Chapter 73： thresher

"Ah Chen, you are amazing, but there are so many wheats, you will get tired if you pull them, let's transport a little bit back first, and we'll get the rest next time.

"Mu Yan looked at the rope on Mu Chen's shoulder and said distressedly.

"It's okay, this is nothing to me, it will be dark if I don't go back." Mu Chen said to Mu Yan with a smile.

Mu Yan looked at the sky, looked at the wheat pile, and then walked to Mu Chen's side, obviously wanting to help him share some.

Mu Chen was not willing to let his little lover suffer, so he hurriedly stood aside so that he could not get the rope, and then said: "I am strong, so it's okay to pull these, but you will get hurt."

Mu Yan remembered what he had just plucked the wheat, and was immediately discouraged.

"Hey, let's go back." Mu Chen stretched out his hand to stroke Mu Yan's hair, and said dotingly.

The two of them started to walk back one by one, No. 5 was still flying over the wheat pile in amazement, Mu Yan was always by Mu Chen's side, talking with him, asking from time to time if he was tired or if he wanted to rest.

But seeing that Mu Chen's expression remained the same, and he didn't seem to be struggling, Mu Yan felt a little relieved and was very proud.

This is a guy from his family. He is strong and powerful, and he can't make anything that tastes like that. As time goes by, everyone will stop tossing about it. Instead, they look forward to Muyan selling more steamed stuffed buns and scallion pancakes.

of.

"It's edible. When will Ah Yan make it and sell it? I—definitely ask my family to buy more." Aunt Liu said with a smile.

"The quantity is not much now, when there are more, I will definitely make some for you to try." Mu Yan replied with a smile.

Mu Yan is handsome and cute, and well-behaved. He is still very popular in the village, especially those middle-aged aunts who always see Mu Yan overflowing with maternal love.

"Okay, okay, then Aunt Liu will wait for Ah Yan to cook something delicious.

"Aunt Liu laughed and finished, and she staggered away from Mu Yan.

Along the way, I met several villagers who were as enthusiastic as Aunt Liu. Of course, I occasionally encountered yin and yang, but usually they would block Mu Chen's face and dare not be too blatant, so Mu Yan never noticed their thoughts. , still warmly greeted them, but they were so angry that there was nothing they could do.

After returning home, how to thresh the wheat became a difficult problem again. Mu Yan looked straight at No. 5, with a look of anticipation in his eyes. Number Five: ..

No. 5 couldn't help holding his forehead, and wailed: "If this continues, when will we be able to pay off the points?"

You know, it costs five times more to buy things with points borrowed from debts than normal points, five times! Thinking about it makes me feel distressed. If they didn't owe debts in the first place, not only would they be able to buy threshers, but they would also have leftovers!

"Hmm...how about we wait? Anyway, the wheat will be reserved for seed, and it's not the season for wheat planting. Let's exchange it when we have points." Mu Yan said cautiously.

"What? Save the seeds? Isn't it going to be made into flour?" No. 5 listened, and instantly changed from the crazy state just now to another crazy state.

"These wheat is too little. If it is used as flour, we can't make much. But if we save the seeds, we can plant them, and then we can harvest many times more wheat than this. And if we find wheat later , I will make flour for you." Mu Yan said firmly, he had already made a decision when he saw the wheat

No. 5 suddenly had nothing to love.

This world is very different from the world Mu Yan lived in in his previous life, but the weather and seasons are similar, and there are also changes in the four seasons.

It's the end of spring and the beginning of summer, which happens to be the season for winter wheat to mature and harvest. It can also be considered the season for planting spring wheat. However, they don't have a threshing machine now, so they can't get wheat seeds, so they can only plant winter wheat in late autumn and early winter. .

Mu Yan tried his best not to think about planting, and let himself focus on selling buns, doing tasks, and upgrading the system, but he didn't know that all the things he was thinking just now were received by No. 5.

Number Five: .

Although the exchange points for the threshing machine are not low, if you sow the seeds now, you should be able to harvest in the fall. By then, you can get dozens of seeds for one seed, and the doubling ratio is quite high.

Then in autumn, it will be able to eat food made from flour. At that time, the task will be done faster, and the upgrade will be faster, and the upgrade points will naturally come in a lot.

Thinking about it now, it seems more cost-effective.

No. 5 mentally compared the harvests that can be obtained from the two methods of sowing now and sowing in late autumn and early winter, and found that sowing now is more beneficial, so without further ado, he immediately exchanged for the simplest threshing machine from the system .

Looking at the smaller numbers in the column of points, No. 5 felt his heart ache and became numb.

"Number five?" Mu Yan looked at the machine that appeared out of nowhere, and couldn't react.

"This is the most primitive and simple threshing machine. It needs manual operation, so it doesn't need many points. We really can't afford luxury now, so we can only use this." Number Five explained.

This is the first time for Mu Chen to experience the power of the system, and those dark eagle eyes became deeper, and the light in them flashed by.

When Mu Yan heard this, he immediately became excited. He didn't mind that this was the simplest threshing machine. You must know that it was much more advanced than what they used in the village in their previous life.

Originally, in Mu Yan's impression, he thought that the threshing machine was only the one used in their previous life village.

Mu Yan touched the threshing machine left and right, and asked No. 5: "How do I use this?"

"Connect it to the electricity, then hold a small bundle of wheat in your hand, and bring the end with the ears of wheat close to the direction of the turn, and then the ears of wheat will fall off automatically." No. 5 explained to Mu Yan Muchen in detail, after all This still needs the two of them to complete.

"Okay." Mu Yan was a little eager to try.

Mu Chen immediately found a power strip, and then connected the electricity to the yard, and the two decided to thresh in the yard.

Although everyone in the village knew that Mu Yan would find something edible to come back from time to time, it's better not to be too high-profile, after all, the tree attracts the wind.

Both Mu Chen and Mu Yan used the threshing machine for the first time, although No. 5 knew a little bit about it, but he was half-baked, so they were not very proficient in using it at first.

However, Mu Chen's learning ability is still very strong, he quickly found the trick, and became more proficient in using it.

"Mu Mu, take less each time, and let the ears of wheat close to you like me, and turn your head. Be careful, don't touch the machine." Mu Chen quickly threshed the wheat, while being distracted Pay attention to Mu Yan, and be careful that he gets hurt.

Fortunately, Mujia lived on the edge of the village, otherwise, the sound of the machine would definitely attract all the neighbors around.

Although Mu Chen was the main force for threshing, Mu Yan's efficiency was not high, but they didn't harvest much wheat, so they finished it all very quickly. By this time, it was already dark.

"I'm working on the rest tomorrow, you go to the house to rest first, and I'll make you dinner." Mu Chen said to Mu Yan.

"Ah Chen, you worked the most today, you go to rest, I'll make dinner." Mu Yan held Mu Chen's arm and said with his head raised.

"I'm fine." Mu Chen stretched out his hand to rub the other party's hair, and said with a smile.

"No, you have to rest." Mu Yan said persistently, and then pulled Mu Chen to walk towards the room.

Mu Chen had no choice but to obediently go to the room to rest, while Mu Yan went to the kitchen, made a few simple dishes, reheated some steamed buns, and had a delicious dinner with Mu Chen.

The next morning, Mu Yan and Mu Chen woke up early. After all, the wheat has been threshed, but it still needs to be cleaned and dried before it can be used as seeds.

The weather was fine, with plenty of sunshine and a bit of wind, just right for cleaning and drying.

As for the experience of sun-drying millet, I have seen others do it in the previous life, and Mu Yan is not very familiar with it, but it is enough to deal with the current situation.

Mu Yan found a slender wooden plank, because there is no special lifting tool here, so he can only use a wooden plank instead, scoop up some grains mixed with impurities, and throw them lightly, and those tiny impurities will be removed with the help of the wind. The next breaks away from the fallen grains.

Repeated lifting and cleaning in this way will make the fallen grains much cleaner and less impurities.

"Let me make it, you go make the buns." Mu Chen stepped forward, took the wooden board from Mu Yan's hand, and replaced him to do the work.

Mu Yan didn't compete with him either. After all, the steamed stuffed buns would continue to be sold at noon. It was the best way for them to work together.

The progress bar of the task is almost at the end, which means that after selling buns a few more times, you may be able to upgrade. Thinking of getting another recipe after the upgrade, Mu Yan feels very happy. I don’t know what the next recipe will be Woolen cloth?

In the yard, Mu Chen was cleaning the grains, in the kitchen, Mu Yan was seriously wrapping the buns, and No. 5 was circling around in the air boredly, no one disturbed anyone, and there was no communication, but It looks unusually harmonious and warm.

The Mu family's yard is spacious enough, so the wheat after cleaning is directly dried in the yard.

——After three days in the sun, the wheat seeds have become relatively dry, and the sound of the wheat grains is crisp when you use your teeth. At this time, the moisture in the wheat seeds has also decreased a lot, and they can be directly collected and used for sowing.
