Jiang Zhennan looked at the blueprint and pondered for a while. He then said, “Miss Yue ‘Er, this kind of… This threshing machine is time-saving and energy-saving. How is that?”
Lin Yuelan went over and pointed at a few nodes. “this kind of threshing machine has a bed in front to store grains, gears on both sides, and a rolling core in the middle. There are many fine nails inserted in the rolling core. The threshing is done by them, and the pedal is stepped on. The moment the pedal is stepped, the gears on both sides would turn, and the rolling core would start to roll. Then, you would just have to put rice on top of it to twist it. However,”
At this point, Lin Yuelan paused for a moment and gave Jiang Zhennan a tired look before she continued, “To make sure the gears spin quickly, we have to use oil.” Modern people used engine oil or diesel.
Oil was a little expensive, and most people were reluctant to use it. However, to Lin yuelan, money was not a problem.
Listening to Lin yuelan’s explanation, Jiang Zhennan, and Guo Bing’s eyes lit up. Although they didn’t quite understand the principle of these things, they knew that it was another help to the farmers.
Jiang Zhennan suppressed his excitement and said, “Miss Yue ‘Er, what do you want us to do? ”
Lin yuelan said, “First of all, we have to go to the town to find a blacksmith to hammer out the nails for these gears and rolling cores. Take note that these nails are bent, and both ends are directly inserted into the wooden board …”
Lin yuelan explained the things clearly, ” then, find a carpenter to build a bed and a shed. However, as for carpenters …”
“Miss Lin, have you forgotten that your family is building a house now? You have carpenters!” Guo Bing reminded him.
Of course, Lin yuelan didn’t forget that she had a carpenter building a house in her backyard.
However, the threshing machine had to be kept a secret at the moment, and she was a little worried about letting a carpenter do it.
Lin Yuelan furrowed her brows and lowered her eyes in thought.
Jiang Zhennan had also thought of Lin yuelan’s concerns. He said to Lin yuelan very seriously, ” miss Yue ‘Er, leave the carpentry work to me.”
But before Lin yuelan could react, Guo Bing was so shocked that he almost dropped his jaw. He asked suspiciously, ” boss, do you know carpentry? ”
Jiang Zhennan’s sharp eyes shot toward Guo Bing as he said in a sharp and deep voice, “Can’t I learn?”
This time, Guo Bing was even more surprised. He said, “No way, boss. Can you learn it in just a few days? ”
Jiang Zhennan ignored him and promised Lin yuelan seriously, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely be able to do some carpentry work in the next two days. You can leave the construction of the threshing machine to me.”
Although Lin yuelan had the same suspicions, she had no other choice.
…
8 days later…
Guo Bing and the other two were very surprised and excited. They touched the freshly-made threshing machine and couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Tsk, tsk, boss, did you really only learn carpentry for two days?” Guo Bing said suspiciously, ” I think you’ve been learning for two years. Look at how exquisitely cut this wooden board is and how tightly the gaps are closed. How can you tell that it’s new work?”
Lin yuelan was also slightly surprised by Jiang Zhennan’s highly efficient hands-on ability.
However, looking at the freshly-made threshing machine, she had already determined that it was a successful product.
Of course, she still had to try.
She scooped out a wooden ladle of oil from the jar and dripped it on the gear.
Then, she stepped on the pedal board and stepped on it …
