Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 896 Processing Grain

Zhang Yu's eyes lit up when he saw one of the functions. Could this one replace the wheat threshing machine to thresh wheat?

Zhang Yu just accidentally turned to the page about the rice wine brewing function of the automatic brewing machine. It clearly marked a cleaning function.

When the machine was new, he tried to make rice wine once. At that time, he thought he needed rice. Later, he followed the machine's prompts and learned that he could just put whole rice into it.

After the whole rice is placed inside, the machine will automatically remove and screen the rice, and then beat the rice into rice.

In order to test whether it could be used, Zhang Yu cut some wheat from the field next to him and put it in whole.

After running for less than two minutes, the machine extended two openings, with wheat straw coming out on one side and wheat grains on the other side.

Zhang Yu stretched out his hand and took a look. The wheat grains were clean without any impurities.

Now take it out and grind it. You probably don’t need to wash it in water anymore.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu was extremely excited. This meant that when he harvested wheat in the future, he would no longer have to work hard to build a wheat field, nor would he have to harvest it, dry it, and then roll it with a big roller over and over again. There is no need to get the chaff all over your body and itchy in order to release the impurities in the wheat.

In the future, he only needs to use his consciousness to harvest the wheat and put it directly into the automatic brewing machine. Using only the previous step, he can thresh the wheat.

After developing this new function, Zhang Yu was in a very good mood. Before the novelty wore off, he quickly took out the wheat that had been piled in the warehouse for the past two years and threshed it.

As for the wheat straw, throw it into the pig pen first. The pigs can eat it if they like it. If they don't want to eat it, they can take it out another day.

After successfully developing the new function of the automatic brewing machine, Zhang Yu became more interested. After thinking for a long time, he pulled out the manual of the automatic brewing machine from a corner.

He took the manual and looked at it bit by bit, trying to find more functions that could be used.

The hard work paid off, and he soon discovered another function. When brewing some wine, in order to make it easier to ferment, it needs to be crushed.

According to the description in the instruction manual, the degree of grinding can be arranged by the machine or manually adjusted.

Zhang Yu poured the wheat he had just ground back into the grinding port, then adjusted the grinding function to the maximum, and then got a batch of whole wheat flour.

This kind of whole wheat flour may be too rough in the eyes of later generations, but in the 60s, it was a good thing, and the key was not very conspicuous.

If you really can't get used to it, you can sift it to remove the bran ground inside. It's no worse than the 85-year-old and 90-year-old flour currently available on the market.

But since this machine can process flour, can it also...

Thinking so, Zhang Yu set his sights on Corn.

Three hours later, after some tossing, Zhang Yu finally obtained 300 kilograms of sifted flour, 500 kilograms of cornmeal, and more than kilograms of sifted bran.

In order to make it less conspicuous, Zhang Yu did not sift it so much. Compared with the flour in later generations, the flour in his hand will be slightly grayer.

But that’s all that’s available on the market now.

According to market opinion, he is considered a 90-year-old fan.

However, after comparison, Zhang Yu was very sure that the 100 jin noodles on the market, which means jins of noodles from jins of wheat and jins of bran, were not as delicate as the noodles in his hands. After careful comparison, the flour in his hand is probably about the same as the flour, or even better.

This may also be related to the fact that the wheat grown in his space has been improved by him over a long period of time.

Compared with the wheat varieties at this time, the varieties improved by Zhang Yu through spatial flow velocity have a higher flour extraction rate.

Zhang Yu took out the cloth bags he had prepared in advance and packed the flour into 20-jin bags one by one. As for the cornmeal, he packed it into 50-jin bags.

In the end, a total of 25 bags of large and small were packed, but Zhang Yu did not intend to take them out all together, especially the flour. He only planned to take out five bags.

Keep one bag for yourself and put it on the bright side, then leave two bags for my sister-in-law and the others, give one bag to Director Wu, and give the last bag to the old housekeeper and his wife when they go to pay New Year's greetings in two days.

As for the cornmeal, Zhang Yu was ready to take out more.

After calculating, Zhang Yu patted the flour on his body, then turned around and left the space.

After leaving the space, Zhang Yu first went to his sister-in-law's house. After looking around, he found an empty wooden box. This wooden box was used by his sister-in-law to store quilts in the summer. In winter, all the quilts were taken out, so the box was temporarily empty. .

Zhang Yu wanted to stuff the two bags of cornmeal and two bags of flour prepared for his sister-in-law's family into the box. Halfway through, he found that they couldn't fit in, so he had to take out the flour and temporarily put it in the cabinet.

As for what was prepared for Director Wu, Zhang Yu put it at his home first, and would tell him when he met Director Wu one day.

After putting it away, Zhang Yu locked the door of his sister-in-law's house.

There is so much food at home, so I have to be careful.

Zhang Yu turned around and returned to his home. Looking at the chickens and fish hanging in the storage room, Zhang Yu felt extremely satisfied.

But when talking about the Chinese New Year, Zhang Yu thought of his grandparents, uncle, and others who were far away in the Northeast. Oh, and his uncle's relatives in his hometown.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu quickly prepared some things that were not out of the ordinary and could subsidize everyone.

Zhang Yu first picked some things from the space, looked at them, and felt that some of them were not enough, but the remaining things were too conspicuous when he took them out.

After thinking about it, Zhang Yu took out the tickets his sister-in-law gave him from his pocket.

His sister-in-law gave him these tickets to buy things for the New Year, but because there was space, Zhang Yu was too lazy to mess around anymore. He casually went out and queued up twice, and showed off his face in front of everyone, which made people laugh. I knew he was buying something, so I stuffed it in my pocket.

Isn’t this useful now?

Sending too many things can easily arouse people's suspicion, but tickets are small and can be stuffed casually without taking up space and avoiding making people jealous.

With this in mind, Zhang Yu carefully picked out the tickets that could only be used in the capital city. The rest were divided into several parts according to their needs and stuffed into different bags.

But my grandpa’s side has probably closed the village due to heavy snow now. I don’t know when he will receive the package after sending it, but I guess it may have to wait until after the Chinese New Year and the weather becomes warmer before it can be opened.

But it doesn't matter, he thought of this when he was preparing the things. He didn't put food inside, but put some more tickets in. The tickets were specially selected and there were no tickets that were about to expire.
