032 Technophile Wu Da

Because of Su Hao's appearance, both Han Wen and his daughter fell into their own depression. But at this time, the initiator Su Hao did not know these things. He was at the home of the yamen runner Wu Da, guiding him how to transform a modern firewood-saving stove.

Wu Da was a very failed person as a yamen runner, lacking in a yamen, timid and afraid of things, and was considered a very poor person among the yamen runners. However, when it comes to his own professional issues, Wu Da seemed very active.

This morning, Su Hao said that the stove he made was much better than Wu Da's, which made Wu Da both excited and suspicious. While Su Hao was going to Longguang Academy with Fang Mengjin, Wu Da asked Dai Qi for leave and rushed straight to Longkou Village. He wanted to see with his own eyes how good the firewood-saving stoves that Su Hao said were.

Wu Da's arrival once again caused another shock in Longkou Village. On the first day, Su Xiaohu returned from the county town and said that Su Hao had been hired by the magistrate to work in the county government. The villagers just felt that Su Hao had good luck and had no more ideas. But Wu Da came here this time. He told the villagers that Su Hao is now the magistrate hired by the magistrate, and his position is far above ordinary tutors like Zheng Chun, which surprised the villagers a lot.

Thinking about how arrogant Zheng Chun was when he was digging a well in the village, he kept saying that he was sent by the magistrate. Now, Su Hao has actually reached a higher position than Zheng Chun. Isn’t this the biggest official in Longkou Village that has been produced in so many years?

Wu Da asked Su Hao's home and wanted to visit Su Hao's home's firewood stove. As soon as he said that, more than a dozen villagers volunteered to lead the way. When the group came to Su Hao's home in a hurry, the villagers who came to hear the news had already squeezed Su Hao's home out of nowhere.

"May I ask, are you Old Lady Su?" Wu Da asked deeply to Yang Gendi.

The master's wife can be called a wife, and the master's mother is naturally an old lady. Generally speaking, the master is older, and it is not an exaggeration to call his mother an old lady. But Su Hao, the master, is only 17 years old, his mother is less than 40 years old, and Wu Da is also in his 30s. He calls Yang Gendi "Old Lady Su" with a shy face, which makes Yang Gendi confused.

"This Crazy Master, I dare not say that. I am Su Hao's mother. Is my Haoer a member of the Crazy Master?" Yang Gendi asked.

Wu Da shook his head: "Old lady, Master Su is my boss's boss, that's the immediate boss. Just call me Wu Da, don't call me a mess."

"Oh, it's Mr. Wu, please come into the house quickly." Yang Gendi smiled so hard that her face was blooming. Amid the compliments of everyone, she invited Wu Da into the house.

After sitting down in the main hall, Yang Gendi couldn't wait to ask Wu Da about Su Hao's situation. The villagers around him were also full of gossip and waited for Wu Da to introduce the situation. Wu Da was determined to say that he was just here to see the stove, but it was not easy to speak at this time. He actually didn't know where Su Hao lives now and how he lives, so he had to make a fool of himself and his life in the county town as if he was a flower. In this way, Yang Gendi's worries were eliminated. Yang Gendi didn't sleep all night last night, for fear that his son and adopted daughter would be bullied in the county town.

After chatting for a while, Wu Da took the opportunity to express his intention. Yang Gendi immediately brought him into the kitchen, and everyone followed him into the kitchen, praising Su Hao's "school stove" in the village in unison for how magical it was. In fact, Su Hao had only had time to help several families change the stove in the village, but in the past few days, everyone has visited those families, and they are looking forward to Su Hao coming back to the village one day and asking Su Hao to get such a stove for his family.

Wu Da tried the stove at Su Hao's house and went around the houses of several other families. He couldn't help but admire Su Hao's skills from the bottom of his heart.

As the saying goes, when an outsider watches the excitement, the villagers in Longkou Village only know that Su Hao cooks firewood and is easy to cook, but they can't see any mystery. Wu Da is different. He looked at these stoves from the inside out several times, and tried to burn them with straw. He found that these stoves were indeed as Su Hao said, saving more than half of the firewood than usual stoves. Wu Da has always been quite conceited about his own stoves, but after using these stoves, he had to admit that the effect of these stoves saving firewood is far higher than the stoves he made.

Saying goodbye to the villagers of Longkou Village, Wu Da rushed back to the county town from the countryside despite his hard work. He happened to meet Su Hao after he finished teaching the students and was about to go home. Wu Da ran to Su Hao, and knelt down without saying a word, which scared Su Hao.

"Old Wu, why are you?" Su Hao asked.

"I'm so brave, I want to ask Master Su to teach me how to build the scholar's stove." Wu Da said.

"What, Xiucaizao, who named it?" Su Hao asked strangely.

Wu Da said: "The master doesn't know anything. The villain made a special trip to Longkou Village, the master's hometown, today to observe the stove made by the master. The people of Longkou Village told the villain that this stove was created by the master and was called the scholar stove in the village."

"This name... is really not very good." Su Hao said disdainfully, "By the way, Wu Da, since you have already seen those stoves, then you should believe what I said, right?"

"I believe it, I believe it, the villain is impressed by the master's craftsmanship."

"It's not necessary to protrude into the ground. Wu Da, after looking at the stoves, can you see the mystery of saving firewood?"

"When I came back to Master, the villain saw some of the truth. The reason was somewhat consistent with the method my father said when he taught him. However, Master did it more cleverly. In some places, the villain only knew the wonderful things, but couldn't explain why he did this." Wu Da said.

"This involves some thermodynamic issues. I'll talk about it for you another day." Su Hao said. He ate at Longguang Academy at noon. Wu Zhicheng was very enthusiastic in hospitality, but the food was cold. Su Hao was not full at all. After a afternoon class, Su Hao was so hungry that he was anxious to go back for a meal.

Wu Da said relentlessly: "Master, it's better to have a day than choose a day. The villain has to see the master's good stove, and he is unbearable. If he can't ask what he wants, he may not be able to sleep tonight. The villain dares to ask the master to move to the villain's house and guide him to take a scholar's stove like this?"

"Now?" Su Hao scratched his scalp, "But I haven't eaten yet."

"Since the villain asks the master to teach the villain to make the stove, the master is the villain's teacher. This wine must prepare for this meal of master. Why not go to the villain now and I ask the child's mother to prepare the wine and food, and the master will take this time to teach me how to make the stove. " Wu Da insisted.

Su Hao was defeated by Wu Da. The technology-loving creature is really a very terrifying animal. He was entangled by him, so it is impossible to get out easily. Su Hao thought about it, since he had agreed to teach Wu Da to be a firewood-saving stove, it would be the same for early and late education. Tomorrow he will take people to the countryside to dig wells. I don’t know how many days it will take to get back. It’s better to finish the matter before now.

"I have a sister waiting for me to go back to have dinner at home. Why don't I go back and talk to her first?" Su Hao said.

"If you pass the word, it doesn't take the hard work of the master. I will follow me to my house first. I'll just ask my boy to run for a while later. I'll invite the young lady to my house for dinner together." Wu Da said enthusiastically.

Su Hao nodded and went to his house with Wu Da. Wu Da's home was in a place called Hongjiaxiang, not far from the shore of Dongge Lake where Su Hao lived. Wu Daniu called his eldest son Wu Daniu. As soon as Su Hao said a few words to him, the child said loudly: "I know, I know, it is the house of the shopkeeper Huang who sells Xia cloth."

"Uh..." Su Hao scratched his head: "Brother, are you more familiar with this county than your father?"

"These children are just having fun in the county town all day long, so there are no places they are not familiar with." Wu Da said.

"Then you go quickly and say you want to find Sister Xiu'er." Su Hao said to Wu Daniu.

Wu Da glanced straight and said, "How dare you mess up your seniority? Big Niu, you have to call Aunt Su, do you know?"

Su Hao smiled. Wu Daniu was twelve or thirteen years old, and Lu Xiu'er was only two or three years older than him. It was too chaotic to ask him to call Lu Xiu'er an aunt. However, after Wu Da said this, he was too lazy to correct it. He just said, "If you call your aunt, you have to call him Aunt Lu. She doesn't have the same surname as me, she has the surname Lu."

"I understand!" Wu Daniu agreed, the man had already run away.
