The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 376 Wine Shop ([-])

As the name suggests, Xidaying is located in the western suburbs of the capital, in the mountains not far from this Zhuangzi.

In less than half an hour, Lu Jinkang and his party came back dragging two iron rods.

To be precise, one is an iron rod, about ten feet long, and as thick as a baby's arm, and the other should be called an iron bar, which is also about ten feet long. Su Yunduo looked at it, and found that the diameter was the size of a one-yuan coin in the previous life, and the other was pointed. I don't know if it was done temporarily, or it was just like this, but it coincided with the tool that Su Yunduo wanted to borrow from Lu Jinkang.

It's just that Lu Jinkang's face was a bit stinky, and when Ning Zhongping saw clearly that there were two people who came with him, their faces also changed.

Su Yunduo looked at Lu Jinkang and Ning Zhongping curiously. When she figured out who these two people were, she instantly understood why Lu Jinkang and Ning Zhongping changed their faces.

Among the two people who came to Zhuangzi together, the older one was exactly the Sun Hao that Lu Jinkang had mentioned before, who was officially worshiped as a doctor of the fourth rank military department, and was the chief officer of the Xidaying Arms Factory.

The young one, surnamed Yang and named Pingzhi, also served in the Ministry of War. His official worship was the fourth-rank Yuanwailang, and he was the adjutant of the arsenal.

It must be impossible for the chief and adjutants of the armory to come together. It must be because Lu Jinkang borrowed an iron bar and an iron rod. It must be Su Yunduo's project to divert water down the mountain that attracted them.

It was almost the beginning of the Shen Dynasty, and with the efforts of Peng Zhuangtou and his team and the assistance of Zhang Ping'an and others, the dozens of bamboos that Su Yunduo had ordered had all been chopped down and piled up on the edge of the valley.

Although the days in summer are relatively long, there is no more time to waste if you want to complete the water diversion project.

Although Lu Jinkang said with a sullen face, he still arranged things in an orderly manner.

Unblocking the bamboo joints is not only a matter of physical strength, but also a technical task. Someone needs to pick up an iron rod or iron bar to force it. Naturally, someone needs to support the bamboo. It requires the cooperation of both parties to complete the task.

At the beginning, due to improper coordination, not only failed to open the bamboo joints, but also almost hurt people.

Fortunately, Lu Jinkang quickly found the problem. He broke up and regrouped the guards he had brought with the manpower in Zhuangzi, and when they cooperated again, they had a certain appearance, and they gradually improved after a while.

After preliminary experiments, first use the pointed iron bar to open the bamboo joints, and then use the thick iron bar, which can get twice the result with half the effort.

So Lu Jinkang divided his hands into two groups, one group used iron bars to open the bamboo joints first, and the other group used iron bars to expand the results.

Lu Jinkang and Ning Zhongping personally led the people at the open bamboo joints, and according to what Su Yunduo had said in advance, they lined up and down all the way up and down with thin hoods and small heads.

During the whole arrangement process, Lu Jinkang and Ning Zhongping probably chose not to bring Su Yunduo in tacitly out of the protection of Su Yunduo.

When encountering difficult problems, they threw them to Sun Hao and Yang Pingzhi who came with them without any pressure.

Sun Hao and Yang Pingzhi are naturally not weak if they can be the chief adjutant in the armory factory. Even if Lu Jinkang had concealed something from them when he went to borrow tools and made them confused, now he has already understood the water diversion project. It's clear.

Facing the problems that Lu Jinkang threw them, they were easy to solve, even more thoughtful than Su Yunduo.

Although Su Yunduo really wanted to watch the whole process of the water diversion project from construction to completion, but he also knew that he was no longer needed here, and Ning Zhong would give her winks from time to time, and secretly sighed in his heart, let's go down the mountain .

Two "big officials" suddenly came to the village, and Ning seemed a little nervous. She didn't know how to entertain them. Today, Mrs. Lu took Madam Wu to another village to inspect, and Ning was worried about the two. The old man who was over half a hundred years old also sent out Nanny Chen beside him. Although there was a pinellia and a nanny Lin by Ning's side, these two didn't work for Mrs. Lu in the first place. Lacking some knowledge, I can't give Ning any good advice.

Seeing Su Yunduo coming down the mountain with Zisu and Bai Zhi at this moment, it was like seeing a savior, Ning almost jumped at Su Yunduo, the flustered look made Su Yunduo think that something happened to the old lady Lu who was out.

After hearing the reason why Ning Shi was so flustered, Su Yunduo sighed again, Ning Shi seemed to have grown a lot by following Mrs. Lu these few days, but once she left Mrs. Things are still in a panic. It seems that there is still a long way to go to reform the Ning family.

Although Su Yunduo didn't sigh aloud, there was still something on his face.

Ning's holding Su Yunduo's hand couldn't help but tightened, and then slowly released it after a while, looking at Su Yunduo awkwardly, like a child who has made a big mistake: "I, I..."

"Mother, they came here today just because they were curious about our water diversion project. You don't have to be nervous, just treat them as ordinary guests. It's getting late now, mother can arrange a table for two tables in the kitchen, express There should still be tomatoes and peppers from that village." Su Yunduo patted Ning's hand lightly and said slowly.

Su Yunduo's gentle voice relieved Ning's nervousness very well, and her confused mind gradually cleared up: "The tomatoes and peppers are still there. When your uncle came back from the city, he brought some fresh beef. It’s working in the well. Kill two chickens, and then let people go to the pond to catch some fish and shrimp, don’t you think it’s okay?”

After Ning calmed down, the arrangement was considered appropriate, Su Yunduo nodded and made some supplements.

Ning asked Banxia to go to the kitchen to order the menu, and Su Yunduo asked someone to send more mung bean and lily soup to the valley, so as not to let anyone get heatstroke.

After everything was arranged properly, Ning looked at Su Yunduo, who rarely took time off to play with Su Zerui, and looked a little dazed. After a while, she sighed quietly and said: "Compared to Duo Duo, mother is really useless!"

Su Yunduo was afraid that Ning Shi would get into the wrong again, so he patted Su Zerui, who was twisted into a twist in his arms, to make him quiet, and said to Ning Shi with a smile: "Mother, don't underestimate yourself, Mother's arrangement just now is already very good. That’s right, at most I just reminded my mother.”

How could Ning not understand that Su Yunduo was trying to appease her, and felt even more useless in her heart, but it also aroused her competitive spirit that was worn away by Yang and Xiao Yang in the early years.

She is a mother, so she can't let her daughter stand in front of her whenever something happens. Seeing that her daughter is about to grow old, she should get married in a year or two. After all, she has to support this family by herself.

Ning Shi tightened her hands, and once again told herself in her heart that she must strive for success.

When Mrs. Lu came back, it was nearly midnight, and the spring water in the valley had flowed down the mountain as she wished, and there was thunderous cheers in front of the warehouse.
