Luo Xiaoqiao was stunned for a long time, looking at the large and small wooden blocks on the ground, and after breathing a sigh of relief, he finally regained his confidence.

The ancients had many skilled craftsmen, and they could even build a pavilion without a single nail, but so what?

Have they ever seen machinery? Have you ever seen a complex combination of gears, pulleys, or bearings? If not, that's the opportunity.

Before the foreign devils came in, Western grandfather clocks could be regarded as treasures, so although she was simple, but she integrated enough wisdom things, there should also be people who know the goods.

"Grandma", Luo Xiaoqiao raised his head: "Although our family doesn't have much food, but, believe me, today's lunch is hard to cook, we are full, help me in the afternoon, and let's go to the county seat tomorrow to gamble." ”

Grandma Luo was a little surprised, she was thinking about the coarse grain in the crockpot, how long she could save money, and her granddaughter gave her a big problem.

But seeing that Luo Xiaoqiao was still holding the bulging red envelope on his head, he couldn't bear to say anything if he refused.

"Okay, anyway, if you don't pay the money in half a year, we don't know what to do, so it's better to listen to you first."

This lunch was the fullest they had eaten in the past year, and while their appetite was satisfied, they were faintly worried about the future, so they were not very comfortable eating.

After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Luo Xiaoqiao arranged things for everyone.

Grandpa is responsible for polishing the parts that are still rough on the smooth ground, grandma continues to cut wood chips, Luo Xiaoni's hands are more skillful, and she is responsible for carving the gears carved by Niu Niu again.

Although they didn't know what the things in their hands were for, they listened to her instructions without any objections.

The tools were not in hand, the efficiency was very low, and after tossing for an afternoon, she barely managed to get the spare parts she wanted.

In the evening, it was finally time to wrap up.

Luo Niuniu saw her fingers flying, constantly picking up round, square, and toothed parts from the ground, and wearing them one by one. I never thought that the card slots that were originally opened in different positions could just right to fix these wooden blocks of different shapes.

A quarter of an hour later, Grandpa Luo looked fixedly at the thing less than a foot high in front of him, and asked tentatively, "What is this?" ”

Although he couldn't see what was in front of him, he just felt subtle for no reason.

Next to it is a round roulette wheel with eight carved teeth, which are connected to another pinion, both transverse and vertical, all arranged in just the right position.

"What is this thing for?" , Grandpa Luo was a little puzzled, just with this strange thing, he could sell it for money? He still wasn't convinced.

Luo Xiaoqiao smiled faintly, "It's over, you see." ”

Luo Xiaoqiao said as he shook the handle with his hand, and with the rotation of the compass, there was a sound of rubbing gears snapping, and he saw that the cylinder erected next to him rotated, and the six slots with holes below followed the direction.

They are obviously turning the handle vertically, why are they turning horizontally on the opposite side?

A few people were a little dumbfounded, just looking at the exposed wooden gears, biting one after another, transmission...

"How did you do that?" , Grandpa Luo's old eyes lit up instantly, he had already discovered that this gadget, although it was useless, but the rich people would definitely be interested, as long as they found the right way, they should be able to sell it for money.

"The teeth and teeth can change direction at different angles, this is a pen holder, you can insert six brushes here", Luo Xiaoqiao pointed to the six holes next to the cylinder and said, "But it can't be compared with the master of the organ, it's a rich man." ”

Looking at Luo Niu's greedy staring, Luo Xiaoqiao touched his head: "It's too late today, I'll make one for you later." ”

Hope is finally back in the family's yard.

After an afternoon of rushing work, only such a thing was made, and Luo Xiaoqiao felt a little dissatisfied.

She glanced down at the ground, there were still a few columns on the ground, and when she looked up, she saw the well outside the door, "There is." ”

She was the conductor again, this time with her hands and feet neatly making a mock wheel. Although it was such a simple thing, Luo Xiaoqiao also combined pulleys and gears to make things as complicated as possible.

Shaking the handle, the small wooden barrel gradually rises, and when it reaches the top, there is a hook that just hooks the round hole at the bottom of the wooden barrel, simulating pouring water. Not to mention turning the handle to the side, the bucket will move sideways.

Several people involved in the production looked at their hands in shock, never believing that such a delicate thing would come from their hands.

Luo Niuniu was almost about to worship the second sister of death, "sister" and "sister" kept screaming, and followed the ass around endlessly.

"Erya, this is what the book in your dream taught?" Grandpa Luo asked with trembling lips.

"Well", Luo Xiaoqiao said calmly, now we have no conditions, and when we have the conditions, we will do something else.

"Okay, good boy, let's rest early today, and go to the county to have a look, Erya, I'll go with you."

Luo Xiaoqiao nodded, secretly thinking about how to make a move.

In the evening, the family visited the villagers of several villages at the same time. None of them were empty-handed, some carried a handful of vegetables, and some carried a few steamed buns.

"There has always been work in the field, and I didn't bother to come up and take a look, is Xiao Qiao better?" An aunt asked while handing vegetables to Grandma Luo.

Grandma Luo hurriedly waved her hand and excused herself: "No need, you take it back, you come to see Xiao Qiao, it's enough to have this intention." ”

"Auntie, they are all from the Zhuang family, and they are grown at home, and they are not worth much, not bad." The woman said with a smile.

"I heard that Xiao Qiao forgot a lot of things?" A woman with a somewhat lame leg asked.

"Aunt Shi, I hit my head a little, I can't remember much for the time being, but I still know you." Luo Xiaoqiao interjected with a smile.

"This girl, you really know who is good to you."

"It's good, it looks like it's okay, anyway, we're just such a small village, there is no lack of arms or legs, it's better than anything else." Sister-in-law Huang also joked with a smile.

Another eldest lady holding a child also looked at Luo Xiaoqiao and echoed: "Yes, as long as you don't hurt elsewhere, you are a whole person, so you are not afraid." You can keep this little steamed bun and eat it. ”

With that, she put a basket straight into the house.

"How is this good?" Grandma Luo wanted to refuse, Luo Xiaoni's eyes were also red, they had been in this village for so long, if it weren't for these villagers, who helped from time to time, they wouldn't have been able to live a long time ago.

"It's all your own things, and you're not the ones who throw the money, it's still more than a month before the harvest, you collect it first, and then pay us back." Sister-in-law Huang will just stuff the basket into Grandma Luo's hands.

"Stone family,, I won't say anything, I'll take it today, and if you need anything in the future, as long as these five people in our family can do it, don't open your mouth." Grandpa Luo looked at his wife's embarrassed appearance and finally relieved.

"Then the Liu family is not a good thing, she has taken a fancy to your family's eldest Nier, you must think clearly, don't push the child into the fire pit. Such a person will be punished sooner or later. I'm not at home during the day, otherwise I can't let them bully you like this. It can be seen that Sister-in-law Huang is a straightforward person, and when she mentions the Liu family, she is a little angry.

"It's all at this time, what are you doing with them!" Aunt Huang glared at her daughter-in-law, didn't she see that the Luo family's face had changed.

Luo Xiaoqiao is basically a listener, she only listens and doesn't speak, anyway, she is a sick person now, she has lost her soul a little, and her reaction is normal.

"It's just that my mother's family has a concubine who is ordered by the county, and she wants to be a scholar, so she yells that everyone knows what's great." An aunt said very unaccustomed that it seemed that Liu's popularity in the village was quite bad.

……

Then, several women began to talk briefly in the family, and after dropping some small gifts, they all went back in a hurry, the farm was busy, and the men in the family were still waiting to cook.

"These are all people who have helped our Luo family, they will have something to do in the future, remember to help." , Luo Xiaoni told Luo Xiaoqiao decently.

"Got it." Luo Xiaoqiao nodded and agreed.
