Chapter 100: Ugly Dead
Under the heavy reward, Qin Yu waited for two days, but he didn't see Liu Erniu and Zhong Manzi bring people back.
Taking advantage of this time, Qin Yu ordered someone to call a few carpenters and told the carpenter his idea, and the things he made were sent over.
Two wooden boxes with four iron pipes were sent into Qin Yu's courtyard, and Shangguan Wan was present when Qin Yu explained his request to the carpenter, even if he listened to it at the time, when he saw the real thing at this moment, he was like a curious baby.
When the door of the wooden box is opened, the box is divided into three layers, each of which resembles a tray, half a palm deep, and the four iron pipes supporting the wooden box cross through it, as if pierced by four spears.
This thing, you say it's ugly, that's not it, but if you want to say it's beautiful and atmospheric, it's not likely!
"Da Lang, this thing, you plan to use it to hatch chickens, ducks and geese?" After looking at it for a whole circle, Shangguan Wan couldn't figure out how this thing could be related to hatching chickens, ducks and geese.
"That's right! The tray in the box is stuffed with a layer of wheat bran, and then the eggs you want to hatch are placed in it, and you can hatch. ”
Shangguan Wan understood every word, but she felt that she had only heard it once.
"Da Lang, can you hatch chicks and ducklings with wheat bran?"
Qin Yu laughed when he heard this, feeling that Shangguan Wan was a little cute.
If chickens, ducks and geese can hatch simply with wheat bran, then the world is not full of chickens, ducks and geese?
"Do you see the four hollow iron pipes below? At that time, you have to set up an oil lamp underneath, rely on the oil lamp to heat the iron pipe, and use the temperature of the iron pipe to help the eggs in the box hatch, the principle is the same as a hen and a duckling hatching chicks and ducklings. ”
Qin Yu explained very clearly, Shangguan Wan was like listening to the Book of Heaven.
How can a few oil lamps and a few iron pipes be equivalent to the appearance of a hen and a duck?
These things aren't next to each other at all, are they?
However, seeing Qin Yu's confident appearance, Shangguan Wan already decided in his heart that he could do it.
The bitter coarse salt, which was pounded by Da Lang with some irrelevant things, became refined salt, and the matter of hatching some chickens, ducks and geese would definitely not stump him!
Shangguan Wan was also tempered, and she only felt that Qin Yu could do it, so she didn't think about it at all, if Qin Yu's such a thing spread, I am afraid it would be another turmoil!
Not long after Qin Yu ordered someone to move out the two boxes that had been made, Liu Erniu and Zhong Manzi came back to restore their lives.
The result was not too good, but after all, it brought back two people, one big and one small.
Qin Yu asked people to bring Liu Erniu and Zhong Manzi back into the courtyard, and a weather-covered woman stood in front of Qin Yu with a little girl with pigtails and a runny nose.
The woman's clothes were patched, and there was no sense of cleanliness and neatness, her hands were rough like old bark, and the little girl's body was covered with mud, and the cloth shoes on her feet opened a big gap, and the black girl's toes clung to the soles of the shoes.
Listen to Zhong Manzi said, this is a widow in Zhuangzi, not too old, just in her thirties, married early, but never conceived a child, just pregnant with a child, her husband died again, the little girl actually looks small, but the age is already ten years old.
Zhong Manzi didn't say this, Qin Yu's first feeling when he looked at the woman was definitely in her forties, or even fifty years old, that little girl, Qin Yu only thought that she was a child who was six or seven years old at most, but she didn't expect that she was already ten years old.
The women are declining, the children are stunted, and you can imagine how difficult their previous lives were.
"Erniu and Manzi told you before, right? They are all people in Zhuangzi, and they won't lie to you! Twenty wen a day, do you have anything to say? "This girl, Qin Yu also looks pitiful, anyway, as long as he can fulfill his requirements, he doesn't plan to change it, just treat it as a good deed.
"Young Master, you—" The woman opened her mouth to speak, but as soon as she spoke, she didn't dare to continue.
"Just say! If you have any doubts or difficulties, you can discuss them. Qin Yu showed a harmonious smile, hoping not to put pressure on the two of them.
"Sister-in-law Wang, you also saw what the young master did for Zhuangzi, and the young master asked you to say it, and you just said it!" Zhong Manzi also said on the side.
"That, young master, can the salary be less?" The woman who was called Wang's sister-in-law by Zhong Manzi finally mustered up the courage to say this sentence after taking a few breaths.
The Qin family gave them food and lodging, and it was a salary of twenty yuan a day, and after a month, it was six yuan of silver, which was not bad, but it was too much!
So much so that she suspected she was dreaming!
There is no such thing as a free meal in the world!
Even if a village woman like her understands this truth, the reason why the eldest young master of the Qin family gives so much is nothing more than thinking about watching jokes and having fun?
In the world, how can anyone rely on people to hatch eggs?
The reason why she wants to ask for less wages is that she thinks that the eldest young master can leave the two of them for the sake of less wages, and when she needs to have fun, she can go to make people laugh, and help the house to do chores to support her daughter on weekdays.
A not-so-glorious way out is better than struggling to survive in Zhuangzi!
As for face, dignity?
Is there a lack of right and wrong at the door of a widow's house? Isn't there a lot of scolding that is poked in the back of someone's back?
"Why?" Qin Yu asked a little puzzled.
The money is less, and he asks for a wage increase, he can figure it out, but now someone is pushing the money out, and he thinks that there is more money?
Sister-in-law Wang's head swayed from side to side, and her eyes looked at Zhong Manzi and Liu Erniu like help, and she didn't say anything for a long time.
Qin Yu thought that this sister-in-law had never seen the world, but now she was a little frightened, and she didn't force her, so she nodded and agreed: "Then the salary is ten cents a day, and when it is done, I will give a reward when the time comes." ”
Sister-in-law Wang immediately nodded, with a smile on her face and a slight watery light in her eyes.
Qin Yu saw the water in Sister-in-law Wang's eyes, and was a little happy in her heart, and beckoned to the little girl beside her.
The little girl clung to Wang's sister-in-law's clothes, and even hid back in fear.
Sister-in-law Wang was in a complicated mood at this time, and she didn't know whether to push her daughter out or protect her.
Qin Yu was helpless by the little girl's action, and he felt like an evil young man.
"Wan'er, give the dim sum to this little girl to eat! By the way, arrange them and change them into some clothes that they can wear. ”
The pity for the little girl failed, and Qin Yu could only let Shangguan Wan do it for her.
When Sister-in-law Wang heard this, she secretly exhaled a breath, and she didn't know whether she was happy or lost.
After stuffing all the snacks in the little girl's arms, Shangguan Wan touched the little girl's head and led them out.
When she was about to walk out of the courtyard gate, the little girl paused and turned her head to Qin Yu with a toothless laugh.
Chaste! Clean!
"Ugly!"
Qin Yu muttered quietly, but then couldn't help laughing.
