Chapter Thirteen People's Minds
"Hey! Put that piece of meat down for me!"
When a strong man saw that his tribe was about to attack the last piece of meat, he roared angrily, slapped his tribe member away, and quickly picked up the last piece of meat.
When the clan members who were slapped away saw that their last piece of meat had been robbed, they suddenly became angry and stood up to settle the score with the other party.
Seeing this scene, the old craftsman on the side knocked on the table and restrained several people.
"How come there are no rules at all when eating at other people's homes!"
Several big men glanced at their old cousin and curled their lips in disapproval.
Didn't you see that the other party showed any respect for you just now? How much meat did you steal by relying on your identity?
The originally prepared bowls of wine per person were almost completely consumed by him, and they dared not speak out in anger.
"Little girl, your cooking skills are really good!"
The craftsman glanced at Chuwu beside him and said cheerfully.
Chuwu glanced at the old craftsman with some displeasure, pouted and said, "Young master cooked that for you personally, you should thank him."
What?
At this moment, even the big men on the side looked at Lu Chensheng in surprise.
They always thought it was the food cooked by the little maid, but why was it cooked by Lu Chensheng? This shocked them a little!
Even though they are all rough guys, they still know that scholars will never go into the kitchen. What's more, they can cook such good food. How could it be made by this scholar?
It's just that the maid's expression didn't look like she was lying at all, which somewhat subverted their ideas.
"How can we let your young master cook for us?"
The old craftsman was also shocked. He quickly stood up and said uneasily, I heard that the other party was still a scholar!
For common people like them, scholars are very noble. How can they be allowed to cook for themselves?
"You're welcome. If you like the food I cook, I'm very happy."
Lu Chensheng seemed extremely unconcerned and quickly waved his hand and responded with a smile.
Seeing the other party's extremely unconcerned look, the old craftsman was speechless.
He looked at the lazy big man beside him and scolded angrily, "You are still lying down and not working. Do you want me to give you some drinks?"
Hearing this, the big men hurriedly got up, and those who were cutting wood and digging soil were all busy.
Seeing everyone busy, Lu Chensheng walked gently to the old craftsman. He drew some designs of the house and wanted to build it according to this.
"Master, I have some ideas here. I wonder if Master can build a house like this?"
The old craftsman took the drawings and saw the drawings drawn one by one with ink pens. They were extremely simple and clear. At a glance, he could see what the house would look like after it was built. He immediately looked at Lu Chensheng in surprise.
"Scholarship is really extraordinary. Even drawings like this are so easy to understand."
The construction of the house is no different from what he usually builds. The only difference is that there are some strange objects.
However, this did not trouble him, and the old craftsman quickly responded happily.
When Lu Chensheng saw that the other party agreed, he felt happy and handed over another drawing.
"Master, can I trouble you to build this object as well?"
"As long as it's not difficult, I'll take care of it."
The man-eating mouth is short. The old craftsman agreed and then looked up at the drawing.
After seeing the strange object on the drawing, his face became strange, "This object is not difficult to make, but it is such a big object. I wonder if you can explain it to me, what is it?"
He has made countless pieces of furniture, but he has never seen the object in front of him, and he feels extremely strange.
"This thing is called a waterwheel. When the water flows, it will push the waterwheel. Then the groove inside will bring water. If you place a water tank here, you can lead the water to the high ground."
Lu Chensheng saw that the other party didn't understand, so he explained on the side.
This land is all fertile farmland, and it would be a pity to leave it like this. Lu Chensheng plans to open up a piece of land in the distance to grow some vegetables.
In this way, carrying water is too troublesome, and it will be much more convenient if there is a water wheel.
Apart from this, having an extra water wheel in front of the door will also add an extra dimension to the scenery.
The old craftsman's eyes widened when he heard this, and then he touched the drawing carefully, looking like he couldn't put it down.
"Yes, it's such a simple truth, why haven't you thought of it before?"
The old craftsman's hands were trembling a little. After finally putting away the drawings, he solemnly said to Lu Chensheng, "Please rest assured, sir, I will definitely build this waterwheel!"
Lu Chensheng's serious look made Lu Chensheng scratch his head a little strangely, and repeatedly asked the other party not to be so serious.
Probably after eating the food cooked by Lu Chensheng, I saw the big men working harder and harder in the afternoon.
When it was almost dusk, Lu Chensheng prepared a table of good wine and food to entertain the big men.
"It was noon before, so I don't want you to drink too much. You can drink more in the evening."
The big men had been waiting for it since they had smelled the aroma. This time they were no longer polite and sat down on the table and started eating.
Lu Chensheng also held a bowl, and would have a drink with the big men from time to time. The amount of wine he drank in one gulp made the big men have a better impression of Lu Chensheng.
After having enough wine and food, Lu Chensheng found that there was no place for the big men to rest here, so the big men all waved their hands and went back to their own villages.
Although the big men drank some drinks on the way, this was nothing compared to their drinking capacity, and they still walked extremely steadily.
"I said, I feel like this scholar is really nice. I just saw that he was busy preparing food for us."
A big man hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
Being a bit honest, he felt that he had something to do with Lu Chensheng, "Shouyue said before that the wood for the house to be built should not be so good. We all picked some inferior materials and sent them. I feel a little sorry for this scholar.
Such a treat for us."
"Yes, I wanted to say this just now, but even with this scholar, I dare not say that these second-hand materials may not be useful for a short period of time, but they are not as good-looking as the good wood, nor are they as durable.
"
The other big man was also a little ashamed. The other party treated them so well, but they did things like this.
"Okay, you guys will move all the good wood here tomorrow, and when Shouyue Xiaonizi starts asking questions, I'll just take care of this matter."
The old craftsman didn't speak much along the way, but now he just slapped the board and said.
When everyone heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled happily. This way, they no longer had to feel ashamed of the scholar.
