The next day, Ji Jiu called the two technicians to teach her how to design horseshoes and other equipment. She handed each of them a document. Ji Jiu used his free time to copy it for them earlier. Ji Jiu didn't teach them very quickly. She inquired about their knowledge before starting to teach seriously. Ji Jiu found that they had never really learned before. Their duties in the barracks were only to do light work in the forge.
"Ji Jiu turned his head and looked at the old man's guards in surprise. So he explained the stories of the camp to her. Ji Jiu understood that people of that age and experience must have big egos. She didn't think much of anything. She only had them study with her. Since they didn't have the basics, she would push the basics until they were better than those people. Ji Jiu even asked the guard to find a mechanic to build a furnace for her at home. Since she was going to let them help Grandpa with her work. She really needed to teach them to cover all aspects. Once they built something for the barracks, those things would be able to last a long time and be extremely useful in this day and age.
Ji Jiu also told Grandfather's guards that money was not a problem. Only now was winter. She didn't know if there would be a craftsman willing to come and make a furnace for her.
General Duan's bodyguard saw that the young lady really wanted to build a furnace, but he looked at the weather conditions and didn't agree. Right now, it was snowing almost every day and the roads were becoming difficult to navigate. Even though he went in to ask the technician It's likely you'll get a negative answer.
"Miss, I think if you really want to build it, it will be difficult. As you can see it snows continuously every day, even though it doesn't fall all the time. But the roads that don't have anyone to clean them make traveling very difficult right now."
"Oh, that's it. I forgot to think about it. So for now, you all just stay here. Wait until the weather gets better and then go rent a kiln in the horseshoe-melting district for the three of you. I will teach them more after they understand the design methods clearly."
"Thank you, Miss, for your help. So, I'd like to go tell them first."
Ji Jiu sent the guards out of the house with a heavy heart. When the snow is high, traveling is really difficult. Or should I have my brother help me build a snowplow? Since we already have three small carts, if the small carts can't sweep, use a cart. Big sweeps the streets instead. Should help a lot.
With that in mind, Ji Jiu walked into the room and took out her sketchbook to sketch a picture of shoveling snow the size of her large and small carts. Ji Jiu designed this part to be easily disassembled. She didn't need to use this part all the time anyway. Therefore, there is no need to permanently install the tow truck.
Ji Jiu had set the class schedule for the two technicians earlier and said that she would only teach in the morning. In the afternoon, have them review and write down questions they have to ask the next morning. After all, it was already inconvenient to travel back to the border. So, they were willing to learn from Ji Jiu. They were able to accept her so quickly because of the things her house used. They inquired and learned that this young lady had designed it herself, and that they had built it according to her supervision throughout the process. Since she was so talented, why wouldn't they accept teaching from someone younger than her?
Ji Jiu didn't take long to draw up this section. Then she went looking for the brothers who were probably staying at the house. The weather is cold and there is a lot of snow in the house. Ji Jiu didn't let them come out to do any more woodworking. She just had them build a shed to store the wood so it wouldn't be damaged by the snow.
Ji Jiu called out to Ji Wenting from outside. He heard the young lady's voice and rushed out to welcome her into the reception hall. He also complained to her about why she didn't call out to him. She walked in the snow like this, so much so that he was afraid she would get sick.
"I won't be disappointed, brother. Here, I brought a model for you all to see if you can do it or not. This applies to our large and small carts . You can then use it to sweep snow out of various areas. Let's try it out first."
Ji Jiu handed them the two sheets of painting. She had made two sizes for them to deal with, so they needed two sheets. They looked at each other for a long time and then nodded that they could do it. Ji Jiu then had them take the wood and sit in the hall of her house to do it. She would be able to help watch as they worked on this part. Otherwise, they would definitely be sitting outside doing it in the cold.
The four men did not dare to disobey Ji Jiu's orders again. But as they were about to leave with her, the two guards and technicians heard and volunteered to do so as well. They've been wanting to learn how it works for a while now. Many times I have seen rickshaws that actually work. They wanted to do it too.
Ji Jiu only smiled at them but did not dissuade him. When they want to do it. She let them do it. The work will be completed quickly as well.
"Ji Wenting's group only spent one and a half days building the snow shovel. They completed the trials of assembling large and small carts. During the snow-plowing experiment, Kang's house also came to see it. When I saw that all four cars were working well, Everyone smiled a lot. Now they don't have to bother cleaning up the snow themselves. With such a power-saving machine, removing snow from the walkways in the house would be more convenient. Ji Jiu also divided the work between two people in the house to sweep snow in the village. When villagers walk around, it will be a little more convenient than before.
Everyone saw that there were no further orders and went their separate ways to do their own work. Ji Jiu also went to Aunt Qiao to see how the smoked pork was. She saw that it would probably take several days for the smoked pork to be able to be stored as a long-term supply. So she wanted to go take a look.
Ji Jiu had not yet entered Auntie Che's house.
She saw A Yu and Gui Hua looking at the fire that was smoking the three pigs. So she walked over to the two children.
"How are you, Ah Yu Guihua?"
"Mother says it should probably take another two days to put it into the warehouse. Uncle Kang says he will build a temporary warehouse to keep the meat separate from other supplies."
"Then that's good. It's been a difficult time for you all these days, Ah Yu, Guihua. If you're done with your work, you can all get some rest. After all, there's nothing we can do in the winter."
"Yes, Brother Ji Jiu. I'm waiting for Sister Guihua to teach me embroidery."
Ji Jiu caressed little Uncle Yu's little head. She liked Uncle Yu's innocent smile the most. It made her feel a bit happier from the lingering pain in her heart.
