Siheyuan: The opening earthquake of stealing and replacing pillars

The water problem was solved and the villagers were very happy. The old village chief called on everyone to pick up their shovels and start clearing the drainage ditches at the edge of the fields. These were reserved and had been used for irrigation in previous years, so they only needed to be dug a little.

The female students also joined in, perhaps because they saw the scenery in the fields, they chattered and laughed non-stop.

He Yuzhu also smiled when he received the signal. To be honest, the school asked him to be the team leader, which was quite stressful because he had never done farm work. He was okay at doing business, but as for going to the fields, haha, he had no idea where to start. Fortunately, there were people in the team who knew agricultural knowledge, otherwise he would definitely be embarrassed.

At noon, the villagers treated us to a meal. Although it was just some steamed buns and vegetable soup, everyone ate it with gusto.

He Yuzhu took advantage of this opportunity to go to the village winery with the old village chief. There were several large tiled houses with earthen walls and straw piled all around. The house was also very simple, especially the fermentation and cooking room, which was extremely dirty.

"Old village chief, can we make wine here?"

He Yuzhu couldn't believe how they could brew wine in such a simple workshop.

"Don't be fooled by the shabby place. But when it comes to brewing wine, we have a secret recipe passed down from our ancestors!" The old village chief smiled meaningfully.

Thinking about the Maotai girl stepping on the koji with her feet, He Yuzhu immediately felt relieved.

"No wonder the winery buys the wine you brew. That's why. Haha!"

He Yuzhu went in to take a look. Although the things inside were old, they were still usable.

"Uncle, what is the yield of wine you make from grain? How much wine can you get from one pound of grain?"

"If it's 50 degrees, it's about taels. Even though our yield is very low, the wine we brew is definitely fragrant!" said the old village chief proudly.

"It's really not much!" He Yuzhu silently calculated for a moment, then asked, "Can we make more this year?"

"I'm afraid it won't work this year. You don't know that the best time to make wine is spring and autumn, when the temperature is just right and the yield is high!" The old village chief thought He Yuzhu just wanted to drink, so he smiled and said, "I didn't expect you like wine too. I still have a few jars of old wine at home. I'll give them to you!"

"Actually, it's not that I want to drink it, but our factory will purchase it at the end of every year. I think since you can make wine, then I will buy it from your village, which will also boost the local economy, right?" He Dahuo started online.

The old village chief was fooled.

"It's rare that you have this kind of heart, thank you in advance, but it's too late to buy it this year, let's wait until next year, I will keep it for you next year!"

"Then let's make a deal. If there's not enough food, just tell me. I have someone up there to help me!"

The old village chief was delighted when he heard this, thinking, I have found a backer!

"Then I won't be polite with you. Come on, come to my house and I'll load those jars of wine on your car first. If it's not enough, there's more in the village. I can get a hundred or eighty kilograms with some effort!"

"Then I can't just take it for free, I have to pay, we are family now, please don't be polite to me!"

"Look at you, you're so polite. I don't know what to say!"

"Don't say anything. Our relationship is... By the way, uncle, do you know Mr. Luo?"

"Luo Qingxiang?"

"Yes, the old man is now the head of the security department of our school's cooperative. He is standing at Xiaoguan Station to say farewell!"

"Oh, then we are closer again. Let's not talk about anything else. Let's go to my house and have a couple of drinks so that you can taste the craftsmanship of our winery!"

"Then I'll bother you!"

"Look at you, you're being too polite again. It's a shame that we didn't meet earlier. When you need work in the future, just tell me. I don't have any other skills, but I have brute force that you can't use up!"

"Haha, you are still strong and healthy!"

In the afternoon, all the drainage ditches in the fields were cleared and the students were exhausted. He Yuzhu went back to the city and bought some apples as rewards, giving one to each person. Everyone happily took the bus back to school.

He Yuzhu walked last because he had something else to say. Someone had to be arranged to guard the machine at night, otherwise it would easily be lost.

The old village chief did not dare to be careless. After all, the northern suburbs were too remote. He personally led people to build a small shack by the Qing River and asked people to be on duty to patrol the water pipes. They were all public property. If they were lost, paying compensation would be a small matter. The main thing was that he could not afford to lose face!

When he returned home in the evening, Zhu Lin was hiding in the quilt reading a book. The room was a little cold. He Yuzhu touched the radiator and found it was cold.

"The stove is out?"

Zhu Lin chuckled and said, "I forgot to close the damper, and when I came back I tried to light it twice but it didn't light up!"

The coal briquettes burned in the boiler modified by He Yuzhu are twice as large as usual; those that are too small will not be wasted.

"I'll go check. By the way, have you eaten?"

"I didn't have dinner~"

Zhu Lin pretended to be aggrieved, which made He Yuzhu speechless.

"You, you won't eat when the stove goes out? You can go out and buy food, but really, won't you feel bad if the child starves?"

"Of course I feel bad, but the food out there isn't as delicious as yours. Besides, the kids like your food, too!"

"..."

The excuse was so strong that I was powerless to refute it.
