Chapter 17: 80 Little Cannon Fodder 8

After a few months, Yingman can already run in the space, and his strength has increased a lot, which is comparable to that of an adult man, but although his strength has increased, because he has not learned the skills of fighting, he may not be able to beat a man.

Yingman also knows this, as a person who lives in the era of the information explosion, even if Yingman is still underage, but he knows a lot more things, after all, there is everything on the Internet later, and even videos of various death moments dare to be sent directly to the Internet.

She was going to practice the Five Elements Fist again, and she didn't plan to practice it originally, but whether she was a woman living alone or learning some means of self-preservation.

So after getting used to the gravity of space, Yingman began to practice the Five Elements Boxing, but did not practice the inner cultivation method, because the gravity of space will be improved according to her cultivation, and this cultivation does not stipulate that it must be ontological cultivation.

In the future, if her cultivation improves, she can take advantage of this, but now that she is just getting started, it is better to take her time, and it is still relatively safe now, so she doesn't have to worry so much.

Therefore, except for the typhoon after the typhoon, everyone went to rescue the rice, the other Yingman rarely acted alone, even if he went up the mountain, he was with Wang Xibaimeng Zhou Xiaomei, the old scoundrel did not wait for Yingman to be alone, and gradually he didn't come much.

made Liu Xiu half angry again, but soon she didn't have the strength to be angry, because the time for the autumn harvest was coming.

For their autumn harvest here, before the harvest is confirmed, they first put all the remaining water in the paddy field, and after a few days of drying, it is considered to be half dry, and the official harvest begins.

Yingman also took a sickle and went down to the field with everyone, although the water in the field was released, there was still some mud, and when he walked, he had to shake his feet to shake off all the mud that had sticked. And bending over to cut rice all the time is also prone to backache, not to mention the itching of the leaves on the body.

There are not many fields that they can plant here, they are all terraced fields, but they have to take advantage of the good weather to harvest them quickly, so as not to encounter autumn rain, then they will not be able to dry.

After half of the cut, the female comrades were assigned to threshing the rice, and there were no electric threshing machines at this time, only foot threshing machines, and there were only a few threshing machines in the whole village.

The front of the threshing machine is surrounded by a bamboo mat, which is specially made, with a small opening at the bottom and a concave shape, which is mainly to prevent the beaten rice from flying around.

The power of this threshing machine is that people step on it, usually one foot steps on the transmission pedal, step on it, wait until it automatically picks up and then step down, keep repeating, and there is also action in the hand, holding a handful of rice stalks to the front of the rice ear to the drum of the threshing machine, the drum is the kind of wooden barrel, on which a lot of hard wires are installed, and it is made into a triangle.

At this time, be careful, don't lean too inside, and don't put the rice stalk up all at once, but carefully put the rice ears down, otherwise people may be dragged away.

When the drum rolls, the rice can be beaten off the rice ears, the rice stalks can be rotated so that the rice on them can be beaten down, and if you are worried that it is not clean enough, you can spread out the rice stalks and beat them.

Hit clean and throw aside, good technology can often be rice stalks are neat, Yingman has not used this old-fashioned pedal threshing machine, although she also helped her grandparents beat rice, but she used an electric threshing machine at that time, although the structure is still the same, but there is no need to pedal as a power.

The first time I tried to beat rice with this method, I was really tired, my feet were very sore, and I often had to change my foot after a while.

Because the pedal is more tiring, usually a threshing machine is played by two people, and it is more labor-saving for two people to step on it together.

When you are tired, you should change it with someone else, and change to the front of the threshing machine, and what the person in front of the threshing machine needs to do is to dig out the beaten rice from under the mat and not block it, and the person who does this should also be careful not to put his hand to the drum, if he is knocked down by the drum, it will be miserable.

The rice that comes out also needs to be processed, first of all, some large rice stalks and rice leaves are pulled off, and then some fragments of rice leaves are sifted off with a sieve, and the rest is sifted away by the wind after drying, so that the wind blows these off, and finally the ones that can't be removed are blown off with a fan.

They don't have a relatively flat place here that is suitable for drying the grain, so they cut off the head of the rice stalk directly in those dry fields, and then open the drying mat made of bamboo, pour the rice up, and use a plow rake to push the rice out of the stall.

In the evening, before the sun goes down, the pads are collected from the mat, packed in snakeskin bags, placed on the side and piled in a pile, covered with straw to prevent the dew from wetting the rice.

After such a day's work, I was not only tired and panicked, but also itched all over my body, because there was a small hairy hair on the rice that would fall on my body.

After an autumn harvest, the whole person lost weight, and fortunately, during the autumn harvest, he ate a big pot of rice, so he didn't have to cook after being tired and half dead.

But after that, I didn't have idle, because there were still sweet potatoes to be harvested, and the first thing to do when harvesting sweet potatoes was to cut off the sweet potato vines that had dried yellow, receive these together, and prepare to chop and ferment them when I was free to feed the pigs in winter.

After cutting off all the vines, start digging sweet potatoes, this is a technical work, skilled old farmers can dig out the whole sweet potato with a hoe, and it will not hurt much, and the poor, half of the hoe is cut in half.

The diggers dig, while the rest of the people take baskets to pick up the sweet potatoes that have been turned over, and when they cut them, they have to remove the mud from them.

It took a few more days to finally get all the sweet potatoes ready, and after handing over the public grain, they also needed to process the remaining sweet potatoes, pour the sweet potatoes into the pig basin, wash them, dry them, and then wipe them.

The pig basin is a wooden basin that they use to kill pigs here, and the kind of oversized basin into which the whole pig can be put in, pour the whole frame of sweet potatoes into it, add water, and then use a bamboo pole with a piece of bamboo in front of it to constantly stir in it to wash all the mud.

After the sweet potatoes are taken out and dried, the sweet potatoes are shredded with a grater, and then placed on the drying mat that has been vacated to dry.

After working for so long, she got the food she received, and her heart was full of excitement, although she hadn't done farm work before, but it was really the first time that the intensity was so great, and it was in this era when food was not abundant, and it felt different.
