Siheyuan: I became a truck driver

Xiao Yun entered the space early, and he didn't care when Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu would return home.

After his experiments, the raw peanuts that Yan Bugui took home could sprout even without shells.

Xiao Yun immediately planted all the leftover peanuts into the soil, and also turned over a few more pieces of land to plant sweet potatoes.

But there was one thing that Xiao Yun could never figure out, and he didn't know why.

When he first started farming in space, he could still feel a little tired, but gradually he felt that growing crops in space became easier.

Thanks to the hoe in the wooden house, the process of turning the soil is now somewhat similar to the function of "One-click Planting".

Basically, the soil can be turned over with just a few swings, and there is no need to turn the soil over one hoe at a time as in reality.

Xiao Yun speculated that this was related to the number of crops in the space. The more crops there were, the easier and more convenient it would be, but there was no way to verify it.

At the same time, when Xiao Yun first entered the space, he carefully checked the surroundings and was sure that there was only an endless plain here.

But now, at some point, a silhouette of a forest appeared on the distant horizon.

From a distance, the forest seems to be quite large.

It didn’t look very far, but Xiao Yun didn’t plan to go forward to check.

After all, there is a saying that goes, "If you look at the mountain, you will die." Often, a place that seems not far away may be far away from what you expected.

This new discovery gave Xiao Yun some new ideas.

The more crops you plant, the easier it will be to work in the fields. A tree that originally took ten cuts to cut can now be cut in one cut with the same tools and force as the number of crops increases.

When the number of plant organisms reaches a certain level, a new type will open up.

For example, a forest environment is unlocked when the plant-to-animal ratio reaches ten to one.

From the current perspective, this space is likely to have the same function.

However, Xiao Yun did not dwell on it. After all, the forest was within the space and could not escape. Since it had already appeared, he would know the true function of the forest one day.

Eventually we will know why the forest appeared.

But Xiao Yun set a goal for himself, which is that in the future, when he enters the space, plants things, and raises creatures, he needs to check the changes in the space.

Of course, we also need to speed up the planting of new crops and raising new organisms in space.

In this way, if the space really evolves as he speculated, it will eventually become a huge ecosystem.

By then, the number of edible crops and organisms will reach an astonishing level.

It’s really exciting to think about it.

Putting aside the thoughts in his mind, Xiao Yun turned his attention to the crops that had already borne fruit.

He wants to try to use the fruits as seeds to see if they can grow again.

As expected, it works perfectly and the quality is no different from the original batch.

Originally, Xiao Yun didn't need to do this test, because he couldn't eat most of the crops.

Considering that in the future you might find a crop you like but only have a few seeds, it would be better to test it now and have peace of mind instead of worrying that the fruits will not bear fruit.

After finishing, Xiao Yun left the space with peace of mind.

Xiao Yun did not go to sleep immediately. Instead, he took advantage of the fact that everyone in the central courtyard was asleep and moved the millstone into the space.

He turned on the light, casually put on a cotton jacket, and went straight downstairs.

The stone mill was right at the door. Xiao Yun opened the door a crack, stuck his head out, and directly put the stone mill into the space.

After finishing, Xiao Yun quickly closed the door and got back into bed just as the cold wind was about to make him feel chilled.

Next is the highlight of tonight.

Harvest wheat and make flour!

As for the tools for harvesting wheat, Xiao Yun had prepared them long ago. After parting with Xu Damao at the flea market, he did not completely trust Xu Damao, so he went to another market to search for a stone mill.

No millstone was found in another market either, so they set their sights on the third uncle, Yan Bugui.

The table they brought back was also purchased in that market, along with farm tools for harvesting and processing wheat.

These include fine sieves, fine sieves, brooms made of sorghum seedlings, etc.

Of course, Xiao Yun could also choose to use a machine to grind the wheat into flour, but the problem was that there was no place to buy the machine.

In addition, even if we bought the machine, there was no electricity in the space, so we could only revert to the most primitive method.

Xiao Yun had thought it all out. He put the wheat ears directly on the millstone and started grinding them.

After the wheat kernels are separated from the husks, use a broom to sweep them into a fine sieve for filtering.

This process strips

In this way, white flour can be obtained easily and quickly.

They started to operate according to the planned plan, harvested the wheat ears, placed the ears on the stone millstone in controlled quantities, and then pushed the millstone immediately.

The wheat stems and husks fall off one by one, and after passing through the sieve several times, white flour emerges.

The white flour produced by one grinding is enough for Xiao Yun to eat alone, and it takes about ten minutes.

Xiao Yun carefully swept the flour into the cloth bag and looked it over to examine it.

With the help of the sieve, large pieces of debris are basically invisible, but there will still be tiny pieces of wheat husk fragments mixed in the white flour.

Here the husk fragments are usually smaller than the filter diameter of the fine sieve.

Fortunately, Xiao Yun didn't care. Compared with a few scraps, being able to eat white flour was already better than anything else.

Nowadays, there are very few families that can eat steamed buns made from two kinds of flour, let alone white flour. In the entire courtyard, only Xu Damao's family in the backyard can eat it regularly.

It was not because Xu Damao was capable and could get food coupons, but because of the help from the Lou family.

Lou Bancheng has only one daughter, Lou Xiao'e. Lou Xiao'e has never been accustomed to eating plain steamed bread, so the family can only help out.

For the Lou family, this is a very small matter.

As for the other people living in the courtyard, it was acceptable for them to work in a factory. At least they could occasionally buy steamed buns with unleavened dough in the canteen.

For residents who do not work in factories and whose family members do not have anyone working in factories, they will not be able to eat white flour once a year. This is no joke.

Many people can only eat white noodles during the Chinese New Year, which is the dumplings in the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Nowadays, people who can eat white flour have finally appeared in the courtyard.

Xiao Yun had thought it through. He could explain eating some meat if others asked him about it, but it was difficult to explain eating flour, so the grandfather and grandson had to eat it secretly.
