Sign-in space: I grew rich in ancient times

Chapter 174 It's the right match for your daughter
The expansion of the Chen family's house centered on the original courtyard, extending to the left, right, front and back. The original old house was also demolished and rebuilt by taking the opportunity of this expansion.

Chen Boyu and his wife, with their twins, still live in the original courtyard, which is located in the middle of the center line of the entire house and belongs to the main courtyard.

There are two courtyards at the front and back of the center line. The front courtyard is the main hall for receiving guests, and the two rooms on the left and right are also the east hall and west hall for receiving guests, and a large courtyard. A side door is opened in the courtyard walls on the left and right, leading directly to the left and right. Two line yard.

Entering through the door on the left side, there is a slip of servants’ room. Through the first door of the corridor, there are three independent courtyards. The first two courtyards are small two-entry pattern, and the third courtyard is one-entry small courtyard. .

On the right line, apart from the identical servants’ rooms, there are four yards on this side. The first yard is not inhabited, and inside is a large study and two reception rooms.

The second courtyard has the same layout as the second courtyard on the left, and the remaining two courtyards are small courtyards with the same layout as the courtyard behind the main courtyard on the central line.

Chen Boyu arranged his daughter in the small courtyard behind the main courtyard, while Chen Yuming and Tang Yaoling were arranged in the two small courtyards on the right, but Chen Boyu didn't interfere and let them discuss who would live in that courtyard.

The first second courtyard on the left line was reserved as a guest courtyard, the second courtyard was prepared for Chen Boyan, and the third courtyard, parallel to the courtyard where Chen Huiyin lived, was suggested by Chen Huiyin to be reserved for Gu Xinfang.

As for the servant rooms on the left and right, Chen Boyu arranged for the servants to live on the left and the maids to live on the right.

In addition, beside Chen's house, Chen Boyu also built two large houses alone. Except for Chen Huiyin, no one knew what these two houses were for.

Until two more days later, Chen Boyu took his long-time workers and drove two bullock carts to the county town again. When he returned to the village, the bullock carts dragged back many unknown iron objects.

The things were transported back and put directly into the two big rooms. The next afternoon, when Chen Huiyin had just assembled the rice mill and noodle mill, Yu Jun brought his personal guard over.

The rice mill and noodle mill are machines designed by Chen Huiyin based on the current iron smelting technology and animal power. Although they cannot be compared with the electric rice mill in the previous life, they are also better than the current rice pounding tools and stone mills. Efficiency increased dozens of times.

Because of iron smelting technology and power reasons, the rice milled by the rice mill, after the first pass, the rice husks on the rice are not completely cleaned, and it needs to be milled again, so that what comes out is brown rice. **Rice needs to be milled twice with a rice mill.

Although the rice has to be milled four times, it only takes a quarter of an hour to process a stone of rice into white rice.

Moreover, the broken rice rate of rice milled by a rice mill is directly reduced by [-]%. The reduction in loss and the shortening of processing time all mean a reduction in costs. The prices of rice and noodles can be lowered to a certain extent.

Yu Jun immediately asked for the detailed drawings of the rice mill and noodle mill, then looked at Chen Huiyin eagerly, and said to Chen Boyu: "If I have such a smart daughter, I can wake up from my dreams with laughter."

When it was over, Yu Jun "hooked his shoulders and put his back on his back", turned Chen Boyu aside, and said in a low voice: "Doctor Chen, my son is regular, 14 years old, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, very handsome, not only studied with my master since childhood , and also practice martial arts with me, it can be said that he is both civil and military, and is a perfect match for your daughter, why don't you find a time to let the two children meet."

The daughter is excellent, which directly moved Yu Jun to marry the two families. Chen Boyu is very proud, but the blind date is fine. His daughter is still young, and it is still too early to get married.

So he declined and said: "General Yu's love is a blessing to my sister Qiao, but you can see that she is still childish and doesn't understand the relationship between men and women at all. Let's talk about it when she is older!"

Yu Jun looked at the slim young lady beside him, she was so childish, Yu Jun didn't see Chen Boyu's unwillingness, so he patted him on the shoulder without a word, and said earnestly: "Doctor Chen, you have a good look in your eyes Zhizhi, you are not good at this, you can find another famous doctor to try."

Chen Boyu thought to himself: "Hey, I don't want to tell my daughter to your son, it's not human nature, why do you scold him?"

On the surface, he smiled and changed the topic: "The other rice mill and noodle grinder have been assembled, and they can be used after going back to the cow. The two machines cost 200 taels in total."

Yu Jun didn't care about the 200 taels of silver, and asked his personal guards to give the prepared silver to Chen Boyu, and directly requisitioned the Chen family's ox cart, and brought the two machines back to the army.

The next day, Chen Boyu erected a signboard in front of the two big houses, which was the eye-catching signboard of Chen's Rice Noodle Processing Workshop.

The fee for the rice noodle processing workshop is also very cheap. It costs ten yuan to process a stone of grain. At first, because of the fee, there were not many people in the village who came to mill rice and flour. Everyone is still used to spending a lot of energy on their own. , Half a day, pounding rice and grinding noodles by myself.

But as time goes by, everyone finds that people who spend money on rice milling and flour milling use the time they save to go out to work or open up wasteland, and finally realize the benefits of spending money on rice milling and flour milling. The time saved can be earned back when you go out to work or open up wasteland, and you can earn back several times.

Moreover, Chen Boyu bought another land after the autumn harvest. Before winter, he opened the land and fertilized it to raise it. The long-term labor at home is still too busy. He will hire people in the village, but the number is limited.

Therefore, many people are very envious of those first batch of people who spent money on rice milling and noodle grinding with the Chen family, because they only paid half of their daily wages for the processing fee, but they were able to do a good job in the Chen family for a long time. Get a steady income.

Blinking into the twelfth lunar month, on the day of Laba, Yu Jun brought his son Yu Zhengze to send the current rewards. Unfortunately, Wu Shengzhe took Chen Huiyin's four disciples to the city and was not at home.

Yu Jun's secret poking plan failed, while Chen Boyu almost died of anger when he saw Yu Zhengze, who was only half a head shorter than himself, with outstanding facial features, and a whole body of righteousness. Greet Yu Jun with a smile.

Yu Jun took his son Yu Zhengze, had lunch at Chen's house cheekily, and spent half an afternoon there. The little lady who hadn't waited to return to Chen's house had no choice but to take her son and leave with regret.

After sending General Yu and his son away, Zhou Jinghao finally couldn't bear it anymore, and asked, "I see General Yu's appearance, did you bring your son to our house today to see Miss Qiao?"
