Chapter 104
Chapter 104
"Hey!" Cheng Donglai ran into the yard, came out carrying a ladder, and said with a smile, "Everyone make way. Don't bump into each other."
The crowd of onlookers stepped back a few steps and made room.
"Give it to me." Liu Ding placed the bamboo dragonfly on the chopping board.
Cheng Donglai carried the ladder carefully to avoid bumping into people, walked around the stall, came to Uncle Liu, and put the ladder up and leaned it against the roof.
Liu Ding looked at the meat stall and found a suitable location that even a bamboo helicopter could reach. He carried his wooden box on his back and climbed up the ladder. The box was filled with carpentry tools.
Drilling holes in the beams takes time.
"What is this for?"
"Do you know, pig-killing lady?"
"I don't know! Let's just watch patiently." Shen Hui'e said to them with warm eyes.
After waiting for about half an hour, Liu Ding looked at them with sweat all over his forehead and said, "Give me the bamboo dragonfly below."
At this time, the bamboo dragonfly had been tied with cloth strips, and Shen Hui'e held the bamboo dragonfly and handed it to Liu Ding.
Liu Ding took a wooden stick and embedded it directly into the beam.
I pushed the bamboo dragonfly with my hand and said, "It's spinning. It's spinning."
"Wow... this strip of cloth is flying too."
"What's the use of this?"
"To drive away flies!" Shen Hui'e revealed the answer with a smile, "Otherwise my pork stall will be full of flies. Do you mind when you buy pork?" She stretched out her hand to push the wings of the bamboo dragonfly, which was also the fan blades, and it began to spin.
"Hey... Hey... It's really interesting."
"I didn't expect that the bamboo dragonfly these kids played with could be used like this by turning it upside down."
"Driving away flies, it's really something that the butcher lady could come up with."
"It's quite convenient with just a gentle push like this."
"It's much better than fanning yourself. My arms can't stand fanning for too long."
"Yes! We sell food, we really need it."
"Hey, hey! Even if there are people down there, it's cool!"
"That's right! Just raise your hand and turn it. It can turn several times."
"Hmm! The fan stops when it stops."
"It's nice to fan yourself in the summer!"
"Swish..." Everyone present looked at Liu Ding in unison.
Shen Hui'e had a smile on her lips as she looked at their divergent thinking. She saw that some things could be thought of without her having to say anything, and they really cared about her!
"I'll try this, but I don't know if it will work." Liu Ding said conservatively.
"Do it for my family first. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, I will pay you the money."
"My home, my home."
They spoke anxiously, fearing that it was too late.
"Everyone, everyone, if you are interested, please come to my house! Don't disturb the butcher's business." Liu Ding said to them with a smile on his face.
"Let's go!"
Liu Ding looked at his second sister-in-law, bowed and said, "Second sister-in-law, I'm leaving first. Come to me if you have anything else."
"Go and get busy!" Shen Hui'e said, looking at him gently.
All the onlookers left at once. Shen Hui'e saw Shen Changsheng and asked, "Brother, when did you get here?"
This person is really not worth mentioning. He didn't come back safely.
"Uncle!" Da Chong and Li Nu looked at Shen Changsheng and saluted.
"Be good!" Shen Changsheng looked at the brother and sister lovingly and said, "I just got here." He patted the carriage road and said, "It's impossible to get in." He smiled and said, "There are too many people gathered in front of the stall."
"Oh! You bought a carriage?" Shen Hui'e said, looking at him with a smile.
"A carriage is more convenient and can hold a lot of things." Shen Changsheng pulled the carriage over and tied it to a big tree outside the wall.
"Don't tell me you made a stone mill for grinding soybeans." Shen Hui'e looked at him with surprise in her eyes.
"How can I not satisfy this small request?" Shen Changsheng looked at her tenderly and said, "Besides, I also want to eat the food made from the beans ground into juice." He smiled and said, "We have to get the stone mill out."
Shen Hui'e walked around the stall and together with Shen Changsheng lifted the millstone out of the carriage.
"Oh my God, it's so big." The big tiger exclaimed.
"Where are you carrying it to?" Shen Changsheng looked up at his sister and asked.
"Let's carry it to the kitchen first!" Shen Hui'e blinked and looked at him.
The stone mill weighed about two or three hundred pounds. Thanks to the two people who were doing farm work and had the strength, they managed to carry the stone mill into the kitchen with great effort.
"We should ask someone to help." Shen Hui'e said, looking at him with her deep and clear eyes.
"I think they are lifting it quite easily." Shen Changsheng moved his wrist and said, "I think I have no problem either."
"Haha..." Shen Hui'e shook her head and laughed, "I won't show off my prowess in the future."
"Uncle, have some water." Da Chong came over with a stoneware bowl and raised it in front of him with both hands, saying, "Boiled water."
"Okay!" Shen Changsheng picked up the coarse earthenware bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
"Let's sit over there and talk." Shen Hui'e said, pointing to the bench in the yard.
"Okay." Shen Changsheng walked over, sat down, picked up the earthenware jar on the long table, poured a bowl of water, and drank half a bowl.
"Have you eaten?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with concern and asked.
"I've eaten. I'm not hungry, just thirsty." Shen Changsheng picked up the coarse pottery bowl and took another sip of water.
"Did your trip as county magistrate go smoothly?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with concern and asked.
"It went smoothly. Very smoothly." Shen Changsheng looked at her with a smile and said, "The toothbrush is selling well. Everyone likes it because it can clean teeth. It also freshens breath, which is very good." He then added, "The partner is very generous and a particular person. It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."
"A journey of a thousand miles tests a horse's strength; time reveals a person's true character." Shen Hui'e looked at him calmly with her deep and clear eyes.
"Then let's wait and see." Shen Changsheng didn't say anything to her cautious appearance.
It is true that being cautious can keep you safe, but you must always be on guard against others, as money can tempt people.
"This teppanyaki and the big iron pot have been told to the county magistrate. It spread really fast." Shen Changsheng said to her with a smile.
"Hehe... Life is all about eating and drinking, so we can't miss out on delicious food." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at him with her bright eyes.
"You've come up with a new thing." Shen Changsheng pointed at the bamboo dragonfly on the meat stall.
"It's hot now, so we need to keep away flies!" Shen Hui'e said gently, her voice clear and pleasant.
"If there is a way to make it move on its own, we will have a better summer." Shen Changsheng said with his eyes shining, smacking his lips.
"Haha... I can't do anything about this. It depends on everyone to use their brains." Shen Hui'e looked at him with a smile and said, "Whoever can come up with a solution will benefit everyone."
"Are you going out next?" Shen Hui'e asked again with concern.
"No, we won't be going anymore. We'll have to pay the bill every three months." Shen Changsheng looked at her with his bright black eyes and said, "We just want to share the profits and not get involved in other people's daily lives."
