Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Pig Goes into the Water
"Sister sister, it's so fragrant, it's so fragrant", Hua Qingqing has long smelled the smell in the pot, and the fragrant herself drools.
Hua Banxia smiled, "Then eat more Qingqing later."
It was not early, and the house began to be dark, but it was still as bright as the sun on a cloudy day, so Hua Banxia moved the big table in the house to the courtyard, and served the prepared dishes with Hua Qingqing.
Because the pork shop has collected all the pigs, in addition to the fried large intestine, there are also cold pork liver, fried pork heart with chili peppers, and of course, a large pot of pork bone soup, and the thick aroma of meat wafting in the small courtyard.
Hua Banxia was about to call Qiao Da and them over for dinner, but before he could say anything, Qiao Da turned around and came over with a piece of paper, followed by a large family.
"Banxia, you are using this thing to divert water?" No matter how Qiao Da has never read a book, Hua Banxia's painting is so obvious, it is difficult for him to understand it, but he doesn't understand the principle of this, so he came to ask Hua Banxia.
Hua Banxia calmly took the drawing, folded it in half in his hand and put it on the table. Qiao Da saw that she put it away directly, and was a little anxious, "Uncle, let's eat first, you've been hungry for a day, let's talk while eating."
Hua Banxia knew that the operation of this waterwheel was completely physical, they hadn't learned it, and it was normal not to know, but they still had to eat first!
"That's it, look at a few of you, you have to tear the good paper", Tian Fuzhen saw the good paper for the first time, and couldn't help but say a few words.
"Hiss......", everyone noticed the food on the table, "God, these are all made by those pigs in the water?" ”
Hua Qingqing helped move everyone's stools out before and after, and then she finished moving, "Of course, my sister can do it, it's delicious."
Hua Qingqing is really a little ghost, she knows it's delicious before she even eats it? "Uncle and uncle, uncle and uncle, brother and sister, sit down, Qingqing has moved the stool."
"Yes, yes, sit down", Qiao Le and Qiao Yi had already sat down, picked up chopsticks and greeted Hua Qingqing together.
The four adults in the family don't care about the table etiquette, they have a lot of work at home, and they eat when they are hungry, and few families eat a meal officially.
Everyone sat down, "This ...... It's all pig water? Chen Jiahua looked at several large plates of dishes with color and aroma on the table in disbelief, and couldn't believe that these were all made by pigs.
"Yes, yes, I saw my sister do it with my own eyes just now", Hua Qingqing replied, no way, the Qiao family's genes in height are too strong, and they are so small that they can be easily ignored if they don't speak.
"Try it", Hua Banxia didn't say much, let them eat it directly, and if they hadn't eaten it, they couldn't imagine this unique taste.
Qiao Le hesitated, and directly stretched out his chopsticks to the fried fat intestines that he had long taken a fancy to, and the color was bright and attractive.
"Mmmmmmmm Because of his eagerness, Qiao Le was so hot that he jumped, but he didn't give up the meat that had reached his mouth.
"Hmm...... Daddy, try this, it's so delicious, it doesn't stink at all", Qiao Yi tasted a piece of cold pork liver, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but beckon others to come and eat.
Hua Banxia felt that there was nothing because she often ate, and she just smiled and didn't speak, and ate silently for everyone at the dinner table to admire her craftsmanship while eating.
"You kid!" Somehow, Chen Jiahua hit his son Qiao Zheng's head with chopsticks, causing Qiao Zheng to look blindfolded.
"Mother, what are you doing beating me?" Qiao Zheng said with some grievances, and looked at his bowl again, "I didn't grab food."
Chen Jiahua glared at Qiao Zheng, "Who said that you grabbed food, look at you dripping all the oil onto your sister's paper, why are you so careless", Chen Jiahua pointed to the drawings in Hua Banxia's hand and said.
Hua Banxia glanced at the drawing, it was a small oil stain, "It's okay, uncle, it's just an ordinary piece of paper, it's nothing."
Chen Jiahua had never seen such a bright and white paper, and thought it was very expensive, how could she not feel distressed, "This is ordinary paper, it looks precious, don't let these boys break it, you have to put it away in Banxia."
Hua Banxia is speechless, this paper is ordinary white paper, when performing tasks by yourself, some places can not appear electronic products, even if you use the space to bring it in, but as soon as you take it out, you will touch the mechanism, so you have a lot of paper in the space, although it is better than ordinary printing paper, but it is not expensive.
"That's right, Banxia, what the hell is done with that thing on paper? Can we do it ourselves? Qiao Da never forgot the thing on the paper, if he could really make it, the crops in the field would be saved.
Hua Banxia saw that there was still some time before dark, so he put down the dishes and chopsticks, picked up the drawings at hand, and put them in the middle of the table. With his right hand, he took out the pencil he had just stuck in his waist from his belt and began to talk to Qiao Da and them.
"The thing I drew is called a waterwheel, which is mainly built on the riverside, and uses flowing water and wind power to push water from low water to high places ......."
Hua Banxia explained to a few people one by one, and the role of each part was explained again, and a few people were stunned when they heard it, but no one interrupted Hua Banxia's words, because they were shocked by such a new thing!
Hua Banxia finally finished the last picture, because the last is the operation principle of the assembled waterwheel, Hua Banxia did not explain it too carefully, just take it in one sentence.
"Uncle and second uncle, do you think this can be placed by the river in the village?" Hua Banxia is very confident in his own drawings, and asking Qiao Da for their opinions is also to respect them as elders, and Hua Banxia doesn't know if there is any land possession right in Qiaoli Village.
"Done! Why can't it be done, Ming'er, Ming'er, let's go to the mountain to cut down trees and make something", Qiao Da seemed to have seen the cheerful appearance of the waterwheel turning by the river, and waved his hand to show his attitude.
"Uncle, we have to discuss this matter again, I have only seen this thing and have not done it, so I don't know if it will be done in the end, we have to find someone who knows how to work woodly and ask", Hua Banxia came here and felt a little empty.
"Seen it? Where have you seen it", Qiao Da felt a little strange at this time, where did his niece learn these skills.
Hua Banxia secretly screamed in her heart, this time she can't say that she has seen it in Huamanlou, otherwise the farming affairs in Nancheng are still so worried. Hua Banxia didn't come up with any words for a long time, and the whole family stopped to look at her and waited for her to answer.
"Oh, okay uncle, no matter where Banxia saw it, in short, it's for our good, Banxia is also a big girl, can't you say anything to us?" Qiao Yu saw that Hua Banxia was a little embarrassed and embarrassed, so he opened his mouth to help her speak.
Hua Banxia was simply moved, and threw a grateful look at Qiao Yu.
"That's it, my cousin is not an outsider, so she won't harm us", Qiao Le also helped Hua Banxia speak.
Hearing this, several elders nodded in agreement, and blushed a little bit about their suspicions about their niece just now, "Banxia, it's the eldest aunt who has a short knowledge, don't worry about us."
Chen Jiahua felt guilty and didn't know what to do, so she picked up a chopstick dish and sent it to the flower banxia bowl, and said apologetically. Even Qiao Da and Qiao Er bowed their heads apologetically and didn't speak.
Hua Banxia's nose was sour, obviously it was her own reason, but it provoked her family to comfort her, Hua Banxia secretly made up her mind, although she couldn't explain it to them, but no matter what, this family would be desperately guarded!
"Thank you, auntie", Hua Banxia was a little choked when she said this, she never shed tears in front of people, she naturally didn't let them worry, lowered her head and blinked, and took out the silver she got in the city from her arms.
After going home for so long, they didn't ask about the silver once, and this kind of trust in themselves could never be disappointed, "Come, this is the silver I earned when I went to the city today."
Hua Banxia took out all the silver, and when I went to buy things today, I had already found the five taels of silver, so what I took out was a hanging copper coin and a few small pieces of broken silver.
Qiao Da's eyes widened when they saw the money on the table, "This... This is... What did you earn today? Qiao Er pointed to the silver in disbelief and asked Hua Banxia.
"No, more than 60 catties of lotus root were only sold for 600 Wen, and I won the extra money", Hua Banxia didn't hide it from them, and told them about going to Chengfu today, otherwise so much money can't be explained.
Everyone knew what happened, and in addition to lamenting Hua Banxia's ability, they were still a little worried about Hua Banxia going to the house of Lord Fu Ya alone.
"It's okay, our lord in Nancheng is a good official, don't be afraid, come, take the silver", spent Banxia dividing the remaining six taels and two coins of silver into piles, and the people who did the work were 650 Wen each, and there were 350 Wen left, leaving 300 Wen for Qiao Zheng, and 50 Wen for Hua Qingqing.
Everyone didn't expect Hua Banxia to share it so clearly, in their hearts, everyone thought that the silver won by Hua Banxia should be kept by herself, and she thought she would share it equally.
"Sister, do I have it too?" Hua Banxia put the smallest amount of money in Hua Qingqing's hand, and he had never touched the copper plate, and Hua Qingqing opened her mouth wide in disbelief.
Hua Banxia smiled, "Of course, our little Qingqing has worked hard to take care of the eldest brother at home today, and if you pay, you will be rewarded, take the pocket flowers."
Hua Banxia didn't give her money because Hua Qingqing was her own sister, Hua Banxia felt that she had to cultivate the habit of spending money reasonably since she was a child, and it was more convenient to have some money on her.
Hua Banxia diverted his gaze from Hua Qingqing, and saw that the Qiao family had not taken the money yet, but just looked at Hua Banxia, Hua Banxia calmly picked up his share, and spoke gently.
