The harvested rapeseed was not stacked but spread out directly on the threshing floor to dry.

The weather has been good these days, and the sun is shining warmly on the ground, which is perfect for harvesting and drying crops.

Han Cheng had to take advantage of the fact that God had given him this opportunity. If he didn't take advantage of this rare chance to dry the rapeseed, he would be in big trouble if God got unhappy and it rained.

After all, this is not the future. In the future, when the grain is stored in the threshing floor and it rains, it can be covered with plastic sheets and wait for the weather to clear up.

It’s not possible now. Not to mention plastic sheets, there’s not even any straw…

Once it rains, Han Cheng can't think of any other way except to rush to transport some deer to the deer pen where Uncle Deer and his companions live.

A thick layer of rapeseed has spread out on the threshing floor, and water is rapidly evaporating under the sunlight of late spring and early summer.

Han Cheng, who was not yet fully grown, was turning the rapeseed that was drying in the sun with a wooden fork in his hand. While turning it, he tried to loosen it as much as possible to facilitate ventilation and speed up the evaporation of water.

Han Cheng put his right hand in front and his left hand behind, and used a wooden fork to poke some rapeseed. Then he lifted his right hand, which was in front and close to the rapeseed, up a little bit, and pressed down with his left hand at the back at the same time. Under the principle of leverage that can even lift up the earth, the rapeseed was naturally picked up easily.

Then, based on this posture, tilt the top of the wooden fork slightly downwards and shake it continuously a few times, and the rapeseed on the wooden fork will fall off one after another. Change to a comfortable posture and continue to enjoy the sunbath.

For Han Cheng, who had been used to farm work since childhood, such a thing was not difficult. Even though he had lived two lives now, he could still turn the field with a wooden fork with ease.

Mu Tou and others who had just started to come into contact with these things felt uncomfortable. These strange-looking wooden sticks were not easy to use no matter how they tried, and they were not as fast as using their hands.

But the Son of God did not allow them to do that. They had to use this strange-looking stick to do these tasks.

Looking at the Son of God who was demonstrating skillfully using the strange stick called 'wooden fork' not far away, Mu Tou and the others were secretly amazed, and had to try their best to imitate the Son of God to do these things that they had never done before.

Han Cheng turned over for a while, then looked back at the wood and others who were clumsily using the wooden fork and struggling to turn over the rapeseed. He couldn't help sniffing. Isn't it said that "there is no need to learn farm work, just do what others do?" (zhuo second tone) "Why are these guys learning so slowly?"

This made Han Cheng, who wanted to teach them as soon as possible, throw the wooden fork aside and find a shady place to relax, very helpless.

Alas, I was destined to be a hard worker. It is not easy even if I become the Son of God and wear the outer garment of God.

He sighed with some peace of mind, wiped the sweat from his forehead, dragged the wooden fork in one hand, walked up to the wood workers and started teaching them step by step.

This wooden fork was specially made by Han Cheng to welcome the first batch of grain harvested by the Qingque tribe.

The structure of the wooden fork is very simple. It is a wooden stick with a diameter of about four centimeters and a length of one meter and five or six meters. At the top of the stick are three forked sticks that are as thick as a thumb and about forty centimeters long.

There is a distance of about twenty centimeters between the three wooden sticks.

These three are called 'fork teeth' (I don't know if this is the right word). The small wooden stick and the wooden handle are not straight. They have a certain curvature and are bent downwards. After the curvature is about ten centimeters deep, it continues to extend forward.

And at the top of the place where the three 'tines' intersect, there is a small wooden stick that protrudes upward and is about two or three centimeters long.

This is done to make it easier for the wooden fork to scoop up enough rapeseed, while also preventing the forked rapeseed from slipping off.

When Han Cheng was a child in later generations, every year when the wheat season was about to begin, there would be many people selling wooden pitchforks on the street, as well as long-handled brooms, iron sickles, rakes, straw hats, whetstones and other things related to the busy farming season.

The market at that time was probably the busiest time except for the period before the Chinese New Year.

After all, every household has to go to the market and buy some things.

Otherwise, once the wheat is harvested, it will be difficult to find time to go to the market.

Wooden forks in later generations were mostly made of mulberry wood. People who specialized in producing wooden forks generally had mulberry orchards. Of course, these were different from the mulberry orchards used for raising silkworms.

There are basically no big mulberry trees in the mulberry orchards that produce wooden forks, only small ones.

If you cut the mulberry tree at the roots in the first year, many new shoots will grow in the spring of the second year.

After the sprouts have grown into normal branches, we will choose one or two that are growing straight and strong from each plant and keep them, and the rest will be cut off from the roots.

When the remaining ones grow to one or two meters high, the tops of the mulberry branches will be cut off about one meter and a half or six meters above the ground.

After the head is cut off, new branches will grow from here after a period of time, but of course they are not just one branch.

When the new branches grow a little bigger, the rest will be broken off, leaving only three that are about the same distance apart.

After a while, the three wooden strips that are about to become the 'fork tines' will begin to be modified. They will be pinched into the required curvature and fixed. After a period of time, they will maintain this posture and will not change back.

During this process, a small wooden stick in a suitable position will be selected and left behind, which is the small wooden plug at the intersection of the three 'tines' at the top of the wooden fork.

When the mulberry trees have grown to a certain size, they will be cut down.

While they are still wet, burn them in the fire with the skin on, and use this opportunity to correct any imperfections. After the mulberry wood becomes cool, the previously made shape will be completely fixed and will not change.

Then peel off the bark and use tools such as an axe or a plane to shape it, and a wooden fork will be ready.

Han Cheng had not been here long, and had not thought about doing the Mu Cha business before. It was not until the rape flowers fell that he remembered this matter.

It is obviously impossible to make a wooden fork like the ones used in later generations.

Fortunately, there were many trees in the primitive era, and after some effort he finally found some that could be used.

After chopping it down with difficulty with a stone axe, he brought it to the outside of the tribal wall, lit a fire, and called for help from Lame, who was busy burning mortise and tenon holes on the wooden pillars to make a wooden ladder.

After burning it with fire, start to transform the wooden stick into a fork.

Although the final wooden fork was not in very good condition, it was only slightly better than the defective products of later generations, but it was still usable.
