MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 97 The baby was beaten

Chapter 97 The baby was beaten

The stones on Qin Yao's side were in place, and the four of them officially started polishing the disc under the pavilion on the roadside.

Carpenter Liu also prepared the wood, and settled the payment for the wood with Qin Yao with three taels of silver.

The materials were carried over from his father-in-law's house for his own use. The price was very low, but compared to selling to those timber merchants, there was no middleman to make a difference in price, so 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.

Timber, stone, and labor are all from their own village. When they make money, they can also help other people in the village 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, Qin Yao secretly laid the groundwork when doing this.

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

For example, Carpenter Liu and his father-in-law can ask the old man to cut some mature timber in advance and keep it. Anyway, everyone will go to the mountains to cut timber and prepare it when they have time, so that they can be sold when the timber merchants come.

Another example is the polishing skills of the three Liu Bai brothers. Qin Yao deliberately asked them to make them more refined so that they can be used as long as possible.

 Waterwheels and stone mills will suffer wear and damage during use. Qin Yao also promised to teach the people of Xiahe Village how to repair them.

But if she and Carpenter Liu quantified the sizes and produced some replacement parts themselves, would villagers who wanted parts to repair their waterwheels choose to come to them directly to buy them?

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 bearings, and rocker arms of the waterwheel are the most frequently repaired items, and it is very labor-intensive and delicate work for individuals to do.

Once they find that the size they made doesn’t fit, the villagers who are too lazy to use their brains will naturally think of looking for Carpenter Liu.

"Ms. Qin, do you think our water mill can really be popularized? Will so many people be willing to spend money to build it?"

 Although he was very excited, after calming down a little, Carpenter Liu was still not 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, “Didn’t you find that no one was in the mills in the village?”

Even now, even at night, there is still the sound of grinding in her water mill.

 The hours of use every day increased, so that she had to check the water tanker almost every two days to prevent it from going on strike.

 This is the disadvantage of using wood. If the bearing could be made of metal, there would be no need for such trouble.

 But metal means high cost. Who can afford it if every household drinks gruel?

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 told Carpenter Liu: "The market response may be a little behind, but the future prospects are bright."

Xiahe Village is wealthier than Liujia Village, with roads extending in all directions. The water mill was built in Xiahe Village, and its publicity is much stronger than that in Liujia Village.

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

Aunt Liu enthusiastically left a meal for her, but Qin Yao couldn't resist her hospitality. She had two bowls of vegetable porridge at Carpenter Liu's house and quickly stood up to leave.

　　She is too embarrassed to eat freely at other people's houses. If she doesn't go home, she will starve! It was already dark, and Qin Yao thought she could start dinner when she got home.

 Unexpectedly, the four children were not at home.

Liu Ji was cooking in the kitchen. Qin Yaohu asked: "How many elders are there?"

Liu Ji heard the noise and looked back blankly into the courtyard, "I just went out with the ball, haven't you come back yet?"

He rested for a while after copying the book. Unexpectedly, he was too sleepy and fell asleep on the chair. When he woke up, it was already very late. He thought that Qin Yao was coming back, but the meal was not done yet. He was so scared that the hair on his head stood on end.

I was so focused on cooking that I didn’t notice that it was completely dark and the four children at home hadn’t come back yet.

Qin Yao was really speechless for him. Although nothing would happen in the village, it was already so dark and she didn't see her child coming back. She didn't know why she should go out and look for him?

"How long have you been out?" Qin Yao put down her tools and asked standing in the courtyard.

Liu Ji brought out the last dish of fried bacon slices with cucumber shreds. Today, his cooking skills have exploded, and the taste must be good. He confidently brought it to Qin Yao for her to try, "I guess I've been out for almost two hours, so it won't be a problem. The village can’t lose it.”

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.

Qin Yao nodded, looking at the dishes without looking at the person, "Yes, your cooking skills have improved a lot."

Liu Ji said flatteringly: "It's all thanks to my wife. Without my wife's daily encouragement, my cooking skills wouldn't have improved 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!

Having accumulated enough energy to reach my throat, four familiar little figures appeared in my 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 stepped forward with a smile, "Why are you not hungry even after playing so late?"

"Eh? What's wrong with Dalang's face? Wait, Erlang, where is your hairband? Sanlang, Si Niang, are you 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 a row in front of her. With their heads raised, the dim light illuminated four little faces with bruises and bruises.

Qin Yao suddenly took a breath of cold air, and then looked at the Cuju in Dalang's arms. The bamboo pieces were scattered and it was scrapped, and her eyebrows instantly turned cold.

 “Who did it?!”

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

Saburo, who had always endured his grievances, burst into tears as soon as he saw his parents. "Wow!" he burst into tears. While crying, he sobbed and said, "It's Da Niu and Er Niu. Wuwuwu." ."

Si Niang glanced at her little brother with disgust, wiped her dirty little face, and said angrily:

“Aniang, my brother and I refused to give our Cuju to the big cow, so the two brothers pushed me away.”

“The eldest brother and the second brother started fighting with them from behind.”

Possibly because she found the air-conditioning on A Niang’s 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!"
