章 138: Chapter 136: Shaking the Heart

Xiao'er stepped on the second pedal of the threshing machine, applying force. The gear drum on the machine started rolling. Xiao'er continued to step forcefully, and the drum inside began to spin rapidly, so fast that one could only see the shadow of the metallic wires twisted into gears.

At that time, Xiao'er sidestepped, picked up a bundle of rice she had piled on both sides of the threshing machine. Holding the roots of the rice tightly, she extended the grain end into the fast-spinning drum. Then, the sound of "click, click," could be heard as the grains began to fall into the front bin.

Xiao'er turned the bundle of rice around, making sure every grain-bearing part touched the rapidly spinning gears so that the grains fell off efficiently. In less than a minute, a bundle of rice grains had been completely threshed.

Xiao'er lifted up straw without a single grain, causing a commotion among the crowd! Everyone was eager to try!
