Chapter 9 Zhao Quxing falls from the sky
A heavy snow covered the fields, leaving only a white and clean area. Although the weather was cold, the tenants living in the Lijiazhuang villa recently felt like a small stove was burning in their hearts, which was very hot.
There is a saying in the words of adults and children in Lijiazhuang: The newly moved Zhao boy is Wenquxing, and nothing can be difficult for him!
Li Tieniu, half-old Li Ergou family, caused a cold, and her forehead was so hot that she could fry eggs. She was about to die, but she was caught up by Zhao Xing, who was visiting her.
Without saying a word, he ran to the river outside the village to dig a few pieces of ice, put it in a cloth bag and applied it to the iron cow's forehead, and then made a pot of honeysuckle and mung bean juice. He used two wooden sticks to pry open the clattering mouth of the iron cow, and used half of the pig's belly to join a piece of small intestine to pour it into it. The Li family boy woke up overnight.
After Zhang Wangcai's wife became pregnant, she always had stomachache and lie on the bed all day long and dared not move. As a result, when Zhao Xing heard this, she scolded her head and faced him. Then she taught Zhang's wife a way to move her body. She also asked the Zhang's wife to go uphill and downhill for a long time every day. She could not see domestic animals in front of and behind the house, and should also ventilate the doors and windows in winter.
As a result, three months later, the Zhang family's wife gave birth to a fat white boy weighing seven pounds. She was so stupid that she continued the incense of three generations of single-learning. Wangcai was very grateful and climbed up the pole and asked Zhao Xing to name the child. Zhao Daren was also not vague. With a big stroke, the three words "Zhang Zuolin" appeared on the paper.
The villagers asked Zhao Xing to explain his meaning, and he said in a miraculous way: "I guess this child's fate is short of water and wood. In addition, there is drought and rain around our Changzi County, so it is named Zuolin, which means a long drought and a sweet rain." Everyone clapped their hands and said, "Haha, Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Dashang!" after hearing this.
Most of the fields around the Li family courtyard were above the hills, and there was a certain gap from the river ditches. In previous years, when the villagers sowed seeds in winter, they could only carry water from the river embankment down the slope to water the land.
Zhao Xing shook his head, went home and entered his study, used a "hard pen" made of chopsticks and charcoal strips to draw a pattern of a windmill and a keel water wheel. He found a few neighbors who were good at carpenters and worked hard for more than ten days, and a wind-powered and double-use water wheel was erected by the river bank.
The villagers saw the river water being lifted up under the rotation of the windmill, and ran happily along the sloop of the inclined frame to the fields. Their admiration for Zhao Xing became stronger and stronger.
Things like this happen almost every few days. In the end, the villagers in Lijiazhuang all experienced "aesthetic fatigue" and were not surprised by some strange things that Zhao Xing made. This is how the nickname "Zhao Quxing" was obtained.
A classmate who was called "Zhao Quxing" by his fellow villagers accepted this title quite calmly. What did Zhao Xing think in his heart: "If you want to become famous, you need to be early! Zhu Geliang farms in the countryside and calls himself a mysterious person, and it is not an exaggeration to me, Zhao Xing, get the title of god in Shangdang!"
Zhao Quxing, who couldn't rest, gathered Li Jinsi and a few carpenters in his study in the past two days, and gestured at the crowd with a few objects.
Looking at the pictures of several paintings on bamboo sheets (Zhao Xing is still a poor child and can't afford Cai Hou's paper), everyone looked at each other, their eyes full of confused expressions that could make Zhao Xing frantically crazy.
After Zhao Xing's repeated explanations and gestures, several carpenters only realized that the things on the painting were called new furniture. Some were foldable and disassembled round dining tables, some were reclining chairs that could sit on them while dozing off, and some were high and low cabinets that could place clothes and serve as dressing tables for women...
They also heard that as long as they make the real thing according to the drawings, they will definitely be able to sell for a good price.
Nowadays, money can make the enemy beat the enemy. Under Zhao Xing's instigation, a farmer cooperative organization called the "wooden tool research and development team" was born in Lijiazhuang Villa.
Zhao Xing said to himself in his heart: "A little bit of furniture improves the quality of life of the people, and it should not have much impact on the historical process, right? Seeing that others traveled back thousands of years, they could even make airplanes, cannons and steam engines, but I am still in the wood age!"
