Chapter 760 Chapter 760: Mohist Disciple (middle) [Requesting Monthly Ticket]
Hearing that the other party said that he could handle the money, Lin Feng did not interfere much, but repeatedly reminded the other party of things to pay attention to: "I am next door. If you need anything, you can come to me, but you can’t run around by yourself to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.”
The lady smiled brightly and waved her little hands.
“Yeah, yeah, I understand, thank you.”
Because Luan Xin went on a business trip with the army to fight, Lin Feng, as the household cao of Longwu County, currently also serves as the household cao of the Four Treasures County. Various official matters. No matter how idle this department is, it cannot handle the workload of X2. Lin Feng had to work in the government office during the day, and he had to burn the midnight oil at night to process the official documents that were rushed from the Hucao government office in Longwu County. These are things that ordinary officials cannot make decisions about.
She had just sat down and read two books when a sneaky black shadow appeared outside the door. He was pacing back and forth outside the door, stepping on his feet and stretching his neck from time to time. Lin Feng didn't even raise his head and said: "It's more exposed outside, what's wrong with Bei Nujun?"
The black shadow outside the room scratched his head, and his voice was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry to bother you, Lin Can you please rest?"
Lin Feng said: "Not yet, come in."
After saying that, the door creaked and was pushed open from the outside.
When Nujun saw the letters piled high on Lin Feng’s desk, she opened her mouth in surprise and pointed at the letters: "These are all what you want to see? Really - so amazing ! ”
Lin Feng just covered up the book and put it down: "Is something wrong?"
Perhaps it was Lin Feng's aura that was too intimidating, or maybe it was the pile of letters that frightened her. She sat down at the table with a little embarrassment, a pair of full The cocooned hands grasped the coarse cloth on her knees and said in a low voice: "Is there any cotton here, Nujun?"
Lin Feng said: "I don't have any here."
Nujun's emotional eyes It can be seen that it is lost.
"However, I can have some sent over." Lin Feng raised her hand and made a gesture, and the words on her fingertips surged, turning into an exquisite blue bird. The blue bird stood on her finger and fluttered. He flapped his wings and flew out along the gap in the window. "You can just go back to your room and wait. The department official will deliver it to you later. If you have any other needs, please let me know."
The female monarch was so shocked by Lin Feng's operation that she forgot to close her mouth. She could stuff a few quail eggs into her open mouth.
Lin Feng smiled and was about to speak to bring the female monarch back to her senses. Unexpectedly, the female monarch was so frightened that she jumped on the spot and said, "Yes, yes, I'm sorry - Mr. Lin, I am very It was a deliberate admission of mistake. It’s just that Lin Langjun was born too beautiful.”
She really didn’t expect that there was someone more beautiful than Yun Yuanmou in the world! After all, Yun Yuanmou still has the physique of an adult male. No matter how good-looking his face is, it still has some masculine edges, but Lin Langjun in front of him really can't tell it!
I called him Nujun, but he still recognized me without explaining.
Lin Feng: "..."
Inexplicably, she could suddenly understand the subtle emotions of her lord being misunderstood. But Lin Feng did not deliberately explain, but the smile in his eyes was a little more cunning, and he accepted the queen's apology generously: "You are the first to say that I was born beautiful."
Who doesn't like this? What about being praised by outsiders?
Because the lord and teacher Zhuyu are in front of him, Lin Feng always lacks confidence in his appearance. The female gentleman waved her hands hurriedly and tried hard to explain: "No, no, no, husband, please don't say that!"
Lin Feng looks more like a daughter than himself. If "he" is not good-looking, Aren’t you as ugly as salt?
The female monarch had just calmed down when she suddenly remembered something in her mind. A thin layer of pink appeared on her cheeks, and she hurriedly got up and returned to her room. Although she was used to being informal, it was still too bold for a man and a woman to be alone in the same room at this time.
I am afraid that taking a step too late will ruin Lin Feng’s reputation.
Looking at Nujun's back as if she was running away, Lin Feng couldn't help but chuckle. She regained her composure and continued to burn the midnight oil.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door next door.
The night duty official who received the message from Blue Bird brought a wooden box.
Said: "This is the cotton that the queen asked for."
The queen hurriedly thanked and took the wooden box, and then asked the official in a low voice: "Excuse me... is there a bathing place in the backyard of the government office?"
Department official: "No, but we can bring hot water."
"Then - can you help me find a few more logs?"
The official smiled and said: "Of course you can."
Linhu Cao warned that he should try his best to meet the needs of this lady. Although the official didn't know why, she only asked for a bucket of hot water and a few logs, which was easier than the official expected.
As soon as the official left, the lady closed the door and opened the box. There was a box of cotton that had not yet been seeded. She picked up the plump piece of cotton, which was white and plump and felt quite comfortable in her hands. She muttered: "This is cotton? It doesn't look good...it doesn't look like a flower, but more like a cloud..."
Why not call it "cotton cloud"?
The Sibao County government office is also interesting. For such a thing, they spent a lot of money and offered a reward of fifty taels! When she thought about this amount, her eyes lit up and her mouth watered. That's fifty taels of silver, not fifty copper coins! It will take her a long time!
When she saw the notice earlier, she thought how difficult it would be, and was mentally prepared to fight to the death with Fifty Liang.
The first time she saw cotton, she had an idea.
“Hey, isn’t this just free money?”
The lady tossed the ball of cotton up and down, full of confidence.
In less than a minute of tea, several servants came over with hot water, and soon the bathtub was filled to 60%, and seven or eight logs were also brought. Each one is as thick as her thigh! The wood is hard and delicate, white all over, and not a single insect hole can be seen.
The lady took a hot bath comfortably, then put on clean pajamas, and tied her long hair behind her head with two wooden chopsticks.
She opened the wooden box she was carrying.
It is filled with all kinds of carpentry tools, including chisels, planes, saws, rulers, shovels, long wires, ink fountains of different sizes, and even a very small and exquisite planing table. This wooden box weighs no less than a hundred pounds!
The lady crossed her hands and stretched, and her knuckles crackled: "Try to finish it tonight and receive the reward tomorrow!"
Three times and five divided by two, the saw is of the right length. wood.
Because she was worried that others would steal her job and take the bounty first, the female monarch did not intend to elaborate and make a good first handover. She pieced together the nearly polished wood into a "door" shape using a mortise and tenon structure, and then made two logs with the same diameter as rotating shafts. The two rotating shafts were closely connected and combined with the previous "door" to form the general shape of a "latch" .
The two pivots are longer than the wooden frame.
The ends of the two rotating shafts are processed to create a gear-like structure, and a handle is added to the other end of one of the rotating shafts.
After doing this, the lady took out the cotton in the wooden box and adjusted the distance between the two rotating shafts according to the size of the cotton seeds.
Next, just put the cotton without lint between the two rotating shafts, turn the rotating shaft handle, and the two rotating shafts will rotate in opposite directions with the gears. And because the gap between the rotating shafts is very small, the rolled cotton will automatically separate the cotton wadding and cotton seeds.
Nvjun is debugging while using it.
After a while, the ground was covered with cotton seeds.
She put cotton wool and cotton seeds in two boxes.
It was already late at night, so the lady couldn’t knock on the door next door, so she stretched out and climbed onto the bed, rolled up the quilt on her body, and within a few breaths, she heard the sound of her sleeping soundly. snore. I slept until the sunlight streamed into the house along the window sill.
The female queen woke up to the sound of swords and swords. She lifted the quilt and carefully opened the window.
That Mr. Lin is dancing his sword in the court.
She looked at it for a while before lowering the window.
When the queen came out dressed, Lin Feng just put away his sword.
"But the noise is too loud to disturb Bei Nujun?"
Nvjun shook her head: "No, no." Lin Feng led her to the government canteen for a meal. The food lined up one after another made her eyes go straight. Lin Feng said: "Just tell the cook what you want to eat. It's all free here, so you don't have to hold yourself back. Open up."
The female monarch asked for some of each item.
Result——
Looking at the food on Lin Feng's plate, she muttered: "The appetite of a literary scholar is no less than that of a courageous warrior..."
Lin Feng alone ate as much as she could eat in a whole day.
But soon she no longer had the energy to pay attention to this.
Because the food in the Hucao government canteen is so delicious! Compared with these, what I ate before was not human food at all. The female monarch only focused on cooking.
For a long time, she burped several times in succession.
"Hiccup--hiccup--"
With a gentle smile on his lips, Lin Feng stood up and brought her a bowl of hot soup, and said in a warm voice: "Drink some. ”
“Lin Langjun is such a good person!”
She took it movedly and drank it in one gulp.
After finishing the morning meal, it was time for Lin Feng to go on duty. The female queen waved her hands and said, "You are busy, you are busy, I also have something to do."
She hurried to the backyard to take care of herself. Holding the small cotton remover in his arms, he ran non-stop to the door of the government office. When he saw that the reward notice on the notice board was still there, he breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to take it off. When he saw someone taking down the notice, the department official hurriedly stepped forward and asked respectfully: "The lady wants to present farm tools?"
She smiled and said, "Yes!"
The department official looked at her With the simple things in her arms, she murmured suspicion in her heart, but she didn't show it. Instead, she led her to see the boss of Hucao - Hucao Linfeng. It was the first time for the female monarch to see a high-ranking official at this level, and she felt a little uneasy.
When she saw the person, she was dumbfounded.
Exclaimed: "Lin Langjun? Are you Hu Caobo?"
Lin Feng smiled softly: "Well, it's me. I just heard from the department official that you took off the notice at the door of the government office. , I'm still there I am curious about who can solve the urgent need. I never thought that the thing in Nujun’s arms is the one you want to hand over.”
Because they are acquaintances, Bei Nujun is nervous. Sweep away.
She said confidently: "Yes, this is it."
At the same time, reveal the separated cotton wool and cotton seeds.
"Can I trouble you to demonstrate it with your own hands?"
"Okay, it's easy!"
Lin Feng raised his hand, and the department official went to move it with great discernment. Get a box of cotton. Because this cotton stripping machine is very compact, Lin Feng and she could only sit on the ground during the demonstration. She watched for a moment as the cotton wool and cotton seeds were separated very easily under the rotation of the doffer's shaft. The more Lin Feng looked at it, the brighter his eyes became, and he was so excited that he clapped his hands in praise.
“The lady is wise and thoughtful, this thing is a real artifact!”
Lin Feng's praise made Nujun a little shy, and she said humbly: "I can't do it, I can't do it. This thing is too simple."
It was so simple that she could make it when she was three or four years old.
She was somewhat embarrassed to exchange such a simple thing for fifty taels of silver, and always felt that she deserved it.
Because of this "guilt", she whispered: "Because time is tight, the things are made crudely. If Lin Hucao is willing to wait and give me another day, I can improve it some more. It's just that ——Only one is enough?”
Lin Feng shook his head: “Of course one is not enough.”
This simple cotton remover, the more the merrier.
The most important thing is——
Lin Feng looked at the doffing machine and said: "It is too small."
"The size is not a problem, but if it is made larger , it is more laborious to rotate the shaft, and I have to change it to make it more labor-saving. "Quantity is not a problem.
This small toy with a simple structure can be made by any experienced craftsman, and it is very easy to imitate.
Even so, Lin Feng still felt like he had found a treasure.
Raise your hand and ask the department official to bring you the reward money.
The female monarch used a lot of self-control to prevent herself from getting into Qian's eyes and making a joke. Lin Feng seemed not to notice her little expression and asked enthusiastically: "Last night I heard that the lady came to Xiaocheng to look for the foundry master. Do you know where this person lives?"
"This... I don't know. , I only know that person’s surname is ‘Bai’.” Xiaocheng is so big, it’s not easy to find someone.
Nujun is most worried that the other party is not in Xiaocheng.
If so, wouldn't my trip be in vain?
Lin Feng's expression was distorted for a moment, as if he didn't expect such a coincidence, but it also played into her hands: "As far as I know, the surname 'Bai' is not common. But I happen to know someone. The surname is Bai. This person’s surname is Bai Su and his given name is Shaoxuan. He happens to also be able to do some exercise. He's probably the one you're looking for."
Nvjun's eyes lit up: "Where is the master?"
Lin Feng said with a smile, "Unfortunately, he went out to fight."
Nvjun: “???”
The answer was beyond her imagination.
"Master, Master, went out to fight? When will he come back?"
In other words, can he come back alive?
"I don't know the specific time..." Lin Feng estimated the intelligence on the front line in his mind and said with a smile, "But it should be soon."
Nv Jun patted her chest and said happily: "Then Just fine.”
She didn't want to make the trip in vain.
"If you don't have a place to stay, you might as well stay in the government office. When Shaoxuan returns home, I can introduce you to you as soon as possible." Lin Feng took advantage of the situation and invited the queen.
The latter agreed without much thought.
The food in the government canteen is really delicious.
“Then—I’m going to bother you!”
Thinking that he would be able to eat it for a while, his mood became brighter, and his favorability towards Lin Feng increased even more.
Lin Feng continued to make insinuations: "Young lady solved the problem that has troubled us for many days in just one night. It is really awesome and admirable. I wonder if it is a secret skill passed down from family or a famous teacher? If it is convenient, , I really want to come to ask for advice.”
When the female gentleman saw Lin Feng taking his matter seriously, she felt puzzled.
A gadget I made casually, is it really that good?
He said: "It can be regarded as the inheritance of the master, but my teacher has passed away for many years, and I am the only successor in the master."

My brain has been hurting for two days, and the antigen has arrived. The good news is that there is no positive, but the bad news is that it is not healed yet. I suspect it is caused by the air conditioner. The worse news is that there are several people in the community group who are suffering from yang... Damn it.
