Ye Hao, who was busy in the kitchen, didn't know that her conversation with Lin Bin had already been heard by Zhao Yi, who was squatting behind the stones at the door.

Zhao Yi was already thin and weak, squatting behind a big rock, and he couldn't see him at all.

However, after Zhao Yi stood in the courtyard and thought about it for a long time with his little head, he finally decided not to talk much.

He doesn't know who is in charge of the family? It must be Sister Ye!

Zhao Yi, who figured this out, obediently returned to the outhouse, and under Xie Yunshu's strict guidance, began today's final study course.

Ye Hao is a master who can't hide things in his heart, and after finishing his family affairs on the second day, he went to the city with Lin Bin early.

The first thing to bear the brunt of was to inquire about the news of the carpenter Zuo that Aunt Huang said yesterday.

There is a clear hint that it is relatively easy to inquire about a person in such a small county.

Following the instructions of passers-by, the two drove the carriage to a slightly dilapidated shop.

Not only is this shop dusty to look at, but the location is also quite remote, anyway, it is not much better than Boss Wu's wine shop.

However, the wine shop is the only wine shop in the entire county, as the saying goes, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys!

But the carpenter shop is not the only one, even if the county town of Manyi is small, there are three or four carpenter shops in the city.

In this era, there is a craft that is more popular than hard farming, after all, the land tax is extremely high.

Glancing at the closed door, and reaching out to touch the dust accumulated on the door, Ye Hao showed a hesitant look on her face.

It can't be unoccupied, right?

At that time, Aunt Huang also said that she heard the news several years ago, and passers-by also remembered it after thinking about it for a long time.

All this shows that no one can be sure that Carpenter Zuo is still there.

Just as Ye Hao was hesitating to knock on the door, suddenly, with a squeak, the door was opened from the inside.

"Who are you?"

The one who opened the door was a small radish head that could only reach Ye Hao's waist, and it seemed to be about the same size as Zhao Yi.

But after this period of care, Zhao Yi already looks like a normal child with red lips and white face, much more energetic than some children with yellow faces and thin muscles in front of him.

Looking at the little radish head, Ye Hao was stunned, and immediately took a step back.

"Excuse me, is this the Carpenter's house?"

Hearing this, the child's eyes were suddenly filled with light, and he turned and shouted:

"Grandpa! Get up! Here comes work!"

The sound was full of energy, and it reached directly into the depths of the room.

Not to mention Ye Hao, even Lin Bin, who was standing behind her, jumped out of the corner of his eyes.

Not long after the child's voice fell, a short figure rushed out of it, which was also extremely exaggerated.

"Oops! Coming to the guests? Please come in, please come in!"

It was a little old man who spoke, but his hair and clothes were messy, and his smiling eyes were still bright.

followed an old man and a young man into the back room, Ye Hao took a look around and found that in addition to a pair of tables and chairs, the house was full of messy wood.

The smell of damp sawdust was so strong that Ye Hao couldn't help but sneeze.

"Please sit down, please take a seat."

The little old man smiled and asked Ye Hao and the two to sit down, and the little child he had seen before came over with two teacups that looked some years old and put them in front of the two.

"I wonder what furniture you two want to make?"

Being suddenly so warmly entertained, Ye Hao was stunned for a moment before coming back to her senses.

She took the teacup with an embarrassed face, she always felt that the attitude of these two people was a little strange, was it really the person she was looking for?

"Well, may I ask if this old man's surname is Zuo? I don't know if you know Carpenter Zheng from Xingnan Village?"

As soon as he heard this, the old man, who was originally still courteous, suddenly changed his face, straightened his waist, and responded with some anger:

"Since not

If you're here to make furniture, please leave on your own!"

As he spoke, he was about to go into the house, and his attitude changed so quickly.

Seeing this, Ye Hao hurriedly spoke out to stop the other party.

"Wait a minute, I do have something to talk to you about!"

With the other party's attitude, there must be something in it!

But even when the old man heard her words, he didn't slow down his pace, but still walked into the house, looking unconcerned.

Just when Ye Hao was a little anxious and couldn't help but want to stand up and chase after her, the little radish head who was originally standing at the table rushed over.

"Grandpa! You don't want to eat, I still want to! They said they had a business!"

The old man who was pulled by the little radish head at the corner of his clothes stopped his steps, sighed in a low voice with his back to a few people, and turned around a little reluctantly.

The pathos on his face, even if it was a distance, Ye Hao could see it.

"Don't get excited, we came here with no malicious intent, on the one hand, we want to cooperate with you, and on the other hand, we want to find out some news."

Ye Hao's words were sincere, and considering that he was indeed about to be unable to open the pot, the old man had no choice but to walk back.

However, looking back, the old man still has some bottom lines of his own.

"It's okay to talk about business, but if you're a lobbyist with the surname Zheng, then don't talk about it!"

What he said was categorical, without the slightest hint of backing down.

These words fell into Ye Hao's ears, and naturally there were a little more doubts, it seems that the contradiction between the old man in front of him and Carpenter Zheng is very deep!

So, she didn't continue to sell off, and directly put on her own attitude.

"To tell you the truth, not only am I not Carpenter Zheng's lobbyist, but I also have a grudge against him."

Smiling helplessly, Ye Hao knew in her heart that the enemy of her enemy was her friend.

If Carpenter Zuo and Carpenter Zheng are at odds, she can not only use this relationship to deal with the latter, but also cooperate with the former to make improved wooden ploughs.

It's just that in the latter matter, she still has to consider the other party's character.

As soon as he heard that the beautiful woman in front of him had a grudge against Carpenter Zheng, the old man's face changed again, and he curiously asked what the enmity was.

Ye Hao told her about being deceived, and as for the drawings, she kept an eye on them and didn't rush to take them out.

Listening to the ins and outs of the whole matter, the old man snorted a few times, and his face was full of disdain.

"He's been like this since he was a child, and he's been extremely selfish. Even pretending to be harmless to humans and animals to deceive others!"

Seeing that there was a drama in this matter, Ye Hao also inquired about the contradiction between the old man in front of him and Carpenter Zheng.

The old man didn't seem to have any intention of covering it up.

It turned out that these two carpenters were from the same school, and they were both disciples of an old carpenter with high morality and exquisite craftsmanship in Xingnan Village in the past, and the carpenter Zuo was older, and he learned the craft first, and he was still the senior brother of Zheng Carpenter.

Zuo carpenter is honest and honest, straightforward and quite hot, even if the craftsmanship is not worse than the younger brother, but the popularity is worse.

Carpenter Zheng is more clever and sleek, and he is good at studying some novel things, and his popularity is much better than that of his senior brother.

The old carpenter is also a lineage, and he has a secret book that has been painstakingly compiled over the years, and he wants to pass it on to the two brothers.

The old carpenter was obsessed with his work all his life, and he had neither a wife nor children, nor a close relative. So before he died, he called the two disciples to the bedside.

For his two disciples, he knew it very well, so he passed the secret book to the more secure eldest disciple Zuo Carpenter.

This is how it should have gotten like this.

But Carpenter Zheng himself is a small-minded person, and he is completely unwilling to accept this result, so he resorted to a female trick and deliberately spread the news in private that he is actually the inheritor of the old carpenter.

Carpenter Zuo is a person with a straight intestine, and every time he is asked about it, he will be furious, and he will only say that the other party is slandering.

But he had to come up with evidence, but he couldn't.

In this way, Zheng Carpenter, who is popular, pretends to take advantage of the momentum of everyone

, forcing the senior brother to give himself the cheats.

How could the left carpenter be willing? had a big quarrel, and he didn't believe in himself, so he moved to the county with his family in a fit of anger.

Between the brothers and sisters, there has been a bad relationship since then.

When mentioning this past, the old man couldn't help but sigh.

People's hearts are the things that can't stand the test, and he has never returned to Xingnan Village in his life.

But life in the city is not easy, it can be seen from the situation of their grandfather and grandson, the dilapidated house, the words reveal the dilemma of not having enough to eat.

Carpenter Zuo's craftsmanship is not bad, but he can't do business, and with the competition of several carpenter shops in the city, it has fallen to the point where he has no customers.

A few years ago, it was okay, my son was able to support the family when he was doing things outside. But last year, his son died unexpectedly, and the family was completely gone.

The current rise in food prices has made it even worse for the already poor Zuo carpenter's family.

Carpenter Zuo didn't mention these difficulties of his own, but Ye Zhenguang could see it from the surface.

"Then do you want to make a name for yourself?"

said tentatively, Ye Hao didn't know how true or false the other party's words were, but she was also a little angry when she heard it.

Because she can imagine that if she promised the other party to give the drawings yesterday, the other party would probably use the same means to ignore the drawings.

Seeing the excited look of the old man in front of her when he spoke, she believed that the other party was not lying.

But her words made the old man's face show a bit of helplessness and annoyance, and justified his name?

Easier said than done.

"Where don't I want to? In this life, I have a clear conscience in doing things, but how can I stop other people's mouths!"

Almost all the villagers were on his side, but if it weren't for this, how could he have moved out of the village in anger?

Pursing her lips, Ye Hao felt that she could work on this matter.

Isn't Carpenter Zheng quite famous in ten miles and eight towns? But if the truth is revealed, how many people will still believe him?

"I can help you if you want to. He tried to deceive me about the drawings, and we worked together to expose his face, which can be regarded as retribution!"

Hearing this, Carpenter Zuo looked at Ye Hao, a little stunned.

He lowered his head again and glanced at his grandson beside him, gritted his teeth, and nodded.

Since ancient times, he has paid attention to returning to his roots, and he has wanted to return to the village for so many years.

But the infamy he carried back then was a thorn in his heart, not only did he not want to face it, but he also didn't want his family to be affected.

If he can really get revenge, he can take his grandson home justifiably!

With the other party's resolute approval, the corners of Ye Hao's lips raised slightly, and she took out a silver ingot from the money bag on her waist.

"Carpenter Zuo, I said that I am not only here to inquire about news, but also to discuss business with you. Here are five taels of silver, which is my deposit."

With that, she took out another drawing from her bosom.

This is not the improved wooden plough given by the system, but a simplified version made by her after careful research.

Although it is much simpler and more crude than the version provided by the system, it is much better than today's wooden plows.

"Please follow this drawing and make ten wooden ploughs. Five days, is that okay?"

Ye Hao didn't put too much pressure on the other party, five days was already a lot of time, after all, the drawings she drew were not difficult.
