The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Chapter 27 Carpenter Qin came to invite someone to build a water mill!

When visiting relatives on August [-]th, Song Yingkui's task was to take the mule and grandma to her distant cousin's house in Sifanggou.

Grandma Jiang really understood in her heart that she did not choose to go back to her natal family to change relatives.He must have known that his natal brothers were too tall, and it would be difficult for his family to be related to them again, unless there was another woman in the same situation as himself.Among the real relatives of the Jiang family, it seems that there is no such school girl, and even if there is, grandma doesn't want to find her son.

This distant cousin's family in Sifanggou is in a much worse situation, and if he can match up with the current disciples of the Song family, the gift of two catties of bean curd sticks may be of value.After arriving at Sifanggou, the situation is really better.Grandma's distant cousin was very enthusiastic when she saw her eldest cousin, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, come to the door with a big gift (two catties of tofu and two catties of yuba).While chatting, it came to the matter of telling the second uncle about the marriage.

The net is cast out, and whether the fish can be caught depends on the feedback in the next period of time.

After visiting relatives and returning home, the whole family was busy with road repairs and autumn harvests for the next month or so. Song Yingkui took time to make a cart for the old house and returned their favor for helping with road repairs.

After finishing the autumn harvest, it was already the end of September.How to arrange the next winter leisure?The bean curd stick business was done by the second uncle and others. Song Yingkui felt that he should find something to earn money. It seemed that he couldn't realize his plan to make a fortune just by selling bean curd sticks?

When I was really worried about what else to do, my second uncle brought an unexpected guest from the street, Carpenter Qin.

"Uncle Qin, why are you here? Do you have a job in our town?" Seeing Carpenter Qin, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Song Yingkui hurried to the main room, poured a bowl of tea, and asked why he came to his house.

"If you don't have anything to go to the Three Treasures Hall, I have work to ask you to do together." After Qin Carpenter sat down, he began to talk.

"Is there a job? Uncle, you can just bring a message, why do you need to make a special trip?" When Drowsy met the pillow and was worried about how to make money, Carpenter Qin brought good news.

"I'm going to come over. This time, I took on a big job. The water mill of Guo's family in Xiakou, the county, was washed away when there was a flood a few days ago. They want to rebuild it, so I was invited to be the master builder. To be honest, I haven't done the work of building a water mill. I'm a bit unsure about doing it alone, so I thought of you, and I thought about asking you to be an assistant builder, to see if you can take over the job?"

After listening to what Carpenter Qin said, Song Yingkui understood why he asked himself to do this job.The water mill involves a lot of work on wooden mechanical linkages. I have shown my ability and talent to do wooden mechanical work when I was in the craftsman camp.Carpenter Qin himself had no experience, so he found an experienced master craftsman and he became the master craftsman.

"All right, I'll take over this job." Understanding Carpenter Qin's thoughts, Song Yingkui didn't refuse, and directly agreed.He is willing to do the job of building a water mill!
"Are you sure?" Seeing that Song Yingkui agreed happily, Carpenter Qin hurriedly spoke out to make sure.

"To be honest, I'm very sure. I went to Yanchuan Gorge to see Jia's water mill these days, and at least I could make one like them. I'm really willing to do the job of building a water mill, and I've been thinking about finding opportunities to do it for a long time." When the Yanchuan River exits Yanchuan, there is a Daxiakou, not far from Song Yingkui's house, where there happens to be a water mill that can be used for reference.

"I'm so sure that I haven't done it before?" Carpenter Qin thought that Song Yingkui had done the work of building a water mill when he first heard it, but he was panting after talking, so he just went to watch and learn, and he agreed with his mouth. Is this reassuring?

"Uncle Qin, do you look at the size of people when the water is milled?" Seeing that Carpenter Qin still doubted his ability, Song Yingkui asked him back.

"What, energy? The water mill baby, no matter how familiar you are, the master will not let you carefully measure the size of the mill."

"I can draw a small sample of the appropriate size of their water mill after looking at it. Do you think I can imitate it?" Not to mention some dry goods, I really can't restrain Carpenter Qin.

"Really? Is it the kind of picture you made when you made the big wind box?"

"Of course! If I don't have this ability, why should I accept the job of repairing the water mill?"

"Let's go, let's go to Yanchuan Gorge to see Jia's water mill, and then go to Huangshiping Gorge to see Cao's mill." Carpenter Qin came here this time because he thought that Song Yingkui had the ability to draw small samples out of thin air, so he tried calling, maybe he could do it.In addition, I want to go to Wuying Town to see the water mills of Cao's and Jia's families, thinking about learning.

In the entire Yuyuan County, there are not many places with water mills, and there are two in Wuying Town. If you go there yourself, even if Song Yingkui can't handle the work of the assistant craftsman, you can see the two water mills.

After not staying at home much, Carpenter Qin dragged Song Yingkui to see the water mill.Seeing that he was in such a hurry, it was not easy to delay, so he had to put a saddle on the old mule and accompany Carpenter Qin to see the water mill.

Carpenter Qin rode a mule. In order to keep up with his speed, Song Yingkui also had to ride a mule.Boys in the borderlands have been able to ride pack animals since they were young, and Song Yingkui couldn't help but be troubled by this.

After seeing the water mills at Yanchuan Gorge and Huangshiping Gorge, Carpenter Qin submitted his resignation directly, saying that he would stay in Wuying Town for one night, and then go straight back to Yuyuan County the next day.Obviously, he said this when he saw that Song Yingkui's house was tense and he couldn't stay overnight.

There was no spare room at home, so Song Yingkui didn't pretend to be polite, but made an appointment with Carpenter Qin to meet Qin's family in the county town three days later with a sample of his third uncle and the water mill.

It was Song Yingkui's request to bring the third uncle to work as a helper. Although the third uncle has not yet become a carpenter, he can always be a helper?Earning twenty pennies a day is not a loss for the owner.Bringing a sample over there was naturally a request from Carpenter Qin.Although he couldn't understand the strange pictures Song Yingkui drew, he knew that as long as this guy had that kind of strange pictures, he could make real things!Seeing the strange picture would make him feel more confident.

"Five taels of silver for a trip? Can you still bring your third father to earn wages? How long will you work on this trip?" Back home, Song Tianshun couldn't help exclaiming when he heard the salary that Carpenter Qin gave his grandson.

"The Guo family is in a hurry to rebuild the water mill to make money. This time they hired a lot of people, and they have to do the work in a month at most." The water mill is a serious business that can make money. For the Guo family, time is money, and they are naturally willing to spend more money to meet the deadline.

"Earn five taels of silver a month? Kui Wa, it's too easy for you to earn this money." Sun Tzu said that the working time is only less than a month, and Song Tianshun was even more excited when he heard it.

"It's still a low salary. Carpenter Qin is paid ten taels! If this kind of work can come to me directly, he can earn more money!" In all honesty, Song Yingkui felt that Carpenter Qin took advantage of himself this time.For other jobs, Carpenter Qin is the master, but for Jianshui Mill, his contribution should be greater than that of Carpenter Qin who has never done this kind of work!
