The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 374 Wine Shop ([-])

When Lin Erfu and Peng Zhuangtou came over, Su Yunduo smiled a little embarrassedly: "I didn't think about the division of labor just now, so I have to rearrange it. Ping An, you take them and follow Uncle Lin to clean the wine jar. Uncle Peng takes Those who come to you, follow me into the mountains to cut bamboo."

Unexpectedly, after hearing Su Yunduo's words, Peng Zhuangtou heaved a long sigh of relief: "Then do as the girl said. I'm really worried that some of them beat the wine jar roughly! Cutting bamboo on the mountain They are the best at this kind of rough work."

"The bamboo we cut yesterday is enough, girl, look, there are still a lot of bamboos there." Zhang Pingan heard that Su Yunduo went to the mountain to chop bamboo, thinking that Su Yunduo didn't see the bamboo they brought back yesterday, pointing out that Bamboo and rattan piled up in a corner of the warehouse.

However, Su Yunduo shook his head: "The bamboo cut today is very useful. You and Uncle Lin will lead someone to clean the wine jar first, and then go to the mountains to help when you have time."

After hearing this, Zhang Pingan hurriedly took Lin Erfu and his men to clean the wine jars. If they were washed out earlier, they could go to the mountains to help earlier.

Peng Zhuangtou asked someone to find a machete, and took the dozen or so men to the mountains with Su Yunduo's master and servant.

Peng Zhuangtou and his men had stayed in this village for at least seven or eight years, so they knew exactly where the bamboo grove was, and within a quarter of an hour they arrived at the bamboo grove.

This is the first time for Su Yunduo's master and servant to come to this bamboo forest. I really didn't expect that there is such a large and dense bamboo forest here. Bamboos as thick as bowls are everywhere. Su Yunduo separately found dozens of bamboos of similar thickness for everyone to chop. .

The felled bamboos are stripped of their stems and the trunks are transported back to the valley.

To make a water pipe, it is natural to open up the bamboo joints. Su Yunduo naturally has ideas on how to open up the gap between the bamboo joints, but he just wonders whether he can find a suitable tool. Ning Zhongping needs to help solve this matter.

If it doesn't work, I have to find Lu Jinkang.

After all, Lu Jinkang is also the major shareholder of the winery!

When Peng Zhuangtou led people to cut down all the bamboo Su Yunduo needed and dragged them back to the valley, Ning Zhongping also came back from the city. He came to Zhuangzi with him and Lu Jinkang who had no idea that Su Yunduo had already missed him. There was also Jiu'er, who rarely left Lu Jinkang's side, and there were several guards who came with Lu Jinkang this time.

Knowing that Su Yunduo has been busy in the mountains all day, he only went down the mountain at noon for lunch and brought people into the mountain.

Lu Jinkang looked at Ning Zhongping in surprise, and Ning Zhongping was also extremely surprised. What is there in the mountain that makes Su Yunduo so busy?

After asking Zhang Ping'an, I found out that Su Yunduo was asking Peng Zhuangtou to lead someone to cut bamboo.

Su Yunduo suddenly decided to divert the water, and Ning Zhong naturally didn't know, so he couldn't give Lu Jinkang an answer, so he handed over the things he brought back from the city to Zhang Pingan, who had just brought someone to wash the wine jar, and the group went Go to the mountains to find answers.

As soon as I entered the valley, I saw that the spring was full of bamboos as thick as bowls, and I was quite surprised.

Su Yunduo was so busy that he was sweating. He was bending over to wash his face with the spring water. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he raised his head to look at Ning Zhongping through the pile of bamboos. Why don't you rest for a while?"

"I heard from Ping'an that you had people cut down a lot of bamboo, so let's come up and take a look. What are you going to use all these bamboos for? Are you planning to re-weave a bamboo fence to enclose the entire vineyard and valley here?" Ning Zhongping pointed out. Along the road of bamboo piled up into a hill.

Perhaps seeing that Ning Zhongping liked it in his heart, Su Yunduo didn't care about the word "we" in Ning Zhongping's words, and while taking out a handkerchief to wipe off the water drops on his face, he said happily: "Uncle, this suggestion is good. But what I want today is to use these bamboos to make aqueducts to lead the spring water down the mountain."

"Use bamboo to lure water down the mountain? How?" The sudden voice made Su Yunduo's ears inexplicably warm, and only then did he realize that Lu Jinkang and others came to the valley with Ning Zhongping.

Su Yunduo tugged at her clothes in a panic, raised her hand to straighten her hair, and soon laughed at herself in her heart.

It wasn't the first time she saw Lu Jinkang, so why panic? !

After calming down his ups and downs, Su Yunduo looked at Lu Jinkang with a smile and said, "Why is my cousin here free today?"

Before Lu Jinkang could open his mouth, Ning Zhongping had already given Su Yunduo the answer: "Nephew Lu Xian heard that you will start picking grapes to make wine tomorrow, so he specially sent sugar here today."

Candy?It really is a good excuse!

Lu Jinkang's original excuse was to visit Mrs. Lu on behalf of the Duke of Zhen and his wife. Ning Zhongping said that giving candy seems to be a better excuse. Although the candy was brought back by the carriage that Ning Zhongping sent grapes to the city, there is no need for him at all. Escort personally.

In a few words, Ning Zhongping and Lu Jinkang had already arrived in front of Su Yunduo.

At Su Yunduo's feet, there happened to be two sections of bamboo pipes with bamboo joints that had been cut open, which could be used to answer Nan Jinkang's question with gestures and explanations.

Su Yunduo picked up a piece of cut bamboo, first pointed to the compartment at the bamboo joint that she had opened, and then gestured with two sections of bamboo: "I need to get through the compartment at the bamboo joint, and then Put the thin end of the bamboo over the thick end, so that the bamboo pipes are discharged from here to the bottom of the mountain, and the water can be guided from the valley to the bottom of the mountain."

Pausing for a breath, a trace of shyness appeared on his face: "This water is good, whether it is cooking rice or making tea, it has a sweetness that cannot be compared with well water. Grandma can use half a bowl more for each meal made with this water." .

These days, in order to cook rice and make tea, I have to come to the valley several times a day to fetch water, which is inconvenient and may trample on the grapes.

In addition, I also want to use this spring water to clean the wine jars and grapes, so I thought about drawing the water down for easy access. "

Lu Jinkang squatted down, picked up the two pieces of bamboo and looked at them carefully, then put the thin head of one piece on the thick head of the other tightly as Su Yunduo said, and then put one end at the spring, and the other end was very Soon you will see the water come out.

Everyone understands the truth, but not everyone can apply the truth to practice like Su Yunduo.

At least Lu Jinkang himself didn't think of this, so he looked at Su Yunduo with both approval and scrutiny.

Su Yunduo just pretended not to see the scrutiny in Lu Jinkang's eyes, and was asking about Ning Zhongping's delivery of grapes to the city.

Lu Jinkang is a smart person. Although he wondered how Su Yunduo knew so much, he didn't want to ask more questions. After a moment of silence, he said, "My cousin is so ingenious! It's just that the bamboo is cut into such small pieces, although it is convenient to get through the bamboo joints. For the interlayer, the amount of work is not small, and besides, it is difficult to arrange such short bamboo pipes from the valley to the downhill, and the amount of work is not small, and the problem of leak prevention along the way is also a problem that needs to be solved.”
