Chapter 113: The Water Wheel and the Fire Pit Bed{1}

The day before yesterday, when he discussed digging a ditch with Wei Yunqi in the county guard mansion to fight drought, Su Shang finally drew a sketch of Wei Yunqi of the water wheel and the fire pit bed.

The winter in Donglai County is very cold, there is no cotton at this time, and the people cannot afford to buy leather jackets or anything, so when they go to bed at night in winter, they can only burn a fire in the house, and then spread some hay straw and wheat stalks on the bed to make quilts. In this way, not only is it not ambiguous and unsteady, but it is also very dangerous and prone to fire, so Su Shang remembered the fire pit bed in the dream world, which is an ambiguous artifact in winter, as long as this fire pit bed can be promoted, the people of Donglai County can live a warm and solid winter.

Now these two things, Wei Yunqi has already arranged for craftsmen to build them outside the city, and their patterns can be built today, Su Shang wants to take advantage of today's outing with Cui Qingying, by the way, to see how effective they are, to see if there is anything that needs to be improved, and to correct them in time, so as not to affect the promotion and use.

"Master Su, you are so amazing! Understands so many things! Madoka couldn't help but exclaim, looking at Su Shang's back with bright eyes, his eyes full of admiration and admiration.

Cui Qingying also agreed, and nodded again and again, but at this time, her cheeks became more red and pink, and she was secretly scolding herself in her heart, she was ashamed that she misunderstood Su Gongzi's thoughts, and Su Gongzi was wholeheartedly thinking about the people, but she misunderstood that he had bad thoughts about herself, which really shouldn't be!

"Yes! Yes! Xiaoxiao also thinks that my brother is very powerful, and my brother will make a lot of delicious things! ”

Xiaoxiao also made a noise, she still didn't understand what the water wheel and the fire pit bed were, but in her heart, as long as anyone could cook a lot of delicious food, she would think that person was very powerful.

"You snack!" Su Shang was a little helpless, turned around and glared at Xiao Xiaoxiao.

"I'm not a foodie! My brother can cook so many delicious things, and my brother is a foodie! ”

Xiaoxiao raised his small fist and protested loudly towards Su Shang's back, "I am the cutest Su Xiaoxiao!" ”

Su Shang was speechless, patted his forehead helplessly, ignored Xiaoxiao, and concentrated on driving his carriage. Cui Qingying's master and servant looked at Su Shang's funny appearance, secretly pursed their lips, and laughed

Along the way, the four of them talked and laughed, and they were very happy, especially the funny between Su Shang and Xiaoxiao, which made Cui Qingying's master and servant hide their mouths and laugh from time to time. Soon their wagon came to a small village along the river outside the city, where the crops in the fields around the village were no longer green because of the lack of water, but all had turned yellow and yellow, and there was little life.

At this time, in a crop field by the river, fourteen or fifteen people were surrounding a waterwheel, and several people were still wearing court official uniforms, and it seemed that Wei Yunqi was also among them.

Su Shang jumped out of the carriage with the three of them and walked over together.

Wei Yunqi and the few people wearing official uniforms, after seeing Su Shang and the four people, hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and those few people and craftsmen saw this situation, thinking that some big officials were coming, and they also knelt on the ground with their legs in front of Su Shang and the four of them, and bowed respectfully.

"Get up! Rise up, everybody! ”

Su Shang stepped forward to help everyone, and said with a smile: "Everyone doesn't need to be polite!" I'm here today to learn from you, you can continue to be busy, ignore me! ”

"Let's go! Let's go over and have a look! ”

Su Shang said to Cui Qingying, the master and servant beside him, holding Xiaoxiao with his left hand, and walked towards the water truck surrounded by everyone.

"Master Su, is this a water truck?"

Cui Qingying stood beside Su Shang and asked softly, the three girls were very curious, Xiaoxiao had now pulled Xiaoyuan girl, circled around the water truck to observe, and her mouth was still squeaking and talking, as if she was sharing her opinions with Xiaoyuan girl.

"Yes. This is the tipping wheel. ”

Su Shang agreed, turned his head to look at Wei Yunqi, and asked with a smile: "Brother Yunqi, has this water turning truck been installed, has it been tried, and what is the effect?" ”

"Not yet. The president is just in time, and this last component is about to be installed! ”

After speaking, Wei Yunqi turned around and shouted to the few ordinary craftsmen: "Everyone work hard, hurry up and load this water turning truck!" This water truck was invented by this child, if there is any problem with the water truck that needs to be improved, you can directly ask the son for guidance. ”

Su Shang was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Brother Yunqi is too much to lift me!" I don't dare to take credit, this watermill was drawn by me based on the records of folk scrolls! ”

"The president is too modest! However, since the chairman said that it was recorded in the folk scrolls, it is safe that the method of making this watermill has been lost among the people! ”

Wei Yunqi looked at the water dump and said with a little feeling: "I have been an official for so many years, and I have been to many places, but I have never seen such a water truck. Today, the president has reappeared from the ancient scrolls, and the same is for the benefit of the people, and the merit is immeasurable! ”

"Two adults, the water truck is ready! How does this thing work? The leader of the craftsmen ran to Su Shang and the others to report that they had finally installed the water turning truck, and they were also a little anxious to see the effect.

"Good! Let's try it first, how about it? ”

Su Shang stepped forward to tell everyone in detail about the operation method of the water truck, the operation method of the water truck is very simple, this is a pedal water truck, only two people need to step on the pedal on the crossbar of the water wheel at the same time. The crowd quickly figured out how to operate the dumper, and then the two craftsmen volunteered to get on the pedals and give it a try!

With the two craftsmen stepping up and down, the sprocket blade slowly rotated, the river water rose under the drive of the leaf board, and flowed out along the upper end of the long wooden trough, the two craftsmen stepped on it more and more skillfully, the faster they stepped on it, the river water flowing out of the long wooden trough became bigger and bigger, and after a while, the dry cracked plots around the water truck were soaked!

"Brother, Xiaoxiao also wants to try." Xiaoxiao watched the two craftsmen stepping on it playfully, aroused curiosity, and said coquettishly to Su Shang.

Su Shang looked around and refused directly, "No!" It's just you a little kid here, and no one can cooperate with you, it's too dangerous! ”

"Nasty brother, ignore you!"

Xiao Xiao pursed her small mouth, turned to the side, and squeaked with Cui Qingying's master and servant, as if she was accusing them of Su Shang's crime, Cui Qingying's master and servant were full of smiles, and they glanced at Su Shang from time to time.

"President, it looks like this watermill is fine." Wei Yunqi looked at Su Shang and said with a smile, "This effect is really good!" ”

"Well, there's nothing wrong with this tipping truck. The only drawback is that this kind of water turning truck needs to be stepped on by manpower, and it would be better if it could be driven by river water. ”

"My lord, is there such a water truck?" The leader of the craftsmen was pleasantly surprised at Su Shang, as an ordinary craftsman, he has always been very concerned about these things that concern his personal interests.

"Yes. However, that kind of water turning wheel, unlike this one, is much more difficult to build, and it is not very suitable for the current environment. It is not until after this drought that the water turning wheel can be promoted. Su Shang explained to the craftsman with a smile.

After speaking, he said to Wei Yunqi beside him: "Brother Yunqi, after you go back, you come to me to get the drawings, and then make all kinds of preparations, and when this wave of drought is over, it will be promoted in the whole county." ”

"Yes!"

"That's it! That's it for this tipper, let's take a look at the fire pit bed. Brother Yunqi, did you arrange the fire pit bed to be built in that people's house? Please find me someone to show me the way! ”

"It's not far from here. President, I'll take you there! ”

Is the overlord of the late Sui Dynasty good-looking?
