Chapter 120: Good Vision, Just What I Want
After several days of hard work, the Li family finally prepared the soap ordered by Shen Yu and the shampoo ordered by Qin Yuzhen.
The extra ones are to be sold in her shop.
Set the soap aside to saponify.
She researched adding color the last time she made soap.
This time when I made the soap, I added some colors according to the pattern, and it looks more beautiful.
That morning, Xie Yan and Shen Yu came to Daohua Village again.
In the distance are rolling green hills, lush green fields, and colorful wild flowers blooming on both sides of the path. Such a small village makes people feel calm.
While admiring the scenery, Xie Yan saw a waterwheel standing in the distance, which immediately attracted his attention.
I was curious about what this was. It didn't seem to be there when I came here last time.
When they arrived at Li's house, they exchanged greetings one by one and asked Qingfeng to bring down two baskets of oranges and apples.
Xie Yan saw that Li Wanyue's eyes lit up, and even his thanks were more sincere.
I thought to myself, she really likes eating fruit.
Last time at Baiweilou, I saw that she liked eating oranges, so I asked someone to bring some over from somewhere else.
Xie Yan thought of the wooden tool in the river and asked directly: "Miss Li, I just saw a round wooden tool standing by the river. What is that?"
"Oh, that's the water truck. It was installed just a few days ago."
"Waterwheel? What's it for?"
"Irrigate the farmland." After Li Wanyue said this, she asked Li Sandong to take them to the river to take a look.
Shen Yu was not interested in the waterwheel; he was eager to see the soap he had ordered.
Li Wanyue took him to the backyard.
I saw rows of soaps placed on bamboo racks, with flower petals spread on top to make the soaps more fragrant.
Pink peony soap, pink peach blossom soap, light yellow chrysanthemum soap, green wormwood soap...
Shen Yu looked at it with shining eyes, this was all money.
Li Wanyue said: "All the styles added together cost a thousand dollars."
"Okay, as agreed, four hundred coins a piece, a total of four hundred taels."
After Shen Yu finished speaking, he took out two hundred taels of silver notes from his purse and handed them to her: "This is all I brought today. I'll give you the rest when you come to pick up the goods."
Li Wanyue took the banknote and said, "Okay, I'll write you a receipt."
"So rigorous." Shen Yu looked at her with a smile.
"Of course, this is business, so we can't be careless."
Shen Yu said, "By the way, help me make another 2,000 pieces. I have a feeling that this soap will be very popular, and these 2,000 pieces won't last long."
Li Wanyue agreed.
…
On the other side, Xie Yan followed Li Sandong to the river and saw Li Sandong move the stone that was blocking the waterwheel, and the waterwheel began to turn slowly.
After seeing the function of the waterwheel, I couldn't calm down.
This waterwheel is a very useful tool for fields where it is inconvenient to dig canals to divert water.
"Did your sister come up with this?" Although Xie Yan asked, his tone was full of affirmation.
Li Sandong nodded proudly: "Yes, the canals in the fields have been dug. We no longer need to carry water for watering the fields in the future. It saves time and effort."
"Yes, it saves time and effort." Xie Yan repeated.
After returning to the Li family, Xie Yan stared at Li Wanyue with burning eyes, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"There's something on my face, look at it like this."
Xie Yan curled his lips: "Yes, there is something."
Li Wanyue frowned. Was there something rubbed on her face?
She wiped it with the back of her hand.
Xie Yan's smile deepened: "It's not dust, it's wisdom."
Only then did Li Wanyue realize that he was talking about the waterwheel.
"Thanks for the compliment."
Xie Yan said: "Miss Li, your waterwheel is a good thing that benefits the people. Have you ever thought about reporting it to the government?"
"Are you saying that you should report the water truck to the county magistrate through Mr. Shen?"
"yes."
Li Wanyue frowned. This county magistrate allowed his brother-in-law to bully the people. Who knows whether he did it unknowingly or intentionally.
If he is unaware, it means he is not a conscientious official. If it is the latter, it means he is not a good official.
But she didn't know of any other way. There were brides from all over the village who married into the village. If they told her parents about it when they returned, she wouldn't be able to hide it.
On the contrary, they reported it and their village had no merit at all.
I sighed secretly in my heart and thought, forget it, as long as it can make things convenient for other people, who cares who reports it?
Thinking of this, she nodded and said, "If you and Mr. Shen have connections, then I will give you the blueprints. It will also be a good thing if it can bring convenience to other people."
Xie Yan bowed his hands and said, "Miss Li is righteous, I admire you."
Li Wanyue waved her hand: "Okay, go plant the potato seedlings first, and I'll get you the blueprint when I come back."
"good."
The group went to the fields.
The ridges in the field have been made, and Li Dachuan and Li Erhu put the picked seedlings at the edge of the field.
Li Wanyue used a small shovel to draw a shallow trench on the ridge, poured water into it, placed the seedlings horizontally in the trench, and buried the vine seedlings in the soil, leaving the leaves exposed.
"That's all."
Xie Yan took note of it silently.
The group immediately got busy, and several close relatives also came to help.
In just one morning, most of the sweet potato seedlings were planted.
Returned to Li's house at noon.
Li Wanyue washed her hands, glanced at Xie Yan who was washing his hands beside her, and turned back to her room.
After a moment, he took out a handkerchief and handed it to Xie Yan.
"I used your handkerchief before, and I'm returning it to you."
Xie Yan glanced at her, took the handkerchief and looked at it carefully.
The handkerchief is made of cloud silk, soft and comfortable. One corner of the handkerchief is embroidered with a green bamboo pattern, which is my favorite color.
"You have good taste, it suits my taste, so I'll take it."
Seeing that he was satisfied, Li Wanyue smiled and returned to her room.
After washing his hands, Shen Yu walked over to Xie Yan and smiled meaningfully: "Oh, Miss Wanyue actually gave you a handkerchief?"
"Don't talk nonsense. If others hear it, it will ruin her reputation." Xie Yan smiled and said, "I just lent her my handkerchief and she returned it to me."
"Oh~ just right, let me use it for a while, I'll wipe my hands." Shen Yu said as he reached out to take it.
Xie Yan immediately stuffed the handkerchief into his arms and pointed to the cotton handkerchief beside him: "Isn't it there? Wipe it off."
Shen Yu smiled and said, "Stingy."
A quarter of an hour later, Li Wanyue handed the finished drawing to Xie Yan.
After the last water truck installation, she optimized the drawings and changed the necessary parts. There were basically no problems when following the drawings.
Xie Yan took the drawing and started to look at it immediately, then put it away carefully.
The meal at noon was completely different from the last time, and Xie Yan and Shen Yu were very satisfied with the meal.
I thought to myself, next time I don’t know what to eat, I might as well come here for a meal.
After dinner, the two left.
In the afternoon, Li Youshan and his men transplanted the remaining sweet potato seedlings, and the sweet potato planting was completed.
At dinner in the evening, Li Wanyue asked Li Sandong: "Sandong, when you went to deliver shampoo to Yuyanfang, did you ask when the facial cream bottles would be delivered?"
"No, they have a new shopkeeper, and he is not very clear about this matter."
Li Wanyue wondered: "Are they selling soap and shampoo now?"
"No, the guys there just took the goods and said they would settle the bill once they reported it to the boss."
Li Wanyue couldn't understand. When discussing business, she saw Qin Yuzhen also wanted to try it. Was it because she ordered so much goods just to thank her, and didn't really want to go for the affordable route?
Or was there some other accident?
