Chapter 268

When old man Wu heard that Luo Tiandu was a knowledgeable person, his eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly, "What is a power system?" It was hard for him to grasp the main point in a few words that Luo Tiandu said casually.

"The power system is the system that generates thrust through the chemical or physical reaction of certain fuels to propel your glider to fly." Luo Tian is not a science student. In fact, she doesn't know much about this kind of thing. How can she explain it to old man Wu? a bit difficult.

He understands fuel, physics?Chemical?what is that?Teacher Wu's eyes lit up, and he looked like he was begging for an explanation.

Luo Tian didn't even know how to explain it to him to understand. She herself knew only half of it. After thinking about it, she made an analogy and said, "It's like the mule cart we usually ride in. The mule pulls it forward. As long as the mule There is still strength, the mule cart can run all the time, and we can easily go from one place to another without much effort sitting in the mule cart, and we don’t have to walk by ourselves.”

Old man Wu understood a little bit, but he didn't quite understand how to replace the mule pulling the cart with a power equipment that could push the kite, and he couldn't imagine it.

"Forget it, I'll pay you the money myself, and I won't take it from the public account." Luo Tiandu opened the box, and took twenty taels of money to give to Old Man Wu.

Old man Wu took the money and left in a hurry, and asked her: "What power system is the little lady talking about? Is there a solution?"

"I'm just talking casually, how do I know about this, why don't Old Man Wu go and figure it out?" Luo Tian doesn't really understand these things, even if he knows a little bit, he knows what's going on and doesn't know why, so he simply doesn't say it, so as not to mislead him. .As long as Luo Tian thought about the power device honestly and didn't pester himself, everything would be fine. If he could really come up with a solution, it would be great.

Old Man Wu had finally met someone who was knowledgeable, and Luo Tian was not like others, he regarded him as a lunatic. My son was busy, so I had to leave for now.

Luo Tian was afraid that he would take the test rashly, so he chased him out: "Old Man Wu, don't use a living person to test the flight if you haven't figured it out."

"Oh, I got it." Carpenter Wu had already walked far away, so he replied from a distance.

Luo Tian was really worried, the whole room was full of clueless people.

The weather is gradually getting hotter, and the temperature here in Ba Xun is much hotter than that in Huaxi and Shangjing.In June, the house was already as hot as a steamer, and mosquitos flew in at night with the windows open, and the buzzing sound seemed to be flying around my ears. The heat was unbearable after hanging the gauze, which was really painful.

Luo Tian couldn't sleep well at night, and he didn't have much energy during the day, he lost his appetite, and couldn't even eat. Luo Ming saw it, and couldn't help but feel anxious. He asked everywhere for something delicious and appetizing, for fear that Luo Tian would be hungry broken.

One day, Luo Tian woke up, and the sun was already high.She couldn't sleep at night, only in the morning after boxing, when the weather was still cold, she could sleep for a while and go back to the cage.Knowing that she was afraid of the heat, Fang didn't call her in the morning. Seeing that she woke up, she hurriedly brought her breakfast.

Seeing that she didn't have much appetite, Mrs. Fang had boiled porridge these days, let her eat some with some homemade pickles when left to cool.

Luo Tiandu could only drink half a bowl of porridge in the morning, and only water at noon and night, without eating anything.

After finishing the porridge, she picked up a bowl and went to the kitchen. She saw an extra basket under the kitchen table, and asked, "What is this?" When she found it, she found a basket of fresh lychees, which were obviously freshly picked. There are still branches and leaves attached to it.

Luo Mingdu said: "Someone brought them over this morning. I think you can't eat. I remembered that you can eat some of these melons and fruits. I asked someone to pick them fresh from the mountains."

Luo Tiandu fetched water with a wooden basin, washed a basin of lychees, picked up one and peeled off the shell, and ate it. The lychee was small in size, but the core inside was not small, but the taste was not bad, it was juicy and sweet. It tastes good.

Mrs. Fang heard the two sisters talking, and when she came in, she saw a large pile of lychee shells on the table, and said: "Eat lychees and get angry, you should eat less, or eat more."

Luo Tian ate half of the bowl and couldn't hold it in his stomach, so he didn't eat any more.

Yi County is located in the southeast, and this season is when the melons and fruits are ripe. There are litchi and longan all over the mountains and plains, and there are also many plums and apricots.

Now the Luo family has quite a reputation in the hearts of the people in Yi County. When Luo Baisu is free, he also goes to the fields with the people, especially that old man Liu, who is really a good farmer. The experience is very popular.Because the little lady of the grandfather in the county is not used to the weather here, she can't stand the heat and can't eat. After learning that she likes to eat some melons and fruits, people often go to the mountains to pick some fresh melons and fruits to send to the yamen.

Luo Tian didn't want to take advantage of people, and if he wanted to give them money, no one was willing to ask for it. According to their original words, the grandfather led people over to protect them from bullying by the barbarians, and also brought food to teach them how to farm. They are not hungry, this kind of great kindness, sending a few baskets of melons and fruits is nothing at all, not to mention that these melons and fruits grow in the mountains, and it doesn't cost money, just go to the mountains to pick them if you want to eat them.They were afraid that Luo Tian would not accept them, so they got up in the middle of the night to pick them in the mountains, delivered them early in the morning, and put them at the gate of the yamen. When the Luo family got up, they could see two baskets of fresh fruits outside the yamen every day. Still wet with dew.

It is said that troublesome people come out of poor mountains and evil waters, but Luo Tiandu doesn't think so now. People in this era are real people, no more than those scholars, and they don't have so many crooked people in their hearts. As long as the government treats them a little better, let them If they have something to eat, they will be grateful to you and treat you as a living Bodhisattva.

This summer, Luo Tian actually ate a lot of fruits. Needless to say, lychee and longan, there is also a kind of melon called cantaloupe, which is very thin and crispy green, but the flesh is very tender and very refreshing. Still big, Luo Tian would be full after eating one.

Seeing that she likes to eat, Fang picked out the overripe ones, took out the seeds, washed them, dried them, made a ball with the stove ashes, and stuck them on the wall. In the coming year, they planned to plant a few in the yard. At that time, the whole family will have enough to eat.

Now the county government office has been refurbished long ago. Before the soldiers left in March, they even carved two stone lions at the gate of the government office. Although the craftsmanship is not very good, it still means that.Seeing the size of the backyard, Mrs. Fang carved out that part of the garden and used it as a vegetable garden. She planted some commonly eaten side dishes, including peppers, eggplants, and beans. The table is so full that you can't finish eating.

The two new daughters-in-law were drying vegetables in the yard, while Fang was carrying a dustpan and shaking a sieve of mung beans.Because the weather was really hot and the family members were old and young, Luo Tian was afraid that they would suffer from heat stroke, so he ordered someone to buy dozens of catties of mung beans and boil water to drink every day.

The mung beans were just picked by the mountain villagers, and there were a lot of stone pods and shells mixed in. Mrs. Fang was picking up the dregs in the mung beans with a sieve, and soon she was covered in sweat.

Looking at it, Luo Tian felt that it was very hard work. It would be great if there was a windmill, so if you order mung beans, it will be ready in a few minutes, so there is no need for such hard work.

windmill?

Luo Tian's heart skipped a beat, isn't there a ready-made carpenter at home?It seems that the craftsmanship is not bad. The old man Wu has nothing to do all day long, trying to get money from her to tinker with the glider every day. The whole person is crazy. Why don't you ask him to build a windmill to divert his attention? .

The temperature in Yixian County is high, the sunshine is long, and the crops grow very fast. The rice planted in March has already begun to fill. If it is sunny for a few months like before, it should be mature. It really came out, and the mountain people happened to use it to blow rice in the future.

Luo Tian thought of this, so he stopped eating the melon, ran outside, and asked, "Where's Uncle Wu?"

Zishu was also very hot, sitting under the shade of a tree and said lazily: "I am playing with his kite in his yard. Is the little lady looking for him? I will call him." After speaking, he got up and went to find someone.

There were many empty yards in the county government office, so Luo Tiandu gave up a secluded yard on the side to Carpenter Wu to play with his gadgets.Xiang Lan is pregnant, and Luo Baisu doesn't push Cheng Qing too much now. He just stays at home with his wife. Zishu followed him up and down the mountain for the past few days, and it took him two days to rest. Luo Tian saw that he was so tired that he was trembling every time he moved, so he waved his hands and said: "You rest, I will go find him myself."

In the front yard, old man Wu really squatted under the sun to fight his huge kite. He has made great progress now. A few days ago, he tried to hang a weight of twenty catties under the kite, but it flew He got up, but missed his head, and fell headfirst to the ground as soon as the wind stopped.

Luo Tiandu ran over to him and called him: "Old man, don't fight this, let's make something useful."

The old man Wu has been getting irritable these few days because of the matter of the kite. He heard Luo Tian calling him, so he waved his hand and said, "Tell Lao Gan to play for you, I don't have time."

"He can only find iron, not carpenter's work."

When old man Wu was working, he didn't like to be disturbed by others. After being yelled at by Luo Tian, ​​he couldn't continue. He threw away the work in his hand and asked her: "What are you going to do? I remember that among the officials and slaves There are quite a few carpenters, tell them to beat you."

Luo Tian thought to himself, there is a ready-made carpenter with the best craftsmanship at home, why should she go far away and find someone else.

"I want to build a windmill, a grain blower." She gestured to Carpenter Wu, "it's about this high, with a bucket on the top for pouring the grain, an air outlet on the left, and a smaller wooden bucket at the bottom. Make a wedge in the middle, like a waterwheel, smaller and larger, and a handle on the outside, when you shake it, there will be wind, the millet will fall from the bucket, and the ashes, dregs, and other things will be blown out from the air outlet The millet will fall out from the wooden bucket below."

Old man Wu was made dizzy by what she said. After listening to her gesturing for a long time, he didn't know what it was: "Do you have any blueprints? Bring the blueprints. If you gesture like this, no one will understand."
