Chapter 453 Semi-automatic crank peeling machine (with pictures)

In order to save steel as much as possible and be more convenient,

Shen Youyou revised the picture many times and drew several semi-automatic crank-type peeling machines, but finally decided on this one that saves the most time and materials. The technology has been patented. Technology developers: Bao Xiaojiang; Yu Chao; Zhao Jiandong; Hou Lixia; Zhu Lin; Wang Binglong Owner: Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University The working principle is actually very simple:

Place the persimmons on the fork and align the edge of the fruit planer with the end of the persimmon.

Then adjust the position of the limit rod according to the size of the persimmon.

Then turn the handle, the fork gear will turn, driving the lead screw gear to turn together, and the lead screw will also turn along with it.

The screw nut will move horizontally, the frame will also move horizontally, and the fruit planer will move with it.

The fork gear drives the fork to rotate, and the persimmon also rotates in circles.

The fruit planer is tightly attached to the surface of the persimmon with the help of the spring.

The fruit planer automatically adjusts the cutting force under the action of the tool spring, and completes the peeling work easily.

As long as this semi-automatic peeling machine is available, someone just fixes the persimmons on it and turns the handle, and the persimmons will be peeled by themselves.

However, it is impossible for everyone to have a peeling machine, so after they go to pick persimmons, let Uncle Tietou make one to try.

Most people still use the simplest plastic peeler to peel the fruits manually.

However, plastic paring knives are simple. The handle and other parts can be directly cast from plastic. They don’t need to be very beautiful. The only thing is that the steel cast blade needs to be more delicate.

Early the next morning, many young boys and girls from the village gathered at the gate of Jiuzu. They were notified by Tang Lizheng to follow Jiuzu to the mountain to pick persimmons.

Shen Youyou saw some young boys and girls holding tools for picking persimmons, and she knew at a glance that they had picked a lot of persimmons from the persimmon forest at the east end of the village in previous years.

The tool is also very simple, just a bamboo pole with a bamboo ring on the top and a small cloth bag sewn on the bamboo ring.

There is even a small semi-arc sickle on the top of the bamboo ring. Just hook the handle of the persimmon and pull it down, and the persimmon will fall into the sealed small cloth bag below.

Sure enough, there is no shortage of people’s wisdom everywhere.

After breakfast and taking their buckets, they set off.

Shen Youyou did not plan to make persimmon cakes with the persimmons she picked yesterday, but instead piled them on the kang in her brother's room.

Those persimmons can be eaten directly after they are softened, or they can be used to make persimmon wine.

I had promised to make wine for my grandfathers before, but I had never been willing to use grain to make it. Now that I have found so many persimmons, it is just right to make persimmon wine.

The taste of persimmon wine is similar to that of rice wine, with a strong fruity aroma and a mellow, sweet flavor.

It is said that persimmon wine has the effects of quenching thirst, satisfying hunger, aiding digestion, promoting urination, expelling internal heat, and treating sore throat.

I believe that both men and women will like this kind of wine, and the most important thing is that the fruit is free.

Along the way, many people asked Shen Youyou: "How do you make dried persimmon cakes? Is it the same as making pumpkin cakes?"

Most of the people asking questions were girls. Even though Shen Youyou was still wearing men's clothes, the children were still too embarrassed to ask her questions.

Ever since they came to Tangjia Village, Shen Youyou's name has become well-known in the village. Her grandparents often mention how smart and capable she is at home.

But in the impression of most boys and girls, she is just a good-looking girl who is dressed like a boy.

Somehow, girls prefer to interact with girls like this, probably because men in ancient times liked gentle and lovely girls.

But Shen Youyou doesn’t care about these things. She is very happy to be surrounded by young ladies, okay?

"That's not the case. You've made dried sweet potatoes or wild fruits before, right? They're similar to those, just like candied fruits. But persimmons are sweet by themselves, so there's no need to add sugar or honey. Just dehydrate them."

Everyone can understand this, but they are too familiar with persimmons. They can't eat them if they are not soft, and they can't eat them if they are astringent.

Someone else asked, "Does it have to be softened before drying? It's hard and not fully cooked now, so it tastes terrible."

"No, persimmon cakes can only be dried when they are hard, because they cannot be dried when they are soft. And even if they are hard persimmons, the persimmon cakes made from them will only taste sweet and not astringent."

Some boys also had questions, but were too embarrassed to ask Shen Youyou, so they asked other boys from the Nine Clans.

"You guys are really taking advantage of me."

All the young men in the nine clans knew about this, and my sister had also explained that in order to buy persimmons at such a high price, they needed to make them into persimmon cakes, but they couldn't do it themselves.

"Yes, but we will only buy persimmons for two cents if you learn from my sister and make persimmon cakes."

San Zhuang also added: "We also need to ensure the quality. If you pick the persimmons yourself and don't take it seriously when learning to make persimmon cakes, we won't accept them if they are not good."

Sometimes when you walk and talk at the same time, you will feel that the distance is shortened. Today, it felt like they arrived there in just a short while.

Seeing this persimmon forest, most of the girls in Tangjia Village had never seen it before, and they exclaimed in amazement.

Some were too reserved to yell and just covered their mouths with their hands, but everyone could see that they were stunned by so many persimmon trees.

The boys had followed the adults in the village up the mountain and seen it before, so their reactions were relatively normal, but they still had smiles on their faces.

After all, in this era, sweets are very expensive, and for ordinary farmers, the most sweet thing they can eat is wild fruits.

If there weren't persimmons to the east of Tangjia Village, and if the old people in the village always said that there were blind bears on Persimmon Hill, they would probably have sneaked here to pick them even though they were in the mountains.

Shen Youyou took off the loudspeaker hanging from her waist and shouted to everyone:

"Okay, everyone pick persimmons. But those who climb trees should be careful not to fall. Those who have tools for picking persimmons should try to pick persimmons from high places. Let's work together and not miss any persimmons."

"okay!"

"We must not let it go, pick it quickly!"

“…”

Shen Youyou also found a persimmon tree, climbed up, and started picking persimmons.

There was also a familiar-looking girl from Tangjia Village who asked Shen Youyou, "Do you want some persimmons that don't look very nice?"

"Yes, if they are not round, you can soften them and eat them yourself. You can also make some persimmon cakes. Soft persimmons can also be used to make persimmon wine. I can teach you when the time comes."

After hearing this, everyone really did it. After picking the persimmons from the tree, they went through it like a swarm of locusts, leaving not a single persimmon behind, even those of poor quality.

After all, if a good dried persimmon costs two cents, most people would choose to exchange it for money rather than eat it themselves.

But if the quality is not good and cannot be sold, your family will have to eat it.

And there is persimmon wine. Just thinking about the taste of persimmons, persimmon wine should also be fragrant and sweet.

As everyone thought so, their hands moved faster to pick persimmons.
