Chapter 263: Washing Machine

Originally, Li Yuqing planned to stay, wait for them to divide the tree into sections, and see if they could help them transport it down together, but after Liu Changyu found out, he dragged her away alive, so in the end, only Master Zhao was left, sitting there alone, waiting for his apprentices.

Because each person was cutting down a tree, I didn't think about dividing the cut tree into sections, so I only brought an axe for cutting the tree and not a chainsaw for cutting the tree. Therefore, the division took a relatively long time, so that when it was almost time to eat in the evening, Master Zhao led his apprentices in pairs, sweating profusely and carrying a piece of wood back from the mountain.

You used to be more prescient, because you thought that they had been busy for a day, they must be very dirty, and they must wash up briefly when they come back, so they warmed hot water in the cauldron in advance, and now when they came back, Li Yuqing hurriedly carried a bucket into the kitchen and scooped water out for them to scrub briefly.

Seeing Li Yuqing preparing hot water for them so intimately, everyone was full of gratitude, and even with the tired body of the day, they suddenly felt a lot lighter at this moment.

Because she didn't eat well at noon, Li Yuqing deliberately made a few more dishes in the evening and added food to them. Master Zhao and the others usually eat well, so it is the same for them with or without meals, but today may be too tired, plus they didn't eat well at noon, so the first time they ate at Li Yuqing's house, there was a phenomenon of clearing the dishes.

So they didn't react until they had eaten well, looking at the bare plates on the table, they all lowered their heads in embarrassment, but Li Yuqing was extremely happy, because in her opinion, clearing the dishes was an affirmation of her cooking skills.

Now it is winter, people who generally don't have a habit of cleanliness can't wash every day, but Master Zhao and they were busy outside for a day today, and their bodies were a little dirty, so they used the warm water that Li Yuqing helped them warm to wash a little, and they changed into clean clothes. After eating, Li Yuqing thought that they would go to the mountains tomorrow to continue their work, so let them go back to rest first.

When Master Zhao and the others heard Li Yuqing say this, they saw that they really didn't have anything to do, and they were indeed a little tired today, so they didn't say anything and got up to say goodbye and went back to the house.

The next morning, after breakfast, they went to the mountains again, and continued to transport the wood that had not been transported yesterday to their families. In this way, two days passed before they transported all the trees cut down on the mountain back, and at this time, behind Li Yuqing's house, the production factory that was built separately was finally completed.

Master Zhao and the others sorted out all the household goods they had brought before, took them to the production factory, and began to make washing machine models.

The first thing to do is to make wood into barrels, but this barrel is not the other barrel. The inside of the ordinary wooden barrel is smooth, but the washing machine barrel is made of each wooden board opposite to each other, so that when the clothes are thrown in it and rolled, it can play a role of friction to clean the dust on the clothes.

In order to make the wood more compact, the polished wood should be roasted on the fire to evaporate the moisture inside, so as to ensure that the density of the wood is large enough, so that it is not easy to crack and moth in the future.

In fact, the principle of making a washing machine is similar to that of making a blender, except that one is stirred inside and the other is stirred outside. After making the washing machine barrel in the middle, Li Yuqing asked Master Zhao and others to try several different methods, and finally decided to use the principle of a bicycle to make a lying foot rolling washing machine.

After making a washing machine for washing clothes, Li Yuqing thought of a dehydrated washing machine again.

In winter, the weather is relatively cold, the sun is not so sufficient, if there is no dehydrator, it will take two or three days to dry the washed clothes, if it rains on a cloudy day, it will be longer, if the time is longer, it is possible to wash the clothes, and wash them again.

So I didn't give Master Zhao and the others time to rest, and immediately joined the manufacture of the dehydrator. The dehydrated laundry mechanism is more troublesome, because the water has to be thrown out, so it has to be made in two layers, and the outer layer is relatively simple to keep the water back, but the inner tank should be made into a hole-like leakage.

It was very painful to make the wood into a hole, so I finally decided to make an iron-beaten inner liner, so that the inside feels relatively light and thin, and the outer insulation made of wood to keep out the water does not need to be too large. When the time comes, when the clothes are dehydrated, as long as the inner tank rotates, the outer one can not be rotated, as long as a small hole is left under the outer barrel to facilitate the flow of water thrown out.

I don't know how many times I tried back and forth, although the production was a little rough and simple, but how to say it, finally the first washing machine in ancient times was made in this way, two days before the washing machine was made, Li Yuqing specially asked Liu Changyu to go to the town and helped her bring back a lot of soap and horn liquid, so that the villagers could better wash their clothes.

Finally, on the day of the trial, the people in the village were very curious, and they also gave Li Yuqing face, and every household brought out a lot of clothes to be cleaned, and the elderly and children came to watch in groups.

Li Yuqing personally demonstrated and witnessed this historic moment, in order to verify whether the washing machine he made was practical, Li Yuqing specially found a relatively dirty clothes in advance and washed them together with other clothes.

When the clothes were poured into the washing machine, Li Yuqing added some soaphorn liquid brought by Liu Changyu to it, and then carried a wooden bucket to fill it with water.

After a period of turning, Li Yuqing felt that the washing was almost done, and then stopped the action to pull out the wooden cork on the barrel and let go of the water inside.

After the water is drained, he takes out the clothes, takes them to the dehydrator and pours them inside, and at the same time asks Liu Changyu to refill the washing machine with water. Dried like this, after cleaning and drying, repeated two or three times, after the last spin drying, Li Yuqing took out the clothes and told everyone that the clothes were washed.

To be honest, Li Yuqing didn't have a bottom in her heart, because the power of the self-made washing machine was not as great as the power of the electromechanical, and she was not sure if she could wash the clothes, looking at a pair of expectant eyes, Li Qing took a deep breath, closed her eyes nervously, and shook off a room of clothes that had been prepared first.
