Chapter 83 Stone Mill
"Is this over?" Yu Wuya looked unsatisfied.
"Everyone goes back to sleep. If you go back late, maybe all the wheat at home will be ruined by the mountain pig!" Uncle Ma stood up and waved his hand. Although the villagers were reluctant to leave, they still carried water cups and held the children one after another.
The story is good, but compared to food, it is still not on the same level of demand.
"Brother Xu continued to talk about the water in Jinshan Temple behind?" Niu Dashi hugged the sleepy Xiaochun and couldn't bear to go home.
"I'm still tired if you are not tired. Go back to sleep!" Chen Xu was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he turned around and fetched water to wash.
"It sounds nice. The story of the benefactor is like a wild and unbelievable. I think that Bai Suzhen has been a snake spirit that has been enlightened for thousands of years, but she still can't beat a small medicine-guarding fairy child in Kunlun Mountain. But she doesn't know how many years the fairy child has been in Taoism. The Antarctic Immortal who came riding a crane may have a higher magic power, but I don't know where it comes from... Benefactor, why have I never heard of these mythical characters you mentioned? Did you fabricate it..."
Lying on the mat, Yu Wuya was like a big horse monkey and couldn't sleep again, looking at the roof with his eyes open.
"It's late at night, let's go to bed. When it's fake, it's true. There's nothing but nothing. It's just a story, why take it seriously!" Chen Xu closed his eyes and muttered, then his breath gradually sinks, and soon he began to snore.
"When false is true, it is also false, there is no place for nothing to do..."
In the next room, on Chen Xu's bed, the water that was meditating was still unable to enter into meditation. She gently muttered two words coming through the wall. After lying down, her big eyes were wide open. She lie down as the stars and moonlight shone slightly in the blinds began to daze, and she couldn't sleep.
Then Fahai would definitely not give up Bai Suzhen lightly. I wonder what the ending of tomorrow’s story will be like?
And she also had the same guess as her senior brother. Where did he know this incredible story? Judging from the way he picked it up when he told it, the possibility of fabricating it himself was almost zero. Could he be really a disciple of the immortal family?
When Chen Xu woke up, it was already dawn again.
Since time traveling to this era, apart from the first few days of discomfort and not getting well, Chen Xu has recently found that his sleep has become more and more stable. He slept until dawn every day and felt refreshed when he woke up in the morning.
Without the orders that come out early and come back late in the future, without the pressure of busy survival, although he is still working hard every day, he is more energetic. After this month, he feels as relaxed and at ease as if he is reborn.
The air is fresh, the water is clear, and the environment is beautiful. Every day you wake up is a new beginning. This kind of life is essentially different from the pressure of working hard to buy a car and a house in later generations.
Being poor and happy may be the best portrayal of life right now.
Yu Wuya was still yawning with two dark circles.
After finishing his makeup, Shui Qingrou came out of the room. Looking at Chen Xu who stretched out her waist and kicked her legs to exercise, her bright big eyes showed a ray of light that she had never seen before. There was a little charm on her face and a little gentleness in her eyes.
Two days later, this mysterious boy has completely changed her initial view.
Because the wheat has been harvested, I don’t have to go to the fields to work these two days, I just need to get the wheat grains out and dry them.
So after breakfast, he moved the wheat grains one by one, spread them out and dried them. Under Yu Wuya's urging, Chen Xu began to make grinding racks again.
I was busy until almost noon, and the grinding rack was finally finished. The two stone mills were successfully placed on the grinding rack and perfectly combined. A hemp rope as thick as a thumb on the beam of the pergola was tied, and the height was adjusted and the T-shaped connecting rod was hung for pushing grinding, connecting the connecting rod and the grinding arm on the grinding disc together. A composite stone mill that was commonly used in later generations was declared complete.
"Bao, bah~" Chen Xu spitted into his palms, rubbed his hands and grabbed the T-shaped handle, and then pushed it hard. With the rattle of friction, the grinding disc weighing dozens of kilograms was slowly pushed, and then stopped after a few rounds.
The newly made stone grinding teeth are very rough, and the resistance caused by biting and friction is very great. Chen Xu's body is not the 1.8-meter-old adult body in later generations. He can't last long for a long time if he loses his arms and legs. Seven or eight turns are almost the limit.
"Huhuhu, Brother Yu, come!" Chen Xu gasped and shook his sour arms and said helplessly.
"How to do it?" Yu Wuya jumped over excitedly and grabbed the handle.
Chen Xu used his hand to push the stone mill's grinding arm back to its original position, and reached a ninety-degree angle with the grinding rod. Then he guided Yu Wuya to stand one by one and one behind and said: "There is a saying that a village woman pushes the grinding forward and backward. To push the grinding circle, she must let her body move forward and backward with the connecting rod. Her legs are the fulcrum. The body rotates with the grinding like running water. She takes advantage of the situation and pushes the ship with the flow. The first time she exerts force must be strong, giving the grinding an initial acceleration..."
Although Yu Wuya had never heard of the technical term for initial acceleration, he could probably understand the meaning of it. Moreover, he was a martial arts practitioner. After Chen Xu gave a few tips, he quickly got started. Moreover, he pushed it very easily. As his body swayed back and forth, the stone mill weighing thirty kilograms and huge friction was enough for sixty or seventy kilograms in his hand, it was pushed by him like a toy and was pushed rapidly, and his butt twisted like an electric small motor.
It turns out that he is a natural foodie!
Chen Xu couldn't help but sigh, wiping the sweat beads on his forehead.
"Stop, it's almost done!"
After Yu Wuya pushed it for dozens of times in excitement, Chen Xu stopped, then lifted the upper half of the stone mill, and carefully brushed the grinding grooves with a brush, brushed all the ground stone powder clean, put a pottery basin under the grinding rack and connected it, then he brought half a basin to clean the dried wheat.
"Can you start?" Yu Wuya was extremely excited, and spitted into his palms for two consecutive times to make a move.
"Turn it, don't worry about me, just push hard!" Chen Xu stood on the edge of the stone mill and used a long-handled bamboo spoon to prepare a spoonful of wheat grains.
Xing'er, Shui Qingrou and Chen Jiangshi were also standing beside him and watching. Although they didn't know what the ground flour looked like, according to Chen Xu's usual peculiar attributes, there should be no problem.
However, the faces of the three of them were still full of nervousness and nervousness. Xing'er grabbed Shui Qingrou's arm tightly, her little face was tense and serious, and her emotions were more nervous than everyone else.
