Chapter 288 Trying to Get People to Come
Zhou Congguang was right. He said that the thing he made was almost done.
He worked hard for two days and finally made it. After he made it, he fiddled with it for two hours with satisfaction, but then he got tired of it and threw it aside.
Manager Ye asked him, "Engineer Zhou, can I send this thing to Madam Qin Liu to see?"
Zhou Congguang waved his hand and let him take it away.
So, about two quarters of an hour later, a miniature hand-cranked dehydrator appeared in front of Lu Songli.
Lu Songli fiddled with it for a while, and even asked someone to bring two or three wet clothes to test it. He found that the dehydration effect was acceptable, at least it could not be wrung out by human power. Of course, it was not as good as the dehydration effect of the electric dehydrator in later generations.
The subordinates watched silently, thinking that this thing was rare, but it was useless. It was so hot now, and the wet clothes would dry in a short time after being hung up.
"Come here, send this hand-cranked dehydrator to the warehouse, number it and put it away."
It doesn't matter if it's not used now, wait for winter. She will set up a workshop later and make more, and sell it to the prosperous Jiangnan in winter. It will definitely sell well.
Manager Ye sent this thing here, and when the thing was delivered, he wanted to leave.
Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Lu Songli and told him something, "... Ask him if this can be made?" At the same time, he was given a simple diagram.
This simple diagram shows a foot-operated thresher. Now the harvested rice is all crushed with stones to thresh, which is too troublesome. This foot-operated thresher is a product of the 1970s and 1980s. In the era without mechanization, it is very easy to use.
In fact, it would be better for her to go in person for this matter, which would be easier to explain, but she was really busy.
At this time, Zhan Ruoshui and Wei Wenqian rested in the house for half a day. After resting enough, the master and apprentice strolled to the four courtyards in the north city.
It was dinner time when they arrived, so Zhou Congguang invited them to eat.
At this time, Lv Mingzhi also had his food placed in Zhou Congguang's yard, and he would arrive later.
Steward Ye had just returned from the County Magistrate's Mansion after meeting Mrs. Qin Liu. Seeing that there were two more people at Zhou Congguang's place, he quickly asked the kitchen to cook two more dishes.
"You eat so well?" Wei Wenqian counted their dishes. There were three dishes per person, and a bowl of chicken soup!
Zhan Ruoshui also found something wrong. Although the food provided to them was also very good, there was no braised pork liver and chicken soup.
Zhou Congguang didn't feel anything wrong, "Yes, after I moved in, there must be a pork liver and chicken soup for lunch every day."
Zhou Congguang realized that their reaction was wrong, "Master, don't you have it?"
He asked Manager Ye, "What's going on?"
Manager Ye bowed slightly and replied, "Doctor Lu said that Mr. Zhou has a little liver blood deficiency and cannot nourish the liver and tendons properly, so this pork liver was added. When Mr. Zhou's liver blood deficiency improves, other dishes will be changed."
Zhan Ruoshui looked at Zhou Congguang, "Did you see the doctor? What's wrong with you?"
"Master Zhan, don't worry. Doctor Lu came here just to check the bodies of Mr. Zhou and Mr. Lu. Such a check will be held every six months. If any problems are found, they will be dealt with in time."
Zhan Ruoshui and Wei Wenqian didn't know what to say. His disciple|senior brother was treated very well.
Because there were still two dishes to be served and Lv Mingzhi hadn't come yet, the three masters and apprentices hadn't started eating yet.
Manager Ye simply took out the simple diagram that Madam Qin Liu gave him, "Mr. Zhou, Madam Qin Liu wants to make something, can you take a look and see if you can make it?"
Zhou Congguang took the simple diagram, "Let me see."
Manager Ye relayed Lu Songli's description of the pedal harvester.
Zhan Ruoshui and Wei Wenqian also listened carefully. In fact, Zhan Ruoshui is not good at such mechanical things. He is good at the fusion and collision of things. In fact, in the words of later generations, he is good at chemistry.
After listening to his description, Zhou Congguang nodded, "This should not be difficult to do, let me think about it."
Lu Mingzhi also strolled over at this time.
Then Zhou Congguang announced that the meal was ready! He had been using his hands and brain all day, and his stomach was empty for a long time.
"Master, I want to write a letter to my brothers!" After dinner, Zhou Congguang announced that he was so happy.
Share the happiness together, let's all come to Liaodong County together.
These people are always disliked in the academy for not studying hard, not only playing with things, but also ruining the family.
Now there is a place like Liaodong County, which is perfect for them.
Not only is he happy alone, he also wants to invite his fellow apprentices to come together.
In short, he just wants to call people.
He is really smart!
Later, someone found them and wanted to incite them, saying that Lv Songli was so generous to them and was completely using them.
He was also despised by Zhou Congguang and others. She took care of their food, clothing, housing and transportation, and even took care of their families. In the end, she just wanted the products they tested. How can it be called using?
When they were despised for being a spendthrift and not studying hard, she provided them with all the materials needed for the experiment. She never said how expensive these materials were, and she never complained to them.
They were like white and fat insects that were taken care of. She just took them away and pulled them out to rake and make money. If this is using, it is just waste.
Before coming to Liaodong County, this group of people, from the master to the disciples, were all penniless. Later, each of them was rich, if not rich. If this was exploitation, they were willing.
Seeing that Senior Brother Zhou was so sensible, Lv Mingzhi thought that his second sister must like people like Senior Brother Zhou.
Looking at the disciples who were dancing with joy, Master Zhan and another disciple looked at each other. Is he really so happy? Seeing him like this, what should they do if they feel itchy?
Master Zhan himself is a person who likes to toss around. He is curious about the collision reaction between things, otherwise he would not have brought up so many disciples who like to toss around like this.
Lv Mingzhi is good at observing people's expressions. Seeing this, he immediately hit the snake with a stick, "Master, my second sister asked me to make something, and I don't understand some places. Can you help the disciple? Senior Brother Wei, can you help the junior brother too?"
In fact, what Lv Songli gave him was the research on woodblock printing.
"Okay, then we'll go to your yard and take a look."
