Chapter 649 The Long Keel
On the drawing paper, at first glance, it looks like there is a long dragon bone drawn on it.
It's like a random doodle.
However, when Zuo Junmo looked down, he saw around the keel.
When the graphic structures were disassembled step by step, the expression on his face suddenly changed.
He raised his head and looked at Yang Ruoqing with inquiring eyes.
Yang Ruoqing picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea.
Indicate him to continue looking down.
Zuo Junmo withdrew his gaze and then looked at the drawing paper in his hand.
The paper is very large, with many large and small figures drawn on it.
When a layman looks at it, he only thinks it is scattered and has no idea what it is.
But in the eyes of Zuo Junmo, an expert, he could see his pupils shrinking one after another.
Especially when I see the columns of labeled text next to each graphic.
Although the writing is really ugly.
However, compared to the content of the text, he doesn't care no matter how ugly it is.
In the hall, no one spoke.
They were all waiting for Zuo Junmo to finish reading the drawing paper.
A pair of eyes fell on Zuo Junmo's face.
The muscles on his face twitched slightly.
The hand holding the drawing paper was also shaking slightly.
It was as if what he held in his hand was not an ordinary piece of drawing paper, but a life and death sentence.
But the divine light in his eyes became brighter and brighter, and hotter and hotter.
Old Uncle Geng and Luo Fengtang looked at each other, both of them were confused.
Yang Ruoqing was sipping her tea leisurely.
Zuo Junmo was obsessed with the design of these mechanisms and devoted himself to developing and improving agricultural tools.
So, he must like this gift she gave him.
On the drawing, she drew the shape of a 'keel car'.
The wooden board is used as a groove and is composed of scraping blades.
Using the sprocket principle, the large runner drives the small runner, turning over and over again, scraping water upward to irrigate the fields.
Before the emergence of water pumps, it was the most common irrigation tool in the vast rural fields.
It can be said that in the Chinese farming society.
Among various water-absorbing tools, the keel cart is a synthesis of the wisdom of previous generations.
The most advanced, comprehensive and widely used irrigation tool.
During the half year she spent in the countryside in her previous life, she observed many of these things.
It came in handy now.
She drew the keel car on the drawing, and its structural principles were also written clearly.
Although... the wording is a bit ugly.
But she wrote about the advantages of the keel car. I believe Zuo Junmo, an expert, can understand it.
Soon, Zuo Junmo's hot eyes fell on her.
He pointed to the drawing in his hand and asked Yang Ruoqing excitedly: "Miss Yang, where did you get this drawing?"
Yang Ruoqing smiled: "I drew it myself."
"ah?"
Zuo Junmo was so shocked that he almost slipped off the stool.
This waterwheel that gave him a sense of enlightenment was actually painted by the little girl in front of him?
"This is called a keel waterwheel. To use it to get water, you only need to put the tail in the water."
In order to verify the authenticity of her words, Yang Ruoqing dipped her finger into some tea.
I started drawing gently on the smooth tabletop, explaining as I was drawing.
"When fetching water, you can use the paddle here. You can also step on it, or you can use animal power to drive it..."
Yang Ruoqing draws calmly and speaks neatly.
Zuo Junmo listened attentively, looking like he was suddenly enlightened but also intoxicated.
Following her methodical words, his fingers also began to make gentle gestures.
It seems that I was building such a keel waterwheel in my mind.
It took a long time after her words fell before he walked out of his own world.
When he looked at Yang Ruoqing again, Zuo Junmo's eyes were not only filled with heat, but also a trace of fanatical admiration.
"It's Jun Mo who has a poor eye. It turns out that Miss Yang is a colleague of mine, and her skills are far superior to mine!"
Zuo Junmo stood up, clasped his hands together, and was about to pay homage to Yang Ruoqing in the same manner as peers would greet their seniors.
She quickly stood up and stepped aside.
"I can't bear the great gift from Master Zuo. To be honest with Master Zuo, I am an amateur. I just saw the cart you made today and I was inspired to draw a keel cart!"
Yang Ruoqing said without blushing.
Instead of lying and saying that it was something he felt, Zuo Junmo would still have to find out where she saw it from.
But her answer made Zuo Junmo even more surprised.
Tuoche came after he read through the notes left by his grandfather and father.
After another three months of hard work, I finally made it.
At such a young age, Miss Yang could think of such a more advantageous keel car just by looking at the barrel car.
To be honest, he had many dissatisfactions with the barrel cart he designed.
For example, if the water flow is weak and the wind force is insufficient, the trolley will not be able to rotate and absorb water.
This problem has always troubled him.
But at this moment, Zuo Junmo's eyes lit up when he saw the keel waterwheel, and his previous worries suddenly disappeared.
He looked at Yang Ruoqing with a complicated expression.
I secretly sigh that her talent in this area is really amazing!
If it weren't for the fact that she was a girl and men and women were not close to each other, he would have wanted to keep her as a closed disciple!
It took Zuo Junmo a long time to calm down the shock and excitement in his heart.
At this time, the food and wine arrived.
"Come, let's chat while eating." Zuo Junmo greeted.
Old Uncle Geng asked Zuo Junmo: "Master, why don't you see the old lady?"
Zuo Junmo said with a smile: "My mother doesn't have the habit of having dinner at night. She goes to bed before dark to rest."
"Oh." Old Uncle Geng stopped asking any more questions.
Zuo Junmo picked up the wine cup in front of him and walked around with Luo Fengtang.
"I ate the food, drank the wine, and Jun Mo accepted the big gift from Miss Yang."
"Next, Miss Yang, Jun Mo is all ears to hear your intentions!"
Zuo Junmo's face was stained with a trace of flushing, and he said with piercing eyes.
Yang Ruoqing put down her chopsticks and smiled slightly.
"Master Zuo, to be honest, my family and Li Wencai from Lijia Village had a dispute over the land..."
Next, Yang Ruoqing told Zuo Junmo the matter of the land contract dispute, completely and in detail.
I did not add any extravagance to this matter, but talked about this matter from the perspective of a calm bystander.
Finally, she added: "In this land dispute, I originally planned to go to the Yamen to win justice."
"The real contract is in our hands, but the copy in Rich Master Li's hands is a forgery."
"The lawsuit can be won, but I'm worried that Mr. Li will secretly do something small and make it difficult for us to guard against it."
"I heard that the owner of Zuojiazhuang in Huguang County is the only one that Rich Man Li is afraid of, so we took the liberty to come to him, hoping that the owner can help us!"
She pleaded with words and her attitude was sincere.
After saying what needed to be said, she sat quietly aside, waiting for Zuo Junmo's response.
Zuo Junmo had been silent and listening attentively.
