Chapter 349 Li Dabao is sullen

Eighty pieces of cloth were sold this morning, which made Liu Paner even happier. In the afternoon, dozens of cloth could be sold, which was more than one hundred and twenty pieces of cloth.

Although business does not make money every day, it flows slowly and continues to make considerable returns.

At noon, Liu Paner specially ordered a few good dishes from the delicious building to reward the employees and gave them money. The shopkeeper Xiao Li had 100 cents and 30 cents and 40 cents each. He gave them tea and snacks.

Manager Xiao Li was very happy. Although he didn't have much money, he never had it in the Wang Family Silk and Satin Village. Even if he had a reward, he was embezzled by Manager Wang, and no one else could make any money.

After Liu Pan'er finished the work, she went to Xinghualou to buy snacks for her child and returned to the town.

Seeing that it was still early, Liu Paner began to look around the village for places suitable for building hydraulic oil presses. The oil pressing requires a lot of force, so the water flow is turbulent, which is better.

Liu Paner went down the water flow, and finally there was a turbulent place five hundred meters downstream, and there was a flat place next to it, which was convenient for building a house.

If drainage is applied, the water flow can be made more turbulent, and the up-down drop difference will be large, and the impact of the water will be greater.

After comparing several places, this place is the most suitable, not too far from the village, making it convenient for transportation.

Hydraulic oil pressing and hydraulic grinding should be achieved.

After a day of busy life, it was almost dark before Liu Pan'er came back from outside.

The food was ready, Liu Paner was washed and came to have a meal. The children were already sitting next to the dining table, waiting for Liu Paner.

"Is it going well today?" Liu asked. Sister Liu couldn't rest and was busy all day long.

Liu Paner nodded, "It's smooth, Carpenter Wang and Blacksmith Zhou will come tomorrow. Maybe when our rapeseed is collected, we can eat the oil squeezed from our own oil mill."

Liu smiled, "That's right, people like us dare not add too much oil to cook, let alone ordinary people. If there is too much oil at home, I will fry croquettes and fruits every day."

Liu Paner smacked his lips, "Fried foods are delicious, but they cannot be eaten every day, which can easily cause heat. However, add more oil to stir-frying, this can be done."

Liu Panerai's eyes are just as much oil as it is.

Li Rong swallowed the food in her mouth and asked, "Mom, can we manage it for me after our oil mill is built?"

Hearing this, Liu Paner was curious and asked, "Why do you want to use oil mill?"

Li Rong pursed her lips and replied: "I don't think I have to stay in school all day, half a day is enough. In the afternoon, I want to go to the oil mill to do things. I can't take the imperial examinations, study the Four Books and Five Classics, as long as I understand it

That's fine, I won't understand what it means when others are talking about it. Since that's the case, I just want to do something."

Li Fang and Li Li are now working in Jixiang Buzhuang, and they don’t have to go to school. Their sisters already know common words, so they don’t want to learn them anymore, and they use abacus very skillfully.

Since Li Rong didn't want to waste time in school and wanted to engage in business, Liu Paner nodded, "Since you proposed it, I'll leave it to you to manage it. Even the construction of the workshop, you can participate in it from beginning to end.

.”

Li Rong's eyes lit up, "That's great, thank you mother. I have something wrong, so you can criticize it."

Liu Paner chuckled, "Okay, it doesn't matter if you make a mistake, but you can't make the same mistake a second time. If you don't understand, you should ask it out on your own initiative instead of pretending to understand if you don't understand."

Li Rong nodded, "Mom, I understand."

The children at home are growing up. Since they want to learn these common tasks, Liu Paner did not stop them and was willing to teach them.

Li Dabao lowered his head and ate, but he didn't eat a bite of the food, and was distracted.

Liu Pan'er used public chopsticks to pick up a piece of braised pork for Li Dabao, "Dabao, eat meat. You are now growing up, so you can't stop eating meat."

Li Dabao looked up and smiled, "Thank you, mom."

After eating meat, I continued to eat only dry rice.

Liu Paner frowned, reached out to pat Li Dabao on the shoulder, and asked in a low voice: "Dabao, what's wrong with you? I have something to worry about. If I'm embarrassed to say it to you, after dinner, I'll go to the study to tell me."

Li Dabao looked up, hesitated, and then slowly said: "Mom, Madam Guo asked me to study hard and strive for fame and fortune."

"Isn't this very good?" Liu Paner looked puzzled, "There is enough money at home to support you in school and take the imperial examination. There are people doing things at home now, so you don't need to worry about it, you can concentrate on your studies.



When Li Dabao heard his mother's words, he felt that her mother had great hope for him. If he didn't study hard, he would let down his mother's hope.

Li Dabao lowered his head again and stopped talking.

Liu usually spends more time with his children than Liu Paner with his children. When Liu Paner is busy outside, Liu takes care of these children.

Seeing Li Dabao feeling depressed and was still focusing on studying and taking the imperial examination, Liu thought for a while and asked, "Dabao, are you not interested in the imperial examination? I remember that before, Carpenter Wang and Blacksmith Zhou came to his house to do music.

When the plow was plowing, Dabao wished he could watch it all day."

Li Dabao looked up at Aunt Xiaohua, then looked at Liu Paner, "The Four Books and Five Classics have been recited over and over again, learning the meaning of it, but it cannot resolve the doubts in my heart."

"Ah?" Liu Pan'er was surprised and asked softly, "Dabao, say whatever you have. If you want to take the imperial examination, we will take the exam. If we can't pass the exam, we don't care. I am now the wife of the imperial examination.

You don’t need to study hard and earn me a royal life; you have a shop at home, a property, and can make money, so that you can have food and clothing. Whether it is studying or doing other things, I hope you can have a skill and feel the joy of learning.

Continue to grow.”

Li Rong looked at his elder brother Li Dabao and plucked up the courage and said, "Mom, my brother likes skills and other things. For example, how can we make iron sharper and harder? How can we make various tools that are more labor-saving?

If you don’t say anything else, just talk about the Quyuan Plough. Now if my elder brother makes it, he can do it.”

When Liu Paner heard this, he realized that Li Dabao was very interested in technical issues.

This is very good!

Liu Paner encouraged and said with a smile: "Dabao, speak up bravely. As long as what you do is not illegal or violate public order and good customs, I will support you."

When Li Dabao heard this, his eyes were so moved that he red. "I had always been worried that not studying would disappoint my mother."

Liu Pan'er smiled, shook her head, and touched Li Dabao's head, "I have always been proud of my Dabao. Whether it is the courage when fleeing famine or the diligence and studious here, they are all role models for my younger brothers and sisters. I am still
