The ancient life of a master craftsman

"Uncle Yun, look, is there anything missing? I'll go shopping in a few days." Li Enbai handed the silver to Old Man Yun, and then counted the betrothal gifts.

He felt that these things were really not many. According to the book, what 48 liters and 64 liters, he had at most one car, and they were all worthless. Thinking about it, I feel a little guilty about Li Zi.

Marriage is a lifelong event for two people, especially here, Yunli's marriage to him means that he will be bound to himself for the rest of his life, if he doesn't treat him better, his whole life will be miserable.Li Enbai is unwilling to do that, he hopes that Yunli will be happy and happy with him.

"These are cloth, I bought three kinds, one is durable linen, the color is darker, one is cotton silk, soft and comfortable, suitable for making clothes for children, and the other is cotton, the color is not very beautiful, but The advantage lies in its large quantity and durability." Li Enbai pointed to the pile of fabrics, which he specially prepared for the Yun family, so as to save Yunli from worrying.

"Here are wagashi. I ordered six baskets. This plate is a sample. I have already tasted the pears, and removed all the ones I don't like. This is..." He introduced the irregular things. One more time, with a final slap, "Oh, yes, a pair of wild geese is needed to get married, but I couldn't find anyone selling wild geese, so I bought a pair of big white geese, do you think so?"

"What?" Old Man Yun was puzzled, "The big white goose is also a bride price?"

In fact, the day when Li Enbai bought the big white geese was still lively. Most people in the village raise chickens and ducks, and few people know how to raise geese, so it was quite novel to see him bring back two huge geese. As a result, the big white geese Very fierce, almost pecked someone.

When old man Yun heard about it, he thought that Li Enbai bought the goose for the eggs, and by the way, to guard the house. He didn't expect it to be a kind of dowry gift, but it was a novelty.

He took Li Enbai's hand, and he got closer, "Linfeng, you don't need to buy so much for the bride price, and our family is not a big family, so you just prepare two bedding, two bolts of cloth, and two boxes of fruit. "

Li Enbai smiled and refused, "I don't think it's enough. It's just once in a lifetime. It should be more grand." In order to get married, he also worked hard. He spent almost all of his money. If the money is gone, he can make it again. The wedding is only once. It cannot be ignored.

It's just a pity that his father and younger brother couldn't see his wedding, and he sighed slightly, wondering if they realized that they had traveled through the wrong time and space, and couldn't go to the original Song Dynasty.

Missing his family made him a little depressed, and he quickly adjusted. Fortunately, old man Yun was shocked by his posture of ruining his family and marrying a wife, so he didn't notice the change in his mood.

"This... getting married is a big event, but you can't spend all your money just to get married. After that, you will have to live. The dowry is about the same." Old man Yun persuaded.

This scene is quite strange, his family Lizi is going to get married, the more dowry, the more dowry, the more face he will have, but as a father, he would rather be similar to everyone, as long as the young couple live a good life in the future.

This is a father's greatest expectation for his child. A safe, smooth, and unhurried life is much more important than a bunch of dowry gifts now.

He is a married child, not a prostitute, and he doesn't want to covet this idea of ​​dowry, so naturally he doesn't need Li Enbai to spend all his money to prepare, as long as he has the heart.

Li Enbai knew what he was thinking, so he didn't refute anymore. Old man Yun is a very simple and soft-hearted person. He has been facing the loess all his life, being down-to-earth, and has never thought of any crooked ways.

After seeing old man Yun away, Li Enbai closed the room where the dowry was placed, and went into his bedroom to continue his research.

He wanted to build a spinning machine. The current spinning is still mainly manual spinning, which takes a lot of time, and the yarns spun are different because of different people, which makes the quality of each piece of cloth different. The quality is different, some are tighter, some are sparser.

What he wants to do is an improved version of the spinning jenny that modern people often say, but he only read it once in a book by chance. Although there are detailed diagrams for each part, because there are many parts, he can no longer complete them. remember.

Fortunately, the system is still there, and he can copy the materials he has read, so that he can study a little bit according to the drawings given by the system.

The spinning machine mainly includes five parts, the hand drive wheel, the vertical spindle, the cylinder, the roving bobbin, and the movable tension bar.

If the ancients did it by themselves, the connection of the tension rods alone would be enough to think about, but Li Enbai is different. For him, making a spinning machine is actually to make the various parts and then assemble them.

And the main reason why he didn't take out the blueprints and let others make the parts for him to assemble was because he liked the rewards given by the system.

Because the spinning machine did not exist in this dynasty, as long as Li Enbai made it himself, it would be an innovative invention, and it would bring huge benefits. The system will reward 10000 experience points.

This is what he discovered after making his folding table, so with this idea, he can make some practical things that are not available now, and get system rewards.

It’s just that the size of the spinning machine is relatively large, and it took him a long time to complete all the parts by himself. He connected the tension rod to each spindle, installed the belt of the drive wheel, and assembled a spinning machine without yarn. alright.

He held the handle of the transmission wheel, shook it slightly, and the whole machine started to run. He made a large machine, which could put down eight or more spindles at a time. According to the data, the spinning volume of a machine in a day should be It is more than 100 times that of pure handwork.

Loading the bought roving, he started spinning for the first time. After hearing a rustling sound, the basket of roving he bought had been spun into fine yarn.

'Congratulations to the host for successfully inventing a new product and obtaining: 10000 experience points Title: Innovative Rookie, please name the new product. 'The sound of the system sounded as he expected.

Li Enbai hooked the corners of his lips, so that all the experience points he had consumed before came back, and there was a little more, no longer making ends meet, "Spinning machine."

'The naming is successful, please sell the spinning machine as soon as possible. 'system hint.

Li Enbai has no plans to sell spinning machines for the time being. He has no suitable candidates yet. This spinning machine is only prepared for making new types of fabrics. By the way, he will increase his experience points. Can the extra time make up 100 million experience points?

But then he couldn't laugh anymore, and even regretted making the spinning machine.

'Because the host has gained a lot of experience, the upgrade task is mandatory. Please complete the task within one month. If you fail, 5000 experience points will be deducted and you will be punished by electric shock for 1 minute. 'The system interface suddenly popped up and unfolded in front of Li Enbai's eyes.

The above is his upgrade task this time, transforming the loom, and the time limit is one month.

What needs to be rebuilt is the common pedal loom. The structure of the current pedal loom is already very complicated, and it needs to be rebuilt on this basis...

Li Enbai took a deep breath, what should I do?The upgrade task is mandatory, that is, it cannot be canceled or replaced, so you can only bite the bullet and do it.

At this moment, he suddenly felt somewhat regretful, did he not use opportunism to make the spinning machine? Now he doesn't have to face such a situation, and he will get married in 20 days!

But no matter what, the task has already started, and he can only hurry up and carry it out. It is best to buy a Jacquard machine to study it.

The people in the village found that they couldn't see the Li family boy recently, and they couldn't see him shopping back with a basket on his back. After being curious for a while, they stopped paying attention. Only those little brothers and girls who were jealous of Yunli were in private. He muttered quietly, but these had nothing to do with Li Enbai, and Yunli wouldn't care if he didn't leave the house.

Huaimu Village returned to its usual calm, and so did the Yun family. Yunli walked on the ground holding her nephew, who had already turned pale, "Aman, be good, sleep well, get fat..."

He coaxed the child to sleep, and after a while, little Aman fell asleep. He put the child on the crib, took the dirty clothes to the yard for washing, and his brother was chopping firewood in a corner of the yard, "Brother, sister-in-law?"

Yunhe nodded, "Sleeping, Doctor Lin's medicine is very effective, Xiao Lian became sleepy after a while after drinking it, and she will recover sooner if she sleeps a little longer. Is Ah Man in trouble?"

"No, Aman is very obedient and hardly cries." Yunli sat on the wooden plinth, washing clothes one by one, while talking softly with Yunhe.

Most of the time, he was talking, and Yunhe was listening, occasionally responding with a few words.Such days are just like before, peaceful and happy, but a little different.

Yunhe became more silent and calm, and he had more things to think about. His wife and children are his treasures, and he has to work hard for them.He looked at his younger brother's smiling face slowly unfolding, and hoped that Li Enbai would treat his younger brother well for the rest of his life.

"Brother, your dowry, my father discussed it with me, and it's all ready for you. Is there anything else you want to add?" Yunhe piled up the chopped firewood, and then went to help Yunli wring out the sheets.

Yunli knows that his father will not lose him, so he doesn't worry about his dowry at all, because the marriage is too tight, he doesn't need to embroider the wedding dress by himself, and he has nothing to do, "No, I just listen to my father."

"Xiao Lian said that my mother didn't leave you any dowry at the bottom of the box. Let me prepare a silver bracelet for you. What kind do you like?" Yunhe has already prepared the silver, and he will buy it after asking Yunli .

But Yunli shook her head and refused, "No need, brother, the ones made by Brother Li are more beautiful than the ones you bought, there is no need, if you have money, save it for your sister-in-law to buy medicine, or save it for Ah Man to study later. "

He thought that Brother Li had just renovated the house, and he heard that his father wanted Brother Li to buy two acres of land. He probably didn't have much money to prepare the dowry. It would be bad if they prepared too much dowry.
