Chapter 140: The Problem of the Rice Harvester (Part I)
There is a saying that is called "a dog is nosy with a mouse".
It means that catching rats is not the job that dogs should do, it only needs to take care of the home and ensure the safety of the owner's life and property, and the cat should do this kind of thing, which describes that people should do their jobs and divide labor in an orderly manner.
And there is a more clichΓ© saying for this sentence, which is: "Nosy and eat fart!" β
Chen Fei now has a deep understanding of the philosophy of this sentence.
If on that sunny morning, he held back his momentary weakness and selectively ignored the model on Li Zhuo's desk, he should be lying comfortably at Cheng Yanjin's house and eating the ice cream he made last night, right?
It's really cheap, that kid!
Chen Fei felt deep regret and regretted why his hands were so idle at the beginning, and at this moment, he was "escorted" by Qian Zhongshu and others to the place where the rice cutter was like a criminal.
And the process of being detained was not very pleasant, walking on the road from time to time a crazy-eyed person stopped Li Zhuo, and then grabbed Li Zhuo's collar and sprayed him with a face.
"Boy, the old man wants manpower! This thing can't be made by the old man alone, so you can send me more people! β
Li Zhuo suddenly changed as if he was a person, and he kept currying favor in front of this old man.
"Elder Wang, don't worry, isn't this a recent shortage of funds, I will immediately apply to the Holy Lord, and strive to get more money to come over, so that I can expand the number of people."
The old man named Wang Lao didn't give Li Zhuo any face, kicked him far away, and spit a mouthful of phlegm at Li Zhuo viciously: "Phew! The kid is really useless, he can't draw out the manpower, what's the use of you, the owner of the strange workshop? It is better for the old man to go to see His Majesty in person tomorrow and ask His Majesty to draw supplies. β
Li Zhuo got up from the ground in embarrassment, touched his ass and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Elder Wang, the matter of manpower will be solved for you immediately......"
Elder Wang seemed to be in a hurry, and before Li Zhuo could finish speaking, he interrupted him viciously: "I'll give you three days, and if you can't send anyone to me within three days, I'll personally find Your Majesty to go!" β
Facing such a strong old man, Li Zhuo could only smile bitterly.
There is no way, the old man is a lot older, he is not a little thin, it looks like he can fall a whole body fracture if he is gently pushed to the ground, or the kind of crushing nature, Li Zhuo has to put on a smiling face, treat it like a slave, if the old man falls out of a good way, Li Shimin must rely on his head.
Li Zhuogang curried favor with Wang Lao, and before he took two steps, he was stopped by a bearded man.
This beard is rugged style, but like the old man in front, he still grabbed Li Zhuo's collar and sprayed his saliva along the way.
"Stinky boy, how many times has Lao Tzu said that there is not enough iron, why don't you send iron to Lao Tzu? There are so many people up and down here waiting to use it, Lao Tzu is out of work here, how do you let others start work? Aren't all the people who complain about Lao Tzu at that time? β
"Yes, yes, yes! I'll be sure to get supplies right away. Li Zhuo is making amends again, and he is very busy.
Chen Fei looked at it and secretly felt strange, to say that this Li Zhuo is also a descendant of the Li family in Longxi, his identity is not bad, and his temperament is the kind that is more impulsive, how can he be so polite to the craftsmen here?
You must know that this guy didn't even give Kong Yingda's affection at the beginning, and quarreled with him face to face, but how can he be like a grandson here? How honest can you be?
Puzzled, Chen Fei had no choice but to ask Qian Zhongshu beside him in a whisper.
Qian Zhongshu pursed his lips secretly, and whispered to Chen Fei: "The teacher likes to ponder these strange things, so he has always respected the craftsman, but it is those old pedants, who open their mouths and close their mouths are actually some sour words, and the teacher is annoyed to listen to them!" β
So that's the case, Chen Fei suddenly realized, and his gaze at Li Zhuo was full of awe. This guy has also been classified as "paranoid" by Chen Fei, and it is necessary to maintain the due awe.
Along the way, Li Zhuohao said that he got rid of a lot of troubles, and after a lot of hardships and hardships, he finally led Chen Fei to the vicinity of the rice harvester.
The rice cutter was placed in the southernmost corner of the square, and a behemoth made of wood with iron bars and chains embedded inside appeared in front of Chen Fei.
It is very similar to the rice harvester of later generations, except that it is all made of iron, and the main material in front of me is wood.
The difference between the two in application should not be too big, it is nothing more than that iron is more durable.
There was no one near the rice harvester, which was a little different from the lively scene in other places, and it seemed to be a little deserted here, only Chen Fei and a few people were here.
"This... What's the problem? β
Chen Fei scratched his head, logically speaking, the things he designed should not be too wrong, although many things are pieced together, but theoretically these designs are not mutually exclusive, and there should not be too many problems.
"Question... Qian Zhongshu, the three of you go up and step on the rice harvester. Li Zhuo asked Qian Zhongshu and a few people to get into the car.
Qian Zhongshu did not hesitate, and led the two junior brothers to climb onto the rice harvester.
"Lao Li, how do you get this thing?" Qian Zhongshu leaned down above and asked.
Without waiting for Li Zhuo to answer, Chen Fei preemptively said, "Did you see the pedal on the bottom of your feet?" Just put your foot on both pedals, and remember, all three people start pedaling at the same time! β
Qian Zhongshu retracted his head and looked inside for a while, as if he was looking for a pedal, and after a while, he came out again: "Found it, let's start immediately." Ma Yu, Dian Le, after I shouted one, two, three, everyone pedaled hard together. β
"Good!"
"Good!"
"One... Two... Three! Step on! β
With Qian Zhongshu's order, the rice harvester made a "squeak" sound, accompanied by the sound of gear friction, the whole machine was like a terrifying behemoth, rolling the rows of sharp blades in front of it, and slowly moving forward.
Chen Fei looked at this rice cutter and was apprehensive.
This should be the first thing he designed with his own hands, I wonder if it will work, and if there is a problem, where will it appear?
At this moment, Chen Fei looked like watching his child toddle for the first time, and his nervous heart hung tightly.
"Squeak! Squeak! β
The behemoth stepped on the pedal with Qian Zhongshu and others, slowly moving forward, and the roller blade of the rice cutting in front of it was connected to the gears of the machine, and as long as the machine was advancing, the rice would be cut synchronously.
"No problem!" Chen Fei frowned deeply, there was no problem with the whole machine in terms of coordination or function, what kind of wind did Li Zhuo have to call him over, and said that there was a problem with the machine.
At this moment, Chen Fei felt that he might have been tricked by Li Zhuo.
"Don't you think it's okay?"
Li Zhuo suddenly put a hand on Chen Fei's shoulder.
Chen Fei nodded, looking at the rice cutter and distracted: "Yes, there is really no problem." β
Li Zhuo nodded, pointed to the rice cutter and said, "The problem will come soon, you can see it." β
In front of the direction of the rice cutter is a weedy field, and the grass grows half a meter high, which is a good place to test whether the rice cutter can come in handy.
Chen Fei clenched his fists, looking forward to the performance of the product he had designed.
It's just that not long after the rice cutter entered the grassland, Chen Fei's face changed suddenly!
