It was a new day, and Kong Jiji, a native of Xinzhou, stood up from the front of the handicraft table, stretched his waist and walked outside to ring the bell of the summons, and began to enjoy the small stove specially cooked for him, shrimp dumplings and fish fillets, as well as crab paste yellow buns.

He felt as if his bad luck was over and that good days were coming.

Here, he can finally do what he likes and enjoys, without thinking about his hometown in Xinzhou, obviously with mining and construction as his career, but in the smoke and fire, to maintain such a pulse of reading seeds, from Kong Jiji's generations ago, he was forced to learn what "Spring and Autumn Righteousness" T Five Classics Commentary, "Four Books and Reinterpretation" or something,

I have to be in academic research, and the distant Qubu clan, don't show a sign. It is precisely because of being in a reckless wilderness and living in a foreign land for a long time that it is necessary to pass these things to maintain the last bit of spiritual sustenance and obsession of Chinese orthodoxy and ancient country articles.

Like Kong Jiji in his crown ceremony, he got such a word "green feather", which means "chasing the blue bird and nine days of feathers, dreaming of his hometown and returning to the soul".

As everyone knows, his uncles and brothers who are far away have long been engaged in other careers, chasing copper and far away from books, doing everything in industry, commerce, fishing and hunting, and even a traitor, directly following the story of the ancient people who ran to the wilderness, and a daughter of a great chief outside the mountain, rode a horse and hunted bison.

He arrived in the legendary Canton as he wished, and found a beginning in his career here, although it was a somewhat semi-obsessive nature of the host, but all kinds of novel materials and tools soon made him forget all kinds of unhappiness and gains and losses.

Guangfu is worthy of being the best area in the world, the essence of the humanities, even if it is an ordinary businessman, it can have such a vast venue and complete equipment, a wide variety of utensils and craftsmen who are good at it. Many of his ideas and designs can also be verified one by one.

For example, the steel vernier caliper, such as the pressure pliers, the punch and drill wheel of foot pedal or animal power transmission, the hydraulic forging hammer, the animal power assembly line of the canvas belt, all of them, are rare good things

For the sake of cost, the wheel gear shafts that are only reinforced with wood or iron parts are replaced here with cast iron or stainless steel products that are polished to a very bright surface, and there is a special grease lubrication formula.

Not to mention,

There are more than 100 kinds of guns stored here, and as long as he can put them back as they are, he will let him sleep with them, and disassemble and analyze them to the point of satisfaction. There are also a variety of gunpowder recipes for him to use in practice, as long as he writes down the feelings and experiences of the response.

So much so that his two "children" created by himself have been neglected by him for a long time.

It's just that he found that sometimes, he had to compete for some resources with a one-eyed cripple called Shen Craftsman.

Well, he admits that this old fellow is indeed very good at mechanical construction and transmission, as well as standardized fine processing, but it cannot hide his ignorance and shortcomings in firearms.

He actually directly used refined Tianzhu iron to process the pipe, but he didn't know that the good materials and equipment were wasted by him, compared to his concentric axle punching and drilling method, the wasted iron and drill bits.

If the heating internal forging method of the Kong family is adopted, even if it is inferior to the Annan iron, it can be completely made lighter, thinner and stronger.

Of course, he also has to admit that in terms of processing efficiency, the labor and time required to make one piece of the internal forging method are enough to make five or even ten pieces of punching and drilling, and the process sequence is much more economical.

After this kind of dispute was reported, the owner, who seemed to be quite discerning, proposed to give them a chance to compete, let Kong Jiji find a way to reduce the process and labor, and let Shen Cripple find a way to control the cost and increase the intensity.

The rejection rate should be controlled at least three times out of ten, and the error rate of the finished product should not exceed one-tenth of the millimeter.

Well, for the sake of the conditions and materials provided by the master's family in unlimited quantities, he can only pinch his nose and endure it, who calls himself to send people under the fence, and has hobbies and interests that he can't give up. It's just that there are many opportunities and times to stop the one-eyed Shen lame man every day.

One is young and strong, full of ideas and creativity, and the other is experienced and senior, and is the best at grasping the whole, and there are still long days to come.

The sun is scorching, the cicadas are chirping, but my home is building a lot of construction and installing new equipment for summer cooling

The craftsmen with the bare bangs pushed together a huge wooden wheel on a high place, rubbing and squeezing with tooth acid until it was tightly embedded in the groove, and then chiseled with a red-hot nail and hammer.

"Became ......"

With the turning of the wheels, in a cheer, the silver water in the pipes of the courtyard trusses swept through like a white chain, turning into a crystal line of water gushing out of the ground, and swishing on the small mountain stone water pavilion in the courtyard, stirring and splashing, even the air between the flowers and trees became moist and cool.

This new equipment, the so-called earthen air conditioner characteristic of this era, also has a rudimentary running water system. It is said to be one of the legacies left by the predecessor of the time-traveler.

Although it has undergone successive changes from Chang'an to Guangzhou, the details have changed greatly according to local conditions, but its principle has not been much distorted.

It is nothing more than the underground cooling water drawn by a certain centrifugal force and circulated in the pipes in the building to achieve the purpose of limited cooling.

For example, the practice that originated in the north is woodworking glue fused with paint and other substances, soaked in thick cloth and wrapped into a pipe, with knotted bamboo as the inner bone, which solves the most troublesome problems of sealing and pipes, and can also keep warm and leakage-proof. In the south, it becomes a ceramic pipe and a sealing adhesive made of lime and tung oil.

Then, the centrifugal force driven by the manpower or animal power water wheel directly draws relatively low temperature cold water from the bottom of the natural lake, or the pond in the courtyard, or even the bottom of the deep well used by the people, and circulates the refrigeration through the buried pipeline. It can not only deliver cold air to various halls and rooms, but also provide some kind of tap water on the street.

If it is really in the north, it can also be connected to a boiler in winter and become a kind of heating pipe. Compared with the sluggishness and regression of scientific and technological development in other aspects, the requirements of the upper class in terms of life enjoyment and comfort are not discounted at all.

The construction of such a set of equipment will cost at least 5,000 yuan, mainly in terms of technology and craftsmanship, and the corresponding technology and personnel are in the hands of the imperial court.

After all, it is not affordable for ordinary people to build a complete set of circulating pipes that are sealed and durable enough to provide cooling water in their homes. Theoretically, the larger and deeper the pool in the backyard, the better the cooling effect it can provide, and the better if it can draw water from a more fluid river or deep lake.

All that is spent on a day-to-day basis is the wear and tear of the livestock cycle and some simple regular maintenance.

The one I use in my house is the most technologically mature type, the centrifugal shaft is driven by animal power, constantly presses the water up the high water tank, and then turns into some kind of gushing spring water and water flowing in the culvert under the gravity of the artesian gravity, and then passes through a special device in the wall to become a mist sprayed on the root of the wall or in the corners.

In the natural process of evaporative convection, which takes away the heat from the room, by the way humidifies the air, and there is a faint circulation of cool breezes, but limited to the existing scale and layout, the artesian wells and cisterns in the courtyard can only provide the effect of a few rooms.

But this is enough to ⊥ the little girls in my family, who have been suffering from the hot summer season in Canton, all kinds of spirits and joy.

After the courtyard was cleaned up, they sat directly in the shade under the rockery, led by the enigmatic creatures, and slapped their feet into the cold spring water, and began to play.

But the glasses lady Cui Wanting, very envious and a little reserved and embarrassed, was narrowly hearted by me, secretly tiptoed to the back to stop the waist and pick up, like a cute fish, slightly struggling to be put into the water by me,

It's just that I didn't expect her to be a landlubber, and she reacted a little too much to the water, and she was like a cat in a hurry to escape from the bath, scratching my back and shoulders a few times, and almost slipped out of my arms.

In the meantime, the large mass of fragrant nephrite, the suffocating feeling of squeezing and grinding on my face, is indescribable, and it is not enough for outsiders.

However, after soaking her shoes and socks and a large skirt, she had no choice but to let herself go, and make a splash like them.

Then, I sat next to them, smiling at the qiē.

Once I have bought the house between my family and the small mansion of the mysterious creature not far away, the two can be opened up and merged to make a larger courtyard, so that the large empty space left by the demolition can be dug into a large pool in a sense.

Soon the little girls were playing a game of splashing, and under my secret sneak attack, it turned into an indiscriminate splashing scuffle.

The first to lose, sure enough, was to hold her head and squat, she was splashed head-on, all kinds of throwing away armor into the first soup chicken, she couldn't help but launch the long-lost signboard, holding her head and squatting into the water, with a curled back, bravely facing the wind and rain.

Then there was the stupid Luo Ameng, who was almost caught by the sudden explosion of the mysterious creature, lost her balance and fell head-on, but she snorkeled silently like a fish.

With her hands on her hips, she slammed a series of enigmatic creatures that were like queens, jumped out of the water from behind, and were dragged into the water in reverse hugs.

In the end, Ah Lu, who was left giggling, did not become the winner, because she was pulled by the skirt of the mysterious creature that stepped forward, and slapped herself into the water like a butterfly with wet wings.

Then a group of little girls pulled each other, rippling in the water like cute fish, as the most adult woman among them, Cui Wanting was accidentally involved in it, pulling this is not, pulling that is not good, but was splashed with a lot of water,

A blush and shy, curvy and wet look, looks particularly delicious and moving, if it weren't for the fact that it is now in broad daylight, when there are many people, I have to go up to the ghost animal, and she has a pleasant friendly competition-style water battle.

I can't help but feel a little satisfied with life like this. It's just that this eye blessing didn't last long

Just like the hen guarding the chicks, Sister Yue, who hurried over with a few big-footed maids and a large scarf, frowned angrily, and in a variety of kind and slightly reproachful tones, she was obediently pulled up, and rushed back to the room one by one to change clothes and rub her body, in case of cold and humidity, it is said that even hot drinks have been prepared.

Even I, as one of the culprits, was said a few words by her without itching or pain, which was nothing more than strange words such as "I won't cherish the people around me" and "What if I rushed to the blood", so I could only hum and nod my head full of promises, and humbly accept the resolute and unchanging fooling past.

Before dinner, there was a message from the Borneo Hall that Cai Liao, the old minister I cared about, had not come back yet, and I don't know if it was because of Alu's matter, so he had the intention to avoid me for the time being.

But my other relative, that arms dealer Fat Hole, has something to do with me? , what can he do, since I got the status of the army, the need for him as a channel has suddenly decreased a lot.

Especially in Shanliusi and Anyuan Prefecture in Tiannan, the so-called surplus materials obtained from the names of the officials and soldiers, at least even if there is a need for weapons, will have to be queued for several years.

When there is no longer a need, the existence of this illegal identity is naturally as little contact as possible.
