Chapter 651

"Old madam, where are you going?" the maid asked anxiously, following behind.

Mrs. Zuo said: "Keep your voice down, I'll listen to the corner..."

"Our village owner is in the house, Miss Yang please come."

The long-term worker led Yang Ruoqing to the door of a room in the backyard and left.

The door of the house was ajar and the windows were closed, so nothing could be seen inside.

But the sound of planes slicing wood and hammers driving nails came out very rhythmically from inside.

Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips, walked forward and opened the door.

The house is large and spacious.

It is filled with large and small wood and bamboo.

Various carpentry tools are hung on the walls.

There are many kinds of furniture and agricultural tools, finished and semi-finished, piled up.

In modern terms, this is the studio of Master Zuo.

It’s really... professional!

"Miss Yang, you're here just in time. Come over and help me take a look at this keel waterwheel. But is it like the one you drew?"

Zuo Junmo's voice came over, bringing Yang Ruoqing's thoughts back to reality.

Following the sound, Zuo Junmo was standing under the wall over there, wearing short clothes.

Next to him, there was a keel waterwheel about three meters long.

Brand new, exuding the fragrance of wood and bamboo chips.

Yang Ruoqing's eyes brightened when she saw that the things on her drawing paper suddenly turned into real farm tools.

She quickly came to the keel waterwheel, caressed the polished wooden wheel, and looked at it carefully inch by inch.

The scraper blade is made of bamboo chips, which is thin but sharp. The upward movement of the scraper can minimize resistance.

Zuo Junmo handled the connection between the big wheel and the small wheel very well.

Not only did he incorporate the key points from her drawings, but he also added his own understanding to the processing of certain details.

Some changes have been made to better adapt to the terrain trends in this area.

"How?" he asked expectantly.

After Yang Ruoqing read everything, she didn't say anything and gave him a thumbs up.

Zuo Junmo looked at the cute thumbs up and was startled for a moment.

Then realization came over and he smiled.

Smiling happily, showing a mouth of white and neat teeth.

He patted the keel waterwheel next to him and said to Yang Ruoqing: "The disadvantage of the waterwheel in absorbing water is the water flow and wind speed. If it is weak, it will be difficult to absorb the water, and the efficiency is too low."

"With this keel waterwheel, we no longer have to worry about irrigating this area!"

"Miss Yang, thank you for giving me such a good drawing!" He said with a sincere face.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and shook her head: "Master Zuo, you're welcome. We are mutually beneficial."

What a mutual benefit!

Zuo Junmo smiled and said nothing.

Now that she is here, Yang Ruoqing will not be idle.

After inspecting the keel waterwheel, she continued to look around the room.

"Master Zuo is really interested. The carpentry work impressed me. Do you mind letting me take a look?"

she asked with a smile.

Zuo Junmo smiled and raised his hand: "Please take a look at it as you like."

This girl was asking for instructions, but her eyes had already been looking everywhere...

After receiving his personal permission, Yang Ruoqing no longer had any scruples and boldly took a look in the room.

From time to time he reached out and touched the furniture.

I even curiously opened the drawers and lids to see the designs inside...

Zuo Junmo picked up the small hammer in his hand and then nailed the keel of the waterwheel to stabilize it.

From the corner of his eye, he caught her every move.

This girl is quite courageous and not timid at all.

Looking at her like that, she seems to know a lot about this.

He thought again of the last bait she released last night, and was looking forward to the surprise she would bring him next.

"Master Zuo, are these all clothes cabinets?"

Yang Ruoqing's voice reached Zuo Junmo's ears.

He looked around and saw her standing beside several overlapping wooden cabinets, tilting her head and asking.

He nodded and pointed to the cabinets stacked together.

"After eating Dragon Boat Festival rice dumplings, I gave you warm clothes."

"Every year after the Dragon Boat Festival, my mother would pack up the quilts and cold clothes for the winter."

"I have to build some clothes cabinets for storage," he said.

Yang Ruoqing said "Oh" and looked at the large and small wooden cabinets in front of her.

"This cabinet is made of camphor wood, which is really good at preventing moisture and insects," she said.

"However, there are so many cabinets of various sizes placed in the room, which makes it seem crowded."

"If you want to take the things in the cabinet below, you have to move them around. It's a bit cumbersome. What do you think, owner?" she asked again.

Most of the wardrobes in this era were simple rectangular wooden cabinets with a bracket underneath.

Houses with better conditions can only get a dressing table or a double-door cabinet at most.

Overall, it can't hold many clothes and quilts, but it's still very bulky and takes up space.

Of course, most villagers don't have any clothes or quilts.

One cupboard is not full.

Therefore, I don’t care much about the style and practicality of the clothes cabinet.

But Zuo Junmo is different from others, he is an idiot in this regard.

Sure enough, after hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, Zuo Junmo stood up and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"I can't help it, isn't that what clothes cabinets are like? Otherwise, why would a girl get married and have several loads of dowry cabinets?" he said.

Yang Ruoqing smiled: "Speaking of this clothes cabinet, I have a good idea."

"What's a good idea? Come and tell me."

Zuo Junmo said urgently, quickly walking to her side.

Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled, turned around and pointed at the wall in front of her.

"The main purpose of a wardrobe is to store clothes and save space to the maximum extent, making the house look tidier and fresher," she said.

Zuo Junmo nodded in agreement.

Yang Ruoqing continued.

"We can build a complete wardrobe next to this wall," she said.

"Full wardrobe?" He was surprised.

She nodded slightly and took the ink fountain in her hand.

With a little ink on his finger, he drew lightly on a smooth wooden board next to him...

While painting, I explained to Zuo Junmo.

"The characteristic of the overall wardrobe is that it can store clothes in categories..."

Next, she shamefully moved out the design layout of a wardrobe that had impressed her most in the past.

Draw one stroke at a time on the wooden board and show it to Zuo Junmo.

"There are drawers inside, and the drawers are specially used to store socks and underwear."

"If you hit thin bamboo or iron bars here, it would be best to put your pants on."

"The three-open cabinet door can be pushed and pulled, or you can hit the wooden trough and pulley underneath..."

Yang Ruoqing speaks carefully and draws meticulously.
