Chapter 22

There is not much in the book, but in the chapter on agriculture it talks about a farming implement, the zigzag plow.

Quyuan plough is a tool used by ancient farmers to plough the ground, a kind of animal plow, for Jiang Yan, the appearance of Quyuan plough will save a lot of effort, but it needs Zhao Dabai to pull in front.

Looking at the pattern on the book, Gao Chou tried his best to digest the knowledge, and he did not have any knowledge base, so he worked extra hard at the moment.

"Oh, that's right..."

With the contents of the book in mind, I searched for tools that could be made, and it took a lot of wood to make a curved plow, and even some of it needed to be finely cut.

But fortunately, there are not many parts in the whole curved plow, and if the materials are sufficient, it only takes three days to make a rough curved plow.

Glancing around, Gao Chou regretted that there were no materials that could be used, and his lost gaze kept scanning, and Gao Chou set his eyes on Jiang Yan's body.

"Jiang Yan, do you have wood here, I want to make a curved plow!"

Hearing Gao Chou's voice, Jiang Yan stopped the steel fork in his hand and turned around, hearing the words in Gao Chou's mouth, he held the steel fork and shouted.

"What's that?"

"Quyuan plow!"

"What's that?"

Although he bought several sets of the three major books of doomsday, Jiang Yan did not read much, and even the knowledge about agriculture only stayed in the memory of his parents' labor when he was a child.

Jiang Yan has never heard of the term Quyuan plough from his parents.

"It is a tool used to plow the ground and turn the soil, the front is pulled by an ox, and the back is supported by the hand!"

"Ahh Ploughshares! You said that it would be nice if the ploughshare was not good! What do you say, who knows what it is? ”

Hearing Gao Chou's explanation, Jiang Yan instantly understood, and after a futile defense, Jiang Yan put down the farm tools and sat next to Gao Chou.

Hearing that Gao Chou was going to make a quyuan plow, Jiang Yan took the book and read it carefully, and after reading, Jiang Yan set his eyes on Zhao Dabai, who was smashing clods of soil in the vegetable field.

"You expect it to plow?"

Looking at Gao Chou suspiciously, Jiang Yan's tone was full of incredulity.

Zhao Dabai is lazy to eat, no one knows better than Jiang Yan, although its loyalty is more reliable, but in terms of labor, Zhao Dabai is simply lazy like his own before his death.

"There are no cattle at home, and he is the one with the most strength." Feeling Jiang Yan's questioning, Gao Chou scratched his head in embarrassment.

Looking at the vegetable garden in front of him, Jiang Yan thought about the feasibility, if he could really use the Quyuan plow, the vegetable garden in front of him could be ploughed in one day, even if the vegetable field was as big as the backyard, it would be almost done in two days.

But if you rely on your own hands, you may not be able to finish it in half a month.

"What materials do you need?"

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan turned his head to look at Gao Chou, sharpening the knife and cutting wood, if he can make a quyuan plow, at most a week, these fields at home can be planted.

"It's all wood, but the plowshares must be of iron, otherwise they will break."

Picking up the book, Gao Chou explained it to Jiang Yan, and remembering the shapes in the picture in his mind, Jiang Yan thought about the tools he could use at home.

The stored wood is rotten, but there are many trees around, and if you cut down the trees, a maximum of two will be enough.

As for the iron plowshare, ginger smoke can completely put a layer of iron sheet on the outer bread of the wood, which is not only lighter, but also not too practical.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan said he would do it, and when he walked into the house, Jiang Yan took out a chainsaw, swept his eyes over several big trees around the house, and ran straight towards one of them.

"Zhao Dabai, help me!"

Because no one took care of it, the big trees at the door grew extremely thick, and the width was even about the same as Jiang Yan's body, and although the iron saw stored at home was rusty, the blade was still very sharp, and it was not much different to use.

prompted Zhao Dabai to bite the handle, Jiang Yan aimed at the trunk and pulled hard, and with the cooperation of one man and one beast, the saw blade was also sawed into the trunk.

"Quack!"

Sawdust flew sideways, and the tree several meters tall made a sore sound, sensing that the tree was about to fall, Jiang Yan hurriedly asked Zhao Dabai to run aside, and he instantly pulled out the saw blade.

"Boom!"

The big tree collapsed violently, looking at the trunk that fell to the ground, Jiang Yan took out a handsaw to cut off all the thin branches, and then took out a thick iron chain and tied it to Zhao Dabai's shoulder.

"Help me get to the yard." patted Zhao Dabai's broad shoulder, Jiang Yan said pleased.

Looking at the trunk behind him in disbelief, which was several times larger than himself, Zhao Dabai gritted his teeth and dragged the trunk to the courtyard with all his strength.

"For such a big tree, I guess one is enough!"

Gao Chou in the distance staggered closer, measured the size, and looked at Jiang Yan with a surprised face.

Loosening Zhao Dabai's chains, Jiang Yan patted Zhao Dabai's head with relief, but the latter was so tired that he collapsed at the moment, ignored Jiang Yan's comfort, walked to the side in three or two steps, and lay on the ground gasping for breath.

The busy two didn't pay attention to Zhao Dabai on the side, Jiang Yan took out all kinds of tools from the storage room, and then divided the big tree in front of him according to the description in the book.

The small branches were left by the ginger smoke as firewood, and the main trunk was cut by the ginger smoke with two wide round piers, one was used to be placed next to the well as a stool, and the other was left by the ginger smoke as a base for chopping wood.

Peeling off the bark, Jiang Yan took out a pencil to draw marker lines on the trunk, then took out the chainsaw and began to cut the wood needed for sawing according to the scale mark.

Looking at the busy Jiang Yan, Gao Chou picked up a handsaw, although the bone crack in his right arm had not healed, his left hand could still be used.

"Crunch!"

The two of them were covered in scattered sawdust, and the trunk in front of them changed from a behemoth at the beginning, to several paragraphs, and then it was divided into long boards, and then the two sawed out the wood they needed.

After all this, Jiang Yan and the others were also drowned in sawdust.

Standing up tiredly, Jiang Yan kicked the sawdust all over the ground, these are excellent ignition resources, and even collect them, which can also be used to cultivate mushrooms, or piled up in front of the window for winter insulation.

As the sun gradually set, Jiang Yan picked up a wooden board and stood on the wall, then turned out his bow and arrow from the storage room and began to practice archery for a day.

Gao Chou on the side watched Jiang Yan training in a daze, and after a while, he came back to his senses and picked up the broom on the side to collect the sawdust on the ground.

The 50-meter target was too difficult for Jiang Yan, the hit rate was only 20 to 1, and after an hour of practice, the sky gradually darkened.

After putting away the bow and arrows, Jiang Yan suddenly found that Gao Chou had actually made dinner.

However, it is boiled corn in plain water.

After a tiring day, Jiang Yan's appetite was very good, and after eating dinner haphazardly, Jiang Yan went into the house and fell asleep.

The sun rose early, and with Jiang Yan in the storage room, he opened his worried eyes, and Jiang Yan raised his sour arm and walked out of the door.

Gao Chou in the bedroom has long been awakened, and at the moment he is holding a handsaw and constantly cutting on the board.

"I took a look, and I can probably make a curved plow today."

Sensing that Jiang Yan had gotten up, Gao Chou raised his head, his clear eyes full of excitement.
