to mention the professional skills of bow making, how long does it take to complete a bow, just say that the rate of fire is ......."

In the chapter of "Wolf Calamity", Jin Tong, Cao Dong, and Lin Qian not only have the magic skill of "Lianzhu Arrow", but also have a high accuracy and great power, and it is trivial to insert an arrow into the wolf's head, no wonder Lu Tianxi picks thorns.

“…… There are several articles mentioning homemade bows and arrows, and I counted eight of them with superb archery. This "Notebook" has been published, and we are afraid that we will be called the 'Eight Heroes of the Divine Arrow' by the common people or something! ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing, and Jin Tong also laughed.

Martial arts are martial arts, and the right is revolutionary propaganda.

Discussing Jin Tong's works only took up very little time in the reading club, and they talked more about the classics.

Jin Tong bought more than 50 books in Shengshan County, plus the books carried by the exiles, the "Wasteland Library" has a collection of 103 books.

Most of these books are literary works, which are the essence of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign novels and poetry collections; The second is the political and economic monographs, not only "Capital", "The Wealth of Nations" and other famous works, but also the latest research by domestic scholars such as "Chaebol and State Capitalism".

In addition, the library also has a number of authoritative works in specific fields, such as "Atomic Structure and Quantum Discontinuity" in physics; "Introduction to Number Theory" in Mathematics; "Vaccine History and Prospects" in medicine; the archaeological "Oracle Bone Exploration"; The historical "Outline of Reconstructing the History of the Ming Dynasty" ......

Lu Tianxi, who is the most complicated reader, has read more than 70 of them in full. Jin Tong, a college preparatory student, originally didn't read much, but after sitting on the memory of two lifetimes, more than 50 books were read on the whole, and most of the books that he didn't read were "new books" created by the time-travelers who disturbed history.

The most fascinating of these new books is "When the Stars Shine". The book was published eight years ago by Shi Weige, a well-known investigative journalist from Daqi.

At the invitation of the descendants of the founding heroes, Shi wrote several stylized biographies, and was gradually attracted by the deeds of the heroes of the empire.

He spent two years collecting information, interviewing historical witnesses, and finally wrote "When the Stars Shine", which is known as a "famous story".

Contrary to the political incorrectness of "Heaven and Earth Are Unkind", "The Stars" is a genuine "main theme".

This collection of biographies of famous people since the founding of the People's Republic of China includes generals, ministers, envoys, writers, scientists, engineers, ...... Twenty-nine people in total. They either stood up when the nation was in decline, or single-handedly raised China's scientific, technological, economic, and cultural level to the world's first-class level.

Outstanding people can turn things around with their own strength and stand on the cusp of the changes of the times, which is the heroic historical concept of Shi Wei Pavilion.
