Chapter 135 Promotion of the threshing machine
The next morning, the sun had just risen and the morning dew had not yet dried, the threshing ground was crowded with people inside and outside, surrounding the small threshing ground. The scene was a little more lively than the autumn harvest festival in the previous few days.
During the autumn harvest festival, most of the Zhang clan members attended by Zhang Li were male. Although the scene was very solemn, the number of people was less than a hundred. However, there were more than 200 men, women, young and old in the venue. From a distance, there were a large group of people.
Looking at the familiar faces present, Zhang Ran felt quite pleased. This is the most intuitive manifestation of his strategy to benefit the people in recent years!
You know, now is the most critical period of autumn harvest, and every minute and every second is very precious to the people of Zhangli.
In other words, Zhang Ran has done a lot of good facts for the people of Zhangli recently, and his prestige has increased greatly, and his words have gained some weight. Otherwise, who would have put down his work in his fields during such busy farming and listen to him, a young boy, say, "Why do you want to use a grain machine?"
Standing on the open space in the middle of the crowd, Zhang Ran bent down to get a bunch of ears of grain, smiled at everyone around him, and then said aloud: "First of all, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to listen to my nagging. However, the purpose of my gathering everyone today is not for chatting, so let's get to the point!
Below I will introduce to you the grinding machine I invented recently!
...
Don’t look at this sauna machine, but it’s actually very good!
After more than two days of attempts, we finally confirmed that it can thresh at least twenty acres of millet in a day! That is to say, you can thresh twenty acres of millet a day!"
"Twenty acres! My God..."
"Isn't this twenty times faster than threshing in flails? Really or false?"
"Is this impossible?"
......
A stone caused a thousand sensations. When Zhang Ran announced in public that his grinding machine could make twenty acres of millet a day, the scene suddenly became an uproar. Everyone could not believe that the "sacred object" in this world could make twenty acres of millet one day. So Zhang Ran, who was looking suspiciously at the center of the crowd.
Listening to the discussions of the villagers around him, Zhang Ran smiled and said, "The rig is here. Everyone wants to know if it's really just a glance!"
After saying that, Zhang Ran turned to Sankui who was sitting on the bamboo stool beside him and said, "Sankui, let's start!"
"Okay!"
Sankui agreed happily, then raised his feet and stepped on the wooden sticks on both sides of the gears, and quickly kicked his feet.
When the roller of the grinding machine began to rotate quickly, Zhang Ran reached out and placed the ears of grain above the roller... So a magical scene appeared, and under the action of the roller, the ears of grains began to quickly separate!
In less than a minute, the ears of grain in Zhang Ran's hand became a bunch of clean straw, and small piles of shelled grains appeared in front of the grinding machine.
Then, Zhang Ran bent down and picked up a bunch of granites, repeating the movement just now, and soon the bunch of granites was also beaten into grains.
And it took only less than five minutes in total, and the speed was very fast!
"It's actually possible!"
"It's God, it's God! Brother Ran didn't lie to us!"
"So quickly... I kind of believe that this thing can make twenty acres of millet a day!"
......
When I saw the threshing speed of the threshing machine with my own eyes, most of the people present were extremely shocked! I couldn't even believe that just such an ordinary wooden rack had such magical effects!
"Ahem~ Please be quiet!"
At this moment, Zhang Ran coughed twice and suddenly said to the villagers who were talking loudly: "Now you still see the effect of the grinding machine. Next, I will explain to you how to make this grinding machine!"
"The method of making a grease machine!!"
"Does Brother Ran teach everyone how to make this grinding machine?"
When everyone thought of this, their eyes suddenly lit up and their breathing became a little rapid. They couldn't help but cover their mouths, and they no longer dared to make any sounds. They looked at Zhang Ran nervously and expectantly.
Seeing that everyone finally calmed down, Zhang Ran nodded with satisfaction, then pointed to the ripping machine in front of him and explained to everyone carefully: "First of all, the ripping machine I invented is made of wood, and it mainly consists of three parts! They are frames, rollers, and gears!"
"This frame is very simple, it is made of a few pieces of wood. Everyone just needs to do it according to the appearance of this grinding machine!"
"The next one is the roller! The way to do this roller is..."
"The gears at the end,..."
......
As Zhang Ran explained step by step, the villagers present roughly understood the production steps of Zhang Ran's grinding machine. Even if they didn't understand it very well, it didn't matter. With this grinding machine in the grinding farm, everyone just needs to copy it and do it accordingly!
Moreover, Zhang Ran has made a very generous promise to everyone that this threshing machine will be placed in the threshing farm in the future. Anyone can come and watch it at any time. If you have anything you don’t understand, you can also ask Zhang Meng or him Zhang Ran for advice.
After observing the magical effects of the grinding machine in person and getting the production method of the grinding machine from Zhang Ran, who can still sit there?
So everyone suppressed the excitement in their hearts, stepped forward and expressed their gratitude to Zhang Ran, and then ran back into the village!
......
In just half a day, the trend brought by the grinding machine spread in Zhangli at an incredible speed. The villagers of Zhangli put down their farm work, took out axes, chisels and other items from their homes, and began to try to make grinding machine according to the method taught by Zhang Ran.
As for those who do not have tools like chisels at home, they also seek help from their relatives and friends, or cooperate with two or three companies, or simply contact Zhang Ran or Zhang Meng, and borrow the tools they made to make grease machines from both of them.
Wood is not all over the place in Zhangli, but basically every household has some, so there is no shortage of materials. In addition, the method of making grinding machines is not very difficult. As long as you know a little bit of carpenter work, you can basically make it the same. Moreover, if three or four of them work together, the speed may be faster!
So by the next day, almost seventy households in Zhangli, including Zhang Li's family, basically everyone had a wheat-making machine invented by Zhang Ran!
