Chapter 238 Valley Windmill Test

"That's good." Zheng Sisi said as she touched the rice windmill. It looked similar to the one on the drawing. There was a bucket on top to hold the rice that had been dried and not yet raised dust.

There is a wooden piece at the bottom of the bucket, and the handle for controlling the wooden piece is outside. There are several fan blades installed in the big belly below, and the handle for controlling the fan blades is also outside. When the handle is shaken outside, the wind from the fan blades can separate rice and dust or incomplete chaff.

Zheng Sisi shook the handle a few times. The handle was made of wood. Zheng Sisi suggested: "Magister Cao, the handle of this fan blade can be replaced with iron, so that it will not break after long-term use."

This word woke up the carpenters, and they came to their senses. It turned out that this little girl was so capable that she could tell where the defects were at a glance.

Zheng Si said: "This iron handle is made into the shape of this handle and can be installed directly."

Zheng Sisi turned around and said to Magistrate Cao, "Magistrate Cao, send someone to look for rice that is dust-free, or rice mixed with some rice husks. Bring some over so I can test the rice windmill."

Master He immediately replied: "Okay, I'll go find it right away."

Then he ran out in a hurry to find something.

Zheng Sisi and the third prince circled the valley windmill twice more. Except for changing the turning handle, everything else was fine.

Then the two of them went to see the thresher. The production progress of the thresher was slower. Zheng Sisi looked at it and found that the wooden parts were all in place.

The Otani Wind's roller has also been completed and is filled with U-shaped nails. What's missing now is the gear that connects the roller and the pedal.

This item does require some effort and craftsmanship. A slight deviation in size will cause the gears to mismatch and the foot pedal will not be able to drive the roller to work.

Zheng Sisi cleared out the wooden parts piece by piece and assembled the wooden boards one by one according to the thresher she remembered. The Third Prince saw her working and also took the wooden boards to help.

Zheng Sisi said: "This piece is not placed here, it is the one next to your feet."

The third prince bent down and changed a wooden board, and the two of them worked together to insert the board.

Zheng Sisi simply gave instructions: "The piece you just took, insert it here. Okay, it's done now. Now the appearance is complete. The only thing missing is the rollers, gears and pedals inside."

Zheng Sisi walked around to the wooden board where people stood and demonstrated: "After the foot pedal is installed, threshing starts from here. Two cut rice stalks are inserted into it. When the pedal is stepped on, the rice ears are hit on the roller, and the rice grains fall into the wooden barrel below. As long as the rice stalks are put in and rolled a few times, the rice grains will fall out completely. It is very quick and saves time."

Everyone stopped what they were doing and watched Zheng Sisi's operation carefully. Her demonstration reminded them of the time when they used to hold rice stalks and knock them against wooden barrels. Sometimes they had to knock the rice stalks more than ten times to completely thresh the rice. It was very laborious and slow.

If this thresher is made, as the girl said, it will be able to thresh grains very quickly in the future. Only then did they truly realize that what they were doing was an earth-shattering thing. This was a groundbreaking feat, and everyone was excited.

Because they are the pioneers and the original creators of this industry, others will look up to them when they go out in the future. With this in mind, won’t it be easy for them to get jobs in the future?

The more they thought about it, the more excited they became. Without wasting any more time, they picked up their tools and continued to work.

Not long after, Mr. He came in with two yamen runners. Each of them carried a load of grain and put it down next to the grain windmill.

Zheng Sisi walked over and grabbed a handful to check. The rice was mixed with rice husks. Zheng Sisi was very satisfied. This experiment could show the convenience and labor-saving of the rice windmill.

Zheng Sisi said: "Brother, please pour a basket of rice into the bucket above.

She checked the switch at the bottom herself and found it was closed tightly. If it was not closed properly, the rice would flow down directly.
