"Wonderful! That's wonderful! Hahaha..."Yuan Fang laughed when he looked at it. Spread the drawing paper on the upper table, pointed to the plow comment, the plow arrow and the plough construction and exclaimed: "Just by adding three small objects, you can control the depth of the plough plough, wonderful!" I never thought of such a simple thing before! ”

Liu Yiyi's eyes lit up, he could see so many things from a single figure, it seemed that Yuan Fang could really make a zigzag plow.

Yuan Fang carefully put away the drawing paper, looked at Liu Yiyi and sighed: "Mr. Liu, your picture is really exquisite, according to the picture, the plow made will be two to three times better than the Wei plow, and the straight plow can't be compared!" And it doesn't use many materials, but the structure is a little small, and it will take some effort to make. But I'm sure I can make one in three days! ”

"Really?!" Liu Yiyi was overjoyed, and said to Yuan Fang in a congratulatory voice: "I am tired that Uncle Yuan can bother to make twenty pairs for one." The price is not a problem, what is the need for Uncle Yuan can just ask. ”

Yuan Fang waved his hand and said: "Mr. Liu only needs to provide the old man with the necessary timber and ploughshares, as for the cost of workmanship, the old man will not take a penny, and will make twenty pairs for you for free." However, the old man has one condition..."

"Oh? Uncle Yuan, please speak. Liu Yiyi swore and said: "As long as it is within one's ability, it will be obeyed." ”

"Hehe, it's not that serious," Yuan Fang said with a smile: "The old man just likes this plough diagram very much, and wants to ask Mr. Liu to give it to the old man." ”

That's it, Liu Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said, "If Uncle Yuan likes it, just take it." A piece of imprecise civil engineering, this picture is also a pearl in my place, and it doesn't play a role. ”

"Okay, then my old man is welcome." Yuan Fang smiled and put the painting paper in his arms, and then said to Liu Yiyi: "It's a little late today, Mr. Liu can go and collect some willow trees tomorrow, well, let's go and collect some willow trees first." Remember that the trunk of the tree must be straight, not too thick, and the age of the tree should be ten years. Send it to me after receiving it. There are also ploughshares, and the gentleman will go to a blacksmith shop and order twenty of them, and the style will be the same as that of a straight plough. When the materials are collected, Pei Er and I will rush out for Mr. Liu in the shortest possible time. It will never delay the use of spring ploughing. ”

"In this way, there will be Uncle Lao Yuan and Uncle Yuan." Things have settled, and Yanagichi's heart has also settled down. Seeing that it was getting late, he got up and said goodbye to Yuan Fang's father and son, and said, "It's getting late, and I won't bother anymore." ”

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and every household has to worship their ancestors in the evening, so it is inconvenient to keep guests, so Yuan Fang's father and son did not say anything to stay, but politely sent Liu Yiyi out of the door and watched him leave.

When Liu Yiyi returned home, everyone in the family had already gotten up. Liu He took Liu Xiaohui to cook in the kitchen, and Liu Laoshi and Liu Nijo fed the ploughing cattle in the courtyard.

Seeing Liu Yi come back, Lao Liu asked, "Yi Yi, where have you been, I haven't seen you all afternoon?" ”

"Oh, I went to Xia'er Village." Liu Yiyi replied: "Go and ask Uncle Yuan to make a few pairs of plowshares for land reclamation." I have already said that I will send him some raw materials tomorrow. ”

"Yuan Fang, right?" Liu nodded honestly and said, "This is as it should be, the ten new cows in the family don't have matching plowshares yet, so they should really go and prepare a few pairs." Well, there are also cocoons, hoes, pickles, and sickles that need to be prepared. Let's go to the county seat to buy some. ”

"Hmm." Liu Yiyi answered, turned his head to Liu Ertiao and said, "Ertiao, Wang Xiancheng will be promoted to Chang'an tomorrow, you go with me to see him off." He's your teacher now, remember to be affectionate then. ”

"Mr. Wang has been promoted?!" Liu Erjo's eyes widened, and there was a bit of surprise and surprise in them.

"Well, Governor Shi, Zheng Liupin." Liu Yiyi said: "Lord Wang came here in the afternoon, but you were all asleep at the time, so I didn't let you call." After a few words, he went back. ”

Lao Liu interjected: "Since Lord Wang is leaving, it is still a happy event like promotion, you should go early tomorrow, prepare more gifts when you go, see you off, congratulate and bring New Year's greetings, don't let the teacher think that we are not enthusiastic enough, and chill your heart." ”

"Got it, Dad, we'll take notice." Liu Yiyi answered. This is something that Liu honestly doesn't say, and he knows what to do.

After being busy for a while, Liu Yiyi drove Liu Ertiao into the house, and the children should focus on their studies and always mess around behind the cow's buttocks.

Looking at the sky, it was not completely dark, and while there was still some time, Liu Yiyi took out the bamboo that had been burned yesterday from the house. In the yard, use a knife to chop them into long bamboo strips the thickness of your fingers. Weave a basket for the ox.

The basket is a kind of horse-like thing that is used by the folk to restrict the cattle from eating grass, which is woven with bamboo, and is put on the cow's mouth when ploughing the land, which can prevent the cattle from gnawing the crops and eating grass at will. There is a sentence after the break that describes it well, the cow's mouth is on the basket - it can't be opened. This is a practical gadget that can improve the efficiency of cattle farming.

Liu honestly saw that Liu Yiyi was tinkering with some new toys again, so he came over. From treating the intestines to piercing the nose for the ploughing cow, Lao Liu has been convinced of the methods of their family's eldest son.

Seeing that Liu Yi crossed the bamboo strips into something like a small basket, Lao Liu asked strangely: "Yiyi, what are you doing with such a small bamboo basket?" Can't hold too much? ”

Liu Yiyi smiled and didn't answer, but walked up to their Xiao Huang and put the braided basket on Xiao Huang's mouth, just enough to fit its upper and lower jaws, which was very suitable. patting Xiao Huang's cow head, Liu Yiyi turned his head and said to Lao Liu: "Dad, you have also seen that this is for cows, and it doesn't need to be too big, just fit the cow's mouth." ”

"This..?" Lao Liu has a question mark in his head, what are you doing with the cow's mouth?

Seeing that Lao Liu didn't understand, Liu Yi grabbed a handful of hay and handed it to Xiao Huang's mouth, Xiao Huang happily leaned his head over, but he couldn't eat in his mouth, and as soon as his mouth was close to the forage, it would be separated by the basket on his mouth. After repeating it a few times, Xiao Huang stopped dejectedly and looked at Liu Yi with a pair of big watery eyes.

Seeing this, Lao Liu finally understood something. Started nodding non-stop. With this small basket, when farming in the future, I am not afraid of ploughing cattle looking for food to eat.

Later, Liu Yiyi found some ropes and taught Lao Liu to tie the rope for the ploughing ox.

From the bull's nose ring, through the jaw, through the horns, and then from the forehead, a noose in the shape of briefs based on the cow's nose is formed. With this, the cow's nose can be effectively protected and can prevent the cow's nose from being strained by using too much force during the pulling process.
