Chapter Eighty-Five: The Hearts of the People Are United
Faced with all illiterate, Li Yikong has theories, but he can't tell them, he can only demonstrate the operation method for everyone.
"Look, turn the fan first, and then open the plug-in door of the vertebral bucket, of course, don't open too much, and don't open too small. The speed of the fan should also be uniform and moderate, and the adjustment of both depends on experience, and the separation effect is the only test criterion! Li Yi said while conducting experiments, under different speeds, the separation efficiency of rice varies greatly: "See, the fan rotates too fast, and the plump millet is blown into the straw, and even into the chaff." The wind is too small to separate, as long as you try more, you can adjust to the best separation efficiency. Who's going to give it a try? ”
"I'm coming!" Zhao Zhe stood beside Li Yi, he looked at it for a long time, he was already eager to try, and couldn't help but blurt out.
Zhao Zhe held the rotating wheel handle, tried it a few times, and mastered the trick, and he was full of praise: "Brother Li, you are really a god, with this mill and fan, the villagers don't know how much effort to save!" ”
"Yes! This is much less effort than Chung Mi! Brother Li, you are really a great benefactor of Taiping Village! ”
"Brother Li is really good, I think we blamed us for being clumsy at the beginning, I didn't see that you had a splendid chest, otherwise listen to you, and the crops in the field will increase by a few percent!"
"Li Er of Xiao Li Zhuang, just listened to Brother Li, look at the millet and sorghum that people grow, we have never seen it in our lives!"
"What's the use of looking good, it's not still robbed by the Hu people!" ……
Everyone gossiped, gossiping, and praised Li Yi along, but when he heard that Li Er had a bumper harvest, he was really happy.
"I always hope that everyone will be fed and clothed, brothers, if you can trust Li Yi, I will give it without reservation." At the end, Li Yi looked a little excited.
"Brother Li, I can trust you!"
"I can also trust Brother Li!"
This kind of field is a matter of life and death, and most people still remain silent. Li Yi's mood returned to calm, and he smiled slightly: "Brothers, there are still a few months left until next year's spring ploughing, don't be busy jumping to conclusions." Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and after a long time, we have been in the long run, and everyone naturally understands my Li Yi's personality! ”
Everything is on the right track, with Zhang Ying and Yu Bing supporting various affairs, and four other apprentices are responsible for the specific implementation, and Li Yi has enough time to get these huge and trivial things.
The advent of the mill and fan car can be described as an instant hit, which produced a sensational effect in Taiping Village, and in only half a day, it became a household name, and everyone learned the news.
"Do you know the mill? It can grind rice and flour, it's really a magical thing, Brother Lu, don't you want to see it? ”
"That's natural, this thing is several times faster than Chungmi, and it doesn't have to be endless, pick up that big wooden pole, I've already skimmed the mortar!"
"Just one mill, how can it be enough for thousands of people, why do you leave it? Be careful that there is no rice in the pot! ”
"A mill? Joke! With Brother Li here, how could he make such a low-level mistake? He sent Liu Ping to hire craftsmen everywhere, and there were a few craftsmen from nearby villages who had already gone up the mountain, and a few more would be added in a few days! ”
"It would be good if Brother Li didn't leave, he was kind and kind, not a little stronger than Wang Laohu!"
"Brother, be quiet, let Wang Ren hear, you can't eat and walk around!"
……
The north wind swept the white grass and folded, and the snow flew in August! The day when the snow is full of ice and snow and the north wind is howling is not far off! Li Yi grew up in the land of western Liaoning, and he is accustomed to the climate here. Even if he counts nine or ten winters in the cold winter, wearing an old cotton coat, he can brave the wind and snow, chase and play with his friends.
However, cotton had not yet been introduced in the Han Dynasty, so there were no cotton clothes to protect against the cold. A small number of people have rough leather clothes, but this is a minority after all, and some families even have only one leather coat, and go out alone in winter, and the rest can only nest around the futon at home.
The indoor temperature in winter is also below freezing, and the frost and ice in the corners are not unusual. Li Yizhen admires the villagers of Taiping Village, who have survived one cold winter after another under such difficult conditions.
In the era when Li Yi grew up, there were ondols in the northern countryside, which could raise the indoor temperature to a certain extent. And lying on the fire kang can quickly drive away the cold and warm up.
The houses in the village have risen from the ground, and the small half of the family has moved into the new house, which has created the prerequisites for Li Yi to implement the fire kang.
The ancient people were reluctant to move to the north of Yan? One of the important reasons is that there is no ondol, and there is less heat source to maintain a constant temperature in the room.
Because there is no ondol, there has also been a tragedy in Taiping Village, where he was frozen to death in his sleep. Therefore, building a fire kang has become a top priority.
Due to Li Yi's growing prestige, the villagers no longer let him do these clumsy hard work. Hearing that a new project had been developed, several people had already gathered around Li Yi.
It's good that you don't have to come by yourself, save yourself clumsiness, and let the folks watch the jokes! Li Yi is the kind of person who has a fast head and slow hands and feet, he knows his own shortcomings, and only guides and supervises from the sidelines.
"To build a fire kang, we should start from removing the blank, take an appropriate amount of clay, and then find firewood and grass of moderate length as straw. (Straw is to increase the strength and toughness of the adobe and prevent it from chipping and breaking during the drying process, and its effect is the same as that of the steel bars in concrete.) Everyone is better at watering and mud than me, and there is no need for Li Yi to chatter. ”
The billet mold is new, square, and well-behaved, and at first glance it is from Wang Heng's hand. Dividing the mold into the hands of several people, Li Yi said: "The key to the demodulation of the billet is the uniform texture, one of which needs to be the mud and the soft and hard are moderate, and the dry and thin are appropriate. Second, if it is the process of taking off, it should be properly strengthened, and the surface should be smooth. ”
Hearing that Li Yi was going to take off the blank and build the kang, those children and old people were also attracted to come over, surrounding the plasterers, three layers inside and three layers outside, coaxing and shouting, and talking noisily.
The old man thinks he has a lot of experience, and it is inevitable that he will make some judgments. The children laughed and played, chased and played, grabbed a handful of mud and threw it at their companions from time to time, naughtily threw it back for revenge, honest and well-behaved, or silent, or wow wow crying. From time to time, the plasterers shouted loudly to drive away the troublemakers......
Li Yi stood aside leisurely, looking at these innocent children, thinking about his childhood. When Li Yi was a child, he didn't have elaborate toys, and he had no money to travel, so he could only play with his friends or play all kinds of local games in the alleys and alleys of the village. Due to his young age, he will inevitably fall behind in the competition.
However, Li Yi also has times when he raises his eyebrows, as long as he returns to the house when he is tired of running, and fiddles with intellectual games such as military flags and chess, then his companions will be willing to bow down and bow down.
