Reborn Craftsman

Chapter 392 Pet Little Bajie

Ah Hu, who was silent at the side, said: "What else can he do, seeing that raising pigs has been very profitable in the past two years, so he made a total of all the villagers in Dongyu Village and bought thousands of piglets at once. Yang, I thought that I would make a lot of money when I was about to be slaughtered, but who knew that all of them were infected with No. [-] disease, and they were all gone at once!"

"The dozen or so pigs raised by my little fox are all dead!" Ah Hu's eyes turned red when he said this.

"Oh...it's all my fault!" Village Chief Wang sighed with self-reproach.

After Liu Xing knew the inside story, he covered his head and didn't know what to say for a while.

If Village Chief Wang had told him about raising pigs in advance, he probably wouldn't have lost so much money at all, because he already knew the inside story of No. [-] disease, but now...he really doesn't know what to say.

After all, Village Chief Wang's original intention was good.

Unfortunately, I don't have the luck to make money!

"Liu Xing, although I am old, I think I can use some aspects of building a bamboo bridge, right?" Village Chief Wang said softly, putting aside the dull topic.

"Don't say that, Grandpa!" Liu Xing looked at the time on the phone: "How about it! If you want, you can visit the main structure of the bamboo bridge now, and then start tomorrow to help supervise and direct the construction The main structure of the one-way street on the other side."

"As for the wages, it's 100 yuan a day for now!" Liu Xing added after thinking about it.

After all, Village Chief Wang came here to make money. If he didn't explain the wages clearly, Village Chief Wang might panic.

"100 yuan a day? This... is this too much?" Village Chief Wang yelled out when he heard the number.

In his mind, if he can have more than ten or twenty yuan a day, he is already content. After all, at his age, if he didn't come to Liu Xing with his old face, other people would dare to take him.

"Grandpa, the village chief, don't make a fuss. The average salary of the craftsmen who build the bamboo bridge here is not more than one hundred yuan a day. If you earn less, you are looking down on Liu Xing, you know?" Ahu endured I couldn't help making complaints.

"Really?" Village Chief Wang looked at Liu Xing in surprise, seeing Liu Xing nodding with a faint smile, he immediately smiled embarrassingly.

It seems that following Ahu to find Liu Xing was right this time. As long as the villagers of Dongyu Village who came with them work hard, they will probably make back the money they lost in raising pigs in a few months.

Thinking of this, Village Chief Wang's mood improved. He picked up the dry tobacco and smoked it happily. Before Liu Xing could explain, he walked towards the main structure of the bamboo bridge with his hands behind his back.

When I saw that the handmade quality of the bamboo bridge was very good, I couldn't help but smile with relief.

But soon there was a look of horror on his face. It turned out that he discovered that the main structure of the entire bamboo bridge is the arched pipa tenon. It was only because Liu Xing improved a lot during the production that he didn't pay attention to it for a while. Just not coming out.

"This kid, I really can't see it!" After sighing, Village Chief Wang quickly climbed onto the side frame and studied it carefully.

Who knew that before the research was done, he was pulled down by a thick-backed, round-faced craftsman: "You old man, don't be a good person and stay in a safe place. Why are you climbing on this scaffolding?"

"Can you control it?" Village Chief Wang lost his temper after being stunned.

After all, Liu Xing didn't talk to him like this when building a bamboo bridge. It's really unreasonable for someone he doesn't know to dare to attack him.

"Of course I'm in charge. I'm the team leader here, and I'm responsible for everyone's safety!" said the round-faced craftsman.

"Then do you know who I am?" Village Chief Wang couldn't help laughing when he heard the word team leader.

"Who are you?" The round-faced craftsman asked suspiciously when he saw several villagers from Dongyu Village approaching.

"I'm Liu Xing's grandfather!" Village Chief Wang said with a sneer.

Seeing that the round-faced craftsman didn't believe it, he added another sentence: "I'm not afraid to tell you that Liu Xing's crafts are all taught by me. If you point and point me here, it's not enough!"

"Huh? Is it real?" The round-faced craftsman was a little scared.

"Of course it's true, otherwise you think anyone can come to the main structure of the bamboo bridge to check the situation!" said a burly Dongyu villager.

"You! From now on, you will have to follow the instructions of Village Chief Wang. If you don't believe me, just ask Liu Xing!" Wang Jiabao also ran over at this time, and after asking about the situation, he said teasingly to the round-faced craftsman .

The group leader is a bit remarkable among hundreds of craftsmen, but in front of Village Chief Wang, he is absolutely speechless.

Only then did the round-faced craftsman realize that he had caused a catastrophe, and he scratched his head anxiously, not knowing what to say.

But Village Chief Wang smiled: "Go do your business! I'm not a fussy person, so don't talk to me like this next time."

"Mmm! Mmm!" The round-faced craftsman couldn't wish for more when he heard this, so he turned around and ran away.

Village Chief Wang looked at and shook his head.

The reason why I don't care about this round-faced craftsman is because there are a lot of people who built the bamboo bridge, and the safety issue must be done properly. Although the round-faced craftsman's speech is ugly, it is for the sake of his safety.

Of course, the most important point is that this round-faced craftsman doesn't know him because it's the first time he's here because there are so many people here, so it's understandable that he caused such a misunderstanding.

Seeing that a villager from Dongyu Village next to him had chiseled the mortise on the load-bearing beam, he couldn't help but kicked it up: "Big cat, did you miss your wife again last night, you don't have the energy to do anything?" No? Let me tell you! I will be the supervisor of the construction of the bamboo bridge from now on, if something goes wrong, I will prevent you from seeing your wife in the future."

"Village chief...I...don't I want to make more money? So the speed is a little faster!" Although the villager of Dongyu Village named Big Mao was kicked, he didn't dare to say anything. Temper, but even explained with a smiling face.

"If you want more money, don't pay attention to quality! Let me tell you this is the only time! Next time I will just tell you to get out!" Village Chief Wang scolded softly.

"Hey! Hey!" The big cat nodded in a cold sweat.

"Let me tell you, there is a skill in making tenons, come... let me teach you!" Village Chief Wang rolled up his sleeves and immediately demonstrated.

But he didn't dare to do it for too long, because his Tetenna was injured by the agency when he rescued Ah Hu's parents in the Dongyu Tomb of the God of War, and now it hurts badly whenever it encounters cold weather.

This craftsmanship will also be very painful, so he said in front of Liu Xing that he can't make organs now, of course, this is also true.

A fact that even Dr. Zhao couldn't cure.

On Liu Xing's side, seeing that Village Chief Wang quickly got along with hundreds of craftsmen, he smiled with relief. To be honest, his team of building bamboo bridges needs Village Chief Wang to be as cohesive and capable. Those who know the craft come to town.

I didn't think of this before, but now it seems that the old saying is true, a family with an old man is like a treasure.

The team of craftsmen who built the bamboo bridge, with Village Chief Wang here, I am afraid that the progress of the construction will speed up again.

Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, he immediately walked towards Lao Li's open-air kitchen with Ah Hu beside him.

Now that there are nearly twenty more people, it is natural to ask Lao Li to cook meals for a few more people.

What surprised him was that as soon as he had finished talking to Lao Li about cooking more meals, village head Tang and patriarch Zhuang appeared in front of him in a hurry with a dozen local villagers in western Hunan.

They thought they were also here to ask him to help build the bamboo bridge to support their family, but after asking, they realized that they were wrong. They wanted to ask Dr. Zhao to help treat the sick pigs at home.

Most of these live pigs were blistered and swollen at the trotters and the pig's mouth, and they had a high fever and did not eat.

As soon as Liu Xing heard this symptom, he knew it was No. [-] disease.

At present, I am afraid that there is no medicine to treat it.

But he didn't want to tell these Xiangxi villagers directly, but after talking to Ah Hu, he led them to the tent where Miracle Doctor Zhao was.

Dr. Zhao was sitting at the door of the tent chatting with Qinglian at this moment. Seeing Liu Xing bringing so many Xiangxi villagers over, he was taken aback and quickly got up to greet him.

"Master Zhao, you have to save dozens of pigs in our crucian carp village!" Village Chief Tang said with a mournful face as soon as they met.

There is no way. It is not easy to raise a pig in the countryside. Many of them rely on the pig to grow up and sell it for money to maintain their expenses for a year.

If the half-grown pigs died of illness, it would be tantamount to killing many villagers in western Hunan.

"Don't worry, let's talk about the symptoms first!" Doctor Zhao couldn't help asking, although he guessed that No. [-] disease had spread to Xiangxi.

"It's just that the hoofs of the pigs are all rotten, and the legs of many pigs can't walk. There are many blisters around the pig's mouth, and it's very red and swollen!" Patriarch Zhuang replied first.

"It's Disease No. [-]!" Qinglian said immediately after hearing what Patriarch Zhuang said.

All the pigs he met in the pigsty of the villagers' homes in Dongyu Village had symptoms like this, but they were usually incurable, because the No. [-] disease... had no cure.

Doctor Zhao's face was also a little ugly, but he didn't bluntly reject the request of these Xiangxi villagers. After telling Qinglian to watch the house, he walked into the tent and came out with a medicine box on his back: "You guys lead the way~!"

"Go this way!" Seeing that Miracle Doctor Zhao has no airs at all, Village Chief Tang hurriedly walked ahead to lead the way.

Several other villagers followed behind gratefully.

Liu Xing originally wanted to go and have a look together, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

After all, he doesn't know medical skills, so it's useless to go there, and maybe he will cause trouble for Dr. Zhao.

Thinking of this, after talking to Qinglian, he went to rest in the tent where he was.

Who knew that before she got there, she saw Tang Qianqian, who had put on new clothes, hugging a lame little suckling pig, whispering to Tang Tang, who was making herbal tea. crescent moon.

"Qianqian, how did you come here?" Liu Xinglian asked, who was approaching.

It's going to be dark soon, and to be honest, he doesn't worry about Tang Qianqian going home alone at night, and Tang Guoqing and Tang Tang have lived in tents these days because they have a long way to go home.

"Of course I, Ma Ma, brought it here by bicycle!" Tang Qianqian looked back at Liu Xing with a deep smile on her face. Seeing Liu Xing staring at the little suckling pig in his hand, Tang Qianqian immediately said: "This is the pet my Mama gave me. It's called Little Bajie. Sounds good!"

Now that her family has made money from picking tea ears, it is natural to buy transportation like bicycles and some new daily necessities.

As for the suckling pig, it was purely for fun.

"Well, the name sounds nice!" Liu Xing couldn't help laughing.

"Brother Liu Xing, don't listen to Qianqian's nonsense. This little suckling pig was sick and was about to die. My mother saw that it was a waste to throw it away, so she gave it to Qianqian to play for a few days. Who knew that after being played by Qianqian, she became sick. Alright!" Tang Tang shrugged and told the truth.

"Even so, it's the pet that Ma Ma gave me, okay?" Tang Qianqian made a face at Tang Tang: "And you know? This Little Bajie was not played by me, but ate our village pet. Only a kind of grass can get better, why don't you and your mother believe what I say?"

"Of course I don't believe it!" Tang Tang gave Qianqian a white look.

If pigs can be cured by eating any kind of grass when they are sick, then pork should be very cheap in the world.

Liu Xing didn't think so, he looked at Tang Qianqian: "You little Bajie looked sick before, did the pig's trotters rot, and there were many blisters around the mouth?"

"Well, um! I Ma Ma said it was the No. [-] disease, and it couldn't be cured, but after I fed Xiao Bajie a few mouthfuls of grass, it was fine. If you don't believe me, look at my little Bajie. , alright!" Tang Qianqian handed the little suckling pig in front of Liu Xing, her words were serious: "It's a pity that his hind legs will be lame forever, it would be great if he was healthy."

As soon as Liu Xing heard this, he couldn't help asking: "Qianqian, tell brother, do you still know the kind of grass that Xiao Bajie eats?"
