Chapter 344: The Artifact of Transplanting, the Horse
People in Jixiang Village don’t know how to plant rice, and even local families who grow rice don’t know. They sprinkle rice seeds into the fields sparsely.
Liu Paner grew up in the countryside when she was a child in her previous life. Every summer, she would go to the ground to plant rice with her mother. Although she did not do well, she would.
Because it is a terraced field, each piece of land is not big, so Liu Paner can keep a straight line without pulling a rope based on his feelings.
Liu Pan'er made three-foot-long wooden sticks and measured them on the ground, and then the average spacing between each plant was 20 cm apart, and began to plant rice.
Liu Paner held the rice seedlings in his left hand and started planting the seedlings with the other hand. At the beginning, his movements were slow, but soon after he became proficient, he became faster.
Li Dashan frowned and was quite puzzled, "From Yuan Qing's family, is it a waste to be so empty? If rice seedlings are planted in these places, you can harvest more rice ears."
Liu Paner explained, "Uncle Dashan, if the transplanting of rice is very dense, it will affect the seedling development. The sparse points of planting, rice seedlings can also be produced from the bottom, and each plant has many branches. This is based on last year's rice. I always feel that the rice yield last year can be increased upwards. Of course, this is my idea. I will plant this season. If it doesn't work, I will make it more dense next time."
Li Dashan nodded. To be on the safe side, he decided to have rice seedlings at home, three feet wide, seven seedlings, or eight seedlings.
Originally, everyone didn't know how to do this, but when he saw Liu Paner doing this, he thought it was simple. After going downstairs, he would be able to practice for a few times.
Liu's movements were so fast that he surpassed Liu Pan'er in a short while. In the end, Liu Pan'er had to switch to the second row where Liu was located, and then exchanged the position of the first row to Liu.
However, Liu Paner's position was quickly transferred to third place, fourth place...
Finally, Liu smiled and urged Liu Paner, "Sister Liu, go up, we know how to do it. The rice transplanting time has been a long time, and it is too tiring to bend down. You are our family, the backbone of our village and the entire town, and you can't get tired of you. You are so smart that you are doing big things for the Lord Long live, not doing heavy work. Go back quickly."
The others also laughed and said, "That's right, madam, go back quickly. Don't be confused by your smart head, and you won't be able to create such a useful iron plow."
"By the way, this transplant is really exhausting. I have to straighten my waist after I have been working for a while."
"But it doesn't matter if we are tired. As long as we can collect more food, we are happy."
······
The long-term workers and the women who came to help in the village were chattering and lively.
Liu Paner held her waist with one hand and patted her head with the other. How could she forget the magic weapon for transplanting rice? She bent down to plant rice with her waist and was tired. She could make the seedling horses. She would not be tired when she sat on the seedling horse and plant rice with her waist and she would not be tired, and the speed was quite fast.
If you are tired of sitting, then stand and plant rice seedlings and take turns. It is better to bend down.
"Sister Xiaohua, after you said this, I really thought of something that makes people not tired when planting rice seedlings." Liu Pan'er smiled, her voice clear and her smile cheerful.
Liu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait. Our family has a lot of paddy fields this year. It's very troublesome to plant rice seedlings like this. It's better to be less tired, so it's naturally better."
"Then I'll go back and do it, you guys wait for me." Liu Pan'er smiled, washed her feet in the stream, put on socks and shoes.
"Go back, it's too hot outside, don't tan you. Yuan Qing is back, I can't explain it to him." Liu smiled and joked with Liu Paner.
Liu Paner was in a state of footsteps, humming a song, watching the rapeseed not far away be about to mature, and after planting the rice seedlings, they were about to start harvesting rapeseed.
The planting process is very hard, but when harvesting, it is very joyful.
The heavens are about things, and spring is born to seek reality.
The four seasons change and full of vitality.
Liu Paner returned home, started grinding ink, and then drew the shape of the seedling horse. In order to make it as soon as possible, Liu Paner painted the simplest seedling horse.
The bottom is a template that is raised at the front and back ends, and then put something similar to a bench on it to fix it.
Rice seedlings can be placed on the raised wooden boards and under the stool at both ends below. People sit on the stool. After planting the seedlings, they kick with their feet and the seedling horse will automatically slide backwards.
This is the speed of transplanting rice seedlings, and it is not tiring.
But to be honest, if you sit for a long time, you will easily get tired of your butt. Standing and sitting in rotation will make you much more brisk.
Liu Pan'er took the drawings and went directly to find Carpenter Li.
Carpenter Li can earn dozens of cents a day when doing carpenter work, so he takes his family to do carpenter work and hires people to work in the field. Carpenter Li’s wife can just go and watch it, which is more cost-effective.
When Carpenter Li saw Liu Pan'er, he saw the God of Wealth, "Where are from Yuan Qing's family, what are you going to do? If I don't do work, I will work for you first."
Liu Pan'er smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Carpenter. I do have something here. Can you help me with it?"
Liu Pan'er handed the thing to Carpenter Li, hoping to make the horses as soon as possible.
When Carpenter Li saw it, he was quite surprised, "From Yuan Qing's family, this is similar to a child's Trojan horse, and it's simple. What do you want to do? It's better to lie on a rocking chair than to sit on it."
Hearing this, Liu Paner knew that Carpenter Li had misunderstood and shook his head, "Uncle, I'm not for leisure, but for work. My family is planting rice seedlings, so I want to make this thing. Sitting on it, plant rice seedlings, so I don't have to bend down to plant rice seedlings."
When Carpenter Li heard this, he suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. I have seen transplanting rice seedlings at home. It's so tiring to plant rice seedlings while standing, it's comfortable to sit, and you can also put rice seedlings under it. It's amazing! How big is the size of your specific size?"
Liu Paner's hands were three and a half feet long, "Uncle, it's about that long, the stool in front is slightly forward to facilitate transplanting rice seedlings, otherwise the arms will be short and you will start to get tired."
Carpenter Li nodded, "Okay, I'll make it bigger and adjust the size a little later. There are a lot of paddy fields in our village, and this thing will probably be sold soon. You found a good job for me. I'll make it for your home. Thank you."
The previous transformation of the curved plow made Carpenter Li profit a lot.
The rice transplanting tool I made now can make a lot of money.
Liu Pan'er smiled and said, "Uncle, don't thank you. How much should I charge? Don't be polite. If you don't charge the money, will I still have the nerve to ask you for help in the future? Do you still want me to leave the distance and go to other villages to find carpenters to work?"
"That's not possible!" Carpenter Li said with a smile, "My carpenter's work is not sophisticated, but I can do such a rough work. Just come to me. I will charge you the cost price. Is this OK? Goodbye, I'm embarrassed."
