All the servants looked at Miss Sui'er holding the cloth in the heavy rain with sympathy, but the princess was overjoyed, put the cloth in another servant girl's hand, and ran to stand under the oil smear As he spoke, his head was also tilted, staring at the change of the cloth for a moment.

This is terrible, how did this girl, Sui'er, provoke the princess, she was punished to be drenched in the rain, and she even went to accompany the princess in the rain?

have to!Let's all squeeze under the cotton cloth, the master can't be in the rain, but the servants are watching in the house...

"Hehe-hehehe-", the voice of "squeaky" laughed out, like pulling a big saw, the princess is a little crazy, right?

"It's useful! It's really useful!" Ah Yuan happily ran back to the warehouse, Sui'er and the others were finally released, and all of them got into the room with their wet bodies.

"How much oil and wax do we have at home? Melt the whole pot, brush it on the cotton cloth, hurry up! If it's not enough, go to the next door, go to Mrs. Lu's house to find it, and let the guards buy it...".Ah Yuan was excited again, she couldn't help it, every time she found a new innovative method, she couldn't control her emotions.

The cook immediately lit up an unused stove, and the big iron pot was brand new, so let's use it first!

The little maids wiped their bodies and hurriedly joined the process of melting the wax. The other half shook off the cloth and spread it on the bluestone floor under the corridor, ready to pour the melted wax on it...

Ah Yuan was not idle either, and continued to walk around frowning to observe the progress of the work. It would be too wasteful to directly pour wax on the ground like this.It's also very hard work.

"Try throwing the whole piece of cloth into a cauldron, and after taking it out, let it cool slightly before stretching it out to dry." A Yuan changed the operation method, and the little maids immediately followed suit.

In this way, the speed has indeed been increased, and the oil and wax are not wasted so much. However, this effect needs to be further tested.

"Sui'er, keep an eye out. I want to make an oilcloth that can withstand rain. If this piece of cloth is successful, then continue to do this. If not, go back to the old stupid way." A Yuan took the difficult task Handed it over to Sui'er, and walked back to the living room on her own, because.At the gate of the courtyard, the blacksmiths and carpenters who the guards were looking for arrived.

Thanks to the current strength, everyone is willing to follow the princess's thoughts. With such a heavy rain pouring down on their heads, there is no one to complain.

Ah Yuan handed over the drawn drawings, and the cook brought out the brown sugar and ginger water that had been boiled.Everyone has to drink, and no one is allowed to fall short.

"This task is very urgent. Do you understand? I want to make a few canopies that can be folded and moved. After the brackets are out, it is enough to put a rainproof cloth on top."

That's right, Ah Yuan didn't think about the safety of his sons in the rain, but concentrated on processing the canopy for the people who built the reservoir, which was foldable and easy to operate.Just like the parasols used by the ice cream stand in the previous life, only bigger.

"Princess, this round one only needs a big pillar, which is easy to make. There is ready-made wood in the workshop, and the small parts next to it are trivial, and it takes a lot of work to intersect. However, if you hurry up, by tomorrow morning, A few finished products can also be produced.” This is guaranteed by the master carpenter who made the big umbrella.

Without further ado, Ah Yuan asked Sui'er to come into the room and report the condition of the wax-soaked cotton cloth. Sure enough, the effect was better than that of the wax-soaked cotton cloth later, and no water dripped on both sides.

"Give this piece of cloth to the woodworking workshop. You can process it. It's best to divide the labor into an assembly line, which is the fastest. Later, I will let people continue to bring you the raincloth."

A Fang dismissed the carpenters, and the master blacksmiths were studying the blueprints in a circle.

"Just follow the size on the drawing of the princess, and I will be responsible for preparing the materials!"

"The rest of the people are responsible for the installation, two for drilling, two for fixing, and two for stretching the rain cloth. Don't be idle, help prepare materials in the early stage, and help with stretching in the later stage."

A Yuan's arrangement was useless at all. Several master blacksmiths had already done a division of labor, and they were waiting for the rain cloth to be completed.

Wax soaking cloth is not like washing it in water. It takes time to dry. The maids who have found experience can already quickly fish out the cloth from the cauldron, and quickly spread it out to dry, and it can be solidified in the blink of an eye.

At this time, the oil wax is relatively thin after melting, and the smell is not good, but it can be quickly combined into one when soaked in the cloth, and it is flat and can well block the rain.

Although the princess's mansion is filled with the strong smell of wax oil at the moment, everyone's heart is full of joy, because knowing what they are doing is very meaningful, and they can help those who dig the reservoir in the heavy rain. People send a blessing.

Ah Yuan didn't arrange for blacksmiths and carpenters to make small umbrellas, but he could arrange for his maids to sew a few raincoats for the remaining cloth.

Don't be too troublesome, burn the kang in advance, and come to do handicrafts together with the maids from Luliu's house next door.

The clothes drawn by the princess are really strange. They are fat and have no waist at all, and they hang down to the ankles in a general straight line, with a big hat on top.

These are not considered weird, what does it mean that the buttonhole is torn from the middle?The people of the Song Dynasty were used to wearing robes and jackets with slanted skirts and skirts, and they really couldn't accept that they were connected in the middle as if they were ripped open.

The only two remaining guards were responsible for polishing the wood chips to make buttons, and had to drill a small round hole in the middle.

There is no need for delicate cutting process, these fat and big sack clothes are so easy to sew, the maids who are used to female workers fly needles and threads without thinking about it at all, and several finished products are considered finished.

The princess really has an idea, and anyone who has questions will ignore it, traditional buttons?It's a joke, it's just a raincoat, why are you being so pretentious?Digging buttonholes, how can you not lock the edges?Haha, the Princess will!

The maids were all dumbfounded, watching the princess cut a hole in the cotton cloth with a "click" of the scissors in his hand, and then threaded the needle and thread, dozens of back and forth, even if the hemming of a buttonhole was completed .

Then lay the clothes flat, align the left and right, draw the position, and sew on the wooden buttons that the guards just polished.

"Go, throw it into the oil wax pot and pass it through, it's like a rain cloth, and then take it back, no, put it on and come back!" A Yuan handed the strange-shaped green cloth robe to Sui'er, and the little girl was unambiguous. , Immediately went away in the rain.

This side has finished sewing two more raincoats, and Sui'er came back with a confused expression on her face: "My lord, this clothes—the clothes are actually dripping water—"

The silly girl was ignorant, and didn't know that there was a big hat that could be put on her head. Her head was still wet, but she was wearing a big robe, and the silk that was sealed with oil and wax didn't hold water, so it would naturally drip down the clothes. It doesn't penetrate at all.

However, the first time I wore this thing, one of the buttons was unscrewed, and the corners of the clothes were wrongly up and down, and the clothes were too bulky, and I suddenly stood at the door, only to see a piece of wrong blue cloth clothes wriggling , It's ridiculous.

"Ha ha ha ha ha--".Yuan finally laughed again.

"Continue to process these two pieces in oil wax, and let's cut some smaller raincoats."

"Good! Let the little masters make a whole body, so you won't be afraid to run in the rain!" The maids also rejoiced. This thing is not beautiful, but it is really useful. From now on, I really won't be afraid of rain.

Ah Yuan also meant the same thing. The reason why she had to figure out the rain gear for herself was also because she was worried that the children would be drenched by the rain.

However, what the children are doing is serious business, mothers can't stop and persuade them, but boys have to experience the wind and rain, and they won't be little girls if they are locked in the house?

It should be said that in the recent period, it is reasonable for Ah Yuan to rely more and more on Sui'er.At the moment, the other maids are happily making small raincoats. She alone cuts a piece of cotton cloth soaked in oil and wax, cuts out a few fat shoes, and gives them to Zhan Pengzhantang and their four little masters. The leather-soled cloth shoes are completely wrapped around, and Song Haohao’s pair of shoes, especially the bag does not leave any traces.

It's fortunate that everyone has leather-soled shoes, Qijiazhuang specializes in this, and it's cheap to use at home. A Yuan found out about Sui'er's behavior, and immediately arranged for a maid to sew a pair of shoes for them, everyone Well, it's really good!

The first to put on the new raincoats were the two guards. Their legs and feet were almost broken. They collected and bought oil and wax, and sent rainproof cloths to the workshop. Now, they have to carry more than a dozen raincoats and rain boots of different sizes, and then turn to the workshop. Escort the awnings and deliver them all to the site where the reservoir was excavated.

Fortunately, even their feet were replaced with new equipment, and the two guards felt warm in their hearts. Before they set off, the cook even made hot noodles for them, and they left the door after drinking their fill.

Naturally, the two guards, dressed like "ghost messengers" who collect souls, still received the warmest welcome, especially when the awning was erected in a place sheltered from the wind, the iron and wooden pillars were fixed, and the rectangular The green and round green cloth is airtight, which is a beautiful world in a rainstorm.

The meals and hot water that were sent are now stored in a place, and the nearby people immediately sent a few wooden stools and bamboo chairs, and the hearts of everyone are warm.

Although it wasn't long before the awning was erected, the heavy rain stopped for halftime and the sky was completely dark, but all the fatigue and discomfort felt that they could be overcome and they could continue digging...

The two guards can't rest, they have to drive the carriage to the next excavation point to deliver the rain shelter and small rain gear. The current rain coats are too few to distribute to everyone. My little master must first Enjoyed.

I have turned half a circle, and the last and farthest reservoir is excavated. I can't see my fingers. The torches in front of the carriage are about to be extinguished by the moisture left by the rain several times. Little masters, I haven't seen it yet. Here we go! (To be continued.
