Beloved Plantation King

Ji Yuebai quickly changed his clothes and came out, holding a piece of paper in his hand: "Here, this is for you."

"What is it?" Zuo An took it and opened it to see that it was a blueprint, "This is?"

"Threshing machine, used for threshing rice." Ji Yuebai explained.

Zuo An was shocked: "You still know this?"

"Well, it's a trivial matter." Ji Yuebai proudly raised his head.

Zuo An asked suspiciously, "Didn't you study plant ecology? Still studying this?"

Ji Yuebai smiled and said: "This is not a professional study. Didn't I often go to the deep mountains and old forests to collect specimens and observe plant ecological communities before the end of the world? At that time, I often borrowed from the local fellows. You don't know, Those rural villages in the deep mountains are still very backward, and there is no harvester for harvesting. They use this kind of threshing machine for threshing millet, and they don’t even have that kind of diesel threshing machine. Yes, it was very laborious. At that time, I thought they worked so hard and couldn’t make much money.”

Zuo An carefully looked at the picture below, and found that the roller was driven to rotate at a high speed by stepping on the pedal, and then the grain was stirred to achieve the purpose of threshing.This is faster and less labor-intensive than the way they can only shake the rice bed by hand.

He said happily: "This was a farm tool that was going to be eliminated in the previous life, but now it is the most advanced farm tool!"

Ji Yuebai nodded and said: "That's right, I just thought of this when I saw the hands shaking it here. I wanted to get it for you last year, but I didn't study this thing in detail at that time, I just remembered it." It took me a while to draw it out and get the dimensions right. I just finished this a few days ago."

Zuo An happily patted Ji Yuebai's shoulder, and said excitedly: "You've helped a lot! Go, go talk to Pei Nan, let him find someone to do it."

When the two returned to the main house, they found that Yin Peinan was not there, only the Quanfu couple and Zhao Xiu'e were chatting.

Zuo An: "Aniang, where's Pei Nan?"

Zhao Xiu'e replied while she was doing needlework: "Da Qiang came to see him just now, and the two of them went to the garden to talk.

"Uncle Daqiang? Is there something wrong?"

"He didn't say anything, I'll find out later when I ask Ah Nan."

After a while, Yin Peinan and Uncle Daqiang came out of the garden, and Uncle Daqiang left alone.Yin Peinan stood by the garden gate for a while, wondering what to think, and then saw Zuo An and the others walking towards the main house.

Zuo An and Ji Yuebai also walked that way and ran into each other at the corner.

Zuo An asked Yin Peinan: "Pei Nan, is Uncle Daqiang here?"

Yin Peinan nodded, didn't shy away from Ji Yuebai, and said directly: "He said that they just went to weed at the foot of the mountain and saw someone running away in a panic from our melon patch."

"Melon field? Are you going to steal melons?" Zuo An asked.

Yin Peinan nodded and said, "It should be."

Zuo An frowned and asked, "Then did you see who it was?"

Yin Peinan shook his head: "The man seemed to see Uncle Daqiang and the others, so he ran to the other side. Uncle Daqiang and the others only saw a figure from the back, which was a man."

Ji Yuebai said: "It's not surprising, there are things like stealing sheep anywhere, especially this watermelon has never been available here before, so someone will definitely steal it. But, isn't it unripe?"

Yin Peinan said: "It's not familiar yet, so we wanted to talk about it for a few days before guarding. Who knew someone would steal it now."

Ji Yuebai said: "Maybe it's not the first time, it's better to go and guard it early, it's a pity to be picked before it's ripe."

Yin Peinan nodded and said: "Well, when you get married tomorrow, we will go to build a shed the day after tomorrow."

After deciding on this matter, Zuo An remembered their purpose of looking for Yin Peinan, then excitedly raised the blueprint in his hand, and said: "Pei Nan, Brother Bai brought us something good, take a look."

"What good thing?" Seeing that Zuo An was so excited, Yin Peinan was also a little curious, took it and looked at it.

etc.

Seeing this, I was stunned.

"This is a threshing machine?"

Yin Peinan could still recognize the threshing machine, but it was not of this type. He had seen the threshing machine powered by a diesel engine before.He also thought about getting a threshing machine before, but because he had never seen such a pedal, and he couldn't get a diesel engine, there was no diesel in this world, so he had to give up.

Now, the drawing in my hand does not require a diesel engine or diesel. It can be fully realized by using the function of the gears to drive the rollers of the threshing machine.

Zuo An nodded happily: "It's a threshing machine. With this, we can harvest faster and save effort."

Ji Yuebai was a little surprised, and asked Yin Peinan: "You know? Isn't your family from the city? Have you seen this before?"

Yin Peinan nodded and said, "I've seen it used by farmers in rural areas on the road before. It's the kind with an engine."

Ji Yuebai: "Oh, so that's how it is. This one doesn't use an engine, and it can't be done now. It still needs manpower."

"Understood, but this one is very good." Yin Peinan looked at the blueprint, and the specific dimensions of each accessory were marked on the side, his eyes sparkled, and he asked Ji Yuebai: "Have you tried it?"

Ji Yuebai rolled his eyes and said, "It's a good idea. I just finished the blueprint a few days ago. I've verified the data on it, and it's roughly correct. You can look it up when you find someone else to do it. If it's not right, Adjust again."

Yin Peinan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll find someone to do it right away. The summer harvest won't be able to catch up. I'll try to get it out before the autumn harvest. The carpentry part and the gears have to be done separately. I'll go find Uncle Da Shan to do the carpentry part first."

Yin Peinan happily took the blueprint and was about to go out, Zuo An quickly grabbed him and said, "Wait, Pei Nan, make two copies of the blueprint first."

"Oh, good."

They went to the study again and made two copies of the drawings, one for carpentry and one for blacksmithing.

Leaving the original at home, Yin Peinan took the carpentry drawings and went to the home of Hu Dashan, a carpenter in the village.

Zuo An and Ji Yuebai didn't go, the sun was shining right now, they went back to the main room to cool off, and chatted with Zhao Xiu'e and the others.

After Zuo An became pregnant, his body temperature was higher than normal. In this weather, he would only feel hotter.

Seeing him coming in, Zhao Xiu'e quickly stopped what she was doing and handed him a fan, "Come and sit down, are you sweating in this hot weather?"

Zuo An sat next to Zhao Xiu'e, and Zhao Xiu'e fanned him to cool him down, and asked with concern: "Are you sweating on your back? Are the clothes inside not wet? If it gets wet, change it, otherwise wearing wet clothes is easy to catch cold. "

Zuo An shook his head: "A little bit, it's okay."

Ji Yuebai smiled and sat down on another stool, and then saw the little bellyband in the sewing basket on the table, and said pleasantly, "Is this the baby's little bellyband? Auntie, you are really good at sewing, look at how fine the stitches are. "

Zhao Xiu'e smiled and said, "Brother Bai's mouth is really sweet. This little bellyband is worn close to the body. It needs to be thinner, otherwise the baby will be uncomfortable."

"Yes, yes, the baby's skin is delicate, so you have to take good care of it." Ji Yuebai nodded, holding the little bellyband to look over and over again, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

He asked again: "Calculating, the baby will not be born until the end of November, so you have to prepare a lot of clothes?"

Zhao Xiu'e said: "Isn't that right? You have to prepare the inside and outside clothes, cotton-padded trousers, hats and quilts. And it's winter, and it's hard to dry the clothes after washing. You have to prepare many sets, otherwise you don't have to change them." Trouble."

"Auntie, the baby is really happy to have you as a grandma." Ji Yuebai sighed.

Zhao Xiu'e smiled and said, "This is what should be done. Your Uncle Wen Yi and Shui Zhu are also doing it. The three of you can do it quickly."

Ji Yuebai glanced sideways at Zuo An, leaned closer and asked in a low voice: "An An, you are the baby's father, don't you want to make one yourself?"

Zuo An's face was a little hot, he lowered his head and whispered in embarrassment: "I don't know how to do needlework."

"Learn, haven't I been studying for a long time?" Ji Yuebai understood,

He casually flipped through the sewing basket, and suddenly he found a small piece of cloth, which looked like a triangular top, but the stitches on it were long and short, and crooked, even worse than what he sewed. ugly.

He asked curiously, "What is this?"

Zuo An looked up and immediately reached out to grab it.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Ji Yuebai raised his hand and dodged it.Seeing Zuo An's embarrassment, he came to his senses, jumped away suddenly, looked at that crooked little thing, and burst out laughing.

"Hahahahaha, this, this, could it be you who did it?"

The other people in the main room didn't know what he was laughing at, but they all looked at them curiously.

Zuo An's face was blushing, he stretched out his hand, and said, "I just said I can't. Pay me back quickly."

Zhao Xiu'e watched from the side without saying a word, just watched with a smile.

Ji Yuebai held it and studied it for a while, but he really didn't understand what he was doing, so he sat back and asked, "Hey, what are you going to do?"

Zuo An snatched it over and said, "...socks."

Ji Yuebai: "..."

Ji Yuebai rubbed his nose and said, "Socks are more difficult, you can make something simpler."

Anyway, they were laughed at, and Zuo An fortunately let go.He said: "This is the simplest. I don't even know how to wear clothes, trousers, hats and bellybands."

Ji Yuebai thought for a while, and said, "There are some."

Zuo An's heart moved slightly: "What?"

Ji Yuebai whispered: "...a bib."

Zuo An: "..."

Ji Yuebai: "This is the easiest, just sew a circle around the edge. Look at this sock, what if the seam is a little narrower and the baby's little feet are squeezed? The bib is different, as long as the edge is As long as you don’t go offline, it will not affect the use. Isn’t it very simple?”

Zuo An thought for a while, and finally shook his head.

Ji Yuebai glared at him: "What?"

Zuo An whispered to him: "Put the bib outside, so others will see it. If you wear socks on your feet, it's ugly. Anyway, there are cotton socks and blankets outside, so others can't see it."

"..." Ji Yuebai gave him a thumbs up speechlessly: "You won."
