Who understands? He traveled through time with a high-spec spatial ability.

Qiao Jingjing called out once, then stood still and waited for the other person's reaction.

Xiao Ming held his older sister's hand the whole time, standing obediently beside her. Seeing that his sister was silent, he looked up at Qiao Jingjing and asked, "Sister, do we really have to invite this uncle?"

Qiao Jingjing replied to him, "It would be best to invite him. He is someone trusted by Young Master Qi, and his skills and character are both excellent."

Will he come out?

"meeting!"

Xiao Ming blinked his dark, gem-like eyes and asked her in a childish voice, "Why?"

"Because the opportunity is rare. And also because of—passion."

Upon hearing this, Li, the carpenter inside, was suddenly struck by a profound realization and could no longer remain seated. He leaned on his cane and went outside. Having been outdoors for so long, the sunlight was too glaring; it stung his eyes until they watered.

He started working for his master at the age of 10, enduring countless hardships for three years, until his master began teaching him the craft at 14. Now, 30 years have passed, and it's not something he can easily give up. Hearing that the blueprints were unique, his long-dormant passion for woodworking was rekindled.

When Li Xiaochun saw his father finally come out, his eyes reddened as he went to greet him, "Dad, you've finally come out. This girl wants to make something, but my skills aren't good enough. You have to step in."

Carpenter Li walked over step by step, leaning on his cane, and went straight to the point: "Young lady, may I take a look at the blueprints first? Don't worry, you can ask around about my character. Whether I can make them or not, I won't leak them."

Qiao Jingjing smiled faintly: "I only came to visit because I trust Master Li." She took out the blueprints from the beige canvas bag she was carrying and handed one of them to him.

There were three drawings in total. One was a full view of the threshing machine, taken from a slightly elevated angle. The other two were structural drawings. She handed the full view to carpenter Li.

When Li the carpenter saw the clear blueprints, his eyes lit up. He stared at them for a while, then looked up at Qiao Jingjing and said, "Although I don't know the internal structure, judging from the appearance alone, there shouldn't be any problems." After saying that, he handed the blueprints back and didn't look at them again.

Qiao Jingjing's lips curled up slightly, revealing a bright smile, and she said softly, "This thing isn't particularly difficult to make, and I believe Master Li's skills shouldn't be a problem. However, I must warn you beforehand that once this is made, it must never be leaked, or the consequences will be unimaginable." Although her tone was relaxed, her eyes revealed a hint of seriousness and warning.

"Mr. Li, if you agree to accept this order, we will need to sign an agreement. This is better for both of us, and we hope you understand."

Without hesitation, Carpenter Li nodded.

Qiao Jingjing took out two copies of the agreement, and after Li the carpenter signed them, they each kept one. The contract was then concluded.

"Master Li, how much does this item cost?"

"That depends on how big you want to build it and when you need it. You can give me the blueprints now. I'll take a look."

Qiao Jingjing gave him all three blueprints. The structural diagram clearly marked the dimensions of each piece of wood to be assembled, and the overall height was 175cm. The part of the frame that would require metal was also marked separately. The imperial court had strict control over iron, and Qiao Jingjing reminded him of this, but unexpectedly, Carpenter Li wasn't worried at all.

"It's not surprising that a carpenter like me knows two blacksmith friends, hahaha." Hearing his father's long-lost hearty laughter, Li Xiaochun cast a grateful glance at Qiao Jingjing.

"Girl, can I know what this object is?" Carpenter Li carefully examined the blueprints, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

Qiao Jingjing succinctly stated: "A threshing machine."

Carpenter Li was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then looked down at the blueprints again. He looked up at Qiao Jingjing and said, "This threshing machine is truly ingeniously designed. No wonder you said it's unique; it really deserves to be called the first. If it can be manufactured, it will definitely greatly improve agricultural efficiency. If I can make it, it will be a great achievement."

"Xiaochun and I will work together to make it, and we should be able to finish everything we need in about three days. I'll tell the blacksmith the dimensions and shapes we need today, and once they've made them, I'll have Xiaochun pick them up. It will take three days to finish making them, but I don't know how long it will take to assemble them."

Qiao Jingjing nodded, indicating her understanding.

Carpenter Li continued, "Assembly requires sanding to achieve a better fit. Although the process is time-consuming and requires patience, it would be a remarkable achievement if we could successfully build it. I will do my best to finish it as soon as possible."

Qiao Jingjing smiled and replied, "Then I'll leave it to Master Li. Don't worry about the wages; I definitely won't treat you unfairly."

Qiao Jingjing left a deposit of five taels of silver and agreed to return in three days. Before leaving, she said meaningfully to Master Li:

"Everything is difficult at the beginning. If Master Li can make a good start, we may have more inventions in the future. Heroes are never judged by their origins. Master Li should not get stuck in a rut. Shining in his familiar field and even benefiting the community is admirable in itself, regardless of anything else."

Goodbye.

Qiao Jingjing's space also contains an ancient oil press, as well as agricultural tools such as plows, which can be taken out when the opportunity arises. If Master Li can live up to expectations, then many items in the future can be handled by him. Many modern furniture items, such as sofas, exquisitely designed wardrobes, children's strollers, folding chairs, and so on, can all be made.

The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated. Years of cultural accumulation have endowed China, one of the ancient civilizations, with many inventions passed down from our ancestors. It's just that modern industry has further refined these inventions.

Fortunately, when she was stockpiling supplies, she considered that industry and agriculture were not very developed in the past, so she downloaded many related knowledge videos and even bought a lot of books. Her initial intention was to make herself more comfortable, but now, Qiao Jingjing has decided that she is willing to give a helping hand behind the scenes without harming herself.

After leaving the Li family's house, Qiao Jingjing didn't rush to drive away in the carriage. Instead, she took her younger brother for a stroll. Although East Street and South Street were bustling, the real everyday life was on North Street and West Street.

West Street is a gathering place for all sorts of people, so it's not advisable to go there for the time being. North Street has many stalls selling things, which is more suitable for Qiao Jingjing and her friends to stroll around. In modern terms, it's more down-to-earth.

When he was little, Ming was overwhelmed by the sights. He followed his older sister directly to a restaurant after entering the city, and then to a carpenter's house. He had never had the chance to see such a bustling market before.

"Selling candied hawthorns! 3 coins a skewer, 5 coins for 2 skewers!"

"These big, delicious meat buns are so good, you'll definitely want a second one after you finish one!"

"They're making dough figurines! They're making dough figurines! Don't miss it if you're passing by!"

Qiao Jingjing watched as Xiao Shiming stared at the dough figurine stall, and thought of the illustrated children's version of a famous novel in her spatial storage.

"Little brother, would you like to have a unique dough figurine made?"
