Chapter 255: The First Chair of the Tang Dynasty

After staying at home for so many days, Wei Hong finally got rid of the cold bench and regained his previous status and identity. After Cheng Chumo's boys learned the news, they immediately came to Wei Hong to say hello, saying that Wei Hongji people have their own natural appearance, and they turn evil into good fortune, and so on. Wei Hong didn't care too much about them, and he still minded a little that these boys were not righteous and didn't come to him for so long. Yu Chi Baolin said that it was precisely because he didn't come to Wei Hong that he could highlight the friendship between them. If you come to Wei Hong during a sensitive period a while ago, it will add to the chaos.

There is no need for Yu Chi Baolin to say this, Wei Hong also knows it, but he is more or less awkward in his heart.

Since Wei Hong and Yan Ruyu said goodbye, it has not snowed in the capital. It's spring, but early spring is colder than winter, and it will take some time to plant the territory full of wheat. During this time, Wei Hong was not idle, he took root in the factory all night, ate and lived with the craftsmen, and concentrated on setting up a new type of forging furnace.

There are two kinds of new forging furnaces, the first forging furnace is not much different from ordinary forging furnaces in addition to the relatively strong firepower, and is mainly used for forging and processing some small and medium-sized parts. The second type of forging furnace is the giant forging furnace, which is also the core equipment of this plant, and this is the only one, Wei Hong named this giant forging furnace 'machine tool'.

The machine is surprisingly large, three meters high at the top and bottom, occupies an area of about ten square meters, and has two basic functions, melting and forging. The main applications are steel smelting and forging large parts. When the land thawed, the whole land was planted with crops, and the drought-resistant surname of wheat was fine, and it was basically not taken care of by Wei Hong. However, the specially set aside experimental field needs to be planted with some plants that are not native to Datang, so it needs to be carefully cared for, and water is an indispensable basic condition at that time. There is a river next to the territory, and if you want to get water, you have to make a waterwheel, and when the time comes, you will use a machine tool to forge the medium and large parts needed for the waterwheel.

After the machine tool is done, the plant ushered in the first task, according to Wei Hong's requirements, to manufacture pears, shovels and other agricultural tools, to lay the foundation for future farming. In addition to making ironware, Wei Hong will also tinker with some carpentry work in the factory when he has nothing to do, and make some gadgets needed for life.

The first thing Wei Hong made was a chair. In these years, people are still sitting on the ground, at most they are only sitting on stools and small horses, which is very uncomfortable. Wei Hong had a maza in his hometown in Hangzhou, but he didn't bring it with him when he came to the capital, and he had been helping Comrade Lao Li with errands later, and he didn't have time to make one. At this time, when he finally had his leisure, Wei Hong stopped inking, and spent half a day making a simple and practical chair.

The appearance of the chair is similar to that of Wei Hong's chair in that era, and the image description is that there is a chair back behind the stool, without armrests. Since it was the first chair, Wei Hong was particularly attentive and used files, talc and other items to polish and polish the rough chair. It only took half a day to make the chair, and it took a whole day to polish and polish the chair. After it was done, Wei Hong sent someone to send the chair home.

I thought that I would just make a chair, but when Wei Hong returned home and sat on the chair, he realized that he had overlooked a serious problem. Everything pays attention to a match, and this chair is no exception, and the chair is matched with the table. In those days, the tables were very low to sit on the floor. Wei Hong sat on a high chair, and the table became a pedal instead, and it became a chicken rib ornament.

Helpless, Wei Hong had no choice but to go back to the workshop and build a table. The desk is not large, the style is a desk type, and it is mainly used for office.

Sitting on the chair and putting his hands on the table, Wei Hong suddenly felt a breath from the afterlife, which was very comfortable.

Wan Niang was very curious when she saw the chair and high desk that Wei Hong was sitting on, so Wei Hong helped Wan Niang to sit on the chair, thinking that Wan Niang would find the chair very comfortable, but the result made Wei Hong a little disappointed. Wan Niang was born in this era, grew up in this era, and is a woman, she has been sitting on the ground since she was a child, and suddenly let her change her lifestyle, sitting on a high chair, her legs naturally drooping, but she felt unaccustomed.

"You'll know the benefits of the chair later." Wei Hong said casually, helped Wanniang away from the chair, and sat down again. Sitting on it, twisting his butt from time to time, looking for a sense of belonging to the living habits of future generations, there is still a little inexplicable excitement in my heart.

Leaning comfortably on the chair to read a book, Wan Niang sat down at Wei Hong's feet, sewing and mending. In front of Wan Niang, there was a small basket with all kinds of small pieces of cloth in it. Wei Hong didn't understand what these pieces of cloth were for at first, so he picked them up and looked at them, and saw that the shapes of the pieces of cloth were very irregular, and they were basically leftovers from making clothes in the trading house. Wei Hong suddenly thought of himself when he was a child, and then realized that these small pieces of cloth were diapers for children to deal with physiological excretion.

Wei Hong and Wan Niang only decided to have a child a few years ago, and it hasn't been long since Wan Niang's stomach hasn't even changed, so she is preparing diapers now, and she is a little too anxious from time to time? Besides, he is also a county magistrate now, and he has a knighthood. How can your own child use scraps as diapers? It's too cheap! Immediately, Wei Hong threw away all the pieces of cloth, and sent a servant to the warehouse to pull twenty feet of fine linen cloth and handed it to Wan Niang, so that Wan Niang could use these linen cloth to cut diapers, and if Yaxing arrived, she could also embroider some patterns on the rag. When the child was born, wrapped in a patterned diaper, even the butt and eggs became literary and artistic in an instant. As for why you use linen, the main reason is that linen is stronger than silk to absorb water, and silk is too slippery to be used as a diaper.

The small diaper in Wan Niang's basket aroused Wei Hong's enthusiasm. In order to avoid Wanniang's belly getting bigger, becoming uncomfortable, and her movements are not flexible, Wei Hongsuo's surname also made a chair for Wanniang. It took Wei Hong five days to create this chair, which was the 'chaise longue' of later generations, the size of half a bed, with a back and armrests, but the armrests were only on one side, and the other side was empty for leg stretching. The back and armrests of the chair are wrapped with goose feather cushions, and the outer skin is silk, which makes it very soft and comfortable to sit on. In addition, this chair was specially built by Wei Hong for Wan Niang, the height is just below Wan Niang's hip line, and there is no need for any big action to sit on the chair, which is very in line with the requirements of pregnant women.
