Three Hundred and Sixtieth Chapters up and Down the Slot
When I got home, I happened to see Xue Sanhu coming back from the workshop at an unknown time, carrying a bag of early rice that Xue Sihu bought from the town yesterday and was about to go out, obviously going to the mountain again.
When Li Hehua saw the situation, he immediately asked, "Three Tigers, is the Gulong installed? Can the grain be threshed?"
"Well, let's try it." Xue Sanhu's voice was still very dull, not only the little Jiang Yue needed to look up at him, but even Li Hehua raised his head a little.
"Then go quickly." Li Hehua urged first, and when she saw Xue Sanhu carrying the rice, she excitedly said to Jiang Yue in a very soft voice, "Yuebao, let's go take a look too."
Saying that, he hurriedly sent the bamboo tube and thin stick into the house and put them away, and then hurriedly came out, leading Jiang Yue up the mountain.
By the time Jiang Yue was led by Li Hehua to the workshop, Gu Long was already threshing the rice that had been poured into the hole in the middle of it. After a while, the large white rice grains mixed with the sloughed bran fell into the trough below.
The bottom of this wooden trough is a circular mesh, like a large sieve, with many small holes that allow the bran to pass through, but the white rice grains cannot.
And there is another slot under this slot, which is the bran.
As long as the upper slot is shaken, the bran will be sifted into the lower slot.
Originally, this was not the case under the grain hull. Usually, the grain hull was pulled or pushed by manual or animal power, and the rice grains with bran were ground out, and then they were sieved manually, or artificially lifted under the wind, which was not like this at all.
The reason for this is that Xue Yan has been improved to make it more labor-saving.
And the upper slot has also been improved to be able to shake. The lower slot is much larger than the upper slot, and it doesn't matter that the upper slot shakes a little more.
The two troughs have outlets, which can be tilted to pour out the white rice grains or bran inside.
"This is also..." Li Qingshu and the others were all looking around, dumbfounded. Although they knew it was cleverly designed to turn, they still found it to be very magical.
Moreover, it also grinds very fast, anyway, I don’t know how much faster than human and animal power.
"Uncle Dafu, can I come to you to thresh grains in the future? It's too fast." Li Qingshu asked someone among them involuntarily.
"That's good." Xue Dafu smiled with his teeth out of sight.
Jiang Yue walked to Xue Yan's side.
When Xue Yan saw her coming, she glanced at her, and then shook the upper slot, so that only white rice grains remained in the slot, and all the bran fell into the lower slot.
Xue Wuhu was also overjoyed, and rushed over like a monkey: "Xiaoyan, do you want to try the stone mill in the next room?"
Xue Yan said: "It shouldn't be necessary. The stone mill was bought by the fourth brother last time and moved from the yard. The family has used it and there is no problem. The grain mill has never been threshed. It is new and only today. try."
"That's right." Xue Wuhu laughed happily.
This is so miraculous, and soon, the villagers will know.
Everyone who was free came to see it.
Naturally, the head of the village, the head of the village, is Lu.
Village Chief Lu and the others heard a lot of crunching sounds of wooden wheels before they got to the workshop. When they got there, they saw the wooden wheels under the overhead floor kept turning, one driving the other. It was extremely spectacular, and they couldn't help but open their mouths. , exclaimed: "My dear, this is too..."
When they saw the improved rice hull, it was easy to shed the rice into rice very quickly, and the rice and bran were quickly separated through the upper and lower troughs, and they couldn't help but open their mouths.
Can it still be so?
