Chapter 57 Painting Waterwheel
The next day, Foreman Yang came early in the morning with people and materials, and the men in the village who were fine at home also came.There are more than 30 people.

When they came to the selected homestead, an altar was set up. Foreman Yang finished his congratulatory speech, set off firecrackers, and started working.After explaining clearly to the villagers, he gave the blueprint of the workshop to Foreman Yang.Foreman Yang read the drawings and agreed to come down, saying that it would be done in a month without any problem, and it would cost 500 taels of silver. Today Shen Lanyue gave 700 taels to Foreman Yang to pay half of it up front and the other half when the work was completed.After explaining everything here, let Shen Junzhong and Wuchen be here to supervise the work.

The big guys have all gone home, and when they get home, Xiao Liu also comes to pull tofu,
"Ms. Shen, our shopkeeper said that the 100 yuan is not enough to sell. See if you can make more."

"Yes, but you can't do too much. If you do too much, people will not be rare. Remember that rare things are more expensive, and tell Uncle Qian how many copies to sell every day, so that the appetite of the customers will be stimulated, and there will be more customers. One-time Satisfaction will only lead to the loss of customers. No matter how good the food is, people will get tired of it, and tell Uncle Qian that I will give him the recipes and let him launch each special dish every day. This will attract more customers .remember?"

"I have written it all down, don't worry, I will definitely tell the shopkeeper."

"Okay, then go back quickly."

After sending Xiaoliu away, Shen Lanyue returned to her room. She wanted to prepare the blueprint of the waterwheel. There is no waterwheel in this continent, otherwise she would not rely on the sky for food.I have to irrigate my own wheat in the spring.Shen Lanyue was painting, when He Lianchen came in, "Yue'er, what are you doing?"

"It's Ah Chen, I'm drawing something, what's the matter with you?"

"It's nothing, I just want to come to you, I'm quite bored, come to Shen Lanyue, Yue'er, what are you painting?"

"Here, this is a waterwheel, which is used to transport water. Put the waterwheel in the river, and the water will turn the waterwheel, which will bring water out of the river. These tanks are used to hold water and bring it out. Pour it into this large water tank, and then flow into the ground. This water wheel is used for irrigation, so that you don’t have to depend on the sky. The crops can be irrigated when they want.”

"Yue'er, you are simply too smart. Can the waterwheel you painted allow my elder brother to submit it to my father? Don't worry, my father will definitely reward you."

"I drew it for the common people. If you want to tell your father, just say it."

"Really? Yue'er? You don't mind?"

"Do you think I am someone who cares? It happens that it is much more convenient for you to pass it on to your father than me."

"Okay, Yue'er, draw another copy for me alone, and I will ask Qingfeng to send it to elder brother."

"No problem you wait here,"

In the morning, Shen Lanyue drew two copies, and gave Qingfeng one copy to the prince.

After dinner in the afternoon, He Lianchen accompanied Shen Lanyue to Shen Dazhuang's house, "Uncle Dazhuang is at home."

"It's Yue girl, come and sit, is this?"

"Oh, Uncle Da Zhuang, Ah Chen is staying at my house for a few days."

"Hello, Uncle Shen."

"Oh, okay, girl, what's the matter with you here, and I happen to have something to do with you."

"It's nothing serious, I just want Uncle Da Zhuang to make something for me, so I gave the blueprint to Shen Dazhuang. Shen Dazhuang took it and looked at it. At first I thought it was complicated, but it's actually quite simple when I look carefully, just that there are more small parts. .”

"The girl is on my uncle, I don't know when you want it,"

"Uncle Da Zhuang is not in a hurry for me to use it for the New Year, you make two copies of each for me."

"Okay, girl, what are you doing here?"

"Uncle, this is a water wheel, used to water the ground."

"Girl, you are really amazing, uncle admires. By the way, girl, how about selling me the blueprint of your planter? Uncle believes in you, and someone will definitely buy it in the future."
