After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields

Chapter 92 Building a Water Mill Together

Qin Yao clicked her tongue twice, "I'm afraid even twenty or thirty liang won't be able to fight!"

"After all, not everyone can be like me and can afford such a big millstone alone. If you people in the village do it yourself, it will take at least ten people to make such a millstone. If it is transported to the place, it will also take a lot of time to install. effort."

Wanting to place a stone mill weighing a thousand kilograms, it is not as simple as ten people moving it.

The stone is very brittle. If the millstone breaks accidentally, all the previous efforts will be in vain.

Seeing Wang Yu's troubled expression, Qin Yao smiled helplessly, "Of course, I'm familiar with Shunzi. If the family is not too busy during this period, I can go and help you carry it."

"But there is really no way. My husband-in-law is currently focused on studying. There are so many things at home that I really can't leave."

 The village chief was not surprised that the water tanker came into Qin Yao's hands.

“By the way, if you want to make a millstone, do you still need to find the woman from the Liu family?” the village chief asked his son.

 But in order to give an explanation to the villagers, Carpenter Liu's family still wanted to ask.

As soon as he said this, someone immediately sneered at him: "If you can get two taels of silver out of your luck, I'll chop off my head for you!"

Seeing that Wang Yu was still hesitant, Qin Yao suggested that he go to Carpenter Liu’s house to ask about technical problems.

Shunzi, who was standing in the crowd, immediately shouted: "That's right, there are so many of us, and the cost to a family is only two cents. You haven't seen the water mill with your own eyes, but I think it's worth it!"

  Anyway, after listening to what Qin Yao just said about the power, bearings, principles, etc., Wang Yu already felt that this water mill was not a simple thing.

 Because he had heard of Madam Qin's reputation, the head of Liujia Village and the clan chief had mentioned it to him several times.

Qin Yao smiled at him, "No one will forget you, Shunzi."

As he said that, seeing everyone looking towards him, Shunzi added: "If my wife and I don't have to suffer the pain of grinding for the rest of our lives, I can do it for two taels of silver!"

This speaks to the sentiments of the villagers. Money has been spent, but of course it will only be worth it if we get equal feedback.

Shunzi glared at the man angrily, "Why can't you afford it? If you sell me, it's still worth twenty or thirty taels. At worst, I'm selling myself, but I also have to give my wife and I some relief!"

 Bring her such a big business, if it is completed, she can earn at least five taels of silver.

So, the village chief asked his son Wang Yu to quickly go to Liujia Village to complete the matter as soon as possible.

 The village chief saw that most people agreed to build a water mill, so he finalized the matter.

 At the beginning of the year, Liujiacun encountered horse bandits. Thanks to this woman who was highly skilled in martial arts, she took the lead and drove away the horse bandits. She was a very powerful person.

If someone in their Xiahe Village can conquer it, then it will be enough for her and Liu Carpenter to earn some guidance fees.

Qin Yao deliberately said that he was still busy in the fields and asked Shunzi to take him to see Liu Carpenter.

“Village Chief, we have to hurry up. The autumn harvest is about to begin. If we can build that big thing before the autumn harvest, it will be easier this year.” The two Yang brothers urged.

Qin Yao nodded, "It was just decided a few days ago. You know that your third brother can't do anything, so I thought about letting him continue studying. Maybe he can gain something else."

 The majority of people raised their hands, and Shunzi stepped on the stone and raised the highest one. Everyone knew that this was someone who wanted to join in the fun, and there was no doubt for a moment whether he had any selfish motives.

"No, no, I have to go back. I'll sit at my sister-in-law's house next time." Shunzi waved her hand and refused. He was really anxious to go back.

Carpenter Liu also had a strange temper. He said that craftsmen had craftsman's rules and he would never tell others about his waterwheel technology.

They are hunters. They have just prepared a few acres of thin farmland at home and have planted rice. People who are not used to such work in the fields really can't bear this problem.

Since my sister-in-law can take charge of the matter, why go to see my third brother?

 Remembering the meat buns he had eaten with Qin Yao before, Shunzi left with a smile.

Wang Yu nodded, "Yes, Carpenter Liu also said that the waterwheel was actually a drawing drawn by Mrs. Qin for him. This thing actually belongs to Mrs. Qin's maternal uncle."

Hunter, who can compete with Shunzi? He is shameless, and the villagers are too lazy to continue arguing with him.

“By the way, your third brother is also at home. He has talked about you several times. Why don’t you come with me to your house and sit down?”

 Before coming, Wang Yu didn't even think about this, so he offended people.

Half an hour later, Shunzi ran to the field alone to find Qin Yao and told her, "Sister-in-law, Brother Wang and I have to go back to the village to discuss it with everyone, but from the looks of it, we may have to trouble you and Carpenter Liu then. ”

 Suddenly, the audience burst into laughter.

 With the huge price gap, if the people in Xiahe Village were not stupid, they would definitely choose to let her and Carpenter Liu do the job.

Since Carpenter Liu refused to teach his craftsmanship to others, they had no choice but to ask him to do it.

Moreover, he just said that the third brother was studying at home, how dare he disturb him.

“Those who are happy raise their hands, and those who are not happy raise their hands. If there are more people on one side, listen to that side.”

What if he really took off his clothes and went to the ground and said he wanted to sell himself, what would this big girl and little wife look like?

No, the two of them rushed back to Xiahe Village and gathered the people in the village to talk about the matter. At the same time, they excitedly told the villagers about the convenience and efficiency of the water mill. The big guy who was deeply tortured by the water mill wanted to go directly to it. Grab the water mill in Liujiacun.

Of course, robbing is impossible, it’s just a joke. At the beginning of the year, they could even drive away horse bandits, but they were so ruthless that no one dared to provoke them. “Then let’s ask them to do it for our village. Each household can contribute some money and it will save us some effort.” A villager in Xiahe Village suggested.

Village Chief Wang shouted twice, asking everyone to quiet down, and asked everyone if they were willing to build this water mill together.

"Third brother is studying?" Shunzi suspected that he was hallucinating, "Sister-in-law, did you just say that third brother is going to study now?"

Qin Yao smiled and nodded, "Okay, come to me if you need anything."

Of course, these are polite words. In fact, Carpenter Liu is not stupid. The two of them have collaborated several times and have reached a tacit understanding.

Shunzi was shocked. Just like his third brother, he was so bad at reading!

However, he has also seen Qin Yao's ability. Seeing that she was so sure, he didn't say anything disappointing. He smiled and asked Qin Yao to tell his third brother, don't forget him as a brother when you get rich in the future.

Thinking about the pain of grinding, I just hope that the water mill will be built soon, and then I won’t have to suffer this pain.

So, the village chief told his son Wang Yu, "Then you go directly to Mrs. Qin to discuss how to build this comprehensive water mill, how long it will take, and how much it will cost."

Wang Yu accepted the order, but this time he did not take Shunzi with him, but went with a prestigious uncle in the village, lest the villagers think that he had squandered everyone's money.
