As soon as he received the report from the Li County Order of Meiling County, the prefect immediately sent him over.

Lord Xu nodded, "If you can thresh directly in the field, you can indeed save a lot of effort!" ”

At this time, the Liu family had already begun to harvest, and the wheat was directly cut and placed neatly on the ground, and it was not tied into bundles of straw as before.

Mrs. Liu took her daughter-in-law to cut wheat in front, and Old Man Liu took Liu Zhijiang to pick up a handful of wheat and throw it in, and pressed the pedal hard with his right foot, and the roller inside would run quickly, driving these wheat and wheat stalks to rotate quickly and collide in it......

Then I heard a clattering sound falling into the wooden box below.

Open the plank on the side, and the wheat stalks come out of it.

Old man Liu hurriedly squatted on the ground and carefully checked whether all the wheat grains on the ears of wheat had fallen!

Not only did Old Man Liu squat and watch, but Master Li and Master Xu couldn't wait to squat down and look for it in this pile of wheat stalks.

Old man Liu's wheat itself is particularly easy to thresh, and now after putting it in, it can thresh all the full grains of wheat in it twice, and it is even more thorough and clean than they put on the threshing floor with a stone mill.

Old man Liu said loudly: "Continue to threshing ......"

When Liu Zhijiang heard this, he quickly picked up a large handful of wheat and put it in, covered the wooden board on the side, and stepped on it with both feet......

After five consecutive such tests, it was proved that the threshing effect was particularly good.

Liu Zhijiang sped up the speed, and the threshing effect was also very good.

Only three people can cut wheat to meet the threshing speed of a thresher.

A person can harvest one acre of wheat a day, then this thresher can thresh three acres a day.

Mr. Li and Mr. Xu are not too hot, and they have been watching the thresher work in the field, and then often check whether there are any wheat grains in these wheat stalks.

They were pleasantly surprised by the fact that there were no grains in the straw and it was very clean.

After the wheat is threshed, there is occasionally a thin layer of covering on it, but this thing will fall off automatically when it is turned over on the threshing floor.

The grain is packed in sacks and then transported to the threshing floor.

The straw was still a little damp, so it was spread out in the ground to dry.

Liu Zhijiang and Liu Zhihe operated the grain tractor, and the others cut the wheat.

When the amount of wheat increased, Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang transported the wheat to the threshing floor to dry.

Liu Yiyi watched the field over there alone, using a wooden shovel to spread the wheat evenly, thinly, and fully sun-dried.

Liu Yiyi was wearing a big hat, her face was also covered with a cloth, and her body was also tightly covered.

Every half hour, she would turn over all the grains in the threshing floor with a wooden shovel, and at the same time drive away the little sparrows that were stealing the grain.

Their family has 50 acres of land, and if they don't hire long-term workers, even if they have a threshing machine, it will take seven or eight days to finish.

Now that there is an idle thresher at home, it is necessary to hire more people to highlight the efficiency of the threshing machine.

So Old Man Liu waved his hand and directly hired ten short-term workers.

Give 30 yuan a day, including food.

With the addition of these ten people, the Liu family built four threshers and began to thresh. The other one was borrowed by the patriarch's family.

This time, Liu Chengpeng was honest, directly said to rent, and gave a deposit of one or two silver.

The remaining four threshers were brought back by Master Li and Lord Xu alone.

The entire Liujia Village was buzzing and lively because of the threshing machine of Liu Yiyi's family.

Many people came to see it and were very envious.

Their family hired 10 long-term workers for four threshers, plus their own family, and it took them all three days to harvest all 50 acres of land.

After three days of exposure, the wheat that had been threshed earlier had dried out and was bagged and put into the warehouse.

The people of Liujia Village saw that Liu Yiyi's busy farming time had been greatly shortened, and they came to rent a thresher at home.

It just so happened that Liu Erlang also wanted to test the strength of the threshing machine.

The rent of 50 wen per acre of land is also willing to be rented by the people in the village.

Ryujiro has been following these moulders, recording various data and conducting inspections.

There were indeed some minor problems, but Liu Erlang was able to fix them quickly.

After these problems are improved, they basically do not appear again, and the structure of the threshing machine is further improved.

When all the wheat in the village was harvested, Liu Erlang transported all six harvesters to his home and carefully inspected them again.

Especially the bearings inside, he had to disassemble the machine to be able to see it.

Seeing the different degrees of wear and tear inside, record all kinds of data, so that when making the second-generation thresher, you can avoid these problems and do better.

The most expensive thing about this threshing machine is the bearings inside, and the rest of the place is made of wood and ropes, and the cost is only about one or two silver.

A threshing machine is used carefully, can be used for several years, and is also very cost-effective.

After all, when the autumn harvest comes, time is urgent. The earlier the particles are returned to the warehouse, the earlier the guarantee can be made. The most important thing is to be able to save effort.

Patriarch Liu cleaned up over there, and when he was a little free, he ran over and asked how much this threshing machine was.

After the Liu family discussed, they finally decided to sell it for two taels and five dollars.

If the materials are sufficient, you can make two in a day.

Liu Yiyi suggested, "Second brother, in fact, you can specialize in the most difficult part of it, and it is best to make it into a form that is not easy for others to imitate."

Then take those boxes, shells and other wood products, give them to other people to make, and finally assemble them together. In this way, you can do a lot in a day! ”

Since the second brother will take the technical route in the future, he will do difficult work. As for the ones that are simple and don't have much technical content, then leave it to someone else to do.

Liu Erlang thought for a while and nodded, "In this way, I can make four planes a day, and one earns five dollars of silver, and I can earn six taels a day." ”

Hearing this, Liu Yiyi was very excited, "Also, now the farming is over." The eldest brother, father, second uncle, and third uncle are also idle.

If there are some things that are inconvenient for outsiders to know, you can let your family do them, so can you do more in a day?

Liu Erlang's eyes lit up, "Yes, I only make the most critical bearings, and then let Daddy, Big Brother, assemble, and ten crosses can be done that day."

In addition, this thing, it is not difficult to say, and someone will imitate it soon, so it is best to spread it out as soon as possible.

At least the business in Meiling County is done by our family. As for the outside, it is estimated that with the power of our family, it will not work. ”

Hearing this, Liu Yiyi nodded, "Yes, second brother, you are right, our family is not strong. If people in other places are willing to pay for drawings, then we can sell them directly, and it is much better than others to learn them directly, and not give a penny. ”
