Chapter 82 Sand mixed with rice

In the evening, Ye Anyian told Jiang Zhu about Feng Mingxu.

　　Jiang Zhu frowned when he mentioned that Feng Mingxu wanted to see the finished Rubik's Cube made by Ye Anian.

　　"Didn't you send it to me?"

　　Ye Anyian: "He just takes a look to decide how much to order."

　　"Okay," Jiang Zhu reluctantly agreed, "then tell him to go to Minfeng Street to find me tomorrow."

　　Ye Anyian nodded: "I've already told him."

　　Jiang Zhu would go to town tomorrow, so the two went to bed early.

　　After extinguishing the candlestick on the Kang table, the room fell into silence.

　　Ye Annian found a comfortable position and buried his head in Jiang Zhu's arms.

　　He likes to smell the faint medicinal fragrance on Jiang Zhu's body, which can make him fall asleep quickly.

　　Early the next morning, Jiang Zhu left before dawn.

　　When Ye Anyian woke up, it was already dark outside, but the two children were still asleep.

　　He put on his clothes and pushed out the door. There were still sparks buried in the stove in the main room. When he lifted the lid of the pot, Jiang Zhu had left food for them in the pot.

　　There are three bowls of egg custard and six small sugar packets.

　　After Ye Anyian fetched water and washed up, he placed a low table in the main room and brought out the meal.

　　Not long after, Fu Zai and Ding Qiu got up.

　　The three of them finished the morning meal together. The two children each took a sugar packet in their hands and left in a hurry.

　　Ye Anyian knew that they were eager to see the kitten, so he didn't tell them. He just told them to pay attention to safety and come back early.

　　Maybe he got his consent yesterday and the copper coins wouldn't come to grind him today. When he saw Fu Zai and Ding Qiu going out, he followed them straight away.

　　After a while, he was the only angry creature left in the house.

　　Ah, no, there are snow dumplings and sesame balls.

　　Ye Annian picked some grass from the bamboo basket that Fuzai and the others carried back yesterday, and walked to the rabbit cage in the yard to feed the two little rabbits.

　　Snow dumplings and sesame balls have grown twice as big as when they first arrived, and they are round, chubby and very cute.

　　While they were eating grass, Ye Anian took the opportunity to masturbate.

　　After feeding the rabbit, he got up and went to Jiang Zhu's medicine house.

　　Since you plan to make a wooden box that can be folded and pushed and pulled, you must draw a structural diagram.

　　He pulled out a blank piece of paper from Jiang Zhu's desk and began to sharpen his ink and brush.

　　After many considerations, he decided on the size of the box, which was three feet long, one and a half feet wide, and one foot high. It was based on the size of a modern twenty-eight-inch suitcase, and four freely turning wheels were installed at the bottom. .

　　The inner structure is different from that of the suitcase. He designed an opening in the upper part of the box, with layers of foldable wooden boards inside, evenly dividing the inside of the box into ten layers.

　　These wooden boards are connected layer by layer with wooden frames, so that as long as the upper part of the box is opened and the top layer is pulled by hand, the wooden boards inside can be pulled out layer by layer.

　　But it was impossible to pull out all ten layers. Ye Anyian thought about it and initially decided that four layers could be pulled out and used for display when leaving the stall.

　　The remaining six layers hidden in the box are naturally used for storage.

　　In this case, it would be inconvenient to access only the top opening, so he added a secret door at the back. Then he could directly open the secret door and get the inventory inside.

　　After drawing the general structural outline, Ye Annian carefully considered the buckles at each connection to ensure that the box was strong and stable.

　　After finishing the design, he saw that it was still early and the two children hadn't come back yet. He couldn't sit still. He closed the courtyard door and walked towards Carpenter Ge's house, intending to see if there was any suitable wood. Set it down.

　　Carpenter Ge happened to be at home today.

　　There are a lot of wood scattered in the courtyard of the Ge family. Carpenter Ge is busy building a wooden table among the piles of wood.

　　Seeing Ye Anyian, he stopped what he was doing and said, "Have you run out of wood again?"

　　"It just so happens that I have a lot of leftover materials from making this table. They're made of poplar wood. If you can use them, take them."

　　"No scraps this time," Ye Annian replied, "Brother Ge, I want to make a wooden box myself. Let's see if you have suitable wood and decide first."

　　Carpenter Ge put down the plane in his hand, straightened up and pointed to a corner of the yard to Ye Anyian: "I haven't had time to clean up the newly cut pine trees that I went up to the mountain a few days ago."

　　"If you think it can be used, wait for me to clean it up in a few days, and then you and Dr. Jiang can come and get it." Ge Carpenter said.

　　In the corner were piled several neatly cut pieces of pine wood, all with bark still attached. They had obviously been pulled back and piled there.

　　Pine wood has clear texture, uniform color and high wood density. It is medium quality and relatively durable wood.

　　Ye Annian guessed that Carpenter Ge must have taken over the job of cutting down these pine trees. If he gave some more to himself, he didn't know if it would be enough.

　　He said, "The box I want to make is about three or four feet long and will use a lot of wood. If you need it urgently, Brother Ge, I'll hurry up and come with you first. I'm not in a hurry. I can wait until I have suitable wood." "

　　"It's okay," Carpenter Ge smiled, "I cut down this pine wood to prepare it, so you can just use it."

　　"Thank you very much." Ye Annian said, "We will come back to get it in a few days."

　　"Okay."

After leaving Carpenter Ge's house, Ye Anyian looked at the time and it was time to go home and prepare for lunch.

　　As he was walking back, he saw Wu Xianglian and Sun Caihe each carrying a large wooden basin, returning from the direction of Wangyue Mountain.

　　Ye Anyian just thought they were going to do laundry and didn't bother to pay attention to them, so he pretended not to see them and wanted to leave quickly.

　　Wu Xianglian saw him with sharp eyes and shouted sharply: "Stop!"

　　The shout was unclear, but Ye Anyian ignored it.

　　Wu Xianglian was anxious: "Brother Nian, did you do this on purpose?"

　　Ye Anyian finally stopped: "What's wrong with me?"

　　"It must have been your idea!" Wu Xianglian's chest heaved up and down as she spoke, looking very angry.

　　Only then did Ye Anyian notice that what they were holding in the basin was not any clothes, but a basin of dusty sand mixed with a few specks of white.

　　"What are you looking at! Did you teach that girl Ye Xiaomei to do this?" Wu Xianglian glared at Ye Anyian.

　　Sun Caihe on the side looked resentful and said, "Brother Nian, what you did is really unreasonable."

　　Ye Anyian was confused: "What did I do?"

　　"Little bitch, I knew you wouldn't admit it!" Wu Xianglian screamed.

　　Sun Caihe took the basin and took a step forward so that he could see it more clearly.

　　Ye Annian took another look and realized that the white dots mixed in the sand were rice.

　　This rice is smaller than ordinary rice. It is round and has a pearly halo. It is actually pearl rice.

　　Pearl rice, that's pretty good rice. If ordinary rice costs fifty cents per catty, then pearl rice costs one cent. Even good quality rice costs two cents per catty. Most people can't afford it.

　　As for Wu Xianglian's temperament of not taking advantage enough and loving to show off, she would definitely be reluctant to throw it away.

　　What can be done? I can only pick rice grains one by one.

　　It takes a lot of effort and effort not to mention it, but I'm afraid there won't be much if you pick them all out.

　　"This is the homecoming gift your second sister and second brother-in-law brought when they came back yesterday." Sun Caihe said, "Two big boxes, heavy, full of sand, just a little bit of rice."

　　Ye Annian smiled: "What does that have to do with me?"

　　"You!" Wu Xianglian's lips trembled in anger, "Xiaomei has always been honest! If she can't think of such a damaging move, you must have taught her!"

　　"You also know that the second sister is honest, so you put stones in her dowry box?"

　　"I, I was pretending wrong!" Wu Xianglian was furious.

　　"Since you pretended to be wrong, when will you make up for my second sister's dowry?" Ye Anyian looked at her leisurely.

Wu Xianglian was so angry that she couldn't speak and stared at Ye Anyian.

　　After a while, he said: "Then what kind of homecoming gift does she bring? It's all sand!"

　　"Isn't there also pearl rice?" Ye Annian pointed to the basin she was holding. "It's a penny per pound of rice. Whose daughter would be willing to take such a good thing when she comes home."

Wu Xianglian:...

　　Seeing that Wu Xianglian was choked and speechless, Ye Anyian didn't want to waste any more time with them, so he turned around and left.

　　Wu Xianglian jumped behind him.

　　"It's really outrageous! Every one of these married people dares to ride on their elders!"

　　Ye Anyian laughed when he heard this. He had to say that the second sister's trick was really good.

　　However, what he didn't know was that this trick was not done by Ye Xiaomei, nor Wei Feng, but by Wei Feng's wife Yang Huilan.

　　The purpose is to make Wu Xianglian and the others angry, annoyed and unable to make mistakes, so they focus on someone who is the opposite.

　　Sure enough, Jiang is still old and hot. When it comes to means, Wu Xianglian, a brainless village woman, is really not necessarily Yang Huilan's opponent.

　　At noon, Ye Anyian simply made a cabbage stewed with vermicelli, fried a loofah egg, and had a full meal with Ding Qiu and Fu Zai.

　　Jiang Zhu came back in the evening. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Ye Annian sawing wood in the yard and making many wood blocks of the same size.

　　"Come back?" Ye Anyian heard the movement and looked up at him.

　　Jiang Zhu nodded: "I brought you something good."

　　"What?" Ye Anyian stopped what he was doing.

　　"Flowers." Jiang Zhu suddenly took out a bunch of lotus flowers tied together from behind.

　　Two pale pink lotuses are blooming brilliantly, and one is in bud, paired with two lotus pods, which are elegant and fresh.

　　Ye Anyian was a little surprised: "It's autumn, but there are still lotus flowers?"

　　"A kid sold it," Jiang Zhu said, "said he grew it at home and it was the last crop."

　　"how much did you spend?"

　　"Not much, thirty coins."

　　Ye Anyian:...

　　"You make so much money."

　　However, this lotus blooms really well, the petals are all watery, and the lotus pods are also full.

　　Three lotus flowers and two lotus pods are not a trap, but most people won't buy them.

　　"Today's medical fee has been credited to the account." Seeing that Ye Anyian had no intention of being unhappy, Jiang Zhu took off the money bag from his waist and handed it to him.

　　Ye Annian poured out the silver coins and counted them. There were two taels of silver and three hundred coins in total.

　　He collected the two taels of silver and handed the three hundred coins back to Jiang Zhu: "Pocket money."

　　Jiang Zhu laughed: "Are you so nice to me?"

Ye Annian rolled his eyes at him: "How is Feng Mingxu doing?"

　　Speaking of this, Jiang Zhu laughed: "Of course I couldn't put it down because of the Rubik's Cube you made. I spent a long time thinking about it in my stall."

　　"If it hadn't been for him, there would have been more patients coming for consultation today, and the consultation fees would have been just this small."

　　Ye Annian raised his lips: "It seems that he hasn't figured it out yet."

　　Jiang Zhu nodded: "In the end, I taught him."

　　Ye Anyian rubbed his chin: "It seems that we have a tutorial."

　　"Then how much did he order?"

　　"He wanted to order ten first and asked you when he could deliver them."

　　"It will take three days at the earliest." Ye Anyian said.

　　The troublesome thing about the Rubik's Cube is the buckles inside, as well as the need to make six center blocks, twelve edge blocks and eight corner blocks, which is more troublesome than the previous rattles, Luban locks and the like.

　　"Okay," Jiang Zhu agreed, "Then I will tell him when I go to town again tomorrow."

　　"That's right," Ye Annian remembered the matter of deciding on pine wood with Carpenter Ge. "I went to Carpenter Ge's house today, and I will trouble you to come with me to pick up the wood in a few days."

　　"Okay," Jiang Zhu agreed happily, "Have you finished the drawings for the box?"

　　Ye Anyian nodded: "Do you want to take a look?"

　　The two of them were walking towards the medicine house, when suddenly there was a barking of dogs at the door, and then the frightened shouts of two children.

　　Ye Anian shouted "copper coins" and hurried to the door.

　　Then he saw Ye Anbai and Zhao Jinbao standing outside the door, peeking inside.
