The next day, Wen Ning went to the quarry alone, and in the quarry, he asked several people, and Wen Ning found the manager of the quarry.

Wen Ning got straight to the point and said: "I want a cylindrical stone that is about this long, is there one here?" She said, gesturing the ideal length of the stone.

The steward Wen Ning found was a middle-aged man in his forties, because he worked in a quarry, so although he was a steward, the robe he wore was also indigo, a stain-resistant color.

Hearing Wen Ning's question, although she didn't know what she was going to do, the steward still stroked her goatee and said, "Yes, please come with me." ”

The steward took Wen Ning to the side of a pile of cylindrical stones, and said to Wen Ning, "Girl, you can pick one." ”

These stones have not been polished, and the surface is naturally not smooth and pitted, but Wen Ning did not feel dissatisfied, because the stone in her impression is also this kind of uneven stone.

Wen Ning picked one casually and said, "That's it!" By the way, I wonder if the quarry can make a hole in the stone? Just make a hole in the middle. ”

The steward thought for a moment and responded, "Just give the money." ”

"How much does it cost?" Wen Ning asked, "Can that be done?" I'm in a hurry to use it. ”

The steward frowned and thought about it, and finally nodded and responded, "No problem, if you have money, the cost of stone and punching will be a total of two taels of silver." ”

"Two-two? So expensive?! Wen Ning exclaimed.

The steward stroked his beard, not caring at all Wen Ning said, "It's not easy to make a hole in a big rock, not to mention that you are still in a hurry." ”

Wen Ning nodded helplessly, "Then I'll pull it tomorrow morning, and two or two will be two." ”

After paying the deposit, Wen Ning left the quarry, and on the way back, Wen Ning pondered that in addition to the main cylindrical stone, there would be a set of shelves, which would pass through the hole in the middle of the stone in order to be used to pull the stones, but, what is the shelf?

Wen Ning didn't go home directly, but went to the woodworker.

Seeing someone coming, the carpenter smiled and asked, "Is the girl here to break the cabinet or the chair?" ”

"No, no, Uncle Lin, I want you to help me make a shelf." Wen Ning described the shelf in his impression to Carpenter Lin, and said the purpose of making this thing, and finally said, "Uncle Lin, how long will it take to make it?" ”

The woodsman thought for a moment and said, "It's quite simple, if it's fast, it will be made tomorrow." ”

"How much does that cost?"

"The package is 500 Wen in total."

Wen Ning thought for a while, nodded and responded, "Okay, I've worked hard for you." ”

Coming out of the forest carpenter, Wen Ning breathed a sigh of relief, now the preparations are almost done, it can be said that everything is ready and only the east wind is owed.

The next day, Wen Ning hired an ox cart to pull back the boulders and wooden shelves and put them in the yard.

Xu saw that Wen Ning had made such a big thing, and asked curiously what it was, Wen Ning explained, Xu was still confused, and finally Wen Ning could only shirk and say that he would know when the time came.

Two days later, the time for the wheat harvest came, and on the first day, Da Yi got up early to boil water and make breakfast, and when the whole family had finished eating, he took the six sickles of the family and carried the water bladder on his back and set out for the whole family.

The Ye family's original scythes have been thick rusty, and the blades are also blunt, for the sake of wheat harvest, yesterday the Xu family specially asked Wen Ning to buy a few new sickles.

Although the iron-smelting technology of this era is okay, and every household can make an iron pot, but after buying six sickles, it still costs a lot of money, and Wen Ning also had an epiphany all of a sudden, why did Xu ask her to buy a sickle, because Xu didn't want to pay for it herself, and wanted Wen Ning to pay for it, after all, it was a lot of money.

When they arrived in the field, Ye Laohan, Ye Jianwu, Xu's, Liu's, Wen Ning, and Da Wei, all six of them were the main force, and there was also a Ye Zhi Ye Chong, because the two little hairy children were still young, and the adults were not worried about letting them take sickles, so they were sent to follow behind to pick up the wheat ears that fell on the ground and other jobs, and did not assign sickles to the two little hairy children.

In order to facilitate her work, Wen Ning wore a short fight that was convenient for her work, she bent down, held a handful of wheat in one hand, and took a sickle in the other hand to cut it near the root of the wheat, and the handful of wheat was cut.

Now is the time of the wheat harvest, and as far as the eye can see, the surrounding golden wheat fields are full of villagers bending over to cut wheat.

While Wen Ning was cutting wheat, she thought in her heart that she hadn't done this kind of work for a long time, and it was indeed a very tiring job.

After all, to cut wheat, you have to bend over all the time, and bending and squatting are easy ways to make people feel tired, one is backache, the other is leg soreness and numbness.

Modern young people generally have never done this kind of tiring work, so Wen Ning was very uncomfortable at first, and she didn't cut a few handfuls, so she had to straighten up her back and go over and beat her hands.

The rest of the people were focused on cutting wheat, and they didn't notice Wen Ning's movements, but followed behind and asked, "Second aunt, are you tired?" Shall I do it for you for a while? ”

Wen Ning shook her head, feeling that there was no pain in vain in her heart.
