Happy Farm Ranch

Chapter 165

The mill is in the easternmost room of the living room, and there is a European-style lace iron gate between the two houses.

Usually this door can be locked, if you need to use the mill to open it with a key.

After passing through the lace iron gate and pushing open another wooden gate, the real face of the mill was revealed to everyone.

Outside the house is a wooden water wheel that keeps turning with the water flow. In the room connected to the water wheel, there are more cumbersome machinery, and the final force is the stone mill.

Because of the constant gurgling of the water and the constant rotation of the water wheel, the driven stone mill is rotating at a constant speed.

As for grinding noodles, it is no different from the stone roller used in the village committee compound, except that it does not need to be manually pushed.In this way, after the food is rolled by the stone mill, it can keep the original taste as much as possible, instead of breaking up too much like using an electric machine and losing the taste; it can also save worry and effort and quickly grind the food into noodles.

When you don’t need to grind the noodles, you only need to drop the pull lever next to the millstone, and the linkage shaft between the wooden water wheel and the millstone will be loosened, and the stone millstone will no longer keep spinning; no With the heavy driving force, the wooden water wheel can also reduce the pressure as much as possible, thereby increasing the service life.

Looking at the exquisitely designed and well-made mill in front of him, Ou Chen couldn't help admiring: "This is a real green environmental protection project. If we can use water and energy to supply electricity to the village in such an environmentally friendly way, it will be a great merit." However, the movement of the third master’s flour grinding is really good, brother Fei, you should learn it quickly, if a child comes to grind the dough in the future, I guess you will have to help.”

"Haha, it's just grinding noodles. Is there any movement that is not in place? When I was a child in the village, I used to push stones and rollers to grind noodles. After that, I didn't do it for many years. I'm not very good at it now."

Mr. Zhang helped sweep the corn into the mill with a small broom, and replied with a laugh, "Muzi, didn't you say that you planned to plant rice a few days ago, and it's not so cold now, so you have to hurry up Opening up wasteland? Otherwise, 'people miss the land for a while, and the land misses people for a year'. The climate in Huatanao is only suitable for planting rice for one season. If you don't hurry up, you may miss it again!"

When he said this, Su Mu slapped his thigh and remembered.

In the past few days, they were only busy thinking about Liang Fei and An Lu's wedding, but they almost forgot to organize people to open the swamp!

From the back mountain, you have to cross a large lake to get to the swamp. If you want to open up wasteland, everyone will have to camp there at noon and have lunch. How can you do it if you don’t prepare in advance?
"Third Master, you reminded me, I will go to the village chief to greet someone! With the experience of opening up wasteland last year, it is estimated that it is not difficult to open up wasteland in the mud bubble now." Su Mu hurriedly walked among the crowd Looking for the shadow of the village chief, the waterwheel mill was put into use today, and almost all the villagers came to join in the fun, so it is just right to call people on the spot at this moment!

The village head was chatting with Liang Dayong and the others at this time, looking out from the big French windows, the farm could be seen from a distance in front of him; and on the right hand side of the waterwheel mill was a small hill, which was really beautiful and intriguing. envious.

Liang Dayong was muttering to himself that he wanted to save money for a few more years, and when his son was older, he would find a place outside the village to build such a house!
Su Mu saw them at a glance, and hurried over to mention the matter of land reclamation to the village chief.

"Well, are you all here? Let me say a few words!" The village chief agreed when he heard it. Su Mu had mentioned to himself the matter of opening up wasteland swamps a while ago. Now that the weather is not so cold, it should be done. Take your time.The past few days have been busy opening up the swamp, and the seedlings contacted by Ou Shao can be planted as soon as they arrive!

If it goes well, people in the village will be able to buy sumu rice in autumn!

Most of the villagers were studying this beautifully decorated hut in groups of three or four. When they heard the village chief shouting, the chatter gradually died down.

"I told everyone a few days ago that Muzi is going to try to grow rice, and the swamp at the other end of the lake is just right. Anyway, it's unclaimed land. I don't think I will charge any contract fees. Let's clean up the guys , are you going to open up the wasteland for Muzi, okay? The seedlings will probably be delivered in a few days, and they will be planted together by then!"

As soon as the village chief finished speaking, the simple and honest villagers shouted in disorder: "Why not? Isn't it just opening up wasteland? I'll go home and set up a car!"

"No one wants that piece of mud bubble anyway, Muzi has been helping us all the time, so let's treat him as a gift!"

"Just do what you say, so what, village chief, tell me, how many people do you need? We have nothing to do now, so we just go to open up wasteland together."

……

The villagers responded enthusiastically, which moved Su Mu.

He waved his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet first, and then said: "The village chief said that the swamp land is not strictly speaking our village, but the village next door has been uninhabited for many years, so it is considered an unowned land. Contractor If you don’t want it, it’s okay if you don’t want it, but I have to pay you for the land reclamation wages.

The usual wages on farms and pastures are not included.Whoever participates in the land reclamation of the swamp will get 50 yuan a day and sign with the village chief, and the wages will be calculated together after the work is done. "

"Muzi is really bright in his work!" The village head slapped his thigh and laughed, "What can we say based on his point? Work hard!"

The villagers suddenly burst into laughter, and then came to sign up one by one.

The waterwheel mill has complete furniture and home appliances, so the village chief simply used the living room as an office space for the time being, found a few pieces of paper and a pen, and began to record the applicants.

It didn't take long for the land reclamation list to be finalized.

Everyone responded, all talking and laughing, and went back to the village to get farm tools, rain boots, and waterproof gloves.In order to facilitate management, the village head still divided the groups according to the same group as when he opened up the wasteland. Men, women and children joined the battle, preparing to march into the swamp and reclaim large areas of mud that had been idle for many years into fertile fields.

"This appealing force, this action force, tsk tsk, Brother Su, your prestige is too strong!"

Ou Chen praised repeatedly, not long after putting down the SLR camera in his hand, he took another shot outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

When the crowd was far away, he looked at Liang Fei and An Lu who were immersed in the joy of visiting the new house, and whispered to Su Mu: "Why don't we also go to the swamp to join in the fun? This is a gift from you, I guess Fei Brother and his young couple are about to be knocked out. Let them be happy first, and I will also go to see how many rice fields can be opened, so that I can call over there to urge the seedlings.

In other words, if the paddy fields on your side, Brother Su, can really successfully grow rouge rice, then we will all be lucky!When the time comes, I, the 'matchmaker' who helps match the match, will be able to call for a good wine made from rouge rice!Speaking of which, I'm really hungry. Let's get some homemade fruit wine to satisfy my hunger at night. Let's have a good drink! "
