Chapter 179 Making a Waterwheel 2

Chen Da Niu is now like a few drums, seven up and eight down, the eldest lady usually does not come to their timber shop on weekdays, the carpentry water is too deep, not long-term immersion in this line of work can rarely understand through, come can not understand, besides, the shop is full of sawdust, walk two steps that the beautiful skirt is stained with sawdust, go back and have to change again, so the owner is reluctant to come over.

What day is today, the eldest lady personally came to the store to supervise the camp. Last time, he looked at this handful of old birds who bought sawdust, and felt strange, how could someone be so kind to come to the door to help collect the manure garbage now, and the sawdust manure was still harmful to the seedlings, and he also collected a lot. It's only been two days.,It's come to the door again.,It's clearly premeditated.,It won't be the lady or the owner to confess.。。 Come and see if you're not swallowing things in private.

"Miss, this is..." It should still be stopped, rather than waiting for the young lady to dismantle her own stage, Chen Daniu thought that it was better to recruit himself first, anyway, if you ask, you can't answer it.

He Baozheng pulled a lot of sawdust last time, and the master didn't calculate the money with himself, not to mention, this worthless sawdust was pulled back and turned into a good thing to repel mosquitoes as soon as San Lang fiddled with it, and he tried it for a night, and he slept really sweetly.

"Master, thank you for the sawdust you gave me that day, brother, you are righteous enough, if you don't want to go back, I will help you pull a cart back." I have a lot of strength to help you all get it back! He Baozheng said with a smile on his face, the old folds on his face were piled up so that people couldn't see his eyes, and he couldn't tell the truth of what this old thing was saying or there was a knife hidden in his words.

Which way should this wife gamble, how to say? It's wrong, but the eldest lady is staring at it.

Zheng Ruoying hasn't been to this store for a long time, and after walking a few laps, the pair of silk shoes were stained with sawdust, and girls love to be clean, and their faces were unhappy all of a sudden.

Chen Da Niu's eyes were small, and he secretly glanced at his eldest lady, and the eldest lady's face was so black that his heart trembled, which was obviously very unhappy, and it was over. What the owner is most afraid of is that the guys below will sell the owner's things as garbage, and then fill their pockets with the money they collect.

"Miss, those sawdusts." Chen Daniu hasn't finished his sentence,

"Lao Chen, in this store, you ask the apprentices to be diligent, you see, there are too many sawdust on the ground, clean them up if you don't want them, and the customers come to the store cleanly and go out in ashes, this will not be too comfortable for others." Zheng Ruoying hasn't been here for too long, so she can't be too casual with these guys who don't know her well, otherwise they will have a feeling of being too casual in their impressions, which is inconvenient for her management.

Chen Daniu almost didn't turn around in a big turn, "Yes!" Miss, isn't it, I just ran into this old brother, I just swept a cart of sawdust two days ago, and there was too much work in the store in the past two days, and there were sawdust all over the ground if I wasn't careful, but I looked forward to the old brother. ”

He Baozheng and Chen Daniu, the two old guys, called each other brother, and they were quite affectionate. Zheng Ruoying didn't want to care about these trivial matters, "Lao Chen, I can trust your craftsmanship, and the Zheng family's carpentry sign also has your credit." Today I have a friend who wants to make something, I don't know exactly how to do it, you cooperate, Lao Chen remember, this matter is very important, you have to pay attention to it! ”

After speaking, Liang Chuan came out, took Chen Daniu's hand and began to shake hands, and said, "Master Chen, I'll draw a sketch for you, and you can roughly make an arc of a waterwheel according to my wishes." ”

"Water wheels? I've never done anything like this. Chen Daniu's ears pricked up when he heard this, the carpenter was most afraid of the customer's whimsy, thinking of a play, and he couldn't do some whimsical designs, not only offending people but also smashing his own signboard.

"It's very simple, Master Chen, you don't have to worry, come, I'll draw it for you."

Liang Chuan took a piece of paper, soaked it in some ink, and drew a sketch on the paper. Strictly speaking, the wooden board circle painted by Liang Chuan is a regular polygon, with several plates of moderate length connected from end to end, and the tenon is sleeved, and the wooden planks are still straight, and the pieces are connected together to form a polygon. The more difficult thing is the angle between the two planks, and the carpenter will do it himself.

Liang Chuan finished drawing on the paper, Chen Daniu knew at a glance, this is indeed easier, he just doesn't understand whether this can be used as a waterwheel. There are a lot of planing in the wooden brand shop, as long as you dig out a few joints and mortise and tenon joints, he and his apprentices will work together, and they should be able to do it in one day.

Chen Daniu had a bottom in his heart, but he didn't dare to boast about Haikou, and said seriously: "Miss, this is estimated to be completed in a day or two, are there any others?"

Liang Chuan drew a scroll made of logs, on which a good hole was dug. "Master Chen, these holes should be dug a little deeper, and when the time comes, I will insert a bamboo pole into it to support the round of wood I just drawn."

Liang Chuan said the general meaning, and Chen Daniu understood that this work can be done for the apprentice, because it is not a very delicate work, and the introductory craft can be completed.

Zheng Ruoying explained to Chen Daniu again and again, "Master Chen's matter is very important, I must see what Liang Chuan wants tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you are the master in our store, you can't let me down." ”

"Miss, don't worry, other things can be slowed down, the eldest lady's business is my business, I will do my best." Chen Daniu's kung fu is quite good.

"Master Chen, then I'll let Liang Chuan and them pick it up tomorrow, you can just make the materials and let them transport them away." Don't take their money tomorrow. ”

"Got it, Miss."

The location of the waterwheel is also a very important factor, if there is no current, it is impossible for the waterwheel to turn.

The group drove a horse-drawn cart to the north bank of the South Creek in an ox cart, and the height difference between the north bank and the south bank was too large, and the waterwheel could only be erected on the river beach.

The place where Liangchuan puts the fish basket is a good place, and the horse egg happens to be guarding the fish basket by the river.

"Third brother, you came to get the fish basket yourself so early today." Ma Dan opened his mouth and called Brother Liang Chuan, He Baozheng didn't expect that Liang Chuan's fish came from here, so many fish every day, they could open a fish stall.

"Ma Dan, you go to the side to play first, we are not taking a fish basket, we are going to make a water wheel." Liang Chuan was afraid that these children would be lively, and something would happen later, saying that he had brought the children badly.

The riverbed under the shallows of the river is covered with a shallow layer of sand, and the firmness of the riverbed can be clearly felt when stepping on it, and the hard piles supporting the wheel axle of the waterwheel are best driven on the top of this riverbed, so that there is no need to worry about displacement or the foundation frame is not firm, and the waterwheel will be damaged.

Liang Chuan said to Zheng Ruoying: "You go to find a few small workers in the past two days, move some stones here in the river to build up, make a river channel to divide the water, and then dig the waterway of the waterwheel deep, and the waterwheel draft must also be at a certain depth, so that the bamboo tube on the waterwheel can be connected to the river." ”

Zheng Ruoying tilted her head, and heard in the clouds, what to eat and what to divide the water, how could it be so troublesome! She knows a little bit of poetry and books, can write a few words, helps run a few stores, does a little business, has never been exposed to any agricultural knowledge, where do you know what the hell Liang Chuan is talking about.

Liang Chuan saw that her head was big, shook his head and said, "You are responsible for calling people over, and I will command what work to do." ”

Zheng Ruoying looked shy, she really didn't understand this, and she didn't pretend to be unaware and refused to do things. Seeing that Liang Chuan was relieved to relieve her again, he was relieved, "I'll call you over as soon as I give you, what are you going to do now?" ”

"Let's go recruit people now, Lao He and I will go up the mountain to cut down the stump."

"What are you cutting tree stumps for?"

"Make a hard pile for a waterwheel!" Zheng Ruoying's character is very good, but it is annoying, what she can't understand just ask, fortunately Liang Chuan's temper is good, and he explained it to her.

After tossing for a day, it was almost evening when Liang Chuan came back from the mountain, and Zheng Ruoying's people estimated that they would not be able to arrive until tomorrow, and He Baozheng pulled two big logs from the mountain on the ox cart. There is also a fork at the top of the log.

Liang Chuan saw that Ye Xiaochai had also returned from Fengshan, so he stopped her and asked about today's accounts. Ye Xiaochai said one by one, Liang Chuan informed He Baozheng and asked him to gather everyone to make bamboo weaving village girls, He Duzheng didn't know Liang Chuan's intentions, Liang Chuan said to him: "Divide the money." ”

He Baozheng felt that something was wrong, so he made the first transaction, Liang Chuan didn't have much money on hand, and he was about to split the money as soon as he earned it, was he too anxious, could it be that the women said something gossiping?

"Did someone embarrass you?"

"What's embarrassing me?"

"Why are you doing the money?" He Baozheng wondered.

"Why can't you divide the money, everyone has been following me for so long, it's almost time to divide the money."

"San Lang, you are a person who does great things, shouldn't you have some money on hand for emergencies, you want to do something to make a living in the future, and it's easy to do things if you have money in hand!" He Baozheng thought about it, which made Liang Chuan's heart warm.

"Now that the end of the month is approaching, since the first business has been completed, let's give everyone a little subsidy first, so that everyone can also have a little confidence in me Liangchuan!" Liang Chuan originally made an appointment with everyone to send money at the end of the month, but now it's almost time, so it's better to let everyone be happy generously.

Dozens of old women under the camphor tree are talking and chatting, and they usually go home to rest when the sun goes down and they can't see it. Seeing Liang Chuan and He Baozheng coming over, everyone greeted each other.

Ye Xiaochai walked over with a basket of copper coins on his back, and the copper coins were put on the ground, colliding with the sound of flowers and cheering, making everyone's breathing short.

"Everyone must know today, today we have made a big deal in the Wanda store, all the aunts and sisters-in-law have worked hard in the past few days, and have made a lot of efforts for me Liangchuan, I can't let you contribute in vain, now calculate everyone's wages and send them to everyone!"

Liang Chuan's words caused everyone to cheer, and the day when the money was distributed was the happiest for everyone. He Lu has always been a man in charge of the house, and the family is also a man in charge of money, where would these big-footed mothers-in-law think that one day they can also make money, or a lot of money.

He Baozheng also has an account on hand, which is the number made by everyone, and it is clear at a glance that there is no mistake with Ye Xiaochai's account. He Baozheng shouted that these women lined up and stepped forward one by one to check the accounts, and then received the money, the village girl's voice was too loud, there was no way He Baozheng called Feng Ying out, stood next to him and used it as a human megaphone, who was restless, he scolded loudly. Feng Ying's big voice is ghostly, scolding people to change their tricks and not stop talking, no one wants to suffer from this mold.

But I can't help but be happy in my heart, there are three or four bamboo baskets in this village, and there are one or two less, one bamboo basket can receive one hundred and twenty yuan, at least two hundred yuan, they have never had so much money in hand, and their faces are full of joy. I went to get the money first, said thank you to Miss Ye Xiaochai, and then went to make a salute to Liang Chuan and said thank you Sanlang softly.

The life of the people of Helu is too hard, they are not lazy, but there is no way out.

At the beginning, everyone was also suspicious, they were afraid that they would do it for nothing, and in the end they couldn't get the money, but they didn't expect to get the money in a few days, and they said as much as they wanted, and they couldn't be sloppy. Since he got his hard-earned money, Liang Chuan's status in their minds has reached a higher level, vaguely higher than He Baozheng's prestige in their minds, and the one who can lead everyone to live a good life and get rich together is the real leader, isn't it.
