Chang’an Peasant Girl

Novel Network, ♂ Novel Network,

Jingjing saw that her grandparents had grown crops and done a lot of farm work, but she had never worried about it herself, so in fact, she didn't know much about the inside, so she understood when Xiao Changyi said so.

only--

"Tapping rice?" An Jing carefully thought about Lin Jing's memories before he said, "It seems like a straw is used to harvest rice here."

Xiao Changyi responded lightly, "Yeah."

"No wonder it's so slow, we all have rice machines." Speaking of rice machines, Jing Jing's eyes lit up, grabbed Xiao Changyi's arm and said excitedly: "Xianggong, let's get a rice machine too. , that way, we won't be so hard to beat the rice, and the speed is much faster than using the rice tube to beat the rice! It's really fast, it is estimated that it will be more than three times faster!"

more than three times

Xiao Changyi's eyes flickered, of course it would be good if that was the case, but: "I don't know how to make a rice threshing machine." He didn't even know what a rice threshing machine looked like.

An Jing immediately said: "I don't either, but I have seen what my grandfather's old-fashioned rice threshing machine looks like. I can draw each part and let the carpenter and blacksmith do it for us, and then we assemble it ourselves. Get up, it should be possible to do it.”

"Is it necessary to use a blacksmith?"

"Yeah, some parts need iron, such as the rollers and runners for threshing rice. You can't understand it now. You should wait for me to draw it and see it for yourself. You can understand it without me telling you. ."

"Um."

Quiet suddenly remembered one thing: "Is iron expensive?" The wooden parts needed for the rice threshing machine are cheap.

Xiao Changyi: "It's a bit expensive."

"Does our family have enough money?" This is a big question. If there is not enough money, the rice threshing machine will not be successful at all.

"I don't know for now. When you draw which parts need iron, I will estimate how much iron is needed, and I will probably know if we have enough money."

An Jing immediately said: "Okay, I will draw it for you when I go back."

This rice threshing machine is urgent. She will use it next month. She has to get it out as soon as possible, so that she won't be exhausted by using the threshing tube to beat the rice.

Then, An Jing and Xiao Changyi went to the edge of the mountain to bring the cow home.

In the distance, Jing Jing and Xiao Changyi saw An Hegui and Aunt Yun standing at the door of their yard.

"Aunt, uncle, why are you here?" Jing was a little surprised.

Aunt Yun sighed heavily: "Xiao Lan is an ignorant, how can you ask for money from your chickens, you have helped our family so much, and now you have to make 3,000 catties of tofu, you didn't ask us to be cheaper and quiet. Ah, we really can't ask for these 18 pennies, otherwise, your uncle and I can only kneel down for you, so that your uncle and I can feel better."

Having said that, the two of them really intend to kneel down.

Jingjing would not let them kneel, and while hurriedly stopped, he said: "Uncle and auntie, don't kneel, I will just take the money back, you are really frustrating us."

Aunt Yun and An Hegui were relieved and laughed until they saw that Jing Jing really took the money.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Aunt Yun and An Hegui left without talking about anything else.

After dinner, the oil lamp was lit, and in the kitchen, Xiao Changyi began to tie a scarecrow, while An Jing sat at the table with black charcoal, and painted the parts of the old-fashioned foot treading rice machine on the inferior paper attached to the window.
