It is also a crushing tool for crops. What is the difference between a mill and a stone mill? It is also a crushing tool for crops. There are many differences between grinding and stone grinding. Speaking of the changes in country mills and mills, I am a witness! In my hometown, the biggest influence on farmers' lives can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the older generation of children, and how many families are inseparable from these two treasures. In the past, this was a "Stone Age". Si Tong is too close to us. In addition to rolling, there are rolling water tanks for drinking horses, stone benches for rest and even houses, walls and roads. Almost all poor people are related to stones.

I also had a crazy imagination about this: "Historians have come to the conclusion that the origin of human civilization may be wrong? It didn't start with a stone, did it? " After several changes in size, stone tools such as rollers and grinders have disappeared from people's sight. It seems that I can still smell the lingering fragrance of that year today. Just like an old man who faltered, he spent a period of time side by side with us, deeply moved, and parted ways with us step by step ... Because his hometown was remote, the state grid entered late, which aggravated the backwardness.

In the days when there is no other force to replace manpower and animal power, let alone modernization, let alone modernization at all. The means of production are traditional and primitive, and now some of the most common but trivial things may become great trouble. People always have to eat, and the processing of rice noodles is not just a simple job like today. The only equipment is grinding, which is slow and stupid, and can process 100 Jin of grain at most every day, commonly known as "two buckets". Although the particles entering the surface are not complicated, if you don't have a strong psychological spirit, the endless "grinding" and the endless "sieve" can also collapse!

There are many steps to make rice, such as milling, screening, windmill, air separation and so on. The process of "grinding" is definitely a technical activity, especially sorghum rice, which is the most difficult to grind. Most people can't do it. Only a few children in the village can get it right. My father is one of them. Many families have asked him. Mills and mills themselves have no power. When it is customary to rely on animals to pull the mill, the traditional donkey is a horse-drawn roller. The reason why Mara can't move the mill is because the diameter of the mill is very small and the circle of livestock is very small. Matthew is too big to pull, so the donkey has to pull him. Pulling a roller by an animal is different from pulling a cart. To use it, you must wear an eye mask. The bowl-shaped eye patch fixed on the animal's eyes is made of the shell of corncob, which is rolled round and round, with a strong sense of lines. This reminds me of the high-powered glasses worn by fortune tellers in movies and TV programs.
