Chapter 648 I Listen to the Corner (Second Update)
"Old madam, where are you going?" the maid asked anxiously following behind.
Old Madam Zuo said: "Keep your voice down, I'll listen to the corner..."
"Our village owner is in the house, Miss Yang please."
Changeling He led Yang Ruoqing to the door of a room in the backyard and left.
The door of the house was ajar and the windows were closed, so nothing could be seen inside.
But the sound of planing wood and hammer driving nails came out very rhythmically from inside.
Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips, stepped forward and opened the door.
The house is very big and spacious.
It is filled with large and small wood and bamboo.
Various carpentry tools are hung on the walls.
There are many kinds of furniture and agricultural tools, finished products and semi-finished products, piled up.
In modern terms, this is the studio of Master Zuo.
It’s really... professional!
"Miss Yang, you are here just in time. Come over and help me take a look at this keel waterwheel, but is it like the one you painted?"
Zuo Junmo's voice came over, bringing Yang Ruoqing's thoughts back to reality.
Looking around, Zuo Junmo was standing under the wall wearing short clothes.
Beside him, there was a keel waterwheel about three meters long.
Brand new, exuding the fragrance of wood and bamboo chips.
When Yang Ruoqing saw that the things on her drawing paper suddenly turned into real farm tools, Yang Ruoqing's eyes brightened.
She quickly came to the keel waterwheel, caressed the polished wooden wheel, and looked at it carefully inch by inch.
The scraping blade is made of bamboo slices. It is thin but sharp. The upward movement of the scraping water can minimize the resistance.
Zuo Junmo handled the connection between the big wheel and the small wheel very well.
Not only did he incorporate the key points from her drawings, but he also added his own understanding to the processing of certain details.
Some changes have been made to better adapt to the terrain trend in this area.
"How is it?" he asked expectantly.
After Yang Ruoqing read everything, she didn’t say anything and gave him a thumbs up.
Zuo Junmo looked at the cute thumbs up and was startled.
Then understanding came to him and he smiled.
Smile happily, showing a pair of white and neat teeth.
He patted the keel waterwheel beside him and said to Yang Ruoqing: "The disadvantage of the waterwheel in absorbing water is the water flow and wind speed. If it is weak, it will be difficult to absorb the water and the efficiency is too low."
"Yes. This keel waterwheel will irrigate this area no longer."
"Miss Yang, thank you for giving me such a good drawing!" He said with a sincere face.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and shook her head: "Master Zuo, you're welcome, we are mutually beneficial."
What a mutual benefit!
Zuo Junmo smiled and said nothing.
Now that she is here, Yang Ruoqing will not be idle.
After inspecting the keel waterwheel, she continued to look around the room.
"Master Zuo is really interested. The carpentry work made my eyes light up. Do you mind letting me take a look?"
She asked with a smile.
Zuo Junmo raised his hand with a smile: "Please take a look at it as you like."
The girl was asking for instructions, but her eyes had already been looking everywhere...
< br>With his personal permission, Yang Ruoqing no longer had any scruples and boldly looked around in the room.
From time to time, I stretched out my hand to touch the furniture.
I even opened the drawers and lids out of curiosity to see the designs inside...
Zuo Junmo picked up the small hammer in his hand and then nailed the keel of the waterwheel to stabilize it.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught her every move. This girl is quite courageous and not timid at all.
Looking at her, she seems to know a lot about this.
He thought again 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 looked around and saw her standing beside several overlapping wooden cabinets, tilting her head and asking.
He nodded and pointed to the cabinets stacked together.
“After eating Dragon Boat Festival rice dumplings, I gave you warm clothes.”
"Every year after the Dragon Boat Festival, my mother has to pack up the quilts and cold clothes for the winter."
"I have 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.
“This cabinet is made of camphor wood, which is really good at preventing moisture and insects,” she said.
“However, so many large and small cabinets are placed in the room, which makes it seem crowded.”
"If you want to take the things in the cabinet below, 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 were simple rectangular wooden cabinets with a bracket underneath.
For homes with better conditions, the most they can do is have a dressing table or a double-door cabinet.
Generally speaking, it can’t hold many clothes and quilts, but it is still very bulky and takes up space.
Of course, most farmers don’t have any clothes or quilts.
One cupboard is not full.
So I don’t care much about the style and practicality of the clothes cabinet.
But Zuo Junmo is different from others, he is an idiot in this regard.
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 clothes cabinets are like? Otherwise, why would a girl get married and have several loads of dowry cabinets?" he said.
Yang Ruoqing smiled: "Speaking of this clothes cabinet, I thought of a good idea."
"What good idea? Tell me quickly."
Zuo Junmo said urgently He said, quickly walking to her side.
Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled, turned around and pointed at the wall in front of her.
“The main purpose of a wardrobe is to store clothes and save space to the maximum extent, making the house look tidier and fresher,” she said.
Zuo Junmo nodded in agreement.
Yang Ruoqing continued.
“We can build a complete wardrobe next to this wall.” She said.
"Full wardrobe?" He was surprised.
She nodded slightly and took the ink fountain in her hand.
My fingers were dipped in some ink, and I started to draw lightly on a smooth wooden board next to me...
While I was drawing, I was explaining to Zuo Junmo.
“The characteristic of the overall wardrobe is that it can store clothes in categories...”
Next, she shamefully put the design layout of the overall wardrobe that impressed her most in the past. Picture, moved out.
Write one stroke at a time on the wooden board and show it to Zuo Junmo.
"Here is a drawer, which is specially used to store socks and underwear."
"It is best to use thin bamboo or iron bars to store pants."
"Three openings The cabinet door can be pushed and pulled, or it can hit the wooden trough and pulley underneath..."
Yang Ruoqing spoke carefully and painted meticulously.
Zuo Junmo listened carefully, and while listening, he had already imagined the prototype of the entire wardrobe in his mind.
