Chapter 97
Qin Yao's stone materials were in place, and the four of them formally began to polish the disc under the roadside arbor.

Carpenter Liu also prepared the wood, and settled the wood with Qin Yao's side with three taels of silver.

The material was brought from his father-in-law's family and used by his own family. The price was very low, but compared to selling it to those timber merchants, there was no middleman to make a difference, and he got more copper plates.

Qin Yao was thinking at that time that if she could complete the order for Xiahe Village and attract more people from the villages near the river to place orders and form an industrial chain, it might directly drive the development of the entire Liujia Village.

Wood, stone, and labor are all from their own village. If they make money, they can also drive the villagers to make money.

However, this idea is just a good idea at present. The specific situation will only be known after the completion of the water mill in Xiahe Village.

But with this in mind, when Qin Yao was doing this, he secretly laid a foreshadowing.

For example, the extra stone was also beaten into a millstone.

For example, Carpenter Liu, his father-in-law, can ask the old man to cut some timber in advance and keep it. Anyway, everyone will go to the mountains to cut wood for preparation when the timber merchants come.

Another example is the polishing skills of the three Liu Bai brothers. Qin Yao deliberately let them do it more carefully, and the longer they can be used, the better.

Waterwheels and stone mills will be worn and damaged during use. Qin Yao also promised to teach the people of Xiahe Village how to repair them.

But if she and Carpenter Liu quantify the dimensions and produce some replacement parts by themselves, will the villagers who want parts to repair the waterwheel choose to come to them directly to buy?

Thinking of this, Qin Yao returned to the village after polishing that day and excitedly went to discuss with Carpenter Liu.

The two hit it off immediately and immediately drafted the data and put it away for later use.

Among them, the fan blades, bearing shafts, and rocker arms of the waterwheel are the things that need to be repaired most frequently, and it is very laborious for individuals to do it, which is a delicate job.

Once they found that the size they made couldn't fit, the villagers who were too lazy to bother would naturally think of looking for Carpenter Liu.

"Miss Qin, do you think our water mill can really be promoted? There will be so many people willing to spend money to make it?"

Although very excited, but after calming down a bit, Carpenter Liu was still not very confident.

After all, when Qin Yao first made the water mill, the reaction of the villagers was very telling.

But it's different now, Qin Yao asked back: "Didn't you find that there are no people going to the mill in the village?"

Now even at night, there is still the movement of grinding in her water mill.

The daily use time has increased, so she has to check the waterwheel almost every two days, lest it go on strike.

This is the disadvantage of using wood. If the bearing can be made of metal, it will not be so troublesome.

But metal means that the cost is high. Who can afford the porridge that every household eats.

Habits are a terrible thing. After using the convenient water mill, who would still want to use a human stone mill?
Carpenter Liu thought for a while, and it seemed that it was true that there were no people in the old mill now, but at Qin Yao's water mill, more and more people were queuing up.

Qin Yao confidently said to Carpenter Liu: "The market response may be a little behind, but the future prospects are bright."

Xiahe Village is richer than Liujia Village, and the roads extend in all directions. The water mill was built in Xiahe Village, and its own propaganda is much stronger than that in Liujia Village.

Carpenter Liu smiled when he thought about the lively scene in the future.

Aunt Liu was enthusiastic about leaving a meal, but Qin Yao's kindness could not be denied. After eating two bowls of vegetable porridge at Carpenter Liu's house, she quickly got up and said goodbye.

I'm too embarrassed to let go of eating at someone else's house, and if she doesn't go home, she will be hungry!

It was already dark, and Qin Yao thought that she would be able to have dinner when she got home.

Unexpectedly, the four children were not at home.

Liu Ji was cooking in the kitchen, and Qin Yaohu asked, "How many Dalang?"

Hearing the movement, Liu Ji looked back at the yard in a daze, "I just went out with the ball, haven't you come back yet?"

He rested for a while after copying the book, but he was too sleepy to sit on the chair and fell asleep. When he woke up, it was already late. Thinking that Qin Yao was coming back, but he hadn't cooked yet, he was so scared that his hairs stood on end.

I was so engrossed in cooking that I didn't notice for a while that it was already dark and the four children in the family hadn't come back yet.

Qin Yao is really speechless to him, although nothing will happen in the village, but it is so dark and the child has not come back, so I don't know if I should go out and look for it?
"How long have you been out?" Qin Yao put down her tools and asked while standing in the courtyard.

Liu Ji brought out the last piece of stir-fried bacon sliced ​​with cucumber shreds. Today's cooking skills exploded, and the taste must be good. He confidently brought it to Qin Yao for her to taste, "I guess it's almost two hours away, it's okay, The village can’t lose it again.”

Qin Yao thought so. The aroma of cooking penetrated her nose one after another, and she couldn't help but pinch a piece of bacon and throw it into her mouth.

"Is it delicious?" Liu Ji asked expectantly.

The bacon is stewed until it becomes soft and melts in your mouth. It is mixed with the sweet juice of cucumber. It doesn't taste greasy at all, but is very appetizing.

Instead of looking at people and vegetables, Qin Yao nodded, "That's right, your cooking skills have improved a lot."

Liu Ji said obsequiously: "It's all due to my wife. Without my lady's daily encouragement, I wouldn't be able to improve my cooking skills so fast."

Qin Yao chuckled and motioned for him to bring the dishes in, put the bowls and chopsticks in place, walked to the flat dam in front of her house, took a deep breath, and opened her mouth to shout in the direction of the village: Go home for dinner!

After accumulating energy to the point of his throat, four familiar little figures appeared in his sight, each with their heads drooped, trotting towards home.

Qin Yao had no choice but to hold back the words of going home for dinner, and walked forward with a smile, "Why are you not hungry after playing so late?"

"Huh? Dalang, what's wrong with your face? Wait, Erlang, where's your hairband? Sanlang, Siniang, did you go rolling in the mud?"

Qin Yao hurriedly stopped the four brothers and sisters who were trying to run in front of her. From the oldest to the youngest, they stood in front of her and raised their heads. The dim light reflected four small faces with bruises and swollen faces.

Qin Yao suddenly took a deep breath, and looked at the Cuju held in Dalang's arms, the bamboo pieces were all scattered and scrapped, her brows turned cold instantly.

"Who did it?!"

Liu Ji screamed and stepped out of the courtyard, furious.

Saburo, who had always endured his grievances, burst into tears when he saw his father and mother. "Wow!" he burst into tears, sobbing and saying, "It's Da Niu and Er Niu... woo woo woo .”

Si Niang glanced at her little brother with disgust, wiped her dirty little face, and said angrily:
"Aniang, Da Niu robbed us of our Cuju, but my little brother and I refused to give it to me, so the two brothers pushed me."

"Back, the big brother and the second brother started fighting with them."

Perhaps because she found the air-conditioning on her body too scary, the little girl's voice of complaint became weaker unconsciously.

But she didn't cry, Si Niang pouted her little mouth in dissatisfaction, clenched her little fists, and said, "Humph!"
