Chapter 14: The Wheel of Fortune and the Big Brother and the Third Brother

Early in the morning of the second day, Di Yong took dozens of craftsmen to Deganjia Village, and Gan Qi had already drawn the drawings last night.

The drawings are also simple, ram the earth first around a circle, and use the rammed earth to ram the high wall, the outside is the high wall, the inside is the ladder, and the ladder is the stand. After the rammed earth works are completed, the masonry is laid inside and out, and a shed is built on top of the stands.

The construction process is actually simple, similar to the construction of a city wall. The city walls are also made of this kind of workmanship, rammed earth inside, and masonry outside. The walls of the north-western frontier, even if they were only rammed earth and not made of masonry, were extremely strong and durable.

After a little measurement, the craftsmen began to dig the foundation.

Not far from the entrance of the village, Gan Sanye looked at the heat here, and his face was extremely ugly.

Gan Zheng on the side said: "Father doesn't have to be like this, there is Gan Qi good fruit to eat, how can those people who watch sumo wrestling in the city go around the long road to see outside the city?" He spent a lot of money to build a sumo wrestling ring, and when the time came, he was afraid that he would really have to sell his business to live. ”

Gan Sanye's face really looked good when he heard this, and said: "My son is right, then let's just wait and watch him build the family business, don't be unpredictable when the time comes." ”

Gan Sanye also chewed the words, Gan Zheng was already watching the play, and said: "Father, but the villain has Zhier." ”

Gan Sanye was in a good mood, waved his hand and said: "Son, you should go back to the prison as soon as possible, the gentleman has great ambitions, and he will definitely come back with a meritorious name, and as a father, I hope that you can get an official body." ”

Gan Zheng nodded, said goodbye and left.

In the field by the wharf, Gan Qi arranged the measurement of the foundation and then returned home.

There are also a lot of drawings on the bookcase at home, which are much more elaborate and cumbersome than the drawings of the sports field, and Gan Qi stayed up all night last night to draw this thing.

The Ganba people waited on the sidelines.

It didn't take long for Gan Qi to sort out the drawings, and after looking at them repeatedly, he took Gan Ba out of the house and went straight to the dock.

The wharf is still full of people, the sound of shops selling is constant, there are babbling tunes in the teahouse restaurant, and you can hear the storyteller's voice and color from time to time.

Gan Qi went straight to a blacksmith shop, and Gan Ba followed behind him, not looking at the road, staring at the drawings in Gan Qi's hand all the time, and he couldn't understand why.

The blacksmith was also an old man, shirtless, pushing and pulling the bellows, and the charcoal fire on the stove seemed to have just been lit, and the tongue of fire was still blue.

When the guests entered the door, the old man did not look up, and asked: "Do you want to hoe or plow, choose by yourself, the kitchen knife and scissors are under the cabinet, and the pot is hanging behind." ”

"Blacksmith Zhang, I don't buy those, order some gadgets, you look at the drawings and make a price." Gan Qi had already sent the drawings in his hand.

When the old man heard this, he raised his head, took the drawings, looked through them a few times, and said, "What do you want these little iron balls to do?" ”

"You don't need to care about this, the price is that the iron ball should be rounded, and the ring hoop should be strong, and it should not be easily deformed." Gan Qi replied.

What are small iron balls and hoops? This thing is known only to Ganchi himself, and it is called "bearing". Of course, it is not a bearing in the modern sense, but a bearing principle, the precision requirements are not high, and when the time comes, it can be coated with grease and can be rotated more smoothly.

The old man has been striking iron all his life, and his craftsmanship is naturally excellent, but it is also the first time he has seen this kind of thing, and while looking at it, he is wondering what this thing is for, but he can't think of a reason, so he has to say: "If this little iron ball is really round, it is not so easy." Charge you five times. ”

"Wuguan, old man Zhang, how many catties of iron can this use? You're crazy about money, aren't you? Gan Ba heard that there were as many as five times, and spoke.

The old man was also about to explain to Gan Ba how time-consuming and laborious this little iron ball was, and how advanced technical skills it required, but Gan Qi didn't want to say: "If you can do it well, there are not many five times." I'll give you ten, and you have to promise me one thing. ”

Blacksmith Zhang offered a price of five times, in fact, he was also ready to bargain, and when he heard that he didn't pay back the price, he doubled the price, and hurriedly asked, "What do I promise you, old man?" ”

"I invented this thing, and you must not tell anyone about it." Ganqi said that this is Ganqi's trade secret. Needless to say, trade secrets are important.

Blacksmith Zhang nodded when he heard this: "The old man promised you that his words would be decided." When do you want it? ”

"The day after tomorrow." Ganchi replied.

Hearing this, Blacksmith Zhang looked down at the drawings again, frowning, but still nodded: "Well, you can get it the afternoon after tomorrow." ”

Without saying much, Gan Qi took out a string of copper coins from his bosom and put them on top of the anvil of striking iron, and turned his head to come out.

Gan Ba hurriedly chased after him and said, "Big brother, do you spend ten times to do such a thing?" What are you going to do with this? ”

Gan Qi smiled mysteriously: "Wheel of Fortune!" ”

"Wheel of Fortune? What is it? Fortune tellers? Gan Ba asked suspiciously.

Gan Qi raised his hand, ready to be another brain jumper. Gan Ba learned to be obedient this time, and avoided it from afar.

I also heard Gan Qi say: "What kind of fortune teller, didn't he say that he opened a gambling house in front of his head?" This thing is not bullied, it all depends on luck, and it can't be out of the old man. As soon as this thing comes out, the Black Tiger Gang's gambling house will have to close its doors. ”

Ganba, who had avoided the brain jumper, asked again: "Big ...... Big brother, what kind of lucky wheel is really more fun than shaking dice? ”

Gan Qi shook his head, and didn't bother to say much, he had already started to look for the carpenter again, and after looking for the carpenter, he went to the painter.

The content of the painting is also simple, there are more than 30 kinds of lions, tigers, rabbits, cows, sheep, horses, snakes, mice, dogs, turtles, etc.

The more variety of animals, the higher the odds of the prize. You can also divide the grand prize, winning lottery, and small prize, and lose fifteen times, ten times, and five times. I don't know how much higher the multiplier than the dice rolling, and the higher the multiple, the higher the attraction.

After Gan Qi finished these things, he wiped the man on his head, showing a slight smile, with longing and great satisfaction.

Gan Ba, who didn't want to be on the side at this time, said again: "Big brother, I don't understand this thing of yours, I still think those gamblers prefer to shake the dice." ”

Gan Ba said such a big sentence, Gan Qi stopped smiling, and asked rhetorically: "Isn't it just a few numbers to shake around?" What's the fun? ”

"Big brother, those people like to shake numbers." Gan Ba said as he turned his head away, for fear that Gan Qi would raise his hand to hit again.

Gan Qi thought about it when he heard this, and said: "The numbers are not simple, and look at me to give them a 3D lottery ticket, and the winning lottery will be multiplied by 500 times. Shake the prize once an hour to ensure that those gamblers are eager to put it down. ”

"Big, big...... Brother, buy 500 yuan, big brother, where is there such a gambling house, if we lose so much, we will not have a way to survive begging. "In Ganba's heart, this big brother is crazy and unreasonable.

"It's called odds, you know? It makes sense, you know? It's hard for Gan Qi to explain the specifics, so that's the only way to say it.

Gan Ba listened to the steady profit and did not lose money, half-believed, and said: "Then big brother, why don't you call it big brother lottery?" Do you have to call a third brother lottery? ”

The moment he finished speaking, Gan Ba wailed, bared his teeth, and rubbed and rubbed his head with both hands.
