Chapter 294: Big Eaters
Next, Lu Songli and the others became busy and planned and prepared for the main businesses run by the Chen, Zhu and Lu families that were in chaos.
She was preparing to use lunch when Manager Ye came to report the good news.
"You said you made it out by stepping on the threshing machine?"
"Yes."
Lu Songli thought about it and decided to go and take a look. She mainly wanted to see the progress of the woodblock printing that Lu Mingzhi and the others were developing.
When Lu Songli arrived at Sijinyuan in the North District, he first went to Zhou Congguang's yard, where he saw Lu Mingzhi who came to visit him.
Lu Songli looked at him and thought to himself that the reason why the woodblock printing has not been progressed has been found. Is this guy Lu Mingzhi learning how to slut, right?
"Senior Brother Zhou, did you get the threshing machine so quickly?"
Zhou Congguang said reservedly, "What I made this morning is not a very difficult thing."
Lu Songli looked around the entire yard and saw that the yard was filled with various materials and various strange-shaped parts made of different materials. A big guy was placed in the middle, "Is that right?"
"Yes."
Lu Songli went forward to check. The threshing machine consists of five parts: a wooden barrel, a pedal, a gear, a bearing and a rolling center. The wooden barrel can be disassembled.
This foot threshing machine is mainly made of wood and iron. The bearings and gears must be made of iron so that they can be durable and thresh the rice.
She even tried to step on it. She used this thing when she helped her family harvest rice when she was a child.
As soon as she stepped on her feet, she began to stomp rhythmically, and her heart began to roll.
After stepping on it for a while, she stopped satisfied. The handmade master is different. This threshing machine is exactly the same as in later generations. This thing can be used when the autumn harvest is over.
Moreover, this thing has a market in the south, and it is very useful when it comes to double grabs. She wanted to sell it at a high price for the first batch, so the target customers were tentatively designated as large, medium and small landlords.
Lu Songli washed her hands and was about to care about Zhou Congguang's work and life. For example, are you used to living in Houcheng? If you have any ideas, you can try it boldly...
Then Lu Songli found that when Zhou Congguang was talking to her, he was obviously absent-minded, and his eyes were occasionally aimed at his own homemade operating table.
Lu Songli decided to end the conversation quickly, "Senior Brother Zhou, please contact Manager Ye if you have any needs. Manager Ye will solve it for him. If Manager Ye cannot solve it, our Liaodong County Magistrate's Office will also help you solve it. Don't be polite."
Hearing this, he knew that the conversation was about to end, and Zhou Congguang was obviously cheering up, "Yeah."
"Then we'll leave first."
"Then you go slowly."
Lu Songli was about to go to her brother's place to take a look. She said to Lu Mingzhi beside her, "Let's go, go to your side."
Zhou Congguang stopped Lu Mingzhi, "Junior Brother Lu, wait a moment."
"Senior Brother Zhou, what's the matter?"
Zhou Congguang glanced at Lu Songli next to Lu Mingzhi, looking hesitant.
Lu Songli understood, smiled and said to Lu Mingzhi, "I'll wait for you in front of you."
When only he and Lu Mingzhi were left in the yard, Zhou Congguang said bitterly, "Junior Brother Lu, can you tell our second sister that if she has something to do, just ask someone to give her instructions. I will definitely try my best.
Make it for her, and then, don't come over?"
After saying this, Zhou Congguang explained again, "Don't get me wrong. I have no objection to my second sister. But I don't want to be distracted when I work. When she comes, I have to talk with you. It's too late.
”
Lu Mingzhi was speechless. His second sister cared about his work and life, but his second sister valued him. You should know that his second sister was also very busy. But he also knew that Senior Brother Zhou was like this and was too addicted to his own world.
"Okay, I will tell my second sister."
"Junior Brother Lu, please trouble you. You must talk about this matter." Zhou Congguang reminded that the second sister of the Lu family is now his parents of food and clothing, so she cannot offend her.
"Don't worry."
After Lu Mingzhi went out, he told Lu Songli about the matter.
After hearing this, Lu Songli knew that she was disturbing others. She laughed and said, "Okay, just follow what he said."
She likes Zhou Congguang so much. She is a scientific research expert who is a man of her own.
After finishing the topic about Zhou Congguang, Lu Songli asked Lu Mingzhi, "Has the woodblock printing been made?"
Lu Mingzhi's expression was very strange.
Lu Songli felt that it was not worth it for the three masters and apprentices to have not been able to get it out for so long.
Lu Mingzhi showed a proud and helpless expression, "Second sister, you will know when you go and take a look."
Lu Songli was very curious, and she followed Lu Mingzhi into his yard.
In the yard, Master Zhan and Wei Wenqian were holding carving knives and engraving letters on a square wooden block the size of two thumbs.
There are still some carved movable type on their feet.
When Lu Songli saw this, he was shocked. Are they going to do movable type printing?
"Second sister, we have already made the printing of the woodblock you mentioned. But Senior Brother Wei thinks that if you want to print a book like this, the engraving is very slow, not only labor-intensive, but also no typos will be done.
Easy to correct.”
If it is modified, the entire version needs to be re-carved. In the words of Senior Brother Wei, this is how it is done. The sculptor can carve all his hands.
Lu Songli didn't say anything, of course she knew the shortcomings of woodblock printing.
She originally wanted to print the woodblock first, let them make some transitions first, and then make movable type printing. However, she didn't expect that they were so powerful, so she learned from it and directly printed movable type printing for her!
Add chicken legs, you must add chicken legs to them!
Master Zhan also stopped the carving knife at this time, and he said to Lu Songli, "Look, isn't it better for us to do this than the woodblock printing you made?"
Lu Songli praised without hesitation, "Master Zhan, Senior Brother Wei, Mingzhi, you are so amazing. Not only can you learn from one example and improve the project, making the whole printing flexible and simple, but you can also carve it. It's really versatile."
When Master Zhan heard this, his mouth bent, his beard curled up, and his eyes were proud. That's right, they knew a lot of things.
"If you are fine, don't talk to us and disturb us. Look, this word is wrongly engraved."
Lu Songli held back her laughter, took a little back, and said, "Okay, okay, I just admire you so much, so I can't help but say so much. I really couldn't imagine what else you can't do."
So, hurry up and use all your 18th Class martial arts to contribute to the construction of Liaodong County.
Hearing these words praising them, Master Zhan and Wei Wenqian couldn't help but feel happy.
The most important thing is that these words are equivalent to Lu Songli's recognition of them. She is a very capable person, and her recognition is very important.
"And Master Zhan, you are so good at teaching students. Senior Brother Zhou, Senior Brother Wei and Ming Zhi I have met are all very outstanding. I wonder if the other senior brothers are all outstanding?"
Zhan Ruoshui rarely said reservedly, "They are OK."
"I really want to see their style."
"See you just want to see me, what's the difficulty? Wait until I go and write them!"
Lu Songli hurriedly said, "Then our Houcheng will sweep the bed to greet us."
Seeing that his master was fooled by his second sister, he couldn't help but cover his eyes. Master, you are careless, do you know if you have fallen into a trap?
