"We have to tell the Emperor about this first. Otherwise, people will think that Zhang Zhong didn't do a good job. This is too hateful. We have to think of a way. We can't just watch the local people suffer."
Old Man Pi wasn't in the mood to fish anymore. He sat there drinking tea and said to the two old men. He had never encountered this kind of situation before. He had to think about what to do slowly.
They had to block it, but how to block it? It was hard to say if they could block it. Compared to the flood on the Yellow River, the Yangtze River was much worse.
Old Man Chang was also trying to think of a way. He suddenly said, "How about this? Send more people to transport stones over. Block it bit by bit first, then seal the opening. It's best if we can find a way to make the water smaller."
"How can the water be smaller?" Old Man Pi asked gloomily.
"Why not? Didn't the people by the river use the river water when they irrigate the land? Let's get them to water the land again. Starting from upstream, the more water they use, the less water there will be. It's so clogged. It's not like there hasn't been a flood in the past. What should be flushed has been flushed. Let's just treat it as a flood like before."
Old Man Chang added.
Old Man Yao disagreed. "How can that be? The food of the people upstream is almost ripe. If we ask them to let the water go, the food will be soaked in the water again. They absolutely can't do it, even if we give them money. After all, the amount of food they have is related to their political achievements.
It's true that there have been floods before, but when has it ever been good? Now it's man-made. The Zhang family can't bear such a big loss. If we don't think of a safe way, we won't be able to recover in three years. The water might even reach the state capital. "
The news was quickly spread to the imperial court by Old Man Pi and Old Man Yao. The entire imperial court was shocked. It wasn't because of the flood. Since the flood had already happened, the Zhang Family and Wang Family would think of a way to make up for the loss. Everyone was shocked. Who was so crazy?
If all the local officials were like this, then wouldn't it be impossible to arrest people and punish them in the future? How many rivers were there in the Great Tang? When it was the rainy season, it was impossible to guard against them. If they were to dig up the rivers, didn't that mean that as long as it was the rainy season, even the local officials would have to tolerate their mistakes? Otherwise, they would start digging up the rivers.
This kind of thing absolutely could not happen. They had to use torture to let all the officials know that if they dared to do this, their entire race would be wiped out.
After the discussion of the punishment in the imperial court, everyone began to look forward to what the master of the Zhang family would do under such circumstances.
*****
"Here, this place is low. And here, it has always been low. Eh? This place is slightly higher. That's great. It's fine as long as it's higher. "
Zhang Xiaobao was still studying the map when the people who went to check the situation came back. Just as everyone thought, almost all the villages near the river were gone. It was a vast expanse of water. Many people ran out with their families. It was still unknown how many people had died.
The rescuers had also gone over. They rowed the boats to look for people who were still alive. The gap was a little bigger, but no one went to plug it. The water was spreading to other places very quickly. All the fields passing by were flooded. There was no hope for any harvest.
After studying the military map in detail, Zhang Xiaobao finally showed a hint of joy.
Wang Juan looked at Zhang Xiaobao and asked, "Xiao Bao, do you have a good idea? Do you know how to plug it? "
"Yes, I know. I'll go and arrange for people. Li Xun also needs to send people to call the people in other places. The road can be repaired later."
Zhang Xiaobao nodded. He had a very bold idea in his heart. After talking to Wang Juan, he took her to find his father.
Zhang Zhong had lost weight. In only three days, he had lost more than five kilograms. He was worried. The news should have reached the imperial court. He didn't know what they would do. And here, he had sent people to rescue, but the water had not been plugged. The local people only cared about escaping and couldn't organize.
Zhang Xiaobao hadn't seen his father for two days. He had been thinking about how to minimize this disaster. Now that he saw his father's appearance, he was distressed. If this went on, it was likely that he would fall ill. Fortunately, he had a way.
"Xiao Bao, Cuckoo, do you have a good idea?" When Zhang Zhong saw his son and daughter-in-law coming, the first thing that came to his mind was this. The two children were his last hope. If even the gods couldn't do it, who else could he turn to?
Zhang Xiaobao nodded fiercely. "Father, there is a way. Didn't you mention that you wanted to repair the bridge last time? It was an official in Wangjiang County who said that we should take this opportunity to repair the bridge and connect the north and south of the river. This can be considered a political achievement. Now, let's arrange for people to do things and get people to gather enough steel. "
"Repair the bridge? Xiao Bao, it's a flood now. It's not normal. " Zhang Zhong didn't expect his son to mention repairing the bridge at this time. This didn't seem to have anything to do with disaster relief, right?
"That's right, Father. It's to repair the bridge. While doing disaster relief, we can repair the bridge at the same time. It won't be delayed and will be repaired very soon. I reckon that when it's frozen, a bridge will be able to connect the two sides. At that time, transportation will be convenient. As long as there's more production here, we can raise the rent tax."
Zhang Xiaobao said firmly. Wang Juan couldn't figure out how to repair the bridge. When Zhang Xiaobao began to issue orders and post notices in the name of his father, Wang Juan finally understood.
Zhang Xiaobao saw from the map that the place where the Wangjiang River burst was at the lowest point. After the water rushed out, Zhang Xiaobao prepared to continue digging along the line and create a road for the water. Finally, it connected to a section of the embankment in front and dug the embankment there.
The water from the upstream would flow back into the Yangtze River from the excavated area. What they needed to do now was to get more people to dig in the front and build a river embankment in the open space in the north. They would block the water from the embankment in the front between the undamaged embankment and the newly built embankment so that the water would flow directly into the area that was going to be blown out.
In other words, they would artificially build a bridge for the water and let the water flow along this road.
This was also the reason why Zhang Xiaobao wanted to repair the bridge. In the past, when they built reservoirs, they would first dig a river and lead the water over. Then, they would first block the dam on the other side. When they were done, they would blow up the blocked area and block the other side again. Then, the water would come back.
Zhang Xiaobao wanted to lead the water away at this time and block the normal river channel. He wanted to use cement and steel to repair the bridge.
This bridge was easy to repair. It didn't need to carry large vehicles that weighed tons. Using cement and steel to build the bridge piers at the bottom, it wouldn't be a problem even if they used wood to build the bridge. It was indeed fast.
After Wang Juan figured out this matter, she hugged Zhang Xiaobao's head and kissed him hard on the cheek.
"Xiao Bao, you really didn't disappoint. You're never the kind of person who compromises in the face of difficulties. At this time, you can still think of making use of this opportunity. That's great. If the bridge is repaired, then this political achievement will be huge. Let's go and take a look."
Basically, everyone in the province started to move. Those who had money contributed, and those who had power contributed. The money naturally came from the Zhang Family, the Wang Family, and Li Xun. The strength came from the bodyguards and the people around them. Zhang Zhong personally went there to take charge.
As long as the people had someone to command them, it would be much easier. They didn't lack the spirit to fight, but they were afraid that there would be no one to lead them. The people in the inner courtyard of the Zhang family began to arrange people according to Zhang Xiaobao's plan. They started to build the embankment from where the water was shallow.
After the embankment was built a little, they pushed it forward again. Bit by bit, they forced the water between the embankment of the Yangtze River and this side. There were also people digging a little further away.
The people in the province started to move, but the three old men still didn't understand Zhang Zhong's intention. To be precise, they didn't understand what the experts of the Zhang family wanted to do.
After asking Zhang Zhong, the three old men stared blankly as Zhang Zhong left to organize the people to work.
"It can actually be done like this? They diverted the water instead of directly blocking it. Then they took the opportunity to repair the bridge. They knew that the embankment was destroyed first. If I didn't know, I would have thought that it was Zhang Zhong who ordered people to dig up the embankment for the purpose of repairing the bridge. "
Old Man Chang said in surprise. He really admired this. If it was someone else, it would have been over long ago. However, the experts of the Zhang family made use of it. Not only did they block the water and prevent it from continuing to rush to other more important places, they also made use of this disaster to make some achievements.
"If the Zhang family wanted to repair the bridge, they could have waited until winter to fix the embankment here first before blowing it up. They couldn't have let the water rush in. He really wants to repair the bridge. I don't know if he can do it. If he can, then he will be the first person in history. No, the experts behind him will be the second person in history."
Old Man Pi was also shocked by this plan. At the same time, he deeply felt the tenacity of the Zhang family. No matter how difficult the situation was, they would not admit defeat. And the more difficult the situation was, the more they would do. It was the same over and over again.
Ever since he started raising chickens to help Old Man Yao deal with the locust plague, he had done this. No matter how many obstacles there were in front of him, he would go through them all.
Old Man Yao stared at Zhang Zhong's back as he left. After a while, he finally said, "As expected, he is quite capable. It seems that there is really no way to deal with the Zhang family in the future. People like him are not afraid of being banished at all. In the face of such a situation, they can still gain benefits. What can they not do?
They can immediately think of a solution without any preparation. That is to say, as long as they have time to prepare, they don't have to worry about anything.
Eh? This is a good idea, especially since the Zhang family now has cement. If they want to build a bridge in the future, they can do the same and build another dam in advance. When the time comes, they can start building bridge piers there. It will be much more convenient for people to travel between the two sides of the river. In addition, they can also build the land road.
When the time comes, they can transport goods together with the water route. The food from the south can be quickly transported to the north, and the things from the north can also be transported to the south. It will also be convenient for people to travel between the two sides. If it is the Yellow River, the speed of transportation by boat can't compare to the speed of transportation by bridge. If there is a war, the bridge will be a great contribution. "
Old Man Pi and Old Man Yao thought differently from ordinary people. As long as they found something good, they would want to lead it to the imperial court.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't care about what other people thought. If they wanted to build a bridge, they could do it. The most important thing was that they could afford to pay for the steel. The two of them had already decided that if the cement wasn't up to standard, they would add copper pillars to replace the poor quality steel when building the bridge piers.
This was all money. If they wanted to build a bridge from the Yangtze River to the other side, it would cost at least 100,000 strings of cash. It was money. They had to spend it. Even if they spent it, they couldn't charge anything like before.
Even if the money was paid by their family, they couldn't charge people a penny after the bridge was built. Fortunately, the transportation capacity wasn't that high now. It wasn't a railway bridge, so they didn't have to worry about overloading large trucks. The bridge deck didn't cost too much.
After the bridge piers were built, they could use ropes to connect the bridge. Finally, they laid wood. If they wanted to build it better, they could use iron chains to connect the bridge piers.
"Money, it's not like my dad caused this. Why does my family have to pay for the repairs? We can't even collect a toll." Zhang Xiaobao mumbled as he looked at the commoners working in full swing.
Wang Juan suddenly laughed. She knew that Zhang Xiaobao was muttering because he was bored. Not to mention that it was because of Zhang Zhong, even if there wasn't any reason, he would still take the initiative to build the bridge. He didn't care how much money his family had to spend.
There was a big difference between having a bridge and not having one. People who came and went didn't have to risk their lives. If the bridge here wasn't too important, then if they could build a bridge upstream, the dangers of the Three Gorges would be reduced.
The really big cargo ships there rarely had accidents. Usually, the dangerous ones were the small boats or small cargo ships that carried people across the river. If there was a bridge, there was no need to use it. They could just walk on it.
Now the bridge here was built for Zhang Zhong's political achievements, and also to help Li Xun. There was also a more important reason to build a bridge through this disaster. If it was successful, they could do the same in other places in the future.
"Xiao Bao, why don't I pay for the bridge too." Li Xun, who was standing behind Zhang Xiaobao, heard Zhang Xiaobao's words and said aloud.
Zhang Xiaobao looked back at Li Xun, shook his head, and said, "No, you don't have to pay for it. If you want to pay for it, when this bridge is built, you can build one on the Yellow River and directly connect it to the capital. It seems that the cement needs to be studied. What if it doesn't work?"
Li Xun nodded seriously, "Okay, let's see how your bridge is first. Don't let it be washed away by the water. In fact, it won't cost much. Give me the cost of the cement. When the time comes, I'll use the marble stones to build a bigger yard for our brother and sister."
"That's my brother and sister." Zhang Xiaobao corrected.
"It's the same." Li Xun replied, but his heart was touched by Zhang Xiaobao's words. He was looking forward to the Zhang family's bridge being built so that people could pass through it normally. When the time comes, he would really go to the Yellow River to build the bridge. He would use some of the money from the transaction to build a few more bridges. It was just that steel and copper were a bit expensive, but cement was not worth much.
Wang Juan also smiled. She admitted that the current environment was really very good. They could spend as much money as they needed. There was no such thing as buying a few bags. In the end, they only needed a little money, so how could they build something of good quality?
No one could be greedy with their own money. Especially the price of the raw materials was very cheap. There were many times when they didn't even need to spend money to buy them. They just needed to find a place to pick them. For example, the materials used to make cement were very cheap.
If a road could be built for the local people during the process of picking, the local officials would be very grateful. Usually, there wouldn't be officials coming over to ask for money. The big officials wouldn't bother to do that, and the small ones wouldn't dare. Li Longji was doing a good job now.
Now that there was a way to solve the problem, the people didn't panic. Even the local people who were washed away by the flood didn't run around and beg for food like before.
They all joined the operation. Naturally, the Zhang Family and the Wang Family paid for food and other things. This wasn't considered a salary, but it was the salary for 20 days. If they worked for a long time, all the rent and transfer would be waived.
It wasn't that the Zhang Family and the Wang Family couldn't afford it, but that Zhang Xiaobao wasn't prepared to pay for it. If everything was measured by money, then this nation would be finished. There would only be money in their hearts, and there would be no morality or family.
The current situation was to resist the disaster. There was also a period of post-disaster reconstruction. It was necessary to show the unity of this nation. If other businessmen were willing to pay to help, then it would be better. Zhang Xiaobao promised that he wouldn't embezzle any of the money. All of it would be used on the victims.
After following them for five days, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan saw that they didn't need to take care of this matter anymore. They were ready to go back. Someone had already sent them a letter. The four little brats had begun to make a fuss because they couldn't see their brother and sister.
Zhang Zhong also asked if the four little brats mentioned him. The result was naturally very disappointing. His children only knew to call him father when they saw him and endure his beard being kissed twice. They didn't usually think of him at all. Their brother and sister were the best.
When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were ready to go back, they also asked the three old men if they wanted to go back with them. They also made watermelon dumplings for the three old men to eat.
The three old men thought of the food Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan made. They swallowed at the same time, but insisted on staying.
They wanted to take a good look at this matter and see what was going on. When the time came, they could use it in other places to gain more experience. The canal could continue to be repaired, and then a bridge could be built on it to connect the two sides. This way, transportation would be more convenient.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan saw that the others didn't move, so they had to go back by themselves. Even Li Xun wanted to stay here and see how the water was blocked elsewhere. He also wanted to see how the bridge looked like, especially how many materials were used. He was afraid that others would cheat him.
A catty of iron was a lot of money. What if he didn't know and someone else bought more, or bought normal iron but used less? After the bridge pier was piled up with cement, it couldn't be seen from the outside. Who knew what it looked like inside? He had to be on guard.
Li Xun still didn't know. What he was thinking about was what happened to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan at that time. Just like what he thought, since it was piled up with cement, no one could see the situation inside. If there was a flood and it suddenly collapsed, he would say that it was the water behind it.
It wouldn't happen once in ten thousand years, or even once in a million years. It couldn't even be compared to the ice age. Anyway, he would say it as shameless as possible. Even if everyone knew what was going on, it was just like the emperor's new clothes.
After hearing and seeing more, he got used to it.
*****
At this time, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't have such concerns. After all, it was still the time to talk about morality. After all, if someone fell to the ground and saved him, he wouldn't say that it was you who hit him.
After the two of them arranged things properly, they rode back quickly. They didn't know what the little guys were doing. If they didn't know how to go, wouldn't they turn the sky upside down?
When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan returned to the younger brother and sister's courtyard, the four little guys had turned the sky upside down. Even the two sisters were making trouble.
The maids in the courtyard were washing clothes for them, and they began to make trouble there. In fact, it was not right to say that they were making trouble. They kindly wanted to help wash. Each of them pulled a washboard and imitated others, making water everywhere. They didn't know whose clothes were, but they were distributed and put in basins for them to rub.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had already used good soap powder. It was very convenient to wash clothes, and the clothes were easy to clean. The six little guys were avoiding the maids who were wiping their faces when Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan came over.
As soon as Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan saw their younger brother and sister, they were happy at first. Then they laughed and made bubbles all over their bodies. It seemed that they had rubbed more vigorously just now.
As soon as the six little guys saw that their relatives had come back, they opened their small hands and ran over. Zhang Xiaobao's younger brother ran and fell to the ground with a plop. He sat there and pondered for a while. Finally, he found the problem. His belt buckle was open. Just now, he stepped on it with one foot. He looked up at his brother and sister, got up angrily and continued to run over.
When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan saw their younger brother and sister like this, they were very proud. This was what they taught them. When they fell, they didn't cry. Instead, they thought about why they fell. It took them a long time to develop such a habit.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were surrounded by their younger brother and sister. They came to the place where they washed their clothes. It seemed that they wanted to let the two of them see what washing clothes was. One by one, they squatted beside the washing board that was placed horizontally. They took the clothes out of the basin and put them on it. Then, they threw their whole bodies on it to wash.
"Good, good. Good job washing." Zhang Xiaobao immediately praised them loudly. He even used his strength to rub his hands twice. This time, it was amazing. Xiao Bei directly rushed over and took off the only piece of clothing on Zhang Xiaobao's upper body. With a splash, he pressed it into the water and rubbed it.
It was unknown how much soap they had put in. Every time they rubbed, a lot of bubbles would come out.
Wang Juan looked and said, "Why don't you put some glycerin in it? It's a by-product when making soap. It's just right for them to blow bubbles for fun."
Zhang Xiaobao nodded, but his eyes were staring at the hands of the maidservants who were washing the clothes. He watched them rub there. Their hands were indeed good and well-maintained, but Zhang Xiaobao always felt that something was wrong.
"Why are you looking at their hands? Haven't you seen washing clothes before? Now, we can only wash like this or use a stick to hit them. There's no washing machine. "Wang Juan stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Zhang Xiaobao.
"Yes, if there's no washing machine, then make one. I don't expect it to have all kinds of functions. As long as it can turn, it's fine. We can make a generator. Is it difficult to make an electric motor?"
Zhang Xiaobao finally knew what was wrong. It turned out that it was missing a washing machine.
"It's not difficult, but there will be leakage." Wang Juan followed.
"Then don't use it. Use manpower, the kind that uses feet. It's better than washing by hand, right? It's even better if it's placed by the river. The maidservants only need to be responsible for pouring water into it. There's also an additional job of washing clothes. "
Zhang Xiaobao decided to free the maidservants' hands and not let them continue to wash clothes with their hands.
Wang Juan nodded and then shook her head. "Who will let you wash clothes? Won't they wash clothes in their own house? There's no market at all. "
"Normally, that's the case. However, there are many rich people who do get others to help them wash their clothes. Don't some commoners rely on this to earn a living? That's settled then. In the future, build more washing machines to help those who cannot find work."
Zhang Xiaobao insisted mainly because he thought that there was something attractive about this matter, and that was the things used to wash clothes. It would be better if there were some spices to add to the fragrance. Many people might not worry about not having enough clothes to wash, but they came to wash clothes out of curiosity and identity. Even if they were not successful in the end, they could still sell washing machines.
Wang Juan looked at Zhang Xiaobao's expression and guessed what he was thinking. She said, "Do you want to sell washing machines? This can't be sold. It needs good materials and a lot of money. People who don't have money won't use it. Rich people have maids and hired old women. Who would spend money to buy this?"
"Why not? If you sell it as a product, no one will buy it. You can just sell it as a fashion trend. Let those people feel that if they don't buy a washing machine at home, the clothes they wear will be different from others. Add some spice.
Use different plants to distill, and then spray the washed clothes with a variety of fragrances, and the pure natural ones. Get it to the key cities of the better states, and a place like the capital. There should be a market. How do you know if you don't try? "
Zhang Xiaobao said as he walked to his yard. He wanted to go back and find a craftsman to make a washing machine. Wang Juan also followed behind to help with ideas. The six little guys were washing happily. When they saw that they were gone, they were stunned and found that they were about to walk out of the yard. They put down other things and ran with their legs tight.
Zhang Xiaobao heard the footsteps and looked back. Only then did he remember that there were six little guys. Zhang Xiaobao paused and winked at Wang Juan. He clapped his hands and walked in front of her. He said, "Please do this with me."
Wang Juan was a little stunned and immediately understood what Zhang Xiaobao was doing. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She followed Zhang Xiaobao and clapped her hands while walking. She said, "I'll do this with you."
"Please do this with me."
"I'll do this with you."
"Please do this with me."
"I'll …"
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan kept repeating this process. As they talked, the six little guys also began to follow. They also said "I'll do this with you" with Wang Juan.
In the end, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan walked in front, and the six little guys followed behind. It was like a mother goose walking with her baby geese. Everyone who saw it was confused. They didn't know why the young master and the young lady were walking with the four little ancestors.
"In this way, we can add poetry and other things in the future. They will be very willing to learn. They will even organize themselves to play like this."
When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan returned to the yard and asked someone to find a craftsman, they hugged the six little guys together and said softly.
"How can you come up with so many ideas? The little guys are so pitiful. They don't even know that they are being schemed against." Wang Juan really understood Zhang Xiaobao's intention this time. Guidance. The learning method of guidance in the game was the best way.
*****
After waiting for another five days, the three old men realized that they couldn't build the bridge yet. They hadn't found enough things to block the bridge, so they finally came back. Staying outside was indeed not as good as staying at home. The main reason was that they didn't have a group of little guys.
When they came back, they saw Liu 'er, Xin Er, Weiwei, Zhang Xiaobao, Wang Juan, and the others installing things. There was a man-made river in their yard, and there was a windmill connected to it.
The three old men were now in the Old Man Pi's yard. They were very puzzled when they saw the thing. They wanted to ask, but seeing how serious the little guys were, they didn't want to disturb them. They could only wait by the side.
After the things were installed, someone directly took a lot of clothes and threw them into the box. They didn't know what it meant.
The three old men watched the group of little guys add water to the box and put in soap powder. When the other end was connected to the windmill, there was a rumbling sound from the box. It wasn't too loud.
Zhang Xiaobao clapped his hands. The six little guys also clapped their hands, although they didn't know what this thing was for or what benefits it would bring them.
Old Man Pi saw that everyone was done, so he came over to look at the situation in the box. It had already started spinning, and it was spinning quite quickly. He looked at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan in confusion and asked, "This is …?"
"Grandpa Bi, you're back. This is a washing machine. It's used to wash clothes. With this thing, you don't need to rub it with your hands or hit it with a stick. It can wash a lot of clothes at once. It's very fast and convenient. Grandpa Bi, how much are you willing to pay if I sell this to you?"
Zhang Xiaobao introduced it to Old Man Pi and asked about the market demand.
"I won't pay a penny. I already have someone in my family who specializes in this job. I have a lot of money and nowhere to spend it. Why would I buy this thing to wash clothes?"
Old Man Pi didn't give him any face at all. Wang Juan laughed softly at the side.
Zhang Xiaobao felt that it was too embarrassing. He smacked his lips and said, "Grandpa Bi, it's like this. As long as you buy this thing, I can give you the materials to add fragrance to your clothes for free. There are many kinds of fragrance, and you can wear it …"
"People will laugh at an old man like me if I wear it. I won't buy it. I definitely won't buy it." Before Zhang Xiaobao finished speaking, Old Man Pi interrupted and refused.
After he finished speaking, he turned around to look at Old Man Chang and Old Man Yao. The two old men nodded cooperatively, meaning that they wouldn't buy it.
Zhang Xiaobao was stunned for a while. He said to Wang Juan, "You see, I told you that Grandpa Bi and the others don't need this at all. You just had to bring it over. Tear it down, tear it all down. Take it back to our own homes."
Wang Juan laughed even louder. The others also laughed. Even the six children, who still didn't know what was going on, laughed like flowers.
Old Man Pi quickly stopped them and said, "There's no need to tear it down. It looks okay and can be used. Keep it. Later, I'll give one to your Grandpa Yao and Grandpa Zhang. As for the fragrance, I don't need it. I'll help you this time. Give it to someone else. Ah, this old man is easy to talk to."
"Grandpa Bi, then should I thank you?" Zhang Xiaobao asked as he pulled his brother to his side.
"No need. I'm also very happy to be able to help little guys like you this time." Old Man Pi said with bright eyes. His gaze was fixed on the washing machine.
Zhang Xiaobao nodded in admiration. "Grandpa Bi, you are really too noble. Then do you think I can still sell this washing machine? I've decided. If the important thing is that you buy a washing machine, I'll give you a good iron. "
"Yes, you can sell it. What does the iron look like? Is it better than a soldering iron? Xiao Bao, how about this? If you sell it directly, you don't know what other people will think after they use it. Why don't you let me have a few first? I'll find someone to help you use it. I'll tell you the pros and cons. What about you two? "
Old Man Pi knew that the things from the Zhang family had always been good. How could he miss out on this opportunity?
Old Man Chang and Old Man Yao nodded at the same time. Old Man Yao had a lot of good friends. Old Man Chang wanted to give it to his family's master, Zhang Jiuling. The things from the Zhang family were definitely comfortable to use.
Zhang Xiaobao curled his lips and said, "I'll take out a total of five. You three can split it."
"Aiya, Xiao Bao, why don't you take out two? We happen to have three people. If you take out two, wouldn't the effect be better? "
Old Man Pi didn't fall for it at all. Little guy, you want to kill three with two peaches?
