Real cow!
A 58-year-old villager in Datang Street invented the "artifact" of the mochi machine!
1 person can make 100 pounds of mochi in 5 hours!
What does a mochi "artifact" look like?
This villager's name is Huo Xinxian, and recently the reporter came to his home and saw this mochi "artifact".
The mochi machine is divided into three parts: kneading machine, stone mortar, and pounding machine, which are lined up in a row, and the two machines are fixed and supported by brackets.
Among them, the pounder has a long mechanical arm, and the mallet and power output system are connected to the front and back.
The front end of the mallet of the kneading machine is cut in half and is conical. This design increases the contact surface, makes it easier to push and twist glutinous rice, and increases stickiness.
Huo Xinxian's most proud design is the mallet, "I added a spring above the mallet, so that when the glutinous rice is hit, it will produce cushioning and rebound, which will not make the glutinous rice stick to the stone mortar and reduce the damage to the machine." He said that in order to freely adjust the speed of playing mochi, he also installed a transmission.
Huo Xinxian picked up the clean bamboo piece and flipped it back and forth, observing the pounding, adding warm water from time to time.
"I grew up eating mochi, especially every year around the winter solstice, I would get up at 5 o'clock and play mochi with my relatives in the town. But as I get older, I often feel overwhelmed. Huo Xinxian told reporters that 5 years ago, he began to consider whether he could replace labor with machines to reduce physical work.
6x faster
1 person can make 100 pounds of mochi in 5 hours
At the beginning of November this year, Huo Xinxian finally made an electric mochi machine, which originally required 3 people to spend 1 day to complete 100 pounds of mochi, and now it only takes 1 person to spend 5 hours with the machine to get it, the speed is increased by 6 times, and the mochi made by the machine is more powerful than the manual.
However, the production of this machine to improve, Huo Xinxian spent 15,000 yuan before and after. Next, he will increase the production and speed of the mochi machine.
The winter solstice is coming,
Is your mochi arranged?
