By April, the wheat was ready to be harvested.

This year is still dry, the wheat does not grow very energetically, but fortunately there is a harvest, when Taishou led people to inspect the wheat field, Adam also followed.

"Corn rice is precious, wheat rice is rough and scratches the throat, only people who are really poor and have no money to eat corn rice will rely on wheat rice to satisfy their hunger."

Adang asked: "In the previous dynasty, didn't the stone mill come from the Western Regions?" ”

Taishou sighed: "I've only heard of the stone mill, but I haven't seen it, so it can be seen that it is rare." Grinding wheat flour, most of the people use stone mortars to pound, heavy and heavy, the people are already tired of working in the field, who has time to get it? ”

"What if the stone mill is promoted and the livestock are used to pull it?"

"It's going to be dusty, it's still hard to swallow." Taishou shook his head, "'Tease it, knead it, release it, steam it'...... It's a lot of trouble to make wheat rice. ”

Adam frowned, touching his chin and pondering.

At night, she lit a candle and lay down on the table to draw, Shang Qing urged her to go to bed early, and she gave him the picture with bright eyes.

"Can you make this?"

The picture shows a small two-story building, hollowed out in the middle, and a set of stone mills of a strange style is installed.

Shang Qing was stunned: "This is ......"

"I remember seeing a stone grinding pattern like this before, and it was much better than the one that came from the Western Regions, so I wanted to try it."

In fact, it was in the early modern times, when he accompanied her to play, the two of them went to the museum with nothing to do, and Adam didn't mind seeing a kind of Yuan Dynasty Qu Shi Mill that people restored.

In terms of time, this is a kind of mill that will be born more than a thousand years later, but knowing that the world will be in chaos and food will be in short supply in a few years, Adam can't wait and draws them in advance.

The more Shang Qing looked, the brighter his expression became, and he quickly put the picture away, and Cheng Nuo said, "Within five days, it will be made for you." ”

Adam smiled.

He was something she had never been disappointed to rely on, and for so long, there was nothing he couldn't do as long as she brought it up.

From the promotion of planting alfalfa grass in Beiyan, to the small ones she used to figure out the tools of the future generations, he could do it all in a very short time after she proposed it.

Adam began to get busy tinkering with the stone mill.

When the spring wheat was harvested and the bran was dried, a peculiar style of stone mill was popularized, and it soon became popular in Hanyang County:

The biggest feature of this kind of grinding is that it is ground upstairs, and there is a machine shaft downstairs to rotate!

The donkeys and animals are pulling, but the grain and stone mills are all upstairs, whether it is the ravaging of livestock or the exchange of human servants, they will not splash dust and dirt on the grain, and there is no dust and filth.

Taishou vigorously promoted this kind of mill in isolation, and one must be installed in every five villages.

The farmers were ecstatic, dragging the wheat and eagerly lining up, staying up late to grab a front row, hoping to grind the wheat into flour earlier.

Ground wheat can be fermented with koji, fluffy up, and made into soup cakes or steamed cakes, which are very delicious, and there is no roughness of wheat rice at all!

With food and clothing, people's lives feel hopeful, and the smiles on the faces of the farmers in Hanyang County are increasing day by day.

In the autumn of this year, the first white stacks were ripe.

The white clouds were plucked, and the attentive peasant women quickly figured out how to comb and remove the seeds from the clouds with needles and wooden planks.

Soon, the first bed of cloth spun with white stacked twisted threads appeared in the eyes of everyone!
