Farming Little Husband Makes a Fortune

Chapter 60 Hand Waterwheel 【Part 1】

"I've always been right in seeing people, and I'm very optimistic about you, you will definitely be promising in the future.

How about this, it's almost early winter now, let's buy those fruit seedlings last time, they can resist frost, and you can buy other fruit seedlings in spring. "

He Jun thought that there is no way to build a greenhouse on the mountain, so he nodded and said, "It's ok, I will buy [-] of each of the six kinds of fruit tree seedlings."

"Okay, come on, let's come and help, carefully dig out these fruit seedlings, don't hurt their root system."

Because the number of fruit tree seedlings purchased by He Jun is a bit large, [-] trees of each of six kinds, that is [-] fruit seedlings.

Uncle Liu taught everyone how to dig out fruit saplings intact from the ground, and then he asked several people to dig apple saplings, orange saplings, pear saplings, etc. separately.

While digging, Tong Tao said, "I said, old man Liu, how tiring it must be for you to manage such a large vegetable garden and orchard by yourself. How can you do all this work by yourself? Why don't you invite a few more people to help?"

"I usually take care of it when I have nothing to do, and I won't be too tired. It's just that when the fruit is ripe, I need others to pick the fruit, and when I pick vegetables, I will hire a few short-term workers."

After everyone dug out ninety fruit tree seedlings, Mr. Liu carefully wrapped the root system of each fruit seedling with soil, and then wrapped it with a damp cloth.

He Jun calculated in his mind that the last time he came to buy fruit tree seedlings was [-] Wen per tree.

Today, if I bought ninety trees, it would cost 18 taels of silver, so He Jun took out 18 taels of silver and handed it to Uncle Liu.

Uncle Liu only charged 17 taels. He Jun knew that it was not easy to grow fruit saplings. It took a lot of time and effort, no more than growing vegetables. Now Uncle Liu received one tael less, which made He Jun feel very sorry.

"Uncle Liu, I feel very lucky to be able to buy such good vegetable seeds and fruit saplings from you, and you sell them cheaply, so you can take it for 18 taels of silver."

Uncle Liu smiled and waved his hands.

"It's fate for me to get to know you through Tong Tao. This is a discount I give you. Next time, I will be very happy to come and see me as an old man with Tong Tao."

Tong Tao: "Uncle Liu, I have gone to Ewan Village with He Jun to help him plant fruit trees. I will have less time to visit you next time. Come to Ewan Village if you have time."

"Okay, you guys work hard, and there will be a day of success in the future."

Everyone moved ninety fruit trees to the carriage and put them upright.

Although this carriage is old and its style is very simple, it has an advantage that it is big.

Even if Jing Wen's family can sit on it, it won't be too crowded.

Of course, in order not to press down on the fruit trees, it was more spacious except for Jing Wen driving in front, so He Jun and Tong Tao could only squeeze next to each other.

Jing Wen pulled the horse's rein: "Old man Liu, we are leaving, He Jun and Tong Tao, you two will be there soon after you feel wronged."

The carriage arrived at Ewan Village as fast as lightning.

He Jun was a little impatient.

"Jingwen, let's just pull it to Yuemingling Mountain to plant it. Although the roots of the tree are covered with soil, it's better to plant it earlier, and I feel more at ease."

Jing Wen: "Okay, let's go back and bring the tools first, and then call Xiao Rong and Yuan Ming to plant together on the way. Otherwise, just the few of us will be busy for a while."

He Jun is more thoughtful than Jing Wen. I was in a hurry just now, and I was going to go to Yueming Ridge. I even forgot the labor tools. It’s really funny to think about it. When the time comes, I will dig the hole with my hands!

When Jing Wen drove the carriage, passing by Xiao Rong's house and Yuan Ming's house, he called them to come along.

When the carriage arrived at his home, Jing Wen went to get a hoe, a shovel, and a bucket and loaded them into the carriage.

Looking back, I saw Xiao Rong and Yuan Ming walking over with a hoe on their shoulders.

He Jun waved to them: "Xiaorong and Yuanming come to the carriage together, we will go to Yueming Ridge to plant fruit trees."

So Jing Wen was driving in front, and the four big men in the back stood on the carriage because there were a lot of fruit trees on the seat.

When we arrived at Yueming Ridge, everyone started to work.

He Jun intentionally allocated fruit trees to areas, such as apple orchard, orange orchard, pear orchard, peach orchard and so on.

Then he also divided the work among several people, and there were five people including himself.

Each person planted a variety of fruit trees, and He Jun specifically explained that when transplanting fruit seedlings, the distance between each fruit seedling must be kept at about fifteen feet.

These people have been doing farm work for a long time, and they are very good at digging holes and planting trees. They were so busy that all ninety fruit trees were finally planted in the evening.

Of course, in the process of watering, Jingwen still fetches water for He Jun to wash his hands every time, and then hands them to water each fruit seedling.

He Jun thinks about watering with one bucket at a time. With so many vegetables and fruit trees, it is inconvenient to wash your hands so frequently, and it will arouse suspicion.

So Jun He thought of an idea.

"Jingwen, it's convenient to water the vegetable field right next to the pond, but the fruit trees are planted at a higher position on Yuemingling Mountain, and it's a little far away from the pond.

I want Jing Xing to make a hand-operated water wheel, and then make a few large buckets at the water wheel's end where the water is received.

As long as a handle is installed on the front of the hand-operated water truck, and the manpower shakes the handle, the water in the pond can be continuously sent into the big bucket, and then the water can be directly scooped in the big bucket on the mountain. Fruit trees are convenient.

This saves the time of running from the pond to the mountains, and most importantly, I wash my hands directly in the big bucket. "

After hearing this, Jing Wen felt that this idea was a good one, saving time and effort.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that He Jun's brain is too flexible.

He couldn't help but put his hands on He Jun's shoulders, with a gentle light in his eyes, and praised He Jun from the bottom of his heart.

"My family He Jun is really smart, in my opinion no one can compare."

He Jun was blushed by Jing Wen's direct gaze, and he caught Jing Wen's words in his ears... My family's He Jun.

This made He Jun happy, as sweet as eating honey.

... Does this mean that Jing Wen has recognized me, and that I already have a place in his heart?

He Jun began to wander around the world again, absent-minded.

Tong Tao's face was flushed and he was sweating profusely because of the physical work he had done.

He walked over and looked at the two people, one with a gentle smile on each other's shoulders, while the other stared affectionately.

Tong Tao really thinks it's funny and funny, why do these two people have a bit of you and me, so affectionate?

"Hey, what kind of drama are you two putting on here?"

The two were shocked by Tong Tao's loud voice, Qiqi took a step back, and smiled awkwardly at Tong Tao.

Jing Wen: "Everyone has worked hard today. The fruit trees have been planted. Let's go back now. Xiaorong and Yuanming will come to my house for dinner tonight."

Several people got into the carriage and went back to Ewan Village.

Back at Zhang's house, the women who were doing the work had already dispersed.

Xu Huizhi was preparing to make dinner when He Jun came over.

"Ma'am, you've been busy all day, let me do it.

There is also Tong Tao, my aunt knows him, I invited him to help us work together, and he will definitely live in our house in the future. "

Xu Huizhi knew that they had been busy all day, and planting fruit trees must be hard work, so she pushed He Jun out of the stove.

"You child, you guys have been tired all day, please sit down and drink some tea.

Tong Tao looks good to me, let him work and live in our house, let him live with Jing Xing for the time being.

Jing Xing often worked and was busy with his master, and never went home.

I just like how happy everyone is with He Lele, okay, okay, you go and have a rest.

He Jun, you are hindering the aunt's cooking, go to the meeting quickly.

Qin'er, Qin'er, come and help me. "

Qin'er stopped the embroidery in response, and came to the stove room to help.

When Tong Tao saw Qin'er immediately stood there blankly, he felt a little excited and began to feel embarrassed.

He Jun smiled, thinking to himself how the eloquent, bold and unrestrained Tong Tao would become so shy when it comes to children.

He Jun dragged the stunned Tong Tao to the hall to drink tea.

Xiao Rong'er ran in from outside the door smelling the smell of rice, and seeing that there were so many big brothers in the house, she rushed towards He Jun.

"Third brother, why are there so many big brothers here?"

He Jun carried him onto the stool at the dining table, and stuffed a piece of sweet potato pancake into his hand.

"Are you hungry? Eat quickly. Yes, there will be so many big brothers in the family who can play with you in the future. Isn't Xiao Rong'er happy?"

Xiao Rong'er took a bite of the sweet sweet potato pancake, happily chewing it.

"There are so many big brothers playing with me again, haha, I'm so happy."

Qin'er went back to her room a little bit shy because there were men at the dinner table.

Tong Tao looked left and right, and asked He Jun quietly when he didn't see Qin'er.

"Miss Qin, why don't you come out to eat?"

He Jun laughed and picked up the corn cob and stuffed it directly into Tong Tao's mouth.

"You eat your meal!"

Jing Xing also came back for dinner, so Jing Wen told Jing Xing that he wanted to make a waterwheel.

Jing Xing: "This water handcart is more difficult to make than furniture. First, you need to use wood to make the frame of the waterwheel, and cast iron for the waterwheel dustpan. It has a sprocket with an iron shaft and two curved handles, and water. Wheels and iron chains."

He Jun was stunned for a moment. He had seen the waterwheel before, and thought it was quite simple. He didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns in it. It seemed that he thought it was too easy.

Jing Wen glanced at He Jun, then turned to ask Jing Xing.

"Although it sounds a bit complicated, Jing Xing, can you do it?"

"I can do carpentry, but there are a lot of things that need to be made of iron, such as sprockets, etc., so I have to ask a blacksmith to do it together. The work is complicated and delicate, and it will take time."

Xiao Rong suddenly remembered that he once heard from his grandfather that the neighboring Zhoujia Village thought the original waterwheel was too small, so they replaced it with a bigger one, and the old one could be bought from the village.

"I heard from my grandfather that Zhoujia Village next door has built a new waterwheel, so you can buy the old waterwheel."

He Jun originally heard Jing Xing said that it was difficult to make, and it took a lot of time and procedures, etc., and he was a little worried that the waterwheel would be difficult to make.

Now suddenly hearing what Xiaorong said, he immediately became happy.
