Travel to ancient times and become rich women with your bestie

Chapter 189 I and E

At this time, Carpenter Li and his family also arrived.

When they saw Mrs. Chen when they entered the door, the whole family greeted her warmly. Mrs. Chen was a little surprised that they had come as well.

But it was only for a moment, and she warmly invited everyone to come in and eat.

Li Tiantong was carrying a large basket on his back. When he came in and put it in the yard, several people discovered that it was full of vegetables.

"Oh, girls, you know that we are a thick-skinned family. We will come as long as you call us. We don't have anything good to offer at home. We only have these dishes, so please don't despise them."

"What are you talking about, sister-in-law? If you don't bring anything, can we chase you out? Besides, this dish is so outstanding." Duan Minmin gave Sister-in-law Li a reproachful look.

"We've been worried about having no food these days, and now you guys are sending us pillows just because we're sleepy. Look at this dish, it's so fresh, and you can tell that a lot of thought went into it."

"Haha, as long as you like it, I can eat it with peace of mind. You can't blame me if I take the food."

"Hahahahaha..."

Everyone in the yard burst into laughter at her words.

"Come in and eat. The porridge is cold now. It's just enough for you to eat a few bowls."

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin led a few people inside.

Although it was just porridge and a few side dishes, Zheng Yuan's cooking skills were impeccable and everyone enjoyed the meal very much.

After dinner, the children took a nap as usual, while Zheng Yuan, Duan Minmin and Carpenter Li went to wait at the village entrance, thinking that the stonemason should have delivered the things.

As for Old Lady Chen and her two daughters and Sister Li and her family, they were all busy with their own things. They separated at the door and went in different directions.

When the three of them ran to the village entrance, they did not see Boss Shi and his family.

It's already noon. Could something have gone wrong? Why hasn't it been delivered yet?

Just as they were wondering, they suddenly heard someone calling them. They looked up and saw that it was Zhao Youwang's wife who was busy in the fields.

"Jiaming's wife, Yuandong's wife, the things you want have been delivered. My wife has just led them there. You can just go there."

It turned out that he had already taken it over. Zhao Youwang is really kind-hearted.

"Oh! Okay, thank you sister-in-law!"

The two men responded and hurried over there with Carpenter Li.

When we reached the shore, we saw Zhao Youwang and Boss Shi with their two sons, eating a bowl of porridge with some vegetables and enjoying it with relish.

A mule was tied next to it. The millstone and mortar had been put down and piled up beside it. The mule was eating grass leisurely.

Grandpa Chen and Chen Jiadong were busy with the others, and the wooden planks underneath were almost laid.

Boss Shi looked up and saw them, then stood up with the bowl in his hand.

"Oh, sisters, I'm so sorry, it's just a coincidence that I got a bowl of rice for delivering the food."

"That's great. Is the food to your liking?"

"That's delicious. The cooking skills of the two girls are incredible. It's much better than the one I have at home."

"Haha, Boss Shi, you're joking. It's just that you're used to eating the food your sister-in-law makes, and suddenly you're eating food from outside for the sake of novelty." Zheng Yuan interrupted him. This was not a place for comparison.

Boss Shi didn't say anything else. He quickly finished the porridge in the bowl, then stood up and pointed to the stone mortar and millstone piled aside.

"Two girls, the things have been delivered to you. Please take a look. Do you have any questions?"

The two walked forward and took a careful look around and found nothing wrong.

The stone mill was seen yesterday and it was very good. The three stone mortars were also made in a hurry, but they were also made very carefully. The two were very satisfied.

Carpenter Li was also touching the stone mill carefully, marveling in his heart that this stone mill was really well made.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin walked up to Boss Shi and expressed their satisfaction without reservation: "No problem, Boss Shi's cooking skills are really good."

After saying that, Zheng Yuan took out five taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Boss Shi. Of course he had to pay after inspecting the goods.

Seeing Zheng Yuan take out such a large piece of silver, those who were busy looked over.

My God, these two widows are really rich. They just took such a large piece of silver without any expression of regret.

If Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin knew what these people were thinking, they would definitely complain. If they feel bad, then they don't have to pay? Since it's all agreed, why should they feel bad?

Boss Shi took the silver with a smile, looked it over before carefully putting it in his lapel pocket.

"Girl, I think you are going to build a water mill?" After receiving the silver, Boss Shi was not in a hurry to leave.

"That's right, otherwise we wouldn't need such a big millstone."

"Well, there's nothing to do at home today. If you don't mind, I'll bring the stone pillars and beams to help you grind it into place before going back."

Boss Shi offered to help, firstly to thank the two for paying promptly, so that they could sell a large fish that had not been sold for several years. Secondly, he felt bad if he didn't help them after eating such a rich meal.

"That's great. I'll trouble Boss Shi and the two brothers."

Naturally, the two of them would not refuse. More people mean more strength, not to mention three strong men.

Besides, they often deal with stone mills and mortars, so they must know better how to move it better. Otherwise, the three of them would not have been able to move such a heavy millstone from the stonemason's shop.

"This is Brother Li who helped us build this mill. He specializes in carpentry. If you have any questions, please tell Brother Li in detail."

Carpenter Li is also here, and if he has any questions, the two of them can communicate.

"That's no problem, brother. One of us is a carpenter and the other is a stonemason. It's just right. Hahaha." After saying that, Boss Shi directly hugged Carpenter Li.

Carpenter Li felt a little embarrassed and tried to break free, but Boss Shi's arms, which were often used to smash stones, were full of muscles, like iron pliers, and he could not break free at all.

There was nothing I could do but let him hold me in his arms and go see the mill.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin naturally noticed Carpenter Li's discomfort, but they found it a little funny. This is the difference between an i-person and an e-person.

This morning Chen Jiadong took these men up the mountain to cut wood. Now all the wood has been brought down and is being used to lay the floor.

Because this place was originally a water mill, there was no need to wait for the wood to be completely dry before laying it. There was no need to worry about any problems after two people had done it.

The mill is not big, so not much wood is needed, and they work very quickly.

Besides, after eating so many delicious foods, everyone felt embarrassed to slack off and worked even harder.

Once the last piece of wood is laid, the floor will be completed.

Next, Carpenter Li and the stonemason went forward to see where it would be more appropriate to place the millstone, and then they drilled the hole and put the mill in place.

When Carpenter Li first arrived, he brought a tape measure with him and had already measured the millstone and the mortar. Now he had a rough idea in his mind. He measured it on the mill for a while and finally determined the placement of the millstone and the mortar.

It is a difficult task to move such a large millstone purely by manpower, and this place is on the shore. If you are not careful, the millstone will roll into the river, and it will be difficult to fish it out again.

Boss Shi is more experienced, so the others follow his instructions to move the big guy.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin looked at it for a while and estimated that it would take some time. It would not be a good idea to just stand there and watch, so they went back to do their own things.
