Chapter 184: Drawings of the Iron Plow
The blacksmith's shop was large, and there were four or five blacksmith apprentices striking the iron shirtlessly.
This iron-striking work is not a light one, just look at their sweaty appearance.
Zhang Qian, Li Meina, and Li Meili couldn't help frowning when they saw the environment in the blacksmith shop, with a look of disgust, they stood at the door and were reluctant to go in, as if they were afraid of soiling their clothes.
Zhang Xiaoxue and Lin Baozhu did not have this kind of consciousness, and the two of them walked directly to the blacksmith shop.
There was a man in the blacksmith shop who looked like a master, about 30 years old, with a very burly figure, he saw the contrived appearance of Li Meili, Li Meina, and Zhang Qian, and looked at them indifferently, so he stopped paying attention.
Zhang Xiaoxue ignored the curious gazes of the people in the blacksmith shop, and walked straight to the place where the farm tools were placed to check.
"Boss, how did you sell this hoe?"
Zhang Xiaoxue pointed to a hoe leaning against the wall and asked the master in the blacksmith shop.
After listening to Zhang Xiaoxue's question, the customers who bought things next to them were really shocked, looking at it like this, the little girl came in to buy something.
"The hoe is 200 yuan. ”
The master in the blacksmith shop said to Zhang Xiaoxue.
Hey, the price is the same as in the town, and it seems that this iron is very expensive everywhere, and since it has come in, it has been bought here.
Zhang Xiaoxue needs a relatively large amount of farm tools, this kind of shop, just looking at so many apprentices in the iron, you know that their supply capacity is relatively strong, even if it is now made, it should be able to make the farm tools they need in one day.
Zhang Xiaoxue thought about it, and said to the master in the blacksmith shop, "I want 40 hoes." ”
I didn't expect this little girl to ask for so many hoes as soon as she opened her mouth, it seemed that it was still a big deal, and the master in the blacksmith shop put away his slow mind just now, and walked to them.
"The girl wants so many hoes at a time, our stock is not enough, we need to make another one for you, and it will be delivered tomorrow, do you think this is okay?"
"It'll be fine tomorrow, yes, can you deliver it here?"
Zhang Xiaoxue asked again.
"I'm sorry, it's just a small shop, there are no extra personnel to do the delivery service, you need to pick it up yourself. ”
It turns out that they don't deliver the goods, but it doesn't matter, it's just an extra leg.
In addition to hoes, to open up 100 acres of wasteland, you don't need a hoe, a kind of farm tool, Zhang Xiaoxue began to look at other farm tools.
One of the most conspicuous agricultural tools is the iron plow, which is the largest, but this iron plow is different from the modern plow that Zhang Xiaoxue saw in the countryside when she was a child, it is much simpler and more bulky.
"How much does this iron plow cost?"
Zhang Xiaoxue saw that the iron plow was so large and used more iron, and the price was definitely not low, so she asked.
"The price of the iron pear is two taels of silver. ”
The blacksmith's answer was not what Zhang Xiaoxue expected, and the price was really high, no wonder they didn't even have an iron plow at home, such a high price, with the original family's economic situation, they really couldn't afford it.
If you dig with a hoe when ploughing the ground, it will be really too troublesome, no matter how high the price of this iron plough is, you really have to buy it.
Besides, she has cattle at home, and she also has two mature cattle in her ranch warehouse, and she will also take them out and use them when the time comes, so that in order not to let the three cows be idle, she will have to buy at least three iron plows to be enough.
It's just that Zhang Xiaoxue didn't fancy the appearance of the iron plow at all, such an iron plow, even if it is pulled by an ox to plow the ground, it feels that the efficiency will be pitiful.
The master of the blacksmith shop listened to Zhang Xiaoxue ask about the price of the iron pear, thinking that she had bought so many hoes, and it was estimated that the family would have to open a lot of land, so he waited for Zhang Xiaoxue to open his mouth to buy his iron plow.
It's just that Zhang Xiaoxue was silent there, and the master in the blacksmith shop thought, "Does this girl dislike the high prices sold in their shop?" These are all made of good iron, and he has never falsely reported the price.
"This master, I don't have a match for your iron plow, can you rebuild an iron plough according to the style I provide?"
Zhang Xiaoxue thought for a while, she wanted to draw a drawing according to the appearance of a modern iron plough to see if the blacksmith master of this house could make it.
"Aren't all iron plows like this? There are big and small, but iron plows of this size are the best to use, whether they are pulled by people or oxen, they are the most labor-saving.
What does the pear look like for the girl? You can show me the drawings and I'll decide if I can make it.
And even if the iron pear you want is made, whether it is good or not is none of our business. ”
The blacksmith master said that he didn't think that there was any kind of iron plow that was better than the iron plow he made at home, so he first said the consequences and let Zhang Xiaoxue make his own decision.
"Of course I agree with what this master said, but I don't have drawings with me, I don't know if you have paper and pen in your shop, if you have one, please borrow it from me, I can draw it now." ”
Of course, Zhang Xiaoxue didn't have any drawings, but he definitely wanted to draw them, and he didn't know if they had paper and pens in the store, so he asked.
"There is pen and paper, you wait, I'll get it for you, are you sure you can draw it now?"
The blacksmith master asked uncertainly, the drawings of each tool are not something that can be drawn casually, so the blacksmith master does not trust Zhang Xiaoxue a little.
Zhang Xiaoxue smiled and affirmed that she can draw it now, and now she has the ability to draw comics, and the style she thinks in her head can be drawn at will.
The pen and paper were quickly delivered, Zhang Xiaoxue found a table and spread out the paper, and drew the modern iron plough on the paper as he imagined.
The blacksmith master had been standing beside Zhang Xiaoxue, watching Zhang Xiaoxue paint.
Unexpectedly, this little girl was so good at drawing, and with a few strokes, she sketched a strange-looking iron plough on the paper.
The master blacksmith looked closely at the iron pear drawn on the paper, and the more he looked at it, the more pleased he became, and compared the iron plough with the iron plough made in his shop.
Compared with the iron plough in his shop, the iron plough painted by Zhang Xiaoxue has become much smaller, but it has become much more, from one blade to five blades.
In this way, the area of land that can be plowed out at one time can be increased a lot.
I found that the iron plough painted by Zhang Xiaoxue, if it is built, whether it is a human plow or an ox pulling a plow, it should be easier to pull up.
He didn't seem to be too difficult to make this style, but he didn't think of this kind of iron plough method, and now that he has the drawings, he will definitely be able to create it.
