110 Mills

Hua Hong was always surrounded by people when she went out, begging her to help get some wheat seeds.

Lin Yan repeatedly emphasized that the wheat seeds must not be given out casually, and she can't hold back.

By the time Lin Yan put away the wheat seeds, it was already mid-September. The matter in the field was over for the time being, and she went to the laboratory.

went to Bai Chen's house first, but when the people were not there, Lin Yan went to Shi Zhi again.

"Are you done?" Seeing Lin Yan, Shi Zhi was stunned for a moment before asking.

Lin Yan nodded, "Well, the wheat seeds have been processed, so there is no need to work in the field. I'll come and see you, do you know where Bai Chen has gone?"

"I don't know. Everyone is busy, I'm doing what you said, I've made a sample, the small one, you came just in time, let's see the effect."

While the two were talking, Ye Cong came in, "Lin Yan, why are you here?"

"I'm done with the work in the field, come here to work." Lin Yan rolled his eyes, "What's all the fuss, it seems like I shouldn't be here."

Ye Cong hurriedly said, "It's so surprising to see you, whoever makes you keep not coming, we all have to forget you as a person."

"Blame me." Lin Yan pointed at himself, "I don't have a big deal to do, so I don't have time to come."

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense and get down to business." Shi Zhi walked towards the mill as he spoke, "Come and see, I peeled some hairy chestnuts and dried them, just to try the effect of the mill."

A cylindrical stone roller is fixed on a round stone plate with a wooden shelf, which looks very delicate.

Lin Yan stretched out his hand and touched it and praised, "Yes, this stone mill is made, and it will be convenient to thresh wheat in the future." When the grinding disc is made, you don't have to worry about making flour. Put the chestnuts on the grinding pan, and I'll push them."

Lin Yan pushed the rolling hard to rotate, and secretly rejoiced in his heart that he had been working hard for most of the year and had exercised it, otherwise he really couldn't push it.

Seeing that the stone mill rolled around, and the hairy chestnuts were pressed into flakes, Ye Cong picked up a piece and pinched it gently, and it became crumbs, "Not bad, as expected."

When Lin Yan turned around three times, all the chestnuts were crushed into small particles, and she said, "Shi Zhi, if you push a few more times, you should be able to grind them into powder."

Shi Zhi didn't say a word, rolled up his sleeves and pushed the mill to turn quickly.

In a short time, the hairy chestnuts became tiny crumbs.

Ye Cong brought the mesh sieve, and several people transferred the crumbs to the sieve together, and they got a finer hairy chestnut powder. The large pieces on the sieve are then placed on the mill and repeated.

After trying it, it was confirmed that the mill was very successful, Lin Yan looked at Shi Zhi and Ye Cong, "You two have very strong hands-on ability, and it will depend on you in the future."

"Of course, we're the smartest people." Ye Cong was happy, "However, it's still a little bit worse than you."

Shi Zhi didn't think so, "Lin Yan just knows a lot, and it doesn't prove that she's smart." He felt that he was the smartest man.

"You're right, I'm an innate advantage." Lin Yan agreed. From her observations, it was found that Shi Zhi had a high IQ and quick reactions, and was a good seedling.

When Bai Chen came back, several people were talking about how to make a grinding disc, and they wanted to make a sample before the cold season came, and they could make it bigger from next year.

….

Lin Yan looked up and saw Bai Chen, and said happily, "You are here, what are you doing here, covered in stains."

"I went to the paper workshop and changed the slurry ratio." Bai Chen was a little surprised when he saw Lin Yan, "Why are you here?"

Shi Zhi and Ye Cong laughed.

Bai Chen didn't know why.

Lin Yan glanced at them, "Ignore them. How many pieces of paper did the workshop make this year, and how much the pass rate could reach, have you counted it?"

Although it can be made of yellow paper, the yield is very low. It is very unstable, one batch can be half successful, and one batch is of poor quality, and these problems continue to lead to no paper.

Bai Chen plunged into the papermaking workshop and did it himself, but he couldn't control the whole process and couldn't guarantee the quality.

At the mention of this, Bai Chen pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "According to statistics, the pass rate is less than ten percent, and a total of 234 sheets have been made so far. At the beginning, the first batch of finished products had a high yield, and later they were not as good as that. I've been looking for a reason, but I haven't found it yet."

It was also the first batch of good quality, which gave Bai Chen enough confidence. Who would have thought that they would never be able to make such good paper again.

The reality made Bai Chen gradually realize that in order to have a more stable output, every link must be kept improving. She's been working on it, but she's not making much progress.

Lin Yan smiled, "Don't be discouraged, since we can make it, it must be possible, it's just that we haven't mastered the skill yet. Keep working hard and you will be able to do it."

Bai Chen nodded, "I won't give up."

She still remembers that Lin Yan's ambition in her heart was to use paper as the basis to print, make banknotes, spread knowledge, and so on.

"Alright, to treat you all, I've brought you something good, go and call everyone here."

Lin Yan picked up the small sack he brought and put it on the table.

"What is this?" Ye Cong said that he was about to reach out and open it.

"Go and call someone." Lin Yan slapped his hand away.

Ye Cong didn't care either, and ran to find someone.

Half an hour later, the eleven people in the laboratory gathered.

Lin Yun was pushing the mill, Shi Zhi and Bai Chen were passing through the sieve, and Lin Yan was bringing the fine flour to the basin.

Shui Sheng was the last to arrive, he was rooted in the official courtyard every day, and countless accounts needed to be counted by him, and he was busy and dizzy.

Seeing that everyone was busy, he said, "This is flour?"

Hua Min laughed, "Yes, you recognize it at a glance. This is the fruit of Lin Yan's labor for more than half a year, and he is here to reward us today. I can't wait."

"Me too, this flour looks delicate, and it shouldn't taste bad." Ye Cong said with a smile.

Everyone had smiles on their faces, and they could finally taste the flour that Lin Yan said.

Lin Yanle said, "Red Spirit has the most skillful hands and the best food, so she will make noodles for us today."

The pots and pans in the experiment are complete, and sometimes everyone is too busy to go home to eat, so they make do with it here.

Lin Yan brought seven or eight catties of wheat that could not be used as wheat seeds, just to enjoy it with them.

As the most trusted partner, you deserve special treatment.

Mao Mu replaced Lin Yun, pushed the mill with a brisk walk, and said happily: "Red Spirit, hurry up, just wait to eat."

Everyone else laughed.

It was said that Hongling did it, and everyone also took a hand, and an hour later, the hot noodles came out of the pot and poured hot oil, who could bear the taste. scrambling to pick up the bowl and put it in his mouth.

There are too many people, so they can only eat in turns.

Shi Zhi grabbed a bowl first, and after eating, he watched the people behind him eat it.

When they all ate the oily noodles, they all felt that one bowl of belly was not enough, and they wanted to have a few more bowls, but unfortunately there was not so much flour.

At this time, they all understood why Lin Yan was planting wheat in the ground.
