Wearing sixty with a male god
Chapter 94 The Threshing Machine
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Chen Youshan found two flashlights that he carefully kept from the cabinet, and walked to the ground one by one in each hand.Even the hoe was carried by his sons who were with him, and he grabbed the flashlight tightly, and no one dared to give it to him.
His appearance really attracted the attention of many people on the road, and several villagers who came together greeted him, and their eyes all slipped on his hands.
After all, Chen Youshan had gone through a lot of things, so he didn't change his face. When he was far away, the villagers dared to get together and whisper a few words.
"What do you think the second brother is doing, why are you holding two flashlights in broad daylight?"
"That's right, didn't Chen Jianshe break the flashlight in his house? I also heard that Uncle Shan went around looking for someone to fix it."
"Whose is the other flashlight? Isn't his family the only one in our village who has this rare thing?"
"Who knows."
"Why don't we go and have a look!"
"Look, let's go, let's go together..."
It was still early, and the villagers became curious, and followed Chen Youshan and his party from a distance. Fortunately, Chen Youshan didn't turn elsewhere, and went directly to the field.The villagers were also going to gather here, and after receiving the tasks for the day, they went to the fields separately.
Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen had been waiting there for a long time. Seeing Xu Hengzhou, Chen Youshan hurriedly returned his flashlight, and he was relieved.
Xu Hengzhou handed it to Xiang Chen, then took the one from Chen Youshan's hand to examine it carefully, and immediately surrounded by a large group of watching villagers.
"What is this for?"
"Fix the flashlight?"
"Hey, just kidding, such a young doll, can fix a flashlight?"
"He is a scholar from the city, why can't he?"
"Then Uncle Shan also found the educated youth who came earlier, who can cultivate?"
"Hey, stop arguing, it's bright!"
The villagers looked at the normally glowing flashlight in Xu Hengzhou's hand in surprise. Xu Hengzhou fiddled with the switch and returned it to Chen Youshan after making sure that the flashlight was working normally.
Chen Youshan's eyes widened: "This, this is all right?"
He looked at the flashlight in Xiang Chen's hand, almost wondering if he had confused the two, but the one in his house had a mark on it!
Seeing Chen Youshan looking over, Xiang Chen cleverly turned on his own flashlight, both of which were good flashlights that could be used normally.
At this time, Chen Youshan and other onlookers were completely convinced. For the old peasants who carried hoes, being able to play with these mechanical gadgets was amazing.Although the flashlight is just a small object with very low technical content, it is still very important in the eyes of the villagers.
"It's really capable!"
"Yes, such a young man, how can he know so much?"
"I heard that his little brother is only that old, and he has finished high school! Isn't it even more important to be a brother?"
"I've also heard that these two brothers must not be Wenqu stars from the sky descending to earth!"
"It looks like I've never seen such handsome brothers before."
"You mother-in-law, it's too old to look at other people's looks, so be ashamed!"
"What are you ashamed of? You are good-looking and capable. Why can't you look at it? Maybe in the future when our family has these rare objects, we can ask him to repair them."
"Function your daydream, what good things can you afford for those two shabby cottages in your house!"
"Hi, you..."
The villagers chatted lively gossip, and after a while they ran away from the topic.
Chen Youshan looked at his own flashlight happily for a while, then carefully put it away, and decided to take it home and put it away before going back to work.
I happened to hear a few villagers talking, the speakers were not intentional, but the listeners were interested. He, Chen Youshan, was the head of the village after all, so he thought differently from ordinary villagers.
Chen Youshan was very excited by the idea that popped up in his head, he grabbed Xu Hengzhou: "Comrade Xu, let me ask you, do you still repair other things?"
"Village chief, what area are you referring to?" Xu Hengzhou was overjoyed, but his expression remained calm. He was able to repair the flashlight at Chen Youshan's house last night, but he deliberately dragged it in front of everyone to repair it. intended.
But because he just came here, he didn't know anyone he knew well, and it was even harder to contact Jiang Miao casually after they moved out. He really didn't know enough about the news in the village.
So he made things to this point, just to pave the way for the future, in case there is such a chance, the villagers will think of him.However, it now appears that he was lucky and just happened to hit it.
Sure enough, Chen Youshan asked, "Can you repair agricultural machinery? Threshing machines."
Xu Hengzhou's mind has settled down. He guessed right. At this time, farming is basically done by people. There are only some simple farm tools left and right in the village.
He has been in the machinery factory for so many years, and it is not for nothing. Although he did not enter the factory a few years ago, he has learned a lot.
And there are a lot of books in his space. Although the relevant content is too advanced and made him seem to have a headache at one point, he did learn a lot of practical skills by comparison.Repairing a farm machine or something won't bother him.
Of course it was impossible for Xu Hengzhou to act as if he had no problem with winning. Although he had repaired Chen Youshan's flashlight, if he acted like this, the villagers would not believe it.
In their simple and simple values, not to mention anything else, a flashlight is not at the same level as a threshing machine in terms of body size. If you repair the flashlight, you may not be able to repair this big guy!
So Xu Hengzhou said very humbly: "I've seen it before and touched it, but I haven't tried it myself, so I dare not promise you that it can be repaired."
Hearing what he said, Chen Youshan believed him a little bit. He was afraid that he would not dare to do anything, so he quickly comforted him: "It's okay, you can take a look first. If it doesn't work well, I don't blame you."
Anyway, it was bad in the first place, Chen Youshan thought to himself.
The threshing machine in their village was distributed by the commune a few years ago. Of course, the village also provided part of the money and food, and the other was subsidized by the commune. It was because their village was commended every time that they had this opportunity. Chen Youshan When the village chief took the villagers to move the machine back, it was an honor, and it could be listed as one of the most glorious moments in Chen Youshan's political career.
Of course, the threshing machine is also very easy to use, saving time and effort, especially when the farming season is busy, it is really a big help.People in the village have tasted the sweetness, and no one does not miss it, and even discusses whether there is a chance to get another one back.
It's a pity that before they could raise enough money to find a chance, the one in the village broke down. This is not Chen Youshan's heartache, but the whole village's heartache!
What a great thing, why can't it be used?Chen Youshan was so anxious that the corners of his mouth became blisters, and he immediately left for the commune, wanting to ask them to send someone to take a look.
But this thing is not produced by the commune, it is produced by the agricultural machinery factory. The people in the commune don't know how to repair it, so they can only ask him and ask him to come back and wait for news.
This wait lasted for two or three years. In the first year, every time Chen Youshan went back to the commune, he asked questions, but every time he got the answer that no one was invited, he asked him to wait, wait, and Chen Youshan gave up. .The point is that there was no hope at all, so he didn't even bother to ask later, and the commune didn't invite anyone to repair it for them.
As far as Chen Youshan knew, the other two villages in the commune with threshing machines also broke down one after another, and no one came to repair them. They were all stored in warehouses to accumulate dust.
In fact, it’s not that things are not durable. At this time, the quality of many things is really good, but the threshing machine is a machine, but it still needs to rest. It will definitely wear out after long-term use, and when the village is busy with farming, it is used around the clock. use.The current threshing machine is the semi-manual type that is stepped on by feet. The people who use it are different. It is light and heavy, and the machine rotates continuously. It is strange that it is not broken after such a toss.
But Chen Youshan and the others didn't know, wow, if they knew, they wouldn't dare to do this, but it's already happened, the threshing machine is broken and can't be used.
So Chen Youshan asked Xu Hengzhou to repair the threshing machine. It was a dead horse as a living horse doctor. It would be the best if it could be repaired. The whole village thanked him.
Hearing what Chen Youshan said, Xu Hengzhou said reservedly: "That's fine, I'll try."
Therefore, he didn't need to do the farm work, and he was directly taken to repair the machine. Of course, with the consent of the villagers, he could be credited with full work points.
Xu Hengzhou also knew in his heart that if he didn't get results for a long time, this kind of good thing would definitely be gone.
"Chenchen, take the flashlight home, and brother will go with them to have a look." Xu Hengzhou told Xiang Chen, and then followed Chen Youshan.
When he arrived at the place where the threshing machine was placed, Chen Youshan lifted the straw covering it, revealing the threshing machine underneath.Fortunately, his collection is quite meticulous. If it is full of dust, it will take a lot of effort to clean it up.
Xu Hengzhou knelt down to examine carefully for a long while, while Chen Youshan didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing his train of thought. It wasn't until Xu Hengzhou stood up that he asked cautiously, "How is it? Can it be repaired?"
Xu Hengzhou nodded, and gave him good news: "I think it can be repaired. I have seen this before, and I have seen others have repaired it, but I have to give me some time."
Chen Youshan was overjoyed, and quickly said: "As long as you can repair it, as long as you can repair it."
He originally just wanted to try his luck, but he didn't expect to be lucky. If the threshing machine can be repaired, it will save them a lot of trouble!And with Xu Hengzhou here, he was not afraid that the machine would break down again. Chen Youshan felt that it was a wise decision for him to agree to accept Xu Hengzhou to bring a child to the village!
"You can rest assured to repair here, the work points will be recorded for you, and you will definitely not suffer any disadvantages." Chen Youshan promised firmly.
Xu Hengzhou smiled, accepted his kindness, and said two kind words to calm him down: "Uncle, don't worry, I will try my best to fix it as soon as possible."
"That's good, that's good." Chen Youshan felt more at ease. He looked at the young man who had checked the machine carefully, and he didn't dare to disturb him, and quietly exited the barn where the threshing machine was placed.
Standing at the door of the barn, Chen Youshan thought for a moment. He still remembered what Xu Hengzhou had mentioned to him about building a firewood house. Originally, he planned to wait until the fields were cleaned up in two days before looking for someone. Time is less, people are idle, and it is convenient.
But now it seems that this matter cannot be delayed, what if Xu Hengzhou has been distracted by thinking about this matter?If he was distracted and forgot how to repair the machine, he would be wronged!
At this time, as the village head, I should solve the worries for the little comrades, Chen Youshan said to himself in his heart.
He turned his head and glanced at the barn again. Xu Hengzhou had already started dismantling the machine, and it seemed to be doing well. Chen Youshan couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and his thoughts became more determined.
So, at noon that day, when Xu Hengzhou went home for dinner, he met two groups of people.
Xu Hengzhou told him yesterday that someone was coming to the family today, so when Xiang Chen was cooking at noon, he cooked corn mush. On the surface, there was only one earthen pot that could be used in their house, and they didn't have the conditions to make other food.
Fortunately, his cornmeal is very fine, and the paste it cooks is still sweet and sweet. Xu Hengzhou drank two big bowls of it in one go with the addition of some plums to make small pickles.
The first wave of people came when he was eating the second bowl.I don't blame him, he came back late at noon today, so he ate late too. According to his normal routine, he should be taking a nap at this time.
It was none other than Aunt Yu and a few villagers she had found. Xu Hengzhou hurriedly invited them to eat together.
Those people really refused, and Aunt Yu urged him to eat the meal first and leave them alone.Xu Hengzhou held half a bowl of porridge by himself, and he didn't want to put it or not. Fortunately, Xiang Chen was smart and quickly poured water to entertain the guests. Xu Hengzhou went to the kitchen by packing up the bowls and chopsticks, and hurriedly put away the porridge.
After he tidied up and walked out, Aunt Yu introduced several other people to him: "This is Boss Chen, you know his younger brother, the third brother Chen who repaired your house a few days ago is his brother. He Something that was burned at home, but this."
Aunt Yu gave a thumbs up and continued: "Keep it safe for you to use. There are two more, they are the most famous craftsmen in our ten miles and eight villages. They are very good at carpentry. You can ask them to make furniture." , that's right!"
Aunt Yu praised her sincerity, and all of them had bright faces, apparently confident in their skills.Confidence is good, Xu Hengzhou doesn't care about that little reward, he is afraid of messing things up for him, and he will have to take trouble to clean them up later.And if Aunt Yu was able to find them, she probably wouldn't cheat him casually.
Xu Hengzhou has always been a man, first he expressed his admiration for them, which quickly made them smile, and then politely asked them to help and make some things, and they agreed smoothly.
Then those few people asked Xu Hengzhou about his requirements, what he wanted, and what kind of shape he wanted to make. Boss Chen was okay, he just asked about these and just burned it. The carpenter Chen Mutou also asked about the size and materials.
So Xu Hengzhou first told Boss Chen that he had planned it a long time ago. He needed one rice tank and two water tanks. They both like to be clean and use a lot of water.
In addition, burn a few earthen pots for backup and stew for a long time. If you don’t pay attention, it will easily burn the earthen pot when it is cold and hot. They don’t lack this money. It is very convenient to cook soup and porridge in a crock pot.
Reminded by Aunt Yu, I ordered a few more jars of pickled vegetables, and I will have my own vegetable garden in the future. The extra vegetables can be pickled, and it is very good to eat with porridge.
In addition to these, Xu Hengzhou also bought a few jars of different sizes for backup. Although he didn't think about what to do, he was prepared.
Boss Chen wrote down Xu Hengzhou's requests one by one, and then agreed on the reward in front of Aunt Yu.Xu Hengzhou likes this kind of thing very much, so let's make it clear first so as not to quarrel later.
"Your things, I can't burn them all at once, and I will definitely use the best mud for you, this is..."
"It's okay, you can just say that you can't afford to save money when buying a house, I know it." Xu Hengzhou looked calm, he was really not afraid of this person asking for a price.
Boss Chen hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly, "I, I heard that you have white sugar, can I have two catties of sugar?"
Xu Hengzhou was startled, the price... is really low.
The things he wants, let’s talk about those big tanks, the bigger the more trouble, it’s really not easy to burn, from dredging to shaping and then to firing, if there is a slight mistake, it’s over, you have to start all over again, and burn it. Things are really useless firewood, and I don’t know how much firewood is used.
When Boss Chen saw that he didn't speak, he felt anxious. Like his younger brother, he was an honest person, and he didn't know what to say, but he really wanted to do a good job.He has thought about it, he will burn it a few more times this time, pick the best ones and send them to others, and keep them for easy use.
He also felt that it was a little unkind for him to ask for white sugar. Usually when he cooks something for the villagers, he usually gives a bowl of cornmeal and two sweet potatoes. Jin, so he felt that he was a little guilty of doing so.
Boss Chen shook his lips, becoming more anxious and speechless, when Aunt Yu saw it, he immediately smoothed things over and said, "Hey, you can use food without sugar, which one still has so much white sugar for you, and I will send you two later." catty of grain."
The difference between two catties of grain and two catties of sugar is enormous, but Boss Chen muttered a bit, and finally bowed his head and acquiesced without saying anything.
She was also a little angry, this Boss Chen, how could he be like this, she came to see him because he was good at workmanship and honest, how could he be so indiscriminate in asking prices.This made her ashamed, and Xu Zhiqing might still feel that she was ganging up with someone to deceive him.
"No." Xu Hengzhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly explained: "I still have some white sugar in stock, and I was wondering if the price is too low."
Aunt Yu was surprised at first, and then said before Boss Chen could speak, "It's not low, it's not low."
Anyway, it was from a village, and Aunt Yu kept a few points, but she didn't say that Boss Chen's price was too high.
Boss Chen also nodded sharply, looking at Xu Hengzhou with some anticipation in his eyes.
Xu Hengzhou smiled, got up and entered the room, and came out with a paper bag in his hand: "This is two catties of white sugar. I don't have a scale at home. Did you find a steelyard to weigh it?"
"I'll do it." Aunt Yu volunteered, she took the paper bag, weighed it, and said affirmatively, "It's two catties, I'm afraid there are more."
The women in the village used to weigh their meals, and the women in the city also had to weigh their cribs. Everyone had steelyards in their hands, and even if it was bad, it was not bad.
Of course, it was impossible for Boss Chen to go to the scale again, not to mention that he believed in Aunt Yu in the first place, even if the difference was a few taels, he felt that it was not a loss.
Boss Chen opened the paper bag and took a look at the white candy inside. Although he didn't eat it, his heart was already sweet.
"Then I will leave my family affairs to Uncle Chen." Xu Hengzhou said politely after paying the reward.
Mr. Chen nodded repeatedly, full of energy in his heart, and made up his mind to have a good time with others, and must give them the best.
After making an agreement with Boss Chen, it will be the turn of Chen Mutou and his son. The two of them just saw Boss Chen opening the paper bag, and the white sugar inside almost stuck their eyes.
Therefore, after agreeing on the items needed, Chen Mutou's son Chen Shu couldn't wait to say: "We also want white sugar."
Their work is much heavier than Boss Chen's, because the family really lacks everything, and Xu Hengzhou ordered a lot of things.
Wardrobe, cabinets, desks, chests of drawers, dining tables, chairs, etc., even buckets and old wood can be made, so I just need a few. In addition, there are washbasins, foot basins, bathtubs, laundry tubs, and some odds and ends such as sticks, rolling pins and noodles. For chopsticks and other small items, Xu Hengzhou didn't bother the two masters, and wanted them all.
Originally, Xu Hengzhou wanted to make another bed, but after thinking about it, it would be really time-consuming, and he planned to warm up next year, and the soil would not be so hard, so if he tried to build a kang, it would not be necessary to make another bed. It is necessary, because just these are enough for Chen Mutou and the others to make for a long time. If the bed is put in the back, it may not be ready yet, and his kang is ready.
In this way, because there are many things, and they are all large, the reward is indispensable.This order is the biggest one that Chen Mutou has accepted in recent years. He has dealt with all these things, but no one asks for so much at one time.When people in the countryside marry their daughters, even if they love their children, it would be nice to have a cabinet as a dowry, and most of them usually take on such jobs.
Chen Shu opened his mouth to ask for sugar, and Chen Mutou gave him a bitter look. Of course, he also wanted it, but it was a bit aggressive and outrageous to speak out like this.
Xu Hengzhou didn't mind this. In his space, he only dug out about one-third of the sugar grid in the supermarket, and there was still a whole batch of stock in the warehouse, enough for the villagers to eat.
But no matter how much he has, he can't take it out so recklessly, just like Aunt Yu said, who would store so much sugar.Even if there are sugar tickets in the city, they are limited. Well, each person only has a little, how much can he save?
So Xu Hengzhou showed a somewhat embarrassed expression: "There is only a little hospitality left at home, and the payment must not be enough. Do you think you want something else?"
Both Chen Mutou and his son showed disappointed expressions on their faces, and Chen Shu even drooped his head, showing a bit of sadness.Just now he thought about it, if he could get white sugar in exchange for himself, he would ask his father for some and give it to Chun Nier next door to his house, Chun Nier would be so happy to eat such sweet candy!
"Then use food. Food is the best. It can fill your stomach. Who doesn't care?!" Aunt Yu continued to smooth things over, and Chen Mutou also came back to his senses, nodding his head to express his approval. After all, Xu Hengzhou is a big customer. Willing to pay, can not offend.
"If you don't want food, there are others."
Chen Shu immediately raised his head and looked straight at Xu Hengzhou, Chen Mutou also showed expectation, Xu Hengzhou said slowly: "I brought some snacks from the city, this one is also sweet, and it's made of grain, I don't know you Do you want it?"
"Yes, of course!" Chen Shu nodded hastily, his eyes almost glowing, dim sum, how rare are those in the city!
But it was Chen Mutou who made the decision, and he didn't ask to see what the dim sum looked like, so he agreed.
He has a carpentry skill. Compared with other villagers, he has an additional source of income. The family conditions are considered good in the village. Of course, he is more willing to ask for some rare things than food.These are hard currencies, and even if the family is short of food, they can exchange them with others at any time.But if you want to exchange food for these, except for this opportunity, it will be difficult.
Moreover, Chen Mutou saw that Xu Hengzhou paid Boss Chen generously, and many villagers who had dealt with him had a good impression of the Xu Hengzhou brothers, so Chen Mutou was not worried that Xu Hengzhou would cheat him, so he agreed directly.
Sure enough, Xu Hengzhou went into the room and took out a few packs of snacks. After showing them to Chen Mutou and his son, they were very satisfied.
There are not only the square biscuits that Xiang Chen gave out to others, but also shortbread, the famous glutinous rice noodles, and several other snacks.Some he went to the provincial capital and sea city to buy a lot a few years ago, and some were collected secretly over the years. Anyway, his space and time are static, so he is not afraid of letting it go bad.
,
Seeing so many dim sums that they had never heard of before, not only Chen Mutou and his son, but even Aunt Yu and Boss Chen stared straight at it.Boss Chen felt a little regretful in his heart, and wanted to exchange for a pack of dim sum, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that he would make others angry if he didn't know what to do.
His appearance really attracted the attention of many people on the road, and several villagers who came together greeted him, and their eyes all slipped on his hands.
After all, Chen Youshan had gone through a lot of things, so he didn't change his face. When he was far away, the villagers dared to get together and whisper a few words.
"What do you think the second brother is doing, why are you holding two flashlights in broad daylight?"
"That's right, didn't Chen Jianshe break the flashlight in his house? I also heard that Uncle Shan went around looking for someone to fix it."
"Whose is the other flashlight? Isn't his family the only one in our village who has this rare thing?"
"Who knows."
"Why don't we go and have a look!"
"Look, let's go, let's go together..."
It was still early, and the villagers became curious, and followed Chen Youshan and his party from a distance. Fortunately, Chen Youshan didn't turn elsewhere, and went directly to the field.The villagers were also going to gather here, and after receiving the tasks for the day, they went to the fields separately.

So Chen Youshan asked Xu Hengzhou to repair the threshing machine. It was a dead horse as a living horse doctor. It would be the best if it could be repaired. The whole village thanked him.
Hearing what Chen Youshan said, Xu Hengzhou said reservedly: "That's fine, I'll try."
Therefore, he didn't need to do the farm work, and he was directly taken to repair the machine. Of course, with the consent of the villagers, he could be credited with full work points.
Xu Hengzhou also knew in his heart that if he didn't get results for a long time, this kind of good thing would definitely be gone.
"Chenchen, take the flashlight home, and brother will go with them to have a look." Xu Hengzhou told Xiang Chen, and then followed Chen Youshan.
When he arrived at the place where the threshing machine was placed, Chen Youshan lifted the straw covering it, revealing the threshing machine underneath.Fortunately, his collection is quite meticulous. If it is full of dust, it will take a lot of effort to clean it up.
Xu Hengzhou knelt down to examine carefully for a long while, while Chen Youshan didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing his train of thought. It wasn't until Xu Hengzhou stood up that he asked cautiously, "How is it? Can it be repaired?"
Xu Hengzhou nodded, and gave him good news: "I think it can be repaired. I have seen this before, and I have seen others have repaired it, but I have to give me some time."
Chen Youshan was overjoyed, and quickly said: "As long as you can repair it, as long as you can repair it."
He originally just wanted to try his luck, but he didn't expect to be lucky. If the threshing machine can be repaired, it will save them a lot of trouble!And with Xu Hengzhou here, he was not afraid that the machine would break down again. Chen Youshan felt that it was a wise decision for him to agree to accept Xu Hengzhou to bring a child to the village!
"You can rest assured to repair here, the work points will be recorded for you, and you will definitely not suffer any disadvantages." Chen Youshan promised firmly.
Xu Hengzhou smiled, accepted his kindness, and said two kind words to calm him down: "Uncle, don't worry, I will try my best to fix it as soon as possible."
"That's good, that's good." Chen Youshan felt more at ease. He looked at the young man who had checked the machine carefully, and he didn't dare to disturb him, and quietly exited the barn where the threshing machine was placed.
Standing at the door of the barn, Chen Youshan thought for a moment. He still remembered what Xu Hengzhou had mentioned to him about building a firewood house. Originally, he planned to wait until the fields were cleaned up in two days before looking for someone. Time is less, people are idle, and it is convenient.
But now it seems that this matter cannot be delayed, what if Xu Hengzhou has been distracted by thinking about this matter?If he was distracted and forgot how to repair the machine, he would be wronged!
At this time, as the village head, I should solve the worries for the little comrades, Chen Youshan said to himself in his heart.
He turned his head and glanced at the barn again. Xu Hengzhou had already started dismantling the machine, and it seemed to be doing well. Chen Youshan couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and his thoughts became more determined.
So, at noon that day, when Xu Hengzhou went home for dinner, he met two groups of people.
Xu Hengzhou told him yesterday that someone was coming to the family today, so when Xiang Chen was cooking at noon, he cooked corn mush. On the surface, there was only one earthen pot that could be used in their house, and they didn't have the conditions to make other food.
Fortunately, his cornmeal is very fine, and the paste it cooks is still sweet and sweet. Xu Hengzhou drank two big bowls of it in one go with the addition of some plums to make small pickles.
The first wave of people came when he was eating the second bowl.I don't blame him, he came back late at noon today, so he ate late too. According to his normal routine, he should be taking a nap at this time.
It was none other than Aunt Yu and a few villagers she had found. Xu Hengzhou hurriedly invited them to eat together.
Those people really refused, and Aunt Yu urged him to eat the meal first and leave them alone.Xu Hengzhou held half a bowl of porridge by himself, and he didn't want to put it or not. Fortunately, Xiang Chen was smart and quickly poured water to entertain the guests. Xu Hengzhou went to the kitchen by packing up the bowls and chopsticks, and hurriedly put away the porridge.
After he tidied up and walked out, Aunt Yu introduced several other people to him: "This is Boss Chen, you know his younger brother, the third brother Chen who repaired your house a few days ago is his brother. He Something that was burned at home, but this."
Aunt Yu gave a thumbs up and continued: "Keep it safe for you to use. There are two more, they are the most famous craftsmen in our ten miles and eight villages. They are very good at carpentry. You can ask them to make furniture." , that's right!"
Aunt Yu praised her sincerity, and all of them had bright faces, apparently confident in their skills.Confidence is good, Xu Hengzhou doesn't care about that little reward, he is afraid of messing things up for him, and he will have to take trouble to clean them up later.And if Aunt Yu was able to find them, she probably wouldn't cheat him casually.
Xu Hengzhou has always been a man, first he expressed his admiration for them, which quickly made them smile, and then politely asked them to help and make some things, and they agreed smoothly.
Then those few people asked Xu Hengzhou about his requirements, what he wanted, and what kind of shape he wanted to make. Boss Chen was okay, he just asked about these and just burned it. The carpenter Chen Mutou also asked about the size and materials.
So Xu Hengzhou first told Boss Chen that he had planned it a long time ago. He needed one rice tank and two water tanks. They both like to be clean and use a lot of water.
In addition, burn a few earthen pots for backup and stew for a long time. If you don’t pay attention, it will easily burn the earthen pot when it is cold and hot. They don’t lack this money. It is very convenient to cook soup and porridge in a crock pot.
Reminded by Aunt Yu, I ordered a few more jars of pickled vegetables, and I will have my own vegetable garden in the future. The extra vegetables can be pickled, and it is very good to eat with porridge.
In addition to these, Xu Hengzhou also bought a few jars of different sizes for backup. Although he didn't think about what to do, he was prepared.
Boss Chen wrote down Xu Hengzhou's requests one by one, and then agreed on the reward in front of Aunt Yu.Xu Hengzhou likes this kind of thing very much, so let's make it clear first so as not to quarrel later.
"Your things, I can't burn them all at once, and I will definitely use the best mud for you, this is..."
"It's okay, you can just say that you can't afford to save money when buying a house, I know it." Xu Hengzhou looked calm, he was really not afraid of this person asking for a price.
Boss Chen hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly, "I, I heard that you have white sugar, can I have two catties of sugar?"
Xu Hengzhou was startled, the price... is really low.
The things he wants, let’s talk about those big tanks, the bigger the more trouble, it’s really not easy to burn, from dredging to shaping and then to firing, if there is a slight mistake, it’s over, you have to start all over again, and burn it. Things are really useless firewood, and I don’t know how much firewood is used.
When Boss Chen saw that he didn't speak, he felt anxious. Like his younger brother, he was an honest person, and he didn't know what to say, but he really wanted to do a good job.He has thought about it, he will burn it a few more times this time, pick the best ones and send them to others, and keep them for easy use.
He also felt that it was a little unkind for him to ask for white sugar. Usually when he cooks something for the villagers, he usually gives a bowl of cornmeal and two sweet potatoes. Jin, so he felt that he was a little guilty of doing so.
Boss Chen shook his lips, becoming more anxious and speechless, when Aunt Yu saw it, he immediately smoothed things over and said, "Hey, you can use food without sugar, which one still has so much white sugar for you, and I will send you two later." catty of grain."
The difference between two catties of grain and two catties of sugar is enormous, but Boss Chen muttered a bit, and finally bowed his head and acquiesced without saying anything.
She was also a little angry, this Boss Chen, how could he be like this, she came to see him because he was good at workmanship and honest, how could he be so indiscriminate in asking prices.This made her ashamed, and Xu Zhiqing might still feel that she was ganging up with someone to deceive him.
"No." Xu Hengzhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly explained: "I still have some white sugar in stock, and I was wondering if the price is too low."
Aunt Yu was surprised at first, and then said before Boss Chen could speak, "It's not low, it's not low."
Anyway, it was from a village, and Aunt Yu kept a few points, but she didn't say that Boss Chen's price was too high.
Boss Chen also nodded sharply, looking at Xu Hengzhou with some anticipation in his eyes.
Xu Hengzhou smiled, got up and entered the room, and came out with a paper bag in his hand: "This is two catties of white sugar. I don't have a scale at home. Did you find a steelyard to weigh it?"
"I'll do it." Aunt Yu volunteered, she took the paper bag, weighed it, and said affirmatively, "It's two catties, I'm afraid there are more."
The women in the village used to weigh their meals, and the women in the city also had to weigh their cribs. Everyone had steelyards in their hands, and even if it was bad, it was not bad.
Of course, it was impossible for Boss Chen to go to the scale again, not to mention that he believed in Aunt Yu in the first place, even if the difference was a few taels, he felt that it was not a loss.
Boss Chen opened the paper bag and took a look at the white candy inside. Although he didn't eat it, his heart was already sweet.
"Then I will leave my family affairs to Uncle Chen." Xu Hengzhou said politely after paying the reward.
Mr. Chen nodded repeatedly, full of energy in his heart, and made up his mind to have a good time with others, and must give them the best.
After making an agreement with Boss Chen, it will be the turn of Chen Mutou and his son. The two of them just saw Boss Chen opening the paper bag, and the white sugar inside almost stuck their eyes.
Therefore, after agreeing on the items needed, Chen Mutou's son Chen Shu couldn't wait to say: "We also want white sugar."
Their work is much heavier than Boss Chen's, because the family really lacks everything, and Xu Hengzhou ordered a lot of things.
Wardrobe, cabinets, desks, chests of drawers, dining tables, chairs, etc., even buckets and old wood can be made, so I just need a few. In addition, there are washbasins, foot basins, bathtubs, laundry tubs, and some odds and ends such as sticks, rolling pins and noodles. For chopsticks and other small items, Xu Hengzhou didn't bother the two masters, and wanted them all.
Originally, Xu Hengzhou wanted to make another bed, but after thinking about it, it would be really time-consuming, and he planned to warm up next year, and the soil would not be so hard, so if he tried to build a kang, it would not be necessary to make another bed. It is necessary, because just these are enough for Chen Mutou and the others to make for a long time. If the bed is put in the back, it may not be ready yet, and his kang is ready.
In this way, because there are many things, and they are all large, the reward is indispensable.This order is the biggest one that Chen Mutou has accepted in recent years. He has dealt with all these things, but no one asks for so much at one time.When people in the countryside marry their daughters, even if they love their children, it would be nice to have a cabinet as a dowry, and most of them usually take on such jobs.
Chen Shu opened his mouth to ask for sugar, and Chen Mutou gave him a bitter look. Of course, he also wanted it, but it was a bit aggressive and outrageous to speak out like this.
Xu Hengzhou didn't mind this. In his space, he only dug out about one-third of the sugar grid in the supermarket, and there was still a whole batch of stock in the warehouse, enough for the villagers to eat.
But no matter how much he has, he can't take it out so recklessly, just like Aunt Yu said, who would store so much sugar.Even if there are sugar tickets in the city, they are limited. Well, each person only has a little, how much can he save?
So Xu Hengzhou showed a somewhat embarrassed expression: "There is only a little hospitality left at home, and the payment must not be enough. Do you think you want something else?"
Both Chen Mutou and his son showed disappointed expressions on their faces, and Chen Shu even drooped his head, showing a bit of sadness.Just now he thought about it, if he could get white sugar in exchange for himself, he would ask his father for some and give it to Chun Nier next door to his house, Chun Nier would be so happy to eat such sweet candy!
"Then use food. Food is the best. It can fill your stomach. Who doesn't care?!" Aunt Yu continued to smooth things over, and Chen Mutou also came back to his senses, nodding his head to express his approval. After all, Xu Hengzhou is a big customer. Willing to pay, can not offend.
"If you don't want food, there are others."
Chen Shu immediately raised his head and looked straight at Xu Hengzhou, Chen Mutou also showed expectation, Xu Hengzhou said slowly: "I brought some snacks from the city, this one is also sweet, and it's made of grain, I don't know you Do you want it?"
"Yes, of course!" Chen Shu nodded hastily, his eyes almost glowing, dim sum, how rare are those in the city!
But it was Chen Mutou who made the decision, and he didn't ask to see what the dim sum looked like, so he agreed.
He has a carpentry skill. Compared with other villagers, he has an additional source of income. The family conditions are considered good in the village. Of course, he is more willing to ask for some rare things than food.These are hard currencies, and even if the family is short of food, they can exchange them with others at any time.But if you want to exchange food for these, except for this opportunity, it will be difficult.
Moreover, Chen Mutou saw that Xu Hengzhou paid Boss Chen generously, and many villagers who had dealt with him had a good impression of the Xu Hengzhou brothers, so Chen Mutou was not worried that Xu Hengzhou would cheat him, so he agreed directly.
Sure enough, Xu Hengzhou went into the room and took out a few packs of snacks. After showing them to Chen Mutou and his son, they were very satisfied.
There are not only the square biscuits that Xiang Chen gave out to others, but also shortbread, the famous glutinous rice noodles, and several other snacks.Some he went to the provincial capital and sea city to buy a lot a few years ago, and some were collected secretly over the years. Anyway, his space and time are static, so he is not afraid of letting it go bad.
,
Seeing so many dim sums that they had never heard of before, not only Chen Mutou and his son, but even Aunt Yu and Boss Chen stared straight at it.Boss Chen felt a little regretful in his heart, and wanted to exchange for a pack of dim sum, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that he would make others angry if he didn't know what to do.
