After the yard of the Qu family was cleaned up, it happened to enter the eighth month of the lunar calendar.

This year's leap month is March, and most of the crops in the township are early-maturing varieties, just after August, the crops in the field are full of harvest.

The bud rice stick is more than a foot long, and the bract skin on the outside can no longer be wrapped, revealing half of the full golden bud rice grains, just like the teeth of a little doll, which looks particularly festive.

The soybeans in the field have already turned yellow leaves, and the soybean stalks are densely covered with pods.

The purple-red ears of sorghum bent down heavily, swaying in the ground with the breeze, as if to tell the people to come and harvest.

Other crops, such as millet and millet, are also growing well this year, and this year's bumper harvest is shown everywhere.

On the third day of the first month of August, Secretary Han announced the opening of the autumn harvest, and the production teams took people to the field to harvest crops.

The rare harvest scene made everyone smile from ear to ear, and even Secretary Han and others were smiling and happy.

"Okay, good, it's really good, look at it, this year's harvest in our township has more than doubled compared to previous years.

If this is the case every year in the future, what are we worried about? Secretary Han broke off a stick of bud rice, weighed it in his hand, and smiled even happier.

"This new variety is good, you look at how rare this bud is long, the stick is so long, and the grain is big, it's really good."

"This year, each production team can keep their own seeds, and the four teams in Daying Township can put the seeds together and put them in the seed warehouse in the township.

Such a good seed must be kept well, and nothing can go wrong. ”

"Leave the seeds, and the remaining one-third will be kept for the public grain and the grain purchased by the superiors, one-third will be divided into rations for each family, and the remaining one-third will be reserved for the reserve grain in our township."

Qiao Lian mentioned to Secretary Han before that this year's grain output is high, and all the rations cannot be distributed to every household.

The township should set aside a part of the grain reserve in case of emergency.

This year's climate is good, the crops in the field are growing well, coupled with the careful care of the big guys, it is conservatively estimated that this year's bud rice yield per mu can reach more than 800 catties.

In previous years, one acre of land was two hundred and fifty or sixty catties, but it was okay to have three hundred catties.

In contrast, the method proposed by Secretary Han has greater benefits.

Moreover, leaving a reserve of grain can be prevented in case, and if there is really any natural or man-made disaster, the reserve grain can also save lives.

Secretary Han has a long-term vision and agrees with Qiaolian's proposal, and before the autumn harvest, he has discussed it with the township cadres and the captains of various production teams, and it will be implemented in accordance with this method.

The autumn harvest is undoubtedly joyful, but it is even more tiring, especially since this year's grain production is high, and it is more tiring than in previous years.

But no matter how tired they are, they can't resist the enthusiasm of the big guys to work, everyone feels full of energy, and they can't wait to move the grain in the field until they can't finish it.

After half a month of busy work, all the crops in the field were harvested, and sorghum, soybeans, and millet were also threshed and dried and put into storage.

There are only buds left, and the threshing is not yet complete. The main thing is that the threshing of buds is purely manual, and the women work all day long, but they are not fast.

Qiaolian took a look, this threshing stick by stick, what year will it take?

This year's bud rice production is so good, waiting for all the buds to be threshed, and not allowed to enter the wax moon? That's not going to work. After thinking about it, Qiao Lian finally gritted her teeth and found Secretary Han.

"Uncle Han, it's not good to threshh the bud rice like this, and you can't do much work in a day when you're tired.

I have a drawing here, it's a small hand-cranked threshing machine, is there any place in our county where I can make it? ”

Qiao Lian took out a few pieces of paper, which were the structural drawings of a small hand-cranked corn thresher.

Originally, Qiao Lian wanted to buy ten or eight units directly from the system to use them, but this thing is not available at all now, and she is afraid that this lie will not be fulfilled.

In desperation, I had to buy one myself, dismantle it with the help of Qu Weiyang, and then draw a structural diagram according to it.

"There are no blacksmiths in our township now, otherwise this blacksmith would have been able to do this. I was thinking of asking Uncle Han, do you know where to do this?

It's a very simple thing, put the bud rice stick in from here, and the bud rice grains and bud rice bones come out from the bottom, which is much stronger than ours hand-picked. ”

Qiao Lian took the drawings and explained to Secretary Han.

At first, Secretary Han didn't understand it, but as soon as Qiaolian explained, Secretary Han's eyes immediately widened.

"Oh, that's a good thing, how much effort can we save if we have this thing? Wait, I'll figure it out.

In this way, I took the drawings and went to Secretary Qiao.

Now the steel pipe is too strict, and the amount of money in our township is not enough, if Secretary Qiao can help find a way, it is estimated that it will be almost the same. ”

Secretary Han took those pieces of paper, cherished them in his arms, and then rode to the county.

Qiao Lian thought that even if Secretary Han invited Secretary Qiao, it would take ten days and a half months to make this threshing machine.

But unexpectedly, on the fifth day after Secretary Han sent the drawings, the county actually called, saying that he was going to the county to pick up the thresher.

Qiao Lian was surprised, is it possible that the work efficiency of these years is so high?

"Uncle Han, I'll go with you to get it, just to see if it's what I drew on the drawing." Qiao Lian was a little unconvinced, so she took the initiative to ask to go to the county seat with her.

So a few cadres in the township drove two carriages and went to the county. came to the county government to find Secretary Qiao, and Secretary Qiao smiled when he saw Qiaolian.

"Comrade Chen's brain is so lively that he can even come up with a thresher.

I have found a lot of people to study, and they all say that this threshing machine is feasible, the threshing effect must be very good, and it is a good thing to save labor and effort.

So I immediately found someone to try to make it, tried it before, and it was really easy to use, much faster than manual. ”

"Ahem, that, that's what the county thinks, this thresher is good, and I want to vigorously promote it, so we won't return this drawing to you."

There is no intellectual property rights in these years, and there are no invention and design patents, since the people above have taken a fancy to the threshing machine, it is normal to want to use drawings and designs.

Qiaolian didn't expect the threshing machine to make money, she just wanted to get a tool to work.

Besides, these years are about selfless dedication, but it's just a threshing machine drawing, and it's not a rare thing.

"Secretary, you're polite, this is a gadget I made on a whim, and I don't know if it can work.

Since this thing has been confirmed to be useful, I also hope that it can be promoted, at least to save manpower.

As long as it is beneficial to the masses, you can use it. "Who is Qiaolian? Don't you know how to say this pretty thing?

Secretary Qiao was overjoyed, and directly promised that the ten threshers in Daying Village were sent by the county, so there was no need for Daying Township to pay for them, which made Secretary Han happy enough.
