The husband is the future chief [infrastructure]

After Jiang Ziyan drew the flail, he picked it up to have a look, then got up and went to the inner room, put on a coat, went out, walked to the door and said, "Feng Ke, come with me to the smithy."

Feng Ke nodded and followed with his sword in his arms. For all Jiang Ziyan's decisions, he never asked the reason.

He has not forgotten what Jiang Langjun said about the probationary period, and during the two months with him, basically every day is very relaxed, and it is a trivial matter for him to occasionally take action to teach someone, the most important thing is He felt that Jiang Langjun was generous and an excellent master.

Seeing that Jiang Ziyan was going out at this hour, Lin Zhao said, "Brother, don't be in such a hurry, we will have dinner soon, why don't we go tomorrow. Or just ask Feng Ke to send the drawings over, why bother running away?" This trip, it’s still hot outside, you’re so afraid of the heat, be careful you’ll be sweating profusely when you come back.”

Jiang Ziyan didn't realize at all that Lin Zhao, who was always quiet and quiet in front of others, had become more talkative in front of him.

Jiang Ziyan shook his head and said: "It's okay, the big deal is to come back and take a shower. There are some materials and details on this drawing. I have to go and tell the craftsman in person. If I make it clear today, he can start to do it tomorrow. One day after it is made, the farmers on the farm can use it one day earlier, and they can save some effort at that time."

"My brother is kind."

Feng Ke accompanied Jiang Ziyan to the craftsman's shop. The craftsmen who opened this shop were ancestral crafts. Unlike masons, most of the crafts of carpenters rely on the technique of tenon and tenon. Therefore, people who know this craft are very good. Before papermaking Some of the tools used in the workshop were also brought here by Jiang Ziyan after drawing the drawings.

The craftsman's surname is Zhang, and everyone calls him Zhang Laosan because he is the third in the family.

Jiang Ziyan is also an acquaintance of this shop. In fact, he doesn't come here many times, but every time he comes, he can bring blueprints with strange ideas. What do craftsmen like most?Nature is a unique idea.So every time Zhang Laosan saw that he had new drawings, he was very enthusiastic.

Today is no exception.When Jiang Ziyan arrived, Zhang Laosan was sawing wood in the courtyard of the shop.

Seeing Jiang Ziyan approaching, he quickly stopped what he was doing and came up to him, "Jiang Langjun, why are you here at this time? Did you draw some new blueprints? Hurry up, show me."

Jiang Ziyan smiled, "Don't worry, don't worry, I did draw a new thing and need your help to type it out, but I'm afraid you won't be able to do it in some places."

When Zhang Laosan heard this, he was unhappy, "I can't do anything, please show me the blueprint."

In fact, it’s not surprising that Jiang Ziyan would say this. In fact, he was also a little worried, because it was written in the middle of the binding place that it was tied with a rubber band. stable.

But there is no rubber band in this era, so he wondered if he could replace it with mortise and tenon technology.

Jiang Ziyan took out the drawings from his sleeve and spread them out on the long wooden table in the yard. Zhang Laosan was a little curious when he saw this long and strange-shaped thing. In the past, he made things for Jiang Ziyan according to the drawings, although he had never seen them before. However, they are still well-formed structures, but they have used some ingenuity to play different roles.But this time the things painted on it are made of bamboo and wooden sticks, and tied with various styles of ropes.

"Jiang Langjun, what are you painting?"

Jiang Ziyan said: "This thing is called a flail, and it is used to thresh wheat."

"Threshing wheat? Is it to help hull the wheat?"

"Yes, today I saw that the tenants on the Zhuangzi used stone mills, and stone mills are labor-intensive and slow to move, so I thought about this when I came back and read books. Master Zhang, take a look Can this be done?"

Zhang Laosan looked at the blueprint carefully, and after he understood it, he couldn't help admiring, "Wonderful, this thing is easy to use by leveraging strength, and it is hundreds of times lighter than a stone mill. The people are not so happy."

"Don't talk about them first, can you do it first?"

Zhang Laosan raised his brows and joked, he has been in this business for 30 to [-] years, yet his ability was questioned.

"Don't worry, just leave it to me."

Zhang Laosan looked at the drawing with his eyes shining. This is a very challenging thing for him. If something is made, he will have a huge sense of accomplishment and happiness in his soul, so he agreed very much. decisive.

Jiang Ziyan was also relieved to see him like this, and then began to discuss with him the details of several places.

"Look at this place. When this place is baked with fire, you must pay attention to the heat and the flexibility of the bamboo. If it is too rigid, it will not work, and if it is too soft, it will easily break. And here, can this place be fixed with tenon and tenon joints... ..."

The two of them were so absorbed in their conversation that it was past dinner time before they knew it, and it was already dark when Jiang Ziyan came out of the carpenter's shop.

When he left, he confessed: "Master Zhang, please make this thing as soon as possible, the price is not a problem."

"Understood, you are a distinguished guest with me, I will jump in the queue for you, how about it, are you satisfied?"

"In that case, thank you, Master Zhang."

Zhang Laosan waved his hand, "You're welcome, you're welcome, if this thing is useful, then...forget it, let's talk about it then."

Jiang Ziyan guessed what he wanted to say, and the two of them tacitly agreed to discuss it next time.

After coming out of the carpenter's shop, Jiang Ziyan went straight home.

It's past dinner time now, and the two of them didn't feel anything when they were discussing just now, but now that they came out, they felt hungry instantly.

In summer, the daytime is scorching hot and the night is sultry. Occasionally there is a cool breeze, accompanied by the chirping of cicadas on the trees, which makes people feel more relaxed.

Jiang Ziyan was walking on the road, followed by Feng Ke, who happened to be fine, he chatted, "Feng Ke, how did you feel during the past two months by my side? Are you still used to it?"

Feng Ke was a little surprised by his employer's sudden concern, and then panicked.

what happened?Why did Lang Jun suddenly ask if he is still used to it?Could it be that Mr. Lang was dissatisfied with his actions in the past two months?Or has he said something wrong recently?
