Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 650 I Listen to the Corner (Part [-])

"Old lady, where are you going?" the servant girl asked anxiously after her.

Old Madam Zuo said: "Keep your voice down, I'll listen to the corner of the wall..."

"Our owner is in the house, Miss Yang please."

The long-term worker led Yang Ruoqing to the door of a room in the backyard, and then left.

The door of the house was ajar, and the windows were closed, so no movement could be seen inside.

But the sound of the planer planing the wood and the hammer hammering the nails could be heard rhythmically from inside.

Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips, stepped forward and opened the door.

The house is big and spacious.

It is full of large and small wood and bamboo.

On the walls, there are all kinds of carpentry tools.

All kinds of furniture and agricultural tools, finished and semi-finished, piled up a lot.

In modern terms, this is the studio of the Zuo Zhuangzhu.

Really...professional!

"Miss Yang, you came just in time, come quickly and help me see this keel waterwheel, but it looks like what you painted?"

Zuo Junmo's voice came over, bringing Yang Ruoqing's thoughts back to reality.

According to the reputation, Zuo Junmo was wearing a short jacket, standing under the wall over there.

Beside him, there is a keel waterwheel about three meters long.

Brand new, smelling of wood and bamboo.

Seeing that the things on the paper she drew suddenly turned into real farm tools, Yang Ruoqing's eyes lit up.

She walked quickly to the side of the keel waterwheel, stroked the polished wooden wheels, and looked at them inch by inch.

The scraper blade is made of bamboo slices, which is light and sharp, and can minimize resistance when scraping water upwards.

Zuo Junmo handled the connection between the big wheel and the small wheel very well.

Not only did he integrate the main points of her drawings, but he also added his own understanding in the handling of certain details.

Some changes have been made to better adapt to the terrain trends in this area.

"How?" He asked expectantly.

After watching everything, Yang Ruoqing gave him a thumbs up without saying anything.

Zuo Junmo stared at the lovely raised thumb, startled.

Then he realized it, and he smiled.

He smiled happily, revealing a mouthful of white and neat teeth.

He patted the keel waterwheel beside him, and said to Yang Ruoqing: "The disadvantage of water absorption by the bobbin cart lies in the water flow and wind speed. If it is weak, it will be difficult to absorb water, and the efficiency is too low."

"With this keel waterwheel, I don't have to worry about irrigating this area in the future!"

"Miss Yang, thank you for giving me such a good drawing!" He said sincerely.

Yang Ruoqing shook her head with a smile: "Master Zuo is very polite, we both benefit from each other."

What a mutual benefit!

Zuo Junmo smiled and said nothing.

Now that she's here, Yang Ruoqing won't be idle.

After inspecting the keel waterwheel, she continued to look around the room.

"Master Zuo is really interested. The carpentry work that he made really shines in my eyes. Would you mind letting me take a look around?"

she asked with a smile.

Zuo Junmo smiled and raised his hand: "Please take a look."

This girl was talking about asking for instructions, but her eyes had already glanced everywhere, everywhere...

With his personal permission, Yang Ruoqing didn't have any scruples anymore, and boldly looked around in the room.

From time to time, I reached out to touch the furniture.

I even opened those drawers and covers curiously to see the design inside...

Zuo Junmo picked up the small hammer in his hand, and then nailed it to the keel waterwheel to stabilize it.

From the corner of his eyes, he saw her every move.

This girl is quite courageous, not timid at all.

Looking at her like that, she seems to know this part very well.

He thought of the last bait she released last night, and was looking forward to the surprise she would bring him next.

"Master Zuo, are these all clothes cabinets?"

Yang Ruoqing's voice reached Zuo Junmo's ears.

He followed the sound and saw her standing beside several overlapping wooden cabinets, tilting her head and asking.

He nodded, pointing to the stacked cabinets.

"After eating rice dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival, cold clothes will be sent high."

"After the Dragon Boat Festival every year, my mother has to pack up the quilts and cold clothes for the winter."

"I need to build some clothes cabinets for storage," he said.

Yang Ruoqing said 'oh', and looked at the large and small wooden cabinets in front of her again.

"This cabinet is made of camphor wood, which is really good at preventing moisture and insects," she said.

"However, with so many large and small cabinets in the room, it seems crowded."

"If you want to get the things in the cabinet at the bottom, you have to move them around, it's a bit cumbersome, what do you think, owner?" She asked again.

Most of the wardrobes in this era are simple rectangular wooden cabinets, supported by a bracket underneath.

For those with better conditions, at most they will have a dressing table, or a double-door cabinet.

Generally speaking, it can't hold many clothes and quilts, but it is still bulky and takes up space.

Of course, most peasant households don't have much clothes or quilts.

A cupboard is not full yet.

Therefore, I don't pursue the style and practicality of the wardrobe.

But Zuo Junmo is different from others, he is an idiot in this respect.

Sure enough, after hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, Zuo Junmo stood up, and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"I can't help it. Isn't that what the clothes cabinets are like? Otherwise, when a girl gets married, the dowry cabinets are all loaded with loads of loads!" He said.

Yang Ruoqing smiled: "Speaking of this wardrobe, I thought of a good idea."

"What's a good idea? Tell me quickly and listen."

Zuo Junmo said anxiously, and he quickly walked to her side.

Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips into a smile, turned around, and pointed to the wall in front of her.

"The main purpose of the wardrobe is to store clothes, and it can save space as much as possible, making the room look neater and fresher," she said.

Zuo Junmo nodded in agreement.

Yang Ruoqing continued to speak.

"We can build a whole wardrobe next to this wall," she said.

"The whole wardrobe?" He was surprised.

She nodded slightly, and took the ink fountain in her hand.

With a little bit of ink on his fingers, he began to draw lightly on a smooth wooden board next to him...

While drawing, he explained to Zuo Junmo.

"The characteristic of the overall wardrobe is that it can store clothes in different categories..."

Next, she shamelessly moved out the design layout of a whole wardrobe that was the most impressive in the past.

Stroke by stroke on the wooden board, draw for Zuo Junmo.

"Inside here are the drawers, and the drawers are specially used for socks and underwear."

"It's best to put thin bamboo or iron bars here, and it's best to put your trousers on."

"Three doors of the cabinet can be pushed and pulled, and can also be bumped into wooden grooves and pulleys..."

Yang Ruoqing spoke carefully and drew meticulously.

Zuo Junmo listened carefully, and while listening, he imagined the prototype of the whole wardrobe in his mind.
