Chapter 163 The Giant Goose Falls (Please vote and subscribe)

As soon as Luo Chong put down the spinning machine, Xiaodie came to the spinning machine with a small stool and saw a pedal underneath. She stepped on it without any instruction, and the transmission wheel on the right side of the machine started to spin rapidly.

"Luo Chong, how do you use this? Can you use this wheel to spin wool?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't installed the belt yet. Stay still and wait for me for a while. I

'll go get some butter." Luo Chong put down the machine, got some butter and belts, and oiled the machine under Xiaodie's watchful eyes. Then he put the glued belt loops on the two wheels, and inserted a bobbin behind the small flywheel. The preparation work was completed.

"You step on it first to lubricate the machine. I'll go get you some wool strips." Luo Chong asked Xiaodie to step on the pedal first, and he immediately brought two baskets of coarse yarn strips.

"This spinning machine looks so simple. It's much smaller than the combing machine for rubbing wool strips. It only has two wheels." Xiaodie stepped on the pedal while observing the new machine.

"Come on, let's rub a piece of wool first. This machine needs a lead." Luo Chong said to Xiaodie while holding a wool strip.

"Lead?"

"Yes, it's used for connecting the wire. There must be a thread on it to connect the wool strip, but this is a new machine, there is no thread on it, right? Come on, I'll pull it and you rub it."

"Oh."

Xiaodie rubbed the yarn skillfully. The yarn strip, which was as thick as a finger, quickly became longer and thinner between her palms, and soon it was more than one meter long.

"Okay, that's enough, just a little bit is enough, watch me thread the thread, you have to remember, you will thread the thread yourself in the future."

"Humph, I'll let you thread it for me." Xiaodie turned her head away pretending to be unhappy, but still looked at Luo Chong with the corner of her eyes.

"Okay, turn your head around. Don't you feel pain when you look at it sideways?" Luo Chong lifted Xiaodie's chin and turned her face around.

"Watch carefully."

While saying this, Luo Chong's hands did not stop. He passed the section of woolen yarn that he had just twisted through the hollow shaft of the small flywheel, then pulled the yarn onto the winder, stuck it in a wire groove in the middle, and finally tied the end of the yarn to the bobbin.

"Okay, pull the remaining section, and then start to step on the pedal. Once the wheel starts to turn, you can spin the yarn." Luo Chong threaded the yarn and came behind Xiaodie to start directing.

Gada, gada, as the pedals went up and down, the transmission wheel also turned with a hum. The small flywheel was driven by the belt ring and rotated rapidly at a speed dozens of times that of the transmission wheel. The small flywheel drove the winder to rotate rapidly around the bobbin.

Since the thread ends were tied to the bobbin and could not move, the passively rotating wool could only be wound around the bobbin. The half of the wool yarn in Xiaodie's hand was instantly straightened and tightened. The wool yarn was constantly pulled out from Xiaodie's fingers, becoming thinner and longer, and then constantly rotating, and finally rolled onto the bobbin.

"Wow, you can really twist the yarn yourself, so fast, I twist one strand with my hands, and this spinning machine can twist many strands." Xiaodie looked at the wool yarn that was constantly forming and shouted excitedly.

"No, not several strands, but one, a very long strand. Hurry, hurry up and connect another yarn strip, this one is almost gone." Luo Chong reminded from behind.

"Ah? How to connect it? Do I have to twist out a strand to tie it? What should I do?" Xiaodie saw that the yarn strip in her hand was about to run out, and hurriedly asked for help.

"Don't worry, don't worry. Slow down a bit and don't step so fast. I'll teach you."

Luo Chong took out another yarn from the big basket next to him, pulled out some of the wool fibers at one end, and then approached Xiaodie and pulled the thread. The fine wool fibers, like silk, were quickly entangled by the rotating thread, and then the two merged into one, becoming a wool thread that continued to be swallowed by the winder.

"Wow, this works (⊙ｏ⊙), there is no need to tie it, it becomes one thread by itself, how did you connect it?" Xiaodie looked at the seamless wool thread in surprise, with a dumbfounded look.

"Haha, it rolled up by itself, didn't you feel the thread in your hand spinning all the time?" Luo Chong said, hugging Xiaodie's waist from behind.

"Hey, if we keep going straight like this, it will never break, right?"

"Well, in theory, that's the case, but when the twisted thread can't fit in the back, you have to change the spool, and then you have to cut the thread. See the spool at the back? The thread is getting more and more tangled, and the twisted thread is there. When the spool is full, you have to cut the thread and change the spool." Luo Chong pointed to the winder at the back and said.

Xiaodie picked up another yarn strip from the side with a smile on her face, as if she had got some fun toy, and kept laughing like a silver bell.

"Luo Chong, you are really amazing, Mu." Xiaodie just connected the fourth yarn strip, turned her head and smacked Luo Chong on the face.

"Hehe, I have something even more amazing. When I finish the loom, you will know what is amazing. This spinning machine is too simple." Luo Chong put his chin on Xiaodie's shoulder and boasted proudly.

"When will you make the loom? The machine you made is so useful. I can't wait to weave woolen cloth. When the time comes, I will show it to Am. She will never guess how it was made." Xiaodie spun woolen yarn while looking forward to showing off the woolen cloth in front of Am.

"Well, this may take a few days. The loom is not a small thing. It is much larger than these two machines. It can't be made in a day or two. You can spin the woolen yarn first. If there are no more yarn strips, continue to shear the alpaca wool. If you don't want to shear, I will send someone to help you. You just sit here and spin every day. I promise that I will make a loom for you before you shear off more than 30 alpacas. Is that okay?"

"Well, then you should make it quickly. This spinning machine twists the yarn very quickly. If I finish spinning the yarn and you haven't made it yet, I won't let you hug me at night." Xiaodie said with a warning.

"Heh, who was it that crawled into my arms at night and wouldn't let me hold her." Luo Chong lifted Xiaodie's chin and made her look at him.

"Hmph, don't say anything. I'm not going to pay attention to you." Xiaodie blushed and turned her head away, breaking free from Luo Chong's fingers.

Luo Chong also let go of Xiaodie, and sat on the grass beside him, watching her spinning, and occasionally handed her yarn strips.

The evening spring breeze gently blew across the rice fields, bringing a damp smell of soil. Ancient giant geese that were larger than red-crowned cranes lined up in the sky, making loud goose calls.

Uh ah (*Φ皿Φ*)

Just as Luo Chong was enjoying the peaceful life of men farming and women weaving, the geese in the sky suddenly screamed a few times, and then several giant geese fell down.

"Who, who shot the arrow."

"Chief, it's Shu Da who's back."
