Scientific farming and raising cute babies

Chapter 623 Wheat Harvest

The tool Gu Miao uses is to tie a small shovel to a long pole. Holding the long pole in her hand, she can stand upright and let the shovel cut the wheat straw along the ground.

This is a job that the original owner is used to, plus she is a supernatural person, she quickly mastered the skill, and the speed is not slower than those strong laborers.

She cuts the wheat in front, and someone behind uses a wooden branch to pick the wheat from the ground onto the cart, and then let the cattle pull the cart to send the wheat to the threshing field.

The wheat threshing field is usually in the field, and several nearby families share a wheat threshing field. At this time, there is no machine. If you want to thresh the wheat, you have to rely on a large cylindrical stone called a stone roller.

The stone rollers are cylindrical. If you have oxen at home, you can let the oxen pull the stone rollers to crush the wheat. In this way, the round wheat stalks are flattened, the ears of wheat are also crushed, and the wheat grains fall off.

But if there is no farming ox, it can only rely on manpower. A strong laborer pulls the heavy stone roller to crush the wheat, and he will die of exhaustion after a day.

This is not over yet. After the wheat is crushed and threshed with a stone roller, the wheat grains must be separated from the wheat straw and ears. This step is called "lifting the field" and requires the use of wind power.

After the grains and ears are separated, the grains are then bagged and transported home on a cart.

Wheat straw also needs to be taken home. Wheat straw can be used for fire, and it can also be stuffed into bedding and clothes to keep warm. It has many uses.

It is not the last step to transport the wheat grains home. The freshly harvested wheat is still steamed and needs to be dried for several days before it can be bagged and put into storage.

It will take several days for this whole operation process to go down, but now Gu Miao has a large family, Gu Miao and some strong laborers are cutting the wheat in front, and the others are responsible for threshing and raising the field with cattle, just like the assembly line of a factory Generally, each person is responsible for each person's work.

There are many people and strong strength. On the evening of the first day, more than a thousand catties of wheat were successfully transported home, and the wheat could be stored in the warehouse after drying in the yard for a few days.

"These ten cows have helped a lot!" Gu Miao said to Jiang Xiu while rubbing her sore arms on the way home.

Jiang Xiu hummed, and looked at the strong farm cattle beside her with a look of satisfaction on her face.

She has lived half her life and has experienced more than 20 wheat harvests. This is the first time she has encountered such a time-saving and labor-saving company. It is good to have more people!It's great to have cattle!
According to this speed, hundreds of acres of wheat can be finished in half a month.

"Continue with the jelly and vermicelli business, don't stop." Realizing the ease of the wheat harvest this time, she changed her words.

If this business stops, at least one or two taels of silver will be lost every day, and my heart aches!

Seeing that Jiang Xiu had changed her mind, Gu Miao couldn't help laughing, "Success. And those children can still cook at home, so we don't have to work any more when we get home, and we can have hot meals when we get home."

With Yun Mo taking care of the house, there will be no troubles, and everything is arranged in an orderly manner.

Jiang Xiu hummed and agreed with Gu Miao's statement, so the business of jelly and vermicelli continued.

Gu Miao went to the ground on the first day, and she was at home the rest of the time. After all, Yunmo had a handicap, so she still had to take charge of the family affairs.

Moreover, during the busy farming season, everyone is doing hard work, and they should eat more good supplements. Her cooking skills and her spiritual water have very good nourishing effects. After eating the meals she made, everyone just feels tired Quite a few, full of energy!
