Chapter 18 Bet on Tomorrow with Today
readx;
In the evening, Zhu Chengli invited Lang Zhong over to show Zhu Eighteen, and spent another tael of silver. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info sent Lang Zhong away. Den. Wang Guangxu is fighting next to each other. Zheng Jiu and Zhu Yi didn't say anything. The two of them were also immersed in the moment of witnessing the miracle. And Zhu Chengli was not polite, and he was going to beat Wang Guangxu directly. Let Zhu Lin persuade him. Wang Guangxu hid behind Zhu Lin. The frightened little face was white. It's a bit of a disaster today. So much silver was wasted, and nothing was produced.
Zhu Lin is really worried, there are so many people, seventy taels of silver can't last long.
Zhu Chengli was also so worried that he was holding a cigarette bag and pot and smoking there "popping".
"Uncle Zhu, why did you smoke this. Where did you do that?" asked Zhu Lin.
"Hey, little master, this thing is called Forget Worry Grass, you can forget all your worries if you smoke it, and it's not expensive. There are a lot of them sold in the west of the city, so Xiao Lao'er spent his own money to buy a rod and buy some forget-worry grass." Zhu Chengli replied.
"Oh. Uncle Zhu, it's better to smoke less, and it's not good for your health to smoke too much." Zhu Lin instructed. In fact, I was secretly surprised. Now there is tobacco. I don't know that I'm lonely and unheard. But what can be done if you know it? Do you want to go into the tobacco business. No capital. Nothing can be done now.
"Young master, someone is coming to look for you, please go to the south room to talk." Chang Yulin shouted outside.
Zhu Lin also wondered, who would look for me. The door does not go out, and the second door does not step out. Few people know me! I don't care if it's a blessing or a curse, and I can't avoid it.
"Let's go, let's see". Saying that, Zhu Lin took Zheng Jiu and them to the living room of the south room. The house is a little dark, and since the soap trial failed today, Zhu Chengli won't let them light candles. Two oil lamps were lit, and the flames the size of beans dimmed and dimmed.
When Zhu Lin saw who it was, it turned out to be the fat man he met at the city gate that day. I saw that the fat man had not seen him for a few days, and he was blessed again. Chubby, wearing a longevity shirt and a staff hat. Sit on a stool and give the same to Maitreya Buddha.
The fat man's eyes were rolling slightly, and he saw a child outside the door, followed by five people. The fat man was startled, thinking that he had entered a thief's den. Especially the big man, who seems to have seen it somewhere.
Chang Yulin introduced: "It's this master, come to our young master."
Zhu Lin raised his hand and asked, "May I ask what is the matter with this old man looking for a boy?"
The fat man replied with a salute: "Dare to ask this young master is Young Master Zhu, I have something important to discuss with him."
"It's the boy, may I ask the master what's the matter." Zhu Lin replied. Shi Shiran walked to the chair and sat down. Zheng Jiu and Zhu Yi were separated on both sides, Zhu Chengli stood on one side, and Chang Yulin stood at the door. And Wang Guangxu stood outside the door, except for the wall behind the fat man, the fat man was almost surrounded.
The fat man took a look at the scene. wiped a handful of sweat from his head. said: "I heard others say that the best well drilling team in the city is the young master's well drilling team, and I want the young master's well drilling team to help me dig a few wells." I wanted to find your well-drilling team directly outside. Later, I heard that you don't dig wells, so I came to ask for it."
When Zhu Lin heard this, he was overjoyed, and he said that business came to the door. "Well, I don't let the well drilling team go out to work anymore, the world is in chaos. There are quite a few well-drilling teams in the city, why did the master come to us?"
It's a long story. The fat man muttered for a long time before Zhu Lin figured out what was going on. It turned out that the fat man's home was outside the city. He is a big landowner, originally close to the canal, and he didn't have to worry about the water source. Who knew it was so dry. The canal has been dried up in many places. I don't know what's going on, but the well in the field was still full. There was no water for two days. There is no water, and the crops of the field have to be watered. It turns out that the water of the canal can still be used. Watered with a water wheel. But now the canal is dry. The original wells in the ground are also drying up.
The fat man went to dig a well, but he still didn't see water after digging so deep. Someone told the fat man that there was a well-drilling team in the city. The fat man invited a few over. But no matter how you fight, you can't hit the water.
I also heard others say that Zhu Lin was the first to dig a well here. There's really no way to do it outside the fat guys. Just come and ask. Look at Zhu Lin, there is no way here. Seeing that the fat man was sweating all over his head. Zhu Lin was actually shocked. I didn't expect that a tributary as big as a canal could be considered a lake. Zhu Lin didn't dare to guarantee whether he could get out of the water, so he had to observe the terrain before making a decision.
"Oh, sir, boy, I know. It's getting late now, and the kid knows you're in a hurry, but the kid has to tell you that we don't necessarily get out of the water. It depends on the terrain. Tomorrow you send someone. It's better to have horses, boy, I'll have someone survey the terrain. Let's see if we can get the water out. Well, send-off. The family is vulgar, and I didn't let the old man drink a cup of tea." After speaking, Zhu Lin waved his sleeves and walked out. Chang Yulin sent the fat man out of the door. Tell the fat guy to come early tomorrow.
Back in the study, Zhu Lin pondered for a long time. Everyone looked at Zhu Lin and didn't dare to speak, especially Wang Guangxu. Hiding in the corner and standing silently.
"Let's all go back to our rooms and rest! I think about it again, go back to your room and rest, do you have any way to stand here? Uncle Zhu, you can take a look at the terrain tomorrow. Remember, it's best to look at the depression and the places where the vegetation is flourishing, and the wells that others have dug are also looking." Finally, the pressure made Zhu Lin go crazy.
"Hey, I'm sorry young master." After speaking, Zhu Chengli took them all away.
Zhu Lin took a pen and drew on paper. Zhu Lin drew the pressurized water well with the appearance in his memory.
Early the next morning, it is estimated that the fat man was in a hurry, so he waited outside the door with the carriage early. Zhu Chengli followed. And Zhu Lin hasn't gotten up yet. According to the big-mouthed Wang Guangxu, Zhu Lin did not sleep all night in the study.
In fact, Zhu Lin was already asleep. How can a person who practices Zhu Lin not sleep. The sound of the children getting up for morning exercise finally woke up Zhu Lin. Zhu Lin looked at the paper in his hand. sighed in my heart, success or failure in this move. It's a bet on tomorrow today. I really can't do it, I have to ask my eldest brother for help.
Every morning, the children, including the well-drilling team, had to practice in the morning, led by Zheng Jiu. Zheng Jiu was not there, so he was represented by Chang Yulin. The training content is the training outline given to Zheng Jiu that day. Zheng Jiu sometimes adds some things from this world's army. The well drilling team generally has to practice much more than the trainees. It's just that the nutrition has not been able to keep up, and after eating for so many days, Chang Yulin is still very thin. Except for the big bulls. The children are still full of dishes. So Zhu Lin didn't run many kilometers strictly. Generally speaking, it is to practice the three major steps, and some kung fu. Zheng Jiu still has some ability, and the trainees and the well-drilling team let him take it well. It is quite like the wind, and the feeling of standing like a pine.
Looking at the students with dishes on their faces, they shouted "one, two, one" and walked in unison. Zhu Lin wanted to cry. Zhu Lin felt that he was really incompetent. It's really incompetent. It's like in a previous life, you can't do anything. Anything can be done, but there is no mastery.
Hey! Watching others cross is one person picking the world. Recruit troops and buy horses, weigh and divide gold and silver, take a few beautiful women, and live a happy life with the marquis. But when I got to Zhu Lin, even eating was about to become a problem. Zhu Lin watched and thought silently there.
Liu Rumei came to tell Zhu Lin that all the wax paper had been engraved. Just wait for the ink to print. Zhu Lin's head was extremely big when he listened. And spend money on ink. So he told Liu Rumei to put it there first. Wait until you have money to buy ink. After the students finished practicing, they were taken to class by Wang Guangxu.
Zhu Lin left Zhu Chusan and brought him into the study. Zhu Lin handed a drawing to Zhu Chusan. I asked if I could make a model in the third year of junior high school. The third junior high school looked at it carefully for a while and said, "Teacher, this is a water dragon."
Zhu Lin was taken aback when he heard this. It took a lot of effort in the middle of the night to draw a pressurized water well, and there was actually one in this era. Zhu Lin was depressed and wanted to hit the wall, hoping that he would wear it back when he died. But Zhu Chusan's next sentence dispelled Zhu Lin's doubts. "It's a water hose, but it's different from a water hose, which is generally sprayed with water from the suction tank to extinguish fires. But there's a long pipe underneath this one, which is supposed to suck water up from the ground, which is not difficult and easy to do." Zhu Chusan replied.
"Then you should do it quickly. Something is wrong, change it. Start by making a model out of wood and bamboo. Then I'm looking for someone to build a mock-up." When Zhu Lin heard this, he was overjoyed. Said hurriedly. The third year of junior high school retired and went to Zhu Lin's pressurized water well.
Not long after, the junior high school came in with a model. It is the pressurized water well that Zhu Lin saw in his previous life. It's nothing more than a model. Zhu Lin was overjoyed. And the model made by the junior high school is exquisitely unusual.
"In the third year of junior high school, if you zoom in on this, can you make it?" Zhu Lin asked.
"Yes, it's not difficult, Master, in fact, the shell, the heart of the well can be made of anything, that is, what is the water diversion skin you wrote in the inside?
"Ugh. That's a problem!" In the previous life, there was rubber skin, and there were rubber tubes. There is no such thing in this era. Zhu Lin was annoyed and began to scratch his hair again.
"Little master, please use water!". Liu Rumei came in and gave a glass of water. Poor Zhu Lin couldn't even afford tea. I can only drink water.
"Why is the little master worried?". Liu Rumei looked at Zhu Lin grabbing her hair there, and asked with her big charming eyes.
When Zhu Lin saw those big eyes, he trembled all over. It's too seductive. I'm still a minor. It's just that the age in my heart is indeed not young.
"The young master wants to be a water dragon, but I don't know what to use for the water diversion skin here, and the water pipe underneath." Zhu San roughly explained to Liu Rumei.
"Little master, I'm worried about this. You can use raw cowhide to coat gum to make water diversion skin, and the water pipe at the bottom can be made of copper pipe. What's so difficult about this, look at what worries our little master." Liu Rumei said delicately.
"Ah, oh, okay, I see. Sister Liu, will you go out first?" Zhu Lin drove people away. If you don't catch up, Zhu Lin will run away. Liu Rumei threw a wink at Zhu Lin and walked out with her little waist twisted.
"Junior, you just heard that! This one is made entirely of copper, including the well shell, but the handle is made of iron. It doesn't matter if the price is high. But the copper pipe underneath must be long." After Zhu Lin explained, he asked Chang Yulin to take Zhu Chusan to do it. After all, the age of the third year of junior high school is a little younger.
