Chapter 239: Niu Dali
"Okay, you can help with the letter to the second child. As for me, I have to hurry back to the village, the village is going to build a water wheel, I have to find someone to work! ”
His own judgment has already informed Zuoqiu, as for whether Zuoqiu wants to do something, it is no longer up to Old Man Xu to influence. After all, although they are married, each of them is an individual.
Besides, no one knows if there will really be a big drought.
Old man Xu is ready to leave.
Zuoqiu stopped him and said, "Big brother, do you really think there will be a big drought?" ”
"Am I going to lie to you about this?"
"How idle do you think I am, so I will go to the county seat to tell you about this?"
Old Man Xu was a little unhappy.
Zuoqiu hurriedly said: "Big brother, it's not that I don't believe you. It's just that this matter is very important, even if I want to take the courage to do something, I have to think about the way back, right? ”
"That's right!"
Old Man Xu smiled and said, "Nacheng, I don't dare to pack a ticket with you for this matter, but at least there is a seventy percent chance that there will be a big drought this year." ”
"Good!"
Listening to Old Man Xu's words, Zuoqiu also made up his mind in his heart.
It is impossible for the county government to come forward to build water conservancy, but if the local villages and clans want to do something on their own, then it is not something that he Zuoqiu needs to ask about.
Old man Xu left the county government and did not go back to the village directly, but went to a miscellaneous street in the eastern part of Anshun County.
Waterwheels are not something that anyone can build.
Here in Anshun County, there are not many people who can repair waterwheels.
Coincidentally, Mr. Xu happened to know such a person.
It's just an ordinary person, even if he knows that this person can build a waterwheel, he probably won't dare to come to the door to invite him.
Because, this one runs a coffin shop.
He is more famous for his coffins than for building waterwheels.
When Old Man Xu walked into Lao Niu's coffin shop, the apprentice in the coffin shop immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Old man, do you want to set a longevity material for yourself, or give your parents ......?"
"I don't want Shoucai, I'll find your master!"
Old Man Xu smiled and interrupted the apprentice's questioning.
"Then wait a minute, the master hasn't gotten up yet!"
"What?!"
Hearing the apprentice's answer, Old Man Xu blew up directly.
But soon, Old Man Xu came to the backyard of the coffin shop.
"Niu Dali, the sun is drying your ass, you get out of here!"
The old cow coffin shop, the owner's name is so simple.
Bull vigorous!
And not long after Old Man Xu shouted, a bald and burly man walked into the coffin shop from the backyard.
"Which turtle son is calling Lao Tzu?"
"Turtle son?"
Old Man Xu smiled and appeared in front of Niu Dali.
The moment he saw Old Man Xu, Niu Dali was instantly dumbfounded, changed his face in an instant, and approached with a smile on his face.
"Xu, big brother, oops, big brother, why are you it, you didn't say it earlier, my fault, my fault, slap the mouth, slap the mouth!"
The burly cow vigorously approached Old Man Xu and pretended to slap his two mouths.
Old Man Xu rolled his eyes, looked at each other with a smile, and said, "It's not that I said you, you have taken a little apprentice here, why do you still sleep until your ass basks in the sun!" ”
"Big brother, it's really no wonder that I'm a little brother!"
Niu Dali's face was melancholy, "I haven't had any business recently, I'm idle all day, why don't I get up from sleep?" Is it staring at the two pillars with big eyes? ”
"By the way, this is Erzhuzi, my nephew!"
"Erzhuzi, come, this is your uncle and my eldest brother, you just call uncle!"
"Hello uncle!"
Niu Erzhu hurriedly saluted Old Man Xu respectfully.
"Learn from your uncle!"
Old Man Xu smiled and waved his hand.
"Erzhuzi, hurry up, go take out the box of tea leaves in my room and brew it!"
After Niu Erzhu saluted Old Man Xu, Niu Dali quickly supported the other party to make tea.
"No need to bother!"
Old Man Xu shook his head, "I'm here to ask you to go to Lingshui Village to help fight two waterwheels!" ”
"Two?!"
Niu Dali was stunned, glared at Old Man Xu, and said, "Big brother, do you also think there will be a drought this year?" ”
"What's wrong? Who else thinks there is going to be a drought? ”
"Who else could it be? My old man! ”
Niu Dali pursed his lips, "You don't know, a few days ago, my old man told me that there will be a big drought this year, so let me save more grain." ”
"Did you save it?"
"What's in it?"
Niu Dali replied disapprehantly, "I always thought that my old man was confused." Now, big brother, you also think that there is going to be a drought, and it looks like I have to save some food! ”
"I have food in my hand, and I don't panic!"
"I really don't want to experience the second time I was hungry that year!"
Niu Dali also experienced the great drought 20 years ago.
And his acquaintance with Mr. Xu was also because of that great drought. Both of them went into the mountains to hunt and find food. For the sake of a skinny stupid roe deer, a big fight.
In the end, Mr. Xu was a step ahead of his skills and cleaned up Niu Dali's obedience.
The two didn't know each other either, and they became brothers with a very good relationship.
These festivals are also often in contact with each other.
"Then you grab some tight food and give you a day today, is that enough?"
Old Man Xu is not polite to Niu Dali at all.
They are friendships that don't fight and don't know each other, or rather fateful friendships.
The stupid roe deer at the beginning, although Old Man Xu won the battle, he still divided it into two and gave Niu Dali half of it.
"Where to use a day, half a day is enough!"
Niu Dali smiled, "I'll go buy grain later." Go to Lingshui Village in the afternoon, big brother, you have to take care of the food! ”
"I've heard that my eldest nephew's cooking skills are not bad now."
"You're well-informed!"
Old Man Xu was also speechless.
Niu Dali laughed proudly and said, "Big brother, the people take food as the sky, what kind of well-informed am I!" ”
"You're!"
Old Man Xu waved his hand, "Don't say it, I have to go back quickly." I'll take someone to the river to move the wood or something, and when you get there, I'll talk about how to get it. ”
"Cheng, Cheng!"
Niu nodded vigorously, even if the matter was settled.
As for the wages for building the waterwheel, there is no need for Old Man Xu to discuss with Niu Dali.
To do this, there is a market price here.
After getting the master who built the waterwheel, Old Man Xu hurried back to Lingshui Village.
As a result, as soon as Old Man Xu came out of the miscellaneous street, he saw several carriages rolling from the east city gate.
A flag on the carriage was unfurled in the wind.
On the flag, there is a huge "Xu" character, which is very eye-catching.
