Chapter 436 They don’t understand leverage, just like You Ran doesn’t understand superpowers
Since you want to make noodle dumpling soup, you have to take action. It’s still early and You Ran doesn’t want to stay overnight.
She has been waiting for this pasta for a long time!
He immediately pulled up Wen E, who was washing his upper body with water nearby, and said, "Wen E, let's go find some stones to make something."
After washing thoroughly with soap, Wen'e's body was no longer so itchy, and he quickly followed You Ran out to look for stones.
I saw her picking and choosing among a pile of messy stones, and finally she chose a relatively hard stone.
"That's it, Wen'e. First, cut it into a cylinder and leave a small hole in the middle."
Wen E didn't know what she was going to do, but he still did as she said and directly created an ice cone to cut the irregular stone quickly.
Countless icicles fell down and soon formed a standard cylinder.
This kind of cutting method was the first time Mu Youran had seen it, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "You are so awesome!"
“You don’t even need a bone knife or anything.”
Wen E smiled lightly. They could only use bone knives to do delicate work. As for the rough work of cutting stones, superpowers and claws would of course be more useful.
It's just that he has no claws.
"Then what?"
Mu Youran gestured at the stone. "Smooth this part out for me, then make a diagonal pattern, rotating it in one direction around the hole in the middle."
Then she picked up a small piece of gravel nearby and began to draw the lower half of the millstone on the ground.
"Make this next. Remember, the groove on the edge must have a slope."
Wen E understood the picture, but he was a little curious: "What is this?"
You Ran smiled and said, "It's a stone mill. We'll go back and get some wheat to grind into flour, and then make some dumpling soup. It tastes better than meat!"
When Wen E heard that it was about cooking, he immediately became interested. Now his biggest hobby is cooking for You Ran.
Every time he saw You Ran finish the food he cooked, he felt a sense of pride and accomplishment.
And he also wanted to taste what this thing tasted like.
"Okay, I'll have a big bowl of it later!"
Mu Youran couldn't help swallowing her saliva when she thought of the taste. She had been here for so long and rarely ate starchy food.
She has been craving wheat for a long time.
Just eat it this time and let everyone have a taste!
When it was dark, Wen'e took out the stone mill. Countless ice balls and ice cones were used alternately, making the entire stone mill look particularly smooth and beautiful.
Although it's a bit small.
Mu Youran, carrying the stick, couldn't wait any longer: "Let's go home!"
Wen E followed behind him carrying the millstone, in a very good mood.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Huang Yu coming back from outside, looking at the things in their hands curiously.
"What are you doing?"
Mu Youran went up and took Huang Yu's arm: "We plan to get some wheat to eat tonight and make a tool."
"We can grill less meat tonight!"
When Huang Yu heard that it was used to harvest wheat, he instantly became interested.
He knew that thing, the wheat seeds, were picked bit by bit by him and Youran in the wild.
"Okay, I'll help too."
After returning home, Mu Youran went straight to the drying yard in the backyard and pinched the wheat that was almost dry. It was already very hard.
Then he squatted aside, grabbed the wheat heads and started rubbing them. The wheat was already a little dry when it was harvested, and after being exposed to the sun for an afternoon, it fell off at the slightest touch.
Soon, he collected half a basket of wheat, then took out a wet linen cloth, wiped off the dust on it, and then took it to the millstone.
When Wen E saw her taking the wooden stick next to her and trying to put it on the millstone, he immediately stopped her.
"Let me do it. This millstone is too heavy."
Mu Youran chuckled softly, "You're underestimating me."
As he spoke, he leaned his whole body on the wooden stick, exerted a little force, and the millstone started to turn.
Wen E and Huang Yu's eyes widened in surprise. They knew very well how much strength You Ran had.
This is a stone, and she actually pushed it like this!
Moreover, looking at her appearance, she seemed quite relaxed.
Mu Youran saw that the wheat in the hole was gone and immediately said, "Hey, stop standing there and help add more wheat!"
Wen E immediately walked over and, imitating You Ran's actions just now, put some of the food into the cave using a bamboo tube.
I saw that the originally full wheat actually dropped a little bit as the millstone turned, and finally disappeared, turning into some white powder that came out from the gap between the two stones!
Huang Yu was very curious about how Youran pushed it, so he walked over and said, "Let me try."
After pushing the wheel for a few rounds, You Ran felt a little tired, to be honest. After all, she seldom did any work these days, and she had been running all day today, so her feet felt bigger from running.
Now that Huang Yu wants to try, she might as well give up her position.
"Push slowly, don't listen too fast!"
Huang Yu nodded, walked to the place where You Ran had just stood, and exerted a little force. The heavy stone on the millstone actually started to turn.
He smiled in surprise: "How come this saves so much effort!"
Although he is now a great wizard and does not need to do many tasks personally, she is still very clear about the weight of such a stone.
If you want to move it by hand, this amount of strength will definitely not be enough.
Mu Youran sat on a chair beside her to rest, smiling with pride.
“It’s the principle of leverage.”
"What's the principle?"
Wen'e and Huang Yu were very puzzled when they heard this word, as they had never heard of it before.
Seeing that they looked confused, Mu Youran thought that no matter how she explained, it would not make sense, so she simply gave up.
He shrugged and spread his hands: "This is just like me not understanding your abilities. Even if I explained the principle of leverage to you, you probably wouldn't quite understand it."
"Anyway, the principle of leverage is to use the wooden pole in your hand. As long as you find the fulcrum, you can easily pry heavy objects."
When the two heard You Ran's first words, they felt a little uncomfortable.
But they clearly knew that You Ran was explaining what leverage was when he said the next thing, but they were still confused.
It's exactly like what Youran just said...
Even if I explain it to her, she may not understand, just like she doesn't understand superpowers.
Forget it, since I can’t figure it out, then don’t think about it, so as not to add to my troubles.
Moreover, these male orcs are inherently extremely strong. In many cases, they can move things without the so-called principle of leverage.
