The villain and traitor is my brother

Chapter 114 Grass cutting tools
He Jin added: "The square hoe is like this, but we need to bend down to work. If it is made into an object, people only need to stand and push it forward. Wouldn't it be more labor-saving?"

Some students also said: "If someone pushes forward and the grass is underneath, it will not be easy to overthrow the grass."

Someone immediately suggested, "Since we want people to push forward, and the tool can move forward without tipping over, we can't make it very straight. It needs to be a slanted handle, and there needs to be weight underneath."

"Since we have to push it forward, wouldn't it be more labor-saving if there were wheels to carry that farm tool forward?"

"We already use blades. A few more blades will make it faster than just one blade."

Seeing that their discussion was getting more intense, Zheng Qiuyun suspended their morning study and gave them time to make this farm tool.

When Zheng Wenping was teaching, it was rare that a few students were absent-minded.Zheng Wenping tapped the desk of a distracted student with his finger and asked in a deep voice: "Why are you distracted?"

The student immediately came to his senses and said nervously, "When we were in class in the morning, the teacher asked us to make a labor-saving weeding tool. I was so lost in thought that I didn't listen. Please punish me."

Zheng Wenping did not blame him and continued teaching.The student breathed a sigh of relief, stopped thinking, and concentrated on listening to the class.During the break, Zheng Wenping walked up to the student and said, "Draw your thoughts and I will take a look."

He was flattered and quickly drew a sketch on the paper, "I want the pole to be tilted, with a wheel underneath, and a blade at the front of the frame supporting the wheel. In this way, when the wheel moves forward, the blade also moves forward. I can cut the grass in front of me."

He said distressedly: "But I feel that the grass is so soft. If the blade is pushed forward, it will be pushed to the ground, and there will be no time to cut it. Unless I push it very fast, I am afraid that the grass will get entangled in the wheel."

Others saw them discussing lawn mowing tools and joined in to listen.

Meng Hao said: "We wanted to add a few more blades before, but we didn't know how to add them?"

Zheng Wenping held a pen in his hand with a serious expression. "If you want to prevent the grass from getting entangled in the wheel, you might as well change the wheel into wheels on both sides. When the wheel rolls forward, it can drive the blade to rotate. If the blade is used to rotate, the grass will be moved." Cutting it down also prevents the grass from being pushed to the ground.”

It's too hard to understand and they can't understand it.Zheng Wenping only gave them some instructions, but did not draw them drawings or tell them the specific production methods.

Zheng Wenping packed up his things and said, "Today's lecture content is not much. You can use the next time to find a blacksmith, tell the blacksmith your ideas and ask him if it is feasible. If you and the blacksmith both think it is feasible, you can start Come out and continue to improve if there is anything wrong.”

This was a good idea. After hearing this, they packed their bags and went to find a nearby blacksmith.

On the second day of class, they brought weeding tools of different shapes.

The first one is the wheel-wheel weeding tool displayed by the distracted students yesterday.I saw him standing at the edge of the field, pushing a wheelbarrow forward.I was able to remove some weeds at first, but soon there was a problem with the wheels getting entangled in the grass, and some of the grass was not completely removed.

What He Jin showed was a two-wheeled weeding implement. The wheels rolled forward and the blades also rotated. The weeds were removed cleaner than the first one-wheeled one.But after turning for a while, you need to clean it up, otherwise there will be grass blocking the blade from continuing to turn.

Meng Hao made the blade somewhat curved, and the effect was similar to what He Jin did.If it spins slowly, it will not be completely removed; if it spins fast, it will be easily blocked.

The last time Chu Bingwen asked the old farmer with Meng Hao, he regretted not asking more.Now I went to find the blacksmith, but he didn't come back until dark.

The weeding tool he made today has two wheels, curved blades, and a roller made of several blades.There are gaps between the blades so that the removed grass can be removed to avoid clogging.In addition, there are several blades taking turns to weed, and the effect is much better than one blade.

Zheng Qiuyun's eyes lit up when he saw the farm tool he made. It was close to a modern manual lawn mower, but the blacksmith's skills were not good enough and there were some flaws in the work.She said: "It's clear to everyone who makes the best farm tools. Chu Bingwen did an excellent job this time. Other students also worked hard. I believe that as long as they improve, the results will be very good. Everyone can use their own skills to make the tools better." I will put this first achievement of improving farm tools in a room for future students to visit."

Meng Hao asked: "Hey, if the Agricultural School is always open and there are always new students visiting, wouldn't we be famous throughout the ages?"

Exile through the ages is the initial lifelong pursuit of every pure scholar.

Just when Zheng Qiuyun wanted to say yes, Chu Bingwen hit Meng Hao, "Farm tools like mine will be exiled for eternity, and yours will only make people laugh. Later generations of students will point to the farm tools you made and say, what an ugly thing is this?" .”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone laughed. Meng Hao was embarrassed and said, "Then let's add some jokes to those who come after us."

He Jin was not convinced, "It's just the first result. If you wait for me to improve it, it will definitely be better than your farm tools."

Chu Bingwen was not afraid at all, "My farm tools can still be improved!"

Zheng Qiuyun quickly smoothed things over to prevent them from arguing, "Now we are making weeding tools, and in the future we will also make harvesting and threshing tools. I hope you can do your best to let the parents and children in our hometown contribute."

They shouted: "Don't worry, sir."

Zheng Wenping's class didn't start in the afternoon, so he had already packed his luggage.I deliberately set aside an afternoon today because I wanted to cook a meal for my family.

Although he is a scholar, he does not have the concept of a gentleman staying in the kitchen.Without asking for help from anyone else, he fried six dishes, stewed black chicken soup, and prepared some tea and cakes for after-dinner meals.

Zheng Wenping will leave for his appointment tomorrow, and he also wants to invite Pei Yuanqi to have a meal with him.He was busy arranging the dishes and asked Zheng Wuan to call Pei Yuanqi.Zheng Wuan said: "There is no need to call brother Yuan Qi. He will come by himself after handling the affairs."

Zheng Wuan and Pei Yuanqi needed to go to court at the same time, so they met, but Zheng Wenping, who was not going to go to court recently, didn't know that Pei Yuanqi came out of Zheng Qiuyun's room.

Hearing Zheng Wu'an say that Pei Yuanqi came here on his own, he was still surprised, "Did brother Yuan Qi come over because of something?"

Zheng Wuan felt that this kind of thing hurt Pei Yuanqi's face a little, so he helped him hide it, "So be it."

Zheng Wenping stopped asking and asked Zheng Wuan to call his sister for dinner.

Zheng Qiuyun praised him as soon as he came, "Wen Ping is so awesome, he has cooked so many dishes!"

Zheng Wenping smiled shyly and quickly regained his calm expression, "I don't know when I will see you when I leave tomorrow, so I thought of cooking a table before I leave."
