The last dragon ever

Chapter 236
Until I gave everyone a better news, that is, they found a large piece of rice, which can be harvested after a while, and the whole tribe can eat rice by then.

Thinking of the taste of the few grains of rice just eaten, even though it has no taste, it can fill the stomach like sweet potatoes and potatoes, and everyone cheered.

When Yang Luyun came back, it was already dark, and it was already too late after cooking and eating, so he hurriedly told everyone to go back to rest, because they had to work tomorrow.Even if she originally wanted to discuss with several leaders about harvesting rice, she could only move it to the next day.

The windmill is a bit complicated, and the people in the tool department can't research it all at once, but another tool for harvesting rice, the bucket, can be figured out first.

A bucket is a boxy wooden bucket placed in the rice field when harvesting rice. The top is large and the bottom is small. It is used for threshing rice. Generally speaking, it is bigger than two cars.The person in charge of cutting the rice cuts off the rice with a stone knife, leaving a stake higher than the waist and ankle, and uses one of the rice to tie it up in bundles and place it neatly next to it.

The person in charge of threshing rice holds the bunches of rice, grabs its roots, and shakes them hard into the bucket, so that the rice will fall off the straw and fall into the bucket.

If you move too much and the rice falls out, you can also surround the three sides with bamboo mats to prevent splashing.

When the bucket is full to a certain extent, the person in charge of picking rice will pick it back to the tribe with baskets made of bamboo.

Originally, the rice should be dried on the cement floor, but because there is no such thing as cement at this time, it is too extravagant for the current tribe to pave the ground with fire bricks, so Yang Luyun asked everyone to weave a lot of thread grass Mats, bamboo mats.

She remembered that when she was in the countryside, some people would choose to dry the rice on mats because of so many places to dry the millet, and to facilitate harvesting when the farming was busy and it rained. The rice will run to the middle, and it can be harvested into the house after dragging.

Soon, the tribal square was covered with this kind of mat, where there is land, there is a special person in charge.

The children also have an extra task, which is to chase birds around with things like bamboo poles, so as not to let all kinds of birds come and eat them when they are in the sun.

The adults in charge of guarding the grain-drying field are also very busy. When the weather is good, they have to turn over the rice on a mat from time to time with a push board or a sledge board, so that they can dry on one side and the other side, so that the drying speed is faster.

Both the push board and the paddle board are tools for stacking and turning the rice. They are both made of wood, but the push board is relatively large and requires two people to use. One holds the handle of the big board, and the other pulls it in front.The spud board should be smaller, there is an eye in the middle of the small rectangular wooden board, and the thick end of a long wooden handle is inserted into the eye in the middle of the board to fix it.One person can hold a long wooden handle and turn over the rice for drying.

Both men and women in the tribe like to use the board, which is light and can be used by one person.

In addition to these, there is also a kind of bamboo called rake.In the newly harvested rice, there are still some things like rice stalks, so you need to use a rake to rake on the sun-dried rice a few times to pile up these rice stalks and residues and remove them from the rice.

Working in the sun, it was hot even with mint tea and leaf hats.

Seeing this, Yang Luyun asked the people in the weaving department to get out the straw hats, bamboo hats, and coir raincoats.What a straw hat needs is the kind of thin bamboo scorpion, like weaving a straw mat, but it is very simple to weave a cylinder that can be worn on the head.
