Liu Yiyi returned to the house, looked at the book book in his hand, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a faint smile.

Now there is money, and there are people.

The rest is the curved plow.

For Quyuan plow, Liu Yiyi already has a plan in his heart. So he wanted to visit a person today, that was Yuan Fang, who had seen cow disease in his place before.

Liu Yiyi never thought that Yuan Fang was not only a farmer, but also a carpenter. And it's the high-end kind. This is something that Liu Laoshi inadvertently mentioned. In several neighboring villages, including their home, almost every practical piece of furniture was made by Yuan Fang.

The last time he saw his illness, Liu Yiyi had a good relationship with Yuan Fang, and this time he wanted to take this opportunity to pay a visit. Let's see if Yuan Fang can make a zigzag plough based on the diagram of the quyuan plough he made.

After cleaning up a little, Liu Yichi went out with some gifts. The target is the Yuan house in Xia'er Village.

The one who opened the door was a middle-aged man, Yuan Fang's son Yuan Pei, who had met him when he came to deliver cattle to them last time. Yuan Pei recognized Liu Yiyi at once, and shouted that Liu Shenyi let Liu Yiyi into the house.

After Liu Yiyi entered the door, he also learned from Wang Zhihong's appearance when he came to their house just now, and first put a pillar of incense on the ancestor of Yuan's house and bowed to show respect.

After Liu Yi sat down in the living room, Yuan Pei went into the house to call Yuan Fang. Liu Yiyi took the opportunity to look at the furniture of the Yuan family. The big red tables and chairs, the tall brown doors, and the bright and dark carvings painted on them. Let Liu Yiyi, a layman in carpentry, also see a bit of heaviness and dexterity from it. Practical and beautiful, this Yuan Fang has a pair of good hands.

"Mr. Liu's visit is really rude." At this time, Yuan Fang walked out of the inner hall quickly, and his clothes were not yet put on neatly.

Seeing him like this, Liu Yiyi inevitably felt a little moved in his heart, so he stood up and saluted Yuan Fang and said, "Uncle Yuan, I have taken the liberty to visit and disturb your rest." ”

"Hey, Mr. Liu, where are you, if you are willing to give it up, it's too late for me to be happy, old man." Yuan Fang happily walked to the main hall and said to Liu Yiyi: "Mr. Liu doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat." My old man's house doesn't have so many rules, just be casual. ”

"Yes, Doctor Liu, my father is most annoying about those vulgar manners, so you don't have to be polite in my house." Yuan Pei also helped on the side.

"Then you're welcome." Liu Yiyi found a place to sit down, took the tea handed over by Yuan Pei, took a sip, and put it on the table next to him.

Yuan Fang smiled and nodded, and said, "Mr. Liu is afraid that he has something to talk about when he comes to Xiao Lao'er now." It doesn't matter, you just have to say it directly, as long as the little old man can help, he will definitely not stand idly by! ”

From the last time Liu Yiyi was willing to take the initiative to send the cow back and return the promised money, Yuan Fang felt some gratitude to Liu Yiyi in his heart. He doesn't care much about money and money, the key is that he sees Liu Yiyi's personality from this matter: sincere, kind, and has great ability. This time, the county was able to quickly find a good prescription for healing cattle, others didn't know, but Yuan Fang knew very well in his heart that the prescription was provided by Liu Yiyi.

In addition to him, Zhang Chuwen may also be able to guess some. Because when their cattle were returned, the thick smell of garlic and wine in the cow's mouth was almost exactly the same as the taste of the potion issued by the county. In this case, even a fool can guess one or two, and the prescription in the county is very likely to be offered by Liu Yiyi. So from then on, Yuan Yi regarded Liu Yiyi as a respectable person in his heart.

Liu Yiyi saw that Yuan Fang was so direct and bold, and he was no longer polite to him, and directly took out the drawing paper from his arms and handed it to Yuan Fangdao: "Uncle Yuan, please take a look, this is a plough diagram that I got by accident, it looks very different from the current general straight plow, and it seems to be lighter and easier to use than the straight plow." So I wanted to make it and try it out. Uncle Yuan is an expert in this area, I wonder if you can make one according to the picture drawn? ”

Yuan Fang took the drawing, glanced at it, and said with some surprise: "Isn't this a Wei plow?" ”

"Huh? No," Yuan Fang looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "The Wei plow is a straight yuan, but this one is a curved yuan, and the structure of this plow seems to be more delicate and complex than the Wei plow. Well, interesting..."

Yuan Fang's words made Liu Yiyi also taken aback, Wei Li? What is that? Does it look similar to a curved plow? Why haven't you heard of it before?

"Uncle Yuan, what is that Wei Li? Is it similar to the plow in this picture? Why haven't I seen anyone use it? Ryuichi asked.

Yuan Fang took his eyes off the drawings and said, "The Wei plow is a new type of plough, which is much easier to use than the current plowshare. A few years ago, I also tried to make one, and the lower plate of the plough is very similar to the plow in your picture, and there is a plough pan that can be rotated. Easy to turn and move. Well, just a slight difference in the size of the plough pan. If you look closely, the plough seems to be missing something from the ploughshare on the picture. Well, interestingly, this plow should be better than the plow. ”

"How to do it, well, you should first make the top square frame, make a curved wheel, yes, the curved wheel will be more labor-saving than the straight wheel, why didn't I think of it before. Well, then I'll do it..."Yuan Yi said to himself.

Seeing this, Yuan Pei said to Liu Yiyi with some resignation: "Doctor Liu, don't be weird, my father will be like this when he sees something new." You don't have to pay attention to it, just wait until he understands it. ”

Liu Yiyi smiled very understandingly, and said: "It doesn't matter, extraordinary people do extraordinary things, Uncle Yuan can achieve such a great achievement in carpentry, I think it must be related to his concentration." ”

After speaking, Liu Yiyi looked at Yuan Pei and asked: "With Uncle Yuan's teachings, I think Uncle Yuan's attainments in carpentry are also extraordinary." I have some questions and want to ask Uncle Yuan for advice. ”

Yuan Pei said with a smile: "Doctor Liu wants to ask about this Wei Li?" ”

Seeing Liu Yiyi nodding, Yuan Pei explained: "As my father said just now, the Wei plow is a new type of plough, which is very practical and easy to use, but not many people can afford it. Whether it is work or material consumption, it will cost five silver dollars to make a plough, and it is about to catch up with the price of a ploughing ox, so ordinary people can't afford it at all. Not many people use it, and it's normal that you haven't seen it. ”

"However, what makes me strange is that the ploughing diagram of Doctor Liu seems to be much lighter and more flexible than the Wei plow. Is it a new type of plowshare? Yuan Pei asked Liu Yiyi, "I wonder if Doctor Liu can easily tell where this picture came from?" ”

"This," Liu Yiyi prevaricated with an embarrassed face: "It's about some secrets, and it's a little inconvenient to tell, so please forgive Uncle Yuan!" ”

Yuan Pei smiled with relief when he saw this, and said, "It's okay, I'm just curious, if it's inconvenient to say it, forget it." For a good carpenter, having drawings is enough. ”

Yuan Pei's words made Liu Yiyi overjoyed, and he asked excitedly: "As Uncle Yuan said, then, can this plow be made?!" ”

"I don't dare to say anything else, but my father will definitely be able to do it." Yuan Pei replied proudly.
