Meet at bayi Reservoir
On April 9th, at the request of friends, they went to Huangsi Town, Xindu District, Xingtai City to participate in a tour.
The spring sun is warm and bright, and the green trees and flowers are blooming on the roadside. In the field, the golden canola flowers sway with the wind, and the lush peach trees are charming and fragrant.
Walking into huo's Shanhe Hall in Shi Village, Huangsi Town, Xindu District, Xingtai City, more than 100 pieces of farming tools on display here have attracted everyone's attention, wooden and iron utensils, livestock utensils, living utensils, etc. are readily available, wooden forks, wooden rakes, wooden hammers, guillotines, rakes, rakes...
Old Huo shows the use of agricultural tools
A seventy-six-year-old man surnamed Huo told everyone about the usefulness of these agricultural tools and the history of the past, reminding everyone of the scenes in the field.
He picked up the wooden shovel and asked, do you know what this is for? The people around him really didn't know much.
"This is what wheat and corn are used for wheat and corn in the autumn, the wheat and corn are threshed and dried, and then, starting to raise the field, shoveling the grain, rising in the wind, blowing away the debris leaves. Now, some farmers are still using it. Huo Laohan said as he demonstrated.
Subsequently, he grabbed a wooden rake and introduced that this was also used for the field, mainly to clean up wheat straw and impurities. Wooden tools are not sharp and are not easy to catch the soil on the ground, while iron is easy to bring up the soil on the ground.
Speaking of livestock supporting tools, splints, sets, coraz, I have not personally experienced livestock, and I really don't know it.
Livestock appliances
Suddenly thought of a joke I made that year, just graduated from high school for a short time, borrowed my uncle's donkey to go to the city to pull coal, mainly because I am not very familiar with the relevant process, I forgot to bring a cola to the donkey, this thing is to protect the skin of the donkey from harm, the outside is cloth, the inside is wrapped with grass, very soft.
Without this, the donkey is on a long journey, pulling hard, and it is easy to be damaged.
The donkey ran very fast, I don't know what happened, the reality is that the wear and tear is severe.
Walking to a village in Beixiaoguo, a kind old man stopped me and pointed out the existing problems, at this time, it has been more than 2 kilometers away from home, can I go back?
I was hesitating, and the old man told me to wait, and then went home and took out a cola for me to use, and said generously, no need to change.
After more than 40 years, I still remember that touching scene.
Huo Yongjun, the founder of Shanhetang, took a flower pliers from the shelf, this tool is used to clip cotton straw, after the cotton is picked, the remaining straw is to be pulled out, you need flower pliers, this thing is very rare.
And when I came to Longshan, which is close to the Bayi Reservoir, in a house at the top of the mountain, there were also some farming tools, and the stone pots used to crush the baoqi after planting wheat were completely preserved, and they also carried long pull belts, which was really eye-opening.

There is also a surprise, this tour, there is actually a Xingtai City color printing factory worker Xiao Liang who has not been seen for nearly 30 years, and the beauty of many years ago is already a middle-aged mother.
She was in charge of the layout workshop in Beijing (machine), typing and typesetting, and I was in charge of proofreading at that time, and I had to deal with them every day. Say goodbye to the traditional lead and fire in the printing industry and start here. Later, the factory introduced laser illumination units.
Time flies so fast! Life has gone through most of its journeys.
