Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 648 The Long Keel (Fifth Watch)

On the drawing paper, at first glance, it looks like a long keel is drawn.

It's like something scribbled on.

However, when Zuo Junmo continued to look down, he saw around the keel.

The expression on his face suddenly changed when he disassembled the dismantled graphic structure step by step.

Raising her head, she looked at Yang Ruoqing inquiringly.

Yang Ruoqing was picking up the tea bowl, and took a sip of the tea.

Signal him to look down.

Zuo Junmo looked back, and then looked at the drawing paper in his hand.

The paper is very large, and many large and small figures are drawn on it.

A layman looks at it, only thinks it is scattered, and doesn't know what it is.

But in the eyes of Zuo Junmo, an insider, his pupils contracted one after another.

Especially seeing the columns of marked text on the side of each graphic.

Although the wording is really ugly.

However, compared to the content of the text, he doesn't care how ugly it is.

In the main room, no one spoke.

They were all waiting for Zuo Junmo to finish reading the paper.

Pairs of eyes fell on Zuo Junmo's face.

The muscles on his face twitched slightly.

The hand holding the drawing paper was also trembling slightly.

It's as if what you hold in your hand is not an ordinary piece of drawing paper, but a life and death verdict.

But the light in his eyes became brighter and hotter.

Old Geng Bo and Luo Fengtang looked at each other, both of them were at a loss.

Yang Ruoqing sipped her tea leisurely.

Zuo Junmo is obsessed with the design of these mechanisms, and is obsessed with the development and improvement of agricultural tools.

Then, he must like the gift she gave him.

On the drawings, she drew the figure of a 'keel car'.

With the wooden board as the groove, it is composed of scrapers one by one.

Using the principle of the sprocket wheel, the big runner drives the small runner to turn over and over again, scraping water and going up to irrigate the fields.

Before the water pump appeared, it was the most common irrigation tool in the vast rural fields.

It can be said that in the Chinese farming society.

Among all kinds of water-absorbing tools, the keel cart is the crystallization of the wisdom of the predecessors.

The most advanced, comprehensive and widely used irrigation tool.

During the half a year she spent in the countryside in her previous life, she observed many of these things.

This will come in handy.

She drew the keel car on the blueprint, and its structural principle was also written clearly.

Although... the words are a bit ugly.

But she writes about the merits of the keel car. , I believe Zuo Junmo, who is an expert, should be able to understand.

Soon, Zuo Junmo's fiery eyes fell on her.

Pointing to the blueprint in his hand, he asked Yang Ruoqing excitedly: "Miss Yang, where did you get this blueprint?"

Yang Ruoqing smiled: "I drew it myself."

"what?"

Zuo Junmo was so startled that he almost slipped off the stool.

This waterwheel that gave him a sense of enlightenment was actually drawn by the little girl in front of him?

"This is called a keel waterwheel. To use it to fetch water, you only need to place the tail in the water."

In order to correct the authenticity of her words, Yang Ruoqing dipped her finger in some tea.

I started to draw lightly on the smooth desktop, explaining while drawing.

"When fetching water, you can row the oars here. You can also step on them, and you can use animal power to drive them..."

Yang Ruoqing draws calmly and speaks neatly.

Zuo Junmo listened carefully, with a look of sudden enlightenment, but also fascinated.

Following her methodical words, his fingers also lightly stroked.

It seems that such a keel waterwheel is being built in my mind.

After her voice fell for a while, he walked out of his own world.

When he looked at Yang Ruoqing again, Zuo Junmo's eyes were not only hot, but also had a trace of fanatical admiration.

"It's Jun Mo's eyes that are clumsy. Miss Yang is a colleague, and her skills are far superior to mine!"

Zuo Junmo stood up, clasped his hands together, and was going to pay respects to Yang Ruoqing with the etiquette of paying respects to seniors among peers.

She quickly stood up and stepped aside.

"I can't bear the big gift from Master Zuo. To be honest with Master Zuo, I'm a layman. I just saw the car you made today, so I drew a keel car because of my feelings!"

Yang Ruoqing said without blushing.

Don't tell a lie and say that I sent it out of feeling, but Zuo Junmo will have to try to find out where she saw it later.

But her answer made Zuo Junmo even more surprised.

It was after he read the letters left by his grandfather and father in their lives.

It took another three months of hard work to make it.

Miss Yang is young, but she can think of such a more advantageous keel car just by looking at the bobbin car.

To be honest, he has a lot of dissatisfaction with the bobbin car he designed.

For example, if the water flow is weak and the wind is insufficient, the bobbin can't rotate to absorb water.

This question has always troubled him.

But at this moment, seeing the keel waterwheel, Zuo Junmo's eyes lit up, and his previous worries disappeared.

He looked at Yang Ruoqing with a complicated expression.

I sigh secretly that her talent in this area is really amazing!

If it weren't for the fact that she was a girl, and men and women could not get along with each other, he would have wanted to keep her as a closed disciple!

It took Zuo Junmo a long time to calm down the shock and excitement in his heart.

At this time, the food and wine came up.

"Come on, let's chat while eating." Zuo Junmo greeted.

Old Geng Bo asked Zuo Junmo: "Manor, why don't you see the old lady?"

Zuo Junmo smiled and said: "My mother is not in the habit of eating supper, she goes to bed before dark."

"Oh." Old Geng Bo didn't ask any more questions.

Zuo Junmo picked up the wine cup in front of him, and walked around with Luo Fengtang.

"I ate the food, drank the wine, and Jun Mo accepted the big gift from Miss Yang."

"Next, Miss Yang, Jun Mo will listen to your intentions!"

Zuo Junmo's face flushed a little, and he said with piercing eyes.

Yang Ruoqing put down her chopsticks and smiled slightly.

"Master Zuo, to tell you the truth, my family and Li Wencai from Li Family Village got into a dispute over the field..."

Next, Yang Ruoqing told Zuo Junmo about the dispute over the land contract in detail.

Not embellishing the matter, speaking from the perspective of a calm bystander.

At the end, she added: "I originally planned to go to the yamen to win justice in this field dispute."

"The real contract is in our hands, and the one in the hands of rich man Li is a forgery."

"The lawsuit can be won, but I'm worried that rich man Li will make small tricks secretly, making it hard for us to guard against."

"I heard people say that the owner of Zuojiazhuang in Huguang County is the only one that Rich Li is afraid of, so we took the liberty to approach him, and hope that the owner can help us!"

She was pleading and sincere.

After finishing what she had to say, she sat quietly aside, waiting for Zuo Junmo's response.

Zuo Junmo has been silent and listening carefully.

When she finished speaking, he picked up the wine cup in front of him and took a sip.
