However, the plough sticks for ploughing can be reformed themselves, which can make them plough more time-saving and labor-saving.

Gu Bei recalled for a moment, picked up the pen and began to sketch on the rice paper.

Chen Jinwang, who was next to him, had a glint in his eyes......

As long as Gu Bei is seen writing and drawing on rice paper, it means that the owner has inspiration, and a new invention will be born......

Leaning over to take a look, some well-defined figures appeared on the rice paper.

"This is a plough stick for ploughing the land?" Chen Jinwang only glanced at it, this was a plough that had been disassembled, but when he looked at it again, he found that it was not like it.

How is this plough rod bent? It's strange, isn't this kind of crooked plough stick better than a straight plow? Chen Jinwang had a lost hope in his heart.

After a while, Gu Bei finished drawing the drawings.

Qu Yuan plow, he had not only seen it in the countryside, but also studied it up close.

"Lao Chen, is Carpenter Wang in the port?"

"Naturally, after all, he is indispensable for building a house, but, the owner, we can just buy this plough stick, there is no need to make it. Besides, your drawing is a little wrong......" Chen Jinwang nodded and said.

Although he felt that it was a little bad to expose the owner's mistakes in this way, as a good employee of Xia Guo, he felt that he couldn't watch the owner waste money.

Gu Bei was taken aback, and thought that the Quyuan plough he drew was really wrong, so he quickly checked it carefully, and found nothing wrong, and asked suspiciously: "Old Chen, what's wrong?" ”

Quyuan plough is a sign of the maturity of China's farming tools, and it would be a tragedy if it was wrong!

What's wrong?

You're wrong everywhere, make a mess of this ploughstick!

Chen Jinwang endured it and didn't dare to say it, after all, he had already pointed out a mistake, and pointed it out one after another, so where would the owner's face go?

"So-and-so, I'll bring in Carpenter Wang."

Let the carpenter tell you later, Chen Jinwang thought to himself.

After a while, Chen Jinwang called Carpenter Wang. On the way over, he had already arranged for Carpenter Wang, and asked him to take the opportunity to persuade the owner.

"I wonder what my uncle wants to do? The old man dares to say that he has no other skills, only this pair of skillful hands, but there is nothing that cannot be done if he runs in the sky and on the ground! If my uncle wants to play something, say it, and I'll do it immediately!"

Carpenter Wang blew a little bit and threw away the cowhide, and he couldn't make a drop when he flew, as for the run...... It doesn't seem to work either, Khan!

Chen Jinwang was speechless for a moment, and glared angrily at Carpenter Wang with a flattering face, what Lao Tzu just said made you forget the back of your head?

Gu Bei showed the drawings on the table to Carpenter Wang and said, "Come and see if you can make this ploughstick?" ”

When Carpenter Wang heard this, he quickly rubbed his hands on his pants and wiped them clean, before respectfully accepting the drawings handed over by Gu Bei and watching them carefully.

"Huh? There's something strange about the look of this ploughstick...... Aren't all plows straight? How can it become crooked? ”

Carpenter Wang frowned and looked at the strange guy on the drawing, sure it was a plowstick, but it was different in many places.

He is an old carpenter, and his skills are very good, not only in the Baifu house, but also in several nearby dignitaries, and occasionally he will be asked to make ploughsticks, repair houses, and make furniture...... Even the waterwheel designed by his uncle was built by him.

He couldn't understand this thing on the drawing, but the lines of the drawing were clearly recognizable, and it was obvious that it was not a mistake.

Carpenter Wang felt a little weak in his heart, and secretly glanced at Gu Bei, thinking that his uncle saw that he was not busy enough, and he drew something blindly, so let's find fault together?

Ahem, joke joke......

But it shouldn't be possible, my uncle is a proper nobleman now, and he has nothing to do to entertain himself as a stinky carpenter?

Could it be that this strange-shaped thing is really a plowstick?

Carpenter Wang felt that Gu Bei would not entertain himself for no reason, so he calmed down and looked at the drawings carefully, grinding what the use of each scattered component was.

After all, he is an experienced old carpenter, and he has touched more wood than ordinary people eat in his life.

"Qu Yuan...... Hey, in this way, wouldn't it be better to stabilize the center of gravity at the top of this curved arc? In the past, in order to ensure the center of gravity of the plough stick, so that it can move in a straight line, the use of a straight wheel requires two ploughing oxen to pull forward at the same time...... The plough wheel is so straight and twisted, isn't it just a ploughing ox that can pull the plough stick to plough the land? My forehead is dripping, this design is simply ingenious!"

Carpenter Wang was shocked, and immediately saw how great the significance of the plowrod on this drawing would be if it could be made.

The simplest point is to turn two ploughing oxen pulling a plough rod into one.

What does this mean?

This means that under the premise of ploughing the same amount of cattle at the same time, the speed of ploughing will be doubled!

There are more than 10,000 acres of land under Gu Bei's name, and if you want to plough it all before autumn ploughing, you must buy a large number of ploughing cattle. However, the number of cultivated cattle in the Xia Dynasty was extremely limited, even if Gu Bei was willing to spend a lot of money to buy them, he could only buy a small number of cultivated cattle, not to mention that cultivated cattle were protected by the government and were forbidden to buy and sell.

Therefore, if Gu Bei wants to finish plowing the land before autumn ploughing, he must buy hundreds of ploughing cattle, and according to the previous use of straight ploughs to plough the land, more than 10,000 acres of land cannot be fully cultivated.

However, Luobei Port is in a difficult period, and manpower is needed everywhere, and even if all the women and children go into battle, it will be difficult to complete the cultivation.

If no one ploughs the land by hand, can they simply use a plough stick to draw a ridge and plant some seeds at will, what will be the yield?

If you had this kind of curved plough, wouldn't you use ploughing oxen to plough most of the land? The rest of the land can be cultivated by manpower, and all the land can be cultivated!

Isn't there an increase in grain production?

The most serious thing is, what if all the people in the world use this kind of curved plow?

Carpenter Wang's hands holding the drawings kept trembling, and his whole body was swinging, only to feel that the drawings in his hands were simply priceless, if a commoner dedicated this thing to the court, His Majesty is afraid that it is not too much to reward a marquis, right? Last time he built a waterwheel for the benefit of the people, his uncle rewarded him with a lot of money, what about the Quyuan plow this time? Wouldn't it be a great reward?

Gu Bei looked at Carpenter Wang's sluggish expression, his body kept trembling, and he couldn't help but be startled, could it be that this Carpenter Wang still had a stroke?

"Uncle, the old man will live up to his trust, and it will only take three days to make this quyuan plow."

Seeing that his uncle agreed, Carpenter Wang took the rare and treasure-like drawings and left.

That night, when he had nothing to do, Gu Bei began to grind the matter of soap one by one, rice fat, soap horn, aloe vera and the like are easy to say, but how to get this essence?

In later generations, there was a special method for refining essences, but how could there be ready-made flavors in the Xia Dynasty? If you want to use flavor, you have to find your own way.

Essence, I can only find a way to get some petals, but this is not a problem of one or two, but a lot of flowers are needed.

grind by grind, and finally hit the idea on the lady's flower bed.

In the past two days, Gu Bei didn't go out, nested in the study, pouring bottles and jars, glutinous rice, soaphorn, aloe vera plus honey that needs to be mixed, and the rest are petals.

got up early in the morning and brought Xiao Ran over, Gu Bei told him his idea, who knew that the head of the bodyguard, Xiao Ran, shook like a rattle.

"Lao Xiao, Uncle Ben has eaten and drunk a lot of you, right? Even the Chinese wine that Cheng Shibo coveted is for you to drink, but what about fifty taels and one bottle, and Uncle Ben asked you to do this, so you retreated? ”

Xiao Ran blushed a little, he was holding the wine bottle and blowing it violently when he had nothing to do in the past few days, but when his uncle made a request, he shook his head.

In the end, Gu Bei finally moved him by relying on his incorruptible tongue, coupled with a lot of promises and promises that he should be bitter.

After breakfast, taking the opportunity of Bai Luoshi and Qing'er going to their mother-in-law's yard, Gu Bei and Xiao Ran led a group of generals to rush into the flowerbed with great vigor and vigor, and swept the flowerbed clean like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.

Looking at the bare flower garden, not even a single flower bone was left, Xiao Ran's brows jumped wildly, will the eldest lady beat a certain?

Gu Bei didn't think about it so much, and led a group of accomplices to the vacant courtyard in the south and started his own plan to refine soap.

A group of generals were all pulled by Gu Bei, and even Xiao Ran was not idle, and began to brush up the cauldron and burn the fire.

I want him to be able to ...... Well, the text is not ...... Wu Ke got off the horse and decided the situation, when did he do such a thing?

As soon as he thought of what he did today, Xiao Ran was terrified.

"Uncle, are you sure you can get this soap, if you can't get it, you will be unlucky......"

"Lao Xiao, you don't talk nonsense, hurry up and work, when something happens, Aunt Ben will carry it, you just push it on Aunt Ben!"

Gu Bei is very single, everything has been done, and he is afraid of a bird, no matter how ruthless Luo Shi is, can he really beat people to death?

Ahem, at most, it's going to get out of the house......

In fact, Gu Bei still used the previous method, which was to draw on the technique of Tianxiang Dew, extract the petal liquid, and then refine it little by little. As the heat distilled, the sealed cauldron finally began to drip water, a very slow process that took two hours to complete.

Next, the petals are removed, the distilled liquid is poured into it to continue to heat and layer, and after repeated refining, less than half a bottle of flavor is finally obtained.

Leaving the liquid left for refining, Gu Bei asked a general to put in dozens of catties of lard prepared in advance, so Xiao Ran began to boil the lard sadly.

In another large pot, extract the soap and aloe vera, mix it with lard, then mix it with the liquid left over from the essence, cook it until it is viscous, and start to stop the fire until it cools down.

Looking at the pot full of lard, I always felt that something was missing, yes, it was the color, and the petals that were taken out before were mashed and mixed in.

In this way, in a busy day of a group of people, they finally made the first bar of soap in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Looking at the huge piece of soap in front of them, everyone looked at each other.

Is this soap?

Gu Bei asked someone to take a knife, cut off a boxy piece of soap, and handed it to Xiao Ran casually, "Old Xiao, you can try the effect first, and apply some when you wash your hands, of course...... You can also wipe some on your face. ”

Uncle, this is discrimination and black face!

Xiao Ran touched the Dongdong in his hand, slippery, and felt resentful in his heart.

In front of everyone, Xiao Ran experienced the effect of a handful of soap, and after a while, his eyes widened and he said in surprise, "Hey, the washing is cleaner, and there is still a fragrance on my hands, haha, I didn't expect this thing to be so easy to use." ”

The generals also saw the value of this thing at this time, but they didn't know how about taking a bath with this thing?

It was already evening when Bai Luoshi returned to the small courtyard from her mother, and when she was about to go to the flower garden to water, she glanced at it and never moved her feet again. The once beautiful flower beds have become bare, and the most ruthless thing is that not even a single flower bone remains.

After thinking about it for a while, Bai Luoshi had the answer in her heart, the entire flower garden was carefully cultivated by her, carefully cared for, and never faked her hands to others, and the people in the house would never dare to come in.

"Come on, take Miss Ben to find your uncle!"

Qing'er is also sweating on her forehead, and her uncle is really doing this kind of thing.

Qing'er helped Bai Luoshi to go to the courtyard in Gubei under the leadership of the servant, and the momentum was so loud that it shocked all the subordinates.

Mrs. Qin chatted with her daughter for a day of private conversations today, she was a little tired, she was about to have dinner, she rested early, listened to the noise outside, asked a little, and couldn't help but support her forehead, "It's all in vain today." ”

I couldn't sit still, so I could only rush over to see the situation.

In the small courtyard to the south, Gu Bei was standing alone in the courtyard, and as for Xiao Ran and the group of generals, they had already hidden.

I can't afford to mess with it!

Under the home remedies window, a few pairs of eyes were revealed, and a general shrank back after a glance, "Boss, do you think my uncle will be beaten?" ”

"What do you say? If my uncle is beaten, the sun will really hit the west tomorrow, hey, fortunately, I ran fast Otherwise, I wouldn't be used as a punching bag by the eldest lady. ”

"Also, how does my uncle say that he is also the eldest lady's husband, as the saying goes, husband and wife quarrel at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed, hehe......"

"You talk a lot!"

Xiao Ran turned around and glared at the general viciously.

In the small courtyard.

"Husband, did you do today's thing?"

"Uh, hehe, the weather is good today, the lady's clothes are good, I don't know where it was ordered?"

"Don't change the subject,"

"Uh, well, it's for the husband, lady, what do you want?"

"Miss Ben doesn't want to do anything either, since you like this yard, I just want you to sleep in this tree for a few days."

"Ahh Do you want to be so ruthless? We are husband and wife, husband and wife quarrel at the head of the bed, you let your husband sleep on the tree, you are going to murder your husband! ”

"You, you're going to die, what nonsense, Qing'er, don't let people hang him up......" Bai Luo Shiqiao's face was red and her mind was dizzy, how could he say this in public?

A group of subordinates, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to step forward, eldest lady, do you want to do this! Is there anything you husband and wife can do in bed?

The subordinates, who couldn't stand the pressure of the eldest lady, finally compromised, and just as they were about to step forward, Gu Bei suddenly became anxious, "Don't, lady, in fact, there are hardships for being a husband." ”

Bai Luoshi sneered all over her face, and Yu pointed at Gu Bei, "Husband, what are your troubles?" ”

"Uh, lady, in fact, this is also for the sake of honoring the mother-in-law, and also for the sake of the mother......"

"Nonsense, what does my mother want you to honor?"

"It's not nonsense." Gu Bei's eyes were very thief, and he saw a figure outside the door walking towards him, took out a piece of soap from his waist, tried to squeeze out some tears, and rushed forward, "Mother-in-law, you have to save your son-in-law, in order to get some good things for you, you were bullied to death by your mother." ”

The people in the courtyard suddenly collapsed, all of them were stunned by Gu Bei's performance, Bai Luoshi stared at her beautiful eyes, her breasts kept rising and falling, who bullied whom!

Looking at Gu Bei in front of her, Mrs. Qin couldn't help laughing, took the strange thing, touched it, and asked in a low voice, "What the hell is this?" ”

"This is called soap, or it can be said to be soap, but it is made by the son-in-law who worked hard to get this thing, but he hasn't eaten for a day."

Gu Beida was not ashamed to speak, and Xiao Ran and the others, who were hiding in the distance, were slandered for a while.

Uncle, this day you will be bare-mouthed, now it's good, all the credit is on yourself.

Mrs. Qin was so smart, she didn't know how careful he was, and she didn't break it, so she continued to ask, "What is the use of this soap?" ”

"Wash your hands, your hands are dirty, when you wash your hands and face, you can apply some, not only clean, but also leave a fragrance."

"Really?"

When Mrs. Qin encountered such a rare thing, she couldn't resist the temptation, and immediately took the soap and experimented with it, and smiled happily, "Okay, it's all gone, how big is it, it's worth making such a big move?" ”

Mrs. Qin personally sent a message, and a group of subordinates dispersed, the eldest lady was just pretending to be and needed a step down, and she was really willing to let her uncle sleep on the tree?

Bai Luoshi didn't comply, and held Mrs. Qin's arm and shook it for a while, "Mother, how can you get used to him like this, look at him, now he is becoming more and more lawless......"

"Hmph, you girl, you are just fierce, just some flowers, are you really willing to beat Gu Bei?"

Bai Luoshi pursed her lips a little unconvinced, and there was a lot of disbelief in her tone, "What's reluctant?" ”

Qing'er stood aside and kept snickering, with Mrs. Qin coming forward, the matter was over, and after listening to the other effect of this soap, Bai Luoshi also liked it very much.

In the room,

"Gu Bei, you tell me the truth, what is the cost of this thing, and is the process complicated?"

"Back to my mother-in-law, the process of this thing is a bit complicated, but the cost is not high."

"But anyone else knows?"

"This thing is grinded out by the son-in-law himself, and others don't know it, and those who know the process will still have those generals."

After thinking about it, Gu Bei continued, "Does my mother-in-law want my son-in-law to do this soap business?" It shouldn't be a big problem, and those who know the craft are their own people. ”

Mrs. Qin was secretly frightened, Gu Bei was really shrewd and flexible, just by asking a few questions, he had already thought through it.
