The Notre Dame system is arrogant again

Chapter 307
However, the push sickle was still used.

This is all due to Zhang Daniu going back and forth to the town several times, communicating with the blacksmiths several times, and constantly improving. When the mung beans are almost finished, they are finally as strong as a sickle.

Pushing the sickle can only cut beans, and crops such as millet and millet are useless. This is a pity for Zhang Boss for a long time, and then carefully put away the pushing sickle.

No one expected that during the autumn harvest of the second year, when harvesting beans, the push sickle would be widely used, and later became popular all over the world, even the world!
After Zhang Xiaohua learned about this, she was indignant, why there is no patent here, otherwise, she could eat and wait to die for the rest of her life by pushing the sickle, so why would she have to work hard to get there!

The only benefit is that pushing the sickle has earned Zhang Xiaohua a lot of Holy Mother value!
The beans are cut, next comes the millet.

The millet is cut in the field, tied up with a rope twisted from several millet trees, loaded on a cart, pulled to the yard, and then piled up one by one with the ears facing inward.

So Zhang Xiaohua has a new task, which is to cut the ears of corn.

Grab a small handful of millet stalks, peel off the ears of grain with a sharpener, and then spread them out on the spot, and ask the donkey to pull a stone roller to press on the ears of grain, so that the grains will fall off the ears of grain.

Zhang Xiaohua doesn't know when this threshing method started, but she knows that this method is still used in some rural areas until the 21st century.

Even then there were threshing machines.

Zhang Xiaohua felt that it was too inefficient to peel grain ears by handfuls, so she came up with another invention, the guillotine.

Of course, she didn't invent this. In ancient times, there were guillotines, which were used to cut grass for livestock, that is, stalks of millet.It is cut into sections and fed to livestock in winter. This kind of grass is also called hay.

There is another use, which is guillotine. Needless to say, everyone knows that Baogong's guillotine is like that.

Zhang Xiaohua's invention is to use a guillotine to cut the ears of grain.

The normal guillotine is too heavy, and Zhang Xiaohua can't get it by herself, so she draws the blueprint again and asks Zhang Daniu to order it.

A few days later, a small and relatively light guillotine appeared in the yard. Zhang Xiaohua began to experiment, but it didn't work as expected.

Not to mention whether it is fast or not, it is very inconvenient when cutting ears of corn.

The ears of grain do not grow uniformly, but they are big and small, and the grains are also high and low. If you cut the ears according to the height, the short ears will not be able to be cut. It will cut off a long section of rice straw, which will seriously affect the effect of threshing.

But Zhang Xiaohua still didn't give up, and called Zhao Sanhu to help him straighten the ears of grain, and then he cut them off.

Zhao Sanhu was very impatient with this kind of work, so Zhang Xiaohua asked him to chop the ears of corn and make them all by himself, no matter how I felt, it was faster than cutting the ears of corn.

The one who cuts the ears of grain is of course very labor-saving, it cuts a lot of ears in one go, and the one that straightens the ears of grain takes some time, which makes Zhao Sanhu very satisfied. It is estimated that it is almost time to come back and make another cut.

Zhang Xiaohua could only sit there and fiddle with the ears of corn, not idle at all.

Life is hard, she is a life-long traveler!
Zhang Xiaohua wailed secretly.

But this time the invention was not recognized, and everyone thought she was lazy, and it was too troublesome to use a guillotine to cut the ears of grain, especially when sharpening the knife.

What's more, it is very dangerous, if you don't do it well, you will hurt yourself, so in the end the guillotine was confiscated, and Zhang Xiaohua had to honestly peel the ears of grain with the sharpener.

Life is hard, she is a life-long traveler!
Zhang Xiaohua wailed again.

While feeling sorry for herself, a person sat beside her and helped peel the ears of corn, when Zhang Xiaohua turned her head and saw that it was Wang Xiaolian!

Since the last time she fell into the water, she hadn't seen Wang Xiaolian again for more than ten days. Wang Xiaolian's complexion was yellowish, she was very thin, and her hair was not as smooth as it was combed before.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Xiaohua asked.

It is impossible for Wang Xiaolian to help her if nothing happens.

Wang Xiaolian lowered her head and put aside the stalks that had been shaved, and went to grab another handful, but Zhang Xiaohua stopped her.

"You don't need it, just talk about it if you have something to say."

But Wang Xiaolian pushed her hand away and continued to work.

Zhang Xiaohua sighed, why did this sister get so excited.

As she continued to work, Wang Xiaolian began to cry softly.

Zhang Xiaohua glanced at her, then continued to work without saying anything.

For a long while Wang Xiaolian said sullenly.

"Xiaoqing won't play with me anymore."

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned.

"why?"

"I don't know." Wang Xiaolian looked blank, "She suddenly stopped looking for me. I went to find her, but she said she was very busy."

"That's why I'm busy." Zhang Xiaohua said as she went about her work, "Everyone is busy during the autumn harvest. It's not like you don't know about Xiaoqing's family."

"What's the matter with Xiaoqing's family?" Wang Xiaolian seemed to be refreshed.

Zhang Xiaohua saw her face full of gossip, and the funny thing was that there were tears on her face, so she laughed secretly.

"Isn't her grandma very powerful, she won't eat if she doesn't work? Xiaohong hasn't come to see me for a long time."

Wang Xiaolian was very disappointed.

"That's it."

"Then what do you think?"

Wang Xiaolian was silent for a while.

"Do you think Xiaoqing will tell about me and...?"

"How do I know that?" Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly explained after finishing speaking, "I didn't say anything!"

"I believe you."

Zhang Xiaohua was very flattered by Wang Xiaolian's sudden remark.

"why?"

"You saved me."

"You said that you jumped into the river, don't think too much, whoever would have saved you."

"That's not what I said."

Zhang Xiaohua was puzzled.

Wang Xiaolian said faintly.

"You said that I fell into the water to get my clothes, but you didn't say that I jumped into the river. I know you did it for my own good."

Of course Zhang Xiaohua said that for her own good, she didn't expect Wang Xiaolian to know this, it's really not easy!
"I didn't tell my mother, I didn't tell anyone..." Wang Xiaolian started crying again.

Zhang Xiaohua thought about it.

"Then why did you come to see me?"

"Only you and Xiaoqing know about me, Xiaoqing ignores me, I can only come to you..."

What a reason!
"Does that mean you're okay?"

What Zhang Xiaohua said made Wang Xiaolian cry even more.

"There's something, but I don't know what it is, I'm just scared..."

Zhang Xiaohua understands, if it were her, she would be very scared, no, quite scared!
Having that kind of relationship with a man would be unbearable even for a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl in modern times, let alone in ancient times.

But she can't help it!

"Are you afraid that your father and mother will know?"

Wang Xiaolian nodded.

"My mother asked me several times, and I was going to tell her, but in the end I still didn't say anything."

"You'd better tell her." Zhang Xiaohua said slowly.

"Why?" Wang Xiaolian stared at Zhang Xiaohua with red eyes.

Can Zhang Xiaohua say what if you are pregnant?And you should always look for your husband's family. In ancient times, women had to be popular on the first night of marriage. Even if the country doesn't pay attention to those things, don't the men in the country value them?
Although Luohong has nothing to do with virgins, but in the backward ancient times, who would tell you such a truth!
By then, Wang Xiaolian's situation will be even more difficult.

So it's better to tell your parents earlier, and you will be prepared when you find your in-law's family.

What's more, in case of such a thing as pregnancy, what would Wang Xiaolian do by herself?

Also, she doesn't want to get involved in this shit!
