Chapter 078 The Big Mill
"I'm thinking about it blindly!" Wen Xu looked at the teacher's teacher who opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Don't say that this thing is not worth a thousand yuan, even if it is worth a thousand yuan, I won't buy it. I said that it will cost up to three hundred yuan. If you don't sell it, I will go directly to Dawangzhuang and Litang Village. You can buy a stone mill for 100 yuan! I can find someone to transport it home for me to do it or not!"
As soon as Wen Xu entered the village office and arrived at Shi Shangzhen's office, he saw this little girl sitting face to face with her fourth brother Wen Shijie, who seemed quite busy.
The office environment of Wenjia Village is really average. Let’s say this two words: simple!
The white and gray painted walls of more than ten years old are a little yellow. As soon as you enter the door, there are about ten large and small pennants hanging on the wall of your left hand. What kind of civilized units and what is the fastest progress. Anyway, no useful one is all empty! A pennant with a spiritual level.
Two old-fashioned office desks were placed face to face against the wall. The paint on the table was also the same as the old black and red, and it was as dirt as it was. White putty could be seen on the edges and corners of the table. There were two sides of glass pressed on the table, and some photos were sandwiched in the glass. In short, it was very contemporary.
There is a two-meter-long wooden chair next to the other wall of the office. Many people under the age of 20 have never seen this guy. If you sit in summer for a long time, there will be a row of marks on your thighs. The only thing you took in the office was the four file cabinets facing the door, metal and dusty things.
Sitting in such a broken office, Shi Shangzhen actually opened a big mouth to Wen Xu, and a broken grinding plate forced Wen Xu to be one thousand yuan!
"Why is such a big thing not worth a thousand dollars?" Shi Shang said the truth, but he was still feeling guilty and looked at Wen Shijie with his eyes.
Wen Shijie smiled and shook his head.
"Eight hundred! You can't lower it anymore. If it's low, I can't explain it to the villagers' committee!" Shi Shangzhen saw that he reduced another 300 yuan.
Wen Xu doesn't like this, it seems like there is a village committee! He has money but can't be slaughtered by others. Although Shi Shang really thinks about the village, he looks like a qualified village chief in this matter, but the price is too outrageous.
"Forget it, you can keep it yourself. I'd better go to another village to buy it!" Wen Xu waved his hand and left the office.
When Shi Shangzhen saw Wen Xu walking out of the door, he immediately asked Wen Shijie: "Is such a large stone not worth a thousand yuan?"
"Director, that's not marble or grinding stone. Do you know what grinding is for? In the past, it only relies on it for grinding noodles, but now who uses it? They all use machines, and there are still people who want it. Who wants it for such a big one, and it takes up space when it is placed!" Wen Shijie said.
Shi Shang really thought about it. If he could only do this, it would be useless now, so he asked, "Is there any other village?"
"I used to have this thing, but now I really don't know it anymore, but it's really not difficult to find it!" Wen Shijie said.
Hearing Wen Shijie say this, Shi Shangzhen smiled and ran out again: "Wen Xu! You can talk about the price again, why leave!"
Wen Xu was amused by her: "If you don't sell it, I'll leave if you don't sell it. What's there to talk about? There is only two stone mills that no one takes up only the space, and there is no shelf. If you want a pole, you have to talk about it if you want a pole!"
"Okay, okay, three hundred is three hundred. Go to Accountant Wen to hand over the money, and then ask him to write a receipt for you to get it!" Shi Shangzhen stopped talking now and sold the useless assets in the village to Wen Xu.
Wen Xu had to turn back, and while walking, he muttered: So much food is gone, it’s too much to hold on!
"What are you saying?" Hearing Wen Xu muttered, but he didn't hear what Wen Xu said clearly. However, Shi Shangzhen was not stupid and could guess that it was not a good thing even if he guessed, so he asked.
"Nothing! The weather is so good today!" Wen Xu said as he walked sideways before Shi Shangzhen, went to the Fourth Brother's table, took out three hundred dollars from his pocket and put it on the table.
Wen Shijie opened the drawer, took out the receipt book and opened a receipt for Wen Xu for a 300 yuan deposit. He thorned it off, and put the 300 yuan into his drawer with a smile.
"You guys are so happy to receive 300 yuan!" Wen Xu asked with the receipt, looking at the fourth brother and Shi Shangzhen.
Wen Shijie said: "The money in the village is not much, and it is almost up to the relief of the countryside. No matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat!"
"The money for renting the land I paid was used up so quickly?" Wen Xu asked.
"Aren't we put them in the bridge repair fund?" Shi Shangzhen said: "It's just a little bit too far away. Now I hope that our tea trees can become famous as soon as possible, so that we can borrow money from the bank. Once we build several bridges, our village's travel will be greatly facilitated..."
"Stop, I'm here to move and grind, not to listen to you saying this." Wen Xu immediately smiled and slipped out of the door when he heard that this person was about to look forward to his blueprint.
When I arrived at the office next to me, I had not spoken to the village committee member in the village, but I stood up with a smile: "Uncle Xu, come with me to get the mill." As I said that, I stood up with the key in my hand.
Just like that, Wen Xu called his nephews to get the millstone out of the warehouse of the village office, and found a supporting animal shelf. Although it was dilapidated, it could still be used after repairing it.
The big stone mill is not small. The millstone is about 80 cm in diameter, more than 30 cm thick, and the base is even larger, with 120 cm and 15 cm thick head. Now this big stone mill is hard to find. What's even more rare is that the stripes of the stone mill are clear enough. It can be called up after installing the necessary wooden components. Of course, it is unlikely that people want to make this guy for a long time. Even if it is possible, Wen Xu will not be in the mood to use himself as a livestock. Buying livestock is a must.
After the hard grinding was done, it would take a tricycle to get home. A group of people rolled the stone grinding together and transported it to Wenxu's courtyard entrance in two times.
"Uncle, if you use livestock, I advise you not to put the millstone in the yard. That thing is delicious!" Wen Guangsheng said to Wen Xu while wiping the sweat on his forehead.
Afraid that Wen Xu thought too much, Wen Guangsheng quickly explained: "Uncle, I'm not afraid of hard work, I'm afraid that you are not used to the smell of animal scattering in the yard!"
"Well, this makes sense!"
When Wen Xu heard this, he raised a finger and felt that what he said made sense. There was a beast in his yard that was grinding? The animal was not human, so it naturally wanted to pull it when it wanted to pull it, and it was sprinkled when it wanted to sprinkle it? If the smell in the yard was refreshed for a long time, it would be strange!
Since it cannot be placed in the yard, Wen Xu had to think about where to put such a large millstone to be placed.
"Uncle, do you think this is OK? Let's put the millstone over there." Wen Guangping pointed to the small wasteland of Xiaoshiban Bridge: "The terrain is lower there, no matter what the wind is, the smell will not be transmitted to your yard, and there are also small forests around. If you put the millstone here, buy some bricks and we will bring you a simple small mill. If you are willing to spend money, we can make all the reinforced concrete for you."
Wen Xu felt that the eldest nephew was right, and it was more appropriate to place the millstone there, so he nodded and said, "Okay, transport these things first, wait for me to go to the brickyard in the town tomorrow to drag the bricks. By the way, I have to go to the town to invite Mr. Liu San to come over and clean up the things on the millstone."
The three brothers nodded after hearing Wen Xu's words and said, "Yes, this thing doesn't look simple. A few wooden sticks are pinned and grinded on the back of the animals. If someone who doesn't know how to be a ignorant of the profession can exhaust the animals, it is probably only Mr. Liu San in the town who can do this now. He used to be famous for the third old man, but Mr. Xu and the others are no longer here."
"In the future, I want to find someone who can play with these things, and there will probably be fewer and fewer people! If Mr. Liu hadn't changed his career and started playing with the small stone mill, he would probably have stopped doing this now."
The three of them said this a bit sad. Many old rural jobs have lost their inheritance due to the development of the times and the progress of science and technology. For example, tractors, buffaloes, scalpers and other things are no longer useful, and rural areas are gradually less raising them. It is better in the mountains. When it comes to the plains outside, who still raises that thing now? Tractors are very powerful and don’t need to be served in the sky. They are much more useful than livestock.
Now Wen Xu is so distressed that she relies on the space and wants to get a livestock to come and crush her white flour or something. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is just full and full. If you get a bag of white flour for one or two yuan, you can use a grinder to crush it with a grinder. If you are not sick, why?
"Okay, don't be sad. Get these two guys over for me. I'll go and pull some bricks tomorrow. You three can help me build a suitable mill. What's the salary for us at 150 a day? I'll keep eating as usual," said Wen Xu.
"There is not much work, so how can we still charge money!"
"That's it, stop talking, I'm not a landlord's old fortune when working!"
When the three of them heard this, they nodded and agreed, "Okay, do what you said!"
Just like that, Wen Guangsheng and the other three brought the millstone into the open space and placed it first.
After transporting the millstone back, Wen Xu returned to his yard. When he opened the door, he saw that the scum had come back. He almost stuck his head into the food bowl and chewed the food in the basin. This virtue of Sperm is not the first time Wen Xu has seen this.
Let me put it this way, when this guy is at the point of eating, he becomes the inspector of the whole village. Almost every family goes through it and figures out what other people eat. Then he is very reluctant to go back to the yard and eats the "leftover rice" in the basin.
