Chapter 494 (2/2)

Therefore, we should seize the time to harvest while the weather is fine.

As for joy, let alone happiness.

No matter who sees that heavy corn cob, his face will always be filled with happy smile involuntarily.

It's all grain! With so much food, we can have a comfortable winter again.

Even the stone bears rolled up their sleeves to harvest with the tribe.

At this time, there is no combine harvester. Harvesting corn is the most primitive method.

First of all, the heavy corn cobs were broken off one by one with manhole. Then a large number of half year old children were busy sending the broken corn cobs to the ground. Then there were adults spreading the broken corn cobs to dry.

When the corn cob is broken, it starts to use the polished straw to dig the corn stalk.

Kuaitou is also one of the farming tools stone bear carried over, and the efficiency is pretty good.

But it's really a skill to use it. If it's not accurate, you may be able to dig your own feet. When the clansmen used this device to dig corn stalks before, few people were injured because of this.

In fact, if the corn stalks were burned directly, it would not be impossible, but the land in Monongahela is rich enough, so there is no need to burn corn stalks to increase the fertility of the land. Another is that after the corn straw is broken, it is one of the good feeds for bison and war horse. No one is willing to burn the corn straw.

As for the dried corn cobs, they can be sent to the ”threshing room” by the river for threshing, and then they can be collected into the granary.

Corn is the staple food of Indians, but corn cob threshing is a very troublesome thing.

In the past, people used to thresh corn cobs manually, which was not only tiring but also inefficient.

Later, Shi Xiong moved the old thresher from his hometown. After a little improvement, he changed the pedal thresher into a hydraulic thresher.

The huge waterwheel drives the thresher head in the thresher to rotate rapidly through the gear. The thresher just needs to put the corn cobs into the head, and the gear in the head can take off the corn kernels, leaving a complete corn bag.

These things are not difficult for the stone bear. He was born in a farm family when he was young. He knows these things like the back of his hand.

But for the Indians of this era, this thing is an artifact!

The speed of autumn harvest is very fast. In only five or six days, the whole corn field of Monongahela has been harvested. After drying and threshing, the corn was put into a compact bag made of brown grass, and then stacked on the cart.

The newly harvested corn, together with other materials, will be transported out of here by a steady stream of ox carts and sent to Shangjing.

At the end of the autumn harvest, Wang Ting's relocation work started at the same time

Stone bear once again came to the hillside of the hill, watching the winding ox cart convoy gradually disappear in the distant mountains under the escort of the soldiers of the fierce bear army, he knew that with the completion of the relocation of the royal court, the Cherokee people would usher in a new peak of development!
