Fortunately, Ling Bao didn't say this out loud, otherwise Cheng Jin would have blushed with embarrassment.
There was nothing to think about for three days in a row, but the three of them were very worried.
Cheng Zhongqian had a rest the next day. He deliberately took a few extra days off this time. As the head of the family, he couldn't leave everything to his children.
This year there were oxen, and they plowed the land very quickly.
I also thought about the dozens of acres of land that were originally planted with turmeric, but later there were floods and they were ignored. However, this year it can be renovated, and a lot of fertilizers have been made to restore the soil fertility.
Cheng Jin looked at the columbiner behind the scalper in ecstasy. Suddenly an idea flashed and he took out the drawings he carried with him from his pocket.
"Ling Bao, you're okay, come and take a look!"
Ling Bao and Xie Wuhuang immediately came over, their three furry heads forming a circle.
"Look here, we can add a small mechanism here... so that it only takes a little more effort than before!"
He spoke in great detail, and the more Ling Bao and Xie Wushu listened, the more they felt it was feasible.
The three of them immediately ran home. Ling Bao and Xie Wuchang were grinding their ink and picking up their pens. Cheng Jin drew the "new columbine" in his mind in just a few clicks. After the ink dried, he handed it over to the Xie family's guards.
, and asked him to quickly find someone to make it.
Lingbao thought for a moment and said, "The carpenter uncle from the neighboring village seems to be also involved in making farm tools."
Of course, it must be registered with the government. After all, some farm tools are not all made of iron. For example, most of the agricultural tools are made of wood, and only the legs of the columbine are made of iron.
The Cheng family's carts and new furniture were all made by the carpenter uncle. When I went to his house before, I happened to hear someone asking the carpenter uncle if he could make farm tools, so Ling Bao heard it.
Xie Wuyan looked at the guard: "Why are you still standing there? Go quickly."
The guard responded and strode out.
Xie Wuyang raised his voice and added: "Add some money and let him finish it faster."
"yes."
The guard went to the neighboring village without stopping. The neighboring village has a very cute name, Duoduo Village, which means there is a lot of food and a lot of good things.
The carpenter's surname was Lu, with a Chinese character for his face, a beard around his mouth, and a short stature. Standing in front of the tall and powerful Xie family guards, he felt quite stressed.
"Who are you? What's the matter?" Lu Carpenter asked nagging.
The Xie family guard asked, "Can you make farm tools?"
Carpenter Lu nodded and said, "Yes, you want to make farm tools?"
The Xie family guard nodded, took out the blueprint drawn by Cheng Jin from his pocket, and handed it over: "You can build it according to this, the faster the better."
Carpenter Lu took it and took a look. It looked a bit like a columbine, but it had many more things.
He didn't think there was anything in this world, he just thought it was because he didn't know anything.
Xie family guard: "Is it possible?"
If he couldn't do it, he would look for other craftsmen, but the master was always eager to get it.
Carpenter Lu quickly nodded and said yes, and asked: "How many days is the deadline?"
The Xie family guard said: "Of course, the sooner the better, if you can do it tomorrow, my master is the most generous, and the reward is indispensable for you."
There is also a reward? Carpenter Lu was secretly fussing in his heart.
"May I ask, who is your master?"
"The Crown Prince of Chu."
Is it the prince of Chu who lives in Beihe Village?
Carpenter Lu looked solemn, thought about it, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, since the prince wants it, I have to work all night to make it!"
As a guard who was born in the Chu Prince's Palace, he had heard such flattery many times. The Xie family guard's expression did not change and he nodded calmly.
After the Xie family guards left, Carpenter Lu quickly called back the two sons he had taught himself.
"You two hurry up and help!" Carpenter Lu said cheerfully, "This is what the prince wants. These noble people are very generous. We, the three of us, will try to get it done tomorrow!"
Lu Dalang frowned and looked at the drawing: "What is this? Why haven't I seen it before?"
As soon as I finished speaking, I was stunned by Lu Mu.
Takumi slapped him on the head.
"There are so many things you haven't seen before! Hurry up, Erlang, and your brother and you must work quickly!"
The three of them, the father and son, studied hard and after they understood it, they immediately started to do it.
It was already night when they came to their senses. Carpenter Lu’s wife called them several times to let them go to rest, but the three of them were sitting on top. What are the funnels and sieves used for? What are the functions of this mechanism?
As a craftsman, there is always a bit of research spirit.
Carpenter Lu's wife couldn't move, so she rolled her eyes and went to sleep.
It wasn't until Haishi that Carpenter Lu yawned so sleepily that he couldn't open his eyes, and then he said to go to bed. Because he moved too much when he went to bed, he woke up his wife, and Carpenter Lu was even scolded.
Early the next morning, Carpenter Lu got up and started working again.
Someone came to him to make a wooden basin, but Carpenter Lu said he didn't have time and asked him to come two days late.
The three of them worked tirelessly, and finally they made it!
It’s only the third day now!
Carpenter Lu looked at this big object, as if he saw the reward waving to him, and he was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth.
"Let's go, let's send it there in person!"
After loading the cart, Carpenter Lu sat on it and supported him, while Lu Dalang and Lu Erlang pushed the cart with a groan, all the way to Beihe Village.
Looking at the magnificent second-entry house with blue bricks and large tiles in front of them, it was really considered "magnificent" to them. Carpenter Lu and the other three were filled with envy. When would they be able to live in such a good house?
ah?..
During the day, the door of Xie's house was open. The boy sweeping the floor asked them what they were doing. Carpenter Lu nodded and bowed and said, "I am Carpenter Lu from Duoduo Village. The prince has made a reservation with me...
Uh, I brought the farm tools."
The boy looked back and said, "What a coincidence, Master Shizi and the others are in the fields, so we can try it out."
When he was about to ask someone to send it, Carpenter Lu hurriedly said: "If you don't mind, let us send it there. We also want to see what wonderful uses this thing that the prince has figured out can have."
"Okay." The boy put down the broom and led them to the fields.
After walking for a while, the boy pointed in a certain direction and said, "We're almost there. No, it's right over there."
Carpenter Lu squinted and saw that three adults in the front were plowing the fields and three children in the back were picking up stones.
He really has no airs at all.
"Master Shizi, Miss Lingbao, Third Master Xiaojin, and Carpenter Lu are here to deliver the columbine."
Hearing this, the three of them raised their heads.
"It's ready so quickly?" Ling Bao was surprised, threw the stone aside and ran over.
Carpenter Lu was smart and quickly asked his two sons to move the columbiner down.
The three children looked around and looked at Carpenter Lu, who was really a little worried. There should be nothing wrong with it, right?
"How's it going?" Ling Bao and Xie Wuhuang asked Cheng Jin's opinion.
Cheng Jin's eyes were bright and he smiled and said, "It's exactly what I thought!"
Lingbao clapped happily: "That's great!" She praised, "Uncle Carpenter, you are so awesome!"
Cheng Jin nodded in agreement. He thought he would fail, but he didn't expect that Carpenter Lu really had two brushes.
