Splendid Pastoral: The Strong and Hot Wife

Chapter 104 Oil Pressing Equipment

Thinking of this, Qiu Qiming became even more interested in what Xu Xiaomi said.He leaned closer and listened carefully.

"... Everyone sees that the circular gear is so thin, and all three are the same size, it cannot be punched out with a sledgehammer.

This will use this mold.You see, the mold is empty in the middle, which is what the three big gears look like.

After we melt iron into water, pour it into this mold, and then close the iron plates on both sides together.Remember, it must be closed together.After closing, pour water on both sides to let the gears in the mold cool down quickly.

In addition, everyone should pay attention to the two iron plates on the side and the iron plate on the back. There are three thimbles half an inch wide and six inches long in the dark. Pop the gear out of the mold.

Uncle, have you seen clearly?All three gears are poured out like this.There is also this circular cylinder, and these hollow holes are also poured out with a mold. "

I saw that Xu Xiaomi pointed to the two semicircles with many horizontal sticks drawn on the inside, and said: "Everyone, this is the mold for the inverted column..."

Qiu Qiming heard her say this from the outside, and thought: Where did this girl learn this knowledge from?

He, an old general, has lived for decades, but he has never heard of these molds?How could she, a country girl, know so much?
In fact, there is another person who can't figure it out, and that is Qiu Yongzheng. In the eyes of an ancient man, these creations of Xu Xiaomi are rare.

He squeezed in front of Xu Xiaomi to have a look, and pointed to a round solid pillar and asked, "Sister, what is this for?"

"This one is used for tamping when pressing oil, you can see that the teeth of these three gears are connected by this chain.

However, this chain is controlled by this lever. When this set of equipment is completed, as long as there is one person who swings the lever here, the program can be activated.

You see, when the lever is shaken left and right, the chain moves the gear, and the teeth of the gear drive the other two gears to move, and then the big hammer is lifted.

Then it falls into the circular hollowed-out iron barrel below. After the iron barrel has been rammed for a long time, the tung oil will come out, and finally drip into the big basin below. This is the whole process of squeezing tung oil. "

Everyone saw that she put several drawings together and pointed to them for a long time, but when she still didn't understand, someone said, "Oh? It's so complicated!"

Xu Xiaomi looked at them helplessly after hearing this, and thought: Alas!How did I forget that they are all ancients?
So he smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, uncle, you and third uncle choose two people, go to the blacksmith shop in the town, and make these things according to these drawings!

Note that each of these dimensions must be exact, otherwise, it will have to be redone. "

After Xu Xiaomi finished speaking, he raised his head and glanced around. He didn't see the person he was looking for, so he asked, "Why didn't Grandpa come? Where did the old man go?"

The eldest cousin said: "It seems that I have gone to get a wooden ox, and said that I want to go back to Guilin Village."

"Well! Yes! After dinner, there are a few more people to go to Guilin Village to bring back some tung fruit. Let's go! See if the meal is ready?"

Just as Xu Xiaomi got up, Qiu Qiming called to her with a smile and asked, "Girl, you make so many tools, what's the use of squeezing out this barrel of oil?"

Everyone looked at her, and they were all puzzled, but they knew that Xu Xiaomi had never made anything for fun.Therefore, no one has asked, and now that someone has asked them for them, they must listen to it.

So, Xu Xiaomi looked at Qiu Qiming in front of him and explained softly: "Grandpa Qiu, this barrel of oil has many uses.

If we want to use the wooden furniture at home, doors and windows for a long time, and keep the wood from being eaten by insects, we can use it!
In addition, the wood for making vehicles and boats is also used, and it can also be used for lighting...etc.

Anyway, we can only make these now, and we will use it to make other wooden utensils in the future.In short, this barrel of oil is squeezed out, and it is used for antisepsis.

Grandpa Qiu!Do you understand now? "

In fact, Xu Xiaomi wanted to tell him that this barrel of oil was useful for making guns, but he was afraid that everyone would be shocked when he said this.So, just briefly said a few uses.

However, just these few uses also made the people present stare at her dumbfounded.

"Ah! Haha...Girl! I still understand what you said, so I won't delay you, go! Go get busy!"

Qiu Qiming didn't expect that the question he asked made him look very ignorant, his old face turned red!
But I still want to see if what Xu Xiaomi said is really useful for that barrel of oil?
Qiu Yongzheng also wanted to ask Xu Xiaomi if this oil can be cooked and eaten!Grandpa let Xu Xiaomi go!

So, a certain person could only watch as everyone dispersed, and reluctantly, he followed his grandfather back to the room where he slept.

Qiu Yongzheng sat sullenly on the chair in the room, and took out the letter from Feige that he received by the river this morning to read.

The letter reads: All the bandits have been captured, waiting for orders, please give instructions on the next step!
He went for a walk by the river with his grandfather in the morning. In fact, he was going to send the Cambodian from Dingzhou back to the capital.

Qiu Yongzheng thought to himself: Once the bandits are wiped out, they may be told to go to Dingzhou immediately, and he doesn't want to leave yet!He felt that staying here and seeing Xu Xiaomi every day made him happier than winning a battle!
Qiu Qiming noticed the strangeness of his grandson, looked at him and asked, "Zheng'er, what are you thinking? You received good news today, why are you still frowning?"

Qiu Yongzheng was not ready to answer, he hesitated for a while and said: "It's nothing, it's just... ah! Grandpa, are you... are you going back to Beijing with us to return to your life?"

Qiu Qiming saw that he didn't answer the question, and looked at him with those sharp eyes and asked, "Do you not want to go back, kid? Ah! This girl is good, but don't forget about the Qiu family!"

Qiu Yongzheng heard that his grandfather was angry, and hurriedly said: "Grandpa! I... I didn't mean that, I just wanted to ask you if you want to go back to the capital with us. If you come with us, we can take care of you if there are many people! "

Qiu Yongzheng was usually not good at speaking, but now that he was provoked by his grandfather, he became even more nervous when speaking!

He blushed after speaking, and almost choked on his saliva.

Qiu Qiming looked at him again and said: "It's okay, you can go back anyway, I feel pretty good here! You go back, and go back with some of the girl's lime! Do you know how to do it?"

After hearing this, Qiu Yongzheng asked him to sell lime for sister Xiaomi!He smiled and said, "Grandpa, don't worry! Zheng'er knows what to do!"

Qiu Qiming looked at him and smiled and said, "Okay! You have to try to use this lime for all the embankments in Dazhou, so that there will be a lot less flooding in the future.

Also, just to let the girl go home, you know?I think you boy has taken a fancy to other girls.But their strength is too far behind to be your wife.

So, in these few years, you must try to help their family, you know?Not to mention, let someone in their family go to the court to be an official.However, with the cleverness of a girl, it is not a problem to be rich.

alright!It's settled like this, you go back and bring lime to the Ministry of Industry and teach them how to use it. If it doesn't work, let them hurry up and come here to ask the girl for advice!Let's go eat! "

After hearing this, Qiu Yongzheng looked at his grandfather's hesitant expression, but Qiu Qiming pretended he didn't see it, and strode out.

Leaving Qiu Yongzheng alone in the room, Qiu Yongzheng wanted to ask, would this cause Xu Xiaomi unnecessary trouble?After all, this girl is only nine years old.

If there are people who are obsessed with interests in the court, then how can the girl afford to suffer?However, grandpa said so, as a son of a dutiful son, how can he refute it?

So, I had no choice but to go out to eat sullenly!

After dinner, Xu Xiaomi's grandfather took his second uncle and fourth uncle to drive the wooden cow to his home in Guilin Village.

For the rest of the family, those who should build a house should build a house, and those who should ram the ground should ram the ground.

Xu Xiaomi watered all the saplings and flowers that were loaded yesterday.Take out some dried honeysuckle and boil water with wild chrysanthemums.

When the medicinal herbs are all rotten, the water and medicine are filtered out with a bamboo dustpan, and some sugar is added to continue to boil. When they can't be stirred with a spoon, they are scooped up and placed in a rough clay pot to cool.

Xu Hao, who was practicing calligraphy in the room, smelled the smell of medicine in the sweet fragrance, ran out to look, and saw Xu Xiaomi walking towards the courtyard with a clay pot in his arms.

Quickly asked: "Sister, what is this?"

Xu Xiaomi ran and put the pot on the ground and replied, "It's toothpaste!"

Xu Hao looked at it and asked, "What is toothpaste? I've never heard of it!"

Seeing his curious baby, Xu Xiaomi replied with a smile, "It's just for cleaning teeth!"

After hearing this, Xu Hao half-understood and walked over to have a look, and touched it with his finger. Before Xu Xiaomi could cry out, he withdrew his hand so hot.

"Ah! Ho... hiss... ho..." Xu Hao was so hot that he quickly brought his hand to his mouth and blew.

Xu Xiaomi hurriedly grabbed his hand and whirled to help him while asking, "Whoo! Who told you to be good at it, you brat? Show me!"

Xu Hao looked at his nervous sister, quickly withdrew his burned hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay!"

"Don't hide, go to the well, I'll give you ice water!" Seeing him withdrawing his hand, Xu Xiaomi thought it must be very hot, and stretched out his hand to hold his arm, and said.

Helplessly, Xu Hao was dragged to the well to fetch water and wash his hands. Xu Xiaomi made sure that his brother's hands were fine before letting him go.

After the contents of the pot had cooled down, Xu Xiaomi packed it in the wooden box her grandfather made for her and put it away!
The toothpaste that Xu Xiaomi has been longing for since she came here finally came out, and she planned a copy for everyone!
At lunch time, the three of them came back with the wooden ox and brought back eight baskets of tung fruit.
