Chapter 175 Windmill
The man carried out a tattered box from the shack. There were a lot of things in it. The workmanship was very exquisite, but no one knew what many of the things were used for.
Wen Zhenyi didn't know what these things were used for. They looked strange and were made of different materials.
The man took out something and assembled it, and soon it took on a different shape.
Wen Zhenyi was a little surprised when he saw what appeared. It was a windmill.
The man turned the handle and the small windmill began to turn.
The others looked at it in confusion, not understanding what this thing did.
The man looked at Wen Zhenyi: "Do you know what it is?"
"Windmill," he said, pointing to some places. "Pour the grain in here, turn the handle here, and it will generate wind to remove the impurities and empty grains from the rice."
The man didn't expect her to know, and the light in his eyes became more obvious: "You know his use."
"Well, this way we can quickly screen out impurities in the rice."
"Haha! Finally someone knows that what I made is not junk." The man shed tears of joy.
When he did it, everyone said he was dreaming and no one believed him.
Wen Zhenyi looked at his small model, touched his chin and thought for a moment: "If you have nowhere to go, why don't you come to our village and make this thing?"
"good."
Wen Zhenyi took a look at him and said, "Haiwa, can you borrow some clothes from your father? Take him to wash them."
Haiwa nodded: "Okay. You wait here for me."
The man began to pack up his things. Many of the things here were picked up by him and then made bit by bit. They looked a bit rough.
Ma Yushun walked up to Wen Zhenyi and said, "Cousin, what is the use of this thing?"
"It can quickly separate impurities, husks and fine rice from rice grains. It's a very practical tool."
"Very useful?"
“It can save a lot of labor.”
“So magical?”
"You'll know when the autumn harvest comes."
Haiwa came back with a set of clothes and took the man to the river to wash them. He then changed into a clean set of clothes. Although they didn't fit him well, they finally looked better.
The man's beard was a little messy, but his hair was clean.
Wen Zhenyi looked at him and said, "Uncle, what's your name?"
"Xiong Lu."
"Then I'll call you Uncle Bear from now on."
"Okay." Xiong Lu loaded his things onto the ox cart.
Wen Zhenyi and the others were going to have lunch at Haiwa's house today, so they followed Haiwa to his house.
When the villagers saw Haiwa, they all greeted him with a smile: "Haiwa, we have guests at home today!"
"yes."
"Haiwa, you're picking coconuts again!"
"I picked some."
"The tree is tall, be careful!"
"good."
Wen Zhenyi found that the villagers in this village were quite kind: "Uncle Xiong, what are you eating here?"
Xiong Lu's face turned ugly: "I stole them all."
Wen Zhenyi's mouth twitched: "When you make money, remember to pay it back."
"good."
Haiwa's house is not big, the yard is very clean, and he raises a few chickens.
A little girl with pigtails was feeding chickens. When she saw Haiwa coming back, she immediately ran over with a smile and said, "Brother, you're back!"
Haiwa smiled and rubbed her head: "Well, these are my brother's friends, this is Miss Wen, this is Mr. Shen..."
The little girl greeted several people obediently.
Benben and the other kids quickly started playing together.
A woman came out of the kitchen, her skin also tanned. She looked at the people in the yard with a smile and said, "Miss Wen, please sit down and rest for a while." Then she looked at Haiwa and said, "Haiwa, quickly pour some water for the guests."
Wen Zhenyi smiled and said, "Aunt, you don't have to be so polite."
"Guests are welcome. Our home is a little simple, so please don't be disgusted."
Wen Zhenyi originally planned to cook the food himself and teach them how to cook seafood.
She walked towards the kitchen and saw Haiwa's parents preparing seafood, thinking about what to do: "Uncle and aunt, let me do it."
"You are a guest, how can I let you come?"
"I used to be in this business, but it doesn't exist." As he said that, he found a waist apron and tied it around himself, looking at today's seafood.
Hai Wan Niang looked at her husband with some embarrassment: "Daddy, this..."
"Since Miss Wen is going to cook herself, let's help her."
Hai Wan's mother smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll find it for you if you need it."
Wen Zhenyi saw that there were many varieties of seafood today, but the quantity of any one item was not enough to complete a dish, so she simply made only three things.
A seafood spicy hot pot, a seafood fried rice, and a seafood soup.
"Aunt, I need some spices, peppers, vegetables, and sauces."
"Wait a minute, I'll go find it for you. I wonder if it has what you want."
Wen Zhenyi looked at what she had found. Some things were missing, but it shouldn't be a big problem. "Aunt, I'll tell you while I'm making it. You can eat it this way in the future."
"You, you want to teach me?"
"It's not really teaching. If you can figure it out on your own and set up a stall like this, you should be able to do good business."
Haiwa's parents were very excited when they heard this. You know, they all knew how good Wen Zhenyi's business was. If they took something from their store and sold it outside, the business would be booming.
"Will this cause you any trouble?"
"No, but if you go out to sea again in the future, remember to save any good things for me."
"Of course, of course."
Wen Zhenyi started to make the spicy hot pot. He poured oil into the pot, added seasonings, fried them over low heat to bring out the aroma, then removed the residue and left only the five-spice oil.
Since there was no hot pot base here, she could only make other sauces to season the food as best she could.
Blanch the seafood and vegetables in water and set aside.
Add chili peppers, sauces, onions and ginger to the five-spice oil and stir-fry until fragrant. Then add vegetables and stir-fry. Finally, add seafood and season with soy sauce, salt, cooking wine and sugar.
The fragrance filled the kitchen. Haiwa's parents were tired of eating seafood, but when they smelled the whole aroma, they couldn't help swallowing their saliva.
Wen Zhenyi put the spicy seafood hotpot into a bowl and said, "This is the spicy seafood hotpot. The seasoning is a little lacking, but I think it tastes good."
“This smells delicious.”
"Aunt, did you remember all the steps just now?"
"I remember it, but I don't know if I can do it."
"You can try more and you will find the taste you want slowly."
"Okay, I'll try more later."
Wen Zhen saw that they had steamed the rice and said, "Next, I'm going to make seafood fried rice. You can also sell this. I think the business will be good."
