Yaya also pointed excitedly and said: "Sister, sister, the threshing machine is here."
Zhao Jingru and Jian Jia also followed their gazes and saw the brand new big thing placed on the farmland.
No one dared to touch it for fear of getting it dirty or damaged.
Zhao Jingru had heard of this thing a long time ago, and it was said that it was designed by Youwang Li Zhao.
After the debugging is completed, immediately call for help.
Zhao Chun'e, the village chief's wife of Longmen Village, was quite courageous. She immediately walked towards the threshing machine with a lot of rice in her arms under the curious and watchful eyes of everyone.
They are also afraid of breaking things.
"Don't be afraid, just step on it! Yes, step on it, step on it quickly!"
The drum of the threshing machine started to turn.
Zhao Chun'e put the rice she was holding on the drum, and saw the golden rice flying out one after another, and finally hit the front baffle and fell into the barn.
The speed is amazing.
"so fast!"
"This is much faster than playing by hand."
"I'll try it too!"
Only those who have worked hard will understand the joy of new tools, because it is not just about liberating productivity.
Zhao Chun'e immediately felt that although she was a woman, she had strong planning skills.
"Come on, come on, arrange the manpower!"
Zhao Chun'e assigns tasks. A dedicated group of people needs to be rotated when pedaling. Some of the rest of the people need to continue to harvest the rice, and some of them need to thresh the harvested rice.
"Yaya!"
"Aunt, I'm here!" Yaya immediately ran over excitedly with Zhao Jingru.
"You guys just trample here, and when you're tired of trampling, can you hold the rice and thresh it?"
"Okay!" Yaya nodded immediately.
In fact, bending down to harvest rice is the most tiring thing, as everyone who has done it knows this.
Many people suffer from back pain. When harvesting rice, most of them bend over. Over time, their eyes will turn black. Because everyone does not have enough to eat, blood sugar levels are insufficient.
Yaya was the youngest, so Zhao Jingru didn't want her to be so tired, so she took the initiative to take over the job with Jianjia.
Everyone is excited to experiment with new tools.
They couldn't help but marvel.
Basically, when everyone has finished harvesting the rice in the fields, the millet has also been harvested.
Zhao Jingru, Jianjia and Yaya took turns stepping on each other, their legs were trembling until the end and they didn't obey orders at all.
"This isn't easy either!" Jian Jia muttered.
Hearing Jian Jia's words, Long Qin on the side shouted loudly: "You guys have never done farm work before."
Jianjia's face turned red, embarrassed.
"Do you know how we threshed rice before?" Long Qin gave her popular science: "We only had this square barn before. We had to hold the rice and beat it hard. Do you know how laborious it is? ?”
Some people cannot understand some things even if they are explained.
For example, Jian Jia and Zhao Jingru.
Because they have never been exposed to it, they feel tired and inconvenient after doing it for so long.
But Long Qin and others don't think so, because compared with the previous threshing, this is simply countless times more convenient.
The key is that people are not tired and the speed is fast.
Those rice ears that have been removed must be piled again.
These rice ears (straws) are also of great use.
In the end, Long Qin directly took Zhao Jingru and Jianjia's master and servant to try a few times on how to thresh the grains before. Only then did they realize how tiring the previous threshing process was.
The effort alone was several times that of what it is now.
If this person doesn't eat enough, he won't be able to work for half an hour before he loses his strength.
Zhao Jingru and Jian Jia had only been working for a while, but their eyes were already black and their head was dizzy.
Only when you try some things yourself will you know that even a slight improvement can be enough to break people's heads.
Dang Dang Dang——
noon!
The sound of gongs and drums sounded, and everyone was already hungry.
However, after hearing the gong sound of eating, everyone's face was filled with joy.
Zhao Jingru and Jian Jia also led Yaya to the place to eat.
They have never been so hungry as they are today, especially when they are waiting, the feeling is even more uncomfortable.
Many people were happy and said they had made a lot of money just by eating these two meals.
The queue was very long, but no one jumped in line and everything was very orderly.
There was a faint fragrance coming from the front, and Zhao Jingru felt that her chest was pressed against her back due to hunger.
Finally it was her turn. She saw the food on the plate, and for some reason, she suddenly thought of Kyoto.
I heard that His Highness Prince You is also a great gourmet.
The hot crayfish is his masterpiece.
Zhao Jingru looked at the dinner plate in her hand, looking a little dazed. There was a pile of rice on the plate, along with some green vegetables, a bowl of soup and meat that made her appetite increase just by looking at it.
The meat is bright in color, and even the soup is rich and can be soaked in rice.
The fragrance penetrated into the nostrils, and Zhao Jingru and Jian Jia quickly swallowed their saliva.
They couldn't tell whether the food was too tempting or they were just too hungry.
Maybe, both!
Everyone found a place to squat. Although Zhao Jingru and Jian Jia were adapting as much as possible, they were still not used to it.
In the countryside, this is how everyone squats down to eat, and there is no habit of sitting at the table.
Zhao Jingru looked over and saw that everyone was burying their heads and not speaking. Only occasionally when they raised their heads, they showed a look of embarrassment, shy and cute.
They ate happily and quickly, without any regard for etiquette.
This was different from the education Zhao Jingru received, but she was also very hungry and didn't pay any attention to it.
When a bite of meat is put into your mouth, it doesn't feel greasy at all, as if it melts in your mouth.
Taking another bite of rice and putting it into her mouth, she felt that she had finally found the joy of eating.
The soup was egg soup, which she didn't like to drink before.
But today I felt it was particularly delicious and delicious, as if my taste buds were opened all at once.
Jian Jia's eyes lit up. She wanted to give the meat in her bowl to Zhao Jingru. She didn't want her princess to go hungry.
"What are you doing?" At this time, Li Qingwei happened to come over and shouted sharply when he saw her behavior.
Everyone looked at each other in unison, Jianjia was too frightened to speak.
"Eat your own food. If you are not full, you can add more." Li Qingwei glared at Jian Jia: "You feel sorry for her. Who will feel sorry for you when you are hungry?"
Jian Jia was stunned, her eyes were red.
She is just a servant, of course she has to take care of the princess.
Although Li Qingwei was vicious, she knew that Li Qingwei had good intentions.
Zhao Jingru immediately showed an apologetic smile and said: "Eat quickly!"
At this moment, Zhao Jingru was deeply touched psychologically.
This meal made her feel heart-warming, but also heart-wrenching.
She ate every morsel of the food, and her stomach felt very full.
"Miss!"
"It's okay." Zhao Jingru comforted her softly: "You won't be allowed to do this again in the future."
"Oh." Jian Jia lowered her head, a little embarrassed: "Miss, His Highness Prince You is a very nice person."
Zhao Jingru looked at Jian Jia and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Jian Jia tilted her head, clasped her fingers and said, "One penny can only buy three eggs, which is almost as good as the price of rice at the market!"
"Also, I just took a look, and there are a lot of eggs in the egg soup. With so many people eating, just one meal would consume 6,000 eggs. That's two thousand dollars."
"Not counting other things, if you want to calculate it down, the cost of each meal that King You prepares for everyone is at least fifteen to twenty guans, and at least 30 to 40 guans are spent on food a day. It will cost at least 900 yuan a month!"
"Isn't this good?"
