Su Baiya suddenly couldn't bear to say the purpose of this trip, but things couldn't be delayed, she bit her lip and finally said:

"Let me tell you something, the Ge family is here today, and they want eight thousand catties of rice seeds, how long do you think it will take to prepare?"

As soon as Wu Xianxian heard this, he exploded: "I want another 8,000 catties, when will I go alone!" Can't you just think of a way, or tie up a few people to work? ”

"Do you think I don't want to? Except for the two of us, no one else can enter" Su Baiya smiled flatteringly: "The Ge family is a big customer of our company, and I can't refuse!" You just work hard and work overtime to get the 8,000 catties of rice out as soon as possible, but you don't have to be in a hurry, or you can rest for two days to relax and relax. ”

Wu Xianxian suddenly felt that the dishes on the table were not fragrant, and stopped his chopsticks and looked at Su Baiya angrily.

"Help, you're idle anyway, and it's a waste of your strength if you don't use it." Su Baiya picked up the chopsticks and grabbed a piece of greasy braised pork, handed it to the mouth of the immortal, "Open your mouth." ”

Wu Xian said while chewing the delicious braised pork: "You know that you squeeze me, then I will help you once, but after all, I am the only one who wants to harvest nearly ten acres of land, and I still want to take a break, probably you will go back for about ten days, and I will try to finish it a little earlier." ”

Su Baiya was relieved when she heard that there was a play: "I asked the carpenter to customize a rice and wheat thresher, the efficiency can be much faster, I will come to help you when I get off work later, you cut the wheat and pile it aside." ”

Wu Xian said thoughtfully: "Rice and wheat thresher? I probably know what to do when I hear the name, but I don't know if it's good or not. ”

During this period of time, Wu Xian opened up dozens of acres of fields in the Heavenly Domain, and the rice planted was enough.

As long as the rice tube is full, you don't know what tiredness is, and the efficiency of cutting wheat is probably comparable to that of small machinery.

However, the most primitive method is used in this step, holding a bundle of rice in your hand and beating it vigorously into a rectangular wooden frame, using vibration to make the rice detach from the wheat stalk, which is very time-consuming.

Su Baiya asked a carpenter to make a manual rice and wheat thresher, which only needs to shake the handle, and can drive the drum with many wooden thorns in the middle to rotate, and put the wheat on it, and the wheat grains can be removed quickly.

However, this method requires two people to operate, one person shakes the rice and wheat thresher, and the other person puts the harvested wheat on it.

One of the drawbacks of this method is that there will be a lot of impurities, deflated grains or straw chips in the middle of the wheat grains.

In this way, Su Baiya had to recall the working principle of the farm tool windmill in later generations, and it was not difficult to structure.

There is a trapezoidal feed bin at the top, a funnel at the bottom for rice or rice, a small funnel on the side for deflated grains or fine rice, and the husk at the tail.

At the front, there is a large circular warehouse with an impeller mounted on it, and when the crank of the impeller is shaken, the windmill rotates, and the faster it shakes, the stronger the wind will blow, and the cleaner it will blow.

The way of use is relatively simple, only need to pour the rice from the inlet above the windmill, and in the process of the rice falling into the windmill, the wind driven by the hand-cranked impeller will blow the debris in the rice grains out of the air outlet.

The plump rice grains will fall from the side of the funnel, and a basket or bag can be placed under the funnel in advance to collect the wheat grains.

When Su Baiya left Tianyu and returned to the cafeteria, Ge Ankang had already finished eating.

Ge Ankang couldn't wait to ask: "How is Mr. Su?" ”

Su Baiya said with a smile: "Yes, but eight thousand catties of rice is indeed a bit much, and it will take about ten days of preparation to complete." ”

"Ten days, it will take at least half a month when it is transported to Shanjin, if you can trouble Mr. Su to speed up a little."

Ge Ankang is worried that after half a month, the rainy season will begin, and the road will not be easy to walk, and the rice seeds will not be able to get wet.

"I can't guarantee this, so I can only do my best."

Su Baiya gave a conservative estimate of the time, in fact, it shouldn't take ten days, so she went to Tianyu to work overtime to improve efficiency.

Ge Ankang arched his hand: "Thank you Mr. Su, I want to stay in Zhuwo Village during this time and learn how to grow rice and water canals, I don't know if it's convenient?" ”

"It just so happens that I don't have anything to deal with here, why don't I take Ge Dong to visit?"

Su Baiya just took this opportunity to discuss the matter of opening a shop in Shanjin.

"That couldn't be better."

Because the rice produced in Tianyu is not only shortened by the growth time, but also has a lot of reduced requirements for climate and so on.

So after harvesting the first batch of rice, the villagers planted the next crop in their fields.

When you walk up to the field, you can see a green patch.

Ge Ankang couldn't stop sighing: "I saw this scene when I went to a town in the south with my eldest brother once, but I didn't expect to see it again, Mr. Su's rice seeds allow us to plant here, which really makes me admire." ”

"Ge Dong praised it, I also found it by chance."

Su Baiya continued to walk, while introducing in detail how to raise and plant rice, and unconsciously came to the dam.

Because of the occasional rain, the water level of the river is already relatively high, and the dam gate is only opened in the morning to release water into the fields, and it is closed on weekdays.

Ge Ankang walked to the dam gate and was surprised: "Mr. Su uses the pressure of water to make the dam gate closely connected with the stone embedded in the soil to waterproof, this method is seconds." ”

Su Baiya said with a smile: "Ge Dong misunderstood, I also consulted a senior to get this method, if Ge Dong intends to build a dam to divert water, I can recommend it to you." ”

"Several of Ge's villages are far away from the river, and it is too difficult to divert water, so it is still hard for farmers to draw water from the fields for irrigation."

Ge Ankang shook his head slightly and said that the construction of a canal is a big deal, and it is basically impossible for the "businessmen" who are at the low end of the society.

The reason why Qinghuai County can overhaul water conservancy is because the county magistrate is behind the scenes, so that it can be carried out smoothly.

After wandering around for a while, Ge Ankang went to talk to the old farmer who was busy in the fields.

"Mr. Su, why didn't Director Wu see him today, did he go somewhere to get busy?"

Ge Liusi asked with a red face, she didn't have anything to do with rice planting, and the reason why she came to accompany her was to ask about the news of Wu Xian.

Su Baiya looked at Ge Liusi's slightly shy, and knew Ge Liusi's thoughts.

When he was in Shanjin, Ge Liusi saw Wu Xian eating fruit mushrooms at the stall, and took the maid to the stall, and the drunkard ate fruit mushrooms without drinking.

It seems that I still can't forget it.
