The rapeseed that was harvested and transported back was not stacked, but was directly spread out on the threshing floor to dry.
The weather has been good these days. The sun is shining warmly on the ground, which is perfect for harvesting and drying grain.
God's mercy, Han Cheng naturally had to keep it. If he didn't take advantage of this rare opportunity to dry the rapeseed, he would be in big trouble later when God was unhappy and it started to rain.
After all, this is not the future. In the future, when the grain is received in the threshing field and it rains, you can cover it with plastic sheets and wait for the weather to clear.
Not now, not to mention plastic sheets, not even straw...
Once it rains, apart from rushing to deliver some to the deer pen where the deer live, Han Cheng really can't think of any other way.
On the wheat field, a thick layer of rapeseed has been spread out, and under the sunshine of late spring and early summer, the water is rapidly transpiring.
Han Cheng, who has not yet grown taller, is turning the dried rapeseed with a wooden fork in his hand. While turning, he also tries to loosen the rapeseed as much as possible, which is conducive to ventilation and speeds up the evaporation of water.
Han Cheng put his right hand in front and his left hand in the back. He used a wooden fork to stick some rapeseed. Then, with his right hand in front and close to the rapeseed, he lifted it up a little harder. He pressed down the lever with his left hand at the same time. It was a lever that could be tilted even on the earth.
Under the principle, these rapeseeds can be forked easily.
Then based on this posture, tilt the top of the wooden fork slightly downward, shake it a few times, and the rapeseed on the wooden fork will fall off one after another. Change to a comfortable position, and then enjoy sunbathing.
This kind of thing is not difficult for Han Cheng, who has been doing farm work since he was a child. Even though he is now a man of two generations, he is still as easy to turn over with a wooden fork.
Mu Mu and others, who had just started to come into contact with these things, felt uncomfortable. This strange-looking wooden stick was not easy to use, and it was not as fast as they could do it with their hands.
But the Son of God didn't allow them to do that, so they had to use this weird-looking stick to do these jobs.
Look at the Son of God not far away who is skillfully demonstrating with a strange stick that the Son of God calls a 'wooden fork'. While the wood and the others are secretly amazed, they have no choice but to imitate the Son of God as much as possible. They have never done this before.
Things I have come into contact with.
Han Cheng turned over for a while, then turned around to look at the others who were clumsily using wooden forks and struggling to turn over the rapeseed logs. He couldn't help sniffing. Didn't he say, "There's no need to learn how to do farm work, let's just do what others are doing?"
(zhuo second tone) 'Why do these guys learn so slowly?
This made Han Cheng, who wanted to teach them earlier, throw the wooden fork aside and find a shady place to relax, very helpless.
Alas, I am just a tired person. It is not easy to become the son of a god and put on the cloak of a god.
He sighed with some peace of mind, wiped the sweat from his forehead, dragged the wooden fork with one hand, and walked to the wooden people to give step-by-step instructions.
This wooden fork was specially made by Han Cheng to welcome the first batch of grain harvested by the Qingque tribe.
The structure of the wooden fork is very simple. It is a wooden stick about four centimeters in diameter and one and a half meters long. The top of the wooden stick has three branches, which are about the thickness of a thumb and about forty centimeters long.
There is about twenty centimeters of space between the three wooden sticks.
These three are called 'forks' (I don't know if this is the word). The small wooden stick and the wooden handle are not straight. The three of them have a certain arc and are bent downward, about ten centimeters deep.
After the arc, it then extends forward.
And at the upper part of the intersection of the three 'forks', there is a small wooden stick about two or three centimeters long that protrudes upward.
This is done so that the wooden fork can shovel enough rapeseed, and it also prevents the forked rapeseed from slipping.
When Han Cheng was young, every year when the wheat season was about to come, there would be many people selling wooden forks on the street, as well as long-handled brooms, iron sickles, rakes, straw hats, whetstones, etc.
These are things related to busy farming.
The market at that time was probably the most lively except for the period before the Chinese New Year.
After all, every household has to go to the market to buy some things.
Otherwise, it will not be easy to find time to go to the market when the wheat is harvested.
Most of the wooden forks in later generations were made of mulberry wood. People who specialized in producing wooden forks usually had mulberry gardens. Of course, they were different from the mulberry gardens that raised silkworms.
There are basically no big mulberry trees in the mulberry orchards that produce mucha, only small mulberry trees.
In the first year, the mulberry tree is cut off at the root, and many buds will grow out in the second spring.
After the buds grow into normal branches, one or two of them will be selected to grow straight and strong, and the rest will be cut off from the roots.
When the remaining ones grow to one or two meters high, the heads of the mulberry tree branches will be cut off at a height of 1.56 meters from the ground.
After the head is cut off, new branches will grow out from here after a period of time, and the branches are of course not one.
When the new branches grow bigger, the rest will be broken off, leaving only three branches that are about the same distance apart.
After a while, we began to modify the three wooden bars that were about to become 'fork tines'. We pinched them into the required arc and fixed them. After a while, they will maintain this posture.
It will change again.
In this process, a small piece of wood in a suitable position is selected and left, which is the small wooden peg at the intersection of the three 'tines' on the top of the wooden fork.
When the mulberry trees are almost full grown, they will be cut down.
While they are still not dry, take the skins and burn them in the fire. Use this opportunity to repair the imperfect areas. When the mulberry wood cools down, the shape you made earlier will be completely fixed.
There will be further changes.
Then the bark is peeled off and trimmed with tools such as axes and planes, and a wooden fork is born.
Han Cheng had not been here long, and he had not thought about making Mucha before. It was not until the rape blossoms fell that he thought of it.
It is obviously impossible to make a wooden fork like that of later generations.
Fortunately, there were a lot of trees in the primitive era. After a lot of searching, he finally found some that could be used.
After cutting it down with difficulty with a stone ax, he brought it to the outside of the tribe's wall, lit a fire, and called for help from the lame who was forgetfully burning holes in the wooden pillars to make a wooden ladder.
After burning it with fire, start to transform the wooden stick in the direction of the wooden fork.
Although the quality of the wooden fork finally produced was not very good, and it was slightly better than the defective products of later generations, it was still usable.
