It's a pity that seeds from the real world can't be brought here, otherwise, Wang Zhong wouldn't have to go to such trouble.

The county has been liberated long ago, and everything has been restored to order. Many villagers from all over the country came to the county to sell agricultural products at stalls.

Now that the policy has been improved, you no longer have to be searched and paid when entering or leaving the city. You no longer have to worry about getting into trouble when you go to the county seat.

Wang Zhong went to the seed shop and exchanged flour for some seeds of peanuts, tomatoes, cucumbers, pumpkins, eggplants, peppers, and leeks.

It's a pity that there are no fruit trees. Fortunately, the owner of the seed shop is easy to talk to and promised Wang Zhong that he would find a way to get some fragrant pear saplings. Wang Zhong still exchanged for white flour. Nowadays, white flour is hard currency. Wang Zhong had a full ten dollars in his space.

Ton.

In addition to flour, there are also several tons of rice, many finished buns and steamed buns wholesaled from the wholesale market, as well as noodles, vermicelli, and several slaughtered cattle and sheep, with bones removed and divided into small pieces.

The most important thing about the mutton is the salt and oil, which are all unpackaged.

The system cannot carry seeds, but processed things are not a problem at all.

Wang Zhong didn't intend to make himself suffer too much, he still had to prepare what he should prepare.

The outer skin of leek seeds is hard and it is difficult for water to penetrate. If you want them to germinate faster and have a higher emergence rate, you must germinate in advance before planting.

First soak the prepared leek seeds in warm water for a day, then slowly scrub them clean; take them out and place them in moist gauze, and provide an environment of 1520c. Spray water every day to ensure that the seeds are moist. The seeds will take about three to five days.

The white can be exposed, and the best effect is to sow after the white is exposed.

Nowadays, the weather is neither too cold nor too hot, and the seeds of peppers, tomatoes and eggplants can be grown in advance.

After Wang Zhong moved into the main house, one of the two rooms in the east wing was converted into a nursery by Wang Zhong, and the other was empty. One of the two rooms in the west wing was turned into a warehouse for storing grain.

The remaining room became a tool room. The space is not small, nearly 40 square meters. Some carpentry work can also be done in the house.

Agricultural tools such as plows, hoes, and carts, as well as carts, were all placed in the backyard.

Wang Zhongke put a lot of thought into raising seedlings. He first prepared materials, made a dozen petri dishes and several shelves, and placed them in the house. He made a simple watering kettle out of clay, and it was barely usable after it was boiled.

Perhaps the climate and temperature were just right, and Wang Zhong sprinkled enough water. Only three days after Wang Zhong started cultivating, the leek seeds were all white, while the others were worse.

This day, the King of Heaven approached Lao Ganbang again: "Lao Ganbang, I'm going to make something recently. Don't you know how to do carpentry? How about you help me?"

Lao Ganbang's name is Niu Youdao. He is a kind and honest farmer. Because he is poor and almost thirty years old, he has not yet married a wife. He hangs a grindstone around his waist all day long. If anything is blunt in the village, he needs to grind it.

Whenever I try, I will look for him.

After Wang Zhong planted the leeks, he continued to germinate while starting to think about preparing tools for the summer harvest.

"It's okay to help, but what are you going to do?" Lao Ganbang is a very talkative person.

Wang Zhongdao: "I'm going to make a windmill, and if possible, a pedal threshing machine!"

"Ah?" Lao Ganbang looked surprised: "Windmill? Pedal threshing machine?"

"you do not know?"

Lao Ganbang said: "I've heard of windmills, but this thing requires craftsmanship, I'm afraid I can't make it! I've never heard of a pedal threshing machine."

Wang Zhongdao: "I know how to do it. I can teach you. I have drawn the drawings. You can help me with the carpentry part and the rotating shaft. I need some iron."

"Then you can ask Blind Lao Yin. He is a blacksmith by trade! He does a good job," Lao Ganbang suggested.

"If you don't tell me, I'm going to find him. Only one shaft of the entire windmill is made of iron. There are a few threshing machines, but not many. Most of them are carpentry. When I have time, I will go find Blind Old Yin. The key is

It's still on both of us.

By the way, are you busy recently? If not, let's help me work for a few days. Let's make these two things as soon as possible. It will be much easier when the summer harvest comes."

"I'm not busy. I have nothing to do. Just tell me a time and I'll come to your house to find you." Lao Gan agreed with one swipe of the stick.

"It's better to choose a different day. Today, right now, go directly to my house! By the way, bring all your guys and everything." Carpenters have their own guys, Lao Ganbang, although this carpenter's skills are mediocre,

But the basic guys have everything.

"Today!" Although Lao Ganbang was stunned for a moment, he did not hesitate: "Okay, I'll take care of it."

In the inner courtyard of the Ma family's mansion, look at the wood and planks standing against the wall under the eaves, the two tripods in the middle of the courtyard, and the finished workbench.

"Drink some water first!" Wang Zhong welcomed the people into the main hall and sat down. The tables and benches were all newly made and had not been painted yet. There were tea trays, teapots, and several tea bowls in the middle, "Wait a moment.

In a moment, I’ll get the drawings!”

"It's okay!" Lao Ganbang looked at the brand-new round Eight Immortals table and the round stool sitting under his butt, his eyes sparkling: "Dachong, your craftsmanship is really good! This carpentry job is better than mine.

Much stronger!"

As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the door. This is the truth. If a layman saw this set of Eight Immortals tables and round stools, he would probably praise its beauty. Although Lao Ganbang's craftsmanship is not very good, at least he is good at it.

People can tell the good from the bad.

As for the craftsmanship of the tables and stools, the smooth edges of the round tables, and the seams that are almost invisible to the naked eye, these are all technical tasks, and Lao Ganbang thinks that he does not have such skills.

Wang Zhong came out with a few blueprints and said with a smile: "This is a craft passed down from my ancestors. If my family hadn't been in bad years and had been bandits, I wouldn't have left my hometown and come to Maixiang Village."

"No wonder Ma Datou kept you working at home as a long-term worker even though he knew you had such a big appetite, just because of your skills!" Lao Ganbang smiled and gave a thumbs up with admiration on his face.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "It's just about usable, you take a look at the drawings first!" Wang Zhong smiled and handed the drawings to Lao Ganbang: "I'll put all the components together.

It’s been taken apart and the dimensions are clearly marked. Let’s do a little bit each. You can take a look first and I’ll explain to you if you don’t understand. We’ll start working later!”

"OK, no problem!"

While Lao Ganbang was looking at the picture, Wang Zhong took out a grate of steamed buns.

"Big Chong, you are very careful in your drawings!" Lao Ganbang looked like he had seen some rare treasure, his eyes were shining brightly and his face was full of surprise.

After all, Wang Zhong was born in civil engineering. He likes to draw drawings from large to small, splitting each part into parts, and then detailing each part. Anyone with a little knowledge can understand Wang Zhong's drawings.

"Eat something first, and watch while you eat." Wang Zhong pushed the bun in front of Lao Ganbang.

"I've eaten it!" Lao Ganbang shook his head repeatedly.

"Even if we are fighting a war, we must first let the soldiers have enough food. We will have to work later. If we don't eat a little bit, we won't have the strength to work."

Seeing that he couldn't resist, Lao Ganbang stopped being polite to Wang Zhong. He picked up a bun and took a big bite. As soon as he took it into his mouth, Lao Ganbang's eyes widened because the rich aroma of meat filled his mouth.

Meaty!

In this era when even oil and water are scarce, old men are so poor that they cannot even afford a wife. They are still single in their late thirties. In the past, they could barely eat enough to eat, let alone eating meat.

Wang Zhong smiled and said: "This is the rabbit I caught while patrolling at night. The meat is made from rabbit meat. I specially marinated and fried the meat before. Does it still taste good?"

"Yeah, yeah!" Lao Ganbang was so excited that he couldn't say anything and nodded repeatedly: "This is too delicious!"

"If it tastes good, eat more and work harder later!" Wang Zhong said jokingly.

After swallowing the buns in his mouth, Lao Ganbang looked extremely moved: "Don't worry, Da Chong, I will do my best."

Lao Ganbang only ate two steamed buns and then stopped eating, and drank three bowls of water.

The two of them sat next to the Eight Immortals table. Wang Zhong carefully introduced the structure and components of the windmill to Lao Ganbang in detail, so that Lao Ganbang had a good idea.

After a while, the two of them were knocking and processing wood in the yard.

The windmill looks simple, but it requires a lot of accessories and has different shapes. For a carpenter of Lao Ganbang's level, it is a bit difficult to process.

Fortunately, Wang Zhong also knew the level of Lao Ganbang, so the tasks assigned to him were all simple tasks. The really complex core components were done by Wang Zhong himself.

Wood is precious and expensive, and Lao Ganbang doesn't dare mess around with it, wasting Wang Zhong's good materials. Therefore, when working, he often takes a tape measure or a carpenter's ruler, repeatedly determines the size, compares it with the drawings, concentrates on it, and works carefully.

Live, extremely precise.

Wang Zhong was very satisfied with Lao Ganbang's rigorous attitude. Like some people in later generations who were really capable but stubborn, like some old masters who had been making bricks and tiles for many years, who were confident and did not use tools but relied solely on their own eyes.

It looks good when you are doing it, but when you look at it after it is formed, some of it is not as good as those who have just started working, are cautious and work carefully.

Although Wang Zhong's speed was much faster than Lao Ganbang's, the quality did not fall behind. He was also very rigorous. Seeing each component gradually taking shape, both of them had smiles on their faces.

In the evening, Lao Ganbang also had dinner at Wang Chong's house. It was buns stuffed with rabbit meat and egg drop soup.

After dinner, Lao Ganbang took Wang Zhong to find Blind Old Yin, and Wang Zhong gave the blueprint directly to Blind Old Yin.

It was just a rotating axis. It was very simple for Blind Old Yin and there was no difficulty at all. Blind Old Yin agreed on the spot and told Wang Zhong to send it home after it was finished.

It took the two of them five days to make all the accessories and all the preparation work. Seeing that more than two-thirds of them were parts made by Wang Zhong, Lao Ganbang felt a little ashamed. He always felt that

I didn't help much, I'm sorry for Wang Zhong's rabbit meat buns and Jian Tian's white flour buns.

In the past few days, the news that Wang Zhong was building a windmill and a wheat thresher had spread like wildfire. Knowing that today was the final day of assembly, Niu Dangdao, Ma Renlian, Ma Renli, Qiao Yue and others came over to watch the fun. Even Wang Wanchun

Zhou Yihu and Zhou Yihu also came after hearing the news.

"Comrade Wang Zhong, can your windmill and threshing machine really work?" Zhou Yihu was very surprised. In fact, Wang Zhong's marksmanship and skill really surprised him.

Wang Zhong smiled and said: "The windmill must be no problem. I have made it before, but I have only seen this thresher and seen the drawings, but this is the first time I have actually used it. I don't know if it will work."

"You'll know if it works or not once you make it." Zhou Yihu said impatiently, "Hurry up and assemble it!"

"That's right, Brother Wang Zhong, assemble it quickly and let us see what the windmill looks like."

"good!"

The structure inside the windmill is actually not complicated. The windmill consists of an inlet, a blower fan, an inlet silo, an adjusting flap, a discharge port, an air outlet, and a discharge port.

After a few days, Lao Ganbang roughly understood the composition of the windmill, but he just wanted to make it alone, but he was afraid that he was still unable to do it. The windmill looked really simple, but the detailed work required many years of carpentry to master it.
