Since the name of the grain shop was determined, Shen Feng didn't ask again, but handed over all the shops to Fu Bo to arrange for them to take care of.

For the current Shen Mansion, the main function of the grain shop is to hoard and supply the food shops of the Shen Mansion, so Fu Bo is not in a hurry to open and sell. He planned to redecorate the shop first, hang the signboard of the Shen Mansion, and then wait for Ma Mao to come, and let him lead the backbone of the Shen Mansion and a few clever guys to buy some food together before considering business.

Shen Feng used this time to devote himself to the construction of the mill. He had already chosen the location of the mill, and it was placed on the side of the east grain depot in the second courtyard of the Xiao Mansion, and at present, the stone grinding problem was mainly solved with the stonemason. In this way, the Shen Mansion has the ability to vigorously increase the consumption of various powders, and the reason why this kind of stone mill can last for thousands of years is that its output is far higher than that of manual grain scooping is several times inseparable. Therefore, if there are abundant rice flour, flour, soybean flour, etc., you can also put it in the grain store and sell it in the future.

However, since it was the first time to make a stone mill, Shen Feng himself only knew the general appearance, and the specific details could only be figured out by the two stonemasons. And after the two stonemasons transported the stone back, they made it according to Shen Feng's model. It took the two of them three days to finally make the prototype of the stone mill. However, there are always various problems when conducting experiments.

But fortunately, Shen Feng racked his brains to guide and inspire according to his impressions, and after two days of pondering and transformation, Shen Feng finally came up with the world's first stone mill.

The three of them stood in the shed of the mill, watching Yu Gui drive the livestock around the mill in circles, and the white flour was squeezed out little by little with the squeak of the mill, Shen Feng himself didn't react much, and the two stonemasons actually cried with joy, muttering something strange like "God has eyes" in their mouths.

After the mood of the two calmed down, Shen Feng smiled and said: "You have done a good job, this first stone mill is completed, and after that, your daily work is to make a stone mill, when you are doing it, if you feel that it can be improved more conveniently and quickly, then you don't need to ask me, you can discuss it yourself, you can directly transform one to see the effect." We need a lot of stone grinding like this, so in addition to normal rest, we must do more. By the way, this matter is still in a state of secrecy, so when you go outside, you must know what you can say and what you can't say. ”

After the two stonemasons said that there was no problem and left, Shen Feng said to Yu Gui, who was excitedly driving the cattle around the millstone, "How about it?"

"It's just too effortless, I said village chief, since you would have done this a long time ago, why did you make it now? If it had been made a few years ago, then we in Xishui Village wouldn't know what it would be like to be rich?" Yu Gui complained while leading the cattle around in a circle.

Shen Feng pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "It's good to be able to make it out, if it was really made before, I don't know if Xishui Village can be rich, but it will definitely be destroyed because of this thing." You don't want to think that an ordinary rich man like the Xiao family dared to raise a knife at us before, but you can imagine other people. It is estimated that we will not even have any scum left to eat. ”

Yu Gui was silent, he knew that what Shen Feng said was true, if it weren't for Shen Feng's leadership and protection, let alone a good life like this, I'm afraid it would be a question of whether they could even live.

Shen Feng saw that Yu Gui's face was a little bad, so he understood that he remembered the previous things again, so he said: "The reason why you are here is because this kind of stone grinding belongs to our secret that cannot be passed on, so let you come over and keep an eye on it, in the future, there will be more people in our Shen Mansion, don't let some people with evil intentions take advantage of the loopholes." Once you find someone who dares to steal our things, you can remember that you must not show mercy......"

Just as Shen Feng was talking to Yu Gui, on an official road thousands of miles away from him, there were two figures that were getting bigger and bigger.

One of the slightly petite shadows looked up at the sun in the sky, took out a sweat towel and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead. Then he took out the kettle tied to his waist and shook it, hesitated a little, and then pulled off the lid with an unwilling look, held the kettle high, and opened his mouth to pour water into his mouth. But it didn't seem to be her way, so she shook the kettle again, as if this would make the empty kettle flow a clear spring, and apparently she failed, and finally had to re-put the lid on the kettle and hang it around her waist.

As the figures drew closer, the faces of the two became clearer.

"Miss, I'm so thirsty!" Gan Xiaoyu licked her lips that were almost cracked, and said to Murong Feiyan in front of her with a tired and distressed expression.

"I've walked this place before, and I'll be in Baining City about twenty miles further. When we get there, we'll have water to drink. Murong Feixue in front didn't look back, but from her subconscious swallowing movements, it could be seen that her thirst seemed to be worse than that of Gan Xiaoyu who was following behind.

"Miss, you said it's spring, why hasn't it rained yet? If it goes on like this, this year's harvest will be bad again. Is this what those people in the village said that God wants to punish everyone?" Gan Xiaoyu took a breath, ran forward two steps, and chased after Murong Feixue and said. It's just that her dry throat makes the originally clear voice a little tasty.

Murong Feiyan looked at the bare mountains in the distance, frowned tightly, and couldn't help but secretly say in her heart: "Yes, it's already spring, not even a drop of rain has fallen, the crops in the fields have already become wilted, and in some places where there is a serious shortage of water, the seedlings in the fields have died." Is it true that God doesn't want to give people a way to live?"

"Miss, why don't you speak? Are you still angry with me? I already knew I was wrong, but I was really thirsty and hungry in the morning, so I drank all the rest of the water. Gan Xiaoyu was obviously an idle person, she saw that Murong Feiyan ignored her, but frowned tightly, so she asked aggrievedly.

"Hehe, silly girl, I'm not angry with you, I was thinking that after we arrived at the small river outside Baining City, I must drink my stomach to the full, to make up for my mouth!" Murong Feiyan gently rubbed Gan Xiaoyu's head and said with a grin.

"Hehe, okay, I also want to drink my stomach to the full, or I will drink like the third sister-in-law Liu who is pregnant with a baby in the village?

"Hehe, I'm really not ashamed, how can a girl drink like that? Murong Feiyan was also amused by Gan Xiaoyu's expression, and the depression just now was swept away.

"Miss, why do you say that the baby is so cute when she is born, but she looks so ugly when she is pregnant? I really can't imagine what it will be like if you are pregnant? Will you have such a big belly like Liu San's sister-in-law?" Gan Xiaoyu still gestured and said.

"Bah, you're so big-bellied, you're ugly!" Murong Feiyan's mind suddenly appeared like she and Third Sister-in-law Liu were holding her waist with one hand, and touching her stomach with the other hand to tremble back and forth, not only blushing.

"Miss, what kind of husband do you want to find?" The continuous long time of rushing made Gan Xiaoyu feel too bored, so he always asked Murong Feiyan all kinds of strange questions.

"Me?" Murong Feiyan was stunned for a moment, wrinkled her nose slightly, and said after thinking for a while: "I don't look for anything, I want to stay with Aunt Lou and them." ”

"Then have you thought about it? Hall Master Zhao let you go over this time, could it be that he found the son they liked very much for you? If it wasn't for that, how could he not say anything?" Gan Xiaoyu was rare and shrewd, and said suspiciously.

"That's fine, but he must first be able to beat me, and he also has to accept Aunt Lou and them!, otherwise, hum!" Murong Feiyan thought about it for a moment and said.

"What if the other party is very ugly, or an old man, do you also agree?" Gan Xiaoyu couldn't help but be deflated for a while when she heard that Murong Feiyan had put forward this condition that would not change for ten thousand years, pouted, and said angrily.

Due to the drought, there was a lot of dust on the official road, and although both of them were covered with scarves, they still had a feeling of gray heads.

Murong Feiyan shook the dust on the scarf, and said with a smile: "Hehe, that's easy to do, if it's really like you said, then marry you, who made you younger than me?"

"I won't marry someone like that if I die, I'll do as you ask, but I have to add that you have to be handsome enough, okay? Gan Xiaoyu said with a bitter face.

But as soon as she said this, suddenly her whole body tensed up all of a sudden, and she said quickly: "Miss, there is a horse team coming from behind, it sounds like an army, let's quickly hide!"
