Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 229

Gu Ning smiled and said: "When I went to Shaanxi, I happened to see it, so I studied it." He is very curious about new things, as long as he is interested, he likes to study it thoroughly, so he has a deep memory.

Xiuyao couldn't help but said: "Master Ning, may I ask you for advice?"

Gu Ying immediately said: "No, is my Brother Ning telling you these bumpkin things?"

Gu Ning glanced at her, she bit her lip and closed her mouth, looking ruthless.

Gu Ning said to Xiuyao: "Why don't we go to Feng's house and talk again."

Xiuyao hesitated for a moment, and said: "If Master Ning doesn't dislike it, why don't you go to the noodle restaurant." She felt uncomfortable when going to Feng's house, so it would be better to go to Boss Wang's noodle restaurant, but there are ordinary people going there, Gu Ning is afraid that she won't Habit.Even if Gu Ning said that he is not from the Gu family, he is not an ordinary person. After all, he was able to become a scholar at such a young age, and even published a book to guide others. .

Just as Gu Ying was about to reprimand Xiuyao, Gu Ning turned her eyes and glanced at her, she frowned, stared at Xiuyao vigorously, then turned around with a stamp of her feet.Gu Ning said to Xiuyao: "Okay, you go first, I will send my sister to Feng's mansion, and come here." He said to Gu Ying: "Let's go."

Gu Ying refused, "I want to go see it with you."

Gu Ning said softly: "Yingying, you are out of line when you come out disguised as a man. Grandpa may not be angry if you know about it. If you continue to bluff around like this, don't let me help you when you are beaten." He has a gentle temper and rarely Blaming others, even if it is criticism, seems to be discussing, but it hits the nail on the head, and people can't help but disobey.

Gu Ying had no choice but to agree, and followed Gu Ning to Feng's house. The maids had already arrived, so she greeted the master's house first, and asked the girl to take Gu Ying to find Feng Yulan to play.Gu Ning talked to the steward who came with him, and asked him to arrange it, while he went out for a stroll.

Because he likes river courses and new things, he is also close to farmers, and his family and friends know about it.The Holy Majesty once praised him for being young and promising, and the old man in the family also supported him, so his actions are often free and unrestrained.What's more, he also concealed his identity from the outside world. When he went out, he dressed in ordinary clothes, just like those ordinary children from rich families, so naturally he wouldn't have any big troubles.

Gu Ning went back to his room to change, and changed into a plain summer shirt.He didn't ride a horse either, but took a young man and hired a sedan chair to go to the street where Mr. Wang's noodle shop is located, but he didn't sit at the door, but got off the sedan chair at the street corner, gave the bearer money and ordered the young man The servant went to do some errands, while he walked to find Xiuyao and Qin Ye.

Xiuyao and Qin Ye ate noodles and chatted with Boss Wang and the others. Since they had vermicelli, their business has improved.In addition to making noodles, he also makes beef vermicelli, a small bowl, the quantity is not much, the price is not expensive, but there are many people who buy it.

Although the price of vermicelli is expensive now, as long as the quantity is small and the price is low, sometimes it is better for everyone to accept it than a large quantity and a high price.A bowl of beef vermicelli for five cents is bought by a lot of people, with small profits but quick turnover, and Boss Wang has made a lot of money because of this.

Xiuyao saw Gu Ning coming, and asked him to sit inside. Boss Wang saw that she had a friend, and immediately said: "I gave this bowl of noodles to my little brother, Xiuyao, don't refuse."

Xiuyao wanted to say that Gu Ning might not eat outside food, and those rich young masters probably wouldn't like to eat the food from the small vendors here, but who knew that Gu Ning directly thanked him and said that he wanted to eat.He looked at Xiuyao, "I heard that you made money, so if you invite me to eat noodles, I will not refuse."

Xiuyao laughed and said to Qin Ye: "Brother, do you want to buy some vegetables?"

Gu Ning shook his head, "No, I only like to eat this kind of noodles." Then he said to Wang Laodao: "Please have another bowl of beef vermicelli." The skin of the face and hands is as white and tender, similar to his face here, thinking that he must not be an ordinary person, afraid that Gu Ning would find it dirty, so he hurriedly washed and wiped his hands with a clean towel, and then started Make noodles.

Xiuyao and Qin Ye were embarrassed to watch other people's food, so they took out the melon seeds, walnuts and other roasted seeds and nuts they bought before and ate them slowly.Qin Ye was afraid that Gu Ning would not like people watching him eat, so he turned his head to talk to Xiuyao as much as possible, but he still couldn't help taking a peek, and found that Gu Ning was really nice and gentle when he was eating.He couldn't help thinking in his heart that if he ate with them when he left his husband, the custody would starve him to death.And when he ate, he didn't move at all. Everyone ate the noodles with a whimper, so it was delicious. But Gu Ning ate without any movement, and didn't splash a little soup, and the corners of his face and mouth were dry. Clean, it seems that this is also a skill.

Gu Ning chewed the noodles with his mouth closed, feeling that Qin Ye was constantly peeping at him, so he asked Qin Ye slightly with a smile on his face, but Qin Ye blushed, smiled and peeled the melon seeds to eat.

Although he ate carefully and elegantly, his speed was not slow, and his appetite was not small. He ate a large bowl of noodles cleanly, and drank almost all the bone broth in it, leaving only a pile of shredded ginger at the bottom of the bowl.

He pushed the bowl and said to Wang Laodao, "Thank you, Boss Wang's noodles are truly amazing."

Boss Wang couldn't help being overjoyed, "It's delicious, come here often."

Gu Ning responded, "Is there a place to wash your hands?"

Boss Wang thought he was about to go to the latrine, so he immediately pointed it out attentively, but then said: "I'm afraid the smell is a bit offensive, and you can't stand it."

Gu Ning smiled and said, "Just wash your hands."

Boss Wang immediately pointed to his bucket, "My lord, you don't mind, let's go here."

Gu Ning thanked him, washed his hands, then wiped his mouth with a snow-white handkerchief from the left armhole, stuffed a piece of betel nut into his mouth, chewed it carefully, wiped his hands, and wiped the betel nut again. Spit in the handkerchief and put the handkerchief into the right armhole.

After tidying up, he came back and sat down, reaching out to Xiuyao, "Can you lend me a book."

His hands are like a work of art, his skin is as white as jade, his fingers are long and smooth, but there are many calluses on his finger pads and tiger's mouth, and they are quite thick, Xiuyao thinks it looks like his brother has been working all year round.

She handed the book over, opened the volume, and pointed to the pictures in it.

Gu Ning glanced at it and said, "I can help you change it a little bit." He pointed to a few parts in the picture, "This place can be changed to a pulley connection, so that it will be easier to move."

Xiuyao said: "I just looked at the picture, but I don't really understand it, thank you, Young Master Ning."

Gu Ning said with a smile: "If you don't call me Master Ning anymore, I'd be more than happy to give advice."

Xiuyao smiled and didn't say a word. According to the customs of the country people, boys who are older than her are called elder brother, and girls are called elder sister, but she feels that she can't call him elder brother to someone like Gu Ning. He is too smart for her to call him elder brother. I can't pretend to be tender, "Then I will call you Gu Ning, I hope I won't be called rude."

Gu Ning smiled slightly: "Very good. Let's go, let's go over there and find some utensils."

Xiuyao and Qin Ye got up and went to Boss Wang to help watch the donkey cart as usual, and they followed Gu Ning.After walking for a while, Gu Ning led them to a blacksmith shop, and after talking, the man found a long sickle head for them.

Xiuyao saw that the scythe was very similar to the samarium knife she had seen before. Speaking of it, she always felt that the scythe was very similar to the scythe carried by the god of death, and it was extremely sharp.Gu Ning talked to the blacksmith, and gestured to the length of the wooden handle, how to modify it and so on.When the blacksmith explained it clearly, Gu Ning led Xiuyao and the two away to a bamboo strip shop.

Bamboo craftsmen's shops specialize in weaving utensils, such as baskets, scorpions, dustpans, plaques, baskets, etc. They sell them, and they even have fences, chopstick cages, and warm nests.Now he is weaving a dustpan-like thing, Xiuyao watched his hands and fingers beating nimbly, those bamboo strips slowly turned into a utensil like dancing.Grandpa and father are clever enough to weave and sell them on weekdays, but if they want to open a shop and rely on it for food, they dare not take risks.

The bamboo craftsman was in his fifties, his face was full of wrinkles and his hands were covered with calluses. He glanced at them and said, "It will be fine soon."

Xiuyao went to see Gu Ning, but he stared intently at the things in the hand of the stripper, looking very interested.If he didn't talk, she didn't ask any questions, and just watched those little things with her elder brother.She saw that there were a few small fruit baskets, which would be useful if they were placed on the kang. Although Dad could also weave them, they were not expensive items, and they didn't cost much to buy.Besides, the cotton locust slivers and wicker weaves at home are all rough basket-like things. It is still impossible to say that such exquisite handicrafts are the same.

Xiuyao picked a few, asked her eldest brother to pay, and picked them with a small stick. At this time, the stripper was almost finished weaving.Gu Ning squatted down to tell him something, and he fiddled with it again and again, changed it, continued to make it up, and showed it to Gu Ning while doing it.

After a while, Gu Ning's servant ran in from the outside, holding a package of things in his hand, "Master, I bought it." He put the package of things on the small table next to Gu Ning.

Gu Ning looked at it and said with a smile, "That's right." He called Xiuyao and Qin Ye to look at it, and said, "Look, this is a pulley, it can be placed on the Mai Chuo, and the samarium knife is also installed in the front. At that time, the left hand will pull the rope of the pulley, and the right hand will hold the samarium knife, which will be able to cage the wheat stalks as soon as it is opened and closed, and the samarium knife will be able to cut the wheat."

Qin Ye was surprised and said, "It's so amazing? Can you cut wheat without holding it?"

Gu Ning nodded, and said gently: "That uncle can make Mai Chuo instead of hand."
