One of You Miao's previous drawings was rough, and it was all things from the Ink Classics that he was learning and selling.
"I said you are a family heirloom." Huang Lao Jiang said angrily: "How come you are also a lunatic beetle! Honestly, who gave you this blueprint! Call the person who drew the blueprint to come here!"
You Miao complained bitterly, "Teacher, I really drew it myself! Wait a minute, I'll go get the book to show you."
You Miao went up and ran, and when he came down, he held a stack of books. Huang Lao Jiang turned over the books by the river, pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "Teacher is telling you now, you can remember it clearly. Well, just say it once."
You Miao was sitting beside the old craftsman Huang, and the old craftsmen Huang analyzed the anchor hooks, iron chains, falcon nails, the force of the waterwheel, etc. for him in turn. . Huang Lao Jiang looked at him again and said, "Laugh, you know how to laugh."
You Miao said with a smile: "I have learned it, so laugh, or else how to say Buddha Nianhua, Kasyapa will know and laugh."
"Yeah." Huang Lao Jiang said: "That's the reason. You still have some things to do. I don't think you two will be able to do it."
You Miao was holding the stack of sheepskins. Above it was the dismantling diagram of the entire windmill. There were a hundred and eight water buckets, the wooden frame was divided into five parts, two chains, one hundred and eighty feet, and three feet were one Section, divided into six hundred sections. There is also a big iron hook that hooks the bucket, and there is a runner disassembled into eight small parts in the center. There are also shafts, bearings, balls, four-way arms, eight-way arms and other parts structures. The most complicated is the huge turbine in the middle of the river. This turbine is vertically attached to the cliff and fixed on the water surface. The lower semicircle Soaked in the river, it turned with the rush of the river, driving the four-hundred-zhang hinge, making the bucket rise to the top of the cliff step by step, pouring the water into the canal.
When the flood comes, the river surface will rise with the vertical turbine rising, and most of the hinged waterwheel will be soaked in the water, and the speed will be slowed down. There is a crank handle in the center, which can be adjusted at any time.
Li Zhifeng said, "Do you want to buy iron? I'll go."
The old craftsman Huang said: "You two need to go, and you alone can't tell. You boy, you have to go to Yangzhou first, buy iron, and then send it to the two villages in the north and south, and strike the iron according to the instructions on the picture. "
You Miao snorted, thinking that there are so many troublesome things, not to mention, just buying iron, ordinary people can't buy much. The old craftsman Huang said again: "Take this wooden sign and find Tang Hui from the Department of Defense of Yangzhou Ji..."
You Miao immediately said: "I know him! Friendship is good, he is his own brother."
The old craftsman Huang glanced at You Miao again, and said happily, "That's right, Tang Hui's wooden cart is also looking for my disciples and grandchildren. Since you know him, save the old man's personal feelings and go."
You Miao sighed and wanted to go back to the villa. She wanted to get some money by the way. She only had fifty taels of silver left, and she had to sell something. She thought about how much the craftsmen would pay. Suddenly, she thought of something and said: "Teacher, I have to pay you some wages too..."
The old craftsman Huang waved his hand to signal no need, and said, "On the day when the work is finished, just invite the teacher to have a cup of tea."
"How embarrassing this is..." You Miao hurriedly laughed.
Huang Lao Jiang looked at Jiang Shui, gave a rare smile, and said, "I'm old, and I don't know when I have to see King Yama. I don't lack money. If the old bones do some work, it's just play."
You Miao knew the old man's temper, so he didn't force it, and took Li Zhifeng up the river, thinking about his own money.
Li Zhifeng saw that his face was not very good, so he said, "The money is not enough, is it?"
You Miao snorted and said, "Let's take those boxes of fox furs to Yangzhou to sell first, but unfortunately we didn't sell them a few years ago, otherwise they would still sell for a good price."
Li Zhifeng walked up the mountain with You Miao on his back, and said, "Is there any escort in Jiangnan? I'm going to rob the dart."
You Miao couldn't help laughing and crying: "Don't talk nonsense."
Li Zhifeng made a masked gesture and said, "If you cover your face, the security guard won't recognize me."
You Miao said: "No, it's not really short of money, my mother's tea set can be sold for 200 taels, but I just don't want to sell it. I really can't do it, so I took the tea set to the pawnshop and kept it in the pawnshop, and I will have money in the future. That's it for redemption."
Li Zhifeng nodded, Youmiao was thinking wildly. For a while, he wanted to borrow money from his uncle Qiao Jue, and for a while, he thought of taking the things in Shenyuan as a pawn. When he returned to the villa, he took out the abacus and calculated the wages of the craftsmen. , This work will be done for at least a month, and the wages alone will cost three hundred and sixty taels of silver.
I also need to buy iron, which costs 4,000 catties of iron, 120 taels of silver, and 32 taels of iron work, for a total of 150 taels.
Two hundred bamboos are set up on scaffolding, twenty taels of silver.
More than 500 taels of silver... You Miao counted, holding the 50 taels of silver in his hand, he wanted to cry without tears. After thinking for a while, he rummaged through the box, and turned over the purse that You Hango gave him before he left.
- With a bang, more than a dozen golden clasps were spilled out!
You Miao was taken aback and Li Zhifeng said, "Gold?"
You Miao said: "What's going on? Is the cheap brother so generous?"
This was incredible, You Miao asked Li Zhifeng to close the door, took an iron ruler, and carefully counted the gold on the table, and a few fell out of the cabinet, so Li Zhifeng bent over to pick them up and put them on the table.
One five, ten... fifteen... eighteen.
Eighteen gold coins, You Miao was turning his head to ask for the scale, Li Zhifeng had already put the small scales weighing broken silver on the table, and You Miao weighed them one by one. gold.
"It's intentional." Li Zhifeng said.
You Miao snorted, and rubbed her fingers on the golden scorpion. Seeing that it was written with a hundred years of life, she probably guessed the origin of the gold—it must be that after You Hange was born, when he was celebrating his birthday every year, You Dechuan sent him privately. something people give him. You Hange is eighteen years old this year, and he is exactly eighteen.
You Miao's nose was a little sour, and he couldn't afford to spend the gold he had given him.
You Miao always pays attention to friendship. If others treat him well, he will take ten points in return. You Hange gave him all his savings over the years, but You Miao didn't know what to do for a while. .
You Miao sighed wearily and asked, "How much is one tael of gold to silver now?"
Li Zhifeng said: "Go and ask, I don't know."
After much deliberation, You Miao still carried the gold, left home with Li Zhifeng, and went into Yangzhou City.
