The courtyard was crowded with people, all of them trembling with excitement.
Xia Li saw that the team members were focusing all their attention on the poured syrup, as if they were waiting for the sugar to come out, so he couldn't help but remind him: "This thing needs to be cooled before it can form lumps. You guys?" There's no point in waiting here.
Why don't you just do whatever you need to do first, and then come over and see when it's in pieces? "
Someone immediately shouted at the door: "It's okay, we're not afraid of waiting!
We all want to see if the sugar cane grown in our fields can be used to make sugar that is extremely expensive! "
"Yes, yes! We are not afraid of waiting, and we are not afraid of being late for a good meal!"
"It's just a matter of waiting for it to cool down. We can all afford to wait. If this sugar factory can really be built, even the grandchildren's generation in our village will benefit.
It’s just a short wait, we’re willing to do it! "
Xia Li:......
You are indeed willing, but I don’t want you to wait in my yard!
Usually when these people are not doing their jobs, wouldn't the captain rush out and shout that he would deduct their points, scaring them all away? Why hasn't the captain responded for so long today?
Xia Li glanced at the crowd, and slapped a large and small boy in the crowd who were laughing stupidly.
Oh, the captain is bringing his grandson over to watch the fun.
Like everyone else, he was not doing his job properly, so no wonder he didn't complain about deducting work points.
Xia Li:......
Forget it, just wait if you like.
Who hasn’t waited expectantly for the teacher to read out their grades when they were in school?
The people in the brigade were willing to wait, but Xia Li was not willing to wait.
She waved her hands to them and said, "Just let it cool down. If you want to wait, just wait here. I'll go back and study how to make a sugar press."
As soon as the team members heard that Xia Li was going to build a machine, their eyes suddenly lit up, each one more enthusiastic than the other, "Xia Zhiqing, go quickly, go quickly! Don't let us delay your work!"
"Do you need any help? Uncle, I don't have anything else. I just have a lot of strength and can carry things for you at any time!"
"Xia Zhiqing, my daughter is very handy! Do you need to bring tea and water and ask my daughter to help you?"
Xia Li looked at the team members who were huffing and puffing around her, wanting to hug her and rush into the room, and strategically took a step back.
She has trypophobia when humans rush towards her in groups, and this kind of "group swooping" is absolutely unacceptable!
Seeing these team members becoming more and more noisy, the captain frowned, pulled his neck and shouted: "Just stop for a while!
What do you guys know? Don't cause trouble for Xia Zhiqing!
Shut up, everyone, and don't disturb Xia Zhiqing!
A little baby needs a quiet environment to study, so why are you so noisy? ? "
After speaking, he looked at Xia Li, his expression immediately softened, and the criss-crossing folds on his face became kind.
"Xiao Xia, if you need something or are short of people, just tell me and I will send someone for you!"
Xia Li felt a row of small bumps growing on the back of her spine.
The day she first came to the brigade, didn't this guy ask her to call him Captain Lu?
Now I say “uncle, uncle” every day, which makes people get goosebumps all over their bodies.
Xia Li nodded to the captain and returned to the house.
Nowadays, among the three urgently needed machines for peeling sugar cane, extracting juice and boiling sugar, the most important one is the juicer.
There are many people in the team. Currently, sugar cane skin can be peeled by hand, and sugar can also be boiled by people.
Not to mention that sugarcane can be juiced without peeling it, that is a product of the industrial age.
With the engine she made out of scrap metal, it was already very difficult to squeeze a large amount of sugar cane meat, and it was impossible to carry the sugar cane skin with it.
Not even a large juicer that relies on pressing. It requires too many parts, and she can't get them all at her fingertips now.
You have to have money to find materials to build a more powerful engine.
Xia Li thought for a while and decided to get a juicer with rotating blades similar to the family juicers of later generations.
It doesn’t require much material and it’s not strenuous.
In fact, the production principle of a juicer is very simple. It is mainly divided into three structures, the base, the container for storing sugar cane, and the blade.
The main function of the base is to place the motor inside, which can be connected to the blade in the container where the sugar cane is placed to rotate to achieve the purpose of crushing the contents in the container.
Xia Li drew a rough design on the paper, then got up and went out to find the captain.
yard.
The captain was holding his hands behind his back, staring at the steaming reddish-brown syrup together with the others, with a serious face waiting for the syrup to dry and turn into sugar.
Seeing Xia Li coming to see him, he was still a little puzzled, "Does Xiao Xia need me to find someone to do something?"
Xia Li nodded and handed the blueprint in his hand to the captain.
"Can anyone make the wooden barrels above? Just as long as they don't leak.
If we don’t have a wooden barrel, we can only use our pickle jar, which is just a little heavy and inconvenient to move. "
There are a lot of strong laborers in the brigade, but there is no need to use them when there are ways to save trouble, and you have to cause trouble for others.
