Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 113 The Power of Big Hair
Da Mao dragged the plow and galloped across the field, while a group of people stood at the stalks and looked on stupidly.

Now the one holding the plow is Liu Dezhu, this kid has a lot of strength in him, he is holding the plow and galloping, laughing haha ​​while running, he is completely indifferent to the big hair galloping ahead.

"Slow down, slow down!"

Although Liu Fulin hoped that the work in the field would be finished quickly, he threw his grandson down again. Unfortunately, Liu Fulin's words didn't matter at all, and the bear ran and the bear ran.

"Can a bear be so strong?" Tao Yisheng felt a little unbelievable. According to his knowledge, the strength of a bear is great, but not much stronger than that of a bull. But the strength of this bear is a bit beyond his imagination. He pulled the plow and ran away, as if he hadn't pulled anything, which made him doubt his previous cognition for a moment.

"Who knows, have you ever seen a bear pulling things?" Zheng Youcai turned his head to look at Tao Yisheng and asked curiously.

Tao Yisheng waved his hand: "I haven't seen that before, it's just...".

"It's just nothing, I haven't seen it before, so why not talk about it. Ouch, people who look at this skill really like it. The only pity is that it can only be used here. It would be great if I could bring it back to our team."

Everyone understands that Zheng Youcai wants Da Mao to pull a plow for his nephew's house. Everyone can understand that Zheng Youcai likes his nephew. The bottom line in Zheng Youcai's heart is to wait until he is old and can't move His nephew and niece and daughter-in-law are waiting for him, so if there is something good now, he will go to his nephew's house for a while.

But to put it aside, Zheng Youcai still has the basic spectrum. He takes back his own things, but he doesn't touch other people's things at all, including the things that his apprentice Liu De lives in.

With this bottom line, Zheng Youcai is not annoying.

"You can't afford to take it home. Let alone two days, how much meat can you feed Da Mao for a meal? With this meat, your nephew's family would rather pull it by themselves than let Da Mao pull the plow. " Tao Yisheng said with a smile.

This is a bit heartbreaking, but Zheng Youcai has no way to refute it, because what he said is the truth, there is a meal of meat to feed the bear, no matter what, it costs more than ten to twenty catties, which is the least, and these people have enough for the whole family It's been a month, so why save that half a day of effort.

"That's right!" Zheng Youcai said with a smile.

Everyone continued to look at one person and one bear in the field, and when they turned back twice, Da Mao threw off his shoulders and rushed to Gu Siwei's side cheerfully.

Gu Siwei picked up two pieces of peach cakes, threw them into Da Mao's mouth, and stroked his brain at the same time. Gu Siwei liked Da Mao who was able to work very much. They were all smiling, their faces full of indescribable spring breeze.

"Hey, it's used for this job. It's really suitable to pull half a bag of peach cakes from one mu of land." Liu Fulin smiled and stretched out his hand, stroking the back of Da Mao's head.

Da Mao is eating very politely now, biting small bites, and then smacking his mouth endlessly, as if he wants to squeeze out the last trace of sweetness from the peach cake in his mouth.

Gu Siwei had a new plan in mind, thought for a while and asked the old people nearby: "How about I double the size of this plow mirror?"

"It's not that good," Liu Fuji quickly concluded.

Gu Siwei was a little confused, and turned his head to look at Liu Fulin curiously.

Just about to ask a question, Liu Fulin opened his mouth first.

"I know you want to plow deeper and the ridge can be bigger, but have you ever thought about why the plowshare is so big? To be honest, if it is bigger, the body of the plow will not be able to bear the force, and the big hair can be pulled. But the plow can’t bear it. If you want to change to a double-sized plow mirror, it’s best to use an iron plow, so that it has enough weight and can’t be broken. Now this kind of wooden one, especially the front curved shaft , Did you notice, it's almost loud now..."

As an old peasant family, Liu Fulin still knows these basics even though he worked as a small shop outside most of the time.

"Iron casting?" Gu Siwei asked.

A plow made of iron is a problem for others, but it is not a big deal for him. He also has cheap apprentices on his side, and his apprentice, Lao Tzu, getting a plow is not a problem, the key is whether he needs it or not.

"It would be better if it was made of fine steel," Liu Fulin said with a smile.

Tao Yisheng interjected at this time: "What kind of plow do you get from fine steel? Just use a three-headed plow, and set up iron rollers on the left and right sides. In this way, you can use your hands to support it, and people can stand on it and rely on the weight to hold it down." The plow, as long as the big hair can drag it, is at least three times faster than the current one, and people don't need to run along with it."

"What plow?"

As soon as Gu Siwei heard that people didn't need to follow him anymore, he suddenly regained his energy. He had no choice but to run with Da Mao for more than half an hour. There is no way for a bear to compare.

Tao Yisheng said: "I can't understand it for a while, I will draw it for you later."

"Draw it now, I'm also curious, the three-headed plow?" Liu Fulin felt that this thing was a bit advanced, and he had never heard of it.

Tao Yisheng said: "This is a plow pulled by three oxen. I think Damao is strong enough. I guess it can be pulled up by itself. It is actually easy."

As he said that, Tao Yisheng stretched out his hand, found a hard twig on the side stem, and began to draw lightly on the ground.

"First of all, to keep the plow stable, that is to say, it can stand without being supported by others. It must have three wheels. The layout of the wheels is triangular. Note that the plow must be able to lift up and down, so that the depth of the plow inserted into the soil can be adjusted... ".

Gu Siwei was just playing with machines. Tao Yisheng understood what he said. It was very simple and similar to the plows used by large tractors decades later.

Of course, no matter how strong Da Mao is, it is impossible to go bigger than a tractor, so even a three-headed plow is smaller than a plow pulled by a big tractor.

"How to adjust the height of this thing?" Liu Fulin didn't understand.

Tao Yisheng glanced at Gu Siwei and asked, "Do you understand?"

Gu Siwei nodded, seeing that Tao Yisheng obviously wanted to test himself, so he opened his mouth and said, "You can use a hydraulic device...".

Talking about Tao Yisheng, he was stunned. He didn't know what a hydraulic device was. The most primitive method he saw for this kind of plow, the lock adjustment, is very simple, that is, there are many holes on the plow column. , Insert the pin into the hole at whatever height you want. The advantage is that it is convenient, but the disadvantage is that you cannot adjust the height at will.

If you want to adjust [-], [-], [-], it’s fine, but if you want to adjust it precisely to [-], then you can’t, because there is no hole between [-] and [-] and you can’t adjust to this height.

But Gu Siwei's solution is that you can adjust the height to whatever you want. Of course, it is not realistic to get this thing out now, and Lao Gu has no way to get a hydraulic device out.

Lao Gu knows what it is, but at the level of Qiao Qisheng's factory now, it is really impossible to produce a hydraulic press device that Gu Siwei thinks is qualified.

It's not unexpected, but the level of manufacturing is not good. Don't underestimate a simple little thing decades later, it will be technically difficult in this period of time.

Although Gu Siwei is a part-time worker, this little thing can't bother him. After knowing what Tao Yisheng was talking about, Gu Siwei began to design in his heart.

Now I just think, if I really want to do it, Gu Siwei has to pick up a pen and paper and draw a more accurate picture. Although the things are simple, Gu Siwei is still very serious when doing things. This is what his former master taught him. habit.

"How about it?"

Liu Fulin asked his grandson Liu Dezhu.

Liu Dezhu grinned and smiled innocently: "It's so fun, I'll play it later."

"...".

Liu Fulin was a little speechless looking at his grandson, who was sweating profusely while running and still wanted to play.

Gu Siwei came back to his senses at this time, and when he heard Liu Dezhu's words, he said with a smile: "Take a break, and I will let you play after I help you for two laps."

Gu Siwei really didn't dare to let Liu Dezhu keep running like this. The weather is not cold now, and the temperature has risen. Let him keep running in the sun like this, and heatstroke will be mild. What if something happens? It's not beautiful.

At this time, Tao Yisheng said: "Actually, it is enough to plow here today, but we may not be able to plant well tonight. We will plant what we have plowed first, and we will plow it tomorrow. Big hair is too big. It's powerful, but we humans can't keep up with it."

Tao Yisheng is telling the truth. There are only two people who can support the plow of the big mullah. One is Liu Dezhu and the other is Gu Siwei. Guo Shengshou is not very old, but his physical strength is not good enough. Guo Shengshou is lazy, but his health has not been very good, he is able to work physically, but it is really impossible to run in the sun like this.

Gu Siwei didn't want to do it anymore, because he really couldn't take it anymore. As for Liu Dezhu, he really wanted to do it, but no one asked him to do it anymore, so today the work of plowing the land was dismissed.

The work on the cultivated land is harvested, and there are other jobs. The sweet potato seedlings collected from the village have to be planted. Without machines, people have to plant them one by one. Generally leave more than half the distance.

One is that Gu Siwei wants to keep it, and the other is that if the planting is too dense, there will not be so many seedlings. After all, this thing was taken over by Gu Siwei, who was not planted by others. It is unrealistic to keep half of it, so when Gu Siwei collected it, it was not enough for the original plan.

The seedlings were planted until dark, and the big guys finished eating.

Today Gu Siwei had to send Liu Fulin's father and grandson and Wu Meiling and Guo Shengshou home. They haven't been home for a few days, and they have to go back and stay overnight.

Of course, things had to be brought home. Gu Siwei gave each of the two families a pack of snacks and a bag of rice.

Tao Yisheng and Zheng Youcai had no relatives and no reason, so they stayed directly. Now they live in the house that Gu Siwei planned to use as a utility room.

The two of them are not unaccustomed to anything, the utility room of Gu Siwei's house is much more spacious and bright than theirs.

The next day, two families were picked up and everyone continued to work.

Just like this, there are more and more seedlings in the field gradually, and there are dots of green on the original gray-yellow land.

　Something has happened in the past two days, so there will be no three shifts, two shifts every day, and three shifts will resume after these two days, please forgive me.Stone is here to say sorry first.
