Time always passes very quickly when you are busy.
Before we knew it, it was late August.
With the efforts of dozens of carpenters, all the houses in Majiazhuang have been repaired.
Although it still looks like a simple bamboo house, the roof and surroundings are covered with dense thatch, which can protect it from wind and rain.
The restaurant's kitchen has been built under the continuous work of Ma Changshou and his people. Now it is time to wait for the tables and chairs to be ready before it can be opened.
Over there at the blacksmith shop.
Every five days a batch of well-drilling tools are provided to the Zhenguan well-drilling team, and a lot of money flows into Majiazhuang.
The blacksmith shop is currently the most profitable department. These days, the old man walks with his head raised and his nostrils turned upward.
During this period, Wang Jian asked Lao Tietou to help him make papermaking and drying equipment.
It took a lot of good wine to get things done.
"Old Tietou, this old boy, is getting more and more difficult to deal with now."
Every time he walked out of the blacksmith shop, Wang Jian smiled helplessly.
Old Tietou was kind to everyone else, but if he saw him, he would be caught and taken advantage of to death.
In the words of Lao Tietou.
"You are such an iron rooster, you are so picky, why do you leave so much money to lay eggs at home?"
I have to say that the current Majiazhuang is very rich.
Wang Jian was shocked when he saw the account book registered by Han Xuelian.
The total amount of silver in Majiazhuang now exceeds 450,000 yuan.
Moreover, at the blacksmith shop, hundreds of coins come in every once in a while.
This does not include the income of the well drilling team.
The brick kiln has also encountered a bottleneck recently.
The fired bricks are always not hard enough and break when touched.
Ma Changshou approached Wang Jian many times for this purpose and asked him to make suggestions.
Wang Jian also has a big head, and he doesn’t know how to bake bricks at all.
In the end, he couldn't stand Ma Changshou's constant abuse, so Wang Jian could only give some random suggestions.
"Is the heat not high enough? You can ask Lao Tietou to get some coal to try."
This sentence suddenly opened up Ma Changshou's thinking.
As expected, the hardness of the bricks fired in the next kiln increased a lot.
...
By the end of August, instead of getting cooler, the weather has become even hotter.
Even the breath in the air is a bit burning.
In the evening.
The clouds on the horizon appear carmine red as if boiled in water, delicate and gorgeous.
"The sunset is carmine red, there is wind even without rain."
Faced with such abnormal weather, Wang Jian urgently called all the people in charge.
Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected.
Especially for the breeding industry that Han Xuelian is responsible for, if there is a heavy rain, the losses will be immeasurable.
"Time is running out now, so I'll keep my story short."
"Uncle Changshou, could you please bring some people to check the pig pens, chicken coops, and duck coops? It's best to reinforce them."
/p>
In the conference room in Majiazhuang, Wang Jian looked quite solemn.
Heavy rains have the greatest impact on the breeding and planting industries. Wang Jian immediately thought about how to prevent it.
"Okay, let's go now."
Ma Changshou and Han Xuelian responded, and they hurriedly left the conference room.
The weather is so dry and hot that it doesn’t even look like rain.
However, Wang Jian said that it might rain heavily in the next two days, and they chose to believe it without hesitation.
Wang Jian turned to look at Uncle Fu again and asked about Majiazhuang's reserve of ingredients.
"Uncle Fu, how many days do we have enough food for us?"
"Only enough for tomorrow."
"Not enough, we must at least stock up on enough food." Three days’ worth.”
“I’m sending people to purchase now.”
“Well, everyone must be back before dark.”
"Okay."
This chapter is not finished, click on the next page to continue reading.
Fu Bo also left the conference room in a hurry.
It is already evening, and it will be dark in less than an hour.
Time was running out, and he had no choice but to send everyone out.
Wang Jian then made arrangements.
"Third Master, the brick factory will stop working first and everyone will withdraw."
"Old Tietou, it depends on the situation. If it rains too much, you can also take a few rests." Damn it."
"Master Chen, please move back to Master San's house tonight. The papermaking experimental base can't stop the heavy rain."
"..."
Following Wang Jian's arrangements, Majiazhuang is like a huge machine, with all parts operating in an orderly manner.
"Brother Hu, Third Brother, could you please go to the county seat and tell Magistrate Ma that there may be heavy rains in the next two days and ask him to make arrangements in advance."
Wang Jian did not forget to remind Ma Zhou.
"Let's go there now."
Xu Hu and Xue Rengui went out and rode away on fast horses.
"Huh."
Wang Jian exhaled heavily and walked to the window sill with his hands behind his back.
The sky is redIn the clouds, there are large and thick dark clouds.
The sun was blocked by clouds, and only a red corner could be seen occasionally.
After making arrangements, Wang Jian went to the private school again and found the old gentleman who was in class.
"Master Guo, there may be heavy rain in the past two days. There will be no classes tomorrow and the next few days. Let's give the children a holiday."
"Okay."
The old gentleman looked at Wang Jian with approval, then nodded and walked into the classroom with a straight face.
Teacher Guo used to teach in the county. He was a wise teacher appointed by the government and received royal food.
Wang Jian was once one of his hundred or ten students, but he was at the bottom of the group in terms of academic attainments.
He once felt ashamed because he taught Wang Jian and other students.
What he never expected was.
This ignorant student suddenly led a whole village to become rich.
Through the hands of the new county magistrate, he was hired with a high salary.
Not to mention, receiving a consistent salary every month, including food and accommodation, is indeed more comfortable than earning a few hundred cash a month on royal rations.
Now Wang Jian has become his favorite disciple.
"Children, we will learn here today. We will have a few days off tomorrow."
"Everyone, please stay in the house and don't run around, okay?"
p>
As soon as Master Guo finished speaking, the children below burst out in exclamation.
"Yeah!"
"Great!"
These little carrot heads shouted excitedly.
"Goodbye Master Guo."
After politely greeting Master Guo, they scrambled to squeeze out through the front and back doors.
"Wow, it's so beautiful."
"It's so beautiful. I have never seen such beautiful clouds."
This group of people ran outside The little carrot heads stood there one after another, raising their heads and looking at the clouds on the horizon.
They gathered together in small groups, pointing to the clouds on the horizon, and uttering praises from time to time.
"Brother."
Yaodan pulled a little girl with pigtails on her head and walked out of the back door.
Seeing Wang Jian standing at the door, Yaodan grinned and shouted obediently.
His two front teeth have fallen out and have not yet grown back, which looks a bit funny.
"Brother Yaodan, look, there are dragonflies!"
"There are so many dragonflies!"
The little girl saw the dragonflies flying in the low sky and was excited jumped up.
Yaodan grabbed his pants, grinned and shouted, "Sister Xiaohua, I'll catch a dragonfly for you."
"Thank you, brother Yaodan."
Seeing Yaodan trying his best to chase the dragonfly, Xiaohuale clapped his hands and jumped on the spot.
"Yaodan, this kid is really a little bitch."
Wang Jian looked at Yaodan who was performing hard and laughed and cursed in a low voice.
