After surfing the internet for two days, Ren Baqian once again returned to that world.
This time, he didn't bring anything with him. When he slept, he wasn't worried about leaving anything behind on Earth. When he woke up, the sky was already bright.
He went out to see how the two little chaps were doing, but they weren't outside. There were bamboo leaves scattered on the ground and a puddle of water not far away. It seemed like they had just left.
Ren Baqian looked around and found the two little chaps outside a cage in the living area of the wild beasts.
One of them was leaning on the cage and peering inside. The other one was rolling on the ground and continued to roll. Then, it hit its head on a rock.
Ren Baqian almost laughed when he saw the guy sitting on the ground in a daze after knocking down the rock.
These two little chaps had familiarized themselves with the surrounding environment over the past few days. In addition, it wasn't too hot this morning, so they came out to explore.
The one that had been rolling was Gungun. It shook its head, ran behind Tiantian, and bumped its butt, causing Tiantian to tumble. The two pandas immediately rolled into a ball. Following which, the two chaps staggered and continued to explore.
There was an extremely beautiful big bird in the cage just now and it didn't pay attention to the two chaps.
The two little chaps didn't go far before they became interested in another iron cage.
Ren Baqian had an impression of this cage. Inside were two rabbits that were as big as dogs and had mouths full of fangs. When the two chaps went over, the rabbit pounced on them and hit the iron cage. It made a gurgling sound from its throat, scaring the two chaps into a ball.
Ren Baqian then picked them up with each hand and walked back.
When he returned to the entrance of the house, he put the two chaps there. In the end, Tiantian hugged Ren Baqian's arm and didn't let go. It was as if it was glued to his arm.
Gungun also hugged one of Ren Baqian's legs and climbed up.
Ren Baqian managed to shake off the two chaps with great difficulty. After breakfast, he went to the fields to take a look. The two mu of land used for seasoning had already been ploughed. A few odd-job workers had nothing to do, so they ploughed the sweet potato field again.
Seeing this situation, Ren Baqian called for two people to follow him back to the house to get the Sichuan peppercorns, sesame seeds, cumin peppercorns, and sprouted sweet potatoes to prepare for planting.
Ren Baqian couldn't help much with the planting. Ever since he was young, he had never even touched a hoe. Ren Baqian told them about the cultivation methods that he had seen on the internet. The five odd-job workers nodded their heads in agreement. They didn't expect that there were so many ways to cultivate. They looked at Ren Baqian with admiration.
As for the sweet potato, it was much simpler. This thing was very adaptable. It could dig a hole and bury it at a certain distance. In the first week, he had to water diligently to prevent the seedlings from dying. After the second week, it would be easier. Until the harvest, he only had to turn over the sweet potato vines a few times to prevent them from taking root.
After settling these matters, Ren Baqian dragged Teng Hulu and Tie Dao to the blacksmith shop in Baishi District to check on the progress of his fan.
"Shop owner!" Ren Baqian entered the shop and greeted the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper looked up at him and took out a wooden box from behind. Inside the box were the fan and the custom-made one that Ren Baqian had brought.
"Take a look!" The shop owner stuffed the fan into Ren Baqian's hands.
Ren Baqian took a closer look. The fan blades were covered in layers of decorative patterns. It was obvious that they were forged with a hammer and looked rather beautiful. If the fan blades were to be sharpened, it could probably be used as a murder weapon.
The bearing inside was also rather smooth. It seemed that there was no problem.
Ren Baqian took out a rubber ring from his bosom and attached it to a rope before pulling it. The fan started to spin as expected.
Ren Baqian's hand that was holding the fan trembled a little. It seemed that the roundness of the bearing was not enough. However, he was already very satisfied with the workmanship.
"Good craftsmanship." Ren Baqian gave a thumbs up and said.
"Of course. My craftsmanship is among the top three in the entire Baishi District." After hearing Ren Baqian's praise, the shopkeeper immediately raised his head proudly.
Ren Baqian chuckled. "Just do as I said before and make another 20. The price is still two taels of silver each. How long will it take? "
After hearing Ren Baqian's words, the shopkeeper revealed a smile. After thinking for a while, he said, "Ten days. The main problem is that the thing inside needs to be polished slowly. "
Ren Baqian knew that the shopkeeper was talking about the bearing. Ten days was acceptable. He immediately paid the deposit and wrapped the two fans in cloth. Teng Hulu and Tie Dao each carried one fan.
After leaving the blacksmith's shop, they first went to Jingyuan Road to see how the most important shop was doing.
When they arrived, they saw that the shop's door was wide open. Two men were working inside.
The bottom of the wall was covered with wooden planks. The top of the wall was covered with white ash. The floor was also covered with a layer of wooden flooring. There were also some chairs and wooden tables in the room. Everything was made of solid wood.
All the wood was coated with a layer of sumac sap. It had a slightly pungent smell.
However, this substance was completely environmentally friendly. Although the smell was a little pungent, it would dissipate in a few days. The coating of this layer of lacquer prevented the wood from rotting easily and also prevented it from attracting bugs.
In this world, only furniture makers would add color to the sumac sap. However, Ren Baqian had completely retained the natural color of the wood. It looked fresh and natural, and it was comfortable to enter.
After standing outside and looking around, Ren Baqian did not go in. Instead, he brought the two of them back to the beast park.
After putting down the things, Ren Baqian pulled the carpenter Tong Jia into the beast park and whispered to him softly.
Tong Jia was more than 1.8 meters tall. He had a shaved head and would bare his arms whenever he was free. His bronze-colored muscles were exposed and he looked more like a thug than a carpenter.
However, he was a carpenter in the beast park. His main job was to repair the houses and beast pens. His craftsmanship was not very good and was barely passable. However, Ren Baqian had seen the things he made and felt that they were not bad. At least, this level of craftsmanship was not bad on Earth.
Ren Baqian pulled Tong Jia and gestured as he whispered to him for a long time. At first, Tong Jia was at a loss. When he knew that they were going to make a box, he immediately said, "This is easy."
Then, they gathered a pile of wood and started sawing it to make a box.
The others saw that the two of them were acting mysteriously and did not know what they were doing.
The two of them spent the whole afternoon making a box with a thin wooden grid in front. They placed the fan in the box and stuck it.
Then, they made another box and drilled a row of small holes at the bottom. Then, they put the cloth through the holes and fastened a button.
Ren Baqian put the box into the box and wiped his sweat. For the whole afternoon, Tong Jia worked with his bronze-colored muscles on his upper body. He kept giving instructions at the side and ended up exhausting himself.
Looking at the weird thing that Ren Baqian was making, Caretaker Shi came over and asked, "Brother Ren, what are you making?"
Ren Baqian was startled by the loud voice. He raised his head and saw that it was indeed Caretaker Shi. His voice was definitely gifted and it was at the maximum level. "Wait a minute, I will show you something fun later."
After hearing what Ren Baqian said, Caretaker Shi smiled and waited at the side to see what Ren Baqian was going to make.
"You, Teng Hulu, go and get some ice from the icehouse. Tie Dao, go and get a bucket of water," Ren Baqian shouted.
After a while, the two of them returned. Ren Baqian grabbed a handful of crushed ice and placed it in the box. Then, he filled the box with water. The ice water started to drip down along the cloth.
Ren Baqian estimated that it was about time. He pulled Caretaker Shi to the front of the box and made it face the grid. "Wait here, I will start soon."
He instructed Tie Dao to place a stool under the box and increase the height of the stool. He then stood beside the box, held the rope that was used to pull the fan, and pulled it up.
