Chapter 114 Autumn Harvest
Ye Qing: "There is no threshing machine or farming in the barracks. I heard some veterans say this. Maybe they have this kind of thing in their hometown. I think we should need it."

Then explained the principle of the threshing machine.

Although Ye Haihe has not seen the appearance of the threshing machine, but after Ye Qing's explanation, he thinks it is much faster than the previous manual.

However, Ye Haihe also expressed his worries: "If this threshing machine can really be made, it's hard to say how long it will take, but if it succeeds, it will be made by blacksmiths or carpenters in private and sold. If so, then don’t we make wedding dresses for others?”

Regarding this issue, Ye Qing also thought about it: "If it really succeeds, we can sign an agreement with the blacksmiths. This thing cannot be done casually. If we find out, they will ask for compensation."

Ye Haihe was silent for a moment, then said slowly: "It will be difficult for them to sign the agreement."

"Why?"

"Blacksmithing is an ancestral craft. They think that only they can do it, but what right do outsiders have to tell them to keep it a secret? Since they can do it for the first time, they will definitely be able to do it for the second time. Practice makes perfect, even without detailed instructions. For the size, after thinking about it several times, it can still be made according to memory.”

Ye Qing was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect these blacksmiths to look down on people. Fortunately, the only blacksmith shop in the town didn't make things difficult for her when she went to order a mobile stove.

Ye Haihe paused: "The imperial court is very strict with ironware. If you need too much ironware, you have to report it to the Yamen. Otherwise, the iron shop will not be able to produce so much iron, and people will think that we want to rebel."

The corner of Ye Qing's mouth twitched, it's just such a small accessory, and it's also associated with the rebellion, isn't your imagination too rich?

Ye Qing was a little confused at the same time: "But, last time when I ordered a stove, I was not asked to report to the yamen."

Ye Haihe: "Maybe it just happens that there are ironware in the iron shop, and you have given enough money, so I just turn a blind eye!"

When I was in the Northwest Army, those weapons included long spears and broadswords, bows and arrows, shields, etc. Although they could not be compared with modern weapons, they were never missing. Make other tools!Too late to regret it.

Ye Qing: "Then let's make the threshing machine first, and let's talk about the future!"

If the threshing machine can really achieve the expected effect after the threshing machine is made, then go to the Yamen to have a look. If there is an approval, it should be mass-produced!

If not, cut off this dream of getting rich!

The father and daughter did what they said. First, they made it with wood. After the test was successful, they marked the specific size and asked a blacksmith to make it. This would save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Ye Haihe's workmanship was not very good, but Ye Hailin's workmanship was good, so Ye Haihe called him over.

Ye Hailin said naively: "Second brother, you are looking for me, is there something wrong with the house?"

Ye Qing: "Third Uncle, it's not my father looking for you, but I want to ask you for help."

Ye Hailin waved his hands again and again: "You girl, why are you being so polite to my third uncle? If you have anything to say, just tell me. If my third uncle can do it, I will never say anything."

Ye Qing gave him the blueprint: "Third Uncle, how long will it take you to make the things on the blueprint?"

Ye Hailin took the blueprint, and he could understand the disassembled diagram, but he was confused when it was put together: "What is this?"

This thing looks weird, he really can't imagine what this thing is used for.

Ye Haihe said proudly: "This is a threshing machine! It is a tool for threshing grains. It is much more convenient and faster than our manual threshing. It was drawn by Da Ya based on other people's descriptions. It is amazing. Bar."

Ye Hailin rolled his eyes: "Second brother, you didn't ask me to come here to help, but to show off to me, right?"

Ye Haihe smirked: "How could it be, Da Ya is already very powerful, do you need to show off?"

Old Ye Qing blushed. This is a plagiarized product of others. After drawing it with her hands, it became her invention. She pretended to cough twice: "Ahem, father, third uncle, let's get back to business."

"Yes, yes, let's get down to business, and we can't delay the business."

Ye Hailin's skill is really good, much faster than Ye Haihe's.

When he joined the army before, he was a real firefighter and had never been on the battlefield.

He learned from Ye Haihe that Ye Qing is also a fire-headed soldier, but from Ye Qing's skill, his movements are as chic as clouds, crisp and neat, absolutely impossible for a fire-headed soldier to do, it must be Fight the vanguards on the front line!
I just told a white lie because I was worried that my second brother and second sister-in-law would not be able to bear it.

That's why he felt sorry for Ye Qing even more. This child is young, not only sensible, but also has developed a whole body of skills, all of which are acquired by risking his life.

Because they don't know the size, the three of them are discussing while doing it!

Ye Qing also wanted to make a move, but was stopped by two big men: "Kids, just keep watching."

The corner of Ye Qing's mouth twitched slightly, she is still a child, my sister is not a few years younger than you!

Doudou and Zhuangzhuang thought it was fun, they fought around Ye Qing.

Ye Qing also followed them, but he didn't let the two of them get close to Ye Hailin, where there were tools and wood, if he accidentally fell down, he might be injured at any time.

But the child couldn't sit still and insisted on getting in front of Ye Hailin.

Ye Qing: "Don't move around, sit down obediently, and my sister will tell you stories."

"Great, my sister is telling a story."

Xiaoya moved a small stool over and sat obediently in front of Ye Qing.

Ji Yun and Zhou Yu'er helped Liu Shi with other tasks, while Ye Zhi went to feed the horse.

Ye Qing only told two short stories. During the production process, Ye Hailin would always ask her questions that she didn't understand, so the process of telling the stories was constantly interrupted.

"Okay, my mouth is dry, you guys know how to pester my sister."

Mrs. Liu came over with a bowl of boiling water and stuffed it into Ye Qing's hand: "Drink it while it's hot."

"Thank you ma'am."

After a day of repeated pondering, the frame of the threshing machine, that is, the frame, is finally ready, but the inside is still empty, and the inside is the key to the technology!

Tread shafts, pedal frames, connecting rods, gears, pinions, roller shafts, spokes, threshing gears, etc.!
Mrs. Liu didn't dare to disturb them, and when it was time to eat, she brought the food to them herself.

After five days of sleepless nights, the first threshing machine was finally built!

During this process, all the human resources were used. For example, there was no rubber to make the belt, but beef tendon was used instead. This beef tendon was the second aunt of Sangu, a relative of the village chief. stay after.

In this era, cattle are not allowed to be killed, because cattle are very useful, and the common people are very poor, so cattle are very expensive.

Only old and dead cows can be killed!

The gears and the like inside are also made of wood first. After there is no problem with the installation, the blacksmith will punch it out according to this size. Of course, money is indispensable.

The iron shop in the town has been open for decades, and it is an old shop.

The business of the iron shop is very good, and the blacksmiths are so busy that they never touch the ground.

In order to get the things earlier, Ye Qing spent a little more money than others.

What Ye Qing didn't know was that after she left, the owner of the iron shop looked thoughtful.

The blacksmith who made the accessories for Ye Qing was called over by a strange coincidence.

"What did the girl take just now?"

"What's the matter?" the old blacksmith asked strangely.

Boss: "Don't you think what she does is weird?"

The old blacksmith was puzzled: "Is there anything strange?"

"Do you still have the blueprint?"

"No more. When she came to pick up the goods just now, she took the blueprints with her."

"Why don't you keep the drawings?"

"Why keep that thing? I'm a blacksmith, not a blueprint seller."

Boss: "No vision!"

Old blacksmith: "?"

What does this have to do with vision?
"If this girl comes over in the future, please pay attention."

"Watch what?"

Boss: "?" Can't communicate!
After finishing the assembly, everyone was stunned: "Is this thing really capable of threshing grain?"

The little ones looked at it strangely, especially Doudou and Zhuang Zhuang, their eyes were full of doubts, what is this thing for?Can I climb in and play?It looks like fun.

Ye Qing: "You'll know if you try it."

Mrs. Liu said impatiently, "I'm going to cut some rice and come back!"

Ye Qing: "Mother, don't bother, let's just lift the threshing machine away!"

Ye Haihe: "Why don't you ask your mother to cut some rice and try it out. If it doesn't work, you have to continue to improve."

You're right, if it doesn't work, you can modify it at home without moving it around, and this thing is not light.

Soon, Mrs. Liu came back with a load of rice!
Ye Haihe urged: "Big ya, hurry up and try."

All eyes were on Ye Qing, holding their breath, waiting for a miracle to happen!
Ye Qing took a handful of rice, stepped on the pedal of the threshing machine, and put the rice in his hand on the drum. Suddenly, there was a roar of "buzz, buzz, buzz"!
The threshing machine was running non-stop, and the grains of rice exuding fragrance fell off densely like a shower, and fell directly into the front frame!
Ye Hailin shouted excitedly, and even jumped up: "It's done! It's really done. Look at the rice that's really come out."

Ye Haihe couldn't wait to say: "Big girl, let Dad try it."

It was the first time to use a threshing machine, Ye Qing explained the essentials and keys of the threshing machine carefully like a master leading an apprentice.

Ye Haihe finished thumping a handful of rice excitedly, with a smile on his face that couldn't be concealed.

...

The autumn harvest has officially begun.

The rice field is the main battlefield of the farmers' life. Generations of farmers have worked in the fields and spent their toiled lives in this not-so-vast field.

The rice grows for a long time, soaking up the sunshine and taking up the charm of the years, and it doesn't start to turn yellow until October.

There is a burst of rice fragrance in the fields. The rice on some plots has been harvested, and the dark brown soil is exposed again. The fields that were once covered with autumn fruits are becoming more and more empty.

Ye Qing stood beside the endless rice fields, looking at the golden ears of rice in front of him.

This is her first time participating in the ancient autumn harvest!

Early in the morning, Ye Hailin helped carry the threshing machine to the field.

Ye Haihe's feet were inconvenient, and he couldn't use his strength at all. People in the village helped him carry them.

The sound of rumbling threshing attracted many people.

Soon, the threshing machine became a beautiful landscape in the field.

Everyone is very surprised that this thing can be out of the valley!
Harvesting rice is really tiring, and soon Ye Qing was so tired that his back ached, even more tiring than going to the battlefield!
But Ye Haihe and Liu Shi still bent over persistently and harvested the rice meticulously.

"At noon on the day of hoeing, the sweat drops to the soil, who knows that every grain of Chinese food is hard work."

She'd better threshed obediently!
Ye Hailin and his wife also came to help. They don't have any cows at home. After Ye Qing is done working here, they will borrow a threshing machine to go there!

After a busy day, two acres of land were harvested, which was the fastest time ever.

The few acres of land at home were harvested in two days, and Ye Haihe was so happy that he couldn't find the north: "I really can't believe this is true. It was all harvested in just two days!"

Liu pinched his waist hard, and the painful Ye Haihe woke up instantly: "My mother, what are you doing? Let go quickly, it hurts me to death."

Liu Shi: "If you know it hurts, then it's not a dream, so hurry up and work."

Ye Haihe: "I can't even sigh."

"If you have this time to sigh, it's better to hurry up."

Although the rice has been harvested, there is still a lot of work to do, and drying the rice is one of the most important tasks!
After the straw in the field is dried, if the family does not have enough firewood, they have to take it home and burn it at home.

If it is not needed, it will be left in the field. In the spring of next year, it will be burned and used as fertilizer.

And Ye Daniu and his wife didn't see them coming to help!
This autumn harvest, after paying the taxes, they will distribute some grain to them!
When the family was separated, it was stated that the land belonged to them, and it would be returned to them after the autumn harvest.

As for next year, it is unknown whether they will farm.

...

However, when everyone was busy with the autumn harvest, someone started to be a demon again.

Ye Qing and the others went to Ye Hailin's house to help. A few days ago, Ye Hailin was busy day and night to make a threshing machine!

Ye Qing felt sorry and gave him the money. Ye Hailin's eyes widened in anger: "You child, if you continue to behave like this, Third Uncle will turn his back on you."

The third aunt also refused to take the money, saying that she didn't put in much effort, and it was too extravagant to take money!
After finishing his own work, Ye Haihe took his family to help, and it was a courtesy!
Zhou Yu'er was the only one at home, and even Ye Daniu and his wife next to him didn't know where they went!

In rural yards, as long as someone is at home, they will not be locked during the daytime!
Zhou Yuer was doing needlework in her room.

However, at this moment, the door of the courtyard was pushed open!

Zhou Yu'er thought that her family had returned, and was about to go out to have a look.

But a wretched-looking man with a long-haired mole on his nose and a lewd smile walked up the door and came in!

"Little girl, you are at home alone, are you waiting for me?" The man rubbed his hands and walked towards Zhou Yu'er.

Zhou Yu'er held the scissors in her hands calmly, and looked at the person in front of her, but she didn't recognize her.

"Who are you? What are you doing at my house?"

"Of course it's a good thing."

"Hurry up, or I'll call someone."

"You shout, even if you break your throat, no one will come to rescue you."
