Chapter 780

If one wanted to taste it, they could only try a small amount of rice.

I don't know how many jin per mu this will yield; it will only be known after later statistics.

After Ying Zheng and Ying Ying Zi Ye tried it, they stood and watched the others work.

After experiencing the fun of this harvest, they were all satisfied.

"Ye'er, you even tinkered with this sickle and threshing machine."

"Is there a way for hulling?"

Ying Zheng suddenly thought of Great Qin's hulling method.

Now that there was so much rice, hulling was also a major project.

If they used the previous methods, I don't know when this huge project would be completed.

"Those who gave birth to me are my mother, and those who know me are my father."

"There really is a way."

"However, that rice milling machine is a bit clumsy and wasn't brought over."

Ying Ying Zi Ye withdrew his gaze and answered seriously.

Ying Zheng was stunned upon hearing this.

He was just asking casually.

He didn't expect there really was one.

Even the things for hulling had been developed.

This kid really had some stuff in him.

I really don't know what he is thinking in his mind.

How can he tinker with everything?

"Rice milling machine?"

"Were these things manufactured in the Academy of Sciences?"

Ying Zheng muttered to himself; the role of the Academy of Sciences was not small.

All kinds of strange things came out.

But it seemed quite good.

In this way, it facilitated the people of Great Qin.

These new gadgets were much simpler and faster than the previous utensils.

"Your Majesty, Prince, there really is a rice milling machine brought over."

Wang Li had just walked over and heard His Majesty asking about hulling.

When he went to move things, Mo Jiu had told him there was a rice milling machine.

"There really is one?"

"Take me to see it."

Ying Zheng became interested immediately upon hearing this.

"Your Majesty, please this way."

Wang Li led the way.

Soon they arrived next to an ox cart.

"Is this the rice milling machine?"

Ying Zheng looked at the large millstone, which was a person tall, with some surprise.

This object was round and divided into upper and lower millstones.

A wooden stick protruded from the upper millstone.

The top layer was a large funnel in the shape of a winnowing basket.

It looked like the rice should be put inside.

"Father, this is the rice milling machine."

"The top one is for storing rice."

"The upper millstone has a large wooden stick; rotating it can create friction with the lower millstone."

"The gap between the two millstones can also be adjusted."

"Adjusting the gap larger is for hulling, and adjusting it smaller is for grinding into powder."

"This millstone design serves two purposes, with many uses; you only know after experiencing it."

Ying Ying Zi Ye introduced the role of this millstone.

Ying Zheng got on the ox cart directly; he wanted to take a close look at this thing.

After observing it, he found that this thing seemed quite simple.

It was just two millstones with many patterns inside, hulling through friction.

It was still quite innovative.

Ordinary people really couldn't think of such a design.

"I really want to experiment with it."

"I reckon it will be much faster than Great Qin's previous hulling method."

Ying Zheng evaluated it after examining it.

"Father, the rice is not dry yet, so it can't be hulled."

"This will certainly be much faster than Great Qin's hulling."

"And this doesn't require manual labor."

"You can use horses, donkeys, cows, or even pigs."

"Just put them in a frame tied to the millstone and drive them in circles."

"Simple, convenient, and fast, beating Great Qin's hulling method."

Ying Ying Zi Ye was still very confident about this point.

After all, the utensils of this era were too backward. ===== CHAPTER 782 =====
