Carpenter Li shook his head and sighed, feeling that his wife was not real, "What you said makes sense, but this job is really not easy to do." I've been a carpenter for so many years, although I can make a rough look from a gourd scoop. But this oil-squeezing thing must be strong and durable. If I had done it, it would have broken after a few days, and I would have tinkered with it all day. If you don't talk about it, it will really delay Mrs. Drey's affairs. ”

"Finally, I'll tell you again, we have to be human, we have to wear as big a hat as we have a big head, and we can't brag about it. We can't just take the silver of the Yuan Qing family instead of silver for the sake of greedy for a little praise. Others may be fooled, but the Yuan Qing family is very smart. You got cheap, and you thought others didn't know. Sooner or later, this will offend the Yuan Qing family, and stealing chickens will not make rice. ”

The eldest son also hurriedly said, "Mother, my father is right. Even if we offend everyone in the village, we can't offend Mrs. Drey. ”

Carpenter Li's daughter-in-law had to give up, and she didn't want to do anything beautiful.

There is a lot of water in the south of the Yangtze River, and if the oil is extracted by water, the water-powered mill can be built, which is very convenient for the people. In other places, Liu Paner can't take care of it, but here in Jixiang Village, the water-powered mill must be built first.

With so much rapeseed and a hydroelectric oil mill, the cooking oil of the people in the village can be free.

Liu Pan'er saw that it was still early, so he went to the county seat to find Wang Carpenter and Zhou Blacksmith, the Quyuan plow they made last time was a success, and it was very durable.

His Majesty gave a reward, but only to her and Lord Liu, and not to the two actual operators, Carpenter Wang and Blacksmith Zhou. His Majesty and Lord Liu didn't think of rewarding them, but Liu Pan'er prepared silver, twenty taels of silver per person.

Although it is not much, it is also a piece of Liu Paner's heart.

I just sent it to them today, and by the way, I asked them if they could make a device for hydraulic oil extraction.

When she arrived at the county seat, Liu Paner came to the door of Carpenter Wang, and the leopard knocked on the door.

Coincidentally, Carpenter Wang didn't work today, he was at home, and he was tinkering with some gadgets in the yard at this time to subsidize the family.

Wang Xiaoer, the son of the carpenter, came over to open the door, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Is your father Carpenter at home?" The leopard asked, "Lady Derry of Jixiang Town has personally come to deliver His Majesty's reward." ”

Wang Xiaoer's eyes lit up, his voice was crisp, and he shouted loudly: "Dad, Mrs. has rewarded you with money." ”

Carpenter Wang raised his head, wiped his hands, and hurriedly walked over, and when he saw Liu Pan'er and the leopard, he immediately invited warmly, "Madam, please come inside." Lady, pour tea for Mrs. Drey. ”

Mrs. Wang hurriedly made tea, came out to take a look, and saw that it was a beautiful lady, and she was also curious, how good is this Mrs. Derui? After the last time her husband worked in Jixiang Town, he often praised Mrs. Drey.

The leopard rubbed the stone bench, and Liu Pan'er sat down, "Carpenter Wang, last time you and Blacksmith Zhou made a Quyuan plough according to my drawings, and you were praised by Your Majesty. Now that the reward has come down, I have specially sent you and Blacksmith Zhou a silver reward. ”

After speaking, Liu Paner directly put the silver ingots of twenty taels on the stone table.

When the carpenter's daughter-in-law saw the size of the silver ingot, she knew that it was twenty taels of silver, which could be as much as her husband earned for more than half a year. As soon as Mrs. Drey made a move, she had so much silver, and the other party was generous.

Carpenter Wang was surprised, but waved his hand, "Madam, we have already taken the wages. You also said that the drawings are yours, Lao Zhou and I are just working according to the drawings, and anyone else can do it, so you can't give so much reward. ”

Although the carpenter's daughter-in-law was reluctant, her husband said so, and she couldn't stop it.

Liu Paner chuckled, "Wages are wages, and rewards are rewards." The production of the Quyuan plough also has the credit of you and the blacksmith Zhou. You're welcome, is his house near yours? If he is, let him come, and I will give him a reward of twenty taels of silver. It just so happened that I had something else to do, so I invited the two of you to help me with my work. ”

"Little Er, hurry up and go to your old Uncle Zhou's house, just say that Mrs. Derui has come to our house, and the reward will give you money, and you will have a good job." Hearing this, the carpenter's daughter-in-law hurriedly took the silver, "Thank you, Madame, for the reward, we are good at carpentry work in making farm tools." If there is anything, you may be told. ”

Wang Xiaoer responded crisply, "Got it, mother." ”

After that, he ran away, and he was finally able to go out and play.

When the carpenter saw that his wife had already put away the silver, he could not be polite, and it was not good to snatch the silver from his wife, it was too ugly.

Carpenter Wang looked embarrassed, "Thank you, Madame, for the reward." I don't know what farm tools Madame wants to do when she comes here this time? ”

Animal power Liu Pan'er chuckled, with a smile in her eyes, "In fact, it is a large-scale farm tool, and it takes a lot of manpower to extract oil, which is the most scarce thing in our Jixiang Town." Seeing that the rapeseed in our town was about to ripen, it was not cost-effective to sell the rapeseed directly, so I wanted to build an oil mill in the village, without manpower and water. I have already drawn the drawings, but the strength of the things needed for oil extraction is high, and I am not sure, so I want to ask Carpenter Wang and Blacksmith Zhou to help. ”

Hearing this, Carpenter Wang's eyes lit up and became even more curious, "Madam, can you show me the drawings?" Without the consent of the lady, it will never be spread out. ”

Liu Paner smiled, "This thing is simple, others can learn it when they see it, but the production process is demanding, and if you want to be strong and durable, it takes a lot of effort." ”

After speaking, Liu Paner looked at the leopard.

The leopard put a wooden box on the table and took out a few drawings from it, "Carpenter Wang, please take a look." ”

Carpenter Wang wiped his hands, then took it, put it on the table, and read it carefully. There are seven drawings in total, and after reading them, he understands.

"Madam, your drawings are wonderful!" Carpenter Wang said with a smile, "Use the water flow at a high place to impact the waterwheel, drive the gears, and then turn the oil extraction machine, and you can press the oil." It can also adjust the size of the water flow, which really saves manpower and animal power. It's just that Madam, like you just said, these things are very strong, and it costs a lot to make them strong and durable. ”

Liu Paner said with a smile: "Since I want to do it, I naturally have to do a good job, which is convenient for myself and the villagers." ”

At this time, Blacksmith Zhou, who had been notified, also came, panting and running over.

Seeing that Carpenter Wang had been looking at the drawings, he didn't have time to say hello to Liu Paner, so he followed.

After a while, Blacksmith Zhou said, "Madam, do you want to make something that squeezes oil by hydraulic power?" ”

Liu Pan'er nodded, "Yes, if there is nothing to do, then you should come to my Jixiang Village as soon as possible, and the salary will still be given according to the previous payment, and I will provide the materials." If you need to buy something, you make a list, and I will send someone to buy it. ”

Blacksmith Zhou nodded, "Then I can make a list for Mrs. now, and when I go back tomorrow, I will take it to Jixiang Village for you." ”

Liu Paner smiled: "Okay, thank you." By the way, leopard, give His Majesty's reward to Blacksmith Zhou. ”

Blacksmith Zhou was very happy when he heard that there was a reward, and thanked him again and again, "Thank you, madam." ”

Doing things for Mrs. Drey, the salary is high, and the reward is also high. If you finish the work of other people today, you will be able to go to Jixiang Village tomorrow to do things.
