Chapter 41 A sumptuous meal
In the next two days, Lin Zhensheng frequently traveled between wheat fields and duck farms.
The former thrives without any problems, while the latter has a few minor problems.
Originally, the feed was enough for heaven and earth, and it was enough to eat.
But the duck's food intake can be seen with the naked eye.
The old duck still looks the same, but those little ducks grow very fast and eat a lot.
From twenty kilograms of fish cakes mixed with twenty kilograms of corn feed, to now twenty kilograms of fish cakes mixed with eighty kilograms of corn feed.
You can't imagine that every time Lin Zhensheng passes by the duck farm, the ducks are waiting to be fed, biting him and making quacking sounds.
One hundred!
A whole hundred ducks.
Lin Zhensheng also didn't expect that the reproductive ability of ducks is so strong, with seventy-seven being hatched in one litter.
Each duck needs to eat one kilogram of mixed feed every day, which is just enough now. But if any duck has a big appetite, the feed will not be enough on the spot.
Lin Zhensheng thought about it again and again, but still did not increase the number of fishing traps because the wheat will mature tomorrow.
When the wheat is harvested, the outer layer of broken husks (also called chaff) can be used to feed ducks.
【Day 2:23:59:22】
After noon, the crops in the fields matured one after another.
Lin Zhensheng led people to start harvesting in the fields.
The corn was transported back to the territory on wooden carts and piled in the small square in front of Lin Zhensheng's thatched shed, while the wheat was spread neatly on the east road.
The sun gradually sets, and the harvest of the cultivated land is completed. When night falls, everyone has returned to the small square of the territory to pick corn.
Another day of exposure to the sun.
Everyone began to beat the wheat plants, and then collected the wheat grains that fell on the ground.
Lin Zhensheng originally planned to buy a stone grinder for shelling, but there was no one on the market, and there was a queue at the workbench. He had no choice but to buy the finished product.
Wooden hull, cylinder, about one meter in diameter, empty in the middle.
This thing has the same principle as a stone grinder. It separates the shells from the wheat through grinding and squeezing. It is a professional shelling tool.
After that, sift it with a dustpan and it's ready to go.
As for how to grind it into powder.
Lin Zhensheng has put in a lot of effort.
As I said before, there is no stone mill, and there is no stone mill blueprint on the workbench, so you can only make it yourself.
Finally, Lin Zhensheng got a stone pillar, tied it to a wooden cart, and pressed it on the east road again and again. A small team followed behind, collecting the coarse powdery wheat flour bit by bit.
Maybe some friends said at this time: "Ah? The ground is so dirty! Isn't all the flour buried?"
Lin Zhensheng didn't want to think about it. If he had a stone grinder, it wouldn't be like this. But there is no other way, and the floor is wiped clean.
Just this little work, more than ninety people in the territory worked hard for two days.
At last statistics, the total corn output was 6,000 kilograms, with an average yield of 120 kilograms per mu.
Wheat is less, with a total output of 5,250 kilograms, and an average yield of 105 kilograms per mu. However, the weight is reduced after shelling, and the wheat flour is made into wheat flour after secondary processing, totaling 4,500 kilograms.
Great harvest.
In Lin Zhensheng's eyes, as long as there is no reduction in production, it will be a bumper harvest every time.
The citizens were overjoyed, and everyone was extremely happy.
And the ducks can also be put into the market.
At noon, Lin Zhensheng went to feed them and found that they were already big enough, each weighing six or seven kilograms.
He didn't know what this meant, but the cook knew it, and said bluntly: "Lord, I need an assistant."
That night in the territory, we ate roast duck, drank fish soup, ate corn, and swallowed white-flour steamed buns.
There was a very rich meal on the table, and everyone enjoyed it.
Lin Zhensheng was holding the fish soup and taking sips of it. His body felt warm, and his heart felt even warmer.
This work is not in vain!
Comfortable!
………………
After a night's rest, Lin Zhensheng had a good sleep. When he opened his eyes, there were only three seconds left in the blood-red countdown.
【0 days:00:00:03】
【0 days:00:00:02】
【0 days:00:00:01】
[Danger Alert: Crystal Hail] has begun.
But he was still lying on the bed motionless, just squinting out of the window.
There was no change in the sky, and the breeze still slowly pushed the white clouds to move, outlining a peaceful scenery of time. Until a "bang" sounded, breaking all the tranquility.
The fact that hailstones fall on a sunny day is not the point. The point is that each of these hailstones is crystal clear and shines a little bit as it falls from the sky.
The sun was shining high, making the entire sky seem to be decorated with sparkling special effects.
Lin Zhensheng listened to the symphony on the roof, leaned in front of the window, and looked at the hail hitting the ground.
It’s the size of a soybean, with sharp corners, and each side reflects the sun’s rays.
If Lin Zhensheng didn't know it was hail, he would have mistaken it for diamonds falling from the sky.
No wonder it’s called Crystal Hail, it originally came from here.
"Dang Dang Dang, Dang Dang Dang."
The crystal hail hit the earth foundation with a crisp sound, but it did not break. Instead, it jumped up and hit the grass wall.
Lin Zhensheng's collective eight-level grass wall in his territory is not afraid of this kind of harm at all.
As time slowly passes, the power of [Crystal Hail] is also slowly increasing.
The hailstones that were originally only the size of soybean grains have now grown to the size of cherries, hitting the roof of the shed with a muffled "boom boom boom~" sound.
This is not good news.
Lin Zhensheng frowned, watching the reinforced straw roof shaking as it was smashed, but at this moment he had no choice but to pray that the hail would not get bigger and [Danger Alert] hurry up.
However, things backfired.
A layer of uneven hail has accumulated on the ground in the territory, but the volume of hail falling from the sky continues to increase.
At this time, the crystal hail outside is already the size of an egg. When it falls on the ground, it can smash other hailstones into pieces. You can imagine how powerful it is.
Until there was a "bang", Lin Zhensheng was shocked by the scene above him.
The crystal hail has penetrated into the reinforced straw roof, but has not penetrated, only revealing a sharp water chestnut.
No!
I can’t stand it any more!
Lin Zhensheng looked at the sharp water chestnuts appearing one after another on the roof of the shed, and could only hide under the pillars.
Just when he was thinking about whether he should take refuge in the basement, a shrill scream came from the citizen's hut next door.
"Ah~~~~~~"
Just one sound.
But this sound was so powerful that it penetrated the sky, and the vibrating sound was mixed with incomparable pain.
What happened?
Could it be that the crystal hail hit someone and hurt someone?
Lin Zhensheng lay on the grass wall, trying to listen carefully to the sounds over there, but the sound of falling hail was all around him, and he couldn't hear it at all.
"What's going on?"
No one answered.
"Speak!!! How are you doing over there?"
I don’t know if it’s because there was too much banging noise around, or because of something else, but there was no reply.
"No one alive?"
"Just say something!!!"
Lin Zhensheng was so anxious that even though he shouted at the top of his lungs, he didn't get any response.
He didn't know what happened next door, but he knew what was about to happen to him.
Because a crystal hailstone fell down, penetrated the reinforced straw roof, rubbed Lin Zhensheng's ear, and was nailed to the pillar diagonally.
Chapter completed!
