dream village

"Everyone can go ashore to drink water or eat bad food if their mouths are dry. If they are hungry, they can eat some sweet potato balls as a base. Let's take a breath and work hard before the sun is too strong." Zhang Tao shouted road.

After shouting, Zhang Tao saw that no one had gone ashore to rest. It seemed that everyone's combat effectiveness was not bad and they could continue to fight.

He looked again, why are they all sitting on the ridge of the field with their heads slanted, panting like dead dogs?Is it so hard?It seems that he usually fights, fights, fights, and stays awake for three days and three nights, and his spirit is very good. Now he can only work for less than an hour, so he is so tired?

There is a saying in the countryside, serve people's bowls and obey others.Since you came here to help me with something, you have to do it hard and don't waste your time.Zhang Tao immediately arranged things mercilessly.

"Which one of you has carried the burden?" Zhang Tao asked.

"I picked it, but I can't afford it because it's too heavy." Ma Liang and Wu Bang replied one after another.

"Brother Tao, I can also pick, but I have to pick the basket." The fat man said while pointing to the small basket on the bank.

This is specially prepared for a weak girl like Mengfang, such a basket is only more than 50 catties full of grain, thanks to the fat man who can say it, he wants to grab Mengfang's burden, thanks to the fact that he always keeps saying Be a man yourself.

There was booing all around.Zhang Tao gave Fatty a contemptuous look, and didn't even bother to reply, so he just ignored him.

"Gaozi, you will take Ma Ge and Angkor to my house to deliver the grain. Mengzi, you and I step on the threshing machine. Fatty packs grain from the barrel. The three of you, Gun Lao, Niach, and Mao Mao, continue to kill grain." Zhang Tao continued to arrange things.

"What about me?" Xueer and Nana asked anxiously when they saw that nothing was arranged for them.

"Can you still do it? You look like you can't stand it anymore." Zhang Tao said with concern.These words seem to be concerned on the surface, but in fact they are aggressive.He had already arranged things for the two of them in his heart, and it was only suitable for them to do this.

"Then what's the matter? Can this matter be exhausted? Don't worry! Brother Tao, it's okay!" Nana said carelessly.Following Xueer also expressed the same meaning.

Zhang Tao thought hard for a while on purpose and said, "Okay then! Just cross the river!"

Zhang Tao and Gao Zi carried the threshing machine to the field and set it down, and put the four boards on it.Get ready to start threshing rice.Generally speaking, it is best to configure five people for rice threshing.Two grown-ups threshed millet on a rice threshing machine.One person took the rice out of the threshing machine bucket with a bamboo skimmer, and then carried it to the shore with a basket.The task of the other two people is to carry the rice stalks and send them to the two people who are stepping on the rice threshing machine.In this way, when the threshing person knocks out the rice stalk in his hand, he does not need to take it by himself, but can continue to threat directly, which can keep the threshing machine running at a high speed and make the most of the time.

"Mengzi, stand aside and observe how Gaozi and I fight before you go up." After a pause, Zhang Tao said again: "Fatty, come and learn, you will definitely be able to fight after a while."

After speaking, Zhang Tao then taught Nana and Xueer how to cross the river.He demonstrated and said: "Look, your work is very simple. It is something for children to cross the crops here. You just stand by the pile of rice and put the crossed rice together. Pass the handle to the threshing person, and make sure that their hands are not empty. Two special points to note are that you should not mix the small handful of rice into one pile, otherwise it will take time and effort to separate them again. One thing is that when you cross the grain, you should send the roots forward, not the ears of rice, so that the thresher can pick it up and start threshing."

After Luo Li finished talking, Zhang Tao and Gao Zi stepped on the pedals of the threshing machine, and the rolling center of the threshing machine turned rapidly, making a whimpering sound.The whistle pierced the silence of the morning and spread far away.

This traditional and outdated full-foot threshing machine is widely used in Zhang Tao Village.This kind of threshing machine needs to keep stepping on the pedal up and down. Once it stops, the rolling center in the warehouse will stop rotating, and the millet on the rice ears is threshed by the rotating force of the rolling center.The threshing machines in many places outside are equipped with motors, and the belts are used to drive the rolling centers to rotate through electricity, which saves time and effort, and is much faster.Not to mention those who use small harvesters. For a poor and backward place like Zhang Tao, and every household grows dried tofu, such a thing is simply an unattainable dream.

Xue'er was in a good position early, and happened to cross the grain for Zhang Tao. Of course, Nana had to reluctantly cross the grain for Gao Zi.In fact, this matter was played by Zhang Tao. He only stood on the pedal of the threshing machine after seeing Xueer and Nana standing on the left and right sides, and he stood on Xueer's side seemingly casually.It can also be seen from this small incident that Xue'er still holds a greater weight in his heart.

Zhang Tao and Gao Zi took over the rice and stuffed the ears of rice into the bin. The grains of millet on the ears of rice were quickly detached from the ears of rice under the rotating force of the rolling center until the grains on the ears of rice were all gone. When it is almost done, throw the bare straw to the side of the threshing machine.

Xue'er and Nana now know that crossing the river is not so easy.If the rice pile is close, you can just stand still and grab the rice and send it up.If the rice pile is a bit far away, you have to run a few steps back and forth in the mud field with one deep foot and one shallow foot.

With the rapid rotation of the machine, Zhang Tao and Gao Zi's threshing speed became faster and faster. Xueer and Nana were so busy that they didn't even have time to wipe off their sweat, and splashed a lot of mud on their faces and bodies, but they still followed Not following Zhang Tao's rhythm, they had to press the pedals from time to time and wait for them to deliver the rice.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Tao shouted, "Fatty, Mengzi, move the three piles of rice in front of the threshing machine to our feet, so that they can cross the grain." Now, and can keep up with Zhang Tao's threshing speed.

The soon-to-be-threshed straws were piled high on both sides of the threshing machine, and the grains in the machine barrel were a little bit rolled.

Zhang Tao then shouted to Meng Zi who had been standing aside eager to try, "Meng Zi, come and try!"

After getting off the pedal, he walked around behind the threshing machine, and shouted to the dumbfounded fat man, "Fatty, come here! I'll teach you how to get out of the warehouse."

The fat man was very upset when he saw that Zhang Tao didn't call him to thresh the grain. He muttered in his mouth, and it took a long time before he walked to Zhang Tao's side.

"Fatty, don't make a fool of yourself, you will trade with Mengzi for a while. And the matter of getting out of the warehouse is also very important. Ordinary people may not be able to do it well." Zhang Tao said comfortingly.
