Hearing that the other party said that he could handle the money, Lin Feng did not interfere much, but repeatedly reminded the other party of the precautions: "I'm next door. If you need anything, you can come to me, but you can't run around by yourself, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings."
.”
The female queen smiled brightly and waved her little hands.
"Yeah, yeah, I understand, thank you."
Because Luan Xin is on a business trip with the army, Lin Feng, as the Hucao of Longwu County, currently has to take care of various matters in the official office of the Hucao of Sibao County. No matter how idle this department is, it cannot handle the workload of X2. Lin Feng has to work in the official office during the day.
At night, we have to burn the midnight oil to deal with the official documents delivered from the Hucao Office in Longwu County. These are things that ordinary office officials cannot make decisions about.
She had just sat down and read two books when a sneaky black figure appeared outside the door. He was pacing back and forth outside the door, stepping on his feet and stretching his neck from time to time. Lin Feng said without raising his head, "It's more exposed outside.
What's going on with Bei Nujun?"
The dark figure outside the room scratched his head and said with a bit of embarrassment in his voice: "I'm sorry to bother you, but Ms. Lin, can you please rest?"
Lin Feng said: "Not yet, come in."
After saying that, the door creaked and someone pushed it open from the outside.
When Nujun saw the letters piled high on Lin Feng's desk, she opened her mouth in surprise and pointed at the letters: "These are all what you want to see? Really - so amazing!"
Lin Feng just covered up his book and put it down: "Is something wrong?"
Perhaps it was Lin Feng's aura that was too intimidating, or perhaps the pile of letters frightened her. She sat down beside the table with a little embarrassment, her calloused hands grasping the coarse cloth on her knees, and said in a low voice: "Female
Do you have any cotton here?"
Lin Feng said: "I don't have it here."
The female monarch's mood dropped visibly to the naked eye.
"However, I can have some sent over." Lin Feng raised her hand and made a gesture, and the words on her fingertips surged, turning into an exquisite blue bird. The blue bird stood on her finger and fluttered its wings, along the window edge.
Through the gap, a puff of smoke flew out, "You can just go back to your room and wait. The department official will bring it to you later. If you have any other needs, please let me know."
The female monarch was so shocked by Lin Feng's operation that she forgot to close her mouth. She could stuff a few quail eggs into her open mouth.
Lin Feng smiled and was about to speak to bring the female monarch back to her senses. Unexpectedly, the female monarch was so frightened that she jumped on the spot and said, "Yes, yes, I'm sorry - Mr. Lin, I didn't mean to admit my mistake. It's true."
Lin Langjun is so beautiful."
It's really not her fault that she misidentified the gender due to lameness.
She really didn't expect that there was someone in the world who was prettier than Yun Yuanmou! Yun Yuanmou still had the body of an adult man, and his face had a bit of a masculine edge no matter how good-looking it was, but Lin Langjun was in front of her.
I really can’t tell!
She called him Lady Jun, but he still recognized her without explaining.
Lin Feng: "..."
Inexplicably, she suddenly understood the subtle emotions of her lord being misunderstood. However, Lin Feng did not deliberately explain, but the smile in his eyes was a little more cunning, and he graciously accepted the female queen's apology: "You are the first
Said I was born beautiful."
Who doesn't like to be praised by outsiders?
Because the master and teacher Zhuyu were in front of him, Lin Feng was always a little unsure about his appearance. The female queen hurriedly waved her hands and tried hard to explain: "No, no, no, sir, please don't say that!"
Lin Feng looks more like a girl than he does. If "he" isn't good-looking, wouldn't he be ugly as well?
The female monarch had just calmed down when she suddenly remembered something in her heart. A thin pink blush appeared on her cheeks. She hurriedly got up and returned to her room. Although she was used to being informal, it was still too bold to be alone in the same room with a man and a woman at this time.
Already.
I was afraid that taking a step too late would ruin Lin Feng's reputation.
Looking at the female monarch's back as if she was running away, Lin Feng couldn't help but chuckle. She recovered her mind and continued to fight at night.
After a while, there was a knock on the door next door.
The night officer who received the message from Blue Bird brought a wooden box.
Said: "This is the cotton that the queen wants."
The female monarch hurriedly thanked her and took the wooden box. She asked the official in a low voice: "Excuse me... is there a bathing place in the backyard of the official office?"
Department official: "No, but we can bring hot water."
"Then - can you help me find some more logs?"
The official smiled and said, "Of course you can."
Linhu Cao warned that he should try his best to meet the needs of this lady. Although the official didn't know why, she only asked for a bucket of hot water and a few logs, which was easier than the official expected.
As soon as the official left, the lady closed the door and opened the box. There was a box of cotton that had not yet been deseeded. She picked up the plump piece of cotton, which was white and plump and felt quite comfortable when she held it. She murmured.
: "This is cotton? It doesn't look good either...it doesn't look like a flower, but more like a cloud..."
Why not call it "Mianyun"?
The Sibao County Government Office is also interesting. For such a thing, they spent a lot of money and offered a reward of fifty taels! When she thought of this amount, her eyes lit up and her mouth watered. That was fifty taels of silver, not fifty copper coins! That's enough.
It took her a long time!
When she saw the notice before, she thought how difficult it would be, and was mentally prepared to fight Fifty Liang to the death.
The first time she saw cotton, she had an idea.
"Hey, isn't this just free money?"
The lady tossed the ball of cotton up and down, full of confidence.
In less than a minute of tea, several servants came over with hot water, and soon the bathtub was 60% full. Seven or eight logs were also delivered. Each log was as thick as her thigh! It was wooden!
It is hard and delicate, and the whole body is white, with not a single insect hole visible.
The lady took a hot bath comfortably, then put on clean pajamas, and tied her long hair behind her head with two pieces of wood.
She opened the wooden box she was carrying.
It is filled with all kinds of carpentry tools, including chisels, planes, saws, rulers, shovels, long wires, ink fountains of different sizes, and even a very small and exquisite planing table. The weight of this wooden box is estimated to be no less than a hundred pounds!
The female scroll crossed her hands and stretched, her knuckles crackling: "Try to finish it tonight and receive the reward tomorrow!"
Three times and five times divided by two, saw the wood of appropriate length.
Because she was worried that others would steal her job and take away the bounty first, the female queen did not plan to carve it out carefully and make a rough first hand. She pieced together the nearly polished wood into a "door" shape with a mortise and tenon structure.
Then make two logs with exactly the same diameter as the rotating shafts. The two rotating shafts are close to each other and combined with the previous "door" to form the general shape of a "latch".
The two rotating shafts are longer than the wooden frame.
The ends of the two rotating shafts are processed to create a gear-like structure, and a handle is added to the other end of one of the rotating shafts.
After doing this, the lady took out the cotton in the wooden box and adjusted the distance between the two rotating shafts according to the size of the cotton seeds.
Next, just put the cotton without lint between the two rotating shafts, turn the rotating shaft handle, and the two rotating shafts will rotate in opposite directions with the gears. And because the gap between the rotating shafts is very small, the entangled cotton will automatically separate
Cotton wool and cotton seeds.
Ms. Jun debugs it while using it.
After a while, the ground was covered with cotton seeds.
She put cotton wool and cotton seeds in two boxes.
It was already late at night, so the lady could not knock on the door next door, so she stretched out and climbed onto the bed, rolled up the quilt on her body, and within a few breaths, she heard her snoring soundly. She fell asleep.
The sun shines into the house along the window sill.
The female queen woke up to the sound of swords and swords. She lifted the quilt and carefully opened the window.
Mr. Lin was dancing his sword in the court.
She looked at it for a while before putting down the window.
When the queen came out dressed, Lin Feng just put her sword away.
"But the noise is too loud to disturb Bei Nujun?"
The female monarch shook her head: "No, no."
Lin Feng took her to the government canteen for a morning meal. The food lined up in rows made her eyes wide open. Lin Feng said: "Just tell the cook if you want to eat. Everything is free here.
Don’t hold yourself back, be open.”
The lady asked for some of each item.
result--
Looking at the food on Lin Feng's plate, she muttered: "The appetite of a literary scholar is no less than that of a courageous warrior..."
What Lin Feng ate alone was enough for her to eat for a whole day.
But soon she no longer had the energy to pay attention to this.
Because the food in the canteen of Hucao Government Office was so delicious! Compared with what I ate before, it was not human food at all. The queen only focused on cooking.
For a long time, she burped several times in succession.
"Hiccup-hiccup-hiccup-"
With a gentle smile on his lips, Lin Feng stood up and brought her a bowl of hot soup, saying warmly: "Drink some burp."
"Lin Langjun is such a good man!"
She took it movedly and drank it in one gulp.
After finishing the morning meal, it was time for Lin Feng to go on duty. The female queen waved her hand and said: "You are busy, you are busy, I also have something to do."
She hurried to the backyard and held the small cotton remover in her arms, then ran non-stop to the door of the government office. When she saw that the reward notice on the notice board was still there, she breathed a sigh of relief and raised her hand to take it off.
Seeing someone taking down the notice, the department official hurriedly stepped forward and asked respectfully: "Is the lady going to offer farm tools?"
She smiled and said: "Yes!"
The official looked at the simple things in her arms and felt suspicious in his heart, but he did not show it. Instead, he led her to see the boss of Hucao - Hucao Linfeng. This was the first time for the female queen to see a high-ranking official of this level.
Son, I feel a little uneasy.
When she saw the person, she was dumbfounded.
Exclaimed: "Lin Langjun? Are you Hu Caobo?"
Lin Feng smiled softly: "Well, it's me. I just heard from the official that you took off the notice at the door of the official office. I was still curious about which capable person and stranger could solve the urgent need. I never thought it was Bei Nujun. Nujun Huai
The thing in the middle is what you want to hand over?"
Because they were acquaintances, Bei Nujun's nervousness disappeared.
She said confidently: "Yes, this is it."
At the same time, reveal the separated cotton wool and cotton seeds.
"Can I trouble you, Madam, to demonstrate it with your own hands?"
"Okay, that's easy!"
Lin Feng raised his hand, and the department official went down to move a box of cotton with great discernment. Because this cotton stripping machine was very exquisite and compact, during the demonstration, Lin Feng and she could only sit on the ground. She was stunned for a moment.
Looking at it for a moment, the cotton wool and cotton seeds were separated very easily under the rotation of the doweling machine's shaft. The more Lin Feng looked at it, the brighter his eyes became, and he was so excited that he clapped his hands in praise.
"The lady is wise and thoughtful, this thing is truly a divine weapon!"
Lin Feng's praise made the female queen a little shy, and she said humbly: "I can't do it, I can't do it, this thing is too simple."
It was so simple that she could make it even when she was three or four years old.
She was somewhat embarrassed to exchange such a simple thing for fifty taels of silver, and she always felt that she deserved it.
Because of this "guilt", she said in a low voice: "Because of the tight time, the things were made crudely. If Lin Hucao is willing to wait and give me another day, I can improve it a little more. But - only one,
Is it enough?"
Lin Feng shook his head: "One is naturally not enough."
This simple cotton remover, the more the merrier.
the most important is--
Lin Feng looked at the cotton remover and said, "It's too small."
"Size is not a problem, but if it is made larger, it will be more difficult to rotate the shaft. I have to make changes to make it more effortless." Quantity is not a problem.
This small toy with a simple structure can be made by any experienced craftsman, and it is very easy to copy.
Even so, Lin Feng still felt like he had found a treasure.
Raise your hand and ask the department official to bring you the reward money.
Nujun used a lot of self-control to prevent herself from getting into Qian's eyes and making a joke. Lin Feng seemed not to notice her little expression and asked enthusiastically: "Last night, I heard Nujun said that he came to Xiaocheng to look for the casting master.
,Do you know where this person lives?"
"Um... I'm not sure. I only know that the person's surname is 'Bai'." Xiaocheng is so big, it's not easy to find someone.
What Nujun is most worried about is that the other party is not in Xiaocheng.
If so, wouldn't my trip be in vain?
Lin Feng's expression was distorted for a moment, as if he didn't expect such a coincidence, but it also played into her hands: "As far as I know, the surname 'Bai' is rare. But I happen to know a person named Bai.
His surname is Bai Su, his given name is Shaoxuan, and he happens to know how to forge. He is probably the person you are looking for."
The lady's eyes lit up: "Where is the master?"
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Unfortunately, I went out to fight."
Female Jun: "???"
This answer was beyond her imagination.
"Master, master went out to fight? When will he come back?"
In other words, can you still come back alive?
"I don't know the specific time..." Lin Feng estimated the intelligence on the front line in his mind and said with a smile, "But it should be soon."
The female gentleman patted her chest and said happily: "That's good."
She didn't want to make the trip in vain.
"If you don't have a place to stay, you might as well stay in the official residence. When Shaoxuan returns home, I can introduce you to you as soon as possible." Lin Feng took advantage of the situation and invited her.
The latter agreed without much thought.
The food in the government canteen is really appetizing.
"Then - I'm going to bother you!"
Thinking that he would be able to eat it for a while, his mood became brighter, and his favorability towards Lin Feng increased even more.
Lin Feng continued to make insinuations: "The lady solved the problem that had troubled us for many days in just one night. She is really awesome and admirable. I wonder if it is a secret skill passed down from family or a famous teacher? If it is convenient, I really want to come and ask for advice.
"
Seeing that Lin Feng was serious about his work, the lady felt puzzled.
Are the gadgets you made by yourself really so good?
He said: "It can be regarded as the inheritance of the sect, but my teacher has passed away for many years, and I am the only successor in the sect."
