"What is he going to do?"

"Make a water drip."

Xu Youliang breathed a sigh of relief, it was not a big job:

"Bai Xiucai wants you to look at the hour outside? Then let him buy the iron gears and bearings that turn the water. As for the wooden gears that will be used to look at the disc of the hour, how big he wants, I will make him four size matches. Anyway, it's made from scraps, and you can do it with the hard work of getting up early and being greedy, and you still need some money. I heard that when I was fighting with Zhenting's nephew, people helped a lot."

Speaking of wooden gears, Xu Youliang is very happy to have learned.

Since the whole process of following the water dripping production, his brain seems to have opened up all of a sudden.

He found inspiration from the water drip, discussed it with his niece, and planned to use the principle of gears to make a water turner with wood pulled by a mule to irrigate the fields in the spring of next year.

My niece said that it was called using gears to achieve torque direction to change the transmission of force.

Xu Youliang didn't understand the transmission of force, but he could understand it.

At that time, a wooden horizontal wheel should be installed in the dumper, and the horizontal wheel looks like the "wheel" of the trolley, so that it can be meshed with the smaller gears, so that when the mule pulls the "wheel", it will drive the churning water into the field.

Xu Tianxin waved his hand and said:

"Second uncle, Bai Xiucai doesn't want the rough version of our family, otherwise can he offer you a salary?

He is very impressed, the pattern you carved on the pipe and the wood carving of flowers, birds and fish.

He said that this is really God's reward for your job, it can be seen that everyone has a suitable trade, you are suitable for this, and you can't do anything else.

Once you worship the wood carver as a teacher, you will be able to ......."

Xu Tianxin endured it and swallowed "I will be able to use my life's energy to carve 2,275 characters on the river during the Qingming Festival", she was afraid that she would scare her second uncle.

However, Xu Tianxin sincerely hopes that one day, the second uncle will no longer make ordinary cabinets and bed boards to make money, and will no longer be entangled in mundane things to support his family.

Instead, he focused on practicing woodcarving culture, like the imperial examination, whether it was five or ten years, and his family supported him to study hard.

Who said that the craftsmen of the great country are only embodied in industry? Like wood carving, it is more about cultural inheritance.

If their family can produce a master of wood carving, with ingenuity, respect for the original heart, keep expertise, and make fine products, she will be the first to raise her hands to support and greatly admire.

Fortunately, Xu Youliang didn't notice his niece's desire to speak, but he didn't float at all when he was praised, and only pondered in his heart:

Bai Xiucai and their family, do they praise people like this?

It's not good for anything else, at least he can eat and farm.

On this side, Xu Tianxin continued:

"He's trying to get something out. The selling price is high, and the craftsmanship must be refined.

He wanted that kind of with a delicate cabinet underneath for the water jar, and he would give you the size of the jar when the time came.

When the cabinet door is closed, the cabinet door should be woodcarved locust yellow.

It is taken from the fact that every year the acacia flower is busy, and it is the day to rush for the exam."

Here, there is no exact date for the imperial examination time, unlike the specific number of the modern college entrance examination. There is only one proverb here, when the acacia flower is yellow, if there is no war and no civil strife, the imperial examination will be held.

"Second uncle, and then the top of the acacia flower cabinet is a moss bonsai.

You have to use yellow mud, bricks, broken trees, small stones, pine needles, moss, and small pavilions made of sticks, and everything you will use, to create a landscape for climbing.

It's a miniature version of the mountain, and the steps to climb it are made of gravel.

At the highest end of the mountain is the narrowest part of the Grand Canyon, and you have to engrave the word Yumen on the dragon gate made of wooden sticks. Taken from the carp jumping over the dragon gate."

When Xu Tianxin said this, he deliberately picked up a firewood stick and wrote the word Yumen on the mud floor.

In order to let Xu Youliang understand the artistic conception, he also specially explained:

"Legend has it that when a carp in the Yellow River jumps over the dragon gate, it transforms into a dragon. It is a metaphor for things such as promotion and promotion, and it is also a metaphor for moving forward against the current and striving for progress. And Yumen is not only taken from the homonymous carp, its location is exactly in the Yellow River."

Speaking of which

, Xu Tianxin also wants to thank General Lu.

She wasn't sure if the modern Yumen was called here, but what she didn't expect was that Lu Yan ran from there this way. Then when she couldn't sleep last night, she used charcoal to sketch and figure out how to use Yumen.

And when Xu Tianxin couldn't sleep, he also considered that even the flowing water of the Grand Canyon had to be real.

The water that leaks from the passing clock flows through the cracks of the green bricks throughout the bonsai, and finally drips into the water storage jar that is packed into the cupboard.

Xu Tianxin gestured with Xu Youliang and continued: "Finally, next to the dragon gate, second uncle, you have to leave such a large place for me, I use it to put the dial and the small drum made of small gourds, and you also have to set aside a place here to place the gear percussion, because every time the imperial examination starts and ends, it has to strike the time. Second uncle, do you understand what I mean?"

It is said that Xu Tianxin also wants to make a calendar of "imperial examination countdown" on the drip next to the bonsai, so that time and calendar pass at the same time, and every time the exam time comes, it is strange that those talents are not in a hurry. On this day next year, Qingyun will go, but he will laugh at the busy world.

But again, the date of the imperial examination here is uncertain, so let's just sell the watch.

Xu Youliang: "......"

I understand it, but I also understand it.

Isn't it, let's just say, are readers so hypocritical? Look at the time is good-looking, you can understand what is not stronger, you have to get a bonsai rockery decoration.

If this is the case, he will have to go to the mountains to get the soil under the big trees and go home, and then sift it with a sieve, and add fine sand.

Not to mention the choice of moss and pine needles, even the pavilion of the rockery has to be cut little by little with wooden chopsticks, carved a little bit, smoothed out the steps of small gravel paving, and colored.

In short, when those bottles, dials, and gears are not under his control, he has to get up early and stay up late to do nothing, and it takes several days to be busy, roughly seven days.

And there are so many jobs waiting at home, all of them are busy with that? It is worth it unless you earn more, or you have to hire someone to do the work at home.

Therefore, "it takes seven days to make one, at least at least, and it is impossible to do it without specifying it for half a penny."

Xu Tianxin smiled at the second uncle, she didn't plan to spend her heart and lungs to persuade others, it was better to pay for it, stretched out her hand and said, "The wooden gear of each water drop clock will be paid separately. And this, two taels."

"How much, how much?!"

"Two-two."

"I can hurry, you can help me ask Bai Xiucai, is it limited? I can do at least two things in seven days."

"Second uncle, you didn't say that just now, you said that you can only do one in seven days, and you have to do what you can."

Xu Youliang thought to himself, didn't it cost half a tael just now, and half a tael of silver would not be able to endure the suffering of the world.

But the wages of two taels a week are different, not to mention making fake bonsai, even if he can move mountains, the suffering in the world is not unbearable.

Xu Tianxin responded, and then she stared at the second uncle to rest more.

And she still has a lot of work here, such as the background board of flowers and wealth, which requires her second uncle to make hundreds of mortise and tenon joints, and then spliced them in black and red, as well as wood carving birds, wood carving and other handicrafts.

Xu Youliang was finally hooked up by Yin Liang, not only nodded his head again and again, his eyes were shining, but he also gave the idea to ask his niece to tell Bai Xiucai not to find an old craftsman to compile the dial.

He told the truth, he spent the same money, and no matter how good the old craftsman who made the kang mat was, it was not as good as the person he recommended.

If you use that person, you will go up a notch all of a sudden.

"When your grandfather received goods from me before, he also collected folding fans from him, I have seen it.

This person's ancestral craft relies on a knife and bamboo, and he can weave paintings.

I've heard that it seems to be broken into bamboo strips of the same thickness, then steamed, and then the bamboo strips are turned into hair-thin bamboo strands, and finally dyed into ribbons of color, all kinds of colors. Weaving a folding fan with this bamboo silk that resembles a ribbon and weaving it into a painting.

Which village his family belongs to, I don't know, you are right

Grandpa knows. Let your grandfather go."

Xu Youliang didn't complain about it, like this kind of old craftsman with excellent craftsmanship, Liu Lizheng used to receive goods and reduce the price very much. But there is no way, no one will bring this kind of good craftsmanship out, no matter how beautiful the bamboo silk weaving paintings are, they don't know where to sell them, and they can't even get out, how to sell them.

He wanted to say that he tried not to lower the price too hard, but he swallowed back the words from his mouth.

Xu Youliang pondered, how could he have a position to say this, he could earn this money himself, and he couldn't afford to borrow his niece's light.

Xu Tianxin immediately wrote down that he planned to finish arranging the soap matter today, and he would ask Bai Xiucai to help draw the scheduled porcelain drawing, and let Grandpa Lizheng send her there tomorrow. If something is good, she will give a fair price.

Xu Tianxin didn't have time to delay any longer, so she went to find the third uncle and the younger uncle again.

These two need to go out with silver tickets and money, first go to the blacksmith shop to fix the iron gears, this is basically fifty taels to spend out, and then travel for three days, with the porcelain map to Linxian kiln porcelain factory custom porcelain vase, this is basically the silver ticket is spent.

Xu Youcang and Xu Youyin went on a business trip to run errands, and it took more than a week to sleep in the open air, and the salary of one person and a half taels of silver.

Xu Tianxin thought that the wages of these two uncles would be good at once, anyway, they would be confiscated by their grandmother in the end, so it was better for the two uncles to spend some money when they were shy.

At this time, Xu Youcang looked at the silver ticket in his hand repeatedly, and sighed very much: "I have really gained knowledge in the past two days, it turns out that there are silver tickets and ingots in the silver coin." He even went out to work and carried wood, and what he received was also broken silver, and he spent copper plates all the time.

Xu Youyin reacted very quickly: "No, Tian Xin'er, you and Uncle are honest, didn't you say that Bai Xiucai hired us, so why did you take out the silver ingots."

Xu Lao Er also paused as he measured the wood on the side.

Before him, he only listened to his niece and was dazzled, and then there was only joy left, now think about it carefully, his niece nodded directly when he listened to his suggestion, how could he help others pass the word, but like cooperation?

Xu Lao Er immediately repented and said, "If you two partner together, I will help you work and receive any wages. The third and fourth, you two are not allowed to accept it, hurry up and prepare to run errands for tomorrow."

Xu Tianxin was afraid of this.

But the brothers still have to settle accounts, and it is also to take care of the self-esteem of several elders and uncles, so she pulled the banner in the name of Bai Xiucai. net

Mindfulness chattered Bai Muyan, Bai Xiucai drove the ox cart, carrying a piece of oil paper wrapped in candy, and a bag of brown sugar.

He came to return the dumpling ceremony, and he was in a hurry last time and there were still many words that had not been agreed.

After listening to the three brothers' inquiry, Bai Muyan glanced at Xu Tianxin with a smile, guessed her thoughts, and deliberately called the three brothers aside.

The four of them gathered together and muttered.

Xu Tianxin wondered, and he didn't know what Bai Muyan said, the three uncles suddenly didn't resist so much about getting paid.

Then for the rest of the day, Bai Muyan became a painter again.

And with Bai Muyan's arrival again, he was too eye-catching, he didn't have anything to do to go to Erdaohe, and as Xu Laosan and Lao Si borrowed ox carts to prepare to go out, the people in the village also knew that Xu Jiatianxin cooperated with Bai Jiaxiucai after cooperating with the senior officials of the Zhenbei Army.

Bai Xiucai didn't pass Tian Xin's level, hurry up and tell each other, my God, I haven't talked about others in the past few days, and every household closes the door to talk about Xu Tianxin.

Xu Tianxin was also dragged and touched by many women, she was very inexplicable.

Even Xu Tianxin went back to the village for dinner, but was surrounded by children and shouted: "Our slogan is, keep up with Sister Tianxin, make money, make money, make money!"

Xu Tianxin was very suspicious, and there were grandmothers and aunts in the village who said behind her back that she was a money string.

That night, Liu Laozhu's old wife Pepper specially went to Xu's door and brought Liu Jingdong's clothes to Xu Laosan, who was about to go out.

She didn't care about the fourth child, because the third child's clothes were torn into strips of cloth when the wind blew on the road, and she was still wearing an old cotton jacket bought cheaply in the city.

Forget about the old, then it looks like the woman is wearing pink edges, afraid of exposing her belly button

It's only a piece in the waist, which looks too sad anyway.

Pepper also knew that the Xu family was rushing to make cotton clothes, but the new clothes had not yet been made.

"Jing Dong's clothes should be used for emergencies first, don't dislike them."

Mrs. Xu smiled and beckoned her into the house to eat two bites of food, and said, "What do you dislike, people are poor and their clothes are torn, and everything you say is wrong. To be honest, if you don't come, I'm just thinking about borrowing it from your house after dinner. The third child of my family is about the same size as your Jingdong, and the whole village knows that among the young men, there are many clothes in your Jingdong."

When Pepper heard this, she was completely relieved. Originally, she was a little worried before, don't let us come to the door to give old clothes, like charity looks down on anyone.

Then her old man said: You pull it down quickly, it's harder than your waist, you throw a few copper plates into people's bowls now, and people can make a few jokes with you. You just go and don't think about it.

Before leaving Xu's house, Pepper also asked Mrs. Xu: "When will you go to Wangjiagou to fight?" As if he couldn't wait, he asked to fight.

Mrs. Xu sent her out: "Ming'er will wait for the gong to strike."

Early in the morning of the second day, the officials who came to announce the official list of Wangjiagou were in place and were waiting in the Xu family's courtyard.

Mrs. Xu had a dumpling in her mouth, a busy galoshe, and when she was climbing off the kang, she didn't forget to broadcast live:

"Family, pay attention to and like, your wealth is over 10 million, and look at the days of Grandma Muskmelon.

Let's go.

The first stop, let the cadre team wait at the entrance of Wangjiagou Village, I want to go to Xinlizheng there to sell favors first, I have to let him know who asked him to come up, is it a family?

The second stop was to send a message to the official and Xinlizheng, and organize their villagers to go to the mouth of the dam to hold a meeting, leaving only one Wang Lao and his family who could not hear the letter.

Then, the family, go with grandma to block the quilt, the excitement is all in the back, don't leave, little red heart lit up."

Mrs. Xu opened the door of the house after speaking, and she only took Liu Laozhu and Xu Laoer, and the rest were all the old ladies of Erdaohe, and rushed all the way into Wangjiagou Village.

This is a little assistant who gets up early in the morning to go to the live broadcast, and Xu Tianxin has to run faster than anyone else.

She wants to record it in front, the appearance of the Erdaohe Axe Gang.

When the door of Wang Laoba's house was smashed, the background music in the live broadcast room was playing: "I have never seen such a person dragged when I am so big, but you will see it today."

Wang Laoba's daughter-in-law dragged the child, a little panicked, and urged, "Call Daddy quickly."

Wang Laoba's four-year-old child looked at Xu Laoer: "Dad!"

Xu Youliang: "......" what a mess, why do you still like to be a father.

With the confused expressions of Xu Lao Er and Wang Lao Ba's daughter-in-law, the screen in the live broadcast room was immediately messed up, and they all brushed up about me laughing out of the goose early in the morning, and my mother asked me to die and laugh, but I can't wait to call them up to see what to do.

And this old lady Xu has already pushed the woman and the child out of the door, closed the door tightly, and did not allow them to look.

Then Xu Lao Er rushed into the house and pressed Wang Lao Ba on the kang.

Xu Lao Er felt that he was going to be submerged along with himself, he held down his front foot, and the aunts and aunts on his back feet pounced on Wang Lao Ba one after another like robbing money, twisting and pinching.

When Wang Laoba opened his eyes, he saw so many old ladies' faces, all of which were full of wrinkles and ravines, and he was startled, thinking that a group of Meng Po was coming to pick him up.

Then, before he could react, he was beaten to fear.

It doesn't matter if he is bruised, why did he bring a needle again, he would be pierced in the palm of his feet if he covered his head without being pinched, he ran away from her chase, and he couldn't fly with his wings.

Wang Laoba covered his head and shouted through his throat: "You listen to my explanation, I really just pick my eyes to see the excitement, auntie, grandma, grandma!"

The grandmothers shouted: If you don't listen or don't listen, the explanation is to talk back, silence is to play a temper, crying is hypocrisy, even breathing is wrong, let him be cheap, and the beating will be over.

"Still talking? Whoever makes a mistake, shut his mouth!"

However, before leaving, Xu Lao Er pinched Wang Laoba's neck and said a word.

Xu Lao Er said in Wang Laoba's ear, he said that if you dare to have a little evil thought about my Tian Xin, Wang Laoba, it's not as simple as your death. My Xu family will definitely let you have no heirs, there is no ancestral grave on it, and you will have roasted sweet potatoes for your ancestral grave!

This is the reason why Xu Youliang has to follow.

Mrs. Xu raised her eyebrows at Wang Laoba next to her, which made Wang Laoba's heart skip a beat, he understood, what this old lady meant, if Xu Tianxin was evil thought of by others in the future, he would be counted on his head first, and there was no reason for this.

At the same time, Xu Laosan and Lao Si arrived at the blacksmith shop in the town.

This time, there were many customized gears and bearings, although the niece did not mention the bargaining, and the money she brought was also very abundant, but Xu Youyin thought about how to buy objects without bargaining.

"Toujia, you see that you buy so much, this is almost your craft, you can also learn something from it, don't say you didn't get any inspiration, I don't believe it, my second brother and a carpenter have thought of other things." Is it a set of don't go back to five taels, give it down to four taels. This is called a certain set of ten sets, not that you are asked to deliver the goods together, and if you do a set, you will send one set to Erdaohe."

"Yes."

Xu Youyin immediately turned his head and looked at his third brother.

The brothers were very surprised, and there was a kind of remorse called the first counteroffer, and the boss agreed. If you promised to be so happy, then we will regret it.

I knew that I would say three or two!

The old man in the blacksmith shop: "I see that the price is reduced in the face of Xu Tianxin, isn't it Xu Tianxin of Erdaohe? That's right. And trouble the two little brothers to go back and pass a message, so that the girl can rest assured, I will not tell anyone about this method."

Anything else, the old man in the blacksmith shop didn't explain more.

In fact, the year before last, his little daughter was entangled by Daxi's second-rate subordinates, and his eldest son was beaten to protect his sister-in-law, his nose and face were swollen, two teeth were knocked out, and his legs were lame for half a year. But there is no way to sue, and no one is in charge. Even if you are locked up for two days, you will be released and it will become even worse. In the end, there was no way, there was a bang, and his little daughter's reputation was gone, so he could only marry in a hurry to another town. Because he is in a hurry to get married, he is not having a good time at the moment.

He now heard that the second-rate son went in this time, thanks to going to Erdaohe to find fault, and then the girl of the Xu family in Erdaohe knew a general of the Zhenbei Army, and the girl who was looking for the Xu family happened to see it in the future, which made the gang of evildoers all go to prison.

His wife said yesterday: The sky has eyes, and I want to thank that girl for having the ability to meet the officials, so she helped us avenge by the way. We can't invite that official to dinner and thank you, so we can only kowtow from afar, but if the girl of the Xu family comes to the town, she will be grateful. His wife was half blind from crying that year.

Then he was waiting, waiting for the girl of the Xu family to order again, and he would give it cheap. The old man at the smithy said, "I will hurry up and not delay the girl's business."
