Taoyuan Farmhouse Daily

As soon as Chang Xile returned to the village, she went to talk to Li Zheng about it.Li Zheng stood up excitedly on the spot, said hello three times, but couldn't restrain the excitement on his face.These days, he was so anxious about the autumn tax that his mouth was blistering. Now that he can solve most of it, he feels relieved.Although it is only for a while, it also gives everyone a buffer time.

"Although there is no specific amount of food to be collected yet, I went to inquire and the accountant gave an approximate figure. This figure plus the salary of the past few months will allow us in Taoyuan Village to survive this crisis, but If you want to take care of other villages, it won’t work.”

After hearing this, Lizheng calmed down immediately, and sighed deeply, "This is something we can't do, we are too busy to take care of ourselves now. If you hadn't bit the bullet and begged, our village would not have such a good thing. I know You must be unhappy because of those gossips, and I ordered people to say it, but there are always some people who can’t control their mouths. You don’t have to take it too seriously, just have a clear conscience, don’t put everything on yourself shoulders."

Chang Xile didn't want to get entangled in such trivial matters. All he did was out of wanting to repay the original body and live a better life in this village in the future.But he knew that no one would believe him even if he explained it.

"I know. After the adults report the amount of food needed, you will be responsible for how to distribute the food to each family. I think we will send the white rice directly. You can also be an imperial envoy and be a good man. After all, this matter is completely sympathetic to us, and it must have caused him a lot of trouble."

The rice sold in the rice store here is all rice that has not been pounded, and you have to go home to pound the rice and remove the hulls.The same is true for the rice grain sent by the imperial court, and the same is true for tax collection.

Li Zheng was slightly stunned, because of his fixed thinking, he never thought of doing this at all.

Pounding rice is not an easy job, it is undoubtedly a convenience for the imperial envoys, and another form of reducing the price of rice.But labor in this world is worthless, even if it takes a little effort, it is better than selling grain at no price.

"It's better if you think about it carefully, and if you succeed, just do it like this. We can't take it for nothing if our lord gives us such a big convenience."

"After the autumn harvest, if the people in our village have spare men, they can all dig river channels. If there are enough people, maybe they can really tell the adults, they can bring their own dry food, and the court subsidizes money. In this way, some Grain can be sold indirectly, so that the big guys have a chance to breathe. Besides, there will be less work after the autumn harvest, and going there to earn some money can also lay a solid foundation for the spring tax."

"I'll discuss this with other Lizheng at that time, can this news get out?"

"Of course, the more mysterious the better, but it's best not to let others know that we spread the word."

Rizheng didn't quite understand, "What kind of statement is this?"

The corners of Chang Xile's mouth turned up, "Isn't the Qian family just relying on people's panic to keep down the price? If everyone knew that there was another way out, why would they rush to sell what they had? And the Qian family's biography It’s been a while since these news came out. I feel that while instigating everyone, I’m afraid that I’m also in a hurry to harvest. Otherwise, why not wait until after the autumn harvest, when the autumn tax will be collected, and everyone has no time to prepare money. Don’t you think more about it? How to sell?

Even if it's just to make it easier to do things when the time comes, since he got the news long ago and knows that our county can only sell grain from him, he must make preparations early.All the grain he collected was going to be sold, so he must have found a seller in advance to prevent hoarding of goods.Therefore, we can't just worry about it, but also let him worry about it. "

Li Zheng's eyes lit up immediately, and he slapped his thigh fiercely, "That's right! Why didn't I think of this, I just thought we were in a hurry to sell, forgetting that he didn't buy it for himself, but also for Sold! Although I have never done business, I also know that those of them who do big business are not short of money, so I remember to make a deal. I have contacted the buyers and sellers in advance. A ring."

"Yes, that's the reason. Their Qian family relies on Shangfa's family. In order to ensure the circulation of money, it must be arranged in advance. I chatted with the accountant today. Didn't he come from other places? He said that the house The price of rice in Daoxiang County is much higher than that in our Daoxiang County, and the price in Beijing is even more outrageous. It is doubled. One of the reasons why the imperial court wanted to build this canal was to transfer the rice grain from the south to the north. If the Qian family wants to earn more money, they need to shorten the circulation time of goods.”

Li Zheng's eyes widened. Few people in Taoyuan Village have ever left Taoyuan County, and some people have never even been to the county seat in their entire lives, so they don't know much about the situation outside.

"It's so expensive!"

"The Qian family is doing this price difference business. Although the cost of transportation is not low, the price of our grain is lower. My second brother asked those outsiders, and he said that he has never seen a food with a lower price than ours. And the cloth is even more so. Although our cloth has no pattern and no dyeing, but the material weaver is good, and it is very comfortable to wear, so this kind of cloth sells very well outside, and the price is not high. Low."

Lizheng was very angry when he heard this. The Qian family has been belittling the cloth here and so on. Especially when they compare it with the cloth outside, it makes people dare not make a fuss.

"The Qian family is so fucking good at fooling people!"

"It's also impossible. Isn't that what exclusive business is like. But now, we can follow the momentum of the imperial envoy and shock him. Let him not think that we all have to rely on him, and let him be afraid. "Chang Xile murmured a few more words into Lizheng's ear, and Lizheng's eyeballs almost popped out.

"This this……"

Li Zheng didn't know how to speak anymore. Why did Chang Xile become so clever after being ill? I didn't find so many ghost ideas before. Sometimes I even felt that reading was a bit dull. I was too honest. I didn't expect bad water. It's all hidden in the stomach.

Chang Xile just smiled, "Lizheng, there is nothing we can do. We can't let the Qian family take up all the hard work of our peasant family for nothing, can we? It's called being a soldier. If he succeeds, he will be even more arrogant in the future. Lizheng won't think that I'm too unkind, will he?"

Only then did Li Zheng come back to his senses, "How can it be, it's the Qian family who are unkind! I'm just worried that if the Qian family doesn't take the bait, what will happen if everyone is left behind?"

Chang Xile cautiously said: "If we want to say that this matter should not be decided by us, our village has an imperial envoy to collect grain, so there is basically no need to worry about the autumn tax. This is just to see that people in other villages are also squeezed by the Qian family. The family is just proud. After all, many people in our village have relatives-in-law with outsiders. They are all relatives after all, so they want to help. But whether they are happy or not is not up to us to make a decision. How they want to pass it on is their business, and we can't bear everything for them.

It's true and false here, even if the Qian family doesn't take the bait, they will be afraid, and they don't dare to suppress the price too much.Moreover, the county magistrate would also use this to know that the imperial envoys were watching, so it was expected that the Qian family would not let the Qian family do too much. "

Lizheng pondered for a moment, "This is indeed the reason. Chengli, I can probably know what you are thinking, so you don't have to worry about these things. I will discuss with Lizheng in other villages to see what the regulations are. When the time comes Whether it's the credit or the hammer, it's all on my head. No matter what, you are a scholar, and the important thing is your reputation. You should pretend you don't know about these things, and don't let it get your hands on it.

Chang Xile understood Lizheng's good intentions. After all, this was a gamble, and there were winners and losers. Besides, it was not very kind, Lizheng was also thinking of him.

"Then there is Uncle Laurie."

Lizheng waved his hand, "You kid, why are you being polite to uncle? Besides, you are doing it for the sake of the big guy. If it succeeds, it's nothing to do with you. I want to take credit, so how can I not take some risks?" .”

Not long after, news spread throughout Taoyuan County that the grain for the river digging site would be collected locally. In the future, all non-quota workers who went there to work there would have to bring their own dry food, and the imperial court would subsidize the money.I don't know where the news came from, but it spread quickly.The frowns of the worried farmers suddenly relaxed, and those who were anxious to sign a grain sales contract with the Qian family all changed their minds temporarily, wanting to wait and see what would happen.

When the news first spread, many people still didn't believe it. After all, there was no such statement before, and there was another wave of news that the food on the construction site was not decided by the imperial envoy, but issued directly by the court.Unexpectedly, the imperial envoy sent someone to Taoyuan Village to collect grain, and agreed to deliver the grain after the autumn harvest, but the price was actually a little higher than usual.

Now those who had made up their minds to sell the grain to the Qian family were not in a hurry to sign the contract, but those who had already signed the contract were very annoyed and felt very unwilling.Many people want to break the contract, but they have to pay compensation for breaking the contract, so they can only give up.However, because of such a commotion, more people believed that the imperial envoy would collect the grain, and they were less anxious to sell the grain to the Qian family. They all took a wait-and-see attitude.

Not only that, but a small cloth merchant also came to Taoyuan Village. He was very satisfied with the cloth from Daoxiang County, and even bought the cloth on the spot at a price that was [-]% higher than that of the Qian family.It's just that you don't get much at one time, but the price is very real.

Then it didn't take long for other villages to report that small traders from other places came to the village to collect rice, grain, cloth, etc. Although they didn't want much at one time, the price was good, and they said they wanted to do long-term business.

These news spread wildly, and many people went to Taoyuan Village to inquire about the news.

Taoyuan Village has a unified caliber to the outside world, the food has indeed been ordered by the imperial envoy, this year's tax is not worrying, and some of the cloth has indeed been sold, but the peddler doesn't buy much at a time, but he will come here often in the future.They are not in a hurry to sell the cloth they have hoarded. Now digging rivers is very profitable. At that time, the men in the family plan to dig rivers after the autumn harvest, and the women will do farm work at home, so they have no time to weave. Slowly waiting for the small traders to buy the cloth in their hands at a higher price.

Everyone thought it made sense when they heard this. Anyway, the cloth can’t be sold for much, and the imperial envoy gave generously the price of rice.There is no need to worry if you still have cloth in your hand, this thing is not afraid of being spoiled, and you can always wait until the small vendor collects what you have on hand, which is not much more cost-effective than selling it to the Qian family.

The originally bustling Qian's shop suddenly became deserted, and few people came to sell grain or cloth every day.

Now, the Qian family is in a hurry.

Indeed, as Chang Xile expected, the Qian family got the news of the tax reform, and immediately knew that there was a lot to be done.I found a buyer early on, and planned to keep the price of the collected cloth and grain to a minimum, and then sell it at a high price.At that time, not only would he be able to make a lot of money, but he would also be able to consolidate his position in Daoxiang County. Who would dare to provoke him then?As long as he grabbed their money bags, he would immediately submit.

I thought it was a certainty, but I didn't expect such a change!

The Qian family couldn't understand why the imperial envoys never interfered in local affairs, so why did they suddenly want to collect food locally?

The Qian family wanted to send someone to inquire, but the imperial envoy didn't even see the county magistrate, let alone other people.Qian went in to find the county magistrate, lost a lot of money but did not get a definite answer.I only know that the number of people who voluntarily dig rivers far exceeds the original budget, so there is no rush to collect food for a while.In this way, it is very likely to develop into the situation mentioned in the rumors.

This news has been spread outside for a long time, it is worthless at all!

The Qian family had no sources of news, and inquiries from the outside were almost unreliable, so they gradually began to feel restless.

For several days in a row, no one from the Qian family came to sell the cloth they had, and no one was as eager to sign a contract as before to sell the grain after the autumn harvest to the Qian family.That's not to mention, the side of the river digging has paid wages again, and there is no shortage of one piece, so that part of the tax money can be offset, which makes the farmers feel more confident.

Farmers in this world often do things with the village as the unit. Whenever there is any movement in the village, it is basically a collective action. Only a few sporadic misfits will make a difference, but this is very rare.Most villages are very united externally, no matter how noisy they are internally.The farmers showed no signs of selling grain, bad news kept coming from the construction site, and the county magistrate hinted that the autumn harvest should not be overdone.

Although a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake, the imperial envoy is from the capital and can reach the sky. Now that they have intervened, this is a warning to the local officials.Although the county magistrate was greedy, he was also very careful, knowing that if he did too much, the black hat on his head would be gone.So the attitude changed, the Qian family shouldn't go too far overtly and secretly, it's almost enough, otherwise he won't protect them if something goes wrong.

Under several times of pressure, the Qian family couldn't sit still.

"Brother-in-law, what should we do? If we don't receive the cloth and food, we will lose money!" Shopkeeper Wu wiped his sweat with an anxious expression on his face. If the Qian family's business loses money, although it will not affect the foundation , but that is also a great loss.

Qian Jin walked up and down the room, unable to suppress the fire in his heart.He was used to domineering in Daoxiang County, and he always had the final say, but he didn't expect that now he almost stumbled on his own territory.

"Let's just wait! If those mud legs don't sell food, where will they get the money to pay the autumn tax? At that time, they won't be able to sell it to me obediently. Even if they bring their own dry food to dig the river, how much money can they get that time? You can't wait for the autumn tax!"

Shopkeeper Wu was about to cry, "My brother-in-law too, if there were no imperial envoys from Beijing, we wouldn't have to worry about it. But now that there are envoys, the situation is different, we can't insist on it just because of this. "

It is true that the imperial court promulgated the tax system reform, but it did not change so arbitrarily as soon as it came, but it was more flexible, with a buffer time in the middle.That is to say, it is not only about paying taxes with money, but also paying taxes in kind, so as not to cause turmoil due to sudden changes in the method.

Daoxiang County has its own reasons for daring to make a one-size-fits-all plan. It is because of the inconvenience of transportation and the high cost.But after all, this is still a deviation from the regulations. If it is really revealed, it will be inappropriate after all.The county magistrate is not afraid of the local people poking it out, but he is afraid that the imperial envoy has something in his heart.

Qian Jin didn't know this truth, but he was unwilling to raise the price up, which would cost him a lot less money!

Shopkeeper Wu didn't know what he was thinking, and persuaded him: "Brother-in-law, you usually say that I am confused, but I can see how you are more confused than I am about this matter. The river channel doesn't have to be dug all the time. Can we keep relying on it? We have suffered a bit this time, and it is considered to be a face for the imperial envoy, but as long as he leaves, we will not let us handle those muddy legs?"

After hearing this, Qian Jin calmed down. Why didn't he know this truth, but when he heard that there was nothing wrong with Taoyuan Village, and life was getting better and better, he couldn't hold his breath.He had a clear memory of being humiliated in Taoyuan Village that day. If it wasn't for his son who was fed the ecstasy soup in his generation, he would have been unhappy with those muddy legs in Taoyuan Village.

"Think they are lucky this time! Put the price back, let's make sure that all the food can be recovered, this business cannot be delayed. There will be opportunities to clean up these mud legs in the future!"

The prices of grain and cloth gradually returned to their original levels after a battle without gunpowder. At this time, the unexpected villages in Taoyuan Village no longer had the wait-and-see attitude as before, and signed contracts with the Qian family one after another.Some things are almost done, and if they really hit it hard, it will only be the poor people like them who will suffer.

After being reminded by Chang Xile, when Taoyuan Village is asking people from other villages to sell grain, they have to work together as a single rope. They no longer do business with the Qian family on an individual basis, but on a village basis. Take it, or don't take it.People in other villages listened to the persuasion, and many villages even united to negotiate together. This also formed a threat to the Qian family, and they did not dare to lower the price too much.

The autumn harvest is finally here. This is the busiest and most exciting day for farmers.Many folks on the construction site came back to grab the harvest, and went to work after the autumn harvest.

The business of Chang's family didn't stop because of this, but only one person was sent from Dafang and Sifang to set up a stall, and Chang Xisheng and his wife were still in Sanfang.Because there are fewer people on the autumn harvest site, the business will be much worse.Therefore, although the reduction in manpower will be very busy, it will not be too busy.

The Chang family gathers together during the autumn harvest, and each family helps harvest it, and the advantage of the family's large population is reflected at this time.Although people with a small population will have other villagers to help, but they are all after their own work, and they must take care of themselves first. After all, it is not that convenient. The autumn harvest is a job that is a race against time.If the relationship with others is not good, there will be no one to help at all, and there will be no help at all. At this time, the importance of interpersonal relationship is also reflected.

During the autumn harvest, everyone gets up early and stays late, even Chang Xile is no exception.Although he doesn't have to do farm work, and he can't do it well, he still has to help get something to eat.Chang's family lost four laborers at once, and was busier than previous years, so they didn't care about so much.In addition, Chang Xile has often done things on the stove during this time, and everyone has gradually gotten used to it.

During the autumn harvest, farmers who originally only ate two meals will eat three meals to ensure physical strength.

After Chang Xile finished the meal, she led Chang Yu and the others to the field carrying heavy bamboo baskets. Although it was not the first day to deliver food, it still attracted everyone's attention.It just so happened that everyone started to rest one after another at this time, and they all saw him.

"Chang Xiucai, how can I bother you to do this kind of thing." Someone saw him and said, although the Chang family is basically used to it, but others still can't.Everyone thinks that Chang Xile is a character like Wen Quxing, how can he do such rough work.Even though Chang Xile no longer takes the scientific examination, she is a scholar after all, and other scholars would not bother to do such a thing.

Because Chang Xile has been working since he was a child, he looks thinner and more tender than the average farmer, and his demeanor is unusual. Everyone thinks it is weird to see him running around the fields with a bamboo basket in his shorts .

Chang Xile said with a smile: "Why can't I do it? Even if I get the number one scholar and become the prime minister, I'm from a mud-legged background. Besides, it's much easier for me than you, it's just a matter of effort."

The Chang family members were very tacit and didn't spread the news about Chang Xile being in charge of cooking. They all subconsciously felt that this matter would affect Chang Xile's image.

"If you want me to say that Chang Xiucai is a good official, he knows the suffering of our people, so he won't mess around." An old man said.

But as soon as the words came out, someone secretly pushed them. It's true that which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted. Isn't this poking people's hearts.

The old man was embarrassed, he couldn't keep his mouth shut at this age, but he wanted to apologize but he didn't know where to start.

Chang Xile didn't care, she greeted everyone with a smile, and continued walking to the field with a basket in her hand.

Chang Xiwang saw Chang Xile's group from a long distance away, and immediately put down what he was doing and ran over, while Chang's father scolded them directly behind.

"You bastard, just throw the sickle around and run away! What if someone accidentally steps on it, you haven't eaten in a few lifetimes, and if you see something to eat, you will run away desperately!"

There are other people in the other rooms here, and they burst into laughter when they heard Father Chang scolding the child like that.

Although Chang Xiwang was the eldest, he didn't feel ashamed, instead he yelled loudly, "I don't believe you guys didn't think about what to eat today, stop pretending, come here quickly, don't rely on me again when you're gone."

Uncle Chang beckoned and said, "Everyone, stop first, eat and rest for a while before continuing."

Now the big guys stopped what they were doing, and couldn't help but beat their backs when they stood up straight.I had to bend when I was cutting the rice, but now I can't stand up straight.It's only been two days of busy work, and the group of people is already much darker than before.Although it is autumn now, the autumn tiger is the most sun-drenched.But the big guys would rather be exposed to the sun and molt by the autumn tiger than rain now, otherwise the hard work of this year will be in vain.

"What's delicious today?"

"No matter what it is, it must taste very good. I have harvested rice for so many years, and this is the first time I feel so happy. I just wait for such a meal every day, and I feel that the tiredness is worth it."

"Isn't it? Thanks to Joy, our family will be able to live a solid year this year." Uncle Chang sighed sincerely, and other people also echoed.

I don't know how many times I have said these words, but no one feels bored.

Chang Xile just smiled, "The good days are yet to come, and our lives will be better in the future."

Uncle Chang said: "I still don't believe what other people say, but when it comes from Xi Le's mouth, it must be true. How dare you think of such a day in the past!"

A group of people praised and opened the bamboo baskets to set up meals. Although other families would eat something for lunch, most of them just had a few vegetable pancakes and they were done. They used to be like this.But it's different now, he eats well at noon, and works very hard in the afternoon.

As soon as the food was put out, the big guy couldn't help but began to swallow.

Stewed cabbage with vermicelli, braised pork with taro, cold Houttuynia cordata, gotu kola soup and jelly for relieving heat, and the staple food is rice dumpling!

Stewed cabbage and meat with vermicelli is for convenience, and it is directly stewed in a pot. It has both meat and vegetables, and it is especially good for rice.The highlight of taro braised meat is a large piece of meat. Taro can also satisfy hunger, and dry heavy work consumes a lot of energy. Such food can provide enough calories.The cold Houttuynia cordata and Gotu Kola root minced meat soup are refreshing things, and it is dry and hot in autumn, so eating some of these will not be afraid of getting angry.

Although Gotu Kola grows like weeds on the side of the road, it has extraordinary effects and can prolong life. It is very refreshing and delicious when it is chopped into small pieces and cooked with minced meat.It seems to be able to reduce the anger all at once, which is more effective than herbal tea.Not to mention the Houttuynia cordata, which is cold in nature, so it will have a special taste when chewed, especially if it is added with a little cornel sauce, it will be even more delicious.After the meal, have a bowl of jelly with brown sugar and ice in spring water, and the whole person feels completely refreshed.

"Hey, what you eat every day is like New Year's Eve!" Second Aunt Ma exclaimed.

"I'm used to eating this food. Will everything I eat when I go home become pig food?"

"You have the nerve to say that a woman with such poor cooking skills doesn't feel ashamed." Fourth Uncle Chang snorted coldly, pouring it into his mouth violently, his posture was so fierce.

This time, a group of women's soldiers were blown up, and Second Aunt Ma directly sprayed: "Fourth, what's wrong, you can't find your mother-in-law if she's not here, and you're being bullied? See how I'll let her deal with you when she comes back tonight. You can kneel down the washboard."

Aunt Zhou was not to be outdone, "I hate our poor craftsmanship, I will remember this, next time you dare to come to my house to eat and drink, see if I don't break your legs!"

Grandma Sun also said that: "I said that the fourth child couldn't sit still when he came to our house before. It turned out that he disliked our poor craftsmanship."

The other daughter-in-laws didn't dare to make such a joke, so they covered their mouths and laughed.Uncle Chang and his group didn't agree, they all watched and laughed at Uncle Chang's jokes.

The words said at this time sounded like a falling out and a quarrel, but in fact only the family members knew about it.Such a fuss seems to be able to slow down.No matter what you say, everyone doesn't take it to heart, but there are very few people who don't have a good eye and say something inconspicuous.

Chang Xiwang laughed and said: "Auntie, Auntie, and Mother, you have to eat quickly, Uncle Four deliberately provoked you, look at how many pieces of meat he ate while you were talking."

"Hey, it's true! This fourth child is a grandfather, why is he so greedy! I'm not afraid of small jokes!"

Fourth Uncle Chang proudly said: "Whoever makes you old ladies remember to say that you don't remember to eat, can you blame me?"

A few old men and women who were over half a century old were bickering like children, which made a group of people lean forward and backward with laughter.Even the elders in the family are like this, let alone the younger generations.

The big guys finished their lunch in the bustle, took a rest for a while and continued to work in the field.The children will not run around at this time, and pick up the fallen ears of rice in the rice fields with small baskets.Even the youngest girl, Niuniu, was holding hands by Zao'er, picking up rice ears slowly in the field.

Chang Xile led Chang Yu home directly, not because he was afraid of the sun or anything else, but because he had more important things to do now.

When preparing for the autumn harvest, Chang Xile finally understood how the rice is threshed and pounded here, the technique is very backward.

The rice threshing method here is "whacking", that is, the rice whacker holds a small bundle of rice and beats it on the stone, so that the rice falls off on the pre-laid bamboo mat.In this way, the fallen grains will fall on the mat to avoid being contaminated by soil, and it can also reduce losses. It is also more convenient to sweep and collect. This bamboo mat can also be used for drying grain.

The pounding of rice is like pounding a medicine pot, putting the rice into a stone bucket dug by a stone, and then smashing it with a mallet.What is better at home is to make a seesaw-like thing, with a wooden stake at one end, a stone bucket at the bottom, and people stepping on it at the other end, and use the smashing method to separate the husk of the rice.

Whether it is detaching or pounding rice, it is very time-consuming and labor-intensive.

If you want to live a good life for the villagers in Taoyuan Village, you must reduce the workload on them and replace them with tools as much as possible, so that you can have the energy to make some value-added commodities.Primary products can only meet the most basic needs, and further processing is required to obtain greater profits.

It's just that Chang Xile didn't learn agricultural machinery in her previous life, so she can't be like Ding Dong, who can make whatever she wants.Fortunately, because of illness, he couldn't go out, and he read a lot of miscellaneous books. Although he didn't go deep into it, he knew the principles of many things, so he didn't know nothing.It's just that he can only ponder those memories a little bit now to see if he can make the required farm tools.

But it is easy to say so, but it is very difficult to really do it. Not only does it require brains, but it also costs money.

Chang Xile really wanted to create a foot-operated vertical cage-stirring threshing machine immediately, but he knew that the key was to set the cage-stirring blades in the cage-stirring bucket, and use external force to drive the rotation of the cage-stirring blades to shake the ears of rice. Comb and shock to achieve a threshing effect.But it is not easy to realize this vision.He only has a superficial impression of how the whole machine is structured, and this is thanks to his fondness for dismantling machines since he was a child, otherwise he would be really confused.But even so, as far as his current level is concerned, it is possible to manufacture it only through design experiments.

So before he was not in a hurry to focus on improving farm tools, because he knew that it would not be possible to make them in a few years, and he needed money support.Although it is a coincidence to do business on the construction site, even if there is no place, he will find a way to do other business to save the emergency.

He couldn't manufacture a more modern pedal thresher, but he has some clues about a more advanced threshing tool than Taoyuan Village, and that is the rice bed that became more popular in the Ming Dynasty.

The principle is similar to rice smashing, except that the beating on the stone is changed to a special rice bed.

Apart from cooking, Chang Xile is busy designing the rice bed these days.The rice bed is much easier than the pedal thresher. Chang Xile designed it in just one day, and now he plans to make it with Chang Yu.Speaking of this, Chang Xile felt ashamed. Regardless of her mental or physical age, Chang Yu was younger than him. In the end, she had to entrust a ten-year-old person to do physical work. This feeling is really...

But what I have to say is that Chang Yu is a very good helper, as long as Chang Xile arranges it, he can make what Chang Xile wants after a few tries.His strength is greater than that of an adult, but his hands are very dexterous and he is flexible. He can make very delicate things with just a little practice.For example, Chang Xile is very good at weaving gadgets out of weeds, but Chang Yu only knows how to do it after learning for a while.Don't look at his strength, but his strength is well controlled, and he never breaks this kind of gadget.

It's only been a while, and Chang Yu has already done better than Chang Xile.Although this is also because Chang Xile is no longer flexible with one hand, it is definitely because of Chang Yu's own talent.At the beginning, he only knew how to draw from gourds, but after a short time, he was able to weave things that Chang Xile hadn't done before. He even said that he could make up a rough idea with just a little use of his brain. I don't know how much I like and envy.

It's just that Uncle Hu has always been arrogant, and if you want to take things in his hands, it depends on whether he is happy that day or not, and whether you like it or not.

So with the help of Chang Yu, the little guy who opened the plug-in, Chang Xile made the rice bed before the Chang family started threshing.
