Chen Xu was writing and drawing with a few pieces of paper in the study, and Shui stood by softly watching.

"Husband, you've been drawing two planks for a long time, what is the purpose of it?"

"It's called a snowboard, and it's actually two smooth planks that a person steps on and fastens his shoes so that he can glide on the snow and run faster than a horse!"

"Two planks under your feet will make you run faster than a horse?" An unbelievable look appeared on the soft and delicate face of the water.

"Here's how it works, but skiing requires a lot of skill, and it's hard to do it without training!" Chen Xu shook his head and sighed.

Growing so big, he has never skied snow, and even if he makes a pair of skis, he probably can only look at it.

However, Shui Qingrou was very attentive, and carefully inquired about the way of skiing, and Chen Xu also gave a brief introduction based on the movements he had seen on TV.

"Husband, there is nothing to do at the moment anyway, there are wood and craftsmen at home, why don't you make one or two pairs and come out to see the effect?" After listening to Shui Qingsoft, her interest increased greatly, and her beautiful eyes flashed with an unusually surprising light.

"Well, that's fine!" Chen Xu nodded, took the drawings and went out to find the craftsmen in the house, and soon several craftsmen found wooden planks and tools and began to chop and chop, and the jingling sound attracted a large group of idle guards and domestic servants to come and watch.

Chen Xu returned to the study and quickly drew a drawing again.

"What did you draw this time?" Looking at the strange figure drawn by Chen Xu, Shui stood next to him and asked.

"This is called a sled car, also known as a climbing plow, which is a kind of vehicle that specializes in traveling or transporting goods in the ice and snow, and people can sit on it and run with livestock and dogs......"

"Wouldn't it be convenient to travel on the road in heavy snow!" The water is gentle and pleasantly surprised.

"That's the way to say, but I still have to make it to see how it works, but this climbing plow is as simple as a ski, I asked the craftsman to make one out first to see, and Xianyang only snows in winter, and the use is not very big, and the sled animals also need to be trained, but once it is really feasible, then the Ministry of Industry can be extended to Liaodong and the Western Regions, which can be regarded as solving the problem of transportation in the cold winter!"

After Chen Xu explained, he came to the shed again with the drawing of the climbing plow, explained it carefully to an old carpenter, and asked him to take a few helpers to make it quickly.

Daqin's craftsmen are very powerful, and now there is steel, and with Chen Xu making all kinds of improved knives, axes, adzes, saws and other common tools in later generations, Daqin's woodworking technology has developed very rapidly in recent years, almost no different from the Tang and Song dynasties, cutting, sawing, grinding, drilling, tenon production is very proficient, and has also been familiar with the production and identification of three-dimensional views marked with Arabic numerals.

Skis are very simple, that is, two long and narrow boards, the front section is slightly upturned, in order to reduce friction, that is, the bottom to be polished relatively flat and smooth, under the watchful eyes of a group of people, the shackle in the shed clanging sawdust splashing, less than half an hour, the first pair of skis was made.

Chen Xu instructed the servants to find two bamboo sticks more than one meter long, and then came to the yard with this pair of skis, stood up and tied them, and then stepped on the skis very clumsily and walked to the snow, adjusted his breathing, and then used the bamboo pole to prop it back, and then under the attention of hundreds of people in the house, the skis moved forward.

"Master Hou is careful~"

"Oops,......"

Under the close attention of hundreds of pairs of eyes, Chen Xu let out a strange scream from his mouth, and the person leaned back, and with a pop, his body fell to the snow in a strange and twisted posture.

"Husband~" Shui Qing's face changed, and he landed beside Chen Xu with a light step, but he was still a step slower.

"Master Hou~" A group of domestic servants and guards rushed up with frightened pale faces, pulling Chen Xu up from the snow with all hands and feet.

"Husband, are you alright?" Shui Qingrou hurriedly helped to slap down the snow on Chen Xu's head, and her face was full of concern.

"Ahem, it's okay, it's too slippery, it's not well controlled, let me do it again!" Chen Xu blushed and waved his hand to disperse the crowd, adjusted his posture again, this time he learned to be a little more obedient, his body half-squatted down, and carefully supported it back with a bamboo pole again, and the skis under his feet slipped forward two meters away.

Chen Xu's body shook and almost fell again, but although he was prepared this time, he didn't control his feet well, and he directly made a big split.

"I rely on your uncle!"

Chen Xu sat on the snow and slowly withdrew his legs, and at the same time couldn't help but rub his crotch and balls a few times, fortunately he was young and often practiced swordsmanship gently with the water, otherwise his thigh muscles would have been strained.

"Husband, let me try it!" Watching Chen Xu operate twice, Shui Qingrou also roughly saw the movement of this snowboard, so after helping Chen Xu up, he covered his mouth and sneered.

"It's okay, you're a little more flexible than I am, but you still have to be careful, this thing is slippery, and pay attention to your legs!" Chen Xu reluctantly untied the skis, and then personally helped the water to tie it gently, and then retreated a few meters away.

Shui Qing's mood was also very nervous and nervous, but after all, he was a martial arts master, after adjusting his body and mood, he gently supported the bamboo pole like Chen Xu, and the skis carried the water gently and slowly slid forward, and Shui's gentle body shook a few times, but he did not fall.

"My aunt is so good, she didn't wrestle!" Yu Ji clapped her hands excitedly and shouted.

Chen Xu's face instantly blackened and dripping ink.

Shui Qing's movements are very slow and steady, and his body is also very soft and not as stiff as Chen Xu, under everyone's attention, Shui Qinggently once again propped up the bamboo pole and slid forward seven or eight zhang away, and basically mastered the skills of skiing, and began to learn to turn.

"Husband, this skis are really fast, I'll slide outside the door to try it......" Shui gently turned his head and cautiously showed a gentle smile to Chen Xu, and then once again concentrated on the bamboo pole, and after a few strokes, his body swayed gently from side to side with the ski, and soon slid to the gate of the yard.

"Wow, sister-in-law is so fast, follow up and have a look!"

Xing'er excitedly pulled her legs and chased after her, Yu Ji also followed behind, a group of domestic servants and guards and Ying Shiyan and others also rushed out, and when a group of people ran out of the yard, the water had slid out along the road for dozens of feet, and it seemed that the movements were becoming more and more smooth and light, swaying gently back and forth on the snow, except for some messy horseshoe prints on the road, there were only two ski imprints, which looked very clear on the snow

"Sister Water's skiing movements are so beautiful!" Meng Wan whispered to Ying Shiyan.

"What an amazing snowboard, I'll try it later!" Ying Shiyan's face was full of excitement and nodded excitedly.

Ten minutes later, the water gently slid back with the bamboo pole, his cheeks were slightly red, and there were fine sweat particles on his forehead, but he could see that his face was full of surprise and excitement.

"Husband, this ski is really very useful, if you slide from the other courtyard to Xianyang City, it will be enough for about half an hour!" Shui was soft, and her black dress fluttered gently with the wind and snow, and her movements stopped in front of Chen Xu very lightly and smoothly.

"Brother Xiaoxu, I want to ski too!" Yu Ji held Chen Xu's sleeve and shook it.

"This ski is too big, I'll ask the craftsman to make two small pairs for you and Sister Xing'er later!" Chen Xu touched Yu Ji's head and said.

"Sister Shui, can you let me try!" Ying Shiyan is eager to try.

"I'll teach you, it's very simple!" Shui gently squatted down to untie the tether, helped Ying Shiyan tie her skis with her own hands, and then instructed her how to control her body and hold the bamboo pole, and a group of maids and Xing'er and others gathered around to watch.

"Oops~" slid forward less than a foot away, Ying Shiyan screamed and was about to fall, but she was gently held by the water, and Ying Shiyan slid forward clumsily and shouted that she didn't dare to slip, so she was replaced by Meng Wan.

Meng Wan, on the other hand, was much better than Ying Shiyan, and after a few minutes, she was able to glide slowly on her own without the gentle support of the water, and after ten minutes, she also began to master basic body control and skiing skills.

It seems that people who can dance learn faster.

Chen Xu nodded again and again, although he skied twice, the water was gentle and Meng Wan could quickly master, which showed that physical flexibility was a key factor.

Both Shui and Meng Wan can dance, but Ying Shiyan can't, and it can be seen that dancers can master the balance of skiing with their body flexibility.

The sleigh soon became a toy for a group of women, sliding back and forth on the road in front of the door, while Chen Xu told the guards and maids to take good care of the wives, and returned to the shed to continue directing a group of craftsmen to build skis and sleds.

An hour later, three skis of different sizes were made, and Apricot Yuji got her toys and went outside the door to play with a group of maids, and the sleigh was almost finished, all assembled, and the final polishing and polishing was underway.

The structure of the sleigh is also not complicated, and it is not large, the front and back are less than two meters long, and two warped logs in the ground act as a skateboard, and a bracket on it, on which only a few pieces of wood are riveted together with tenons, and a wooden board is placed in the middle as a seat.

"Master Hou, the sleigh is ready, how to get it?" The old craftsman wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at this simple wooden shelf and asked.

"Go and lead a horse, put on the bridle and the bridles, this sleigh is actually no different from a carriage!"

Chen Xu instructed a few servants to carry the carriage to the road at the entrance of the courtyard, and soon a horseman brought a short and sturdy horse used to pull grain and firewood from the house, and a group of domestic servants and carpenters swarmed up, and quickly put the sleigh on their hands and feet, and the groom sat on the carriage, and shook the reins lightly with a little excitement, and with the sound of driving, the horse stepped on the snow and walked forward, and the sleigh slid forward on the snow very easily.
