Chapter 318 Food is the foundation of a country
He had never seen anything like this on the drawing.
Mr. Lu said that as long as he joins their Agricultural and Commercial Association, this drawing can be given to him for free, and he guarantees that many people will come to him to make such things in the future.
He had been a carpenter for most of his life, so he was naturally very curious about this new and unknown object, so he agreed to his request.
Anyway, there is nothing to lose by joining the Agricultural Chamber of Commerce.
The things on the drawing were very complicated, but he still made them.
It's just that Mr. Lu never said what it was.
Lao Zhang's eyes kept glancing at the rice hulls made of bamboo and soil lying aside. He really couldn't imagine what use such a thing could have.
Soon, Lu Yunluo came with someone.
After paying the remaining balance, Lu Yunluo had Gu Long carried outside the shop.
"Master Lu, what is the purpose of this thing you asked me to make?" Lao Zhang asked curiously.
Lu Yunluo said with a smile, "This is specially used for shelling rice."
"Escape?"
Not to mention that Lao Zhang didn't understand, even Shi Yue and others who followed her were confused.
They looked at the stone mill-like thing made of mud and bamboo. Can it shell the rice?
This seems incredible to them.
In their inherent thinking, there is no other way to hull the rice except grinding it with stones.
"You'll know after you try it." Lu Yunluo didn't want to show off.
Anyway, I have prepared unhulled rice, so I just want to try it out to see if the rice hulling is successful.
Under the command of Lu Yunluo, people poured the rice into the rice hulls, and then pushed the rice hullers to drive the rice hullers. The rice that entered cracked the chaff under the friction of the upper and lower teeth, and the rice grains burst out, along the teeth of the rice hullers.
It falls into the hulling plate through the gap, and then falls into the basket through the lower opening.
The people around were stunned when they saw this scene!
When the rice that was poured in came out, the husk was actually removed!
Can it be done with just a push?
Lu Yunluo took a look and saw that there was nothing wrong with this grain rice. "Lao Zhang, your skills are pretty good. You can do it so well the first time!"
She used to be afraid of minor illnesses or something.
Now I think it’s totally unnecessary to worry about it.
As expected, the old carpenter's craftsmanship is beyond repair.
Lao Zhang walked around the grain rice cake for a long time and did not hear what Lu Yunluo said at all. He was already immersed in the magical principles of the grain rice cake, "So this is why this is done here..."
On the street not far away.
An old man in official uniform was riding in a sedan chair in the direction of the Tianxia Agricultural Chamber of Commerce.
This old man is Sun Yuan, the agricultural envoy of Shangyuan Prefecture. He is affiliated with Sinong Temple. He is an eighth-grade agricultural officer and is responsible for persuading people to cultivate their fields.
Originally, although the amount of cultivated fields in Shangyuan Prefecture that he was responsible for was not ranked among the top few in Donglan Country, it was not ranked at the bottom.
But a few months ago, something like the World Agricultural Chamber of Commerce popped up in Kang County.
This agricultural and commercial association is of particularly bad nature.
He actually encouraged people to open shops and engage in business.
You know, food is the foundation of a country!
If the people are unwilling to farm and all go into business, where will the food come from in the future?
This problem is very serious!
No, after he noticed this problem, he quickly came to Kang County from other counties to see if the World Rural Chamber of Commerce wanted to go against the government!
When he arrives at the Tianxia Agricultural and Commercial Association, he must show his official authority and deal with Mr. Lu properly.
Sun Yuan opened the sedan curtain and looked at the surrounding environment.
When I passed by the door of the carpenter's shop, my eyes suddenly stopped.
The first thing I noticed was the large object made of bamboo and clay.
What really caught his eye was the people pouring rice into it.
Because he was relatively close, he quickly saw the rice grains shooting out.
"Stop!"
Sun Yun was afraid that he had been dazzled by what he had just seen, so he quickly asked the driver to stop.
He watched for a while on the sedan chair.
I saw them pouring the husked rice into it.
Then push a long pole, and the rice grains that have been poured in will fly out.
What are they doing?
Sun Yun got out of the carriage curiously.
When I got closer, I realized that the rice grains that shot out had actually come out of their shells!
"Little brother, can I ask you what this is?" Sun Yun came to Lu Yunluo and asked.
Lu Yunluo raised her head and looked at the person who came. He was an old man in his fifties, relatively thin, wearing simple clothes, and he had an elder's demeanor between his brows.
"This is a farm tool for husking grains." She later planned to start promoting this farm tool in various branches, and now she is not afraid of others knowing.
Sun Yun was slightly startled.
They actually shell the grains!
He stared at the rice cake again and again in disbelief.
Make sure you are not dazzled.
Amazing!
You know, if people want to shell the rice now, they can only use stone mills to crush it back and forth, which is very time-consuming and labor-intensive.
If such agricultural tools are promoted, people will be able to save a lot of time and energy.
Sun Yun looked at this Gu Long, his eyes gradually sparkling.
If he reports this grain rice to the court, it will definitely be a great achievement!
"Little brother, may I ask if this farm tool belongs to you?"
"Yeah." Lu Yunluo nodded. She didn't know what the old man wanted to do. After responding to the old man, she said to Shi Yue and others, "Okay, it shouldn't be a big problem. Just put everything away."
It's getting late, so we have to get this thing back to the Agricultural Chamber of Commerce first.
After receiving Lu Yunluo's affirmative reply, Sun Yun was a little excited.
"Little brother, I wonder if you are willing to sell this farm tool to me?"
Lu Yunluo glanced at him and said, "You want to buy it? No, just ask Master Zhang."
Now this artisan shop is also a member of their Agricultural Chamber of Commerce.
For every rice hull sold, the Agricultural Chamber of Commerce also gets money.
When she was talking to Master Zhang, it was not based on year-end dividends. After all, the craftsman's shop didn't just make rice hulls.
It is more fair to calculate only based on the quantity of rice hulls.
Sun Yun was overjoyed and looked at Lao Zhang with excitement, "Master, do you know how to make such a thing?"
Lao Zhang nodded, "Yes, but it will take some time. If you want to do it, come in with me to register. You have to pay a deposit in advance."
"That's great, Master Zhang, please help me make one."
Sun Yun looked happy.
This trip to Kang County was really the right one.
After paying the deposit, I asked Lao Zhang who came up with the idea of grain rice farming tools.
He must get to know such a powerful person.
"That's the young man who was talking to you just now."
"It's actually him?" Sun Yuan looked surprised.
Chapter completed!
