Chapter 193 Test Run Successfully
Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin went into the warehouse and sorted out the things they would need for tomorrow, and piled them together for tomorrow's use.
Now the number of toothbrushes is increasing by thousands every day, plus the toothpaste bottles, the warehouse is really packed.
However, looking at the packed warehouse, the two still felt a sense of accomplishment. It was a great feeling to be getting closer and closer to the goal.
After tidying up the warehouse, the two went to Carpenter Li's house again to see if there were any problems with the most important part.
Before the two arrived, they met their family on the way.
What the family carried on their backs and in their arms were the things from their mill.
Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin hurried forward and took the things from Mrs. Li and Wang Meixiang respectively.
"If you ask me, you two are the ones who are really considerate. You knew that our things were ready and you were worried that we would be tired, so you came to pick us up halfway." Sister Li joked with the two of them as she handed over the things in her hands.
"That's not true. There is no one in Old Huaiqing who is more considerate than us sisters." Zheng Yuan also echoed what Sister Li said.
"I've never seen anyone brag about themselves like this. I think you two are the most shameless in Old Huaiqing."
"It's good to be thick-skinned. If you are thick-skinned, you will get enough to eat. Haha."
......
The group walked towards the mill, talking and laughing.
Although the two of them had just been here, the height of the wall had been fully solidified in just a short while.
At this time, only Grandpa Chen and three other people were left at the mill, working on the wall plastering. After asking Grandpa Chen, I learned that the others had followed Chen Jiadong up the mountain to move the beams.
When they went up the mountain to cut wood that day, they had already cut the wood for the house beams, so today they just had to go and carry them.
It is true that there is strength in numbers. Although the house is not big, the speed is indeed fast.
I asked Mr. Chen if the beams could be put up tomorrow, and Mr. Chen touched the wall.
"As long as it doesn't rain tonight, there will be absolutely no problem putting up the beams tomorrow, so don't worry."
The two looked up at the sky. There was not a single cloud in the sky, so they thought there was no problem.
This is truly a miracle created in three days, thanks to the hard work of Mr. Chen and his son.
Now that we know there is no problem with the house, the next thing is to combine the waterwheel, mill and water-pestle.
Carpenter Li had already carried his things in and started to demonstrate what he was doing by picking up one thing at a time.
After all, the two of them participated in the design together, so they can basically understand what is what and where it should be placed.
There was no need for so many people here, so Mrs. Li took Wang Meixiang home, leaving the father and son here to help.
It is worthy of being made by Carpenter Li himself, it is very delicately made and the size is just right.
In addition, they all had sufficient knowledge of the structure, so the installation was very fast, and the upper structure was completely installed in less than an hour.
The next step is to install the water truck below.
Grandpa Chen and his team built a foundation with stones, and the side of the foundation close to the water was sealed tightly with wooden beams. This way the foundation would be very stable, and when the water was diverted it would not affect the foundation.
There is a lot of space below, and there is no problem for four people to stand together.
The waterwheel is already an integrated whole, and it only needs to be supported and firmly connected to the upper structure.
The two of them assisted in passing the things, and Li Tiantong steadyed Carpenter Li, and it was installed in a short while.
Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin looked at the fully formed structure and could not contain their excitement. They quickly climbed up and opened the sewer to see how it worked.
When Grandpa Chen and Chen Jiadong were laying the foundation, they had already planned the sewer completely. The outlet of the sewer is located on a platform two or three meters above the mill.
As long as the blocking stones and mud are dug out, the water will flow down the narrow drainage channel. In addition, the bottom of the mill is still one or two meters away from the river, and the height difference is enough to generate enough kinetic energy.
Seeing the two people climbing up, Grandpa Chen and the other two who were working also stood over. This mill also had their contribution, and now it was almost finished, so how could they not be excited?
Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin moved away the large rocks that were blocking the drain and cleared away all the mud that was blocking the side. In an instant, the water rushed down without any obstruction.
The height difference of four or five meters and the narrow waterway meant that the water had already generated considerable kinetic energy when it reached the bottom of the mill. This kinetic energy impacted the waterwheel, causing it to whirr.
At the same time, a creaking sound was heard from the mill. Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin ran down and quickly entered the mill, and others followed suit.
I saw the waterwheel below driving the sheath shaft, and the sheath shaft transferred the kinetic energy to the water-penetrating machine and the stone mill. In this way, the three water-penetrating machines and the stone mill all turned at the same time, and the speed was not slow.
"It's done! It's done!"
Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin hugged each other. Their feelings at that moment were really indescribable. They could only hug each other and jump up and down to express their excitement.
Carpenter Li and his sons and Mr. Chen and his companions were also very excited. After all, they had put a lot of effort into this thing, and they had started with nothing, but now it was fully formed and ready to use.
The sense of accomplishment of creating something from nothing with your own hands is incomparable to anything else.
Everyone stared at it for a long time, and when they felt they had seen enough, Li Tiantong climbed up again and blocked the drain.
A huge stone fell to the ground, and both of them felt a lot more relieved.
Carpenter Li heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no problem. He said goodbye to them and took his son back without mentioning the payment.
Old Master Chen wanted to take them to smoothen the wall again. Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin said goodbye and went home.
Thinking of the money from Carpenter Li, the two took the money and went to his house first. Although the man was kind and trusted them, they didn't want to drag it out, so they settled the debt as soon as they remembered.
When I arrived at Carpenter Li's house, I saw the father and son lying in rocking chairs in the yard, enjoying the sunset with a very comfortable look on their faces, while Sister Li and her mother-in-law must be busy in the kitchen.
The air was filled with the faint aroma of rice.
Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin were now familiar with each other, so they didn't knock on the door and just pushed it open and went in.
The father and son were startled, opened their eyes suddenly, saw that the two were a little nervous, and stood up immediately.
"Aunt, is there something wrong with the mill?" Li Tianbi was more nervous than his father.
Sister Li was also attracted by the sound and looked at the two of them with some concern.
"It's fine. How could there be any problem with Brother Li's craftsmanship? Just now you two turned around and left without paying. We brought it to you."
"Oh! You scared me too, kid, you're so jumpy." Sister Li rolled her eyes at Li Tiantong.
"You two are the same. You are so eager to send it to us. Are you afraid that we will forget it? We are not related at all. You can just give it to us when we meet again."
Carpenter Li and his family really didn't expect to be paid immediately after the completion of the work. They earned one tael and five silver coins in these three days. Although it was a bit troublesome, it was not such a cheap thing in the past.
"You trust us, so we can't keep dragging it out. Come, sister-in-law, keep it." Zheng Yuan walked forward, took out the silver and put it in Sister-in-law Li's hand.
"How can this be so embarrassing."
Although she said this, Mrs. Li was so happy holding the silver that she couldn't hide her happiness at all.
Yes, how can the joy of making money be hidden?
Both of them were infected by her expression and started to laugh foolishly. They hoped that the toothbrush and toothpaste business would be able to bring them this kind of happiness in the future.
