    Full version., the latest chapter of Daoda will be updated as soon as possible!  Thinking about this, Xu Yi couldn't help but shrugged.  This is really not a polite way of saying that a Chinese host would eat at a dinner table. I was really prepared to eat coarse food.  But no matter what, I have to deal with this period of time. It would be better to save this time when the store makes a profit before thinking about improving my life.  Xu Yi also thought about a question before he wanted to buy a corn thresher. Should he make a handmade corn thresher? After all, it costs nothing to buy and he can make it himself.  I don¡¯t know what other places call this thing, but in my village, I call it corn grater.  As long as there is dry land to grow corn, every household basically needs this item.  The only material needed to make a corn scraper is a piece of hardwood about two feet long and seven or eight centimeters square with a few nails and iron bars.  The carpentry tools are also complete, so it doesn't take much effort to make it. After all, the method of making this thing is very simple: first dig out a semi-arc groove on the front of the wood along the long diameter, and drill a square hole in the middle.  , fix an iron bar under the square hole so that the tip of the iron bar stands in front of the square hole.  Of course, for the convenience of future operation, the back can also be processed into a semi-arc shape to facilitate gripping.  When using it, put the corn scraper on the ground, hold it with one hand, and use the other hand to slide a corn cob in the groove on the front from top to bottom, and rub the corn against the iron scraping bar.  Come down.  Even a small child can do this job, and it is much less labor-intensive and safer than using a screwdriver to poke corn cobs.  If there are many children in the family, when it comes time to rub the corn, they will all be grabbing the corn grater, but no one will rush to rub the corn.  The hand holding the corn wiper should cover the square hole and block the corn wiped off to prevent them from splashing everywhere.  However, children often like to deliberately screw with adults. What they like most is to deliberately leak out the holes and splash corns everywhere. The more naughty ones even open the holes to others, and the corn kernels splashed out will hit them.  Forget it, but it still hurts a little when hit on the face, and naturally it will inevitably provoke a scolding from an adult Every time you wipe a line, turn the corn again and wipe again.  In just a few times, the corn cobs will become densely covered with ravines. Using a corn shaft to rub them will easily remove the corn kernels.  Xu Yi¡¯s family only has a few acres of dry land, so naturally he also has a corn grater. Xu Yi has been using that grater since he can remember.  Every winter during the slack season, he and Lao Tao used this corn scraper to rub all the corn off year after year.  He didn't know what kind of wood it was made of, but it was obviously old.  After years of use, the entire eraser not only has the grooves on the front, but even the back has been rubbed by hands until it is shiny and shiny, with a light yellow luster. The nail in the middle, made of a straightened horseshoe, is also shiny.  There is no trace of rust at all, and the top is polished to a rounded luster.  ¡°In recent years, I haven¡¯t really polished the corn anymore. Every year, the village helped harvest it, found a machine to remove the kernels, and paid him after deducting the cost.  Over the past few years, I don¡¯t know what the corn wiper has become, and I don¡¯t even know if it can be used.  Xu Yi just thought about it, but in the end he didn't do it - after all, the inside of this space is really different from the outside.  After all, when you rub corn by yourself, it's not really for eating or selling, but basically for making seeds. Obviously you can't use a corn grater.  Not everything is better when it¡¯s new than when it¡¯s old, and that¡¯s the case with the corn wiper.  The angle of the corn scraper can also be adjusted manually to make it suitable for your own corn varieties. However, the sharp tip on the top can only be worn over many years to smooth out the edges and become rounded enough to make it easier to use.  In rural areas, as long as you can make something by yourself, basically no one will ask anyone to make it or spend money to buy it.  But after all, not everyone has a lot of handy tools, so they can only adapt to local conditions and make do with what they have.  Sometimes when making housework, I don¡¯t have a round plane, so I just find a piece of broken glass, broken bowl crumbs, etc. to scrape the surface smooth.  Like a sickle or something, most of it is picked up from a suitable oak tree and cut down, and a section of bark is left on the handle to increase friction.  If you want to polish it thoroughly before finishing it, you definitely can't do it without the right tools, so most of the time you just use it after it's almost done.  The tools processed in this way cannot be called perfect, but they will gradually become more satisfactory after years of use.  However, if a poorly polished grater is used to rub corn, it will easily damage the corn germ. It does not matter if you use it to eat. After all, the germ will be removed during the rice milling process and become part of the rice bran. Otherwise, the oil and water content will be too high.  The germ of the rice is mixed in the rice noodles, which is prone to insects and even mold during storage.  But if used as seeds, if the embryo is damaged, it may not germinate.  Xu YiI also have a vague suspicion that if I really make a corn wiper myself, unless the wiper strips are polished before installation and the angle can be adjusted during installation, the result may be better.  I really only use this eraser in space. It¡¯s hard to say whether I can make the eraser strips round and smooth with normal use.  Those tools that I have used before, whether they are chisels, band saws, axes, etc., I only polished them carefully when I first got them.  However, after being used for so long, those tools are still as sharp as if they had just been sharpened. The reason why they can remain so must have something to do with space.  ¡°In the outside world, even if it¡¯s not hardwood, like when I cut down trees and process wood every day, these tools should be terribly dull long ago. I don¡¯t know how many times they should have been sharpened.  For example, the lubricating oil in the pot of the chain saw was gone long ago, and I didn't add any more lubricating oil. However, other than the lack of lubricating oil in the saw blade, I didn't notice any change. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  The efficiency of manual work is too low, and everything in the space must be done by yourself. As long as you don't spend much money, it is better to use machines if you can use them.  Save a little time on everything, and save yourself from being trapped in this space all day long.  As for why the thresher is not used, the reason is simpler, it can¡¯t be done.  Even outside the space, except for small plots of land or places where machines cannot enter, manual sowing is done. Nowadays, it is all big ridges and double rows. If sowing by machine, only three or four seeds can be planted in one ridge and two rows.  Even so, four or five kilograms of seeds per acre are enough.  Waiting for the seedlings to germinate and then thin them out manually. Of course, there are still places where seedlings are lacking, but most of the seedlings are simply thrown into the furrows and slowly dry up and rot.  There is only such a small amount of land in the space, and not even a few kilograms of corn are used.  However, there are no machines in the space, so everything has to be done manually.  There is no need for Xu Yi to pursue the yield blindly. For the convenience of operation, Xu Yi plants in single rows.  In this way, the amount of seeds consumed by hand sowing is almost half that of the machine. In addition, in order to avoid thinning out the seedlings, he only sows one seed in each pot. After all, the seeds will sprout and grow as long as they are buried in the soil and watered.  Not much time for thinning.  If you throw two seeds next to each other, they will inevitably compete for fertilizer and light. Even if they are in space, they may not be able to grow well.  This problem has been discovered when planting before. Although the total yield is definitely high, the plumpness of the corn kernels is still a bit poor, so it is impossible to apply fertilizer or anything else.  This can save a lot. In addition, the corn seeds are much smaller than hybrid corn seeds. If one acre of land is wasted, a pound of seeds will be enough. If there is time to toss the machine, the corn will have been planted.  We still don¡¯t know whether this threshing opportunity will damage the embryo.  It doesn't matter if the ratio is low, but I'm afraid if the ratio is too high, then even if the seeds are planted again in the future, the seeds will still have to be threshed by hand.  Hold a corn cob in each hand, lean it together, and then rub the hands in opposite directions. The corn kernels at the junction will rub against each other, fall off the corn cob, and fall into the bamboo plaque.  .  But after a while, there were only a few corn kernels left on the two corn cobs except for the not very well developed corn on the tip of the corn cob.  After all, they are used as seeds. Even if the incompletely developed corns on the tips can germinate, their seedling vigor will be very poor.  Other corn stalks can grow up to an inch thick, but this one is not even as thick as a thumb. Either it cannot produce corn cobs, or it can only harvest a small corn cob until the old autumn.  It grows too slowly. By the time we are waiting for the corn to ear, the corn in the field has already been filled. This has also resulted in poor pollination, and there are only a few kernels on the entire corn cob.  In the village, this kind of corn is called "Autumn Immortality" - as the name suggests, corn that is not old in autumn.  When harvesting corn at home, there would occasionally be corn like this. Most of it was boiled or burned and went into Xu Yi's stomach. After all, it was autumn, and young corn was considered a rare thing, so it always felt special.  of sweetness.  Even if the corn is broken, the corn stalks are often chopped off and eaten like sugar cane, which is also sweet So Xu Yi is not prepared to rub them off anymore. If he raises chickens and ducks, he may rub them off and use them as feed.  However, it was obvious that apart from himself, there were only two foxes left in the house that were living creatures, so even if they were rubbed off, it would be of no use.  So he just rubbed the normal-sized corn kernels off the corn cob, threw the corn cob aside, and grabbed two more corn kernels from the bamboo plaque.  It didn¡¯t take long for Xu Yi to finish rolling the corn, and he shook the bamboo plaque, which weighed about twenty or thirty kilograms.  Use a sieve and dustpan to simply clean out the impurities and unqualified seeds and put them into bags. Xu Yi carried them directly to the open space.  Although the work was done by hand, a lot of things were omitted. It only took less than two days to plant two or three acres of corn.  AllAfter planting, I watered it with a kettle, and everything grew up again, with ears heading
