Chapter 181 Rice Machine

   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 way of the inside, and she understood when Xiao Changyi said so.

only-

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

   Xiao Changyi responded lightly: "Hmm."

"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!"

  Three times more…

  Xiao Changyi's eyes flashed, it would be great if that was the case, but: "I can't 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.”

   "Do you still have to use a blacksmith?"

"Yeah, some parts need iron, such as the rollers and runners for threshing rice... Forget it, you can't understand it now, you'd better wait for me to draw it and see for yourself, then you don't have to tell me you can do it. clear."

"Um."

   Quietly remembered one thing: "Is iron expensive?" The wooden parts needed for the rice threshing machine are cheap, and this iron…

  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."

  Quiet immediately said: "Okay, I'll draw it for you when I go back."

  The matter of this rice threshing machine is urgent. She will use it next month. She has to get it out as soon as possible, so as to avoid the exhaustion of 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.

   "Auntie, uncle, why are you here?" Quiet was a little surprised.

Aunt Yun sighed heavily: "Xiao Lan is a naive person, how can you ask for money from your chicken, 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... Quiet, 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."

   said, the two of them really intend to kneel.

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

   It wasn't until they saw that Jingjing really took the 18 pennies, Aunt Yun and An Hegui breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

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

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