This time, Luo Yong drew the drawings of this threshing machine as thoroughly and meticulously as possible.
It is very different from the mentality that when I gave Heng Yu the bicycle drawing, it doesn't matter even if I fail. This time, Luo Yong is determined to win this threshing machine.
Heng Zhi got this drawing and went into seclusion alone. He was stuck in their yard all day and didn't come out. The Xu family knew that he was making something for Luo Yong recently. Seeing that he hadn't come to eat, he would often ask the children at home to send some food.
Although both Luo Yong's disciples, the current financial conditions of Hengyu's family are much better than those of other disciples' families. Hengzhi also has money, and he can afford it even if he completely eats and lives in the Xu family's house.
But after all, he is a child who is grown up from an ordinary family. He is used to being frugal. This time he came to Xipo Village, he still lives in the yard built by everyone before. He eats in the Xu family's hotel, and he doesn't eat too much.
Heng Yu thought that everyone was lent money to drive a car manufacturer for him, and no matter who had something to do, he never refused to let it go.
Although there is a gap between the rich and the poor, the relationship between everyone is still very good. Many disciples take Hengyu and others as role models, work hard and study, and hope that one day they can make their mark like them.
Hengzhi was in seclusion in that yard for two days alone. Heng Yu, who received the news, rushed over and lived in Xipo Village. He thought about this foot-stitched threshing machine with his son. His family was in the car manufacturing business in the county town, so he let Heng Yu's eldest son Henghuai watch.
In fact, no matter where Heng Yuheng and the two fathers stayed, their car manufacturer was basically running Henghuai alone. He and his brother obviously didn't have much interest in doing business.
This time, in the words of the Heng family and his son, this foot-stitching threshing machine should be a little simpler than Yan Erfei and is not difficult to do. It is just that the sticks and small parts of the drum are pushed and pulled during the foot-stitching process. It is best to choose iron.
Nowadays, their economic conditions are not as good as before. Although the price of iron products is relatively high, neither the Heng family nor Luo Yong will be stumped by this little money.
The other parts are mainly made of wood and bamboo structures. Luo Yong's foot-stitching threshing machine as seen before. The U-shaped teeth on the roller are basically made of iron. According to the opinions of the Heng family and his son, this part can be replaced by diamond bamboo.
Shizhu grows slowly. When the new bamboo branches are just pulled out, they are as thin as bean sprouts. They may not grow to the thickness of their thumbs after five or six years. This time the bamboo branches they want to use are about the thickness of chopsticks. They have generally grown for more than three years and are relatively strong.
The process takes a lot of time and effort to bake these bamboo branches into arcs and then fix them to the wooden boards that make up the rollers.
The Heng father and son did their jobs very meticulously. Their U-shaped bamboo teeth were arranged so neatly and staggered. Luo Yong felt sorry for them for time.
"The bamboo teeth may not have to be arranged so neatly, just make it almost the same." Luo Yong's foot-type threshing machine he had seen in some rural areas before, and the iron teeth on the drum fell off better, and it was not used as usual.
"..." The Heng family and his son turned their heads and looked at him, with an expression of how could you say that.
"It's okay, you guys do it slowly, I'll go to the slope to take a look." So, being disgusted, Luo Sanlang touched his nose and went to the slope to see his corn seedlings.
To be ashamed, although he first brought back the seeds of these corn from the 21st century, this was the first time he planted the corn himself. A few days ago, when the Censor Wu made Luo Yong a little worried, for fear that he would plant all the corn to death by accident. At that time, the person named Wu would not be able to exercise his energy.
Fortunately, corn is really easy to plant. As of now, these corn seedlings grow very well. Of course, this has something to do with Luo Yong's disciples and the villagers of Xipo Village who often come to water and fertilize them. Everyone is also worried, for fear that this carefree Luo Sanlang would plant all the corns to death by accident. What would be better if the Emperor blamed him?
"Why are you here?" Luo Yong had just climbed up the hillside and saw that Goro was pulling weeds in the field. I don't know how many groups of people were coming to this field every day. The weeds were pulled so that there were only a few left. What was he pulling?
"I'll pull the weeds." Goro put the two small tender grass in his hand on the ridge of the field and threw it aside.
Luo Yong wanted to say that you are too partial. There are so many weeds in other fields that you can't pull them up, so you can't get through with a few small tender grasses. But thinking about it will not hurt this kid's enthusiasm. If he wants to pull them up, just pull them up.
Recently, Goro and the others went back to Xiaohe Village to attend class, and they went to class every morning and in the afternoon.
According to the people in Xiaohe Village, they planned to start building roads immediately after the spring sowing. After they built this road, it would be much more convenient for Wulang and his friends to get out of school every day, and it would be much more convenient for people in Xiaohe Village to travel to Xipo Village than before.
"Brother, do you think corn tastes delicious?" Unlike adults' awesome love for the Sixth Valley, Goro is obviously more concerned about the taste of corn.
"It should be done." The tender corn on the cob is still delicious, and it is even more delicious when baked with some honey.
"Brother, are our family not growing rice this year?" After asking about corn, the kid was concerned about rice again.
A few days ago, the Ma brothers came to Luo Yong to talk about Chameng rice seeds, and then Luo Yong sold all the seeds in the family to them. The price was not expensive. Generally speaking, the Ma brothers took advantage of it.
"We don't have seeds anymore, so we won't plant this year. Xu Dalang and the others still have seeds. When they plant them, I will come back from them evenly." Luo Yong said.
"Come back to make seeds?" Goro asked.
"Get evenly back and cook." Luo Yong said with a smile.
"Oh." Goro was happy now. He could have rice again this fall. I felt that he would have hope for more than half a year later.
As for the feathers, everyone has stock in their hands. Luo Yong bought a few of them a few days ago. Now he has taken them all and plans to process them all.
In the past few days, villagers nearby heard that they wanted the big feathers on the goose wings, so some villagers tried to sell them here, but they didn't expect that they really got a good price for them.
The men of Xu's house are all rich, so they are naturally not very stingy to those villagers who come here to sell feathers. Generally, better goose feathers can be sold for one penny, and slightly worse ones can be sold for one penny together.
Each goose can be sold for several cents by selling those big feathers, which is almost the same as a pie falling from the sky for the villagers. So recently, there have been more and more people who hatch goose seedlings and raise goose boys.
Luo Yong wondered if he could start buying Gooseberry.
At this time, there were many people raising geese at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. Ducks are rare here. Gooseblins and goose feathers were used to keep warm in winter. Poor families did not have fine fabrics, and they always had hairs wrapped in coarse cloth. They were not very good to use. Most wealthy families do not use them. They mostly use cotton, that is, silk.
