Chapter 13: The hat and the straw hat
Gritted his teeth and stood up, before he could take a step, Shi Yiguang walked in with a hat on his head, on such a hot day, with this thing, it seemed to prevent the sun's rays, but it was even hotter.
When he took off his hat, his face was red, covered with fine beads of sweat, and he seemed to be slightly hot.
"I found some wooden piers, just modify them, the sand table you said is more troublesome." As Shi Yiguang spoke, he pulled out the linen cloth from his waist and wiped the sweat from his face.
"On such a hot day, don't you need an umbrella?" Ye Mo asked.
"Umbrella? What is an umbrella? Shi Yiguang's face was full of doubts.
Ye Mo was stunned, there is no umbrella in this period? Hasn't it been invented yet?
The brain memory nerve began to retrieval, according to historical records, the umbrella was an idea thought by the wife of the public loss class, and the public loss class made it, and then carefully calculated, it seems that the public loss class is now a few years older than Shi Yiguang, and it should be seventeen or eighteen.
It seems that according to the current age of the public loss class, he has also reached the age of starting a family, but it seems that it will take a few years before he can make something like an umbrella.
Because according to evidenced records, the originator of this craftsman is working hard with the elders in the family at this time.
Shi Yiguang looked at him quietly in a daze, without interrupting him, he could guess a few points in his heart, and he must have something important in his heart.
She didn't interrupt him, but her only eight-year-old brother Shi Ke dragged a handful of freshly peeled hemp into the room, interrupting Ye Mo's contemplation: "Big brother, look at the new hemp I just peeled off, and weave a shoe for you." ”
Ye Mo came back to his senses, looked at Shi Ke, and Shi Mian, the son of Shi Banyu who followed him closely, stretched out his hand, stroked the top of his head, and said with a smile: "Thank you, little brother, big brother will tell you more stories." As he spoke, he saw the new hemp in his hand, and his heart moved, and he asked, "Is there a lot of this newly peeled hemp?" ”
Shi Ke got Ye Mo's promise to tell the story, nodded very hard, and said, "Big brother wants it, I'll go and get you more." After speaking, he put down his hemp and jumped out of the house.
Shi Yiguang looked at him with a puzzled face, and didn't ask, she believed that Ye Mo must have his reason for doing this, so she watched him pick up a piece of hemp, break it into three strands, and let himself hold it in his hand at one end, and then saw him braiding the three strands of twine into a flat hemp rope with both hands, and kept braiding three before stopping.
He took four pieces of bamboo that were one foot long and more than an inch wide, fixed them on the table in a cross shape, and then picked up the braided flat hemp rope, pressed and coiled them one by one on the cross-shaped bamboo pieces, and when the three pieces of hemp rope were coiled into a circle, they were fixed on the cross bamboo pieces with thin wires.
Holding the upper part with one hand, and the other hand in the center below, he pushed it upward, and a funnel-shaped object was completed, and it was discovered that there was a circle of people in the room, and five or six children all holding freshly peeled hemp in their hands.
Ye Mo looked at Shi Yiguang and said with a smile: "I call this thing a hat, you can also improve it, call it a straw hat, wear it on your head, not only can you protect from the sun, but also prevent light rain, plus two straps, buckled on the chin, it can also prevent it from being blown off by the wind, and if you get it to the county seat in the future, you can exchange it for five dollars." ”
As she spoke, she put this most primitive hat on her head.
Shi Yiguang's eyes were full of shyness, his heart was sweet, his face was red, his head was lowered, his waist was twisted, and he walked out.
Ye Mo couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, and sighed secretly.
It was not only Ye Mo who was sad, but also Shi Ziyi, pouting, grabbing his sleeve, and not speaking, just looking at him with resentment in his eyes.
Ye Mo sighed and said: "That's just one to try, there are still some things that need to be modified, especially the use of materials, the next one is the best, of course it's for you." ”
Zheng Dan hurriedly shouted: "There is still mine, and there is still my ......"
Shi Ke led a group of junior brothers, and also shouted: "What else ......?"
Ye Mo had no choice but to say continuously: "All of them, all of them, all of them, all of them are ,......"
Shi Laohan and Aunt Qi walked out with a smile, Shi Banyu grabbed Shi Ke with one hand, Shi Mian with the other, and led a group of boys to walk out.
Women are skillful and smart, Ye Mo only put forward a few opinions, and Shi Yiguang led many women to make straw hats that were almost close to those of later generations, including comprehensive improvements in production materials and styles.
As for the umbrella, several women can only sigh enviously on the drawings, there is still a long way to go before it is made, because the tools that can make the umbrella have not yet been invented.
These tools are saws, planers, ink fountains, etc., invented by the public transportation class......
......
Moisturizing things silently.
It is most appropriate to describe the changes in Ramie Village with moisturizing things silently.
Most of the eastern and western villages on both sides of the Puyang River have been replaced with new houses, and the remaining few households are also being renovated in an orderly manner.
Behind the earthen building of Ye Mo School, there is the quadrangle house where the women live, divided into five wings and nine main houses in the east and west, and through the main house is just built two rows of ten breeding houses in front and back, on the left is the planned fine iron workshop, and on the right is the planned kiln workshop.
The narrowest section of the river bank of Liangcun is the birthplace of the first stone bridge in history.
The big and small stones were carved out little by little according to Ye Mo's drawings, and it took a lot of bronze tools, and Shi Li, who was heartbroken, stomped his feet straightly, stared dryly and wanted to scold a few words, but he couldn't open his mouth.
Fortunately, seeing the stones neatly stacked on both banks, I felt as if I had a bottom, and after listening to Ye Mo's explanation, I waited for the foundation piles and beams to be built, and then the stones were put on.
The road surface is also clean and smooth, and some sections of the road are paved with a thin layer of gravel, such as Shi Lizheng's house, a section of the road in front of Ye Mo School, which is paved with small stones of similar size.
The stones in the mountains don't cost money, and the sand doesn't cost money, but the school needs the fine sand of the sand table to practice the characters, which is not easy to find, but the fine sand at the bottom of the Puyang River also does not cost money, of course, you can't take sand at the bottom of the river in your own village, you have to go to the far downstream uninhabited place to get it, otherwise it won't damage your own water quality?
Carpentry work, the most basic is also easy to learn, the most important thing in every family is smart, what is missing is only to pierce the layer of window paper, but unfortunately, the paper still needs to be made by Cai Lun more than 400 years later.
Therefore, Ye Mo became this window paper.
There are craftsmen at home, and they all follow what Ye Mo said about the "assembly line", and do what they should do at home, such as "waterwheels", "curved plows", and "looms", and assemble them on the spot in the future.
Anyway, we are a rough person, what does this fairy let us do, let's do it, we can all trust this little offspring like a fairy.
Didn't you see that even Shi Lizheng listened to the words of the little descendant, besides, he also taught the doll in our family to read, knowing what the poor family looks like, and he doesn't need to pay for it from the family, what a kind person this is, this is a big nobleman.
Our ancestors have been digging in the soil for generations, which one dares to think of literacy and hyphenation?
What about the nobles......
