Pastoral Valley Fragrance

Chapter 83

84. Thresher out of the oven

Under Gu Yu's guidance, Li Dequan patiently helped her make that "weird" thing.But I don't know whether Li Dequan is not used to seeing pictures or Gu Yu's pictures are too strange. In short, the things he made are somewhat different. Except for a wooden frame that looks okay, the rest makes Gu Yu sigh.

The next morning, Gu Yu looked at the messy pile of things spread out on the ground, and Li Dequan went out to work again. She thought of the chubby little girl who was busy cutting paper at Xu Shi and her house that day, and said to herself Make a model by hand and try it out.

She rummaged through the things on the ground, the wooden frame was usable, the wood looked messy, Gu Yu thought about finding a round thing to replace it, after thinking for a long time, she found a bamboo tube, and she still wanted to use it Add a handle at one end, put bamboo nails on the bamboo tube, it’s almost the same, then fix it on the wooden box, shake it by hand, and drive the roller full of nails to rotate, and the rice can be packed in the wooden box after it is taken off .

It's just that it's beautiful to imagine, and she still thinks it's very simple, but she doesn't know that it's not the same thing when she does it. Not to mention that she can't knock in the bamboo nails. Those things lay in a mess.

An Jinxuan passed by the main room, seeing her like this, he didn't ask any more questions, and squatted on the ground to help her with it with a chuckle, "What do you want, I will do it."

Gu Yu laughed a bit wickedly, and said flatteringly: "Brother Jinxuan is so smart, he can definitely do it."

"Don't pour honey water on me, it's the same thing whether I can do it or not." Even though An Jinxuan said that, his heart was very sweet.

So, the two of them sat on the ground and began to study, Gu Yu felt a little anxious, "Here, here, fix this handle on the bamboo tube, no, no, it can be shaken."

An Jinxuan was having a hard time doing these things, the bamboo tube was so small, and the wooden handle had to be able to fit in. When she learned that Gu Yu was going to fill the bamboo tube with bamboo nails, she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear. Maybe, don't waste your time."

Seeing An Jinxuan throwing his things away and walking away, Gu Yu felt a chill in his heart, thinking that the only helper was gone, so he should do it by himself.Unexpectedly, An Jinxuan came back soon, holding a chopped hoe handle in his hand, "You are so smart. If you are confused for a while, this bamboo tube will crack when nailed to it, but this wooden one is not important."

Gu Yu's face turned red, it's not true, she actually got into the corner of the horn, only thinking that the bamboo tube is round.

Sure enough, using bamboo nails to fix the handle directly to the round wood, it will be done soon. An Jinxuan doesn't care about so many, and knocks a lot of bamboo nails into the wood one by one, which looks like It's a hedgehog made of wood.

Gu Yu pulled the wooden frame made by Li Dequan and asked An Jinxuan to fix it.

Only then did An Jinxuan come to his senses, "Oh, I see, I said this thing looks familiar, isn't it the one we saw in the town that day? This wooden frame is pretty good, and it will be fixed around here The wooden sticks can be pulled into the field to directly thresh the rice. There is no need to carry so many grains to the drying field, and then carry them back to the field to dry, which saves a lot of effort, but you What are you doing with this thing?"

Gu Yu was a little proud of herself, but she also knew that she had to put some away now. After all, it was unsuccessful. An Jinxuan used a few bamboo sticks to fix the log. He got up, clapped his hands and laughed, "Brother Jinxuan, let's go get some rice from the field and come back, try it!"

Xu Qinshi held a handful of grain in his hand, the rice grains on it were stained with some soil, and said in his mouth, "I just went out to carry water, do you want to see if the water in the field has been drained, it will take two days After harvesting, I don’t know what happened, and I don’t know who was mischievous. After stepping on the ground, I wondered if it would sprout after soaking in water. It’s such a waste, and God can’t stand it when he sees it.”

Gu Yu didn't listen to what Xu Qin said so much, and ran over to finish the bundle of grains. An Jinxuan had already moved the small model out of the yard. Gu Yu saw that the relatively primitive thresher he had made was very simple and small, and felt in his heart. Very bottomless.

Xu Qinshi asked, "What is this hedgehog-like thing?"

Mrs. Wang took a look at Gu Yu, "I asked her father to make it yesterday. I spent a long time with Brother An early in the morning to get it right. I don't know what the trick is."

Xu Qinshi wiped his hands and came to look at it with great interest.

Seeing that there was an audience, Gu Yu felt a little nervous, so she hurriedly called An Jinxuan, "Brother Jin, shake that with your hand, the sooner the better."

An Jinxuan shook it, and sure enough, the wooden stick turned quickly. Gu Yu was a little dazzled when she saw it. Quickly, Gu Yu felt that there was a force to break the rice in her hand, she grabbed it with a little force, and the rice grains flew up, Gu Yu quickly closed her eyes, and suddenly felt that An Jinxuan stopped, "Why did you stop?" ?”

After speaking, he opened his eyes and was very pleasantly surprised. The grains on the grain in his hand were almost gone, and there were indeed grains in the wooden frame. An Jinxuan was also dumbfounded at this time, two grains were stuck on his hair He also didn't notice the flying grains.

Gu Yu slapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, we succeeded, brother Jinxuan, try it!"

An Jinxuan let Gu Yu shake the handle in a daze, and tried it with Tianhe himself, and found it a bit incredible.

Xu Qinshi was stunned at the side, and hurriedly called: "Mother Gu Yu, Xiao Man, come quickly, this thing, this thing is really strange, as soon as it is put on, the grains will run into the wooden frame by themselves. No effort at all."

Wang Shi and Xiao Man had never seen Harvest before, so naturally they didn't find it strange. It was only after Li He explained it that they finally understood.

"I heard from my brother that in some places, such a large wooden frame is now nailed, and when the time comes, it will be pulled into the field and wooden strips will be tied around it. Once the rice is cut, several people can go here at the same time. Hit, take off the grains and put them inside, so you don’t have to lie on the ground, you can stand up and save energy, and you don’t need to carry this thing to the drying yard. The fields that are stained with water are heavy, so you can use wooden barrels directly Just pick the rice out of the bamboo basket and dry it in the sun, tsk tsk, Gu Yu, how did you come up with this idea?"

Gu Yu felt a little excited, and blurted out: "This is the wooden frame I heard from my grandmother before. When we went to the town that day, we saw this round thing. Brother Jinxuan used it for harvesting. I I also thought that if these two things are connected together, it will save trouble, and the water wheel can save so much effort, so I came up with this thing, and I don’t know if it can be used.” After finishing speaking, I felt ashamed, in order to find Making excuses is really laborious.

At noon, Li Dequan began to assign tasks after eating, "I've thought about it. When the time comes to harvest, Gu Yu and Xiaoman are drying rice in the drying yard. I told you Uncle Chen that their family has a drying yard, and we also have a drying yard." If you can’t hit that many times, let’s share a piece, Jing Zhe will go to the field with your mother, and Xia Zhi will trouble his grandma to watch.”

Xu Qinshi should not, "How can this work, the whole family is outside, I am a hard worker, Dequan, don't underestimate me, maybe you are not as good as me!"

Mrs. Wang was also very disappointed. Harvesting is heavy work, so how could she bother Mrs. Xu, "You always listen to me, and besides, I need someone to cook at home, and I will bother you."

Xu Qinshi was still not satisfied.

Dequan saw that there was nothing else, so he settled down, "Okay, let's harvest the day after tomorrow, and we can eat the rice grown by ourselves in the future, but these days are embarrassing for you, anyway, the three-acre field It’s not too much, we can handle it, seven or eight days at most, it’s just that it’s more difficult to play.”

Gu Yu and Xu Qinshi looked at each other and smiled, and began to talk about the thing he made. Li Dequan still couldn't believe it, but he couldn't help so many people's praise, so he tried it for a while, and was pleasantly surprised when he came back.

"That's it, I'll make one tomorrow. I was wondering what the one Gu Yu drew before, but it turned out to be this one. What's it called?"

Gu Yu didn't even think about it, she opened her mouth and said, "Isn't it just a thresher!"

"Okay, thresher!"

Before, Gu Yu was still a little worried that Li Dequan would not listen to her persuasion, but seeing what he said now, she was a little worried about what to do if the big one failed and the farming season was delayed. You must know that you still have to plant late rice.

After listening to Gu Yu, Li Dequan waved his hand: "This is on my father's body. Besides, it's called sharpening knives and chopping firewood. You can't trust my father in this kind of work, but you should not say anything about it, just in case If I can’t do it well, I won’t be laughed at, I’ll do this first, and we will harvest three acres of land, and it will take us three or four days at most, if this thresher is easy to use, we will save a lot of energy!”

Xu Qinshi was also there to cheer up: "Yes, I can't delay these few days, grandma is here!"

Li Dequan did what he said, and Jing Zhe was his assistant. Li Dequan had already made the big wooden frame according to Xu Qinshi's instructions, so he just made a log at this time. The nails are replaced with wood chips, and small pieces of nails are nailed to the top, fixed, and the handles are also done.

This repeated attempt has already taken two or three days.

Others’ homes have already started harvesting, but Xiaoman took the initiative to take over the responsibility of doing the laundry. One day, he was very unhappy when he came back. After asking, he found out that Mrs. Zhang said that Li Dequan and his family are all lazy, and that the weather is so good. If I don't go out to cut the rice, I just want to wait until the work over there is over and call for help.

Inevitably, he talked about the harvester again, and Gu Yu pointed at the yard over there with his hips on his hips: "Hmph! Dad, don't lend her this thing in the future!"

That night, Li Dequan had almost finished the thresher. Jing Zhe and Gu Yu went to the field to cut a bundle of field grains, tied them with straw ropes, and Jing Zhe was about to pick them back.

Unexpectedly, the two young daughters-in-law who passed by to deliver meals pointed at them, "As expected, this family lives in such a petty way. If you look at such a small cut, it might be enough to go back for a meal."
