393 Tricky
On the wooden board, there was a horizontal block drawn on it. The four-wheeled wooden board could be pushed forward or pulled backward.
This was a simple enough design for Yifu to understand, and it was done quickly.
Jiang Yue was also thinking of a simple cart. It was the kind of simple cart from her world, but it was all made of wood. She knew what kind of past he had, so she was not surprised at all that he had drawn it before she could describe it in detail.
“Yes, that’s it.” After a pause, she continued, “If it’s for adults, we can make this cart slightly bigger, but it has to be easy to carry. If it’s for children, then the horizontal bar must be shorter.”
The first part of her sentence was still alright, but the last part of her sentence was a little tricky to understand.
Xue Yan was silent for a while, then nodded, “With Sifu’s personality, it’s very likely that he’ll count us in and make us sell ice as well. How about this, I’ll draw two different sizes of the cart, one for the adults at home and one for us. That way they can make two.”
She was too young to push a cart. Even if Sifu wanted her to sell the ice, he would want her to sell it with Xue Yan. The small cart only needed to be suitable for Xue Yan to push around.
If he couldn’t push it, she would naturally help, so it wouldn’t be a big problem.
Jiang Yue nodded. Then Xue Yan started to draw.
Not only was the structure drawn in detail, but the sizing was also very detailed. However, Yifu was illiterate, so he would still have to come and explain the details when the time came.
Jiang Yue felt that this was one of Xue Yan’s abilities that were very helpful.
An ordinary person would know what an object looked like, but it would be difficult for them to know what kind of structure it was made up of. However, he could immediately explain it well. It was as if an object had been broken down into various structures in his mind and placed in front of him.
He succeeded in drawing everything in one try. He could even calculate the size in his mind, and the measurements of every part were accurate.
It was amazing to have such an ability. At least, she couldn’t do that even if she tried. Even if she could come up with the final picture, she wouldn’t be able to know the measurements in one go as smoothly as he did. She would definitely have to go through several calculations to avoid making mistakes, but he got them all right in one go and didn’t even need to double-check anything.
After Xue Yan finished, Jiang Yue went to take a shower and went to bed.
Because the weather was getting hotter than the past few days, Li Hehua had changed her straw mat and let her sleep on the bamboo mat. The bamboo mat was much cooler than the straw mat.
The next day, after breakfast, Xue Sifu drove the ox cart to town to buy the materials and ingredients needed. Xue Dafu, Xue Erfu, and Xue Sanfu went to finish up the workshop’s wall and to install the gate. This wasn’t a lot of work, so it was enough for just the three of them to work on it. Li Qingshu and the others only worked for their family until yesterday, but before Xue Dafu, Xue Erfu, and Xue Sanfu went to the workshop, they had asked Liu Guixia to send their wages to Li Qingshu and the others.
Li Qingshu and the others had worked for half a month, and it was all hard-earned money. This money couldn’t be earned somewhere else. Liu Guixia also felt that it was right to pay them as much as they worked. After breakfast, she let Li Hehua wash the dishes, and she gave Li Qingshu and the others half a month’s salary.
After the payment was sent back, Liu Guixia, Li Hehua, and Xue Wufu sent the soaked and dried early rice to the workshop to be ground into rice flour by the stone mill.
On the other hand, Xue Yifu had been assembling the small wooden blocks into bowls since early in the morning.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn’t stay idle either. They went to the bamboo forest and cut down a dozen bamboos that were suitable to be made into popsicles, as well as a few big ones for sticks.
