Guozijian little cook

Chapter 273 Planter

Most of Xiao Zhou's original thoughts were still in the book, but when he heard Xiao Nianzhi said that he wanted to study the tools, he couldn't help closing the book and asked in a low voice: "What's your sister thinking?"

Although he didn't get along with Xiao Nianzhi for a long time, Xiao Zhou knew that this younger sister was a girl with little wisdom in life.

If she hadn't already had some confidence in her heart, she probably wouldn't have said it.

For example, the water pipes used to water the ground before have been researched and promoted by the supervisor of Shanglin Garden.

However, this requires the help of the terrain, and there is no way to use this in many places where the terrain is not suitable.

There is also the previous method of making ice, compressing military rations.

Xiao Zhou felt that maybe his sister could really bring it up, something that subverted their thinking again.

Realizing this possibility, Xiao Zhou became more interested.

Xiao Siye also became interested, and said with a smile: "Think about it carefully, we... can try it now."

Seeing that it was still early in the sky, Xiao Siye directly opened the curtain and motioned to Uncle Zheng: "Old Zheng, turn the corner and go to Zhuangzi."

Xiao Siye is a man of action, and he also loves Xiao Nianzhi, a little girl.

So, as soon as she mentioned it, Xiao Siye immediately arranged for it.

Yu Jijiu followed them to leave the academy, and the carriage followed behind them.

Seeing that they turned the corner and didn't enter the city, they couldn't help sticking their heads out of the window curiously: "Brother Qingyue, where are you going?"

Qingyue is Xiao Siye's nickname.

When Xiao Siye heard it was Yu Jijiu's voice, he hurriedly poked his head out: "I have some things to go to Zhuangzi, brother Changliu, do you want to go together?"

Yu Jijiu's full name is Yu Chuan, and Changliu is his nickname.

The other party was alone. Hearing Xiao Siye's question at this time, he nodded after thinking about it: "Then thank you brother Qingyue for the invitation."

The two carriages turned around and went to Xiao Siye's nearest Zhuangzi.

The location of this Zhuangzi is not good, and there are not many good fields, and more are medium-sized fields.

There are also mostly Zhuangzi of small and medium-sized officials in Beijing nearby, and few dignitaries gather here.

A group of people got off the carriage and entered Zhuangzi first. Zhuangzi's steward Niu didn't expect that the master's house came at this time, and he, who was helping to cook in the kitchen, hurriedly cleaned his hands and came to greet him.

Seeing that his busy body was still stained with oil, Xiao Siye smiled helplessly: "It's nothing, just come and have a look."

Steward Niu responded repeatedly, and accompanied him all the way.

Xiao Nianzhi didn't expect that she was just an idea, and Xiao Siye and his son brought her to Zhuangzi directly to conduct experiments.

Although she was a little surprised, she was not nervous.

Thanks to those years of living in the village, she has seen almost all kinds of agricultural machinery, no matter whether it is old or modern, and once out of curiosity, she visited the maintenance site and asked some questions.

So, thinking about it now, the hydraulic seeder can't be done, but the spoon type should be no problem.

It's just that this involves all kinds of iron refining and plastic products.

Of course, there is no substitute for plastic, and the combination of various soft and hard woods can also achieve the same effect.

Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi didn't need to worry about it. In order to make a semi-automatic planter, he still had to dig for oil and extract plastic.

After coming to Zhuangzi, Xiao Nianzhi drew the blueprint first.

Xiao Siye and the others were also very interested, so Xiao Nianzhi drew it directly in the yard in front of the house. The temporary tables and chairs were not very useful, and the ground was uneven.

However, Xiao Nianzhi's hand was very steady.

It's not because she's good at studying, it's simply because she cooks well, after a long time, she has practiced with seasoning.

The hand is very steady, the drawing is also clear, and even the corresponding size is marked.

After the painting was finished, Xiao Nianzhi explained to Xiao Siye and the others one by one: "I remember that the general appearance in the book is like this, and I also wrote down a lot of principles."

"This can be pushed by a single person. While loosening the soil, the seeds are planted at the same time. This is called spoon sowing. The spoon plate can be rotated back and forth in the seed box as we push it, bringing out the seeds. Sow the seed."

"We can try it first, and if it doesn't work, we can plant it again."

"If you feel that the efficiency of a single unit is not high, we can also splice and combine it, and have a three-person, or even a four-person one. If there are more, it may not be so convenient and labor-saving for a single person to operate, but we can also consider two-person cooperation. "

……

Xiao Nianzhi used all the principles he learned from watching the crowd over the years.

She is not sure for the time being, whether this tool can directly succeed, and then start to sow seeds.

If it really doesn't work, I guess the people from the Ministry of Industry will have to go.

Xiao Siye and the others watched it for a long time, but Yu Jijiu couldn't help but admire in the end: "This is really an interesting and useful idea, and it has been put into action!"

Xiao Siye also nodded: "Yes."

Unfortunately, the book was destroyed.

It's a pity to think about it like this, but it's also a little fortunate, fortunately Xiao Nianzhi has read it, and fortunately the little girl can read and write, so it was not in vain to read the book.

After Xiao Nianzhi finished explaining the principle, several people sat around and discussed the operability of this planter after production.

Xiao Zhou usually reads books, and rarely has the opportunity to read other miscellaneous books.

When I was young and playful, I read at most two travel notes, and when I became sensible, I stopped reading more.

More thoughts are still on the Four Books and Five Classics.

He is young and has little life experience, so he can't offer any unique suggestions at this time.

On the contrary, Xiao Siye and Yu Jijiu seemed to have a lot of life experience, and they talked about this and that.

From Xiao Nianzhi's point of view...

Well, the combination of these two people is easier to use than the Ministry of Industry.

Because, they have practical experience.

"I think it's workable."

"I also think it's feasible, like this one. The rope made of old hemp should be able to be used for a long time. At that time, it will be enough to change the rope. And it saves effort in one round and saves time in multiple rounds. No matter how you look at it, it is more bent than ours. Waist, it’s appropriate to work there for half a day.”

"Yes, yes, as for the wheel, please consult the Ministry of Engineering to study it. According to the size, it should be able to be made quickly."

"Unfortunately, it may not be able to be used on a large scale this year, but it's just a good time to try this machine while planting winter vegetables."

……

Xiao Siye and Yu Jijiu had a particularly intense discussion, and their voices would be higher from time to time.

Xiao Zhou was on the side, holding the book weakly and helplessly, looking at the drawings, then at his father and master, quietly lowering his sense of existence.

He doesn't understand, so don't make trouble.

But, his sister is amazing.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhou turned his head to look at Xiao Nianzhi again.

Xiao Nianzhi couldn't get in the conversation right now, she was still drawing pictures.

Well, these pictures are simple and labor-saving harvesters, threshing machines, and dehullers.

Now that you are trying agricultural machinery, try everything you can.

Seeing that it is the golden autumn harvest season, although the wheat has been harvested, the rice, millet, and corn have not been harvested yet.

If there is a machine, it should save a lot of effort by then, right?
