My live broadcast room communicates ancient and modern

Chapter 180 Echo (Three chapters in one)

"What is he going to do?"

"Make a drip."

Xu Youliang breathed a sigh of relief, it was not a big job:
"Bai Xiucai wants you to tell the time on the outside? Then let him buy the iron gears and bearings that turn the water. As for the wooden gears used to tell the time on the disc, how big does he want? I will make four for him. Just match the size. It's made of scrap materials anyway, and you can finish it by working from dawn to dusk, so you don't need any money. I heard that when I was fighting with Zhenting's nephew, they helped me a lot."

Speaking of wooden gears, Xu Youliang was very happy to learn it.

Since following the whole process of making water drippings, his mind seems to have suddenly become enlightened.

He found inspiration from the water dripping leakage, discussed it with his niece, and planned to use the gear principle next spring to build a water dump truck that uses mules to pull wood to irrigate the fields.

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

Xu Youliang didn't quite understand what transmission of power was, but he could understand it.

At that time, a wooden horizontal wheel will be installed in the water turning cart. The horizontal wheel will be the same as the "cart plate" of the handcart, and it will mesh with the smaller gear. In this way, when the mule is pulling the "cart plate", it will drive the turning wheel. The water is introduced into the fields.

Xu Tianxin waved his hand and said:

"Second uncle, Bai Xiucai doesn't want the rough version like ours, otherwise can I offer you wages?
He was very attracted by the patterns you carved on the pipe and your wood carving skills of flowers, birds and fish.

He said that this is really a job that God has rewarded you with. It can be seen that everyone has a suitable profession, and you are suitable for this, and other aspects are not suitable.

Once I take the wood carving master as my teacher again, I will definitely be able to..."

Xu Tianxin endured it and swallowed, "I will spend my whole life carving out the 2275 characters in the Qingming Riverside Scene." She was afraid of scaring her second uncle.

However, Xu Tianxin sincerely hopes that one day, the second uncle will no longer make ordinary cabinets and bed boards to earn money, and will no longer have to worry about mundane things to support the family.

Instead, he should concentrate on studying wood carving culture, just like the imperial examination. Whether it is five years or ten years, his family will support him and he will study hard.

Who said that craftsmen in great countries are only reflected in industry?Like wood carving, it is more about cultural inheritance.

If there could be a master wood carver in their family who could produce fine products with ingenuity, respect for the original intention, and expertise, she would be the first to raise her hands to support and admire her greatly.

Fortunately, Xu Youliang didn't notice that his niece was hesitant to speak. Instead, he didn't seem to be flattered at all when he was praised, and he just thought about it in his heart:

Do people in Bai Xiucai's family praise people like this?

Even if he is not good in other aspects, at least he can still eat and farm.

Here, Xu Tianxin continued:
"He wants to sell takeout. If the price is high, the craftsmanship must be good.

He wants one with an exquisite cabinet underneath to hold the water storage jar, and he will give you the size of the jar when the time comes.

When the cabinet door is closed, the wood should be carved in Sophora japonica yellow.

It is taken from the day when the Sophora japonica flowers are yellow and the children are busy every year, it is the day to rush for the exam. "

Here, there is no exact date for the imperial examination, unlike the specific date of the modern college entrance examination.There is only a proverb here, when the locust flowers turn yellow, if there is no war or civil strife, you will have to take the imperial examination.

"Second uncle, there is a moss bonsai on the Sophora japonica cabinet.

You need to use yellow mud, blue bricks, broken trees, small stones, pine needles, moss, small pavilions made of wooden sticks, and everything else you will use to create a mountain climbing landscape.

It is a miniature mountain, and the steps to climb the mountain are made of gravel.

The highest end of the mountain is the dragon gate at the narrowest part of the Grand Canyon. You have to carve the word Yumen on the dragon gate made of wooden sticks.Taken from Carp Jumping over Dragon Gate. "

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

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

"It is said that if a carp in the Yellow River jumps over the dragon gate, it will transform into a dragon. It is a metaphor for success, promotion and other successes, and it is also a metaphor for going against the current and working hard. Yumen is not only taken from the homonym of carp, but its location is exactly in the Yellow River."

Speaking of this, Xu Tianxin would also like to thank General Lu.

She wasn't sure whether the modern Yumenkou was called by this name. What she didn't expect was that Lu Yan was running this way from there.Then when she couldn't sleep last night, she sketched with charcoal, thinking over and over how to use Yumen.

Moreover, when Xu Tianxin could not sleep, he also considered that even the flowing water in the Grand Canyon must be real.

Use a time-lapse clock to drip water, flow through the cracks in the blue bricks throughout the bonsai, and finally drip into the water storage jar installed in the cabinet.

Xu Tianxin gestured with Xu Youliang and continued: "Finally, next to the dragon gate, second uncle, you have to leave such a big place for me. I use it to put the dial and the small drum made of small gourds. You have to leave it here too." There is a place where the gear is struck, because every time the imperial examination starts and ends, it will strike the time. Second uncle, do you understand what I mean?"

Ordinarily, Xu Tianxin also wanted to put a "countdown to the imperial examination" calendar on the hourglass next to the bonsai, so that time and the calendar would pass at the same time, and the clock would be pressed every time it was exam time. It would be strange for the scholars not to be in a hurry.Next year, Qingyun will go away on this day, but he will laugh at the busyness of raising children in this world.

But again, the date of the imperial examination here is uncertain, so just sell your watches.

Xu Youliang: "..."

I understood it, but I was also dumbfounded.

No, let’s just say, are scholars so pretentious?If you can read the time, you should look at it well. If you can understand it, it is better than nothing. You must build a bonsai rockery for decoration.

If that were the case, to make just a pot bottom, he would have to go to the mountains to take the soil from under the big tree home, then sift it finely with a sieve, and add fine sand.

Not to mention the selection of moss and pine needles, even the rockery pavilion needs to be chipped bit by bit with wooden chopsticks, carved bit by bit, smoothed with small gravel to pave the steps, and painted.

In short, when the bottle dials and gears are not under his control, he has to get up early and work late at night to make one. He only works on it and it takes several days, roughly seven days.

And there are so many things waiting for you at home, why don’t you just put them all aside and do that?Unless you earn a lot, it’s worth it, otherwise you have to hire people to do the housework.

Therefore: "It takes seven days to make one, at least, and it can't be done without giving half a tael of silver."

Xu Tianxin smiled at her second uncle. She was not going to give her heart and soul to persuade him otherwise, so she might as well pay for it, stretched out her hand and said: "Each wooden gear of the water drop clock will be paid individually. And this one, twenty taels."

"How much, how much?!"

"Two or two."

"I can expedite it. Please ask Bai Xiucai for me. Is there a limit? I can make at least two in seven days."

"Second uncle, that's not what you just said. You said you can only do one in seven days, so you have to do what you can."

Xu Youliang thought to himself, wasn't he just asking for half a tael because he was thinking about it? Half a tael of silver cannot bear the suffering in the world.

But the salary of two taels a week is different. Let alone making fake bonsai, even if he is asked to move mountains, the suffering in the world is not unbearable.

Xu Tianxin agreed. Then she should keep an eye on her second uncle and rest more.

And she still has a lot of one-two-one-two jobs here. For example, the background board of flowers blooming and wealth requires her second uncle to make hundreds of pieces of mortise and tenon joints, and then add black and red splicing to make them, as well as wood carvings of birds. , wood carvings and other handicrafts.

Xu Youliang was finally seduced by Yinliang. Not only did he nod in agreement, his eyes gleamed when he saw the wood, but he also gave an idea and asked his niece to tell Bai Xiucai not to hire an old craftsman to weave the dial.

He told the truth that it cost the same money, and no matter how skilled the experienced craftsman was in making the kang mat, it was still not as good as the one he recommended.

If it is compiled by that person, it will immediately reach a higher level.

"I have seen your grandfather Li Zheng collect folding fans from his place when he used to receive goods from me.

This person's ancestral craft relies on bamboo knives and bamboo to weave paintings.

I heard that it seems that bamboo is broken into bamboo strips of the same thickness, and then steamed. After cooking, the bamboo strips are turned into bamboo silk as thin as hair, and finally dyed into ribbons. Available in various colors.Use this ribbon-like bamboo silk to weave folding fans and weave them into paintings.

I don't know which village his family is from, but your grandfather Li Zheng knows.I'll tell you, grandpa Li Zheng. "

Xu Youliang had one thing he didn't complain about. For an old craftsman like this with excellent craftsmanship, Liu Lizheng used to be very aggressive in receiving goods and keeping prices down.But there is no way, no one takes this good craftsmanship out, no matter how exquisite the bamboo silk weaving paintings are, I don’t know where to sell them, or how to sell them even if they can’t get out.

He wanted to say, try not to lower the price too hard, but he swallowed his words.

Xu Youliang thought, how could he stand to say this? He could earn this money by himself, but if he couldn't help it, he would borrow it from his niece.

Xu Tianxin immediately made a note that after arranging the soap today, she would also ask Bai Xiucai to help draw the planned porcelain pictures, and ask Grandpa Li Zheng to send her there tomorrow.If the item is good, she will give it a fair price.

Xu Tianxin had no time to delay any longer, so she went to look for her third uncle and younger uncle again.

The two need to go out with banknotes and money. First, they go to the blacksmith shop to order iron gears. This basically costs 50 taels. Then they travel for three days and take the porcelain diagram to Linxian Kiln Porcelain Factory to order a porcelain bottle. This Basically, the bank note was spent.

Xu Youcang and Xu Youyin helped to run errands. It took more than a week to sleep in the open air, and the wages were half a tael per person.Xu Tianxin thought that the wages of these two uncles would be good for a while. Anyway, they would be confiscated by grandma in the end. Why not, when the two uncles were short of money, she would give them some sneaky money and let them spend it.

At this time, Xu Youcang looked at the banknotes in his hand repeatedly and sighed: "I have really learned a lot in the past two days. It turns out that there are banknotes and ingots in the money." When he went out to work, he received broken silver, and he kept spending it. It's a copper plate.He used to think that there were only two kinds of silver: broken silver and copper plates.

Xu Youyin reacted very quickly: "No, Tian Xin'er, tell the truth to my uncle. Didn't you say that Bai Xiucai hired us? Why did you pay for the silver ingot?"

Xu Laoer paused while measuring the wood.

Before, he only listened to his niece's eloquent words, and was filled with joy afterwards. Now that he thought about it carefully, his niece nodded directly after listening to his suggestions. She didn't look like she was helping others, but she seemed to be cooperating.
Xu Laoer immediately regretted it and said: "If you two form a partnership, how much will I charge you for working for you? You two, Lao San and Lao Si, are not allowed to accept it either. Hurry up and prepare to run errands for me tomorrow."

Xu Tianxin is afraid of this.

Her brothers wanted to settle accounts openly, and to take care of the self-esteem of her elders and uncles, she took advantage of Bai Xiucai's name.

Fortunately, Bai Muyan was talking about it right away, so Bai Xiucai drove an oxcart and arrived carrying a bag of brown sugar wrapped in oil paper.

He came to repay the dumpling gift, but he left in a hurry last time and had many things to discuss.

After Bai Muyan listened to the three brothers' inquiries, he looked at Xu Tianxin with a smile and guessed what she was thinking, so he specially called the three brothers aside.

The four of them muttered together.

Xu Tianxin was puzzled and didn't know what Bai Muyan said. The three uncles suddenly became less resistant to getting paid.

In the remaining half of the day, Bai Muyan became a painter again.

And with Bai Muyan's arrival again, he was so eye-catching that he came to Erdaohe for a walk without anything else. As Xu Laosan and Lao Si borrowed an oxcart to prepare to go out, the villagers also knew that Xu Tianxin After cooperating with senior officials of the Zhenbei Army, he collaborated with the Bai family scholar.

Bai Xiucai has not passed the test of Tian Xin, so hurry up and tell him. Oh my God, I haven’t talked to anyone else in the past few days. Every household has closed its doors and talked about Xu Tianxin.

Xu Tianxin was also grabbed and touched by many women. She was very confused.

Even when Xu Tianxin returned to the village for dinner, he was surrounded by children shouting: "Our slogan is, follow the example of Sister Tianxin, make money, make money, make money!"

Xu Tianxin was very suspicious. There was a grandma in the village who said that she was a money stick behind her back.

……

That night, Liu Laozhu's old wife Pepper specially visited Xu's house and brought a set of Liu Jingdong's clothes to Xu Laosan who was about to go out.

She ignored the fourth child because the third child's clothes were torn into rags when there was a strong wind on the road according to his man's story, and he was currently wearing an old cotton-padded jacket bought cheaply in the city.

Forget it is old, it looks like the girl is wearing a pink hem. She only has a patch on her waist to avoid exposing her navel. It looks too sad anyway.

Pepper also knew that the Xu family was rushing to make cotton-padded clothes, but the new clothes hadn't been made yet.

"Jingdong's clothes are brought first for emergencies, don't dislike them."

Mrs. Xu smiled and greeted her into the house for a bite of food, and said: "What do you dislike? People are poor and have shabby clothes. Everything they say is wrong. When you go out, you have to dress up so that you can negotiate business. To be honest, if you don't come , I just thought about borrowing it from your house after dinner. My third child is about the same size as your Jingdong, and everyone in the village knows that among the young men, your Jingdong has the most clothes."

Pepper was completely relieved after hearing this.Originally, she was a little worried before, don't let me come to give old clothes to her door, as if she looked down on someone by giving alms.

Then her old man said, "Quickly pull me down. I'm tougher than you. Now if you throw a few coins into someone's bowl, they will make a few jokes at you and not take it seriously. This is called having the ability to have confidence."You just go and don't think too much about it.

Before leaving the Xu family, Pepper asked Mrs. Xu: "When will we go to Wangjiagou to fight?" He looked like he couldn't wait and asked to go out.

Mrs. Xu sent her out: "I'll wait for the gong tomorrow."

Early the next morning, the government officials who came to announce the official list of Wangjiagou Village were in place and waiting in the Xu Family Courtyard.

Mrs. Xu had a piece of cake in her mouth, her hands were busy putting on her shoes, and when she climbed down from the kang, she did not forget to live broadcast:

“Family members, please follow and like, your wealth exceeds tens of millions, and let’s see that Grandma Xianggua’s life will become brighter and brighter.

Let's set off now.

The first stop is to ask the combat team to wait at the entrance of Wangjiagou Village. I want to go to Xinli Zheng to sell favors.I have to let him know who asked him to come up. Is it family?
At the second stop, the messengers and Xinli Zheng were asked to organize their villagers to hold a meeting at the dam entrance, leaving only the Wang Lao Ba family who could not hear the news.

Then, family members, go to bed with grandma. The excitement is all behind. Don’t leave. Little red hearts light up. "

After Mrs. Xu finished speaking, she opened the door of her house. She only took Liu Laozhu and Xu Laoer with her, and the rest were all the old ladies from Erdaohe who rushed into Wangjiagou Village.

This was very difficult for the little assistant who got up early to go to the live broadcast. Xu Tianxin had to run faster than anyone else.

She wanted to record it in front of Erdaohe Ax Gang.

When the door of Wang Laoba's house was opened, the background music of the live broadcast room was playing: "I have never seen such a tough person in my life, and you will see it today."

Wang Laoba's wife dragged the child, a little panicked, and urged: "Call daddy quickly."

Wang Laoba's four-year-old son looked at Xu Laoer and said, "Dad!"

Xu Youliang: "..." What a mess, why are you still happy to be a father?

In line with the confused expressions of Xu Lao Er and Wang Lao Ba's daughter-in-law, when they asked the baby to come into the house and call him daddy, the live broadcast room immediately became chaotic. People were posting about how early in the morning I laughed like a goose, and my mother asked me to die. Laughing, but I really want to wake them up and see what to do together.

But this time, Mrs. Xu had already pushed the woman and the child out of the door, and closed the door tightly, preventing anyone from looking at it.

Then Xu Laoer rushed into the house and pressed Wang Laoba on the kang.

Xu Lao Er felt that he was about to be submerged as well. He held down his front foot while the ladies and aunties rushed at Wang Lao Ba one after another like they were robbing money, twisting and pinching him.

When Wang Laoba opened his eyes, he saw so many faces of old ladies, all of them covered with wrinkles and grooves. He was startled, thinking that a group of Meng Pos were coming to pick him up.

Then, before he could even react to what was going on, he was beaten to the point of fear.

Forget about being covered in bruises, why did he bring the needle again? If he covered his head to avoid being pinched, he would be stabbed in the sole of the foot. He could not escape her pursuit, but he could not fly without wings.

Wang Laoba covered his head and shouted, "Listen to my explanation, I just opened my eyes to see the excitement, aunt, grandma, too much!"

The mothers clamored: If they don't listen, explaining is talking back, silence is showing off their temper, crying is pretentious, even breathing is wrong, if they make him look mean, they'll be beaten.

"Can you still speak? Whoever made the mistake should be silenced!"

However, before leaving, Xu Laoer pinched Wang Laoba's neck and said something.

Xu Laoer said this in Wang Laoba's ear. He said that if you dare to have even the slightest evil thought towards my Tian Xin, Wang Laoba, it will not be as simple as your death.I, the Xu family, will definitely make you childless and have no ancestral graves above you. I will dig up roasted sweet potatoes for your ancestral graves!

This was the reason why Xu Youliang insisted on following.

The old lady Xu raised an eyebrow at Wang Laoba, which made Wang Laoba's heart skip a beat. He understood that what the old lady meant was that Xu Tianxin would be the first to think of someone with evil thoughts in the future. In his head, is there any reason for this?

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

There were a lot of customized gears and bearings this time. Although my niece didn't ask for any bargaining, the money she brought was very abundant, but Xu Youyin wondered how anyone could buy something without bargaining.

"Boss, you see, after buying so much, this has almost become your family's craft. You should also learn something from it. Don't say you didn't get any inspiration. I don't believe it. My second brother, a carpenter, has already thought of other things. Isn't that right? Instead of five taels per set, lower it to four taels. This is called ordering ten sets, and we don’t ask you to deliver the goods together. Once one set is completed, we will send one to Erdaohe."

"to make."

Xu Youyin immediately turned to look at his third brother.

The two brothers were very surprised, and there was a kind of regret called: the boss agreed at the first counteroffer.You promised to be so happy, but we regretted it.

If I had known, I would have said three or two!
The old man at the blacksmith shop: "I lowered the price because the owner is Xu Tianxin, isn't it Xu Tianxin from Erdaohe? That's right. Please go back and send a message to the two young men, so that the girl can rest assured that I don't know how to make this method. Would tell anyone.”

Otherwise, the old man from the blacksmith shop will not explain any more.

In fact, the year before last, his youngest daughter was entangled by Daxi's second-rate men, and his eldest son was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen while protecting his sister. Two teeth were knocked out, and his leg was lame for half a year.But there is no way to sue, and no one can make the decision.Even if they were detained for two days, they would be released and things would get worse.In the end, he had no choice but to make a big fuss and his little daughter's reputation was lost, so she had no choice but to marry off to another town in a hurry.Because she got married in a hurry, her life is very bad now.

Now he heard that the second-rate boy went in this time, thanks to going to Erdaohe to find trouble. Then the girl from the Xu family in Erdaohe knew a general of the Zhenbei Army. Prison.

His old lady was still saying yesterday: The sky has eyes, and we have to thank that girl for having the ability to meet a high official, so she took the opportunity to avenge us.We can't invite the high official to dinner to thank him, so we can only kowtow from a distance, but if the Xu family girl comes to town, she will want to thank him.His old woman was half blind from crying that year.

Then he was waiting for the Xu family girl to place another order so that he could get a cheaper price.The old man in the blacksmith shop said: "I will work harder and not delay the girl's business."
