Chapter 239 Don't Be an Ignorant Wolf
"Shi Lizheng, this is not for sale." As soon as Xiao Jiuyue finished speaking, Shi Lizheng's eyes suddenly dimmed. The next moment, Xiao Jiuyue's words made Shi Lizheng's eyes full of light again.
"The thresher was just made and needs improvement. If you want it, you can bring the materials and wire and pay Ai Qiushi some labor fees!"
Xiao Jiuyue said generously that a thresher can not only save everyone’s effort, but also allow them to do more work!
The thresher was not invented by her. She was just a porter. She looked at Ai Qiushi, who was standing aside cautiously and said, "Ai Qiushi, from now on, if the villagers come to ask you how you made something, as long as they bring the materials, you can make it. Just calculate how much you want to charge for it!"
"I, I don't want any wages." When Ai Qiushi heard that he still wanted to be paid, he waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I work for the eldest lady. The eldest lady pays me a monthly salary. I do whatever the eldest lady asks me to do!"
"You earned the money yourself, so take it with confidence." Xiao Jiuyue said, looking at Shi Lizheng and said, "Shi Lizheng, the thresher needs to be improved. The rice ears are not threshing cleanly enough!"
"Miss Xiao, isn't this clean?" Shi Lizheng also picked up the rice ears that had been threshed by the thresher and exclaimed, "When we thresh them by hand, they're only a little cleaner than this. We'll just shake them again and they'll be clean!"
"In the past, it took three or five people to thresh the rice from dawn to dusk, and their arms would be sore. Now I see that with this thresher, one person can do the work of several people!" Shi Li looked at Yu Ge with envy. He stepped on the thresher with his feet, holding the rice ears in his hands, and shook them left and right in the thresher. The rice fell into the big bucket!
From being unfamiliar at first, they eventually found the rhythm. As Yu Ge worked, he praised, "Miss, this is really useful!"
"Be careful with your hands, don't put them into the rotating thresher." Xiao Jiuyue reminded him from the side. Yu Ge was becoming more and more cocky, and she was really afraid that he would become too cocky.
"Don't worry, Miss!" Yu Ge said nonchalantly.
While the big barrel was full of rice, Xiao Jiuyue whispered a few words in Ai Qiushi's ear. Ai Qiushi immediately stepped onto the machine and forked a cucumber with a branch. As soon as the cucumber fell on the thresher, it was smashed to pieces!
"Oh, God, Ai Qiushi, what are you doing? Such good cucumbers are inedible!" Yu Ge looked at the cucumbers that had not been finished with heartache. He had wanted to save them for later, but who knew that they were no longer edible now!
"Yu Ge, don't underestimate the thresher. Although it has no blades, only wire, once it starts spinning, the damage it causes is no less than that of a blade!" Xiao Jiuyue's voice was crisp and cold. She looked at Yu Ge and said, "If you are careless, it won't be the cucumber that gets shattered, but your hand!"
She made the thresher to make life easier for everyone, not to cause bloodshed!
Yu Ge subconsciously retracted his hand. Looking at the broken cucumber on the ground and thinking about his own hand, Yu Ge's heart tightened. He immediately admitted his mistake and said, "Miss, I was wrong. From now on, I will be very careful when using the thresher!"
"Your hands are your own. No matter who uses the thresher, the first thing is safety!" Xiao Jiuyue's crisp voice rang out, and her sharp eyes swept across everyone's excited faces one by one. The cucumber just now was like pouring a basin of cool water on everyone's passionate hearts!
The thresher is good, but if we don’t teach a profound lesson, I’m afraid that when more threshers are made, something big will happen!
"Shi Lizheng, the thresher is a good thing that benefits everyone, but if it is used improperly, if someone breaks his hand and bleeds, wouldn't that be ugly?" At this time, Xiao Jiuyue restrained her expression and released her full aura. Shi Lizheng and the villagers then deeply realized that Xiao Jiuyue was different from the girls in the village!
"Don't worry, Miss Xiao. If it is done well, you must strictly follow Miss Xiao's instructions. Even if someone disobeys, Miss Xiao cannot be blamed at all!" There was a hint of respect in Shi Lizheng's voice.
Even a simple thinker knew that the thresher was a good thing. If someone disobeyed him and harmed him, and even wanted to tarnish Miss Xiao's reputation, he would never allow it. Shi Li was looking back at the villagers who were excited, and a voice like a bell rang out: "Do you guys want the thresher?"
"think!"
"Uncle Shi, this one person can do the work of several people, who wouldn't want it?"
"If we had a thresher, we could do a lot more with a few extra people!"
“…”
The villagers were very excited. They saw such a large pile of rice in Yu Ge's hands, which was finished in a short time. Everyone was envious!
With this thresher, they can harvest rice faster.
Shi Lizheng raised his hand, letting the excited villagers slowly quiet down. Everyone stood on tiptoe and looked at Shi Lizheng. He shouted loudly: "Miss Xiao is kind-hearted and willing to teach us how to make this thresher. However, it is also dangerous to use. If any of you mess around and hurt yourself, you can't blame Miss Xiao!"
"If anyone dares to repay kindness with enmity, don't blame me, the village head, for not giving you face!" Shi Lizheng's resounding voice was heard by every villager.
He Changqing said loudly: "We will never be ungrateful. Thank you, Miss Xiao!"
He Changqing's words were very sincere. Without Xiao Jiuyue, he would still be in jail. His sister He Lian would probably have died long ago. His mother had no hope, so maybe it was all over!
It’s not like now, they are already thinking about building a house!
"Yes, we are not ungrateful."
"Thank you, Miss Xiao!"
The voices of the villagers became louder and louder, and then everyone began to study the thresher. After getting Xiao Jiuyue's affirmation that they could definitely help make the thresher, everyone went back to their fields to work with peace of mind.
"Miss Xiao, I see we need iron wire. Do we need to go to the county to buy it? How much iron wire do we need?" Shi Lizheng asked.
The wooden boards are easy to get, as there are woods everywhere in the mountains, but the iron wires are expensive!
"The amount used is not much. You should ask Ai Qiushi for the specific amount." Xiao Jiuyue was only responsible for saying this. She didn't know the specific amount.
"Okay, okay." Shi Li was resisting the urge to ask now, and hurried to work in the fields. The autumn harvest cannot wait, and the most important thing is to harvest the rice in the fields quickly while the weather is good!
If it rains, the rice in the fields will be ruined!
"Miss, the book really contains everything. You are so amazing!" Luo Kui looked at Xiao Jiuyue with admiration. Although she didn't understand the thresher, it looked like a good thing. The villagers of Fu'an Village were very envious.
"However, this thresher is one of a kind. Miss, are you going to tell everyone about it so easily? Teach us how to make it?" Luo Kui asked doubtfully.
