After coming out of Lin Wanwan's dormitory, he saw that it was almost noon, so Zhou Yang decided to go to the collective kitchen of the educated youth spot first.
After all, Lin Wanwan's parents were here, and the food problem was finally solved first.
Coming outside the kitchen, Zhou Yang saw the female educated youth Li Lan busy in the kitchen!
Since the vast majority of male educated youths do not know how to cook, it was agreed at the Educated Youth Point that male and female educated youths would eat together, and the female educated youths would take turns cooking.
Li Lan is from Jincheng. She is the kind of girl who can work in the hall and in the kitchen. She is also recognized as the best cook in the entire educated youth area.
When nothing happens, she basically cooks for everyone.
Hearing the footsteps, Li Lan raised his head and looked up.
After discovering that it was Zhou Yang, he hurriedly said hello: "Zhou Zhiqing, why are you here when you are free?"
Zhou Yang smiled and said: "Li Zhiqing, Lin Zhiqing's parents are here today, please cook more!"
"Okay! In fact, I heard it at that time and did more!"
"What are we going to eat today? Is there any food left for the educated youth?" Zhou Yang asked again.
"Wild vegetable pancakes, a stew!"
Then Li Lan continued: "There is still some food, but not much. If it weren't for the food sent by Lin Zhiqing, we should have stopped long ago!"
"Well, the sickle has been opened, and the life-sustaining rations will be distributed soon. Then everyone can eat freely!" Zhou Yang said.
"Um!"
After settling down for Father Lin and Mother Lin's lunch, Zhou Yang returned to Warehouse No. 4!
Then he called Lin Yi, Cui Qianjin, Bai Yang, Xu Siping and others and rushed to the threshing floor.
After arriving at the threshing floor, Zhou Yang first checked the summer oats brought back in the morning.
It was found that although the oats (wheat ears) were still a little damp, the moisture on the straw had basically dried up.
It's just a test anyway, so it doesn't matter if the sun exposure isn't perfect.
At that moment, he started the diesel engine with the crank, and then put on the belt until the drum in the threshing machine started running at high speed.
Then, Zhou Yang took the summer oatmeal from Xu Siping and stuffed it in through the feed opening.
As soon as the summer oatmeal was stuffed in, it was rolled in by the high-speed rotating roller.
As a low roar came from the threshing machine, a pile of oatmeal straws were seen flying out from the front of the threshing machine, and from a hole below, a pile of oatmeal feathers and husks fell out. Scrapy stuff.
Zhou Yang was not in a hurry to see the effect of threshing, but continued to stuff summer oats inside.
After a while, half a cart of summer oats was taken off.
Afterwards, Zhou Yang turned off the diesel engine and checked the threshing effect.
Zhou Yang casually grabbed a handful of straw that had been stripped of grains, and carefully inspected the fruit-hanging area on it.
The first oatmeal plant was basically completely removed, with not a single oatmeal left on it.
The second plant had one grain, but when it was peeled off, it turned out to be green grains, which were obviously not yet mature.
The third strain...
After checking it, Zhou Yang happily said to Lin Yi: "Brother Lin, the effect is very good, even better than expected!"
Lin Yi also laughed and said: "That's good. With this experience, I will give our farm another one when I go back!"
"I think it will work. With this thing, we can save at least one-third of the labor force!" Zhou Yang said.
"I can't help but see that besides oats, this thing can also remove wheat and millet!"
"Yeah! It's just a pity that the grain and impurities cannot be separated. The extracted grains need to be "winned" manually!" Zhou Yang said with some pity.
"Actually, it's easy. You just need to add a blower inside to blow out the impurities. But we don't have those equipment." Lin Yi said.
"Haha, let's make do with it first!"
"Um!"
The experimental results of the threshing machine were very good. Zhou Yang immediately notified the members who were harvesting summer oats in the field and asked them to cut down the summer oats and immediately bring them back to the threshing floor for drying.
As long as it is almost drying, you can start threshing.
After learning the news, the whole oats field burst into cheers!
The smooth production of the threshing machine is definitely a happy thing for the entire Babaoliang Village.
You must know that in the past, grain threshing was definitely a big project, because the traditional milling method was used for threshing, which required the grain to be completely dried before it could be carried out. Not only was it troublesome, but it was also risky.
After all, the autumn harvest season here in Saibei coincides with the rainy season of the year, and heavy rains often hit right after the crops are cut down here.
Under such circumstances, grains can easily become moldy and sprout due to heavy rains.
But it’s different with a threshing machine. Although mechanical threshing also requires drying, it doesn’t need to be so dry. It only takes two or three days at most.
Not only does it improve production efficiency, it also saves time and reduces risks.
.......
After testing the threshing machine, Lin Yi led people to pull the machine back and make some adjustments to the details.
Xu Siping led people to clean up the oats that had fallen out, while Zhou Yang returned home.
As soon as I got home, I saw that my mother had already prepared a meal.
Steamed buns, stewed vegetables, and a bowl of steamed egg custard!
As soon as I entered the door, my mother greeted me: "Hurry up and wash your hands and eat. After eating, you still have to deliver food to your wife!"
"OK!"
Zhou Yang immediately took the basin to the yard to wash up, while his mother brought the food to the dining area.
After finishing his meal in a hurry, Zhou Yang took the food packed by his mother and a pot of sugar water, and prepared to go to the oatmeal field.
But the little girl insisted on going along!
Originally, Zhou Yang was worried about Bao'er's heat stroke considering that the sun at noon was so poisonous.
But the little one didn't listen at all. She just meant that she missed her mother!
In desperation, Zhou Yang could only put a big straw hat on her head, and then took her little hand and rushed to the fields.
On the oat field, all the members, including Li Youwei, were waving sickles and busy harvesting the oats!
Everyone's clothes were soaked with sweat, but no one complained about hardship, only the joy of harvest.
You must know that from the plowing of the ground after last autumn's harvest, to the manure application and sowing this spring, to the hoeing and watering of the ground in the summer, we have worked hard for more than half a year for the current harvest.
What's more, everyone knows that these summer oats are life-sustaining food. After they are taken back, they will be distributed directly to the members.
Everyone has been eating wild vegetables and mixed noodles for several months, and many of them can hardly hold on any longer and are eager to have a pure grain meal.
In this way, the enthusiasm for working is different!
At this moment, someone shouted: "Xiaowei, your man is here!"
Li Youwei looked up to the ground and saw two familiar figures, one large and one small.
The big one holds a bamboo basket in his hand and the small one on his shoulder.
The younger one wore a big straw hat on his head. As he walked, a small hand kept tinkering with the older one's head.
Seeing such a heartwarming scene, Li Youwei couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a sweet smile.
Then, she put down the sickle in her hand and walked towards Zhou Yang and Bao'er!
