In fact, Jiang Nuanzhi specially brought the waiter out today because he usually neglected him.
Ping'er is the eldest in the family, and academic matters have always been the most important thing in the family. Baozhu is the youngest sister and needs more care. Because Xiaoer is the most sensible and the most worry-free, nothing will fall on him. There will be less sight. Jiang Nuanzhi had actually long thought of spending time with him alone and taking him out to play.
Regarding the issue of buying someone at home, Jiang Nuanzhi originally thought that the waiter needed some guidance.
Ping'er and Xuanting were surrounded by slaves when they were young, so naturally there was nothing they needed to talk to. They also adapt.
Like Little Baozhu, she is still young, so she will learn whatever the adults do.
Xiao Er, he can't remember what happened when he was a child. When he remembers it again, his family has been defeated. And with the influence of Xiaohu's family, it is inevitable that he will be affected. However, at present, Jiang Nuanzhi is overthinking it. Obviously, the waiter is kind-hearted and straightforward. It seems that even if Jiang Nuanzhi doesn't say anything, he will know what to do.
"A Nuan, shall we go to Brother Lu's house now?"
The waiter asked after getting on the donkey cart.
"Let's go shopping first. Here, I'll give you these five hundred coins. You decide to buy some gifts for your family. Then we'll go to your brother Lu's house." Jiang Nuanzhi said, smiling and stuffing him with five hundred coins.
"Ah! So much? Ah Nuan, I have never spent so much money!" The waiter was right.
Jiang Nuanzhi looked at him with a smile: "Then let's try it today."
The waiter’s eyes were bright: “Is it really okay?”
"Of course!"
The two of them talked and went to the market in the south of the city.
In the summer market, the number of stalls has more than doubled, and the products are even more dazzling. There are not only various fruits and desserts, but also some harvests, some chickens, ducks, geese, cats and dogs, and even cattle and sheep for sale. of.
The waiter looked at it with all his eyes. From time to time, he would stop at the stall and pull Jiang Nuanzhi to ask questions. Jiang Nuanzhi was not in a hurry, just took the practical class with his child and walked with him slowly bit by bit.
"Anuan, can we buy it?"
Along the way, the waiter bought a lot of snacks, and also chose shoes for everyone in the family. In the end, he was squatting on a stall selling chickens and ducks and couldn't move his eyes away.
"Buy two more ducklings and two goslings. When they grow up, they will be able to lay eggs, and we will have endless eggs!"
Jiang Nuanzhi laughed when he saw his excited look: "Okay, you pick."
The two of them caught two ducks and two goslings and loaded them up. The waiter had spent almost all his money. He hugged the basket and ran to the car excitedly: "Nuan, let's go home. I can't wait." Let everyone see the gift I bought.”
Jiang Nuanzhi took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Silly boy, are you not going to your brother Lu's house?"
The waiter scratched his head in embarrassment: "Ah, I almost forgot."
Jiang Nuanzhi: "I brought 200 bottles of medicine today to give to you, Brother Lu and the others. Once they are all delivered, if you are in a hurry, we will go back early."
"Well, okay, there's no rush."
Before Jiang Nuanzhi went to Lu Shizhu, he also went to the blacksmith shop.
The best blacksmith shop in Liujiang County is this one in the south of the city.
The tinkling sound of the blacksmith hammering the iron could be heard far outside the iron shop, and the iron bell hanging at the door also tinkled. Before he got closer, a wave of heat rushed out.
Jiang Nuanzhi asked the waiter to stay on the donkey cart to take care of the little duck he just bought, and then walked in.
There were few people around the blacksmith shop, but it was a bit noisy after all. Just as he walked in, a busy young blacksmith wiped the sweat from his forehead and came out with a smile: "Ms. Jiang is here? This time? What do you want to buy? ”
Jiang Nuanzhi bought several pots and pans from here. When he was making an oven at home, he even ordered a special iron plate and wire mesh to be bought from him. It was considered a mixed bag. A familiar face. "Brother Shi, I have something I want to hit. It's a bit complicated. I wonder if Uncle Shi will be here today?"
The young man was startled, then smiled and said: "Here you are, here you are."
After saying that, he turned around and shouted: "Dad, please come out. There are guests looking for you."
"Hey, here we come."
I heard a loud shouting voice coming from inside, and then I saw a middle-aged man walking out the door with a bare arms and a hammer.
"What is Mrs. Jiang going to do?"
Generally speaking, there is a high probability that you will be looking for a stone master to make specific items, and everyone knows this by heart. This blacksmith shop has been open for many years, and Master Shi is well-known throughout Liujiang County.
Jiang Nuanzhi smiled and took out two pieces of paper from his arms: "Master Shi, look, can you type this thing out?"
Master Shi was stunned for a moment when he saw Jiang Nuanzhi bringing the blueprint. Then he immediately put down the hammer in his hand and walked forward to take it carefully. After reading it, she frowned tightly: "Mrs. Jiang, what is this? I have never seen it before."
"This is a pressurized water well. It is placed at the mouth of the well to lift water upwards. Once this thing is made, the water can be drawn directly from the ground without the need for manpower to lift the water.
However, this pipe needs to be very long, and there are many details, so I drew them all with drawings. You see, can it be typed? ”
"It can be punched out, but it's just an iron pipe. It's not difficult to add some small items. But, Mrs. Jiang, are you sure this thing is really useful? Such a long pipe is not cheap."
After thinking about it, I still advised: "Madam, please don't spend your money in vain."
Jiang Nuanzhi smiled and said: "Master Shi, don't worry, as long as you make these objects, they won't be difficult to use. Just do it."
Master Shi still frowned: "I saw the ruler you marked. I'm afraid I'll need some silver to make this. Lady Jiang, are you sure you want this?"
Jiang Nuanzhi nodded: "Just give me the quote."
Master Shi took the drawing and looked at it again and again, and repeatedly determined the dimensions with Jiang Nuanzhi. He just frowned and hesitated: "These two will cost at least eight taels of silver."
Jiang Nuanzhi naturally knew that iron at this time was not cheap, and some ironware was even more expensive than copper.
Especially in the wilderness, where the temperature is low, blacksmithing is more difficult. After winter, the blacksmithing business will almost be put on hold.
Her pipe is much longer, uses a lot of materials, and contains many fine small objects. Naturally, it is not expensive. Jiang Nuanzhi nodded immediately: "Eight taels is eight taels. It's just Master Shi. This If there is any need to adjust it later, please help me adjust it again.”
Master Shi also didn't expect that this business could be done for eight taels of silver. The family can barely afford eight taels of food for a year. He really didn't expect that this lady would use eight taels of silver to beat these things.
He was stunned for a moment, and after regaining consciousness, he laughed and patted his chest: "Of course it's no problem."
Without saying anything, Jiang Nuanzhi directly gave two taels of silver as a deposit, asking them to do it as soon as possible.
Jiang Nuanzhi is actually not worried about not being able to do it well. After all, this water pressure well is easy to say, and the iron parts are fine. What is difficult to solve is the plastic gasket in the middle.
She thought that it would be impossible to use some cowhide and sew it thicker. If that still didn't work, she would have no choice but to condense the fish bladder rubber by herself. In fact, there are not many rubber trees in this vast wasteland.
Fortunately, there are only two wells and relatively few places to use them. If you only practice two pieces of fish bladder rubber, it won't be a big problem. If that doesn’t work, you should be able to use mille-feuille.
But no matter what, using water this way is definitely much more convenient than fetching water before.
I also dealt with some details with Master Shi and told him which component each component is connected to. Get him some paper and label it more clearly. Jiang Nuanzhi didn't leave until Master Shi completely understood.
"Dad, if we really want to fight, will this thing work? Aren't you trying to defraud people of their money?" (End of Chapter)
