Chapter 146 Model Success
All afternoon the boys were thinking about the threshing tool.

Chen Fan bought several bundles of rice, and weighed the grass and millet to calculate the money.The villager looked at her curiously.

Chen Fan said perfunctorily: "I let them learn how to smash rice."

The villager nodded happily: "You have a lot of money, as long as you are happy."

Chen Fan grabbed some rice handles and handed them to the boys, and only said: "No matter how much material you use, keep it there, and leave the used ones there too."

Chen Zhongliang recalled Chen Fan's movements, like combing his hair, he combed the rice handle with his fingers.A few grains of rice were brought down.

Inspired, Chen Zhongzhu scratched the barbed stick a few times, and the rice grains could be torn off.

"What does turning around mean?" Liu Dingkang imitated Chen Fan's movements, "Eldest sister also told us to think about the wheels of the carriage."

Everyone was thinking hard.

Chen Zhonglin said: "If there are thorns on the wheel, the rice grains can be cut off when it turns."

"Why do you want to turn around?"

"You can cut all the time by turning it all the time. Think of a stone mill, you can put beans while turning the stone mill. The principle of using the wheel should be the same, and put rice while turning the wheel." Chen Zhonglin is good at connecting.

Everyone seems to understand.

Chen Zhongzhu laid the wooden stick horizontally, and the two children each grabbed one end and turned it.The more you look, the brighter the eyes of the children.

The other person held the rice handle close to the stick, and the wooden spikes kept passing over the rice handle, and the rice grains fell one after another.

The children cheered.

"How do you keep this log spinning?"

"Think about wagon wheels? How do wheels turn?"

"Add an axle." Chen Zhongmei thought for a while, grabbed a handful of dirt, squeezed it, and stuck a thin wooden stick in the middle.

"Make another shelf for it." Chen Zhongyan said.

The two children found blocks of wood and set it up.There is a lot of wood in the house, and Chen Fan asked the carpenters to save all the leftover wood used to build the house, saying that they can keep it for fun.Now is the perfect time for kids to do it themselves.

"I also need to make a handle, and it can be turned by shaking it." Chen Zhonglin thought of another step, and found a thin wooden stick nailed to it as a handle.

"It's not so smooth." He tried it, and nailed the root again. "This way it will be easy to grasp."

Everyone was very excited and took turns shaking a few times.

"If I fail the Jinshi exam and fail to enter the Imperial Academy, I should be famous as a carpenter." Chen Zhongtan said to himself.

"Can you make powerful siege equipment?" Chen Zhongzhu kept on saying without leaving the battlefield.

"Will you make a powerful mechanism?" Chen Zhongliang also got excited.

Chen Zhonglin grinned: "I can try in these two directions."

Liu Dingkang was squeezing the mud into the shape of barbs.

Everyone looked at it for a while, and they all said that this direction is correct, as long as it is done better, it will be fine.

"Is it better to have more thorns or less thorns?" Liu Dingkang was thinking.

"It must be more effective." Liu Chenfeng said.

"Then use a thicker wooden stick, but the thicker the stick, the heavier it will be. It's too tiring to turn it by hand." Liu Dingkang felt bad.

Everyone was lost in thought again.

"It can be made hollow, like a wooden barrel." Chen Zhongtan had a new idea.

"Install a wheel on each side of the barrel and connect it with an axle." Chen Zhongmei added.

"I think you can become a mechanism master even if you continue to commit crimes." Liu Dingkang said.

Chen Zhongmei shook his head: "I want to make all kinds of dissection tools to facilitate the autopsy."

Everyone trembled in unison.

With the idea, everyone is ready to make a complete model.

Chen Fan and Zhang Ci are also experimenting with what shape and angle the thorns can cut off the rice grains more quickly.

"I think the way you raise your children is very interesting." Zhang Ci said.

"How do I take care of my children?" Chen Fan asked with a smile.

"You like to let them do things, and you often give them some novel tasks to think about."

"If they don't do something, I have to do it alone. I'm exhausted and they may still hate it. Only by making them work harder will they cherish the fruits of their labor. As for letting subordinates do it? They haven't become masters yet. Well, you have to learn to be self-sufficient and self-reliant. Boys like to make troubles when they have a little energy, so giving them some novel tasks is better than letting them play pranks."

Zhang Ci smiled: "You asked everyone to read, which subverted many people's perceptions. Because many people do not allow girls to study."

"Everyone has the right to read."

"But you let them go to work in the fields and cook in the kitchen. How many scholars are there to work in the fields?"

"Aren't those farming and studying homes all doing farm work?" Chen Fan disagreed.

Zhang Ci shook his head: "In the early days of farming and reading families, they worked, and they were more able to endure hardships. But later, scholars didn't work very much. Some children felt that they were superior to others and were favored by their families without reading a few books. Like a young master. The family conditions are good, which is acceptable; but in some families, the whole family endures hardships, supporting a scholar, but raising a bad-tempered and heartless waste."

"In fact, there are many children in my hometown who don't work." Chen Fan said, "In the past, children in rural areas had to plant land. Later, many rural areas had no fields, and children did not have to do farm work. Grandparents and parents have suffered a lot. , I don’t want the children to suffer any more, and they don’t let the children work, as long as they study. Later, their lives are getting better and better, and they are even more reluctant to let the children work. The children are the little sun at home, and the whole family Around a child."

"There is only one child in the family?" This is beyond the cognitive scope of the chapters.

Chen Fan nodded: "This is a bit complicated to say, and the situation of having children has changed now. Let's talk about work. I have been working since I was a child, and I have learned to cook since I was a child. Many men in our place can cook. Yes, it’s delicious.”

"So you let boys cook too?"

"Yeah, if you know how to cook, you won't starve to death. Who can guarantee that he will have someone to cook for him all his life?" She didn't want her adopted brother to be the kind who would only lie on the sofa and scold women of.

"I think it's very interesting that you let them think of ways to do things together. They will work hard to think of solutions, try to communicate and cooperate with others, and do their own operations. These can make them continue to grow. If they become officials, they can also Think of various ways to do things well and handle the relationship between colleagues well.”

"Well, if you want to be an official, you have to do it well. If you do well, you will naturally have fame and fortune." It is human nature to pursue fame and fortune, but it is not what she wants to see just for fame and fortune, or even for ordinary people.

The boys came over with models, all very excited.

Chen Zhongyan looked at Chen Fan expectantly: "When can we see the real machine?"
