NOVEL NEXT Chapter 8 Prototype! Take the first step
There are also people who have thought about asking their children to come and learn a trick. Grandpa Zhou refuses everyone who comes, but all of them ask them to cut wood at home for a month, but none of them persist.
It was entirely thanks to the help that the original person gradually deepened his relationship and had the opportunity to learn this skill.
Grandpa Zhou took the gadget and turned it around, and found that it was indeed very delicate: "You are making rapid progress."
"I saw that book on Grandpa Zhou's desk a few days ago."
It was a book about traditional wood skills. The original person did read it, but it had no effect on her. After all, some of the books were too advanced.
Old man Zhou was very surprised. In his opinion, it was impossible for Lin Yu, who graduated from sixth grade, to understand that book. But since you can make this kind of thing, you have indeed learned it, and you can understand it and draw inferences.
He smiled happily: "I still have a few books here, take them and read them."
Lin Yu stood up and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Zhou!"
But what Old Man Zhou is curious about is, what is the use of doing this?
At present, he couldn't see any use. Lin Yu satisfied his curiosity and brought this little thing to the yard. He looked around and chose a place with relatively few weeds.
Put this thing up and start to turn the specially made long switch on the side. As it turns, the long column roller in the center of the circle slowly moves forward with a sharp hook knife, piercing into the soil one by one, cutting the weeds. The roots, and the sharp tooth-shaped iron hooks also directly hooked the soil out, and fell back into the earth during the rotation.
Because it was an experiment, the sliding wooden trough was not very long, and it came to an end in less than a minute. However, in just one minute, Old Man Zhou was already applauding. He could already imagine how much manpower this thing would save in the fields.
"Okay, okay, Erya, how did you come up with the idea of doing this?"
Lin Yu was choked up in her heart. What's wrong with this era? Even though the name was randomly chosen, her brother was born into a poor scholar at the right time of his birth. Her mother took pity on him and gave him a meal. Then the scholar gave him a literary name, but Huang Cui was very satisfied. Regardless of everyone's objections, the name was decided.
Thinking of this, Lin Yu glanced at his younger brother who was addicted to dolls. He was so thin that he was so thin that he looked like a handsome scholar. It's a pity that my seven-and-a-half-year-old brother doesn't have money to go to school because his family is poor.
Moreover, the Cultural Revolution had only just begun a few years ago and would not end until this little guy was about fifteen years old.
But until then, we can't let him remain illiterate, right?
Lin Yu had a headache and decided to pick up the elementary school textbooks that her sister had not thrown away and start teaching from scratch.
Old man Zhou looked at the small prototype in front of him and said, "Come here tomorrow, and we will make this big thing together."
Hearing this, Lin Yu's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Grandpa Zhou! Today I brought water to my parents. I saw that the grass roots there were so soily and tight that I came up with this idea..."
Old man Zhou nodded and started to disassemble the thing.
I was even more amazed when I saw the gears hidden inside the round body.
"Yes, the gears are very fine... The rotation pattern of the long wooden groove should be thought of from the bicycle chain, right?"
Lin Yu was not upset when he saw him dismantling his things manually. After all, in terms of seniority, Grandpa Zhou is not only several generations older than him. With both emotion and reason, he can be regarded as his own master.
Not to mention dismantling one of Lin Yu's samples, it would be fair to dismantle ten or hundreds of hers.
"Yes, Grandpa Zhou. It's a pity that we don't have iron chains, otherwise this thing can be made better."
Old man Zhou thought about it, this chain was indeed a rare thing, at least it was a big chain that you couldn't get without connections.
His two sons have become soldiers, and 80% of their salary every year has to be sent back to him for retirement. But he didn't spend too much, so he saved up for them to get a wife. But in this era, even if you have money, you can't buy a lot of iron products.
"It's okay. Come over tomorrow and go to Lin Orion's house to ask for some flexible tendons."
Otherwise, this rope would not be able to withstand the pressure of so many fields.
Uncle Orion Linjiao has been hunting for generations. Later, after the war and peace, he also knew that everything on the mountain was considered public property. From then on, I could only go up the mountain to perform toothpaste rituals like everyone else. After several years of famine, the captain and the others turned a blind eye. We couldn't let them leave the vegetation full of food on the mountain without looking for it, and starve to death!
Lin Aiguo is their captain, but he cannot do such ruthless things.
Lin Yu's eyes lit up when he thought of the muscles of animals.
You see, it's not enough to study hard. You still need to combine it with real life to make rapid progress. It's like she never thought that some things could be replaced with animal tendons.
"I understand, Grandpa Zhou."
So the siblings cleaned up the somewhat messy yard and quickly went back to make dinner.
The sky is dark and the adults are about to leave work. Parents have to come back after a busy day, so we can't ask them to come back and cook.
Lin Fei arrived home, and as diligently as a little bee, he took the firewood outside the yard and started to light a fire. Lin Yu went to the back of the yard to pick some cabbage, chopped it up, mixed it with a few sweet potatoes and a bowl of whole grains, and steamed it into dry rice.
After a busy day, how could he only drink a bowl of gruel like the old Lin family did before? What's the point of eating so much since he doesn't have to go off work at night? So where should we replenish the body energy consumed during the day?
Because of constant consumption without timely replenishment, her parents barely lived to be 60 years old before both died of illness.
It happened to rain heavily yesterday, and in two days the wild vegetables near the mountain trail would be tender enough to be eaten. Then they would go up with their backpacks to pick wild vegetables, and then cut pigweed in the afternoon. A few piglets were also ordered from the village, and Lin Yu couldn't rest for a few more days.
Nowadays, all the children in the village who can work have to go to the fields to grow crops. The weaker ones, like Lin Yu and Lin Fei, go up to the mountains to cut pig grass and help feed the pigs, which counts for only one or two centimeters.
The fire in the earthen stove was so hot that the water in the pot boiled. The whole-grain sweet potato rice steamed in a pot quickly released its fragrance. Lin Yu dipped an oilcloth in some oil, smeared a circle around the pot, then put the chopped cabbage in the pot until it became soft and yellow, sprinkled with a little salt and it became a good dish.
Just this big pot of cabbage has already ruined most of the cabbage field. Huang Cui will definitely scold herself when she comes back.
Lin Yu felt a little guilty, but she thought that wild vegetables would be edible in a few days, and that it would be a good time to take over the newly planted vegetable plot at home.
