Chapter 153: Waterwheel

"Young master, let's go grab their water source?" Liu Erniu was so happy when he heard this that he licked his lips several times.

Qin Yu glanced at Second Uncle Liu, Second Uncle Liu understood, and Pu Fan's big palm was buzzing in Liu Erniu's brain.

"I said I wanted to master the water, but I didn't want to grab it! Besides, even if you snatch it, will you still be able to bring the water back? ”

Liu Erniu looked at Qin Yu with an angry little daughter-in-law, isn't it a contradiction what the young master said? If you don't grab the water source, will there be water sources to come to the Zhuangzi by yourself?

"Old Uncle Zhong, Second Uncle Liu, is there a carpenter in Zhuangzi who can work with woodwork?"

Old Uncle Zhong and Second Uncle Liu glanced at each other, and probably guessed what Qin Yu wanted to do.

"Big young master, the cost of bringing water from there is too great, and in the end we have to be controlled by others."

The two of them were not optimistic about Qin Yu's idea at all.

It's hard work, and you can't get it well!

"You're only half right! The water will be received, but not from the Zhuangzi next to it, but from the river next to it! If you don't go to the detour, you can pick up water directly from the river, which is closer than going to Zhuangzi to get water, right? ”

Old Uncle Zhong and Second Uncle Liu thought about it in their minds for a moment, but they still persuaded it: "Young Master, the cost of bringing water from the river is too big, right?" Moreover, the water of the river is more than one man higher than the embankment, and the water cannot be drawn. ”

The two of them tactfully told Qin Yu a little basic knowledge, the water only flows low, and will not go high.

That's why I asked if there was a carpenter in the Zhuangzi? What I want to make, I have to let the carpenter do it, and the skills have to be kept strictly secret. ”

As for the waterwheel, Qin Yu had never seen it in Zhuangzi anyway, and he hadn't heard anyone talk about it, so it was obviously a new thing!

It's a cross-generational object!

Qin Yu suddenly raised the level of his words so much, Old Uncle Zhong and Second Uncle Liu felt a little dry in their mouths.

The eldest young master has just taught them the skill of composting, although it is too late to test, but there should be no problem, and now the eldest young master plans to teach the carpenter in Zhuangzi a new craft, look at this posture, I am afraid that once this craft is taught, it will be the foundation of life!

"Young Master, are you..."

"The carpenter you are looking for must be reliable! Otherwise, if there is another leprosy, I will not have the leisure to get angry. Qin Yu directly cut off Uncle Zhong's words, if you want to really plant these fields, the waterwheel is really a must!

"Don't worry, young master! We Zhuangzi absolutely do not have such people! If the eldest young master is not at ease, I will let the carpenter's son and daughter in my Zhuangzi go to the house to give birth to a child. Second Uncle Liu said with a smile on his face, and his eyes were even more provocative towards Old Uncle Zhong a few times.

What happened to Qi Lezi happened here, not in the Zhuangzi on his side, and with this alone, he could prick Lao Zhongtou's lungs!

Old Uncle Zhong's teeth itched, and he couldn't wait to turn around and go back now, and discount Qi Lezi's other arm.

That's too harsh to hear!

Qin Yu also rolled his eyes speechlessly, having a son is not a working position, let alone a good word! The so-called domestic children are the children born to the slaves of large families, and they are slaves of large families as soon as they are born, which is comparable to the lowly existence of goods.

In less than a famine year, who will sell their sons and daughters? Even if a person is sold into slavery and slavery, if he has the slightest ability, he will not want his children to become the children of the family!

"Don't talk about it! Find a suitable person or two, and I'll teach them how to make things when the time comes! Qin Yu didn't pick up this stubble, only asked the two of them to look for a carpenter to come over, and he also needed a little time to think about the general structure of the waterwheel.

It is true that there is only a rough structure, after all, who would have nothing to study what the structure of an ancient waterwheel is?

Qin Yu is not too worried about this somewhat unreliable idea, the structure of the ancient waterwheel looks very simple, he probably made a figure, and the rest of the things, then leave it to the professionals to do!

Isn't that how the rice paper he made came out?

Uncle Zhong and Second Uncle Liu were very concerned about this matter, and they called people over at noon, one of them was wearing shavings, and his forehead was covered with sweat, and he heard that he was called directly from the employer's house.

The two people who were called over were very restrained in the face of Qin Yu, just like two little daughters-in-law.

"I'm going to build a waterwheel for Zhuangzi, and you two will study hard." In the face of these two people, Qin Yu didn't talk nonsense, and directly expressed his thoughts.

"Waterwheel?"

A big question mark popped up in both of their heads, they had never heard of such a thing in carpentry.

Qin Yu didn't wait for the two of them to do anything, and directly took out a drawn drawing.

On the paper is a large disc drawn on all sides, interlaced by sticks, four sticks longer than this large disc, as if to support the large disc.

"This is a waterwheel! Let's take a look and see if you can understand the general structure of the waterwheel from this picture! Qin Yu is like a teacher, directly assigning homework to students.

More than two carpenters stared at the drawings on the paper, and Uncle Zhong also stretched his neck to look at the pictures.

"Young Master, I can't understand it!" One of the carpenters, very shamelessly, said it.

The waterwheel is a thing he hasn't seen before, if he wants to see the real thing, he may still be able to say one, two, three, now look directly at the drawings, what does he know?

"Big young master, these four pillars are to support this big guy! And this big guy is in the middle of these four pillars. The rest of the man thought for a long time before he spoke a little fur.

"You read that right! As the name suggests, the waterwheel is a wooden wheel erected in the water, and the water ring in the middle is used to scoop water! The water ring here is like a dustpan, when placed in the water, when the water flows to these buckets, it drives the entire water ring, and the water in the bucket will be scooped up, and the cycle repeats. ”

Old Uncle Zhong and the others listened to Qin Yu's words, although they couldn't figure out what they meant, but they always had a very powerful feeling!

The carpenter who had just said something about fur, listening to Qin Yu's words, his expression fell into thought, and he faintly grasped something, but he couldn't push open the door in front of him.

"I don't have a model of a waterwheel right now, but I can show you the type of things."

As soon as Qin Yu finished speaking, Shangguan Wan handed Qin Yu a piece of paper that had been cut, as well as a small bamboo branch.

Qin Yu picked up the small bamboo branch, pierced it in the center of the paper, and then threaded the corner of the paper one by one, and the two ordinary things turned into a paper windmill under the gaze of everyone.

Qin Yu opened his mouth and exhaled, and the paper windmill spun around.

"Do you see?" Qin Yu asked the carpenter with a smile that was shining with his eyes.

"Uh-huh!!" The man was too excited to say much, so he could only nod vigorously.

"The most important thing for the waterwheel is the angle of the bucket into the water, the angle is small, the water enters the bucket is not enough, the waterwheel can not be moved, the angle is large, the bucket is too full of water, the waterwheel bearing here can not bear it, it will collapse! When remanufacturing the waterwheel, I recommend using iron rings and iron rods as bearings at the end, it doesn't matter if the initial cost is larger, it is better than the maintenance of the waterwheel in the later stage. ”

"Young Master, I understand!" For this professional field, this carpenter still knows better than Qin Yu.

The carpenter, who was a little slow in progress, also roughly understood what was going on with the waterwheel at this moment, and when he saw Second Uncle Liu's sharp eyes, he could only whisper: "Young Master, if we don't try to make a small one first, even if it doesn't work, we won't waste anything." ”

Qin Yu glanced at him with a smile, and still recognized his suggestion.

"Yes! I don't care what you do! If you need the money, go to the house and find someone to get it when the time comes! I have only one request! You have to get me out of the waterwheel. ”
