neighbors with the king

Chapter 53
"Miss Su, please tell me." Liu Yu said with a smile.

"Mr. Liu, can you find me a better blacksmith?" Su Qingqing hesitated and said, "I want to ask him to make a tool for me."

"What kind of tools?" Liu Yu asked with great interest.

"It's a labor-saving tool." Su Qingqing replied.

"My lord has such a person." Li Yuanchu, who was sitting beside him abruptly, said.

"Ah?" Su Qingqing gave him a strange look, probably not expecting that the cruel King Lin would offer to help. "Thank you then." She stammered.

"I'll get you a sketch." When she calmed down, Su Qingqing secretly annoyed herself for losing her composure.What about the prince, he is not just a person, he deserves to be so excited.

Li Yuanchu took the sketch she handed over, and his eyes lit up immediately. "Can you tell me what this thing is for?" He looked at Su Qingqing sternly.

Let her explain why she looked at herself with such murderous eyes?Su Qingqing was very dissatisfied with Li Yuanchu's attitude.But she still gave Li Yuanchu a good introduction. "The one that can be fixed is called the fixed pulley, which can change the direction. The other is called the movable pulley, which can save effort. The combination of the two is much more convenient. Even if it is a heavy thing, it can be easily lifted with them." Lift things to high places."

It turned out to be like this, after Li Yuanchu heard her explanation, his eyes looked at the sketch even more fervently.If there is such a thing, the Qing Dynasty will inevitably bring about a great reform.

After hearing her explanation, Liu Yu and the giggling Li Yuanyi also stretched their necks to look at the sketch. When they saw the things on the sketch, they were shocked and speechless.

"Is this what your master taught you?" After a long time, Li Yuanchu finally raised his head and looked at her indifferently.

"No, the master explained some principles, and I figured it out by inference." Su Qingqing immediately denied it.If she uses her unfounded master as an example, Li Yuanchu and the others will probably be suspicious.

"Oh!" It seemed that she didn't expect her to answer like this, and it took Li Yuanchu a long time to come up with a word. "This king will let people drive you out as soon as possible."

"Thank you, my lord." Su Qingqing said with a smile.She figured it out now, it was Li Yuanchu who suspected that her master wanted to investigate, anyway, it was someone who didn't need to be, so let him investigate.It's not me who is struggling!
After sending Li Yuanchu away, Su Qingqing hurried to the kiln, and she had to wait for her own cement to come out.

After six hours of calcination and cooling, Su Qingqing felt that it should be ready to leave the kiln.After all, producing cement is also a challenging task for her, and she simply figured it out blindly.

"Can it be done?" Su Qingfeng looked anxiously at the kiln.

"I don't know yet, don't make Qingqing anxious by yelling." Su Qingshan pulled him away and scolded him softly.

Only then did Su Qingfeng notice Su Qingqing's furrowed brows, and he explained anxiously, "Qingqing, didn't we have no experience in doing it just now, and it doesn't matter if we don't succeed, we just do it again."

"Calm down a little bit, no one will think you are dumb." Su Qingshan gave him another look, and reprimanded him.

What Su Qingfeng said was wrong, he shrank his head and hid aside in fright, daring not to speak again.

"It's okay. The second brother is right. It doesn't matter if you don't succeed. At worst, you can start all over again." Su Qingqing smiled and helped him out.

Mr. Su and Su Zhongyi have already opened the kiln and poured out the cement.

Su Qingqing immediately went over to wash and check.

The quality of the lumps of cement is still unclear, and they need to do the last process.

Su Qingqing numbered several kinds of cement with different grades, and asked Su Qingshan and Su Qingjian to crush them with big stones. She needs to test it out.

When Su Qingjian and the others saw that this kind of cement was still so troublesome, they backed down a little.But everyone didn't want to make Su Qingqing sad, so they did as she said.

After several kinds of cement turned into powder, Su Qingqing asked Su Zhongyi to add sand and water to stir, then put it aside.

"It's so crispy, can it build a house?" Su Qingfeng's curiosity resurfaced.

"Pour some water on the cement every other hour." Seeing the finished cement, Su Qingqing felt relieved.Unexpectedly, the first time I did it, there were really two kinds of labels that were successful.But which kind of label is better, we still have to wait until tomorrow to make a decision.

"Grandpa, let's find a broker to buy a cow tomorrow." Su Qingqing said.Rolling cement is too laborious, and she doesn't want her family to suffer for it.

"Well, your father and I will go and have a look tomorrow." Farmers definitely have a deep affection for cattle.It turned out that the Su family was poor and couldn't afford cattle, so everything was done by manpower.Seeing other people's cows makes me envious. Now that I have money, I want to buy a cow of my own.

"It's better to go back now, just come and water it when you are free." Su Qingqing said with a smile.

At night, Su Qingjian and Su Qingshan kept her instructions in mind, and went to water the cement as soon as they finished eating.

In the early morning of the next day, when the family stood in front of the concrete, everyone was a little dumbfounded.

"Qingqing, did we really burn this out?" Su Zhongren was in a knot because of his excitement.

"Yes, we fired it. Maybe we can still make a fortune with this kind of cement." Su Qingqing replied with a smile, still very satisfied with the finished product produced for the first time.

"Okay, my daughter is smarter." Su Zhongyi drove Su Qingqing's eyes full of fatherly love.

"Okay, granddaughter is smarter." Mr. Su also said happily, just as Su Qingqing said, he also saw business opportunities in cement.

The family carefully covered the cement, then locked the door and went home.

Along the way, no matter who saw them in the village, they greeted them politely, and Mr. Su also responded politely.

The Su family is no longer the dilapidated household it was back then.

After breakfast, Mr. Su and Su Zhongyi were ready to go out to buy cattle.

"Grandpa, Dad, buy two cows, preferably one male and one female." Su Qingqing urged repeatedly.

"I know, you've said it many times." Old Man Su laughed at her.

Su Qingqing stuck out her tongue. She said it many times because she was afraid that the two of them would be reluctant to part with the money!
The two walked forward, and Li Yuanchu and Li Yuanyi arrived behind.

"Lord Lin, can I have a business deal with you?" Su Qingqing asked Li Yuanchu seriously as soon as she saw them.

"Hey, little girl, you are so loud." Li Yuanyi shook the fan in his hand, shaking his head and said contemptuously. "You are poor and white, what do you use to do business with Sixth Brother? Could it be these herbs in your home?" He looked around.
