I went ashore by weaving straw shoes and became a master craftsman

Chapter 68 Eight ships and not afraid of leakage
At the time of Meng Dong, it was dark and early, and the farmers would turn off the stove after supper, and go back to their houses, wrapping up their bedding and going to sleep.

Wang Yun became more and more sensible. Knowing that Wang Geyi had cold feet, she crawled to the end of her bed and helped her warm her feet before going into the back room.The two sisters and younger brothers were lying on each side, Wang Ge had one foot bent, kicking the soles of his feet with his younger brother from time to time, but still didn't think about making something to give to County Magistrate Huan.

She is a craftsman. In her previous life, all her energy was spent on learning wood carving, bamboo weaving, and straw weaving. She was not familiar with astronomy and geography, let alone agriculture and increasing food production.Even if you know a little about the principles of making things that are advanced in this era, you dare not mention them casually in the ancient times when the aristocratic clans were rampant.

For example, the general principle of drying sea salt, she has never even seen the sea, dare to mention this aspect, she is purely looking for death.

For example, the "straight shaft plow" used by farmers has many shortcomings. You can add plows and plow walls to change the straightness into a straight one.Although Wang Ge did not know the complete and specific structure of the "Quyuanli" of later generations, as long as he put forward the idea of ​​Liping and Libi, a smart craftsman would be able to change the Zhiyuanli into Quyuanli.But can this kind of idea be proposed by a ten-year-old peasant girl?After mentioning it, does the credit go to the officials in the hometown, or to her?

Even the method of making bean sprouts, she can't mention it for now!The new beans produced by the family every year, in addition to paying rent, must be sold to the bean shop to exchange for the old beans of the next year.Chen bean sprouts bean sprouts, regardless of whether the gain outweighs the loss, let’s say soak the beans first, then find a place that is not transparent for a few days, and keep pouring water, right?If she wanted to do that, she wouldn't be beaten up by the big mother, but would be troubled by the little Jia.

Therefore, the utensils of advanced principles are not unmanufacturable, there must be a reason.

"Sister," Wang An arched over from the bed, "Sister, tell me about the big boat? Is it really much bigger than the fishing boat of Uncle Yu in our village?"

"Yes. It can hold several Yubo's boats."

"Wow, isn't that as big as our yard?"

"I was far away at the time, and I really don't know how long and wide it is."

"But..." Wang Yun felt that the following words meant cursing other people's fishing boats, so she whispered in Wang Ge's ear so as not to feel guilty: "I heard that Yubo's boat is always leaking, fix the bow and the stern. .What should I do if the big boat is leaking? Will it be towed ashore in time?"

What if the big ship leaks water?
Where did you hear this before?Wang Ge's face was slowly filled with joy, he leaned against brother's little head, and boasted: "Tiger head, you are my sister's lucky star. I have an idea, but you have to help me figure it out together."

"Oh? Sister, tell me quickly, I will definitely help you!"

Wang Ge certainly didn't really expect Hutou to come up with his ideas.In the history of the previous life, there was a hull structure called "watertight compartment", which was an intangible cultural heritage item in the category of "traditional skills".

To put it simply, it is to use tenon joints (groove and tongue joints of wooden boards) and joints (filling materials made of ramie, tung oil, lime, etc.) to divide the entire large cabin into several small ones that are not connected to each other. The cabin improves the anti-sinking performance.Even if a small hold gets flooded, the boat can be repaired while sailing.

The earliest origin of this technology can be traced back to the "Lu Xun Uprising" at the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. This person used bamboo structures to transform ships and invented the "Eight Ships".

But in the current Great Jin Dynasty, there is no peasant uprising, and Lu Xun may not have been born yet, so what Wang Ge wants to give to County Magistrate Huan is the model of the eight ship... crude version.

County Magistrate Huan is a smart man, so he must be inspired by the ship model and send the ship model to a professional shipbuilder.

Wang Ge is very cautious. Even with this simple ship model, he also pretends to "think hard" with his brother, follow Lu Xun's invention route, and "inspire" from the bamboo joints on the inner wall of the bamboo.

The rest is easy.Directly use half of the bamboo tube as the cabin, and polish the smooth inner wall; saw eight thin wooden boards, cut them into slots, and insert them into the bamboo tube to divide them into nine small cabins, which are not connected to each other; carve water patterns on the bottom of the outer side of the bamboo tube for a little beautification ; saw a long thin wooden board to make a deck; use the tip of a stone knife to drill many small holes at the head and tail of the deck, and insert bamboo sticks as railings; the tops of the railings are connected with hemp ropes; Add bamboo strips on both sides to stabilize.

Even if it is made.

Wang Ge: "Brother, give the bamboo boat a name."

Wang Yun: "Hey, let's call it 'not afraid of leakage'."

The sister and brother laughed together. The name is simple and intuitive, and it just fits this crudely made model ship.

In the afternoon, Wang Ge began to strip bamboo and tear bamboo threads to make tumblers.Wang Shu sat by and watched for a while, then shivered from the cold.

Little Jia was pickling salty beans in the kitchen, and she would come out to look at the courtyard from time to time, and when she saw that Wang Shu was shaking, she went back to the house and hugged the mattress and came out to wrap Wang Shu on her body. "Age, my aunt asks you, you are a first-class craftsman this time, so you should be rewarded by the village, right?"

"I've already given it." Wang Ge didn't look at her, and replied coldly.

Little Jia thought, "How many?"

"Second Uncle treats me well at ordinary times. I have shared some reward money with Second Uncle. Why didn't Second Uncle tell you?"

Little Jia was annoyed: "Do you dare to provoke the elders?"

Wang Ge tore the bamboo shreds heavily and stopped talking.

"Mum, you, aren't you pickling salted beans?" Wang Shu pushed him away depressed.

Little Jia glared at the disheartened daughter, and went back to the kitchen, suspecting that Ge Xizi was disturbed and deliberately provoked.If there is a bounty, how can I give it to my husband?Alas, Ah Shu's temperament really follows her husband's, she's so stupid!Fortunately, Ahe let himself go, knowing that Ge Xizi was cunning and black-hearted, and he was not a good guy since he was a child!

Besides, in the courtyard, Wang Ge saw that Wang Shu's head was hanging lower and lower, so he said, "If you don't look at me, how can you learn?"

"Sister Cong, my mother... I, I almost have no face to learn from you."

"Why? You are just her daughter, not my second uncle's daughter?"

Wang Shu raised his head, thought about his sister's words, and laughed. "Yeah. My father treats sister Cong very well, that's why sister Cong is willing to teach me."

"That's right. People, if you get kindness, no matter how old you are or how young you are, you will all get kindness. If you don't know how to be kind, no matter how old or young you are, you don't deserve to be respected or respected."

Wang Shu's head drooped again.It's so embarrassing, my sister turned a corner and scolded my mother.

At this time, some people rushed in from outside the yard, among them, Wang Erlang was carrying Wang Sanlang who was weak and screaming.

"Quick, quick!" The group of people all entered the east wing.

Wang Ge immediately went to the main house, and the elder father and mother just came out.Needless to say, Wang Weng hurried to Sanfang.

Wang Ge hurriedly reassured the eldest mother not to worry: "The eldest father has passed away, the second uncle is here, and the neighbors are all there, and the eldest mother can't see anything in the past now. The third uncle is definitely fine. I heard him talking when he recited it just now." I'm going to look at it right now, don't go there yet. Hutou, you go and tell Father. Shu, help the eldest mother."

Wang Ge ran to the East Wing, just in time to hear the village neighbor talking to his elder father: "It's nothing serious. I looked hungry. I didn't knock or touch when I fainted. But, Uncle Wang, your Sanlang went to the mountain cutting Tree, this is heavy work, and I can’t let him be hungry anymore.”

This is not bad, Wang Ge's face darkened.If "the elder father treated the third uncle harshly" was rumored as true, then the old man's most valued reputation would be over!
