When it is time to thresh, the rice bed is placed on a wide field, and people take bundles of harvested rice, and break on it vigorously, so that the rice and firewood and grass crumbs will fall down in the gaps of the small bamboo poles, pile them under the rice bed, and then pick them out and clean them in the wind.

It's just that this speed is very slow, and at the end of the day, everyone's waist is tired and can't straighten up, and the arm is also sore.

This threshing tool designed by Mu Xiu is what she has seen in her later life, this kind of threshing machine is very suitable for farmers in poor areas who cannot afford a threshing machine, this principle is similar to that of a bicycle, first use wooden blocks to make a table, there is no tabletop, only four sides of the wooden legs, should be placed in the position of the tabletop, put a roller, the roller is made of wood stakes, the solid wood inside from top to bottom smashed into an iron rod, can make it rotate, and on the surface of the stake chiseled out a horizontal bar, this is the roller.

On the two wooden legs in front of the table, tie the rope and set up a net, and on the two wooden legs behind, make two pedals, tie the wire next to the roller handle in front, and use the pedal as a power drive, it works relatively simply, as long as a person stands there, keeps pedaling with his feet, holds the rice in his hand, and puts it on the roller, the rice inside will fall to the net in front with the rotation of the roller.

Through the screening of the net, the rice grains fall into the back of the net, such a machine, no electricity or oil, if you are not afraid of tiredness, you can thresh three acres of rice a day is no problem.

After lunch, Mu Xiu commanded, Mu Shui and Chen Xuhui tinkered all afternoon, and it was finally done in the evening.

Mu Xiaocao didn't know what Mu Xiu was doing, but then she watched Mu Xiu tinkering with this thing, the more she looked at it, the more familiar it became, and when she got it done, she couldn't help but be surprised, isn't this the threshing machine that everyone in the village used to do later?

Because there is no rice planted at home, Mu Xiaocao didn't think about the thresher at all, seeing that Mu Xiu actually messed it up, she looked at Mu Xiu and asked with some hesitation: "Xiu, is this also what the book says?" ”

Mu Xiu secretly stuck out her tongue, how could she forget Mu Xiaocao's stubble, although the main sister was reborn, she felt that except for her personality, nothing else was inconspicuous, which caused her to always forget about Mu Xiaocao's rebirth.

"Yes, I read it in a book in the provincial capital, saying that some places in the south have begun to use it." Mu Xiu said casually, anyway, this thing spread all over the country later, and no one knows when and where it came from.

Listening to Mu Xiu's answer, Mu Xiaocao also nodded, yes, Mu Xiu is well-informed, and it is not surprising that she has seen this threshing machine.

"Brother Chen, put on the ox cart, let's take this to the wheat field." Mu Xiu saw that Mu Xiaocao didn't ask anymore, and she hurriedly said to Chen Xuhui.

This simple thresher was not sinking, and Mu Shui and Chen Xuhui were easily lifted to the ox cart.

At this time, there are still many people in the wheat field throwing rice, except for the eight families of rice field fish farmers in the village, because of the last rain to replant, so the rice matures late, the rest of the villagers have basically been sun-dried, pulled to the wheat field, the action is fast, even the rice grains are almost finished.

At this moment, everyone saw Mu Xiu pulling over such a thing that they had never seen before, and they all gathered around curiously.

"Mu Xiu, what kind of novelty is this?" An uncle asked curiously.

"This is to threshh rice, I just made it, who is willing to try this threshing." Mu Xiu replied with a smile.

"Look, you just stopped at the place where my house was threshing rice, so let's go to my house." The sister-in-law of the Wang family rubbed her waist and stood up straight.

"Okay, then let's borrow the rice of the Wang family's sister-in-law and try it." Mu Xiu beckoned Chen Xuhui to put down the simple thresher.

After Mu Xiu set up her position, she bent down to pick up a handful of rice, only to see her feet waiting for it, the roller kept turning, the rice was put up, and the rice grains fell quickly.

"It's a good thing." Someone in the crowd said.

"Come on, I'll try." The sister-in-law of the Wang family took the rice in Mu Xiu's hand, followed her example, and kicked up.

"It's so simple, you see, I'll be able to learn this, and I'm not tired." The sister-in-law of the Wang family said in surprise, and soon the bundle of rice in her hand was finished, and she grabbed another handful, and the speed became faster and faster.

"It's a lot faster than we can throw with our hands." Someone exclaimed.

"This is called a simple thresher, which can thresh three acres of rice a day." Chen Xuhui couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw everyone's praise and show, and the corners of his mouth rose.

Sure enough, there were exclamations in the crowd again.

"Mu Xiu, let my family borrow this for a day first, my family's rice is almost finished." The sister-in-law of the Wang family preemptively booked.

"I'll borrow it for a day, too."

"My rice is almost finished, half a day is enough."

"Folks, this is for everyone, today it's just a test, and I'll make two more tomorrow, which is completely enough for everyone." Mu Xiu said loudly.

"Mu Xiu's heart is good." The sister-in-law of the Wang family praised.

"That is, don't forget us folks in whatever you do." Others continued to boast.

With this simple thresher made by Mu Xiu, everyone quickly completed the threshing, looking at the golden grain piled high, the entire Yingwu Village was filled with the joy of a bumper harvest.

The Mu family's rice harvest was also harvested, and for the first time, there was so much white rice and white flour in the family, which made everyone's faces beaming.

"Mother, thanks to listening to your words, our family has so much food!" Mu Sheng's face was beaming, he picked up the fish meat with chopsticks, pulled a large mouthful of white rice, and ate extremely satisfied.

"Fragrant, so fragrant!" After Mu Sheng swallowed the fish and rice in his mouth, his eyes were crooked with a smile.

"Mother, why did you come up with the idea of buying a fish and eating it today?" Mugen asked suspiciously while eating.

"Alas! When I mention it, my heart hurts, this fish was bought by Liu Dazhuang's family, and it is cheaper than 1 cent outside to sell it to our family! I really regret that I didn't raise fish in the rice field with me, and the fish in Liu Dazhuang's two acres of land can be sold for hundreds of yuan! Thinking of this, Liu Qimei was heartbroken and couldn't breathe.

"So much!" Mu Sheng looked surprised.

"No, a few hundred dollars!" Liu Qimei covered her hand in front of her chest.

"This Mu Xiu is really, I heard that she proposed this rice field fish farming, she went to cheap outsiders and didn't tell us about this kind of good thing, if she made a package ticket with us at that time, we would definitely follow it!" Wang Guiying's eyes rolled, and then said angrily.
