"Master, wait a minute, I have prepared a bottle of good wine for you!"

Zhou Tian saw his master was about to pick up his chopsticks, when he suddenly remembered that he still had a few bottles of Moutai in the space. He stopped his master and turned into the kitchen. He took out a bottle of Moutai, opened the lid and handed it to his master as if it were a treasure.

"Wow, it's Maotai. Xiaotian, this meal is so luxurious!"

Liu Wuming took the Moutai liquor handed over by his apprentice, smelled the aroma of the liquor and couldn't help swallowing his saliva and said in amazement.

You know, if this meal alone doesn't include Moutai, he calculated that it would cost at least 50,000 yuan. If Moutai is added, it would probably cost at least 80,000 yuan.

Although Moutai at that time was not as famous as it is later, it can still be considered a rare good wine!

This was almost a week's salary for a junior worker. However, thinking of what his apprentice had just said, he could only shake his head in his heart and started eating with mixed feelings.

Liu Wuming was full of praise for the meal. Even though he knew that his apprentice had a good talent in cooking, he did not expect that his cooking skills would improve to such a level in just half a year.

Not to mention Liu Wuming, even San Xiao was eating with his mouth full of oil. He had no time to look up and just kept his head down eating.

After the meal, everyone was full. After taking a break, Zhou Tian asked Sanxiao to clean up the dishes while he sent his master Liu Wuming home.

Riding a bicycle and feeling the cool evening breeze, Liu Wuming's drunkenness suddenly lessened a little and he felt a little better.

Thinking of the meal tonight, even though he enjoyed it very much and was very satisfied, he still felt a little distressed when he thought of the cost. He couldn't help but said, "Xiaotian, don't be so extravagant like today in the future. Although your current salary is not low, you still have brothers and sisters to support, and you have to save money for your wedding. If you can save a little in the future, try to save as much as possible!"

"Master, don't worry, I know everything. It's not just that I got promoted today, and I haven't eaten with you for a long time, so I prepared something rich. Don't worry, I won't do this again in the future!"

Zhou Tian listened to his master's advice without feeling unhappy at all. After all, he knew that his master was doing it for his own good, so he was very patient.

"That's good. Your parents are gone, and no one is worrying about your marriage. Now that you've grown up, Master plans to talk to your mistress to see if there are any suitable girls nearby. It's time for you to think about your lifelong event!"

As he spoke, Liu Wuming suddenly mentioned the matter of marriage, which immediately changed Zhou Tian's expression. He didn't expect that his master was just scolding him for spending money, but now he changed the subject and talked about his marriage again.

For a moment, he could not help but laugh or cry. However, Zhou Tian had his own ideas about marriage and was not in a hurry. Hearing this, an idea suddenly occurred to him and he said, "Master, what do you think about us researching agricultural machinery next?"

"Farm machinery?"

When Liu Wuming heard Zhou Tian's words, he was stunned at first. He was clearly talking to this guy about marriage, so why did this guy suddenly talk about farm machinery?

However, Liu Wuming was an experienced man after all, and he quickly understood what he meant. He then slapped Zhou Tian on the back and scolded him with a smile: "You little bastard, if you don't want Master to worry about your marriage, just say so. Why bother bringing up the farm machinery issue? But you better say it, little bastard, this idea is quite reliable."

As he spoke, Liu Wuming also began to think about the feasibility. Obviously, he did not think his apprentice was joking.

Liu Wuming didn't know much about agricultural machinery. What he knew was limited to the oil presses and rice mills in daily life, and the tractors he had seen in the newspapers.

As for whether his apprentice could figure it out, in his opinion it was not a big deal at all. After all, he had already developed a horizontal lathe that was more complicated than agricultural machinery, let alone agricultural machinery.

Now he was curious about which aspect his apprentice wanted to start with first.

"So what are you going to start with? The tractor?"

Zhou Tian felt relieved when he heard that his master no longer mentioned marriage. However, when he heard the following words, he couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Master, you think too highly of your disciple. We can't develop a tractor right now. I plan to start with the most basic rice mill!"

As he spoke, Zhou Tian told his thoughts to his master, and before he knew it, they had arrived at his master's house.

Liu Wuming got off the bicycle and was still thinking about what his apprentice had just said, but he didn't notice that Zhou Tian had already left on his bicycle.

"Boss, why are you still standing at the door? Aren't you cold?"

When his wife's voice woke him up from his thoughts, he realized that he had already arrived home. As for Zhou Tian, ​​he had already run away. He immediately reacted and couldn't help laughing in anger.

"This brat, this is what he was planning!"

However, after Zhou Tian sent his master to the door, he left in a hurry. It was not that he did not want to send his master home, but his master's wife was really too scary.

Just like Master just now, whenever Zhou Tian went to Master's house, Master's wife would bring up the matter of his marriage, and it wasn't just once or twice. Zhou Tian was numb to this matter, and Master's wife's "death-threatening and continuous urging" made him feel like a terrible torture, so he would send Master to the door and dare not go in.

After returning home, Zhou Tian went upstairs first. Seeing that his younger brother and sister had gone to bed, he returned to his room to continue drawing the blueprint of the rice mill.

After two days, Zhou Tian finally finished drawing the blueprint of a small rice mill.

In the office, looking at his masterpiece in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a different kind of satisfaction in his heart. Unlike the horizontal lathe, although the rice mill has a simple structure, it was drawn by himself based on the rice mill in his memory of his previous life.

Both the design of the outer shell and the innovation of the roller took Zhou Tian a lot of energy. Even when he was working on the horizontal lathe, he did not spend so much energy.

To put it bluntly, one is a copy and the other is an original creation. Although the appearance is inevitably borrowed from the previous life, it has its own things in it, and the difference in difficulty is quite large.

Today's rice milling machines are usually composed of a fixed wrench, a tightening nut wrench, a brush, a lower hopper, a grinding wheel, a wire brush, etc. The principle is to use the mechanical force generated by the mechanical equipment to peel and whiten the brown rice.

Not only is the efficiency slow, but the rice breakage rate is high, the milled rice is not fine enough, and it also has the disadvantage of having relatively single functions.

However, the rice mill designed by Zhou Tian was a separate rice mill that he had seen in the countryside. The performance of this rice mill was much better than the current rice mills.

After Zhou Tian's improvements and innovations, it may have more advantages in terms of operational convenience, rice processing capacity, etc., and may be more efficient.

At the very least, it can process different types of rice, and the rice it grinds out will even be much better than the current rice quality, not to mention the broken rice rate.

And the design may be more reasonable, the structure may be more stable, and the stability and reliability during operation may be stronger.

After finishing the design, Zhou Tian took the separation rice mill and walked towards the factory office.

Arriving at the factory director's office, Director Yang was also processing documents. Seeing Zhou Tian walk in, he couldn't help but asked with a smile: "What's up, Xiaotian? What's the matter?"

"Director, I came to you because I have an idea and want to ask if it is feasible?"

Zhou Tian didn't bother to be polite with the factory manager and spoke directly.

"Ideas, what ideas? Come, sit down and tell me!"

When Director Yang heard Zhou Tian's words, his eyes suddenly brightened, especially when he saw the drawings in Zhou Tian's hand. He quickly stood up, pulled Zhou Tian to sit down on the sofa, and attentively poured Zhou Tian a cup of tea.
