Chapter 135: The Li Family Zhuangzi Robs the Craftsman (Third Shift)
"Hayo!" "Hayo!" "Ha~ya~" "Roar~ah! "Open~~!" "Ah~~"
On the ice, there is a leader who chisels ice, and the others stand in a row, one holding a hammer and one wheeling a hammer.
The leader carefully observed the large block of ice, adjusting the rhythm, and the others dropped the hammer at his pace.
When the last sound of 'open' is heard, the person with the hammer immediately retreats, and the person holding the hammer presses the skewer diagonally backwards at the same time.
With a 'click' sound, a large sheet of ice separates from the rest of the ice.
The people standing further behind watched nervously, they were in charge of pulling the rope, and someone fell and had to quickly pull it up.
It's just that the ice surface is slippery, and the friction between the shoes and the ice is small, and they slip out and slip out when they move.
The ice that had been chiseled apart by the joint efforts of the people was pulled by a rope and moved along the ice surface with a hand gourd to the shore.
"The proprietor." Peach looked at the person standing unsteadily on the ice, and suddenly thought of a good solution, at least she thought it was good.
"Proprietor, dig shallow pits in the ice first, and don't you slip when you stand on them?" She said it excitedly.
"Good way." Li Yi praised first.
When Taohong laughed out of her dimples, the two words behind Li Yi were thrown out: "But ......"
"But the ice surface is very flat, if the pit is small, if you step on it, the area that touches the ice is smaller, and the pit is big, and you will directly break your feet.
And the ice can't avoid splashing on the ice, unless it's throwing sand on it...... Walking, going into the shed, I draw two things. β
Li Yi said, suddenly thought of something, and turned around with peach.
Entering the shed, Pink opens the first aid kit, and there is a separate compartment next to it, which contains paper and charcoal pens, compasses, rectangular rulers, rulers and other gadgets.
Li Yi drew a diagram of an insole on it, then drew several triangles around the insole, and then drew a three-dimensional diagram.
The triangle on the insole is folded down, the insole is changed to an oval, the top is perforated, and a rope is worn in the hole.
After drawing this, Li Yi looked left and right.
Taohong picked up two pieces of paper and handed them to the people in Zhangjia Village, who were in charge of scooping the soup: "Find someone to send the things drawn by the proprietor to the workshop, and tell them to make a few quickly." β
The old woman who scooped the soup didn't say a word, took it out, shouted a voice, and some villagers ran over, received the paper and ran away.
When the blacksmith of the workshop saw the drawings, he called a few people, discussed a few words, found the thin iron plates that had been prepared before, and began to work on them.
Put it in the furnace to heat, cut out the shape, and chisel the holes.
Then use pliers to adjust the angle, two or three hammers down, and a triangle will be folded down.
There are a total of six small triangles, and they are thrown into the water after being smashed and quenched.
After a while it was cold, a dozen things were taken to the river.
Li Yi put down the pen and said to the people in Zhangjia Village: "Bring it over, connect the rope, step on the flat top of the shoes, point down, and tie the shoes with a rope." β
Soon someone was trying, and then there were cheers.
"It's easy to use~~"
"Not slippery at all."
"I'm not afraid to slip away anymore."
"Which one did it? Good skills. β
Li Yi continued to bow his head and draw, this is more difficult.
He drew an ice drill, which he used to fish in his day, and a meter of ice could drill a hole in less than a minute.
Comes with a battery, dexterous and convenient.
The whole is spiral, and the head is pointed.
There is no electric drive at the moment, but it can be done by using gears and shafts to connect manpower.
Put it on a wooden shelf and fix it, and turn it like a threshing machine.
It takes iron, and it can only be cast, and it is not very difficult to get the blacksmith to smash it out.
"Cast iron is not strong enough, but it is harder than ice and can be drilled." Li Yi is very satisfied with his design.
If you are fishing or winter fishing, it is enough to chisel ice with a chisel.
However, now it is necessary to keep taking ice, and the more often it is used, the more valuable it is.
Standing at the door and looking out, Peach kept pursing her lips and smiling, listening to the people working on the ice say that the shoes were good, and she was honored.
"Proprietor, it's easy to use, it's easy to use." People from Zhangjia Village came to report.
"Tell the workshop to do more." Li Yi spoke up.
"But there are so many iron ......," the villager hesitated.
"It's not like it's used up and thrown away, iron, it's iron." Li Yi glanced at the villagers.
The villagers ran away.
Li Yi continued to paint, and the speed of spiral three-dimensional drawings was slow.
When he was done, he went straight back.
Give it to the blacksmith: "Make the mold first, then pour the molten iron, pay attention to safety." β
The craftsmen gathered again, looking at the pictures and talking.
"Let's make ice sculptures in Zhuangzi too, and turn them into ice lanterns at night. Otherwise, there are in Chang'an City, and everyone can't go to see them. β
Li Yi thought that with good equipment, would his Zhuangzi be lively?
"Wow, wow, wow!" RosΓ© expressed her support.
"Get a craftsman from outside to come and make an ice sculpture." Li Yi saw that his proposal was fully approved and decided.
"We have craftsmen in Zhuangzi, look for them outside, and the craftsmen of Zhuangzi ......" Taohong disagreed this time, representing half of the participants.
"The craftsmen on the Zhuangzi can have a play, and the main energy should be focused on other work, and by the way, they can learn to read and draw drawings."
Li Yi took out his own decision and insisted.
"Okay." Pink lowered her head and muttered on her toes.
On the third day of the lunar month, the news in Chang'an City about the high-priced recruitment of Li Jiazhuangzi on the bank of the Bashui in the east of the city has spread.
Yesterday, a craftsman came over, discussed with Zhuangzi, and when he came back, more people were tempted.
"How can he Li Yi do this? There are obviously not many craftsmen in the city, and he also gives double the price. County Cheng Fan Ai was angry and found Pei Yaoqing to complain.
"How are you doing?" Pei Yaoqing looked at Fan Ai and asked.
"A certain ...... Someone asked him to reason. Fan Ai wanted to say cruel words, but he knew that it was useless.
He didn't know that His Majesty always went to Zhuangzi, but he knew that Li Yi had a good reputation in Chang'an City, especially Pingkangfang.
"Youlan, don't worry, the craftsmen in the city are actually enough, only because the selection is too strict, I feel that there is a shortage."
Pei Yaoqing said to Fan Ai in a slow tone.
Youlan is Fan Ai's word, taken from: "Lisao" in "Hufu Ai Yiying wants to be Xi, saying that Youlan is not admirable." '.
There are people in Fan Ai's family who are officials, and the name and character for him means to tell him not to impose on others because of his likes and dislikes.
At the same time, Pei Yaoqing said the reason for the shortage of craftsmen, craftsmen must be selected first, and a large number of craftsmen who could have carved were brushed down.
If some requirements are relaxed, there will naturally be more craftsmen to work.
"Huanzhi, even if that's the case, why don't you send other craftsmen to Li Yi." Fan Ai felt that he had come up with a good idea.
"The selected craftsman gets twice the salary of the selected craftsman, how can the selected craftsman agree?" Pei Yaoqing asked with a smile.
"So what?" Fan Ai looked like he was going to scratch his ears and cheeks, and paced there in circles.
"The matter ends with Li Yizhuang, and it should be solved by Li Yizhuang, and I will go to his Zhuangzi to have a look." Pei Yaoqing gave a solution.
He didn't know what to do, but he knew who to turn to.
"Go quickly, Huanzhi, you and I will go here." Fan Ai urged.
I remembered something again and smiled.
"I heard that if Li Yi Zhuangzi goes, he doesn't need money to eat, and he will fry on the third floor of heaven and earth." He said.
"No, ordinary people used to eat bowls of noodles at most, and only officials and people who were a little rich could eat at will." Pei Yaoqing told the truth.
"He, Li Yi, is this kind of person?" Van Ai pouted.
"At least he still gives a bowl of noodles to eat, and he won't starve to death. Youlan. Pei Yaoqing deliberately called Fan Ai again.
Does that mean you have forgotten the meaning of your name and words? Who could go to your house and get in? You give you a bowl of noodles when you go in?
