My father valued rice more than anything else. Of course, he still didn¡¯t know that He Fan had made so much money from rice flower crabs, and He Fan never revealed it.
It can be regarded as a side job of making some money by feeding people in the rice fields.
He Fan was about to run away to avoid being despised by his father, but he was stopped again:
"The rice is almost ripe. Let's get our threshing machine out and renovate it and maintain it. It will be used soon."
Yes, this was caught again, and He Fan had to respond.
Qinghe Village is located in a remote area with few households and few rice fields. The large fleet of harvesters are not willing to come in.
????????????????????? There are only country roads, not a single decent road. It takes a lot of effort for the harvester to drive in. In addition, the villagers tend to save money and rely on human power to harvest.
The He Fan family is naturally like this. Over the years, my parents have harvested the seven or eight acres of rice with one sickle at a time!
In addition to the sickle, there is another most important tool, which is the threshing machine.
The shape of the threshing machine is a rectangular parallelepiped. One section is chamfered and has no cover. It is like a tin box. The other end is equipped with a roller with a saw handle.
When harvesting rice, just use a wheelbarrow to push it to the rice field.
Generally, there are two types: hand-operated and foot-operated. Place the cut rice stalk and rice ear end on the roller and step on it with one foot. When the roller rotates, the rice will be separated from the rice stalk.
He Fan went into a small house that was used as a warehouse at home and moved these tools out.
Next, I started to pack it away. The sickle was fine. After I used it last year, I wrapped it in oil paper cloth, took it out and rubbed it on the whetstone, and it was ready for use.
¡°Bah, bah, bah!¡±
There were sparks on the whetstone.
The chickens and ducks in the henhouse may have some childhood shadow, and they all quacked when they heard the sound of sharpening knives. Dahuang also shrunk his head and ran out of the house.
The cooking threshing machine is a bit troublesome. The rollers are a little rusty after not being used for a year. They need some engine oil before they can be used. Naturally, He Fan has to do this tiring and dirty job.
In addition to the threshing machine, He Weihai and He Fan worked together to move a big guy out of the house.
? This thing can be seen in almost every household in rural areas. In Qinghe Village, it is called "Gufengdou". This thing is not needed for harvesting rice, but when it comes time to grind rice, it will be put to great use.
The shape of the "blast bucket" is a bit strange. The whole body is made of wooden material, with four legs at the bottom for support. There is a funnel-shaped object on the top, surrounded by wooden boards on all sides, and a wooden electric fan-like object is installed inside. There is also an exit below.
The rice is recovered, and after being air-dried, it is usually separated using a rice milling machine. In Qinghe Village, only the third uncle who runs a canteen has a rice mill, but it is already a very old machine. It can only separate the rice from the outer husk, which is often called rice bran, but it is still mixed together in the end. .
He Fan remembered that every year during the rice harvest season, there would be a long queue at the door of his third uncle¡¯s small supermarket every day. The folks in Qinghe Village brought all their rice over, waiting to use the rice mill.
After grinding the rice, the villagers go home and use the "blast bucket" to separate the rice and rice bran.
For a time, the entire Qinghe Village was filled with the squeaking sound of the bearing friction when the "blast bucket" was running.
The rice bran falling everywhere has become cheaper for the chickens and ducks raised by the villagers.
At this time, you need to use this "blast bucket"!
Shake the fan inside, and then pour the mixed rice and bran from the funnel above. Because the rice is heavy and the bran is light, the rice bran will be blown away by the fan inside. Only crystal white rice will come out of the lower outlet.
Although the working principle of this tool is simple, it is also the crystallization of the wisdom of working people for thousands of years.
"The bearings of the fan inside need some oil to make them work better."
By the time everything was cleaned up, He Fan's hands were already covered with engine oil. He applied soap and finally washed them clean.
"Everything is ready, just waiting to harvest the rice."
As the days passed, He Fan also informed Li Yu and Lin Guo that the supply of rice flower crabs would be suspended for a period of time.
If it is an ordinary supplier, it will cut off the supply if it says it will cut off, and there will be a risk of breach of contract, but He Fan is different. Monopoly is arbitrary!
He Fan would spread the spiritual rain almost every day on the crab seedlings he had put in before. After ten days, they had all matured.
He Fan notified Lin Guo to send a team to load the truck. After all the rice flower crabs were fished out, no crab seedlings were put in.
There are also some rice flower shrimps, rice flower fish, and even rice flower loaches that were thrown in before. They are all mature now, and they are all caught.
¡°Haha, it¡¯s a treat to have a solid meal tonight.¡±
He Fan slipped out a rice flower loach from his pocket. It was quite fat and strong, and he struggled hard to shake it in his hand.
Not to mention the rice fish, most of them are carp, there are also some catfish, snakehead fish, and even a small turtle. If you go home and cook a pot of chili and peppercorns, you will definitely be hungry for rhubarb.
Speaking of rhubarb, Rhubarb is wagging its tail at the moment, squatting on the ridge of the field, eagerly staring at any fish that have slipped through the rice field.
Just now, it pulled out a small turtle from the mud with its paws. Unfortunately, it was snatched away by its little owner. Let¡¯s see if we can catch something else to enjoy.
The water in the rice field had just been drained by He Fan, and it all flowed through the gap into the small pond where the fruit trees were watered.
Therefore, it is basically clear at a glance what good products there are.
The only fish and shrimp that escape the net have to hide in the mud, but sooner or later they will all be caught.
A grass shrimp jumped out of the mud in the field after the water was released. The rhubarb was sneaky, and a dog's paw pressed it on the ground, then held it in its mouth and ran over with a smile!
This grass shrimp is really not small, it looks like half a catty. It is considered the king of shrimps in the rice fields. He Fan even looked a little red-eyed when he saw it:
¡°Mom sells batches of rhubarb. She can even catch shrimps.¡±
In the breeze, the young man chased the yellow dog: "Dahuang, let go of the dog's mouth and put down the prawn!"
after a little while.
There was a burst of smoke from the fields, and the boy and the yellow dog were grabbing the fragrant grilled shrimps and fish
¡¡
Rice has entered the yellow ripening stage and can be harvested at any time. However, when the water in the rice fields is drained, it will not dry up immediately. There is still a lot of water in the mud below.
You have to wait another week for harvesting, which will help the rice grains to be full and plump.
He Fan couldn't wait to taste the taste of steamed rice grown by Lingyu.
On the seventh day after the rice fields were drained of water, He Weihai finally said it was time to harvest.
" However, these seven or eight acres of rice fields have to be harvested. It will be difficult for He Fan's family of three to harvest them alone. They have to harvest them for several days in a row.
In the past, when rice was harvested, He Fan was in school, and He Weihai and his wife worked almost day and night with two sickles. It would take a week at a time to harvest all the rice.
Now there is only one more person, He Fan, and it will probably take several days.
He Fan is also a little worried. If he wants to pay you to harvest it, his father will definitely scold him.
But soon, he thought of someone, and a devilish smile appeared on his lips.
He took out his mobile phone and dialed the number directly. Soon, a lazy voice came from the other end: "Brother, what's the matter?"
Hearing Lin Guo¡¯s voice, He Fan immediately began to persuade:
¡°Young man, it¡¯s time for the organization to need you again!¡±
