Rebirth before the doomsday: I quietly emptied the city of supplies

This is definitely not an easy task...

The main reason was that their tools were too poor. Chen Yu had thought of many ways, but the results were not very obvious, and he had to use brute force in the end.

"Well...I'm so tired!"

After bringing the last load of wheat to the shelter, Chen Yu finally couldn't bear it anymore. He rubbed his shoulders, which were red and bleeding...

Even though he was wearing a straw hat he had woven himself while working, his neck was still a little red from the sun. "Chen Yu... these wheats should be enough for us to last a year, right?"

Ling Qing looked at the haystacks outside the shelter that were almost as high as a hill, and asked weakly. If she continued to work like this, she would really die of exhaustion!

"Well, that's enough. The hardest work is over!"

"As long as we grind all the grains into flour, there will be no problem sustaining it for a year." Lin Mo nodded and said.

To be honest, thinking about that wheat field now makes him want to vomit. It is too tiring...

Although the wheat has been taken to the shelter, it is definitely not an easy task to turn it into noodles. It still requires a very tedious process….

Moreover, you may need to make a stone mill for grinding flour.

"Okay, take a break. After a good rest, we will start new work again..." Chen Yu patted Ling Qing's shoulder and said weakly.

These few days were also a great test for his physical fitness, and thinking about the next work still made him feel upset... "Yeah, I don't even want to eat today!"

Ling Qing nodded. As long as he wasn't cutting wheat, he could do anything. "Okay, let's eat together in the evening!" To be honest, Chen Yu was exhausted these days.

Now I not only don’t want to cook, I don’t even feel like eating.

After they entered the room, they fell asleep on the bed...

……

When I woke up, it was already around 4 or 5 in the afternoon! "Oh my god, I slept too long!"

Chen Yu walked out of the room and looked at the sundial. It was almost five o'clock... Ling Qing was also woken up by Chen Yu's movement. "Wow... It's so comfortable to take a nap."

"Chen Yu, you said we have a new mission to do, what is it?" Ling Qing stretched and looked at Chen Yu and asked. After a good sleep, I feel more energetic..

"Our job tonight and tomorrow is to build a granary as much as possible to store wheat. It doesn't need to be too big, just enough to hold about 300 kilograms of grain!"

"This task is now assigned to you. You must complete it in two days at most..." Chen Yu assigned it seriously!

Because if they don't thresh the grain and dry it quickly, it will easily rot or sprout if left in a dry place. "Yeah, I know!"

Ling Qing nodded seriously. She was also very clear about Chen Yu's considerations.

If the wheat is not harvested within the stipulated time and sprouts, all their labor over the past few days will be wasted... This is absolutely not allowed.

"In the next few days, I will first make the push mill, and then build a bigger earthen kiln to burn the millstone." "After these are almost done, we can harvest the grain..."

Chen Yu planned to make a push mill, because it was relatively small and easier to make, so he could still make it himself. If it was a stone mill, it would require a very large stone millstone and grinding wheel, which he couldn't get in such a place. So he could only make a push mill, which was relatively easier to make!

The push mill has existed since the Han Dynasty, and it was upgraded and improved in the Western Jin Dynasty, so the water mill was created. The push mill that Chen Yu wants to make now was basically used in many rural areas a few decades ago. Even now, there are still such stone mills in many remote rural courtyards, but people nowadays don't use them much... The structure of the push mill is quite simple:

It is made of two large round stone wheels, thin on top and thick on the bottom, which are hooked together. There is a column in the middle, with the upper wheel being the male wheel and the column center being the circle.

The upper part of the whole circle is a protruding grinding wheel with a red groove about one centimeter lower than the entire circle. The mutual back and forth pressure of the upper red groove and the lower groove form a combined force to form what we call a grinding wheel.

"I really didn't expect that in this era, I still have to try to push a mill." Chen Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly with some helplessness.

Hundreds of years ago, people used donkeys, cows and other animals to grind mills! "Forget it, it's also an experience of life..." Chen Yu could only comfort himself in this way.

After all, even if I complain all day long, no one will help me. So it is better to be optimistic than to be pessimistic!

"It's still early, I'll go and fetch some clay. You close the fence, I'll be back in about half an hour." It's only five o'clock now, I can go and fetch some clay before it gets dark. I'll burn the big stone wheel for the mill!

Chen Yu himself knew very well that there was still a big gap between fired pottery and real stone.

But given their current conditions, being able to work hard is already pretty good, so there is no need to think about how well they can do! "Well... okay then! Come back early..." Ling Qing hesitated for a moment, thinking that he still had to build a granary, so he could only nod and agree!

Besides, it's not dark yet, and there are no strange noises, so I'm not as scared as I was last night.

"Oh, I see!"

"Remember to close the guardrail tightly." Chen Yu emphasized again.

This is very important because the fence they have renovated now can definitely keep out some large animals! So as long as the fence is closed, there won't be much danger.

"Uh-huh!"

Ling Qing nodded, and began to split the bamboo into thin strips with his saber. He began to weave the granary…

When Chen Yu walked near the clay, he suddenly saw a very familiar voice. The whole body was covered with black hair, and there was a white mark on the chest, which seemed to be foraging on the ground!

"Dog...bear?"

"How...How is it possible? Why is that guy here?"

The moment Chen Yu saw the bear, his pupils suddenly shrank and he quickly squatted down. This time, he was in a hurry and had to carry a military shovel, so he didn't take a bow and arrow.

So now I can only hide for a while.

Fortunately, the hearing, vision and perception of bears are almost the worst among animals. Sometimes bears will not notice the existence of people until they walk directly in front of people. And now Chen Yu is a full 200 meters away from the bear. It is absolutely impossible for it to notice Chen Yu... "It seems that we can't get soil from here!" "I'd better go look for it somewhere else!"

Chen Yu hesitated for a moment, then gave up the previous piece of clay.
