The Transmigrated Farm Girl Has a Cheat Code

Chapter 21 Amazing

Another week passed. Lin's father asked Lin Yu to go to the Ge family to inform them that the cabinet was finished and they could come and move it. Upon hearing this, the entire Ge family, filled with anticipation, came to move the cabinet.

When the group arrived at the Lin family home, Lin's father showed them the cabinet.

The cabinet was about eight feet tall, with a warm, golden color. Its four legs flared out slightly and had a rounded shape, with the bases designed in the shape of a ruyi (a traditional Chinese symbol of good fortune).

Beautiful patterns are carved on the natural red grain of the huanghuali wood. The edge of the cabinet is decorated with a ruyi pattern, the center of the main cabinet features a magpie perched on a plum blossom, and the center of the smaller cabinet features a lingzhi pattern and a plum blossom pattern.

"This is...this is so magnificent!"

"Too beautiful!"

The Ge family was so shocked they were speechless. This was far more impressive than they had initially planned, and its novel design clearly showed careful thought and effort.

"Lin Hai, your craftsmanship is truly exceptional! If this were sold in the county town, it would fetch twenty taels of silver!"

Hearing Ge Liu's praise, Lin's father blushed slightly, feeling proud of his daughter. "These styles and patterns were all designed by Yan'er! I just printed them out!"

Lin Yan smiled at them and said, "Auntie, Uncle, open it and see, there's a surprise!"

"Another surprise?!" Ge Chuanjia opened the cabinet door and saw a wooden rod horizontally at the top of the main cabinet. Many strange wooden products were hanging on the rod, and the horizontal rod was held by a wooden hook. Two downward-sloping wooden strips were connected to a horizontal wooden strip below the hook. The edges were polished very smoothly.

Ge Chuanjia took out a clothes hanger and fiddled with it, asking curiously, "What's this?!"

Lin Yan smiled slightly: "This is called a clothes rack! It's for hanging clothes!"

"Clothes hanger? Never heard of that. But for hanging clothes, isn't that Mu Shi? I've heard of that." Ge Liu interjected.

"Wooden frames are generally used by wealthy families to hang clothes. This thing is just a horizontal beam frame, and clothes can only be laid flat and folded to hang. It not only takes up space, but it is also expensive! Ordinary families simply cannot afford it." Lin's father was a carpenter and knew about these things.

"However, the design Yan'er created is not only easy to make and inexpensive, but also very convenient and space-saving."

Then he called to Lin Yu, "Yu'er, go and get two pieces of clothing!"

After Lin Yu took out the clothes, Lin Yan demonstrated how to use the clothes hanger to the Ge family. When the Ge family saw the two pieces of clothing hanging in the closet, they were so shocked that they couldn't speak.

"This this……"

"Ah, so that's how you use this clothes hanger!" This was the first time Lin Yu had seen how to use the clothes hanger in all these days.

"Yan girl, how did you grow such a clever head? You're so bright!" Ge Liu couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. He'd never seen anything like it, not even in the county town!

"These clothes not only save space when hung up, but they also won't wrinkle and will stay flat no matter how long they're hung!"

“Yes, yes, yes, fold the clothes up when you put them away. If you leave them out for too long, they’ll all get wrinkled and won’t look good when you wear them!” As a woman, Ge Liu’s wife was more sensitive to this and completely agreed with Lin Yan’s statement.

"How is it, Uncle and Aunt? Are you satisfied with this style?" Lin Yan appeared calm, but inwardly she was proud: This is wisdom from at least a thousand years in the future. How could you not be amazed when you see it now!

"Satisfied, extremely satisfied!" Ge Liujia responded repeatedly.

Lin's father pointed to another spot, "There are also these stools, and the table is other furniture, but it's made of beech wood."

Having seen the example of the wardrobe, Ge Liu's wife looked on expectantly, then pointed in surprise at another spot, "Hey, why are there no legs, only noodles?"

Besides the usual wooden tables and chairs, there were also several strange bamboo-woven surfaces.

Lin Yan walked over, picked one up, and unfolded it. "This is a folding chair! You can sit down as long as you unfold it like this. If you don't need it, you can fold it up and put it aside to save space."

The folding chair made by the Lin family was constructed from eight straight wooden strips, four parallel and four intersecting, with the seat and back woven from bamboo. This was all thanks to Lin's mother.

Lin Yan was originally struggling with what to use for the chair seat. If it was made of wood, the seat wouldn't be curved, making it uncomfortable and quite heavy.

In ancient times, round-backed chairs were made by mortise and tenon joints, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Lin Yan recalled that in later generations, most fabrics were woven or made of cloth, lightweight, elastic, and resilient, making them comfortable to sit on.

Fortunately, Lin's mother knew how to do bamboo weaving, so they could use the bamboo weaving method directly.

The Ge family members' eyes lit up: "Folding chair, this is also one of your newly designed pieces of furniture."

Lin Yan opened her eyes wide, thinking, 'Of course not! But folding chairs seem to have a long history! Whether they still exist in this era, she wasn't really sure.'

"No, I saw it in town and drew it for my father to make."

Ge Liu's wife exclaimed, "That's really impressive! You can do it just by seeing it."

"Hahaha, you all must come and join the fun when the day comes!" Ge Liu breathed a sigh of relief, in high spirits, and invited the four members of the Lin family to the banquet when Ge Chuanjia got married.

The three of them then moved the furniture onto a cart with Lin's father, which was then transported back by the Ge family.

The wages originally agreed to be two taels of silver for Lin's father were given to him, but he was only four taels, and he was quite happy about it. He then went home to prepare for the wedding.

…………

With the furniture for Ge Liu's family finished, Lin's father finally had time to make a bed for his own family.

Lin Yan was thinking about how inconvenient her place was. A few days ago, she and her father were busy with the cabinet and didn't have time to think about it. Her mother had to walk a long way to the village every day to buy vegetables and grains from other people's homes.

It's such a waste that we can't even be self-sufficient despite owning such a large piece of land!

The Lin family bought the land at the foot of the mountain, paying for twenty mu. However, the land was rugged and had a hillside, so the measurement wasn't accurate; it should actually be larger. But the soil was hard, making it difficult to cultivate.

She needs to loosen up the soil, find something to plant, and grow more vegetables in the future so she won't always have to travel far to buy them from others.

She's been staying at the foot of the mountain lately, and her wood-type abilities have recovered very well; growing vegetables is a piece of cake for her.

Lin Yan chose the innermost spot, broke off a vine from the mountain wall, stuck it in the ground, and slowly infused it with her supernatural power, watching it grow rapidly.

Lin Yan suddenly missed the days when she fought alongside her teammates, but what they had been protecting and pursuing until their deaths was just this peaceful life now.

The vines grew very quickly, becoming increasingly thick and menacing. Lin Yan controlled them to burrow into the ground. These vines, manipulated by her supernatural abilities, were like sharp weapons, quickly emerging from the ground.

Soon, the land was turned over. She withdrew her powers, and the vines turned into green energy and dissipated in the ground. This was Lin Yan's lazy way of plowing the land.
