It didn't take long for the eldest girl to draw the improved loom she had conceived. After drawing it, the eldest girl couldn't help but blush.
Chen Ze took one look and felt dizzy.
The big girl doesn't seem to have the ability to draw. It's not a question of whether she's ugly or not, it's just that she doesn't understand what the big girl is painting.
However, Erya was surprised and exclaimed from the side: "Sister, you are so awesome! This shuttle loom looks so exquisite!"
Chen Ze was stunned: "Erya, do you understand?"
"You can understand it!" Erya quickly pointed at the painting: "Sister, is this a spindle?"
The big girl nodded quickly and heavily: "Yes."
"Although it looks a little weird, this must be a machine pole!"
"Uh-huh."
Chen Ze and Qin Jinke couldn't help but scratch their heads.
Sure enough, they are biological sisters...
Erya actually knew what Da Ya had drawn. What was even more outrageous was that Er Ya actually took out a piece of paper and started to draw it by himself.
"Sister, is that true?"
"Yes, we need to add a wooden pole on the left side to support this one and this one... Yes, that's right."
"..."
In the process of Da Ya's dictation and Er Ya's painting, an extremely complex shuttle loom gradually appeared in front of Chen Ze and Qin Jinke.
Chen Ze and Qin Jinke stared at each other, thinking that things were a bit outrageous.
"Uncle Chen, take a look."
Erya hurriedly spread the redrawn design in front of Chen Ze: "Sister is really amazing! The designs of many mechanisms are simply exquisite!"
Compared to this, you can draw your sister's abstract simple design in such detail and detail...you are even better.
"What you see on paper is shallow in the end!" Chen Ze took a picture of the design and said, "Find someone to make it!"
"Ah...Uncle Chen, the ink isn't dry yet!"
"fine."
Chen Ze wiped the ink on Qin Jinke's clothes with his backhand.
"..."
Qin Jinke's mouth twitched.
Obviously there is no need to ask whether it was intentional or accidental...
If you can, don't get acupuncture if you are sick.
Among the Lu family's neighbors is a carpenter, and they have a pretty good relationship with them.
I went to the carpenter with the design drawings in hand, but he was confused when he saw it.
"Erya, is this a shuttle loom?"
Erya hurriedly said: "Yes!"
The carpenter looked surprised: "I have made many shuttle looms, but this is the first time I have seen such a complicated one. Where did this picture come from?"
Just as Erya was about to speak, Chen Ze interrupted: "Master, can you make it?"
"It should be no problem, but there are too many small parts, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive..."
"Just make a price."
"Five taels, how about it?"
Chen Ze directly asked Li Yuankang to pay.
"Deal, get it out for me as soon as possible."
"okay!"
The big girl's fantastic idea has officially begun to enter the practical stage, but it will take at least two or three days to make it.
Not in a hurry to go back, Chen Ze immediately took Erya and Qin Jinke to a bookstore in Qingzhou, intending to select some relevant books for the eldest girl to use for reference.
This bookstore is not small, with two floors.
Most of the items sold are collections of classics and history, poems and songs, and scholars are naturally the largest consumer group.
When the shopkeeper saw Chen Ze, who was dressed in brocade clothes, he hurried over to greet the guest, and his attitude was quite enthusiastic: "Sir, what books do you need?"
When Erya and Jinke came to the bookstore, their eyes were shining. Chen Ze smiled quickly and said, "Go and get whatever you want to read."
Qin Jinke was not polite at all. He took Erya and got into the bookstore.
"Shopkeeper, do you have a map of everything?"
The book "The Map of Hundred Things" was written by the Ministry of Industry of the Great Li Dynasty. The Great Sui Dynasty also added a lot of content, which is equivalent to the status of Tiangong Kaiwu and records many agricultural and handicraft technologies.
Of course, with the development of the times, some technologies may have fallen behind, but they are definitely valuable for reference and learning.
The carpenter recommended this book just now, and he had to buy the Sui Dynasty revised edition.
"Yes, yes." The shopkeeper said hurriedly: "But it's not in the store. You have to have someone pick it up at home."
"Aside from the Map of Hundred Things, are there any other similar books?"
The shopkeeper said, "There are also records of work, plowing and weaving in the Yuan Dynasty, and boating on the river..."
"Okay, I want them all, pack them for me."
"okay!"
Chen Ze was surprised that there were so many books on agriculture and handicrafts.
But that's to be expected.
The ruler must have hoped to increase productivity and make his dynasty prosperous and wealthy.
The shopkeeper quickly sent someone to pick up the books.
Qin Jinke and Erya took the picture book, and the content inside really shocked Chen Ze.
"Jinke, Erya, it seems that your age is not suitable for reading this kind of picture book, right?"
Chen Ze just flipped through it, which was equivalent to a romance novel.
The domineering champion fell in love with me.
The most outrageous thing is that there are pictures. Although the abstract is a bit abstract, after flipping through it a few times, Chen Ze found that it was basically content that was not suitable for children.
Qin Jinke took the picture book and said, "Why is it not suitable? Many people have this picture book."
Erya nodded quickly: "Yes."
"Let's watch together?"
"Let's pass it around to each other."
Chen Ze was confused. Although Da Chu was relatively open-minded, Chen Ze really didn't expect that Xiao Huang's books could be blatantly sold directly in bookstores. They were even the most popular ones in bookstores. They were the best sellers and were in short supply.
Especially those rich girls, if a new graphic novel comes to the bookstore, they will buy it as soon as possible.
The imperial court couldn't help but promote it vigorously.
Chen Ze thought about it carefully, maybe he wanted to encourage early marriage and early childbearing, and guide it to a certain extent through this kind of graphic novel?
Although population was the primary productive force in ancient times, early marriage and early childbearing are extremely harmful!
How high is the neonatal mortality rate?
What about women who have dystocia?
Chen Ze said decisively: "Jin Ke, put the picture book back!"
"Ah? Uncle Chen, don't you just tell me to buy whatever you want to see?"
"It seems that these are not in line with your identity." Chen Ze hurriedly said: "Who are you, Qin Jinke? You are a future pillar of Chu State. You should read some books that suit your identity, such as the Forty-Two Histories!"
"Isn't that what you said? A gentleman must use history as a mirror to see the general trend of the world!"
Qin Jinke was stunned.
yeah?
Did I say this?
Before he could recover, Erya on the side suddenly looked surprised and said with a hint of admiration: "Jin Ke, you are so awesome!"
"Ahem..." Qin Jinke calmed down and looked a little more serious: "It's not worth mentioning..."
As soon as he turned his head, he whispered: "Uncle Chen, you are shaking me again!"
"What did you do, Akira? You really said it yourself, but you said it when you were asleep while reading a book, so you can't remember it yourself. I remember it clearly, right, Motoyasu?"
Li Yuankang on the side was secretly pinched by Chen Ze, and he nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I heard it all, Jin Ke, that's what you said, we were all shocked at the time!"
After leaving the door, Qin Jinke fell into silence looking at the thick history books in his arms.
Unexpectedly, I, Qin Jinke, am actually talented!
