Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 341 Seeder - Plow

As Grandpa Zhao spoke, he poured water for the two of them, which made the Taoist priest stare.

He cursed, "Now you are protecting them. I don't know who just said that we must teach them a lesson when they come back."

"I'm telling you, you have to let them rest for a while and have some hot meals first! Go and serve the meals quickly." Grandpa Zhao waved his hand and said.

After hearing this, the Taoist priest stopped talking and went to the kitchen to serve dinner to the two of them.

Lu Chuan and Xu Han in the room knew that they came back late without saying hello today, and they were so scared that they dared not make a sound and kept their heads down, pretending to be quails.

Even Mu'er and Ze'er were particularly cheerful at this moment and stopped crying or making a fuss. They just looked at the two of them quietly.

After the Taoist priest brought back dinner, the two of them quickly finished their dinner and then went to the bathroom to take a shower.

When she came out again, Xu Han clearly felt much fresher and more comfortable.

"How was your harvest today? Why are you back so late?" Grandpa Zhao asked while drinking tea.

"It's pretty good. I picked three baskets of ferns and broke off more than ten baskets of bamboo shoots."

"That's quite a lot. No wonder you came back so late. But don't do this next time. It's already dark and you two haven't returned home yet. There are children at home waiting for you to come back. If you don't come back, Mu'er will not even eat dinner and will wait for you to come back to eat together." Grandpa Zhao lectured.

"We got it. We really didn't pay attention to the time and came back late today. Don't worry, it won't happen again next time." Xu Han said as he hugged Mu'er in his arms.

Mu'er hasn't seen her mother for a day, and now she is particularly attached to Xu Han.

She nestled in Xu Han's arms, being very well behaved.

"How was your harvest today when you put the fish baskets down? Are there any fish?" Lu Chuan asked, changing the subject.

"There are fish, but they are not very big. The collected fish are scattered into the fish pond. We put the fish baskets again in the evening and collect them again tomorrow morning." said the Taoist priest.

"As long as there are fish, it will be fine. They are still small now. We can eat them when they grow up." Lu Chuan continued.

"I think our fish pond is not very big. We can expand it appropriately when there are more fish in the future."

"There are only a few people in our family and we can't eat so much fish. It's enough to have enough." Xu Han continued.

"That's fine. Anyway, we can expand it when we need it."

"Well, it's getting late. Let's all go to bed early today. I see the sky is gloomy outside. It's probably going to rain again soon." Grandpa Zhao said.

"Is it going to rain? The corn and beans haven't been planted yet."

"It's okay. You can plant after the rain. I've already harvested everything in the yard, so there's no need to get up if it rains. You guys should pack up and get some rest."

OK, we got it, we'll go to sleep right away." Lu Chuan replied.

Have a good night's sleep...

When I woke up the next morning, the weather outside was still gloomy, but it didn't rain.

"It looks like it's going to rain. Why don't we plant corn and beans today? They will be harvested after the rain." Lu Chuan asked.

"Okay, I'll go get that seed drill you made earlier."

This seeder is actually the plow used for sowing in ancient times, which is specially used for sowing various seeds.

There are three main types of plows: one-legged plow, two-legged plow and three-legged plow.

People can choose the number of feet they need according to the seeds they sow.

The number of rows for sowing varies with the number of feet.

This plow can adjust the sowing distance according to the seeds to be sown. There is a small mechanism inside the seed box of the plow. After adjusting the appropriate distance before sowing, you can start sowing.

The hoe exists in this world, but the original owner had never seen it before, because the price of this sowing hoe is very expensive and ordinary people cannot afford it.

Xu Han and Lu Chuan knew about the existence of the plow thanks to Grandpa Zhao who accidentally mentioned it when they were chatting with him.

Later, Xu Han remembered that she had seen this kind of thing on the Internet before, and she was particularly interested in it at that time.

I was amazed that this tool existed thousands of years ago. The ancients were really wise. In the end, I specially searched for relevant knowledge about hoe.

Then, during the disaster year, Xu Han and Lu Chuan tinkered with it for nearly two months and finally made the plow.

Although the two failed many times while making it, which caused Xu Han to doubt herself for a while, they finally made the seed drill after continuous efforts and attempts.

In the end, the two of them not only made a one-legged plow, but also a two-legged plow and a three-legged plow.

"Bring that three-legged plow." Xu Han instructed.

"Hahaha, this hoe can finally come in handy. After I made it, I haven't used it except for that experiment. It's been covered in dust here." The Taoist priest took out the hoe and said with a smile.

"Hahaha, yes, it will come in handy today. With this plow, we can greatly reduce the time. I estimate that we can finish planting all the corn and soybeans outside in one day today."

“I can’t wait to try it.”

"Lu Chuan, go and bring the cows over. It will be more convenient for us to use the cows to pull the plow." Xu Han said to Lu Chuan.

"Yes, it used to be pulled by people, but now it would be faster to use oxen. I'll go get the oxen."

Then the rest of the people took seeds and tools, and they came to the newly cleared wasteland in a mighty manner.

Early in the morning, everyone was full of energy and enthusiasm, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

"Shall we plant corn first?" asked Grandpa Zhao.

"Okay, pour the corn seeds into the seed box, and we'll adjust the sowing spacing first." Xu Han said.

After Xu Han finished speaking, she began to adjust it. "Okay, let's try this spacing first, is it okay?"

After Xu Han finished speaking, the Taoist priest went to the front and pulled it up. Grandpa Zhao supported it from behind. After walking a few steps, they stopped.

Xu Han squatted on the ground and dug the seeds out of the soil, saying, "It's a little too dense, let's readjust it."

Then they continued to adjust the distance, and the seeds that had just been sown were picked up again by several people. They must not be wasted.

"Now it's done. Bring the cow over here, put this on the cow, and one person will lead the cow in front while another will support it from behind." Xu Han said.

"Okay, let's try it first." After Lu Chuan said that, the Taoist priest and Lu Chuan started to act.

Xu Han and Grandpa Zhao also joined in the fun and walked a few steps. They also checked the situation of seed leakage so that if there were any problems later, they could discover and adjust them in time.
