Chapter 167 How the Brain Grows

The next day, when the children got up, the two of them got up too.

After sending the children away, the two took out the blueprint and studied it for a while. They thought that it was still early in the morning and their minds were clear, so it was hard to say whether they could come up with any solution.

The fact was that the two of them had already thought of everything they could think of, and they just stared at the drawings but couldn't come up with anything, so they had to give up and go into the kitchen to start making breakfast.

After breakfast, they gave the key to Old Lady Chen, and the two of them took Master Jiang and Jiang Shui to Carpenter Li with the blueprints. The other children tidied up at home and released the ducks as needed.

Along the way, the two asked Jiang Shui if there was anything unusual last night. Jiang Shui shook his head and said no, it was very quiet last night.

Thinking that they had been frightened by Jiang Feng the day before, they were still frightened, so they did not ask any more questions.

When they arrived, they happened to see the family having dinner.

"Sister, you are here? Come in and have dinner!" Sister Li came out with a bowl of rice and opened the door.

"No, no, we just put down the bowls, you guys eat, we'll wait in the yard for a while."

"Come and try your sister-in-law's cooking." Carpenter Li also came out from the kitchen.

"Really, no need. We just finished eating and the food is just reaching our throats."

"Okay, sit here for a while, we'll come after dinner."

Seeing that the few people were not coming, they stopped forcing them and took their bowls back to the kitchen, finished their meal quickly, put down their bowls and chopsticks, and walked out.

"Sister, are you going to make something again today?" Sister Li brought a stool and sat next to the four people.

"Sure enough, it's my sister-in-law who knows us well. The worms in her stomach are just like that. As soon as we came, you knew we had something to trouble you again."

"Bah! You are the worms in your stomach." Sister Li smiled and spat at the two of them. "Our family is far away from home. You are not here to make things. Are you here to brag to me?"

"That's not possible. Sister-in-law is good at bragging and we are willing to listen. However, we really have something to ask Brother Li today." Duan Minmin smiled and took out the drawings in her arms.

"What is it?" Upon hearing something was happening, Carpenter Li squeezed forward.

Duan Minmin unfolded the drawing in her hand and showed it to Carpenter Li.

Carpenter Li held one side of the drawing and looked at the items on it carefully. Li Tiantong also came forward.

He watched carefully, and the others did not dare to disturb him, so they waited silently by the side.

After a long time, Carpenter Li put down the drawings.

"Girl, is this a mill?" Carpenter Li asked tentatively.

"That's right. We thought that Brother Li is knowledgeable and can definitely solve our doubts, so we came to trouble Brother Li."

"You say you are knowledgeable, but your picture is really exquisite. I didn't realize it at first, until I saw this, then I realized it." Carpenter Li pointed to a sheath axis in the picture.

The two of them looked carefully and found that it was indeed the most important place. It seemed that they had come to the right place today.

"Brother Li has a good eye. To be honest, we want to build a mill and water mill on the Niulan River. But we don't have enough ideas. After two days of research, we still feel that we haven't figured out the trick. That's why we came to you."

Carpenter Li scratched his head in embarrassment. "It was also a fluke. There is no need for drawings to make things in this village. I only saw drawings when I went to Kunzhou to help a family make furniture. I thought it was very novel at the time. It took a long time for the master craftsman to teach me some tricks."

"But I see that their drawings are not as detailed as yours. Could it be that you have also learned something specially?" Carpenter Li picked up the drawings again and looked at them carefully, marveling at them.

"No, the farthest place I've been to in my life is Yongding County. Where can I learn this stuff? But I just figured it out on my own when I needed it."

In fact, Duan Minmin not only studied it, but also made a living from it, but naturally the two of them would not talk about this.

"Tell me, what's wrong with your brains? You can think of things that we can't think of."

Sister Li stared at the top of their heads, as if she wanted to peek into the structure inside. If their heads could be opened, their brains would probably be exposed by now. The two of them touched their heads unconsciously and felt a chill on their heads.

"It still looks like pig brains, a white mass, but it's possible that ours is bigger, so it's hard to say."

The two of them laughed and everyone else laughed too, without dwelling on how they came up with these ideas.

Since Carpenter Li can see some clues, there is hope that he can come up with more details to improve it.

Carpenter Li simply asked Li Tiantong to move the table in the main room and put it in the yard. Several people gathered around it and started discussing it.

It's like brainstorming. With the participation of Carpenter Li and his family, many new ideas were injected. Some of the blocked areas were cleared up immediately. Even if there are still some unclear points, so many people can come to a conclusion after discussing for a while.

What's more important is that Carpenter Li is a professional carpenter and he has a ruler at home that can measure the distance, so he can modify the previous sketch according to the proportion.

A few people were making some modifications on the drawing. The sun was rising to the zenith and the light in the yard was really dazzling. It was too hot to sit under the scorching sunlight, so they moved the table back to the main room.

Thinking that the children who went out to sell ice jelly would be back soon, Zheng Yuan went home first to prepare lunch, and asked Carpenter Li and his family to come over with them for lunch later.

Mrs. Li said she didn't want to go, but the two did not give them a chance to refuse. They just said that if they didn't come later, Jiang Shui would carry them over. The whole family agreed with a smile.

Zheng Yuan went home with Sanni and Xing'er and quickly prepared lunch. It was still cold noodles and ice jelly, which she felt a little tired of. Thinking that the children would go to the market the day after tomorrow, she asked them to bring back some buckwheat noodles to try cold noodles.

The food had just been served when the kids selling ice jelly came into the yard carrying buckets. Sizhu was the first to rush up to greet them, chattering about what had happened today.

Seeing the children's smiling faces, Zheng Yuan felt relieved. It seemed that everything was going well. However, she still asked about the situation today. Only after listening to the children's stories did she feel completely relieved.

Today, the five of them brought three large buckets of ice jelly and sold them for 915 coins. Mei'er, who was in charge of collecting the money, handed the money basket to Zheng Yuan.

Zheng Yuan took a large bag of copper coins and gave the children full affirmation. These children are becoming more and more reliable.

After collecting the money, Duan Minmin and the others had not come yet, so Zheng Yuan instructed Sizhu to call them over.

After a while, they heard a noisy sound from far away. After listening carefully, they heard that several people were still discussing the problems they had just encountered. Zheng Yuan sighed, if the two of them had such a spirit of learning, they would have to go to graduate school.

After washing their hands, everyone sat down, and Zheng Yuan served them all jelly. The children were already used to it, but it was the first time for Carpenter Li's family to eat it. They couldn't help but exclaimed as soon as they took a bite, especially Sister Li.

"I finally understand why these two in my family looked down on our meals after they went back home. It turns out you eat so well. Sister, what is this called? Why is it so delicious?" Sister Li held the bowl with an incredible look on her face.

"Sister-in-law, it's delicious, just eat more. It's enough! If you want to eat more in the future, you can come to our place. Just because you said it's delicious, we will never let you go hungry."

"That's great, I found a place to eat for free, you guys can go there by yourselves!"

Sister Li looked like she had a plan for the rest of her life, which made everyone at both tables laugh.
