Chapter 236: Follow Xu Ye and live a good life
Xu Ye spread the drawings of the threshing machine on the table, carefully checked it, and confirmed that no details were missed, and nodded with satisfaction.
The design of this threshing machine combines the practicality of traditional farm tools and the efficiency of modern machinery, which can greatly reduce farmers' labor intensity and improve harvesting efficiency. "Uncle Fan, Uncle Yang, come and see this." Xu Ye greeted Fan Dajun and Yang Zongming standing aside.
The two of them looked closer and their eyes lit up.
The threshing machine on the drawings is clear in structure and exquisite in design. Although they are not professional mechanics, they can also see the practicality of this machine.
"Xu Ye, your brain is so brilliant!"
Fan Dajun couldn't help but exclaim, "If this thing is made, our village's harvesting efficiency will double!"
Yang Zongming also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, your design is really amazing! When can we start doing it?"
Xu Ye smiled and pointed to the drawings on the table: "The drawings have been completed, and the next step is to make parts and assemble them."
"And I have made the gear mold needed, just pour it with molten iron, very quickly."
You may not be able to buy the right one now, so Xu Ye plans to pour it himself.
Anyway, it will take as long as this machine can be used, and you can just make another one if it is broken.
In addition, he also wanted to know whether making this threshing machine could obtain mechanical properties.
Yang Zongming and Fan Dajun were relieved when they heard that Xu Ye had made arrangements.
After all, this year there is insufficient manpower and a threshing machine is urgently needed.
After reading the drawings, Fan Dajun asked, "Do you need to arrange some people to help? I have more time now."
Xu Ye immediately said, "No, I can do all these by myself. Others may not be able to do them well."
"If you need people, just talk. No matter who it is, I will find a way to ask him to help." Fan Dajun gave a guarantee. "Okay, I'll ask you to arrange it if you need it." Xu Ye said with a good attitude.
With this, Fan Dajun and Yang Zongming left with confidence.
Xu Ye continued to work step by step, then processed the parts of the tile press.
The fire in the forging furnace is burning, continuously heating the iron blocks in the crucible.
As long as the iron is melted into molten iron, Xu Ye will use it to pour the gears.
Although this method is traditional and backward, it also requires high craftsmanship.
But Xu Ye has no other way. Today's machine tools cannot process these things, so they can only do this for the time being.
Xu Ye will naturally use machine tools to process it.
Xu Ye stared at the flames in the forging furnace attentively, and occasionally used iron pliers to turn the iron blocks in the crucible to ensure that they were evenly heated.
The fire shone on his face, and sweat slid down his forehead, but he was not distracted at all.
The iron block gradually turns red and eventually melts into hot iron.
He quickly poured the molten iron into the gear mold prepared in advance, with skillful and accurate movements.
The molten iron slowly cools in the mold and gradually solidifies into the shape of a gear.
Xu Ye waited patiently until the gears completely cooled down before carefully removing them.
"It's done!" Xu Ye looked at the gears in his hand with satisfaction. Although the surface was rough, the tooth spacing was even, which fully met his design requirements.
Just simply polish it and you can use it.
He put the gear aside and continued to add iron blocks into the crucible, preparing to continue pouring.
The threshing machine requires multiple gears, and he just poured only one of them.
After adding charcoal to the forging furnace, Xu Ye began to continue to create other parts, intending to build a threshing machine today.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Xu Ye's workbench was gradually filled with various parts.
Gears, bearings, transmission rods...Each part has been carefully polished and assembled.
Although his hands were covered in oil, he didn't care.
The final gears were also poured, and all the parts were complete.
Next, it is to use wooden boards to make the main body of the threshing machine.
This is also very simple for Xu Ye. After all, he has all kinds of wood, just choose the right one to make it.
A hour later, Xu Ye combined the threshing machines.
Looking at the finished product in front of him, Xu Ye was still very satisfied.
【Complete the mechanical threshing machine and obtain 2 points of mechanical properties. 】
It actually has two mechanical properties?
Xu Ye was quite surprised when he saw the prompt. "That's great, I'll give birth to you next." Xu Ye said excitedly.
This threshing machine is too easy to produce, and now there are many brigades who need it.
If it can be produced, it will definitely be very popular.
If you don’t say that there is too much, it’s okay to sell one for 20 yuan.
After all, this thing is very labor-saving and can be used for many years.
So, even if it is sold for thirty yuan, there is still a brigade who is willing to ask for it.
Not to mention anything else, Shangxi Village must have something to ask for, so you can give Xu Ye some orders.
As he was thinking, Jiang Ruoansheng's voice sounded outside. "Brother-in-law, it's time to have a meal."
Hearing Jiang Ruoan calling him, Xu Ye lifted the threshing machine and took it out directly. "Brother-in-law, this is this a threshing machine?" Jiang Ruoan looked at the machine that was raised above Xu Ye and asked involuntarily.
"Yes, take it to the brigade headquarters and let everyone see it." As he said that, Xu Ye walked towards the brigade headquarters with a threshing machine.
Jiang Ruoan nodded, ran home and said, and then followed him to the brigade headquarters.
At this time, we just started working, so there are more people in the brigade.
Xu Ye walked into the brigade with a threshing machine, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone gathered around and looked at the machine that looked both strange and novel in curiosity.
"Captain Xu, what's this thing? Why does it look like a big wooden box?" A middle-aged man scratched his head and asked in confusion.
Xu Ye smiled, put the threshing machine on the ground, patted the wooden shell on the machine, and explained, "This is a threshing machine, I just made it."
"With it, we no longer have to rely on manpower to harvest rice, which saves time and effort, and can double the efficiency!"
"Threshing machine?" Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this.
Although they had never seen such a machine, they immediately became interested when they heard that it could save labor and improve efficiency.
"Captain Xu, how do you use this thing? Can you demonstrate it to us?" someone asked impatiently.
Xu Ye nodded and said, "Okay, I'll demonstrate it to you now."
As he said, he directly carried some grasses, which had some grass seeds on them, which happened to be suitable for demonstration.
As for the rice, it is not yet mature, so naturally it cannot be cut to demonstrate.
Holding the grass, Xu Ye's feet stepped on the wooden pole of the threshing machine. The wooden pole drives the gears to rotate, and then drives the threshing barrel to rotate.
Xu Ye put the grass up and the seeds on it were knocked down. "Oh, this machine is so amazing!" Everyone was stunned and exclaimed. "Captain Xu, your brain is so smart! This thing is much faster than when we use wooden barrels to beat it!" an old farmer said excitedly.
"Captain Xu, can you let me try it and see if I can use it, the old man."
"Of course it's OK, but it's up to everyone to give more suggestions and see what else can be improved."
So, the old man immediately learned from Xu Ye to step on the threshing machine.
Soon, he started to fight forage. "It's easy to use. This machine is easy to use, and it's very labor-saving. It's very easy to step on." The old man said excitedly.
"I'll try too, let me try too."
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Everyone is rushing to try it out, and they all want to see the wonderful uses of this threshing machine. "Xu Ye, you're so fast that you've made one in a day." Fan Dajun excitedly patted Xu Ye's arm, and his face was filled with smiles. "Many parts were done before, so today it's so fast." Xu Ye explained.
"How many units can be produced?"
"The cost of this one is not cheap, right?" Fan Dajun asked directly. "Add to add artificial things, it costs at least 15 yuan." Xu Ye gave a quote.
Fan Dajun glanced at the threshing machine and then said, "In this way, how about buying a brigade for 25 yuan?"
"You can't just make you work in vain, you still have to make a little profit."
"Now, one in the county town needs to be sold for 29 yuan, but you can't get it."
When Xu Ye heard Fan Dajun's offer, he was delighted that the price was 5 yuan more than he expected.
So, he said calmly: "Okay, this price is very fair."
"However, this money can only be converted into labor points, and you can't be given money directly." Fan Dajun said helplessly.
After all, now there is no way to sell these things freely, even if these things are done by Xu Ye alone.
Everything is collective and can only be solved by collective treatment.
However, these labor points will become money, but they are labor points for the time being. "Of course, this should be like this, I have no objection." Xu Ye said with a smile.
Fan Dajun nodded. He still knew Xu Ye, so he did not continue to worry about this issue. "Our village wants at least five units. Of course, it is great to build ten or eight units." Xu Ye nodded and felt much more at ease. He knew that Fan Dajun had a high prestige in the village and spoke with weight. Since he had spoken, the matter was decided.
"Okay, Uncle Fan, I will make a few more units in the past two days, so that every production team can use it." Xu Ye said.
After hearing this, Fan Dajun's eyes lit up and he asked, "How much material do you need? Can our village get all of it?"
If my own brigade is enough, he can indeed sell some to other brigades.
In this way, you can get some money to account and do something else.
Xu Ye thought about it and said, "We have wood in our village. If we have iron blocks, we may need to go to the commune to think of a solution. However, I already have some iron block reserves, which is enough for the time being."
Fan Dajun patted his chest and said proudly: "I'll go to the commune to see if I can apply for some iron blocks. If it really doesn't work, we will use old farm tools to rebuild it."
Xu Ye nodded gratefully: "With enough materials, we can make more threshing machines and try to let everyone use it before the harvest season."
After chatting, Xu Ye turned to ask the villagers who had used threshing machines. "How do you think this threshing machine is like? Is there anything that needs improvement?" "Captain Xu, this machine is so easy to use. Where does it need improvement? It's already great."
"Captain Xu, will the gears of this machine wear easily? What if they break after being used for a long time?" An old farmer asked with some concern.
Xu Ye smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. You can replace it with a new one if the gear breaks. Moreover, I will make more spare parts, and everyone can replace it at any time."
After hearing this, everyone nodded and immediately had no other doubts.
After all, Xu Ye can produce it, so repair is naturally no problem. "Okay, Xu Ye, you haven't had dinner yet, hurry up and go back for dinner."
"Tonight, Lao Yang and I will go to your house to talk about selling threshing machines to other brigades." Fan Dajun said with his hands in his face with anticipation. "Okay, then we'll go back first." As he said that, Xu Ye took Jiang Ruoan back.
After supper, after Xu Ye trained the hunting dogs and goshawks for a while, Fan Dajun and Yang Zongming came.
The three people discussed the price and decided to sell one for 26 yuan. "The price is set, so you can start promoting each brigade tomorrow to see how many units each brigade needs."
"If you want to make a reservation, you need to give a deposit of 5 yuan per unit." Xu Ye said his thoughts in a nutshell. "Xu Ye, do you think they are really willing to give a deposit?" Yang Zongming was a little worried.
Yang Zongming felt that it was a bit unsafe when he only had a threshing machine and he had to collect the other party's deposit.
Xu Ye smiled and said firmly, "Uncle Yang, everyone has seen the effect of our threshing machine, which saves time and effort and doubles efficiency. If other villages know, they will definitely rush to ask for it. Besides, we collect deposits to ensure that they are sincere and avoid us producing them. They regret not wanting it."
Fan Dajun nodded and said in agreement: "Xu Ye is right, our threshing machine is a good thing, and we are not afraid that no one will want it."
"Besides, the deposit for five yuan is not much. If they really want to buy it, they will definitely not care about the money."
Yang Zongming also felt it made sense and stopped saying anything.
Xu Ye continued, "Tomorrow you can start promotion from several nearby brigades and bring a threshing machine to demonstrate."
"As long as they see the effect with their own eyes, they will definitely be interested."
Fan Dajun slapped the table and said with a smile, "Okay, that's it! I'll take a few clever ones to Shangxi Village early tomorrow morning, and they will definitely want it."
"With Shangxi Village setting a precedent, other brigades will definitely pay for it."
"With this money, we can buy raw materials."
Xu Ye likes Fan Dajun's action ability. With him, he can be responsible for production with peace of mind.
They went to sell these and left them to Fan Dajun.
This threshing machine is an opportunity to exercise, and there will be other products in the future.
As long as it is done, Sanxi Village will definitely get better and better.
At that time, my own benefits will not be less.
In the future, Xu Ye still wants to establish his own large group.
Sanxi Village is its own foundation and must be laid firmly.
He wants to let everyone know that following Xu Ye can live a good life.
