Chapter 58: Double-boiled hot pot

Chapter 58

With the help of Chu Hechao, the progress of the vertical windmill has made a qualitative breakthrough.

After he finished the gears, Yuan Li skeptically checked whether the flat gear and the vertical gear could mesh, and was surprised to find that the two gears really meshed successfully, and they were highly matched. The problem that had troubled him for a day or two was solved just like that.

Yuan Li looked up at Chu Hechao in surprise, and was a little impressed, "General, how come you can even do this."

Chu Hechao patted the sawdust on his hands and said in a light tone, "I know everything when I'm older."

"That's right," Yuan Li nodded in agreement, "My father is only ten years older than you."

Chu Hechao: "..."

Yuan Li chuckled, held the two gears and walked to the side of the vertical windmill, and carefully installed the two things. During the process, he suddenly felt a pain in the palm of his hand, frowned and saw that it turned out that a piece of skin was pulled out by the unpolished wood thorns on the wood.

Yuan Li waved his hand carelessly, intending to continue, but the man walked up to him, snatched the thing from his hand forcefully, pulled him away from the vertical windmill by his collar, and said in a deep voice: "Go away."

Yuan Li was pushed away, and when he looked again, Chu Hechao had squatted down and occupied his position. With his strong back bent and his thighs and clothes tight, he began to fiddle with the vertical windmill.

His palm touched the wood inch by inch, and the skin on his rough hands was very thick, so he pulled out the thorns when he encountered them. His tone was rude, but his movements were very careful and meticulous.

Yuan Li knew that he was helping him, and he felt a little amused and warm. He stood aside and watched for a while, and noticed Chu Hechao's dry lips, so he said, "I'll go get a pot of water."

Not long after Yuan Li left, Guo Lin hurried over. He was a little surprised when he saw Chu Hechao, and saluted respectfully, "General, do you know where the lord is?"

"He will be back soon," Chu Hechao glanced at him, "What do you want to see him for?"

It was not something that could not be said, so Guo Lin said it honestly, "Two elders of our family have arrived in Ji County, and just visited the Chu Palace. I came to inform the lord."

"Elders?" Chu Hechao asked, "What elders?"

Guo Lin said, "They are the two cousins ​​Yuan Lou and Yuan Dan, the grandsons of the clan leader."

Chu Hechao had never heard of these two people, but this was normal. Regardless of whether Chu Hechao was a traditional scholar or not, his origin was always high-class, and he was the most outstanding among the scholars. If it weren't for a chance, a small family like the Yuan family would never have caught Chu Hechao's attention.

He didn't care about these two people. After letting Guo Lin wait for Yuan Li to come back, he turned his attention back to the vertical windmill in his hand.

This shrunken vertical windmill was not as tall as him, just reaching his chest. Chu Hechao pieced the wood together according to the bumps and bumps, and suddenly asked, "How long have you been with Yuan Li?"

Guo Lin said, "After the new year, I will have been with my lord for eleven years."

Chu Hechao removed another sharp thorn and asked casually, "How did Chu Mingfeng and Yuan Li know each other?"
