Chapter 23 "The Resentful Zhao Dabai"

After hastily washing, Jiang Yan picked up the corn prepared by Gao Chou and put it in his mouth.

Sitting on the side, Jiang Yan looked at Gao Chou in front of the wooden pile, with some appreciation in his eyes.

Although Gao Chou doesn't know much, he is better than having a flexible brain, and the knowledge in the book can be learned by him, which makes Jiang Yan, who grew up in a civilized society, a little surprised.

What's more, the latter's motor nerves are also very developed, and the long-term starvation has made the latter emaciated, but what is hidden under the clothes are the muscles with obvious lines.

"Not bad."

Appreciating Gao Chou's ability, Jiang Yan put down the corn cob in his hand, stretched out his hand and motioned for Zhao Dabai to come over, Jiang Yan picked up a wooden board and compared it.

Unlike scalpers, the Quyuan plough used for Zhao Dabai needs to be tailored to the lines of his back, otherwise it will not only hurt Zhao Dabai, but also break due to uneven force during use.

Handing the pencil to Gao Chou, Jiang Yan picked up the wooden board and erected it beside Zhao Dabai, and then pressed the line of Zhao Dabai's back and drew a curved trace.

“OK。”

When everything was ready, Jiang Yan picked up the handsaw and began to cut it drastically.

From the planks to the sticks, Jiang Yan didn't take too long, sandpaper was used to polish the burrs on the wood, Jiang Yan looked at the parts all over the ground, very pleased.

"The last one is missing." Gao Sorrow on the side said to the pattern on the book.

"What?"

"Plowshare."

Hearing these two words, Jiang Yan instantly reacted, at this moment, what was placed on the ground was only the main body of the wooden plow, but the key plow was not cut.

"This probably won't work with a saw blade." Looking at the pattern of the plowshare, Gao said seriously.

The ploughshare is not in the shape of a long strip, so the saw blade loses its utility in this respect, and the best way to make a spade plow is to take out the wood and plane one.

"I'll do it."

Looking at the arm in Gao Chou's hand, Jiang Yan picked up a wooden square and sat on the trunk.

No matter what shape is needed, it needs to be cut at first, and taking out a handsaw to cut out a rough shape, Jiang Yan walked into the storage room with the wooden blank.

In the storage room, there is a workbench that Jiang Yan bought, which not only has a retainer, but also a variety of tools.

After fixing the wooden billet, Jiang Yan took out a wooden knife and continued to cut and polish it on the plowshare.

Hearing the noise in the storage room, Gao Chou came back to his senses and walked to the stove to prepare lunch.

He didn't know how to cook, but he could still make boiled corn and boiled potatoes that didn't require hands.

The injuries on his body have healed a lot, except for the bones, the gunshot wound in the abdomen is now bleeding less.

Squatting down, Gao Chou threw the branch into the stove pit, and then picked up the lighter in the living room and lit the stove pit.

The curling green smoke continued to climb down the chimney, and Gao Chou picked up a basin of water, poured it into the pot, and put some potatoes in it.

After finishing these, Gao Chou sat back in the chair weakly, and his body needed to recover with a lot of energy, which made Gao Chou unable to work for too long, and the wound in his abdomen began to hurt, making fine beads of sweat appear on Gao Chou's forehead.

As the minutes ticked by, the food on the stove was cooked, and the sound of metal clashing could be heard in the storage room.

"It's done!"

The sudden sound made the sleepy Gao Sorrow wake up instantly, and looked at the storage room expectantly.

Carrying a metal plowshare, Jiang Yan walked out with excitement on his face, and seeing Gao Sorrow waiting for him on the side, Jiang Yan handed the plow to the latter.

"Let's see, it's not this shape."

Holding it in his hand, Gao Chou continued to compare it according to the picture, and after a while, his face was full of surprise, and the plow in his hand was exactly the same as in the picture.

"I nailed the wrapped iron sheet with rivets, as long as it doesn't touch the stone, it won't be a problem to use it for a few years!" Knocking on the metal part of the plowshare, Jiang Yan said proudly.

Satisfied, he put the plough aside, and pointed to the stove with sorrow, signaling that lunch was ready.

Looking at the steaming stove, Jiang Yan was a little surprised, Gao Chou was able to cook, and he didn't know what to cook.

The moment the lid of the pot was lifted, Jiang Yan's expectation instantly calmed down, and it turned out to be boiled corn and boiled potatoes.

Accompanied by the mustard that Jiang Yan took out of the basement, Jiang Yan swallowed the lunch into his stomach, and then as if he was not satisfied, he tore open the bag of the mustard and licked all the sauce into his mouth.

After eating hastily at lunch, Jiang Yan began to assemble the Quyuan plow with high sorrow, and with the assembly of one part after another, nearly an hour, the Quyuan plow was finally completed!

"Would you like to try it now?" Looking at the assembled Quyuan plow, Gao Sorrow on the side tentatively said.

Jiang Yan's eyes looked at Zhao Dabai, who was sleeping lazily on the side, and then nodded excitedly.

took out a thick nylon rope from the storage room, put Jiang Yan on the Quyuan plow, and then kicked Zhao Dabai on the side, and hung the other end of the rope on the latter's shoulder.

"Hey, help, turn the floor over." Looking at Zhao Dabai, who was dazed, Jiang Yan rubbed the latter's cheek.

Ignoring Zhao Dabai's reluctance, Jiang Yan took out a thick cotton pad and put it on Zhao Dabai's shoulder, the nylon rope will make Zhao Dabai painful, and it will be much better to pad some.

Sticking the ploughshare on the ground, Jiang Yan motioned for Zhao Dabai to move forward, and as Zhao Dabai took a step, the ground under him was instantly turned over.

"Wow! It's so easy! ”

Looking at Zhao Dabai in front of her, she didn't seem to have any strength, which made Jiang Yan very surprised, and she was still worried about whether she would be tired of Zhao Dabai.

And just like that, the floor ploughing project began!

The Quyuan plow was originally used for farming in paddy fields, and the use of land may make the service life of the Quyuan plow even lower, but Jiang Yan really has no choice, and she only knows this way of plowing the land at present.

In just an hour and a half, the land in the front yard was sorted out by Zhao Dabai, wiping the sweat on his forehead, Jiang Yan looked at the gradually setting sun, showing a satisfied expression.

"With this efficiency, you can turn over the land in the backyard the day after tomorrow."

As Jiang Yan said, with the appearance of Quyuan plow, Jiang Yan spent three days and finally finished sorting out the land in the backyard.

And Zhao Dabai, who had been tired for four days, looked at Gao Sorrow with deep resentment.

After ploughing the land, the next thing to do is to plant the seeds, the first batch of seeds have already germinated, if not planted quickly, these seeds will gradually die due to lack of nutrients.

Sensing this, Jiang Yan got up early today, held a few pots of vegetable seeds, and walked into the front yard.

These vegetable seeds were collected at the beginning of ginger smoke, and there are some common rural vegetables such as beans, tomatoes, and cucumbers.

Taking out the shovel, Jiang Yan dug a small pit, then buried the prepared seeds in the soil, then covered with a thin layer of soil, and then poured a little well water.

The location of the pit is planted with bamboo poles in advance, so that when the seedlings grow up, they can be directly wrapped around the bamboo poles.
