I am a primitive

After all, this is not the future, and the grain of the future can be covered with a plastic sheet when it rains in the threshing field, and wait for the weather to clear.

Not now, not to mention the plastic sheet, not even the straw...

Once it rains, Han Cheng really can't think of any other way except rushing to transport some to the deer pen where Uncle Lu and the others live.

On the threshing field, a thick layer of rapeseed has been spread out, and under the sunlight in late spring and early summer, water is rapidly transpiring.

Han Cheng, who hadn't grown up yet, held a wooden fork in his hand and turned the rapeseed to dry. While turning it, he tried to loosen the rapeseed as much as possible, which was conducive to ventilation and accelerated water evaporation.

With his right hand in front and his left behind, Han Cheng inserted some rapeseed with a wooden fork, then lifted his right hand in front and close to the rapeseed a little bit harder, and pushed his left hand down at the same time, a lever that can be lifted even on the earth In principle, these rapeseeds are naturally easily forked.

Then, on the basis of this posture, tilt the top of the wooden fork slightly downward, shake it a few times continuously, and the rapeseed on the wooden fork will fall one after another, change a comfortable posture, and then enjoy sunbathing.

This kind of thing is not difficult for Han Cheng, who has been used to doing farm work since he was a child. Even though he has been a man for two lives now, it is still easy to turn the field with a wooden fork.

Wood and the others, who just started to get in touch with these things, felt uncomfortable. How to use this weird wooden stick is not easy to use, and it is not as fast as they can directly use their hands.

But Shenzi forbade them to do that, they had to use this kind of weird-looking stick to do these jobs.

Look at Shenzi not far away who is skillfully demonstrating with a strange stick called a "wooden fork" by Shenzi. While Mumu and the others are secretly amazed, they have to try their best to imitate Shenzi's appearance, which has never been done before. things you've come into contact with.

Han Cheng flipped around for a while, then turned around to look at the people who were clumsily using the wooden fork, struggling to turn over the rapeseed wood, etc. He couldn't help but sniffled, didn't he say, "Crop work, you don't need to learn, what else do you want us to do?" (two voices of Zhuo) 'Why do these guys learn so slowly?

This made Han Cheng, who wanted to teach them earlier, put the wooden fork aside, and find a shady place to relax, was very helpless.

Alas, I am a tired life. It is not easy to be a son of God and put on a layer of god's coat.

He sighed with some peace of mind like this, wiped the sweat from his forehead, dragged the wooden fork with one hand, and walked to the wooden group to teach hand in hand.

This wooden fork was specially made by Han Cheng to welcome the first batch of grain harvested by the Qingque tribe.

The structure of the wooden fork is very simple. It is a wooden stick with a diameter of about 1.5 centimeters and a length of [-] meters.

There is a distance of about twenty centimeters between the three sticks.

These three are called 'fork teeth' (I don't know if it's the word), the small wooden stick and the wooden handle are not straight, but the three of them have a certain arc, which is bent downward, with a depth of about ten centimeters After the arc, just then extended to the front.

And on the upper part where the three 'forks' meet, there is a small wooden stick about two or three centimeters long that protrudes upwards.

This is done to make it easier for the wooden fork to shovel enough rapeseed, and it can also prevent the rapeseed from slipping off.

When Han Cheng was a child in later generations, every year when the wheat season was approaching, many people would sell wooden forks on the street, as well as long-handled brooms, iron sickles, rakes, straw hats, whetstones, etc. These things related to busy farming.

The market at that time was probably the busiest except for the period before the Chinese New Year.

After all, every household has to go to the market to buy some things more or less.

Otherwise, it would not be easy to find a free time to go to the market after the wheat harvested.

Most of the wooden forks of later generations are made of mulberry wood. Those who specialize in the production of wooden forks generally have mulberry gardens. Of course, they are different from the mulberry gardens for silkworm rearing.

There are basically no big mulberry trees in the mulberry gardens that produce wooden forks, but only small mulberry trees.

Cut off the roots of the mulberry tree in the first year, and many shoots will emerge in the second spring.

After the shoots are normal, one or two straight and strong ones will be selected from the top of the plant, and the rest will be cut off from the root.

When the remaining ones grow to a height of one or two meters, the head of the mulberry tree will be cut off from a place 1.5 meters above the ground.

After the head is cut off, after a period of time, new branches will emerge from here, and of course there is not one branch.

After the new branch grows a bit, the rest will be removed, leaving only three branches at about the same distance.

After a long period of time, the three wooden strips that are about to become 'forks' began to be transformed, and they were pinched out to the required arc and fixed. After a long period of time, they will maintain this posture. Will change back again.

In this process, a small piece of wood with a suitable position will be selected to stay, which is the small wooden peg at the intersection of the three 'fork tines' at the top of the wooden fork.

When the mulberry forks are almost grown, they will be cut down.

Before they are dry, burn them in the fire with their skins, and take this opportunity to rest the imperfect parts. After the mulberry wood cools down, the shape you made before will be completely fixed. There will be more changes.

Then peel off the bark, rest it with an axe, plane and other tools, and a wooden fork will come out.

Han Cheng hasn't been here for a long time, and he didn't think about making wooden forks before. He didn't think about it until the rape blossoms fell.

It is obviously impossible to make a wooden fork like that of later generations.

Fortunately, there were a lot of trees in the primitive era, and after a lot of searching, he finally managed to find some worthwhile ones.

After chopping down with difficulty with a stone axe, he took it to the outside of the tribe's wall, raised a fire, and called for help from the lame who was burning mortise holes on the wooden pillars to make wooden ladders.

After burning it with fire, start to transform the stick into the direction of the wooden fork.

Although the quality of the wooden fork produced in the end is not very good, and it is slightly better than the defective products of later generations, it is still usable.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The manufacture of wooden forks is necessary because it can be used in many places in agricultural labor.

For example, 'turning the field', 'starting the field', stacking rape stalks or other hay, etc., it will be easier and more convenient to have a wooden fork.

It is worth mentioning that when Han Cheng, accompanied by senior brother and Tietou, was looking for suitable talents to be wooden forks in the nearby woods, he found the mulberry tree by accident.

This mulberry tree is not much different from the mulberry trees of later generations.

This unexpected discovery made Han Cheng ecstatic, not because he had found a material suitable for making a wooden fork, but because he remembered something that was almost bound together with Mulberry - silkworms!

Han Cheng has never thought of that small, deeply imprinted bug on the Chinese nation as so cute as he does now.

He was fed up with farting and airtight leather pants, so eager to have a thoughtful thing made of cloth.

This kind of obsession is something that no one in this era can understand!

In fact, for more than a year, Han Cheng has also been looking for traces of hemp, but unfortunately he did not find the wild hemp that grows everywhere in later generations. Apart from being sad, he can only continue to endure it, which makes him hate it deeply. leather pants.

After Han Cheng discovered the mulberry tree and thought of silkworms and pants made of silk, the enthusiasm that Han Cheng burst out of is amazing.

At least the senior brother, Tietou and others who followed were very surprised.

Han Cheng, who usually doesn't climb trees fast, is nimble like a monkey this time. He climbed up the tree a few times, climbed the branches and kept looking between the branches and leaves, trying to find a mulberry tree with a gap. Ye, and the kind of bug that makes people feel pitiful at first sight.

It's a pity that God gave him a false joy. He searched for it for a long time, but he didn't find any trace of silkworm.

Not reconciled, Han Cheng slipped down the tree, bent over and searched the dead branches and leaves on the ground inch by inch, hoping to find some silkworm droppings.

If you eat it, you have to pull it. There are branches and leaves blocking your eyes, so you can't see clearly. It is far less reliable than looking for silkworm excrement on the ground.
