As soon as he received the report from Li County Magistrate of Meiling County, the magistrate immediately sent him over.
Master Xu nodded, "If you can directly thresh the grains in the field, you can indeed save a lot of effort!"
At this time, the Liu family had already started harvesting, and the wheat was cut directly and placed neatly on the ground, instead of being tied into bundles with straw as before.
Mrs. Liu led her daughter-in-law to cut wheat in front. Old man Liu led Liu Zhijiang to pick up a handful of wheat and throw it in. With his right foot stepping on the pedal vigorously, the rollers inside would rotate rapidly, driving the wheat and wheat The rod is turning rapidly inside, bumping
After that, I heard the sound of crashing and falling into the wooden box below.
Open the wooden board on the side, and the wheat stalks will come out from inside.
Old man Liu quickly squatted on the ground and checked carefully to see if all the grains on the ears of wheat had fallen off!
Not only Old Man Liu squatted to watch, but Master Li and Master Xu also squatted down eagerly to search in the pile of straw.
The wheat in Old Man Liu¡¯s house is particularly easy to thresh. Now after putting it in and turning it around twice, all the plump grains in it can be threshed out, which is even more thorough than they put it on the threshing floor with a stone roller. clean.
Old man Liu said loudly: "Continue to threshing"
When Liu Zhijiang heard this, he quickly picked up a large handful of wheat and put it in, covered the wooden boards on the side, and stepped on it with both feet
After five consecutive tests like this, it is proved that the threshing effect is particularly good.
Liu Zhijiang speeded up, and the threshing effect was also very good.
Only the wheat harvested by three people can meet the threshing speed of one thresher.
One person can harvest one mu of wheat a day, so this thresher can thresh three mu of wheat a day.
Master Li and Master Xu are not too hot, they have been watching the threshing machine work in the field, and then often check whether there are still wheat grains in the straw.
The result surprised them very much. There were no wheat grains in the straw and it was very clean.
After the wheat is threshed, there is occasionally a layer of uncle's cover on it, but this thing will fall off automatically as long as it is turned over on the threshing floor.
Grain is packed in sacks and then transported to the threshing floor.
Those straws were still a little damp, so they were spread out directly in the ground to dry.
Liu Zhijiang and Liu Zhihe operate the tractor, while the others cut the wheat.
When the amount of wheat increased, Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang transported the wheat to the threshing ground to dry.
Liu Yiyi watched the field by herself, using a wooden shovel to spread the wheat evenly and thinly, and fully dried it in the sun.
Liu Yiyi was wearing a big bamboo hat, her face was also covered with a cloth, and her body was tightly covered.
Every half an hour, she would use a wooden shovel to turn over all the wheat grains on the threshing floor, and at the same time drive away the little sparrows that stole the grain.
Their family has 50 acres of land. If they don't hire long-term workers, even if they have a thresher, it will take seven or eight days to finish the work.
Now that there is an idle thresher at home, it is necessary to hire more people to highlight the efficiency of the thresher.
So old man Liu waved his hand and hired ten short-term laborers directly.
Give thirty Wen a day, including food.
With the participation of these ten people, Liu Jia used four threshing machines and started threshing. The other one was borrowed by the patriarch's family.
This time Liu Chengpeng was honest, directly said to rent, and gave a deposit of one tael of silver.
The remaining four threshing machines were taken back by Mr. Li and Mr. Xu.
?The whole Liujia Village was full of buzz because of Liu Yiyi's threshing machine.
Many people came to see it and were very envious.
Their four threshing machines employed ten long-term workers, plus their own family members, and it took three days to harvest all 50 acres of land.
The wheat that has been threshed earlier has been dried after three days of exposure to the sun, and is bagged and put into the warehouse.
People in Liujia Village saw that Liu Yiyi's busy farming time was greatly shortened, and they came to rent threshers one after another.
It happened that Liu Erlang also wanted to test the strength of the thresher.
People in the village are willing to rent the rent of 50 Wen per mu of land.
Liu Erlang has been following these mopping machines, recording various data and conducting inspections.
Indeed, there were some minor problems, but Liu Erlang was able to fix them quickly.
After these problems are corrected in the future, they will basically not reappear and will be more perfect.? The structure of the thresher.
?After all the wheat in the village was harvested, Liu Erlang delivered all six harvesters home and checked them carefully again.
Especially the bearing inside, he had to disassemble the machine before he could see it.
Seeing the different degrees of wear and tear inside, record various data, so that when making the second-generation thresher, we can avoid these problems and do better.
The most expensive part of this thresher is the bearings inside. The rest of the thresher is made of wood and ropes, and the cost is only about one tael of silver.
A thresher is used carefully, it can be used for several years, and it is also very cost-effective.
After all, during the autumn harvest, time is urgent. The sooner the particles are returned to the warehouse, the earlier the guarantee will be. The most important thing is to save energy.
Patriarch Liu had packed up, and came over to ask how much the threshing machine cost when he was free.
After the Liu family discussed it, they finally decided to sell it for two taels of silver.
If the materials are sufficient, two frames can be made in one day.
Liu Yiyi suggested, "Second brother, in fact, you can specialize in the most difficult part, and it is best to make it in a form that is difficult for others to imitate.
Then give those wooden products such as box shells to other people to make, and finally assemble them together. That way, you can do a lot in one day! "
Since the second brother will take the technical route in the future, he will do difficult work. As for those simple, not much technical content, then leave it to others.
Liu Erlang thought for a while, then nodded, "In this way, I can make four frames a day, one can earn five cents for one, and six taels a day."
Hearing this, Liu Yiyi was very excited, "Also, the busy farming season is over now. Big Brother, Dad, Second Uncle, and Third Uncle are also free.
Some things are inconvenient for outsiders to know, but they can be done by family members. Will I be able to do more in one day?
Liu Erlang's eyes lit up, "That's right, I only make the most critical bearings, and then I let daddy and elder brother assemble them, and ten can do it that day.
In addition, this thing is difficult to say, and someone will imitate it soon, and it is best to spread it as soon as possible.
At least the business in Meiling County is run by our family. As for the outside, it is estimated that with the power of our family, it will not work. "
Hearing this, Liu Yiyi nodded, "Yes, second brother, you are right, our family is not very powerful. If people from other places are willing to pay for blueprints, then we can sell the money directly, and save others from directly After learning, it is much better not to pay a penny.¡± (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
