Xu Mengxiao didn't know it yet, but his sixth uncle from the same village also had the idea of ​​​​a waterwheel. He would smile indifferently if he knew about it.

Anyone can make a waterwheel, but not everyone can do business!

After Li Ping and Li Ying took the waterwheel with the brand engraved on it to the dock and Taoyuan Restaurant, they immediately started organizing.

After hearing Xu Mengxiao's idea, Lin Gui, who was reorganizing the restaurant, immediately rubbed his hands.

"That's good. The waterwheel is quite famous in the town. I didn't expect it to be moved from the water to a restaurant. Come on, shopkeeper, find a craftsman to build a pond here. Do as Miss Xu said!"

The shopkeeper ran out quickly, and Li Ping was surprised. He didn't expect that he just said Miss Xu's name, and the people in the restaurant readily agreed without asking.

"How much does this waterwheel cost? I'll buy it." Lin Gui gestured to check out.

"No, no, no!" Li Ping blushed honestly and waved hurriedly, "Ms. Xu said that I would let you put it in your store to promote it, so I thought, how can I ask for money even though I have benefited from you?"

"Okay, let's put it in our store from now on. If anyone wants to buy it, I will introduce them to you in Yaoyu Village... Li Ji Waterwheel, hey, this character is really beautifully engraved. Just because of this character, there are people who are willing." Buy it!”

Li Ping was convinced, "This is carved by Lu He, who is Miss Xu's husband-in-law."

"I know, I know, Master Wife." Lin Gui chuckled.

"What?" The Li family, who had been working on the waterwheel during this period, did not know about Lin Gui's apprenticeship.

At the same time, Li Ying, who was smarter and more courageous, took the water tanker to the crowded pier.

The wharf was originally a place for loading and unloading goods. There was a teahouse next to it. Opposite the teahouse was the bustling Tianxiang Building. I heard that they spent a lot of money to buy the shop here.

The flow of people on the pier is also very large, comparable to the market on East Street.

Li Ying didn't know that there was a Ruyi gouache shop in the back alley here. He called a few young men who had bought water carts from other villages. While he was shouting, he pretended to be guests and came to inquire, and arranged for two more people to do it. Trust.

Because everyone has indeed bought and used it and it is very good, and Li Ying did not cheat. He just wanted to compete with Fan Lizheng for business, so he resorted to this method.

As a result, even experienced businessmen would not think that they were performing or exaggerating, just because there were so many people here, and when they saw their water tanker drill, they couldn't help but curiously join in while they were busy.

On the other hand, the people who came from Lihua Village were tribesmen arranged by Fan Lizheng. There had been no movement for several days, so they hid lazily aside to enjoy the cool air and chat with others.

When Fan Lizheng noticed that the market here hadn't opened yet and there were still no people coming to order their waterwheels, he saw a thin young man selling their Liji waterwheels to passers-by with a eloquent and spit-filled voice.

At this time, there was also a sharp-eyed businessman who took a fancy to his waterwheel and was going to see if he could do this business elsewhere after making inquiries.

Not to mention making money, there are indeed many places where water is scarce and it is difficult to divert water. If you can become famous and be appreciated by everyone, it will be of great benefit to businessmen.

Time flashed by, and on the first day of August, Taoyuan Restaurant officially changed its name to Taoyuan Township and reopened!

Early in the morning, Lin Gui sent a carriage to pick up his master.

Lu Hai was going to perform martial arts in public today, so he had to go. Lu He and Lu Lizheng were also persuaded by Xu Mengxiao to get on the carriage. If it weren't for the inconvenience for Zihan's legs and the carriage wasn't big enough, Xu Mengxiao would have really wanted to take her. My mother and eldest sister also took it over and joined in the fun, having fun.

As soon as the Lu family's carriage left, a man who helped Xu Ruyi keep an eye on it told her the news that they had left.

Xu Ruyi immediately found Li Xiucai, "When the opportunity comes, you can go find Xu Lingyan when she goes out to fetch water or wash clothes."

"Okay!" Li Xiucai was still a little upset because of being chased by a dog last time. Now that his life was becoming more and more difficult, he could not wait for Xu Lingyan to do embroidery work and sell money to supplement himself.

When the Lu family arrived at Taoyuan Township, the plaques had not been replaced yet, and they planned to hold a plaque-changing ceremony later.

When Lu Hai saw the high platform set up at the entrance of the restaurant, he didn't have any stage fright at all. He was very excited and eager to try it. He picked through the weapon rack that Lin Gui had specially asked someone to borrow for him. He chose a red tassel gun and casually fired it. Dance, so heroic!

When Xu Mengxiao arrived at the place, he immediately asked about the progress of the work to prevent them from neglecting anything in their busy schedule.

"The academy and the pier have already arranged for people to carry billboards to attract customers in the past two days." Just as he was talking, Lin Gui saw several scholars wearing Confucian shirts and robes coming over.

On the other side, there were also young students wearing the blue and white uniforms of Boyuan Academy walking towards this side curiously.

He immediately said excitedly: "Look!"

Xu Mengxiao said calmly, "Is their academy on vacation today?"

"No, that's why today is an auspicious day." Lin Gui said proudly, "Those scholars are scholars from nearby villages and towns, and they all have the reputation of being children."

Xu Mengxiao also saw a familiar figure, Mr. Fang, who had hooked up with Xu Ruyi last time.

At this time, his teeth had been repaired, and he was walking in the middle of the crowd. He was vaguely the leader of the scholars, and was being praised by the people on the left and right.

"That's Fang Jun'an. My aunt is the wife of the county government registrar, and she's studying in a school." Seeing her curiosity, Lin Gui introduced her quickly.

Xu Mengxiao suddenly had an idea, "Is he engaged to the daughter of Master Xie from the school?"

"Yes, how do you know? Very few people know about this."

Xu Mengxiao glanced sympathetically at Lu Hai, who was wielding a sword and preparing to perform not far away. Unexpectedly, this person was still his love rival.

A man of letters and a man of martial arts, it seems that Mr. Xie prefers men of letters, otherwise he would not have given his daughter to Fang Junan. Maybe apart from his status, this man is also very good in studies.

"Hey, Brother Fang, look, it's so cool here!" A scholar discovered the water wheel at the partition, which was slowly rotating, causing the water in the pool to flow continuously.

The commotion attracted many people to come forward and watch.

Looking under the waterwheel, several golden and bright red koi carps were slowly swimming among the lotus leaves. The irritability caused by the hot weather was somewhat relieved.

"This is a water irrigation truck used by many villages in Yunxi Town. It can irrigate crops and divert water from low places to high places." Fang Jun'an said.

Several scholars were actually from the village below, so they naturally knew about the waterwheel, but they still complimented him: "Brother Fang is indeed well-informed and considerate of the people's sentiments."

Fang Junan was very impressed. For a while, he saw many people looking at the waterwheel curiously, and their showoff became more obvious.

Xu Mengxiao saw that this man had become the commentator of the waterwheel, and he lost himself in the praise.

The out-of-town businessman who had taken a liking to Li Kee's water tanker came here to take a look at it because he saw someone holding a billboard near the pier with an enthusiastic attitude.

Unexpectedly, I saw the train in the restaurant. Looking at the center of the train, I saw the unique and conspicuous sign of "Lee Kee Train".

Coupled with the "first waterwheel" that Li Ying had vigorously promoted before, and now the exaggerated explanations by Fang Junan and others, this person suddenly had the feeling that Li Ji Waterwheel is the best, most popular and famous!

"Okay, let's go back to Yaoyu Village and talk to Li Ji immediately." He said to a boy beside him.

At this moment, a deafening sound of gongs and drums suddenly sounded outside, followed immediately by Lu Hai, who was wearing a black outfit and walked up holding a red tassel gun.
