"How did you do it? So many people, their expressions and movements, their clothes, their headgear, the background... can you remember everything by heart?"

The two ministers were so curious!

Could this child be a prodigy with a photographic memory?

Song Jinxiu: ...

This camera can, but what does she say?

"Well, I have a characteristic. When I want to remember something, I can remember it. When I don't want to remember it, I can't remember it."

Don't ask me what happened three days ago. Cameras can record memories, but I can't.

The two ministers looked at each other in bewilderment. Why did this child speak so irritatingly?

Just remember what you want to remember. If you had this ability, you would have been the top scorer in the imperial examination!

At this moment, Da Zhuang called out from outside: "Qiu Sheng, is the clan leader sister in your yard?"

Song Qiusheng quickly answered loudly: "Yes, Dazhuang. What do you want to talk to my sister about?"

When Song Jinxiu heard the voice, she turned and asked Dazhuang, who was standing on tiptoe outside the courtyard wall, "What happened?"

Da Zhuang ran in sweating, "Sister Clan Leader, something bad has happened. The waterwheel has broken down."

Song Jinxiu wondered, "Waterwheel? Why did it break down? Was it because the water was flowing too fast?"

Song Dazhuang pouted and complained, "No, it was your eldest nephew who jumped on it and broke it."

Eldest nephew?

Who is it?

Fang Ziyu?

Song Jinxiu suddenly remembered that there was such a person.

"What's he doing on the waterwheel?"

Da Zhuang angrily said, "He didn't believe the waterwheel could turn on its own. He insisted there was something underwater. He didn't find anything in the water, so he started dismantling the waterwheel. But after he dismantled it, he couldn't put it back together again."

The waterwheel turns by itself? The Minister of Works blinked. Did he hear it right?

Can the waterwheel still turn by itself?

Song Jinxiu: What a wasteful thing! Why are you messing with the waterwheel?

She said to the two adults, "My Lords, the crops need watering now, and the waterwheel cannot be broken. I must go and fix it quickly. Excuse me."

"Oh? It's okay. The crops are more important. I'll go with you. My men are good at this."

The Minister of Works quickly put away the two paintings and ordered his men, "Lock the paintings in my luggage cabinet, and bring your men with you."

Intuitively, he felt that this waterwheel was not simple.

Automatic water filling? Unheard of.

As a famous skilled craftsman in the Ministry of Industry, he had to go and take a look.

The Minister of Revenue was completely focused on the painting.

"I look like this? A little thinner. Ouch, why is this beard sticking up? Hmm, overall I look pretty good. I'm much taller and more majestic than that old guy Luqiaoshou."

He stroked his beard and commented on his own image in the painting. The portrait looked clearer and more vivid than his own reflection in the mirror, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.

After looking at myself, I looked at the other people in the painting.

Huh? These two brats didn't even listen to his lecture. Just look at the way their eyes rolled back, and it's obvious they're daydreaming.

After the Minister of Revenue finished appreciating this painting, he looked up at the other one but couldn't find it.

"Where's the painting?"

Xiao Qiusheng said, "Grandpa Lu, roll it up and take it away."

"This old Lu always does things that are not worthy of being seen in public." Qian Dai said in annoyance.

He carefully rolled up the painting in his hand, glanced at little Qiu Sheng, then at the painting on the wall, and asked with a smile, "Qiu Sheng, can you give this painting on your wall to Grandpa Qian? Grandpa Qian can exchange it with you for a rare copy."

How would Song Qiu Sheng know what a unique copy is?

But he knew that this was a high-ranking official, a distinguished guest invited by his sister.

And this is my portrait. Grandpa Qian wants it because he must like me.

So the narcissistic little guy waved his hand generously and said, "I'll give it to you. I'll ask my sister to draw it for me later."

"Hey, good boy."

Qian Dai, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, stole Xiao Qiu Sheng's painting and happily returned to his residence.

By the Tongshui River, Fang Ziyu's clothes had dried and he was lying on the ground assembling the waterwheel impeller.

When Song Jinxiu and the Minister of Works arrived, they saw a man covered in mud, with his butt sticking out, breaking wood with a grunt.

Seeing Song Jinxiu coming over, Fang Ziyu quickly waved her hands and said, "Don't move, don't move, hehehe, little sister-in-law, I'll assemble it right away."

Song Jinxiu took a look at the scattered things on the ground.

You got it done!

The parts are all broken into pieces and the gears have no teeth. It will take you forever to fix them.

Song Jinxiu rolled her eyes at him and ignored him, then ordered Li Chengdao, "Go to the warehouse at home and get all the waterwheel parts."

Fortunately, she made more than just this one waterwheel.

Peanuts are in the flowering and pod-forming stage, which is the stage with the highest water demand. Only when the soil moisture content is kept at around 70% can the peanuts form scabs and bury themselves in the soil more easily.

So, waterwheels are crucial.

Lu Qiaoshou, the Minister of Works, was stunned as he looked at the gears and transmission shafts.

He was like a child, looking here and touching there.

Fang Ziyu also threw down the pile of junk in his hand, came over and pointed at a gear and said, "Oh, I see, this is originally connected."

Song Jinxiu glared at him and said, "Stay still. You are only allowed to watch, and you are not allowed to touch anything."

This guy is not fat, and he is very skilled with his hands. Once he starts working, all his wooden tools will turn into wood chips again.

When a new waterwheel was assembled and placed on the water, the Minister of Works, Lord Lu Qiaoshou, was stunned again.

It really doesn't require any manpower, the waterwheel turns by itself, and the water is supplied?

Song Jinxiu explained: "This is a water wheel flip, which uses the impact of the water flow. This must be used in places with turbulent water.

Sir, you see, when the water flow hits the water wheel, the water wheel drives the large wheel axle to rotate, and the large wheel axle then drives the small wheel axle, so that the overturned wheel can scrape the water and be brought ashore.

Also, the tilt angle of the overturned vehicle and the angle of impact of the water flow need to be adjusted appropriately. Do you think the way I place it ensures the best water-lifting effect?"

Lu Qiaoshou, the Minister of Works, nodded repeatedly in amazement.

"Chief Song, could you please let me draw this waterwheel? If it were to be promoted nationwide, it would be a blessing for Cangwu!"

Song Jinxiu smiled and said, "Of course, as long as it can benefit the common people, it is my duty."

"Okay, okay, okay. In this case, I would like to thank Chief Song on behalf of all the people in the world."

Song Jinxiu couldn't accept his thanks, so she quickly waved her hand and said, "Sir, please go back and draw. I have the blueprints at home. You can help us improve them while you draw."

The Minister of Works thought to himself: Such an exquisite design, what else can he improve?

Originally, the two ministers were preparing to go back, but because of the waterwheel issue, they were delayed for two more days and finally returned to Beijing.

Of course, when the two adults were in the village, County Magistrate Wang came twice and was scolded away by the two adults.

"We came here for the oil press. You can't get in here, so why do you keep coming here? Don't you have anything to do at the county government office?"

County Magistrate Wang went back in disgrace and did not dare to come again. He just asked people to send food from the restaurant to entertain the two of them from time to time.

After seeing off the two adults, Songjia Village finally became lively again.

Aunt Cuihua's loud voice rang out again, "Oh my god, I've been suffocating for the past few days."

Aunt Huozi also laughed and said, "That's right. In the past, when my son was disobedient, I chased him and scolded him half a block. These days, I don't dare to curse loudly in the yard, for fear that the officials will laugh at me."

The third grandmother laughed and scolded: "The young clan leader asked you to learn civilization, and you are so frustrated? It's really not worthy of being on stage."

Aunt Cuihua laughed and said, "Oh, you don't know, I've been holding it in for so long that I sing with the kids every day after school. It makes me feel so happy when I can sing it out loud."

Everyone laughed.
