survival in the wilderness

Chapter 110
When Hua Hong goes out, she is always surrounded by people, begging her to help get some wheat seeds.

The bonus is absolutely unacceptable to this matter. Lin Yan has repeatedly emphasized that the wheat seeds must not be given away casually, and she must not hold back.

By the time Lin Yan packed up the wheat seeds, it was already mid-September.The matter in the field came to an end temporarily, and she went to the laboratory.

He went to Bai Chen's house first, but Lin Yan was not there, so Lin Yan went to Shi Zhi's place again.

"Are you finished?" Seeing Lin Yan, Shi Zhi was stunned for a moment before asking.

Lin Yan nodded, "Well, the wheat seeds have been processed, so I don't need to go to the fields to work. I'll come and see you, do you know where Bai Chen has gone?"

"I don't know. Everyone is busy. I'm making the roller you mentioned. I've already made a sample. It's small. You came just in time. Let's see the effect together."

The two were talking when Ye Cong came in, "Lin Yan, why are you here?"

"The work in the field is over, come here to work." Lin Yan rolled his eyes, "Why are you making such a fuss, it seems like I shouldn't be here."

Ye Cong hurriedly said: "I'm so surprised to see you, whoever told you not to come, we will all forget about you."

"Blame me." Lin Yan pointed to himself, "I have important things to do and I don't have time to come."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and talk about business." Shi Zhi walked towards the mill, "Come and have a look, I peeled some chestnuts and dried them, just to try the effect of the mill."

On a round stone plate, a cylindrical stone roller is fixed with a wooden frame, which looks very delicate.

Lin Yan stretched out his hand, touched it and praised: "That's right, this stone mill is made, and it will be convenient for threshing wheat in the future. After making the millstone, you don't have to worry about making flour. Quickly put the chestnuts on the millstone , I will push."

Lin Yan pushed the roller vigorously, thanking himself secretly that he had been working hard for half a year, and he had trained it, otherwise he wouldn't be able to push it.

Seeing that the stone roller rolled around and the chestnuts were crushed into flakes, Ye Cong picked up a piece, squeezed it lightly, and it turned into crumbs, "Not bad, as expected."

After Lin Yan turned around three times, the chestnuts were all crushed into small particles. She said, "Shi Zhi, if you push it a few more times, it should be crushed into powder."

Without saying a word, Shi Zhi rolled up his sleeves and pushed the roller to spin it quickly.

After a while, the chestnuts became fine crumbs.

Ye Cong brought a mesh sieve, and several of them transferred the crumbs to the sieve to pass through, and obtained finer hair chestnut powder.The large pieces on the sieve are put on the roller and rolled repeatedly.

After trying it out, it was confirmed that the roller was very successful. Lin Yan looked at Shi Zhi and Ye Cong, "You two are very capable, I will rely on you from now on."

"Of course, we are the smartest people." Ye Cong said happily, "However, we are still a little behind you."

Shi Zhi didn't think so, "Lin Yan just knows a lot, but that doesn't prove her intelligence." He felt that he was the smartest person.

"You're right, I have an inherent advantage." Lin Yan agreed.From her observations, she found that Shi Zhi has a high IQ and quick response, so she is a good seed.

When Bai Chen came back, several people were talking about how to make a millstone, trying to make a sample before the cold season came, and they could make a bigger one next year.

Lin Yan looked up to see Bai Chen, and said happily, "You're here, what are you doing here, you're covered in stains."

"Go to the papermaking workshop and change the ratio of the slurry." Bai Chen was a little surprised to see Lin Yan, "Why are you here?"

Shi Zhi and Ye Cong laughed.

Bai Chen didn't know why.

Lin Yan gave them a blank look, "Don't pay attention to them. Have you counted how many sheets of paper the workshop has produced this year and how much the pass rate can reach?"

Although yellow paper can be made, the yield is extremely low.It is very unstable. Some batches are half successful, and some batches are of poor quality. These problems continue to lead to no paper use.

Bai Chen plunged into the papermaking workshop and did it himself, but he couldn't control the whole process and couldn't guarantee the quality.

Speaking of this, Bai Chen pursed his lips, and said in a deep voice: "According to the statistics, the pass rate is less than 234%, and a total of [-] sheets of paper have been made so far. At the beginning, the first batch of finished products had a high rate, but the ones that were made later were not as good. That. I've been looking for the reason, but I haven't found it yet."

It was also the first batch of good quality, which gave Bai Chen enough confidence.Who ever thought that such good paper could never be made again.

The reality made Bai Chen gradually realize that in order to have a more stable output, every link must be refined.She has been delving into it, but without much progress.

Lin Yan smiled, "Don't be discouraged, since it can be done, it must be possible, but we haven't mastered the skills yet. Keep working hard, and we will definitely be able to do it."

Bai Chen nodded, "I won't give up."

She still remembered that Lin Yan's ambition was to use paper as the basis to print books, make banknotes, spread knowledge, and so on.

"Okay, in order to reward everyone, I brought you something good, go and call everyone."

Lin Yan picked up the small sack he brought and put it on the table.

"What is this?" Ye Cong said as he was about to reach out to open it.

"Go call someone." Lin Yan patted his hand away.

Ye Cong didn't care, he ran to find someone.

After half an hour, 11 people in the laboratory gathered together.

Lin Yun was pushing the mill, Shi Zhi and Bai Chen were passing through the sieve, and Lin Yan put the fine flour into the basin.

Shuisheng was the last one to arrive. He took root in the government office every day, and he had to go through countless accounts to calculate, and he was so busy that he was dizzy.

Seeing that everyone was busy, he said, "Is this flour?"

Hua Min laughed and said, "Yes, you recognized it immediately. This is the result of Lin Yan's half a year's labor, and he came here to reward us today. I can't wait."

"Me too. This flour looks delicate, so it shouldn't taste bad." Ye Cong said with a chuckle.

Everyone's faces were filled with smiles, and finally they could taste the flour that Lin Yan said.

Lin Yan said cheerfully: "Hong Ling is the most skillful, and cooks the best food. Today, she will make noodles for us."

The pots and pans in the experiment are all full of oil. Sometimes everyone gets busy and doesn't have time to go home to eat, so they just make a makeshift meal here.

Lin Yan brought seven or eight catties of wheat that could not be used as wheat seeds, just to enjoy it with them.

As the most trusted partner, you should receive special treatment.

Mao Mu replaced Lin Yun, walked like flying, pushed the roller, and said happily: "Hongling, hurry up, just wait to eat."

Everyone else laughed.

Said that it was Hong Ling who made the move, and everyone also helped. An hour later, the hot noodles were out of the pan and poured with hot oil. No one could bear the taste.They scrambled to pick up the bowl and put it in their mouths.

There are too many people, so we can only eat in turn.

Shi Zhi was the first to grab a bowl, and when he was done, he watched the people behind him eat.

After eating the oil-splashed noodles, they all felt that one bowl was not enough, and wanted to have a few more bowls, but unfortunately there was not so much flour.

At this moment, they all understood why Lin Yan was planting wheat in the field.
