Chapter 53 Five Hundred Ploughs

After Wei Renshi went to the winery to pick up a few gourd wines, the door of the small courtyard of the house was open, and the two people in the door were sitting on the chairs he had asked the carpenter to make.

One sat upright, while the other took a curious look at the chair.

Seeing Wei Renshi walk in, he stood up at the same time.

Wei Renshi stepped forward and raised his hand and said, "It turns out that Mr. Liu is here in person!" It's really a long way off. ”

"You weren't surprised to see so-and-so come in person. You expected that when you saw the plough, you would come running in person, didn't you? Liu Yuxi saw Wei Renshi's smile on his face, so he asked with a smile.

Wei Renshi shook his head, this was really unexpected.

However, after hearing that Liu Yuxi came in person, I felt that it was understandable.

He is indeed a person who cares about the people's livelihood and wants to benefit the people. Otherwise, he would not be so active in Yongzhen's innovation in the future, and as a result, he lost most of his life's career.

It is not particularly surprising that such a person can see a farm tool that can make a huge difference in agriculture and come to it himself.

"I want five thousand!" Liu Yuxi said to Wei Renshi in a deep voice.

Wei Renshi was taken aback when he heard this number.

Before he had time to show a surprised look, he heard Liu Yuxi say again: "But I can't take out so many goods." ”

Seeing that Wei Renshi didn't answer, he said again: "The county government is not willing to give so much money, and he can only come up with a maximum of 200 yuan." ”

Wei Renshi turned his head and looked at the man who had come with Liu Yuxi.

The man looked younger than Liu Yuxi, about twenty years old. There is some bookish air in his body, but his eyes are bright and alert.

Seeing Wei Renshi staring at him, he stepped forward and said, "In Xia Lincen, the word is solemn." I have always been most interested in the technique of this mechanism, and I saw the new plough made by Wei Langjun in Weinan, which was really ingenious, and changed the disadvantages of the plow. I also heard that there is a mechanism made by Wei Langjun in Changgu that can water the fields without manpower, so I want to meet Wei Langjun, and if I can ask Wei Langjun a thing or two about this mechanism, it will be a blessing. ”

"It turned out to be Lin Langjun." Wei Renshi raised his hand and said, "Fortunately." ”

Lin Sumian looked at Liu Yuxi and said with a smile: "I'm just a hawker, and I can only come up with three hundred dollars." ”

Wei Renshi smiled and said, "The two of you have come from afar, and sit down first, and wait for me to make some food and wash the dust for the two of you." Xi'er, let's go get some brown sugar water first. ”

Xi'er nodded and ran out, brown sugar water with ice, ice was made when it was freshly used, and she was already familiar with it.

"Wei Langjun still knows how to cook?" Liu Yuxi said with a smile.

"I don't have any other hobbies, I like to eat my mouth." Wei Renshi replied.

I went into the stove and picked out a few vegetables and vegetables, and paired them with the meat available at home. A plate of braised pork, a plate of stir-fried mutton, a plate of vinegared bean sprouts, and a pot of meat slices in soup.

Pair it with a few crepes and it becomes a delicious table.

At this time, the ice was also ready, and Xi'er came up with the brown sugar water with ice cubes and put it in front of a few more people.

Xi'er went to bring the vegetables and cakes left by Wei Renshi into the house, and ate with Mrs. Tai. Wei Renshi and the three simply sat in the courtyard.

"It's all leftovers from my own house, and it's not rich." Wei Renshi said with a smile.

"The smell is extremely fragrant, just by asking about the smell, a certain person has already had a great appetite." Liu Yuxi looked at the table and said, "Wei Langjun still has an ice cellar at home?" ”

"Freshly made ice." Wei Renshi said.

"Ready-made?" Lin Sumian said in surprise.

Wei Renshi smiled but didn't answer, pointed to the dishes on the table, and said, "Taste it, two of you." ”

Liu Yuxi and Lin Sumian thanked each other, then moved the chopsticks, and when they tasted it, both of them were surprised. Lin Su was surprised and said, "Wei Langjun really cooks a good meal!" ”

Seeing that the two of them were feasting, Wei Renshi put on two more wine gourds and said with a smile: "Among these two gourds, one is a strong wine and the other is a light wine, both of which are homemade, which one do you want to drink?" ”

"Taste the light first, then drink the strong." Lin Sumian smiled.

Liu Yuxi also smiled: "This is exactly what I want." ”

Wei Renshi pulled out the stopper and poured each of the two kinds of wine into the bowl.

Liu Yuxi smiled when he saw it: "This is clearly water, how can Wei Langjun use water to ......?"

In the middle of his words, his nose moved, and his eyebrows became confused.

"Huh?" Liu Yuxi stretched out his head and looked at the bowl.

"Master Liu, Brother Lin, try it." Wei Renshi put the bowl in front of the two.

The two picked up the bowl and took a sip, Liu Yuxi was overjoyed, put down the bowl and said: "Fragrant and sweet, with a long aftertaste, good wine!" Wine! Coupled with the clarity of water, I have never drunk such good wine! ”

"I'll taste it again!" Lin Sumian seemed to like spirits more, picked up the bowl of high wine, raised his head and took a sip, suddenly choked on a cough, his face turned red, wiped his mouth, and said: "The fragrance is mellow, like fire flowing through the throat, fierce!" It's so strong! Nothing else in the world! ”

Liu Yuxi looked up at Wei Renshi and said, "Wei Langjun is only twelve years old?" How can you know so many things and do them so well?! ”

Wei Renshi just laughed, but frequently persuaded the two to eat and drink.

The two wines were mixed and drunk, and Liu Yuxi and Lin Sumian soon got drunk.

Fortunately, there was a dilapidated room at home, and the two of them were helped in, and when they were drunk, the two of them took care of these things, and fell asleep.

When Wei Renshi went out of the house, he went to Zheng Lizheng's house.

When he arrived at Zheng Lizheng's house, Wei Renshi shouted to open the door, and Zheng Lizheng asked, "Wei Langjun came over so late, but is there something?" ”

In fact, it's not too late, it's just that the farmers in Changgu don't have nightlife.

Wei Renshi went in and said, "Uncle Zheng, the last time I went back to Luoyang, I made sure that the master of Weinan County was the person who sent someone to take away a few plows from you before. Now he is here, and he wants five thousand ploughs. But he didn't have so much money, and the Weinan County Ya was unwilling to pay. He planned to buy 200 ploughs at his own expense, and his friends with him paid 300 and bought 500 ploughs to Weinan to promote. ”

Zheng Lizheng sat down and asked, "Then how did you decide?" ”

Wei Renshi said: "I plan to give them the drawings. ”

"Got it." Zheng Lizheng laughed and said, "You still have to come to tell your Uncle Zheng on purpose?" The county government has already shown its merits, and the plough has been pulled away. Sooner or later, it will also be implemented by the government in various places. Besides, does your Uncle Zheng still have the ability to do the ploughing business in Weinan? You can rest assured that you will give them the drawings. ”

"Uncle Zheng's righteousness!" Wei Renshi said with a smile.

"You little Langjun, don't look down on your Uncle Zheng. Your Uncle Zheng also wishes that this plough could be used by everyone in the world! Zheng Lizheng also smiled: "By the way, the matter of those wastelands has been said to be a few pieces for the time being, and the largest of them is at the junction of our Changgu and Xia Village, which is not too far from your winery." When do you think we're going to get started? ”
