After nuclear sewage, I can hear the voices of plants

Chapter 22 "Qu Yuanli"

There is not much content in the book, but in the chapter on agriculture, it talks about a farming tool, the curved shaft plow.

The curved-column plow is a tool used by farmers in ancient times to plow the ground. It is a type of animal-drawn plow. For Jiang Yan, the emergence of the curved-column plow will save a lot of effort, but Zhao Dabai needs to be pulled in front.

Looking at the patterns in the book, Gao Chou tried his best to digest the knowledge. He didn't have any knowledge foundation, so he worked extra hard at this moment.

"Oh, that's right..."

Keeping the contents of the book in mind, Gao Chou looked around for tools that could be made. Making a curved shaft plow requires a lot of wood, and some of it even requires fine cutting.

Fortunately, the entire curved plow does not have many parts. If there are enough materials, it only takes three days to make a rough curved plow.

Scanning his surroundings, Gao Chou regretfully found that there was no usable material. His eyes continued to scan with disappointment, and Gao Chou focused on Jiang Yan.

"Jiang Yan, do you have any wood here? I want to make a curved shaft plow!"

Hearing Gao Chou's voice, Jiang Yan stopped the steel fork in her hand and turned around. When she heard the words from Gao Chou's mouth, she held up the steel fork and shouted.

"what?"

"Quyuan Plow!"

"what is that?"

Although he bought several sets of the three doomsday sacred books, Jiang Yan has not read much, and even his knowledge about agriculture only remains in the memory of his parents working when he was young.

Jiang Yan had never heard of the term Quyuanli from her parents.

"It's a tool used to plow and turn the soil. It's pulled by an ox in the front and held by hands in the back!"

"Ah! A plowshare! Wouldn't it be better if you said a plowshare! What about a curved shaft plow? Who knows what it is?"

Hearing Gao Chou's explanation, Jiang Yan understood instantly. After a futile defense, Jiang Yan put down the farm tools and sat next to Gao Chou.

Hearing that Gao Chou was going to make a Quyuan plow, Jiang Yan took the book and read it carefully. After reading, Jiang Yan focused on Zhao Dabai, who was breaking up the soil in the vegetable field.

"You expect it to plow?"

Looking at Gao Chou questioningly, Jiang Yan's tone was full of disbelief.

No one knows better than Jiang Yan that Zhao Dabai loves to eat and is lazy to cook. Although his loyalty is relatively reliable, in terms of labor, Zhao Dabai is just as lazy as himself.

"There are no cows in the family, so he is the strongest one." Sensing Jiang Yan's doubts, Gao Chou scratched his head in embarrassment.

Looking at the vegetable garden in front of her, Jiang Yan thought about the feasibility. If a curved shaft plow could be used, the vegetable garden in front of her could be plowed in one day. Even a vegetable field as big as the backyard could be plowed in two days.

But if you rely on your own hands, you may not be able to finish it in half a month.

"What materials are needed?"

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan turned to look at Gao Chou, sharpening the knife and keeping up with the woodchopping. If he could make a curved shaft plow, the land at home could be planted in a week at most.

"It's all wood, but the plow needs to be made of iron, otherwise it will break."

Picking up the book, Gao Chou explained it to Jiang Yan, and remembered the shapes in the pictures. Jiang Yan thought about the tools that could be used at home.

The stored wood is rotten, but there are many trees around. If the trees are cut down, at most two will be enough.

As for the iron plowshare, Jiang Yan can completely coat the wood with a layer of iron sheet, which is not only lighter, but also not too poor in practicality.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan went ahead and walked into the house. Jiang Yan took out an iron saw, glanced at several big trees around the house, and headed straight towards one of them.

"Zhao Dabai, help me!"

Because no one was taking care of it, the big trees at the door had grown extremely strong, almost as wide as Jiang Yan's body. Although the iron saw stored at home was rusty, its blade was still very sharp, and it was not too big to use. the difference.Prompting Zhao Dabai to bite the handle, Jiang Yan aimed at the tree trunk and pulled hard. As one person and one animal gradually cooperated, the saw blade also saw into the trunk.

"Gah!"

Sawdust flew everywhere, and the tree several meters high made a grinding sound. Sensing that the tree was about to fall, Jiang Yan hurriedly asked Zhao Dabai to run aside, and he instantly pulled out the saw blade.

"Boom!"

The big tree collapsed suddenly. Looking at the trunk that fell to the ground, Jiang Yan took out a hand saw and cut off all the twigs. Then he took out a thick iron chain and tied it to Zhao Dabai's shoulder.

"Bring me to the yard." Jiang Yan asked, patting Zhao Dabai's generous shoulder.

Looking in disbelief at the tree trunk behind him that was several times larger than himself, Zhao Dabai gritted his teeth and used all his strength to drag the tree trunk into the courtyard.

"For such a big tree, one tree is probably enough!"

Gao Chou in the distance stumbled closer, compared the size, and looked at Jiang Yan with surprise on his face.

After loosening Zhao Dabai's chains, Jiang Yan patted Zhao Dabai's head happily, but the latter was so tired that he collapsed and ignored Jiang Yan's comfort. He walked to the side in three or two steps and lay on the ground breathing heavily.

The two busy people ignored Zhao Dabai who was standing aside. Jiang Yan dug out various tools from the storage room, and then divided the big tree in front of him according to the description in the book.

The small branches were left by Jiang Yan as firewood, and the main trunk was cut into two thick round piers by Jiang Yan. One was used as a stool next to the well, and the other was left by Jiang Yan as a base for cutting firewood. .

After peeling off the bark, Jiang Yan took out a pencil and drew marking lines on the trunk. Then he took out an iron saw and started cutting the wood needed for sawing according to the scale lines.

Looking at Jiang Yan who was busy, Gao Chou picked up a handsaw. Although the bone fracture in his right arm had not recovered, he could still use his left hand.

"Crench!"

Scattered sawdust splashed all over the two people. The tree trunk in front of them changed from the huge tree at the beginning to several sections, and then was divided into long boards, and then the two sawed out the required wood one by one.

After doing all this, Jiang Yan and the two were also overwhelmed by sawdust.

Standing up tiredly, Jiang Yan kicked the sawdust on the ground. These were good fire-starting resources. They could even be collected and used to cultivate mushrooms, or piled in front of the window to keep warm in winter.

As the sun gradually set, Jiang Yan picked up a wooden board and stood it on the wall. Then he took out his bow and arrow from the storage room and started practicing archery for the day.

Gao Chou looked at Jiang Yan training in a daze. After a while, he came back to his senses and picked up the broom beside him to collect the sawdust on the ground.

The 50-meter target was too difficult for Jiang Yan, and the hit rate was only twenty to one. After practicing for an hour, the sky gradually became dark.

After putting away her bow and arrows, Jiang Yan suddenly discovered that Gao Chou had prepared dinner.

However, it is boiled corn in plain water.

After a tiring day, Jiang Yan had a great appetite. After finishing dinner in a hurry, Jiang Yan walked into the house and fell asleep.

The sun rose early, bringing Jiang Yan with him in the storage room. Opening his sleepy eyes, Jiang Yan raised his sore arms and walked out of the room.

Gao Chou in the bedroom has long since awakened, and is currently cutting on the wooden board with a hand saw.

"I took a look and I think I can probably make the Quyuan plow today."

Realizing that Jiang Yan had gotten up, Gao Chou raised his head, his clear eyes full of excitement.
