"When I went to the cloth shop today, I happened to see a shop that was being sold. Then we don't have to run back and forth. We can just set up a small workshop inside the shop."
The matter of opening a shop was mentioned last time, and the old man was not surprised.
"Do we have enough silver?"
We have to build a house and open a shop, I’m afraid it’s not enough, right
"Once this batch is sold out, it will definitely be enough."
The old lady now has nearly 500 taels in her hand, which is actually quite a lot.
But what Su Qiao wanted to build was a place with houses, vegetable fields, orchards, gardens and farms.
"Then you decide for yourself!"
The old man was confident in her doing the job, so he just let her do it.
The next morning, the old lady took her second uncle and went to the orchard in the mountains, carrying cloth.
Su Qiaogang and her mother went to her grandmother's home in Shahe Village.
At noon, they returned to Liushu Village again, this time with their second uncle and fourth cousin.
They drove two ox carts, and the back of the carts were filled with various wooden parts.
After returning home and having a meal, they carried the parts to the river.
My second uncle had already dug a canal that extended from the river bank all the way to their paddy fields.
As soon as they arrived at the place, Su Qiao rolled up his sleeves and started assembling with his second uncle and fourth cousin.
"If it really works, the villagers won't have to work so hard."
The old man stood on the grass by the river, holding his pipe and watching carefully.
Except for Su Yichen and Su Yihe who were attending private school, everyone else in the Su family came.
Su Qiao directed his second uncle and second uncle to place the waterwheel in the river.
"Don't worry, Master! It will definitely work."
The wind-powered waterwheel consists of two parts: the windmill and the waterwheel. The windmill transfers wind energy to the waterwheel.
The main component of a windmill is the wind wheel, which is composed of eight sails. The sails are driven by the oncoming wind. The sails carry water to the waterwheel below, which draws water from the river and flows it into the canal.
Host, your grandfather is such a nice person. He is neither a village official nor a head of the village, but he cares so much about the people in the village and thinks about them in every way.
If it were someone else, the first thing they would think of when seeing a good thing like a wind-powered water wheel is to make money.
If you think further, you will definitely want to gain some kind of achievement.
Otherwise, why would the people in the village respect him so much? Do you think it's really because he has studied for a few years and there are a few educated people in our family
When a woman marries a man, what she cares most about is the fields and the harvest from the land.
When the old man was young, after finishing his housework, he would often take his family to help the lonely elderly people in the village farm.
That prestige and respect are accumulated bit by bit.
To put it bluntly, if the original body's mother Zhou Lihua didn't exist in this family, and if the two original body's sons hadn't ruined their reputation outside, the people in the village would probably have respected the old man even more.
Her father and brother are a little lazy, but they are scholars, and scholars always have certain privileges.
Besides, her father acted quite decently outside, so no one really said anything bad about him.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
"Yeah, old man, such a big wheel, what is it used for?"
The Su family made a big show of it, and some villagers who were working in the fields gathered around them.
The old man smiled modestly and said, "Haha, my daughter Dani said that as long as there is wind, the wheel will turn, and then the water will flow up the ditch. I thought what she said made sense, so I thought it would be okay to give it a try. If it works, we won't have to carry water up bucket by bucket when we fill our village."
The villagers who gathered around widened their eyes in surprise.
