Disarmed and returned to the field: the goddess of war returns to the village to engage in construct

Chapter 113 The Threshing Machine

Now that she is pregnant, it is a big deal. If Ye Qing wants to do something, it is very likely that she will die twice. If a murder case is involved, Ye Qing's life will be ruined. Even if she is not beheaded for public display, she may spend her life in a cell. live the rest of my life.

Ye Daniu crawled over with a face full of surprise: "Daughter-in-law, are you really pregnant?"

You said it affectionately, as if you cared about this child so much, Zhuang Zhuang is your first child, and I didn't see how kind you are to him!
If it wasn't for Liu Shi and Xiaoya, Zhuang Zhuang didn't know how much more he would suffer.

Now that I am still looking forward to having a second child.Even if you have it, you will be a shopkeeper when you are born!

Lai Cuihua blushed and nodded lightly: "Yes!"

Now that she is pregnant, she has something to rely on, who is she afraid of at this time?

Old man Lai pointed at Ye Qing: "Cuihua is pregnant, how dare you treat her like this? Are you trying to drive her to a dead end? In her stomach is your unborn nephew."

Ye Qing glanced at him indifferently: "The person who pointed at me last time, the grass on his grave has grown higher than a person."

Old man Lai was so frightened that he quickly took his hand back. This female devil who doesn't eat oil and salt is really terrifying!

Ye Qing asked Lai Cuihua: "How many months are you pregnant?"

Lai Cuihua paused: "It's been a month!"

Ye Qing: "When did you know you were pregnant?"

Lai Cuihua: "Just two days ago."

Ye Qing: "That's weird. I remember you said you were pregnant a month ago. Normally, morning sickness will not occur until more than a month later. Calculated, you should have nearly three months now." You are pregnant, why do you say it is only a month?"

Lai Cuihua didn't expect Ye Qing to remember it so clearly, it was she who frightened Liu Shi casually, her eyes flickered, she didn't dare to look at Ye Qing: "Maybe I was too nervous, so I remembered it wrong."

Ye Qing smiled coldly: "Whether you remember wrongly or you are actually pregnant, this family has already been divided. This is an indisputable fact, written in black and white. Take back your messy thoughts and shady tricks, and live your life well. I said that I will not give you a second chance, since you don't listen and insist on challenging my bottom line, then don't blame me for being rude."

With a burst of screams resounding through the sky, Lai Cuihua fell to the ground pale.

He didn't care about her painful hand, and stepped forward to help Lai Cuihua up, but Lai Cuihua was too fat, and she couldn't lift her up alone.

Both his son and daughter were injured, and he didn't know when to heal his own hands. At this moment, hatred arose in his heart, and the sound of cursing kept coming out of He's mouth.

Ye Qing glanced over, and old man Lai was so frightened that he hurriedly covered her mouth: "Old lady, don't die, just say a few words less."

Several members of the Lai family supported each other, and left in a panic!

Ye Daniu and his wife had nothing to rely on, so they went back to their room obediently and never dared to come out again.

Looking at the crumbling thatched cottage, Ye Qing felt annoyed.

If it was in the northwest, she would definitely kill them with one knife,

But, this is the countryside, this is Shihe Village!
Ye Qing can not care about his own reputation, but he can't care about Ye Haihe and the others.

They are natives, Ye Zhi and Xiaoya still have a long way to go in the future, and they are still strong, Ye Qing can't just let them live in rumors on impulse.

Living in the country is like this, many times you can't do whatever you want, because there are your relatives here.

. . .

The thatched hut has become like this, and it must be repaired immediately, otherwise I dare not live in it at night, and it may fall down at any time, and it is not good to hit someone.

The screams of the Lai family were so terrifying that almost everyone in the village heard them. The timid ones hid at home and dared not go out.

If you are bold, you just need to grab a handful of melon seeds and move a stool to watch the fun.

In this peaceful small village, it is difficult to see such a large-scale passionate scene, and I wish I could get involved too. It is best to have a chain of shadowless legs and a chic iron sand palm!
Village head Ye looked at the wounded backs of the old man Lai's family, spit out water, and said viciously: "Bah, shameless thing, let's see if you dare to come next time."

Village head Ye shook his head and looked at the thatched hut, and asked: "Ye Qing, this thatched hut can no longer accommodate people, it would be bad if it fell down and hit someone."

Ye Qing said helplessly: "Repair it, let's make do with it first, and build a new house after the autumn harvest."

Village Chief Ye asked tentatively, "Is it still a thatched cottage?"

He felt that Ye Qing could easily take out 100 taels of silver to repay Ye Daniu's debt, which meant that she still had money on hand, and at least she wanted to build a mud-brick house!

Ye Qing shook his head: "The thatched house is not strong, and if it is windy and rainy, you will be afraid. If you want to build it, you can build a green brick house!"

Everyone present heard this sentence, and took a deep breath, blue brick house?They dare not even think about it.

All eyes were on Ye Qing, envious, jealous, jealous, indifferent, all kinds of thoughts were on their faces, how much money did this girl bring back?
The richest people in the village are the village chief's family and Ye Haishan's family, but their houses are still made of mud bricks!
If Ye Qing really wanted to build a green brick house, it would be the first one in Shihe Village!
Village head Ye said cautiously: "Green brick and tile houses are very expensive, so let's build them with mud bricks. It will be no problem to live in for decades."

Ye Qing: "No, mud bricks are ugly and not safe. By the way, the village chief, this yard is too small to be suitable for building a house. Is there any suitable place in the village? I want to build a three-entry courtyard. Of course, the price can be negotiated." .”

Village head Ye received a critical blow of [-] points: girl, you said to build a house if you want to build a house. Not only do you need green brick and tile houses, but you also need to enter the courtyard three times, and you have to buy land again. How much money do you have?

Also, how did you get rich?Can you reveal a little bit of information, I put down my face and hang out with you, I just ask you to take me with you.

It was the first time that Liu Shi and Ye Haihe heard Ye Qing talk about building a house, and they were so shocked that they could not speak for a long time.

Village head Ye glanced at Ye Haihe and his wife: "What do you two think?"

Ye Haihe was a little embarrassed: "Da Ya, let's talk about the house later."

He is a father, he should protect the children from wind and rain, and he does not want to use his daughter's money to build a house. The money was bought with her life and should be kept as a dowry.

Ye Qing: "Father and mother, you don't have to worry about money, you know it well."

Since building a house requires manpower, someone has already begun to think: "Ye Qing, when building a house, don't you always hire people? Can you count me in? It doesn't matter if the wages are less."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone scrambled to gather around, and they finally saw clearly that Ye Haihe didn't have the final say on this family, it should be said that Ye Qing was in charge of the house!

"Ye Qing, think about me."

"That's right, anyway, it's good to invite people from outside. The people in the village are so close, they come early and leave late, so they can do more work."

Everyone, you said something to each other, for fear that Ye Qing didn't hear her own voice!

Ye Qing: "Everyone be quiet, don't worry, when building a house, the people hired must be from the village! But, I have conditions, lazy, dirty hands and feet, gossiping, I am He will never be allowed to work."

"Don't worry, we are all honest men."

"Are you honest? Cut, last time I saw you steal the cabbage from the third family."

"What the hell are you talking about here? Which eye saw me stealing food?"

"I saw it with both eyes."

"Believe it or not I killed you?"

"If you have the courage to do it, don't be afraid of others saying you."

Someone couldn't stand it anymore and pushed them away: "Okay, okay, let's go to another place to argue, don't hinder us here."

The two who quarreled were kicked out, and the others continued to ask Ye Qing when he could start work.

Ye Qing has one head and two big ones, and she hasn't bought the land yet, how would she know when to start work?

The villagers are still surrounding Ye Qing, but the third uncle Ye Hailin has come over with a ladder, and Ye Haihe wants to straighten the thatched cottage!

Building a house cannot be completed in a day or two. There must be a place to live for so many people, so let’s repair it first.

"Brother Haihe, let me help you."

I don't believe that someone has already acted preemptively. I'm helping you for free now. When you build a house, will you be ashamed not to invite me?

If there is one, there are two, and everyone swarmed to help!
Taking this opportunity, Ye Qing went to see the wasteland in the village with Village Chief Ye.

Ye Qing took a fancy to the wasteland near the river at a glance: "Village Chief, I want this piece of land."

Village Chief Ye trembled in fright: "What did you say? You want everything?"

Ye Qing nodded: "Yes, I want this piece."

Village Chief Ye: "Do you know how many acres of land there are?"

"How many?"

"50 mu! One mu of good land is ten taels of silver. Although wasteland is much cheaper, it also costs five taels of silver. Fifty mu of land is 250 taels of silver. It is far away from the village. How can you buy such a big house and build a house? It's not alone, if something happens, we don't know, and we can't rush over there in the first place."

Ye Qing raised his eyebrows: "The village chief doesn't have to worry, everything will be fine."

The village chief thinks about it too, the dozen or so men are not Ye Qing's opponents, if anyone dares to come, they will cause trouble, his worries are unnecessary.

...

It's almost time for the late rice harvest, but all the crop growers are getting nervous, watching the sky every day, wishing they could rush into the fields to grab the harvest.

Life-saving food, relying on it to feed a family, and paying high taxes!
The output of grain in this era is very low, and after paying taxes, there is not much left at all.

Ye Qing went to the field to have a look, and in seven or eight days, the rice can be harvested!

Suddenly, I thought of a problem. There is no cattle in the family. When harvesting rice in previous years, it was quite hard!

Liu and Ye Zhi are in charge of cutting the rice, and Ye Haihe is in charge of threshing!
The threshing of grains is done entirely by hand, that is, a wooden frame with bamboo noodles is placed on the top of the basket, the rice is lifted up, and the grains are threshed by force on the bamboo slices to make the grains fall off!

Not to mention time-consuming and labor-intensive, if the weather is bad, especially in summer, the rice may germinate in the field before harvesting!

Sometimes, there is no time to dry, and the shaved grains can only moldy at home!

There is money to buy cattle, but it seems that there is no place to dry rice in the village.

After the rice is taken back, it is dried in front of the house.

Because not much can be recovered every day.

There is no place to dry the rice. If you use ox-drawn stones to grind the rice, the rice will have to be spread on the ground. When you clean it up, the rice will be mixed with a lot of sand.

Ye Qing wished she could slap herself. After coming back for so long, she even forgot such an important thing, that is to build a threshing machine!

There are still a few days, can it be made?

No matter, a dead horse is a living horse doctor!

Just do what you say, Ye Qing doesn't leave the stall, and concentrates on her little inventions.

Ye Haihe took Ye Zhi, Ji Yun, and Zhou Yuer to the dumpling stand!
Take out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, paint and draw on the paper according to the pedal threshing machine you have seen before!

Painting is actually very simple, the question is how to do it.

It would be best to get the carpenter and blacksmith together and discuss the size of the gear, the size of the chain, the details of the frame and cover, etc!

If it was a pistol, she could draw it with her eyes closed, and she would show the size.

But Ye Qing has never made a threshing machine by hand, nor has she studied it carefully, she just saw it. She understands this theory, but she doesn't know how to communicate with ancient people!
Ye Haihe used to be a carpenter, but his skills are not very good, otherwise, he could go to the town to find a job.

If the threshing machine is manufactured, there should be a market.

It is impossible to make money this year, so we can only look at next year!

Ye Qing doesn't know who in the village is better at craftsmanship, think about it or discuss it after Ye Haihe comes back!

Who knows, waited and waited, it was almost dark, only to see Ye Haihe and the others come back dejectedly.

Liu's heart sank: "What happened?"

Ye Haihe sighed heavily, but didn't say anything, and turned around to move things!

Liu's anxiety was burning: "You are talking, you are silent, you are so anxious to death."

Ye Zhi frowned: "Mother, sister, today's dumplings are not sold out!"

Liu Shi was taken aback: "What? Why can't it be sold out?"

Ye Zhi: "When we went to the town today, we found that three new dumpling stalls had opened. They were a penny cheaper than ours, and many customers went to eat there."

Gritting her teeth, Liu said, "These unscrupulous people are really nothing. We didn't open the stall for a day, and they took away our business."

Ji Yun looked at Ye Qing helplessly: "Sister, what should I do?"

Ye Qing didn't expect that the dumplings would be made so quickly.

I think that the dumplings can last for a while, and it is estimated that new stalls will open after the Chinese New Year.

But now, the greed of human nature is still ignored!

Seeing that their business is so good, I can't wait to replace them!
Ye Qing: "Forget it, making dumplings is so easy, as long as you have seen it carefully, everyone just takes a break, and the rice harvest will be harvested in a few days. Give me a good body and work for me."

Ye Zhi: "Sister, did you just give up like this? But I feel uncomfortable. Not to mention that they robbed our business, they also spread everywhere that our dumplings are too expensive, which makes me very angry."

Zhou Yuer: "Sister, I heard from a regular customer that although the dumplings from other stores are a penny cheaper, their taste is not as good as ours, and the portions are not as big. I think it is better to continue to set up a stall and put more They all compare."

This is because I want to work hard on the quality and taste, and all I can come back to eat are iron powder.

If they want to persevere, they can persevere. Although they earn less than before, everyone still feels hopeful.

Ye Qing gave Ye Haihe the blueprint of the threshing machine: "Father, who do you think can make it?"

Ye Haihe held the drawing and looked at it for a long time: "What is this?"

"Threshing machine!"

"What's a threshing machine?"

Alright, let's start explaining how the thresher works!
If there is no accident, when you find a blacksmith and a carpenter, you have to explain it again.

After Ye Haihe heard it, his first reaction was: "Do you have such a powerful threshing machine in your army? Aren't you going to fight? Do you want to follow the farming?"

Ye Qing: How can I tell you that this threshing machine is not a thing of this era, but a product of a thousand years later.
