Chapter 61 Buying a Donkey (comments 19 plus more)
Xia Jiniang cleaned up the sundries in the backyard, worked with Zhang He to reassemble the stone mill, and then cleaned away the broken wheels, tables and chairs that blocked the back door.And the back door is also very tattered, if it wasn't blocked by a pile of tatters, I don't know how many times it has been thieves.
From the back door, there is a path full of weeds leading to Qinghe, but Zhang He has never opened this door, and never went to Qinghe from here.What's more, she has a well, whether it is fetching water or doing laundry, she can solve it in the backyard, and there is no need to go to Qinghe except for grazing cattle and fishing.
There is also a small open space eight feet wide between the courtyard wall and the main house in the backyard. Due to long-term neglect, many weeds have grown.If weeds are pulled out, they can be put to good use.
Zhang He plans to use this place to plant some flowers as a flower garden, but if she has the opportunity, she can move the wall of the backyard outside, maybe she can build a back garden that can enjoy the shade.
A carpenter was asked to open a new door, and another vacant space was made for the stone mill.The bed load of the stone mill can be directly built, and the stone mill needs to be bought, but there is no need to go to the county town, as there are people who make this kind of agricultural equipment in the nearby villages.
Zhang He used an excuse to buy a donkey from a donkey family in Xiahe Village, twelve miles away from Qinghe Village. Zhang Xian hoped after hearing the words, "Second brother, let's raise a little yellow!"
"What is Xiao Huang?" Zhang He asked casually.
"Dog, big yellow dog!"
"You guys really like to name cows and dogs..." Xia Jiniang, who was peeling beans beside her, immediately put down her work when she heard this, and looked at Zhang He with a confused expression to see how she would answer.Although she is afraid of dogs, if Zhang He and Zhang Xian really want to keep them, she will bear with it!
Unexpectedly, Zhang He replied without thinking, "No."
"Why don't you raise it? Everyone else raises it. It's terrible to look after the house!"
"Because your second and second brother are afraid of dogs." Zhang He twitched his tongue.
Zhang Xian pouted: "Second brother is really useless, but second sister-in-law is better, second sister-in-law is not afraid of anything!"
Xia Jiniang didn't expect that Zhang He was also afraid of dogs, but facing Zhang Xian's praise and admiration, she felt a little guilty—she was also afraid!
When she was young, she went with Xia Da to a large family in the village to borrow things, and was almost bitten by the black dog raised by that family. Since then, she has always been a little afraid of dogs, and she would avoid dogs when they barked. .And Xia's family has many children, and they are afraid of being bitten by dogs, so they have never kept dogs.
Zhang He didn't care if he looked down upon him, if it could improve Xia Jiniang's status in Zhang Xian's heart, it would be worth it.She warned: "Listen to your second sister-in-law at home, don't go to Qinghe Village to play in the water, you understand?"
"understood."
"Jiniang, I'm going out." Zhang He took the bamboo hat and bamboo basket and greeted Xia Jiniang.
Xia Jiniang hurriedly stopped her, and asked helplessly, "Did you just go out like this?"
Zhang He looked at herself, it seemed that there was nothing wrong, she thought about it, and when Zhang Xian didn't look over, she kissed Xia Jiniang.She smiled and said, "Does Niang Ji think so?"
Xia Jiniang turned her head to look at Zhang Xian, and found that he was still immersed in the world of playing with beans and did not realize that they were so close, so she was slightly relieved.Although she had taken the initiative to kiss Zhang He when no one was around, she couldn't do so recklessly in front of people.
"What are you thinking about? How did you go without any money?" Xia Jiniang said, and took out ten Jiaozi from the purse at her waist and handed them to Zhang He, "Why don't I go buy them?"
"No, I still have some money here. I don't need to use my family's money. Right now, the silver eggplants are almost finished, and the grain has not been hulled yet, so there is no other income for the time being. In a few days, I will start harvesting soybeans again. You need money, so don't touch your money yet." Zhang He said.
Xia Jiniang thought it was reasonable, after all, saving this part of the money could also repair the cowshed as soon as possible, fulfilling Zhang He's wish.However, she thought that she would still have to give Zhang He and Zhang Xian some monthly money in the future, just in case.
"Then go back earlier and be careful on the way."
"Ok!"
Zhang He headed northwest along the small road beside the Qinghe River. Along the way, there were farmers working in the fields, and occasionally passers-by who went to other places like her. Zhang He never found a good opportunity to get the donkey out of the system. out.
After walking for five or six miles, she also gradually felt tired, so she found a stone under a tree and sat down to rest.The bamboo basket contained water and some cakes prepared by Xia Jiniang. It happened that she was hungry, so she took out a steamed cake and ate it.
This is an area where the water flow is quite turbulent. The gurgling river beat the fast-rotating bobbin cart, and a bobbin of water flowed into the fields across the Qinghe River.
Zhang He stared at it in a daze, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure beside him. He was wearing a light blue official uniform with a handkerchief on his head, but there was no leather belt for a rank officer on his waist, as if he was a low-level foreign official. .Holding a piece of charcoal in his hand, he circled the cart and wrote and drew on the paper.
Zhang He looked at him calmly for a long time, until he noticed Zhang He's gaze and looked over.
After a while, he ran to the nearest wooden bridge, and turned to Zhang He in a short while.Zhang He soon knew that he was coming towards him, and the alarm bells rang in his heart.
"I thought I was wrong, but I never thought that it was really Mr. Erlang of the Zhang family!" The man smiled at Zhang He.
Zhang He was puzzled: "Forgive me for my clumsy eyesight, I don't know who I am?"
"I forgot to report my family name. My name is Qiu San, and I am the Seventh Cao Zuoguan in Linchuan County. I often go to Qinghe Village, but I have no chance to get acquainted with you." Qiu San did not speak like Shi Qing, but rather rough .
The Qi Cao Zuo Guan was set up in comparison with the Qi Cao joining the army in the state capital, except that the Qi Cao joining the army in the state capital is an official with a rank; while the Qi Cao Zuo Guan in the county government only helps the county captain manage the chores of each township and village Qiu San is the assistant official in charge of the chores in the field.
The so-called Liuwai officials are miscellaneous officials who are not even nine-rank Zhima officials, and their status is only higher than Zaoli and county officials.Although Liuwai officials can also be promoted through political achievements, their backgrounds have always been despised by Liunai officials and scholars.
"It turned out to be Qiu Zuoguan, sorry!" Although Qiu San is a foreign official, Zhang He will not despise him because of this, "I just saw Qiu Zuoguan looking at the bobbin cart for a long time, and I was curious. What are you doing?"
Qiu Sandao: "Oh, Mr. Zhang's Erlang doesn't know something. I have always thought that the Qinghe River is the most suitable place to build a bobbin cart because of its rapid flow. It's just that this bobbin cart extracts too little water each time, and the irrigation speed is too slow. , is far from quenching the thirst of the dry fields in the distance. If it can be improved, that would be great!"
Zhang He didn't expect there to be an official who was so devoted to farming, so he changed his view of Qiu San, her expression was solemn: "Then Qiu Zuoguan has a clue?"
"Are you willing to listen?" Qiu San-asked back, but he looked expectant.
"Appreciate further details."
Qiu San believes that the effect of the current agricultural equipment on farming is still not optimal. He believes that agricultural equipment can be improved. If it can save manpower and improve efficiency, it will undoubtedly be extremely beneficial to farming.
Moreover, he admired Lu Ban very much during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, and believed that it was because of his many inventions that today's stone mills, rice paddies, and mills appeared, but now the world has no ambition to forge ahead, otherwise there would be no agricultural tools. It won't stay the same all the time.
So he read a lot of books, and often took advantage of his position to walk around the countryside, hoping to make some achievements.After pondering for many years, he found that if he could combine the barrel car and the keel tipper, use the turbulent water flow to move the barrel car, and then build a rotating shaft so that it can automatically push the keel tipper to turn, then the benefits can be doubled.He has even thought of a name—Water Turning Overturned Car!
Zhang He only listened to his description and found that it was feasible in theory. After all, he knew how to use the transmission relationship between the rotating shaft and the gear teeth to build it.
"If it can be done, it will be a great merit." Zhang He said.
Qiu San said with regret: "Just to build a drum cart costs ten guan, but if you want to build a water-turning cart, you need at least a few tens of guan. The yamen doesn't have that much money. But I still have decades to do it." Think about it slowly."
"What Qiu Zuoguan said is very true." After Zhang He finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that if Qiu San could really design the transmission mechanism, could she entrust him to make a pedal thresher? !
Zhang He had always listened carefully to what he said, and often nodded in agreement, which made Qiu San, who had always been friends with him with impure purposes, feel ashamed.He hurriedly asked: "I haven't asked Zhang Erlang where he is going? I'm really sorry for delaying you for so long."
"I'm going to Xiahe Village."
"Shall I give you a ride?"
Zhang He quickly declined, if Qiu San were to follow, she would have no chance to let the donkey out.Seeing that she refused, Qiu San was no longer persistent, and after sending her away for a while, he went back to his own business.
Zhang He walked a long way, and finally reached a section of road surrounded by small forests. The view here was not wide, and no one was passing by at this time. She hurriedly released a black donkey from the warehouse of the ranch.
As soon as the black donkey appeared, he was frightened by the strange environment in front of him and turned around a few times, but somehow he didn't run away.Zhang He had already prepared a rein in his bamboo basket. Worried that it would not cooperate, he deliberately took out some grass from the system warehouse and put the noose on its head while feeding it.
This black donkey is tall and tall, with thin skin and fine hair. Except for the white hair on the lower abdomen, the rest of the hair color is dark brown.Its fur is very clean, and it is easy to be confused with Ma Nong from a distance.
Looking up at the sky, Zhang He muttered to himself: "The time spent talking with Qiu San is exactly the same as the time spent in Xiahe Village, so let's go back!"
The black donkey was eating pasture. Hearing this, he raised his head and bowed towards Zhang He's bamboo basket.There was nothing in the bamboo basket except water, Zhang He took out the bamboo tube containing water, and the black donkey licked it.
"This donkey is so smart!" Zhang He was surprised, but still gave it some water.
After drinking the water, Zhang He tugged on the rein and said, "Let's go!" Remembering that donkeys are docile animals, she tried to climb on its back and sit.
At first the black donkey refused to move, but Zhang He gave it a yank with the rein, and it immediately ran forward.Zhang He had ridden a horse in tourist attractions before, but she had never tried riding without a saddle and protective equipment to protect her body, so she nervously supported the black donkey's neck. Fortunately, she got used to it after a while.
In order to prevent encountering Qiu San on the way back, she took a detour and returned to Qinghe Village before the sun went down.
