"Okay." Chen Shilan said, "Uncle Xu, let me go with you. I need to ask if this skin can be used to make something like a sleeve guard, or who would be the best person to do it. I'm happy to help you carry all these wolf skins. They're quite heavy."
"That would be great!"
So Chen Shilan and Xu's father pushed the cart and followed Maotou to transport the wolf skins.
"Dad!! Wait for me!" Xu Tiantu trotted after him. She was really curious about this kind of thing.
Wolf skin!!
Wow!!
Grandma Xu kept shouting "slow down" as she watched. Speaking of sewing wolf skin, even Grandma Xu, who was a jack of all trades in needlework, could not help because she had never seen such a thing since she was a child.
She washed her hands, wiped them on her apron, and hurried to cook.
Because of what happened with the wolves last night, the time for the villagers to go to the fields today was delayed a little, so she had to cook something so that the men in the family could have time to eat.
Otherwise, where would you get the energy to work throughout the day?
The time travelers planned to go to the fields today with their earth-turning tools. Their backs and waists were sore from working so hard the past few days, and they would be fools not to use the tools if they had them!!
But some time travelers are really, really unreliable!!
Even though he knew he was traveling back to the 1960s, he didn't even bring basic farming tools like hoes, sickles, and hatchets, let alone tools for tilling the soil and farming.
At most, there are only a dozen or so, but this thing is considered a technical trend in this era. I will go there today to show it to the people who can make it and have a look. I believe it will be launched soon.
The time travelers have already started to pre-order it. After all, there are carpenters and blacksmiths among them. But I don’t know how much it will cost after it is completed. Or would it be cheaper to just have someone deliver it directly?
Can’t use a too high-tech appearance...
However, no one has made a decision yet. After all, if someone in the village places an order, they can just hire someone to make it at the same price. After all, it is a production line.
There are many types of soil turning tools, some use oil, some use electricity, and some are purely human-powered. Of course, they cannot use products that require energy, so they use the ones recommended for pure labor.
There are actually quite a lot of types of this thing. In this era, you only need to choose the style. In fact, there is no big problem just looking at the appearance. Maybe it can be promoted.
The cheapest type looks a bit like a rake, but with a fork pointing forward instead of a rake. The back of the fork is hollowed out, and you hold the long handle and insert the fork into the ground, stepping into the hollow space to maximize the force, while the fork is positioned so that you can shovel the soil at the same time.
But this thing is extremely sharp. The fork in the front is almost as long as your forearm, and the handle in the back can be made of metal or wood.
In fact, the function of this thing is similar to that of a shovel, but a shovel is too difficult for ordinary people to use. They are actually very lacking in strength and technique. However, it is different with this fork artifact. Even a big fool can loosen the soil well.
There's a bit of leverage involved.
But the ones with full metal handles are still not available for use. You know, there is a severe shortage of iron in this country. Who has such a luxury?
However, this thing is not without conditions for use. It is very difficult to use on particularly hard surfaces or places with a lot of gravel underneath, and the strength requirements are also relatively high.
But compared with traditional iron cattails and iron climbers, it is certainly better.
In addition to this style, there is also a ground-turning tool with wheels and a scissor-style handle at the back for easy balance control.
There is a tire in the front, which saves effort, and there is a hard triangular metal at the back, which can easily chisel through even the hardest ground.
There are also different plowshares to choose from.
But this thing also has a limitation in use. It requires loosening the soil underneath first, so that it will be easier to clean the top.
The plowshare at the back is quite durable, but since it's made entirely of metal and has a leather tire at the back, getting it out and using it is a problem. Everyone is already thinking about removing the leather tire cover and replacing it with a wooden one. And the handle needs to be hidden with old cloth.
Otherwise, it’s not that this structure cannot appear here, but it is really a bit too luxurious. Everyone thinks that to be on the safe side, maybe we can ask the couriers to pass on the message and ask them to bring some more...traditional old-fashioned styles?
But with this thing, you don't need Lao Niu anymore.
This thing is actually really good, it can weed, plow, and loosen the soil, it’s perfect! !
Of course, there are alternatives. There are simple small tires and products in the opposite direction, but they are still made of metal. However, because the tire only has a frame, it would be better to use it here.
Xu Tiantu bought a lot of second-hand things like this at that time, and it just happened that he could use them now. After all, old stuff is always less conspicuous than new stuff.
Today, Dad Xu and his friends are going to go to the fields with this magical artifact and the fork they used before. Dad Xu even disguised it by wrapping the fork and the wheel handle with old cloth strips. He wants to use them more often so that they will be easier to use when they get dirty... right?
Grandma Xu and Mom Xu were preparing food for the family.
A pot of water per person is a must, but in addition to the large kettle, there is also a pot of herbal tea with a little sugar in it. You can drink whichever you want.
