Chapter 59 "Stone Mill"

Breakfast passed awkwardly, and the grilled fish bones on the stone slab were naturally chewed by Jiang Yan. Sitting aside and staring at the campfire in a daze, Jiang Yan thought about the next way out.

The wild wilderness of nature was understood in detail through yesterday's python Jiang Yan. She was still in shock and did not plan to catch fish again today. After all, there were two crucian carps at home that were enough to eat, and besides, there were many stored on the roof. corn.

However, this does not mean that Jiang Yan can be lazy for a day, because before Jiang Yan has had enough rest, the plants in the yard have already begun to cry out for food.

"Boss, thirsty, water, water!"

"Boss, the brothers want to make some simple big fountains!"

"Boss, my roots are on fire. This kid wants to die with me!"

The various urgings in the courtyard suddenly woke up the still sleepy Jiang Yan. She subconsciously wanted to tell Gao Chou to water the water. After thinking about it, she finally walked to the well by herself.

"Gao Chou will be gone in a while, and I have to avoid relying on the latter's labor now." Picking up the bucket, Jiang Yan poured the well water on the vegetable field, thinking in her heart.

Gao Chou on the side didn't think too much. He looked at the books lent to him by Jiang Yan and frantically learned the hard-won knowledge.

The three doomsday sacred books not only contain various agricultural knowledge, but also very systematic militia training and various combat teachings. This is a very rare treasure trove for Gao Chou now.

If you want to avenge your sister in the future, you must study all the contents in these books.

After watering all the vegetable fields in the front and back yards, and taking out some rotten vegetable leaves to feed the chickens, Jiang Yan straightened her stiff waist and sat on the Taishi chair nearby.

"worn out."

Lying on the Taishi chair, Jiang Yan looked at the sky with empty eyes. The white clouds and blue sky were still so beautiful, but Jiang Yan was as tired as a puppy.

Gao Chou had done the farm work just now silently, but now that Jiang Yan was doing it by herself, she felt a little uncomfortable.

After taking care of the farm, Jiang Yan worked hard for an hour and a half. Looking at the rising sky, Jiang Yan suddenly recalled an idea that he had given up for a long time.

Jiang Yan never knew the specific time of day.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan struggled to stand up from the chair. As early as a month ago, Jiang Yan had wanted to make a sundial to judge the time every day.

But it was in the early stages of sowing, so Jiang Yan was so busy that she forgot about it. After the sowing was over, so many things happened that Jiang Yan never thought of it.

"Is this what Sundial does?"

Jiang Yan has watched many documentaries and is relatively familiar with sundials, but it has been in his brain for so long that Jiang Yan can't even remember how to make it.

Fortunately, Jiang Yan has prepared many books, which contain knowledge in this area.

"It is not difficult to make a sundial, as long as the shadow is the shortest every day..." Returning to the storage room and taking out a book, Jiang Yan sat on the Taishi chair and read it carefully.

As described in the book, the method of making a sundial is not difficult. At noon every day, a wooden stick is inserted into the ground. As time goes by, the shadow will draw an arc on the ground.

Fill in a circle along this arc, and then divide the circle into 12 equal parts. In this way, a simple sundial is completed. However, due to the simplicity of the production method, there will be a certain amount of error in the specific time.But Jiang Yan didn't care about the slight error. What Jiang Yan cared about more was the inability to judge the time.

Once Jiang Yan was lazy and took a nap in the morning. As a result, she woke up with dark clouds in the sky. Jiang Yan didn't know whether it was in the morning or afternoon.

So after a while, watching the sky gradually getting darker, Jiang Yan finally discovered it.

oh?It's time to sleep again.

The sky was bright, Jiang Yan was lying on the Taishi chair and thinking continuously. Making the sundial was not that important, but once it was completed, Jiang Yan didn't want to repair it later, so it was best to choose a more reliable raw material.

In the park before, Jiang Yan had seen a sundial made of stone plates. Naturally, Shengjia Village did not have such a big stone plate.

However, Lao Cao's family in the west end of the village had a large stone mill. When he was a child, his family often got up early to sell tofu in the village.

If the stone mill is pulled back, it can not only be used as a sundial, but also can be used to grind beans when the soybeans in the backyard mature. Jiang Yan does not intend to let go of this kind of killing two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan called up Zhao Dabai who was lazy at the side, called Gao Chou who was still reading, and prepared to attack Lao Cao's house at the west end of the village!
With a pistol on her waist and a bow and arrow on her back, Jiang Yan put the little orangutan to sleep, and tiptoed out of the door with Gao Chou and Zhao Dabai.

"Jiang Yan, is it okay to leave the baby gorilla at home alone?"

Looking at Jiang Yan who was tiptoeing next to him, he looked at the farmhouse with a worried look and hesitated. Although this trip would not take long, but leaving the little orangutan alone at home, who knew whether she would wake up halfway and then Run out?

"It shouldn't be a problem, just go and come back soon." Jiang Yan carefully locked the door and headed west along the cement road.

Looking at Jiang Yan who was walking a little hastily in front of him, Gao Chou glanced at the farmhouse worriedly, and then pushed the cart towards Jiang Yan.

. . . . .

Lao Cao's house is relatively far from Jiang Yan's house, about three kilometers away. The distance is just right enough for Jiang Yan to leave the baby gorilla alone at home. After all, Jiang Yan, who is capable, can monitor the baby gorilla within half a minute. situation, so Jiang Yan was not too worried about leaving the baby gorilla alone at home.

Compared to the baby orangutan, Jiang Yan was more worried about Lao Cao's stone mill.

When Jiang Yan was a child, she went to Lao Cao's house to attend his son's wedding with her parents. At that time, the young Jiang Yan was playing around and accidentally saw the stone mill in the shed. That sight established Jiang Yan's love for all stone mills. Grinding stereotypes.

Round stone plates with a diameter of more than one meter wide and a thickness of about 1.3 centimeters were meshed together. This was obviously a huge instrument for Jiang Yan, who was less than [-] meters at the time.

Jiang Yan tried to push the handle above and used all her strength, but Jiang Yan could not move the stone grinder even one bit, which left a deep impression on Jiang Yan.

So that when Jiang Yan became an adult, her first reaction when she heard the stone mill was that of a giant stone mill that was thick and wide.

Searching for the memories in her mind, Jiang Yan identified the dilapidated doors in front of her. Over the past few decades, the dense vegetation had changed Shengjia Village. She wanted to find the original beauty in this situation. Being in an unfamiliar farm undoubtedly made it a lot more difficult.

"Red brick floor? This is it!"

Pushing open the iron door, Jiang Yan looked at the neatly arranged red bricks on the ground, and finally determined that the farmhouse in front of him was Lao Cao's family. This kind of neat red bricks was only laid by Lao Cao's family in Shengjia Village. The unique structure made Jiang Yan The smoke was finally discernible.
