Chapter 209 Making a Seeder and Plow

After tilling the soil, it is time to sow.

Shen Yuan went to call Lin Yi and another guy early in the morning.

Su Wanwan also went to the field to take a look today.

I discovered that in this era, sowing was still done with a hoe, digging a hole, putting the seeds in the hole, and then covering the hole.

Shen Yuan was digging a hole with a hoe, and little Yunyi followed beside him holding seeds. When his father finished digging a hole, he would throw two seeds in.

If the little guy is tired, Shen Zhao will take over.

Shen Zhaode's health was getting better day by day, so this kind of work which only involved planting seeds was no problem for him.

Xiao Yue'er was looking at the seeds in the field.

Su Wanwan secretly took out her cell phone and took a few photos.

Seeing Shen Yuan wielding a hoe and digging a hole, I couldn't help but take several photos of him.

The muscles on the arms and the scene of sweat pouring down were full of roughness, fierceness and lust.

However, if you keep digging holes with a hoe, how long will it take to plant the seeds?

After this day, Shen Yuan’s arm would probably be broken.

It’s a pity that there are no extra hoes at home, otherwise we could stop the workshop and find a few people to come and sow together.

How could I have forgotten this when I was making the curved plow!

Su Wanwan was a little annoyed. She thought of the plow cart used by her grandparents when she was a child, and immediately used her consciousness to enter the space.

It’s really in the book!

This type of plow cart originated in the Han Dynasty. After continuous improvements, it was still used in many rural areas until the 1980s.

It can be pulled forward by oxen and supported by people from behind. The seeds will be exposed to the soil through the funnel above. It not only saves manpower but also makes the seeds more evenly planted, thus saving seeds.

Since we are going to do it, we must make the most advanced triangular plow.

It doesn't look difficult, with three iron plowshares at the bottom and wooden frames on top.

"Shen Yuan, if we plant the seeds like this, how many days will it take to finish planting them?"

The man who was swinging the hoe raised his body and looked at the edge of the field: "It will take ten days."

He worked quickly, digging with the hoe one hoe at a time. He could only dig three acres of land a day.

Fortunately, the land was plowed quickly this year, otherwise it would have taken basically a month to do the whole process from plowing to planting seeds to watering.

Ten days.

Su Wanwan's eyes darkened.

The blacksmith shop didn't have much business at that time, so it should be quick to make three plowshares. As for the carpenter, the support part of the plow cart wasn't difficult either. At Uncle Liu's speed, he could probably finish it in one day.

It takes at least two days to make a plow, but once it's made, all the seeds can be planted in one or two days depending on the speed of plowing, which still saves a lot of time.

Su Wanwan did what she said and took Yue'er home immediately.

After returning home, I drew a blueprint and rushed to Uncle Liu's house first.

"Uncle Liu is busy."

Liu Erxing has been making upright cabinets these days. Even if no one places an order, he wants to make it and use it as a template so that people who want to place an order can take a look at the style first.

Su Wanwan drew several styles for him, including carved ones. For a carpenter, carving is also a necessary skill.

"Sister-in-law is here."

Liu Qiu Shui was holding her child in the sun and stood up immediately when she saw Su Wanwan.

Su Wanwan saw the child and went over to take a look.

The baby, who just turned one month old, has grown a little. Although not very white, he is still tender and cute.

Xiao Yue'er also ran over to see her sister and held the baby's little hand.

"Mom, my sister's hands are so small."

She was quite surprised. Was she this small when she was little? So cute.

Su Wanwan took a look and found that the baby's ears and face were not so yellow anymore. Liu Qiushui was grateful:

"Sister-in-law, your method is really effective. Look, my Zhenzhen's face is no longer yellow."

Su Wanwan nodded.

The last time she came, she saw that the baby's face was yellow and the tips of his ears were yellow. Although she had never raised a child, she knew it was jaundice.

Doctor Liu went to the town again recently. There were no other doctors in the village. Liu Qiu Shui was extremely anxious. When Su Wanwan saw this, she asked her to let the child get more sun exposure and also to ask if there was anyone in the village who had dug Artemisia selengensis in the spring to make tea.

It really works.

Su Wanwan didn't dare to delay and immediately took the drawings to show Uncle Liu.

"Uncle Liu, I need this urgently. It's for sowing. Can you make it quickly? I can pay more."

Liu Erxing looked at the blueprint and waved his hand:

"What are you talking about money? You were the one who provided the blueprint for our wardrobe."

Su Wanwan smiled:

"Let's put things in perspective. We still have to make a profit from selling that cabinet, so the rest should be what they are."

Brothers should settle accounts clearly, especially those involving money.

Liu Erxing's mind was completely on the drawings at this time, and he was looking at them seriously.

Feng Gang also squatted down to look.

"What good thing has sister-in-law figured out? For sowing seeds?"

Liu Qiu Shui was also curious and came over with the child in her arms to have a look.

She really admires Su Wanwan now. They are both women, so why is her sister-in-law so smart?

"Yes, this is called a plow. Look, it has two funnels, one for larger seeds and one for smaller seeds. The seeds will fall into the soil through the holes below..."

Su Wanwan pointed at the drawings and began to explain.

"Oh my God, sister-in-law, if you make this plow and add a curved plow, one person can cultivate a lot of land."

Liu Qiu Shui was shocked.

Liu Erxing was also excited:

"I'll do it right away. I'll work on it tonight and it will be done tomorrow. We can't delay the sowing."

Feng Gang has already started picking wood.

Looking at these two action-oriented people, Su Wanwan also admires them.

"Then I'll trouble you, Uncle Liu. I'll go to town again to order those plowshares."

Su Wanwan is also a person of action. She hurriedly took Yue'er away.

"Mom, are you going to town? I'm going too."

Xiao Yue'er followed happily.

"Okay, let's go find your dad."

Su Wanwan responded with a smile. She couldn't go to town alone as it was not very safe outside at this time.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan immediately asked Lin Yi to come and help with sowing the seeds. Xiao Yunyi and Shen Zhao watched at home, and they immediately drove the ox cart to the town.

The refugees were all detained in the county town, and there were not many refugees in the town. The weather had been sunny in the past two days, and the town had shown signs of becoming lively again.

Shen Yuan didn't delay and ran straight to the blacksmith shop.

When the blacksmith saw Shen Yuan, his eyes lit up and he actually took the initiative to speak:

"It's you guys. Wasn't that the curved plow you made last time? That's amazing."

The old master was so excited to see them.

Although the two guests only took the ironware drawings last time and he did not see the full picture of the curved plow, but later when the government released the drawings of the curved plow, he recognized it at once.

In addition, the Agricultural Bureau commended him and announced to the world that the curved plow was invented by a peasant woman in Tongxu County, which made him even more certain.

The first curved-beam plow was made in his blacksmith shop, which made him very proud and he boasted about it for a long time.

However, although this young wife was dressed like a peasant woman, she did not look like a peasant woman at all.

People born in the 80s should have seen the plowing car
