Chapter 61 You want to fart (three more)
Carpenter Liu also added that this was a blueprint given by Qin Yao, and he would not do it without her consent if he wanted to make a new one.

In this way, even Liu Dafu gave up, and it would be more cost-effective to rent Qin Yao's house.

Qin Yao and Carpenter Liu looked at each other secretly, and the two reached a tacit agreement that he would grind for free in the future.

People had enough of the excitement and gradually dispersed.

In the end, only the Liu family remained at the water mill.

There were too many people just now, Qiu Shigang was pregnant and afraid of being bumped and dared not approach, Zhang Shi and He Shi were also pushed outside by others.

At this moment, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had the opportunity to watch the water mill of Qin Yao's family up close. Seeing that the stone mill was spinning "whirring and whirring" by itself, they felt that the mill was very pleasant.

However, I also learned from Carpenter Liu that the water mill cost as much as two taels of silver, and I felt it was a waste.

"It's good to polish it well, but when you think about it costing two taels of silver, tsk tsk. Sister, you are really willing to give it up."

He looked at the whirling waterwheel in pain, thinking that it was only two taels of silver, and frowned unconsciously.

Old man Liu also looked curiously at Qin Yao, who was going to put stones to block the water, "Old man, how did you come up with this water mill?"

As far as the two acres of free-range wheat fields of her and the third child are concerned, the harvested wheat is not enough for this water mill to grind.

In Liu's view, it's a bit like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer-pure waste!
Qin Yao blocked the river, the water flow decreased rapidly, and the turning stone mill slowly stopped.

She explained: "I use this water mill to make a living and make it easier for my family."

"My family?" He tentatively asked: "Our family uses it for our own family, do you want to pay for it?"

Qin Yao smiled at her, "Of course not!"

Mrs. He is a bit greedy for petty gains, but she is also warm-hearted. She usually does a lot of small favors for her. This is good, and Qin Yao will of course give her.

After all, this is a clan society, and although interpersonal communication is troublesome, it cannot be avoided.Because if the relationship is established, it will indeed bring her many invisible benefits.

For example, her waterwheel and stone mill will be placed by the river tonight, and she won't worry about being stolen by the villagers.

Liu Ji is separated, but he still has three brothers in his old home.

The two sister-in-laws are usually very popular in the village, and the young daughter-in-laws help them. If something is stolen from the house, these watchful daughter-in-laws can immediately find out who the thief is.

Grinding is a torturous job. Men often have to go to the ground, but in the end this job still falls into the hands of women.

Now with Qin Yao's consent, He and Qiu said excitedly that they would bring the wheat from home to grind tomorrow, and test the efficiency of the water mill for Qin Yao.

"That's no problem." Qin Yao nodded.

But she also has a favor that needs help from the old man.

"Dad, I want to make a living from this water mill, so I have to build a house to make it look decent."

Old man Liu nodded his head to express his understanding, and looked at Liu Ji, "San'er, bring your sickle and meet us tomorrow morning. Let's go and cut the grass first, and then go to the Nanshan Mountain to cut a few bamboos. One day's work will be enough." Can build this shed."

As soon as he heard that he was going to work in the mountains, Liu Ji's face fell down, and he let out a grudging oh.

Qin Yao showed a smile, "Then thank you for your hard work. Come to my house for dinner tomorrow night. I'll go to Shopkeeper Liu's house to buy two catties of wine for the big guy and have a good meal."

Zhang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also laughed. Knowing that Qin Yao can't cook, they planned to come to her house early tomorrow to help cook.

Jinhua and Siniang suddenly poked their little heads out and asked in a low voice expectantly: "Auntie, can you eat meat?"

"Eat!" Qin Yao agreed because she was also greedy.

Counting it, tomorrow happens to be the meat-eating day every five days.

However, there is no pork at home. Recently, the villagers are busy with the work in the field, and no one goes to the town to help bring meat.

But this is not a problem for Qin Yao, catch fish and hunt birds, she promises to serve the meat on the table tomorrow.

There is wine and meat, and the children are looking forward to it.

The two families discussed the details of tomorrow's actions on the spot before leaving home.

After returning home, Liu Ji helped pour the footbath water and stood beside him with bright eyes and asked:

"My lady, how do you plan to collect money? Our water mill works so well, it can't be cheap for the villagers!"

Qin Yao took off her shoes and socks, put her feet in the hot water at a moderate temperature, leaned comfortably on the back of the chair, squinted her eyes and asked, "How much do you want to charge?"

Liu Ji sneered, "This is a water mill made by you, lady, it's better for you to decide."

"But," he added, "I think it should be calculated according to the time used, such as five cents per hour."

"In this way, twelve hours a day is sixty coins, and one month is one thousand eight hundred coins." Liu Ji's eyes lit up just thinking about it.

Qin Yao snorted, "You want to fart."

Liu Ji was speechless, why did he start scolding people again.

But this is the financial owner in front of her, and she has to support her. If she really wants to earn [-] yuan a month, then she will be the Bodhisattva of the family!

"Lady, how much do you think is appropriate?"

Seeing that she was almost soaked, Liu Ji handed over the foot wash handkerchief. Qin Yao wiped her feet, thought for a while and said, "Let's try five cents an hour first."

Hearing this, Liu Ji muttered, "It's not like what I said, and you still scold me."

Qin Yao rolled his eyes at him, "The price is the same as what you said, but it's impossible to fill up at twelve hours a day, and it's impossible for the waterwheel to be undamaged. It's not bad to have five or six hours a day."

Liu Ji really didn't think about the damage of the waterwheel, "Huh?" said, "Is it easy to break?"

"Easy." Qin Yao said: "It is wood after all, and there are weeds in the river that are easy to get involved, so you still have to be careful."

Liu Ji lost most of his interest in an instant, poured the footwashing water, and slipped away.

After checking the doors and windows, Qin Yao went to the house of the four Dalang brothers and sisters, and then returned to her room with peace of mind, and lay down on the bed to settle the accounts.

If the water mill can be opened for five hours a day, there will be 25 Wen in that day, and 750 Wen in a month.

Fine rice costs eight cents a catty, and you can buy 93 and a half catties, which is a very good income.

Of course, this is just the best idea, and the actual situation will only be known after practice.

Thinking of this, Qin Yao fell asleep in a daze.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already around six o'clock the next morning.

The smell of rice wafts out of the kitchen. Liu Ji usually gets up at 05:30 to do breakfast and housework. During his cooking time, he packs up clothes and washes them by the river.

At this time, the women in the village are still busy at home, so no one by the river will see him washing clothes as a big man.

On this point, the husband and wife maintained a tacit understanding, Qin Yao did not deliberately publicize it, and Liu Ji deliberately concealed it.

So no one knows that Liu Ji has to do housework and laundry in addition to cooking at home.

Qin Yao got up and completed her daily morning exercise task in the backyard - two hundred pull-ups.

After sweating, I washed up and had breakfast.
