Wild farming: I was hugged by the cold patriarch

Before harvesting wheat, a dam needs to be built, otherwise there will be no place for the wheat to thresh or dry.

Referring to the ancient experience of drying wheat, Ye Sang compacted the land to form a hard surface and then dried it.

There will be a lot of dirt and sand on the hard surface, but that doesn't matter. Before the wheat is bagged, it still needs to go through a hand-operated windmill. The hand-operated windmill will blow away the wheat husks and sand.

Ye Sang chose a piece of flat land in the back mountain, divided it into several parts, and then called tribal warriors to compact the land, with two teams compacting one area.

The soldiers were so strong that one day was enough to compact the ground.

The soldiers who were assigned tasks worked hard, knowing that after working hard, they would no longer be threatened by hunger.

Among this group of warriors were two new members of the Langkou tribe.

"This tribe feels so strange. Doesn't it mean we don't have to go hungry if we do this?"

"I don't understand either, but everyone is doing it, so we just have to follow suit."

"I'm not saying I won't do it, but I feel like I don't know why I'm doing it, and my mind is blank."

"Why do you want to do so much? Work hard, take credit, and just have meat to eat."

"Aren't you curious about what wheat is?"

"I'll know it by then, let alone what if I know it for you? Can you take it away or something?"

"You are just stupid and don't understand anything. It won't do you any harm to know more!"

"Knowing more will make you feel fuller or something?"

"you……"

"I won't tell you anymore. I want to work hard, eat delicious food, and earn credit for weapons. Whatever you want to know, think about it slowly."

"..." I was completely speechless.

While the two of them were talking, many soldiers looked at them, but no one said anything. Work was important, and talking wasted time.

While they were tamping the ground, Ye Sang was leading the carpentry team to make a hand-operated windmill.

The blueprints were bought from the mall. With the blueprints, it was not too difficult to make. Ye Sang separated the "parts" of the hand-operated windmill and transferred some people from the carpentry team over. Each team completed some of the work and completed the Dahua work. It’s small and quite easy to complete.

Di (cai) is a member of the carpentry team. Ever since he came into contact with carpentry, he has been very interested in carpentry. He understands measuring and using tools at once.

The first piece of furniture he made was a stool, the stool on which students sat in class.

He was very happy when he made the stool. In order to record this great feat, he also carved a "ten" on the stool. If you look for it, you can find the stool he made.

Today, Shao Wu talked about making a wooden tool called a hand-operated windmill, which was meant for wheat fan shells. He didn't understand a word of it, but it didn't affect his excitement about the wooden tool.

Shao Wu called them together and divided them into teams first. Then one team was given a blueprint. The blueprint he got was four wooden boards.

The top of the wooden board is large and the bottom is small. It is said to be the "bucket" part used to make the hand-operated windmill.

Explanation was an explanation, but he still didn't understand it, but it didn't affect him in making woodware.

Go get a piece of wood, first use a tool to draw the shape and size on the wood, and then use a saw to remove the board.

At this time, it needs to be larger. The subsequent polishing process will remove some of the edges and corners. If it is just that big, after polishing it smooth, the board itself will be much smaller.

This is the experience he gained after failing once.

Seeing that he was doing his job seriously, Ye Sang came over and said, "Di, how are you? Is it difficult?" Di shook his head and said to himself that Shao Wu's voice was really nice, so he replied: "It's not difficult. I think making wooden utensils is very easy. , as long as I have the tools and drawings, I can make a lot of woodwork."

Ye Sang heard this and smiled encouragingly: "Then if you are free in the future, you can come to me and I will get you the drawings of furniture for you to study with."

Di was excited: "Thank you, young wizard."

Ye Sang's voice was gentle: "If you have any questions, you can tell me and we will discuss it together."

Di nodded happily: "Yes, young wizard."

In addition to the drying ground and the hand-operated windmill, there is another thing, the flail.

The flail consists of two parts: the striking part and the handle.

The striking part consists of six thumb-thick bamboo sticks, each about fifty centimeters long. The six bamboo sticks are tied together by three crossbars and tied with pigskin strips.

The handle is made from a long bamboo pole about two to three meters long. A section of the long bamboo pole is baked and then turned and bent to form a ring. After being bundled, it covers the end crossbar of the flail.

After the wheat is dried, it is spread flat on the ground and threshed by beating it with a flail. This process requires the use of a farm tool - a bamboo rake.

The bamboo rake is made of bamboo and looks like an enlarged claw. It is mainly used to grab the wheat stalks after threshing.

In addition, when drying wheat grains, a farm tool - a grain rake - is needed.

In short, there are quite a lot of farm tools that need to be used. In the next period of time, Ye Sang will lead everyone to prepare farm tools.

……

That night, Ye Sang selected the mall and clicked on the weather forecast button.

The weather in July is very changeable, with heavy rain in the morning, strong sun in the afternoon, heavy rain yesterday, and strong sun today. The weather changes very quickly. She needs to know the changes of heaven and earth, otherwise the wheat will not germinate in such a hot day if it is rained!

[Mall: It costs [-] to activate weather forecast, which can accurately predict the weather within three days. 】

There was an upgrade button at the back, and Ye Sang clicked on it.

[Upgrade to one level, you can predict for one more day, and the activation fee is [-]; upgrade to two levels, you can predict for two more days, and the activation fee is [-], and so on...]

Ye Sang has become accustomed to this money-grabbing system. She spent [-] yuan to increase the prediction time to five days.

With such a strong sun, five days is enough for wheat to dry.

After making some other preparations, Ye Sang exited the mall and returned to reality.

……

It took more than half a month to get everything ready and the harvest could begin.

On this day, the grass started early. There was no need to go collecting today. All the people from the Ministry of Agriculture gathered at the edge of the wheat field.

The vast and boundless wheat fields are golden, drifting with the wind and waves, exuding a strong milk fragrance, bathed in the sun, and reflecting this warm light.

"When harvesting wheat, you only need to cut off the ears of wheat, and the remaining wheat stalks must also be cut, and those will be used as firewood, you know?" Ye Sang said while holding a sickle to cut the wheat ears to demonstrate to everyone.

This is simple and everyone can understand it at a glance. The tribesmen who were handed out sickles immediately started cutting.

Ye Sang saw that the tribesman had cut the pole a little too long, so he said: "When cutting the wheat ears, try to cut as close to the head of the wheat ears as possible, so that more wheat ears can be installed."

When cutting the wheat ears, Ye Sang pinched the wheat ears. The wheat ears were relatively dry. As soon as they were pinched, the wheat grains had fallen out.
