After dressing up as a stepmother, I transformed the whole family into working in the fields

Qin Yao first sent the four brothers and sisters to the village well, which was very lively.

In the middle of the afternoon, the county government official came by and, as she said yesterday, he reported the good news that all the horse bandits had been wiped out.

Officials came and went in a hurry, but the villagers discussed this matter for a long time.

At this time, every family had finished their dinner and were gathering together to talk.

Because when the official came, he made a special trip to Qin Yao's house to say hello to her. Now the people in the village feel that she is respectable.

There was a great bandit-suppressing hero in their village, and the government officials had to go out of their way to say hello to her.

I don’t know who started it, but people in the village are discussing whether to give Qin Yao a plaque or something.

Fortunately, Qin Yao sent her children to Cunjing and heard about it in advance and stopped her in time, otherwise she would have died of embarrassment.

You have to have a certain temper when you are in the limelight. Just give a compliment and nod politely when you meet someone.

Send a plaque?

The village patriarch and village head have not received plaques yet.

It's just right now, and everyone praises her for being humble and not coveting fame and wealth.

Qin Yao doesn't like to stand behind and be a hidden boss. No one can take away the fame and fortune she deserves.

He will not put others on his laurels and be complacent just because he does not have to be exposed in front of the public and suffer criticism.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. She has a good cervical spine and can bear it!

Old man Liu now felt that Qin Yao was doing favors to his father Liu, and he even lamented to Mrs. Zhang during dinner:

"The third child really made a fortune in his last life, and got such a treasure of the family!"

Zhang Shi repeatedly said yes, but her heart was different from what Old Man Liu thought.

She felt that Qin Yao was especially proud of their women!

Look at the two daughters-in-law of the eldest and second family, their backs are much straighter when they walk.

On Qin Yao's side, when she arrived at Carpenter Liu's house, her family was having dinner, and the family warmly invited her to the table.

Qin Yao waved her hand and said that she had eaten and told them to leave her alone. Carpenter Liu picked up the rice bowl and came over. While eating, he took her to see the water tanker that would be delivered tomorrow.

It was a little smaller than a small water wheel. The family was not close to the river, but there was a mountain spring behind the house, which fell from the mountain and flowed all year round. They took the bamboo tube and led it directly to their home.

Originally, she had given up hope of loading a water tanker, but Qin Yao went over to take a look in person and found that it could be installed.

Install an ultra-small model, which is not as powerful as a normal water mill and can not grind much grain, but it is enough for home use.

Because this was the first ultra-small order, both Qin Yao and Liu Carpenter were particularly concerned about it.

If this is successful, it will open up more markets and allow water mills to enter thousands of households.

For example, those villages with natural waterfalls or natural mountain springs can install water mills without a large river.

The emergence of ultra-small models may solve some terrain and hydrological restrictions.

"Are you going to this house tomorrow?" Qin Yao asked.

She's not here these days and doesn't know much about the order arrangement.

Carpenter Liu nodded, "The ultra-small family is quite far away. I can only go to this one tomorrow. The remaining two can go together the day after tomorrow. They are all in the same village. It just so happens that one family will be in the morning and the other will be in the afternoon."

Qin Yao said: "Then let's go riding tomorrow. I'll borrow a frame from the village chief's house. It will be much more convenient."

Carpenter Liu nodded, and the two reached an agreement. Qin Yao took the account book home and checked the accounts before going to bed early.

Because the journey was long, the two of them set off at the fourth watch.

When Qin Yao left, the four children at home were still sleeping. She left a note on the dining table in the hall, telling them that she would not be back until night.

The frame of the ox cart is used on the horse, which is a bit inappropriate and much shorter, but the speed of the horse is twice as fast as that of the ox cart.

Pulling two people and the heavy waterwheel and stone mill, he still ran very fast.

Qin Yao's heart tightened as she listened to the sound of the wheels turning crazily beneath her, fearing that the frame of the village chief's car would fall apart.

So when we got to a small road that was not easy to walk on, we slowed down the carriage.

In this way, it was around ten o'clock in the morning when we arrived at the client's home.

If we walk by foot, we may not be able to arrive at noon.

Qin Yao was surprised that the water mill of Liujia Village could be known from such a far away place. Later I found out that it was a woman from Liujia Village who married here and brought the news about the water mill when she returned to her parents' home.

The families who are willing to spend money to install water mills are all relatively wealthy in the village. Today's family has a large courtyard and a wide door. The threshold can be removed so that a carriage can drive in directly.

The family diverted mountain spring water and dug a large pond in which lotus roots were planted. The lotus flowers had already bloomed, and only two or three late-blooming ones were left, standing among the lotus leaves.

When Qin Yao arrived for the first time, she was particularly envious of this family's large yard.

Unfortunately, the terrain of their home is only a small amount of flat land, and they cannot dig a pond, so they can only grow some vegetables.

The place where the water mill is placed has been cleared by the owner in advance. It is in the corner of the pond where the mountain spring water falls.

The amount of water in this mountain spring is quite large. Qin Yao has tested it and there is no problem in turning the water wheel.

She and Carpenter Liu were very familiar with the installation steps. They worked together and installed it in half an hour.

I asked the host for some millet for testing, and the effect was pretty good.

A normal water mill can grind one load of grain in one hour, and a super-small water mill can grind one load of grain in one and a half hours.

Carpenter Liu carefully measured the basket at his host's house, and it was about the same size as the baskets commonly used by villagers in Liujia Village, so Qin Yao concluded that this result was more reliable.

Qin Yao then guided the host to try it out on his own, and he was quite satisfied. The speed was faster than expected, and the most important thing was that it was not tiring.

The autumn harvest will be in a few days, just in time, and the satisfaction is reflected in the bright smile.

"If there's no problem, let's settle the remaining balance." Qin Yao asked with a smile.

The host smiled and went into the house to get the money.

The total price was three taels of silver, one-third of the deposit was paid in advance, leaving two taels of silver.

Carpenter Liu brought a small scale in advance and weighed it. Qin Yao gave the receipt to the other party, and the money and goods were paid.

When Qin Yao and Carpenter Liu left in their carriage, villagers in the village were heading to that house in groups, all curious to see the water mill.

The two people in the car looked at each other. As expected, there will be a new order soon.

Sure enough, just one day after Qin Yao and Carpenter Liu installed the last two sets of small water mills, a stranger appeared at the intersection of Liujiacun.

When the visitor looked up, he couldn't find where he was going, so he had to find a Liujia villager on the roadside and asked, "Where is the home of Mrs. Qin, who makes the water mill?"

Jinhua's pointed ears ran over to her before the villagers could answer, and said loudly:

"I know, I'll take you there!"

Unfortunately, the other party didn't believe her as a child, and waved her hand, "Little girl, go play, don't act nonsense."

Waiting for the villagers of Liujiacun to say.

As a result, someone pointed at the little girl in a funny way and said, "That's Mrs. Qin's niece. You can find out if you go with her. I have to go to the fields to see if the water has dried up. It will be harvested in two days."

The visitor suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Jinhua didn't mind and generously motioned for him to follow.

She was thinking expectantly, what kind of delicious food would the third aunt give her?
