By the time Lin Yan sat down at the table, it was already an hour later, and it was noon, and the people who came to eat walked into the courtyard one after another.

Seeing Lin Yan, everyone came up to talk to her and asked about road construction.

Lin Yan smiled and told everyone about the interesting things on the road, and the atmosphere was very lively for a while.

Shi Qiang walked in at this time, and hurriedly said without waiting for an order: "I just walked from the gate of the official courtyard and saw a new notice. ”

Someone hurriedly answered: "What are you talking about?" ”

People were immediately attracted by Shi Qiang, and Lin Yan also looked over curiously, wondering what notice had been issued by the Public Affairs Court.

Shi Qiang also didn't sell Guanzi, "Two things, name the newly repaired road Mine Road." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone said: "Good name, as soon as you hear it, you know that you are going to the mine." ”

"What's the other thing?" Someone asked anxiously.

"There are houses to be built in the mine, and the iron factory is cultivated, and people need to be recruited, so from today onwards, you can go to Minglan to sign up."

"It's a good thing, I'm going to make money again."

"Yes, you can also go to the mine to see, do you earn more money by working in the mine?"

Shi Qiang shook his head, "I don't know the specifics, let's go to Minglan and ask after eating." ”

After waiting for everyone to finish eating and leaving in a hurry, Lin Yan was also full, thinking that the efficiency of the arbitral tribunal was very high, and the follow-up matters were arranged so quickly.

Minglan is in charge of the mine, and it seems that the material department is going to be busy. Blue Moon should be busy too.

Now the management mechanism is becoming more and more perfect, and the division of labor in various departments is becoming more and more clear.

Jin Zai carried a sack of wheat ears to thresh, Hua Hong was busy in the kitchen alone, Lin Yan walked over and said, "Auntie, how is this year's wheat harvest?" ”

"Very good, I planted thirteen acres of land this year, which is more than last year." Bonus gestured to the stacks of wheat in the yard, "Those are the ones who haven't had time to cut the ears yet." ”

Looking at the six stacks of wheat stalks, Lin Yan felt that threshing with a stone mill was still too slow. Thinking of the situation of using stone wheels to crush the road surface this time, she thought she could give it a try.

So she said: "A-Niang, let's spread out the wheat stacks, spread them in the yard, dry them first, and I'll go find the stone wheel." ”

"What do you want to do?" Bonus asked hurriedly. Wheat is the most important food to eat, and it should not be wasted.

"Spread out the wheat stalks and roll them on top with a stone reel, which has the same effect as a stone mill, and it is faster to do so."

Bonus was skeptical, "Can it really work?" ”

"Absolutely. A-Niang cleared the yard first, and I went to find Shi Yulu. ”

Shi Yulu was placed in the material department, and he asked Mao Mu and Lin Yun to help and pulled it back with a frame car.

At that time, when rolling the road, it was pulled by people, and the wheels were not particularly heavy, about 50 catties, cylindrical shape, and there were wooden handles with ropes on both sides.

Mao Mu volunteered to pull up the stone wheel and circle around the wheat stalks.

There are other sundries in the yard, which can only be spread out a dozen square meters, and as the wool wood moves, the wheat stalks that have just been supported are getting thinner and thinner.

Lin Yan flipped it over and looked at it, there were already wheat grains underneath, and said happily: "It's really possible." After a few turns, we turn the straw and then grind it, and we can grind all the wheat grains down a few more times. ”

Hua Bonus also squatted down and looked at it, "It's really okay." This is a good method, and a large pile of wheat stalks can be threshed quickly. ”

"It's a lot faster. At that time, it was still limited to think of threshing with a mill. Lin Yan sighed, he couldn't afford to hurt his knowledge blind spots.

Mao Mu laughed and said, "When I go back, I will make more stone wheels, and every household can use them." It's easier and less hassle-free to make than a mill. ”

Lin Yun looked at the wooden fork and turned over the wheat stalks, shook them a few times, the wheat grains fell down and separated from the wheat stalks, and looked at the thick layer of wheat grains and wheat stalk leaves mixed together.

He said: "This threshing is fast, but it is not easy to clean the wheat grains. ”

Lin Yun smiled: "It's easy, I'll show you how to do it later." ”

Two hours later, the wheat straw was finished, and the bottom layer was swept together, and Lin Yan found a shovel for Lin Yun.

"What for?" Lin Yun asked puzzledly, looked at the shovel in his hand, and then looked at the pile of unclean wheat grains, I don't know why.

Lin Yan pointed to the open space that was swept in front of him, "The weather is good today, there is wind, you shovel up the wheat and raise it, the wind will naturally blow away the light debris, try it quickly." ”

Mao Mu's eyes lit up, "I didn't think of this good way." I was still wondering if I should use a dustpan to clean up the debris. It's such a big pile, I don't know when I'll get it clean. ”

Lin Yun was also stunned, he didn't expect it to be like this, he was stunned, and immediately shoveled it up and raised it into the air.

Seeing the fluttering wheat stalks and leaves blown aside by the wind, and the wheat grains left in the middle to fall, Lin Yun knew that this method was very good.

Hua Hong's mouth grew in shock, she never expected to do this.

"With this good method, how can you still cut ears of wheat? Pull the straw back from the ground and dry it to grind. ”

Mao Mu smiled: "It's not, it's still Lin Yan who is smart enough to think of such a good way." We'll teach it to others right away. Such a good way has been learned, and the wheat in the city will soon be threshed. ”

Lin Yun seemed to be bewitched, he couldn't stop picking up the shovel, he raised one shovel after another, and after a while, a wheat bag was piled up in front of him, and on both sides were debris blown out.

When Jin Tsai came back with the sack, he saw several people in the yard laughing and saying something, and he saw the pile of wheat for the first time.

"How, how did you do that?"

Hua Hong hurriedly explained the process, and finally said: "No need to wait in line for the stone mill to be used, this wheel is easy to use." I just learned how to raise wheat, and you can learn it too. We'll be able to do it ourselves tomorrow. ”

"That's how such a big pile of wheat is milled?" Jin Zai still couldn't believe it, he worked hard for hours to grind out half a bag, and they crushed a lot of it in the same time.

Hua Hong nodded, "The wheat is all here, you still don't believe it." ”

Seeing Jin Zai come back, Mao Mu and Lin Yun said goodbye, they wanted to promote the new method, and they had to do more stone wheels.

Lin Yan stopped the person and said, "Don't be in a hurry to leave, Lin Yun, when you just raised the wheat, was the shovel too heavy and more and more difficult?" ”

"Yes, I didn't think it at first, but I kept repeating it, and my arms became heavier and heavier." After Lin Yun finished speaking, he suddenly realized, "You want to reduce the weight of the shovel?" ”

"Almost, the shovel is still too heavy, and people can't stand it after a long time. It is better to change to wood, which is lighter. The style is similar, but it is made thinner. ”

Lin Yun nodded in understanding.

There were Mao Mu and Lin Yun, Lin Yan didn't go out of his way to tell people a new way, she helped put the wheat into a sack together, and it was dark.
