304 Inspection of agricultural implements

The Liang brothers sighed with emotion and continued to inspect the goods.

The farm tools brought up this time are even more surprising, this is completely a wooden model version of the nine-tooth nail rake!

Most people's understanding of "rake" may only come from the weapon used by Zhu Bajie in "Journey to the West" - the nine-tooth nail rake.

Lu Zhi had seen a rake in the countryside, but the role of that rake and this rake was different, and the appearance was very different, so in order to be practical when plastic, uh, there were also aesthetic considerations, which directly caused the appearance of a nine-tooth nail rake.

This kind of rake is essentially a farming tool for breaking mud, not used for fighting at all, it is mainly used for paddy field leveling after ploughing the land, and is suitable for crops such as rice.

If ploughing is to plough the field and wake up the sleeping land, then harrowing the field is fine.

The rake is like a big comb, turning back and forth in the field, combing and leveling the field, the coarse mud blocks are cut, and the broken grass and stones can be picked out.

Seeing the wooden plough made by the Lu family, Liang Tian didn't care how exaggerated the shape of the rake was, he just started to do it, and he hunched his waist and frantically pulled back and forth around the bony "S......

Liang Zhong didn't make a move this time, just stood beside Lu Zhi and shook his head, "It's a pity that this is a dry field, otherwise it's interesting." ”

"How?" Lu Zhi really hadn't seen it, so he was very curious about Shimoda's affairs.

Liang Zhong pulled Lu Zhi and began to tell the story.

The process of raking the land does not look like farm work, but rather like a water game:

Since the rake needs to eat the amount to achieve the effect of leveling the land, it is usually the farmer who stands directly on the harrow and presses the rake teeth into the paddy field, and the rake is pulled forward by the oxen, and the wide harrow "rides the wind and waves" in the paddy field.

Children like this part the most, and they are often eager to try, but few adults are willing to take their children to rake the ground together, once they turn into the paddy field and choke on muddy water, it is not a joke.

Lu Zhi is not afraid of choking on water, he also wants to play.

Seeing Lu Zhi's "childlike nature", Liang Chong shook his head and smiled, "To put it mildly, if Brother Lu goes to the field, I'm afraid he won't be able to catch up with the children." ”

"Haha~~~" Lu Zhi scratched his head, and could only use a dry smile to resolve the embarrassment.

There is one thing to say, eighty percent of what Liang Zhong said is the truth, and the remaining two percent is to save face for Lu Zhi.

"But." Liang Zhong gave a thumbs up, "Your level of improving farm tools, my brother is really convinced!" ”

"Where, where." Lu Zhi waved his hand and said modestly, "There is a specialization in the art industry!" ”

"Okay, I still have a specialization in the art industry!" Liang Tian came back with the rake, and shouted while running, "Yes, this rake is really good, it is light and easy to use!" ”

…………

The wooden hoe was used for weeding, and now it is in use, so Liang Zhong did not inspect the goods himself, but sent them directly to the tenant farmers in the fields.

The tenant farmers didn't say anything, not only did they not dislike it, but they were even a little excited.

Don't look at the fact that this hoe is all wooden, it looks a little thin, but at the most, the most is better than pulling the grass with bare hands.

This guy won't take long to see at first glance, but if you can use an acre, you can use an acre, and if you can use half an acre, it can be a lot lighter.

Tenant farmers are experienced, and they may not feel it when they bend down to pull weeds, but once it is night, when they go to bed, this waist begins to hurt, and a pain is half a night, especially in the early morning when the rooster crows, and they can't get out of bed!

Therefore, they deeply understand a truth, there are tools to use, and there are no tools to create tools.

Lu Zhi looked at the sweaty tenant farmer and licked his thirsty mouth, "It's really this hot day." ”

Liang Tian looked at Lu Zhi and shook his head secretly, he is really a son-in-law, what is this hardship?

Liang Zhong spread his hands, "It's all for life, they don't have your skills, and they can't make any money." ”

Lu Zhi nodded, he actually couldn't do anything, he just sighed.

However, this wooden hoe is still very durable, and I don't know if it will "disappoint" the tenant farmers.

…………

The last thing to be inspected is the wooden sickle, and agricultural tools such as shovels are actually not very commonly used, and there is little point in inspecting them.

"This ......" Liang Tian glanced at Liang Zhong in embarrassment, and stopped talking.

Although I have seen the power of the Lu family's improved farming tools, to be honest, the wooden sickle still can't make people feel a sense of identity.

You know, even if it is an all-iron scythe, it can't be used for a long time, and the blade won't be fast after harvesting, so you need to sharpen the knife.

But how do you sharpen the blade of this wood?

"Rest easy." Lu Zhi took a wooden scythe, held the handle of the scythe in one hand, and the back of the scythe in the other, and disassembled them with a push and a pull.

Lu Zhi had already considered that even with the blessing of attributes, the blade was so thin that it was still easy to wear, so he came up with a way to replace the blade.

The Liang brothers understood, the two glanced at each other, Liang Chong shook his head slightly, "The way is a good way, but this ......"

He had the intention to raise the issue of cost, but in the end he still didn't say it, which was already the best way to do it in the case of iron control.

Liang Tian frowned slightly, and also sighed, "Try it." ”

The rice in the field is not yet ripe, so naturally it cannot be used for experiments, so it is not a waste of food, so the Liang brothers found a piece of wasteland to cut grass.

The sickle is a very typical agricultural tool, and the wooden sickle made by Lu Zhi is composed of a slightly curved blade and a straight wooden handle, and the wooden handle and blade are in the shape of a "7".

Moreover, the direction of the blade of the sickle and the direction of the handle are not on the same plane, which ensures that the farmer only needs to bend down during the harvest instead of lying on the ground.

The use of the sickle is also quite special, the common use of the knife is generally to swing outward or downward, or swing in a circle around the body, but the sickle is to swing the blade to the inside of the body.

I saw Liang Zhong holding a bundle of weeds with one hand, and holding the wooden handle of the sickle in the other, and with a diagonal wave from the outside to the inside, the bundle of weeds was cut by Qi Brush.

Skillfully putting the weeds aside, Liang Zhong continued to wield the scythe......

Liang Tian is the same, faintly, the two seem to be still competing.

Lu Zhi had to sigh again, this competition is really benign enough.

As a harvesting tool, the "7" shape of the sickle and the use of the scythe from the outside to the inside are very mechanical, so that the harvested rice can be quickly sorted into a stamped pile aside, and the farmer can continue to harvest.

However, due to the special construction and use method, it takes a lot of skill to use the scythe well, and the most common mistake that people who are new to using the scythe make is to cut their calf when they bend down and swing the scythe inward.

Lu Zhi is very self-aware, and he has no intention of trying at all, this is not a joke.
