Chapter 364 Up and Down Slots
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, he was 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 had to look up at him, but even Li Hehua raised his head a little.
"Then go quickly." Li Hehua urged first, and seeing Xue Sanhu carrying the rice, she excitedly said to Jiang Yue in a very soft voice, "Yuebao, let's go take a look too."
Said, he hurriedly sent the bamboo tube and the thin stick into the house and put them away, and then hurriedly came out, leading Jiang Yue up the mountain.
When 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 big 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 for bran.
As long as the upper slot is shaken, the bran will be sifted into the lower slot.
Originally, this is not the case under the rice hull. Usually, the rice hull is pulled or pushed by manual or animal power to grind out the rice grains with bran, and then it is manually sieved, or artificially raised under the wind, which is 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 bit.
There are outlets in both slots, which can be tilted to pour out the white rice or bran inside.
"This is also..." Li Qingshu and the others all looked around, dumbfounded. Although they knew it was cleverly designed to turn, they still found it to be very magical.
Moreover, it 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? This is too fast." Li Qingshu asked one of them involuntarily.
"That's cool." Xue Dafu smiled with his teeth out of sight.
Jiang Yue walked to Xue Yan's side.
Xue Yan glanced at her when she saw her coming, 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. It was moved from the yard at home. The family has used it and there is no problem. And the grain mill has not been threshed. It is new and only today. try."
"That's right." Xue Wuhu laughed happily.
This is such a miraculous thing, and soon, the people in the village knew about it.
Anyone who is free will come to see it.
Naturally, the head of the village - Village Head 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 husks, they threw the rice into rice very quickly without any effort, and the rice and bran were quickly separated through the upper and lower troughs, and they couldn't help but open their mouths.
Is this still possible?
