Chapter 31 Grinding and Stone Milling

As soon as he thought of this, Li Yan flashed and entered the space again, when he was in the space, he really didn't like others watching from the side, but in order to help Li Na and them, he had to bring Li Na and them to the space to take a look, and now the Kalin family still has to rely on them.

This time, Li Yan let Li Na and Zhao Xuan know the situation in the space, just to make them more confident, now the crises here on the Loess Plateau are one after another, if Li Na and they lose confidence, then everything will be over.

After arriving in the space, Li Yan immediately bought the radish, this time it was three seasons of radish, a total of 1,500 gold coins were bought, and after adding the original fifty gold coins, he had 1,550 gold coins in his hand, if he used these gold coins to grow radish, it was enough to plant ten seasons of radish.

Li Yan didn't want to use radish to keep seeds, but radishes are different from corn, when they are ripe, they mainly eat roots, and I don't know if the space will let them set aside seeds.

Anyway, you can make a lot of money by selling the radish, if you sell it outside, you will make even more, as long as Zhao Lin comes back, they can sell the radish, and then he can buy back some books on mainland plants, so that he can decide what to plant, now he knows too little about the plants on the mainland, and he can't develop if he wants to.

Li Yan also has no choice, now he bought the radish, and tomorrow he can still harvest a season of radish, anyway, he told Zhao Lin that he only has 80,000 catties of radish in his hand, and one season of radish is enough for the time being.

But now although he has more than 1,500 gold coins in his hand, these money are not very enough, Luo Tian can collect three times a day, that is to say, these gold coins in his hand are only enough for three days, and after three days, he still has to sell radishes once.

Li Yanchu was very helpless, his current level was too low, even if he wanted to buy some high-level seeds, he couldn't buy them, so he could only wait, at this rate, he didn't know when he would be able to upgrade in the space.

Coming out of the space, Li Yan fell asleep after lying on the bed for a while, and he also found that he seemed to be able to sleep very well now, and he obviously slept in the afternoon, and he could still sleep at night, which was incredible.

Early the next morning, Li Yan was woken up by the sound of radishes ripening in the space, and when he arrived in the space, he saw that not only the radishes, but even the corn was about to ripen.

Li Yan immediately put away the radishes, bought another bag of radish seeds and planted them, looked at the corn, and it was ripe in a few minutes, Li Yan didn't want to go out, washed his face with the water in the space, rinsed his mouth again, and waited in the space.

Looking at those corns, Li Yan was really greedy, he used to live in the north, although no one had taken corn as a staple food at that time, but it was very good to eat a meal occasionally, but the corn at that time was some high-yield corn, not as delicious as the sticky corn before, and most of them were planted with chemical fertilizers, and the taste was far inferior to that of farm fertilizer, so at that time Li Yan only ate a few times occasionally.

However, some Li Yan went to his relatives' houses in the countryside, but he ate a good thing, using the cornmeal cakes in the big iron pot in the countryside, which were delicious, so delicious.

The cornmeal cake is completely different from the kind of cornmeal cake bought in the city, although the cornmeal is very thick, but the cake is very fragrant, the bottom of the pot is stewed again, the lower part of the cake is sticked to the vegetable soup, one side is branded out of the red pot, a bite not only has the fragrance of cornmeal, but also the flavor of the pot with the paste, and the place where the vegetable soup sticks is even more fragrant.

Thinking of this, Li Yan couldn't help but oversecrete saliva, and there was an endless gushing meaning, Li Yan came back to his senses, and hurriedly swallowed his saliva twice, but smiled bitterly.

Although he has eaten corn ballast porridge and corn flour cakes, but how to process this thing, he doesn't know much, only know that the processing of corn ballast is relatively simple, as long as the skin is peeled and the umbilicus can be removed, and the corn flour is more troublesome, the corn must be made into corn hall ballast, and then ground into cornmeal.

If it were on earth, it would be very simple to process corn, find a grain processing plant, and as soon as the machine is turned on, it will be finished in a while.

But not here, there are no grinders, and there is no way to process this corn.

Li Yan sighed, at this moment, the prompt sound of the space sounded once, the corn was ripe, Li Yan immediately harvested the corn, and planted the two acres of corn at one time, and then looked at the corn field and was stunned, the yield of this corn is high, but this processing is a problem, I really don't know how the person ate corn before.

Suddenly, Li Yan was clever, and he suddenly found a problem, the appearance of this corn must be longer than that of the crusher, flour grinder, etc., in those years when there were no machines, did people just cook corn kernels and eat them? People weren't that stupid back then, were they? So how do they process corn?

Li Yan turned around the space a few times, and habitually touched his forehead, thinking about how people used to process rice noodles.

Suddenly, Li Yan slapped his forehead, and he finally remembered two things, these two things he had only seen people use on TV, but he had never used them again, and he had not seen the current rural people use them, so he didn't think about them for a while.

Grinder, stone grinder!

Yes, these are two things, when Li Yan went to his relatives in the countryside before, he also saw a grinding disc, but it was a grinding disc that had been removed, and now there is no one and that thing in the countryside, but because of curiosity, he still asked what this grinding disc and mill are used for, and this question only knew that this grinding disc and mill were used to beat rice and noodles.

The most important thing is that these two things, the main materials are stone and wood, stone is good to say, although there are not many stones available for mining in the mountains now, but it should be enough to make a mill and a stone mill, and wood is not used much, and there is no need for too good materials, those small trees that grow on the mountain can do.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Yanzai couldn't stay still, and immediately came out of the space, looked at the sky outside, Zhao Xuan and the others should have all gotten up, Li Yan immediately pushed the door and walked out.

As soon as Li Yan came out, he saw Zhao Xuan and Li Dou walking towards his room with a copper basin, and when he saw Li Yan coming out, Zhao Xuan couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly said, "Young master, why did you come out, you haven't washed up yet." ”

Li Yan smiled and said, "It's okay, I've already gotten up and I've already washed it, Li Dou, is your brother okay?" Did you get up? ”

Li Dou was originally standing behind Zhao Xuan with his head down, but when he heard Li Yan say this, he hurriedly said, "Young Master Xie cares, An is already well, and he is waiting outside to meet you." ”

Li Yan said with a smile: "What are you doing so politely, what do you want to see or not, let's go, go to the living room first, you call An, I have something to ask him." ”

Zhao Xuanhe was stunned for a moment, but she didn't say anything, the two immediately responded and followed Li Yan to the living room.

When he arrived in the living room, Zhao Xuan put down the copper basin in his hand and stood behind Li Yan, but Li Dou went outside the house to call An.

This inner fort is divided into the main fort and the subordinate room, the main fort is where Li Yan and they live, and the subordinate house is some small houses where the subordinate live, behind the main fort, now Li Dou and An live in the subordinate room, although they are already civilians, and they were also given a surname by Li Yan, but their identity is compared with Zhao Xuan, but it is still far from it, Zhao Xuan They are confidants, and Li Dou They can only be regarded as ordinary servants.

After a while, Li Dou led An in, to say that An Chang is really good, and his figure is also very tall, just a little thin, but he looks very strong.

Now he doesn't have the dying appearance of others, but he still keeps his head down and doesn't dare to speak.

Li Dou walked up to Li Yan and lowered his head and said, "Young Master, Ann is here." ”

Li Yan nodded, glanced at An who was standing not far away, and smiled: "Call him over, don't have such big rules, I have something to ask him." ”

Li Dou immediately called An over, and as soon as An arrived in front of Li Yan, Po Tong knelt down and kowtowed: "An has seen the young master, thank you for the great grace of the young master." ”

It seems that Li Dou had already explained to him before he came, so he called Li Yan the young master, not the master. Li Yan nodded and said, "Don't be so polite, you are now a member of the Carlin family, you should save you, stand up and talk back." ”

An kowtowed again and said, "Young Master Xie." After speaking, he stood up, but he still half-bowed, lowered his head, and didn't dare to look at Li Yan.

Li Yan couldn't help frowning when he saw An's appearance, he didn't like people to treat him like this, this whole thing was a slave, he didn't like it. Li Yan shouted: "An, raise your head, you have to remember, you are now a member of the Kalin family, a commoner, if you go out to do anything in the future, it represents the face of our Kalin family, don't always bend over and look like a servant, that will make people look down on our Kalin family." ”

Seeing that Li Yan seemed to be angry, Li Dou and An both knelt down, and kowtowed to Li Yan at the same time: "Please punish the young master." ”

Li Yan was impatient, so he had to say: "Okay, stand up, don't kneel down at every turn." Seeing that both of them stood up, and An's waist was straightened a little, Li Yan continued: "An, let me ask you, do you know some stonemasonry's skills?" ”

An hurriedly said: "Yes, young master, my father is a stonemason, and I have also learned some stonemasonry skills, although I am not very proficient, but I still make ordinary things." ”

Li Yan nodded and said: "That's good, I'll draw two patterns in a while, you see if you can make it, if you can make it, immediately organize people to mine a few stones, and make what I want as soon as possible." ”

An's heart couldn't help but tighten, but he still bowed and said, "Yes, young master." ”
