Furthermore, the Old Man Sun shakily walked down the mountain with a bottle of wine in his mouth. Before he even returned home, someone had already informed him that there were guests coming from the house. Ernie's melodious voice could be heard from afar.

"You finally found the right person. That old bull of mine has a bad temper, but he's really good at wooden work. It's just that he's too old and too stubborn, even a god can't persuade him."

There seemed to be someone else who replied, but the voice was too soft for the Old Man Sun to hear, he heard from his family's Sanniang, "How is our father as stubborn as our father? I heard from my mother-in-law that even donkeys are not as tenacious as our father.

The Old Man Sun was furious, outsiders would always say that he was not willing to pass his skills down to his daughter, and no longer worked as a craftsman because he had lost all hope. However, there was another reason as to why he did not pass on his skills to his daughter, the eldest daughter was gentle and virtuous, the second daughter was cute and obedient, the third daughter was eccentric and did not want either of them to inherit his skills. Who would be willing to do such a thing in a pile of stinking men?

His wife was weak and sickly, it was impossible for her to give him a son. Thinking about it, these three girls were his only hope. Helpless, he could only return home and help his children think of a way out.

However, he never expected that these people would speak ill of him behind his back.

Old Man Sun coughed twice as he entered the room. He immediately saw Jiaoniang, who was among the three golden flowers, not one bit inferior to his daughters.

Jiaoniang chatted with the three girls in the courtyard for a while and gained some understanding of Old Man Sun. Before coming here, she felt that the old man must have been very weird, but after being with his daughters for a while, Jiaoniang finally understood what Old Man Sun was thinking.

Ah Yan's elder sister was called Ah Yao. Eighteen years old was considered a big girl in this era. She was born good-looking and was kind and generous. Even in the county, there were good families that came to propose marriage. But this Old Man Sun just didn't want to do it. This old man was very stubborn, he didn't care if the person who married his daughter had money or not, he just wanted to be with her for a lifetime.

If normal people thought like this when they married their daughter, they would definitely say that it was wishful thinking. Whether their daughter's dowry was high or not would also determine their daughter's status in their family. What kind of rare dowry could Old Man Sun, a carpenter, produce?

When Old Man Sun's culinary skills were spread throughout the entire countryside, it would have to be recalled several decades ago. At that time, when there was a prince stopping at the Qingyuan County to build a mansion, the Old Man Sun was invited to create furniture for the prince. Rumor has it that it would be difficult for that prince to fall asleep all night, but after the Old Man Sun made a large golden bed out of Huang Li Mu, the King became fond of it. Huang Li Mu and the Old Man Sun's skills and craftsmanship became famous for a while.

After that, the imperial court was thrown into chaos and the prince's mansion was not completed yet. However, when the prince left the Qingyuan County, he took away the bed with him and the price of this Huang Li Wood rose sharply.

Even in the whole of Sun family ditch, there were only three hundred of this kind of tree. In recent years, there were only about a hundred of them, and no one was willing to sell them out, so there was naturally no market for them.

The dowry that the Old Man Sun had given to his daughter was that of Huang Li Wood. A daughter like Huang Li Wood could be used to make good furniture, passed down from generation to generation, and it was a family heirloom that even gold could not compare to.

Fortunately, the three girls understood him, so they did not say anything more even if he was the one who had been searching for good wood in the Huang Li Wood Forest all day. On the other hand, Old Man Sun did not care about the things that had been spread around outside.

The moment he saw Jiaoniang, his brows slanted and he turned his eyes away, not looking at her, "I don't make dowry furniture anymore, I don't do anything else. Let's go back."

Jiaoniang smiled and did not speak. She had long seen through all the carpentry tools in the small courtyard, if they really wanted to wash their hands in gold, why would these eating tools still be so shiny?

"Father, Sister Jiaoniang is not here to make you a dowry box. Come and look at this big guy. Sister Jiaoniang called it a water wheel, he looks really powerful. "

Ah Yan handed over the water wheel blueprint that Jiaoniang brought over. Old Man Sun hesitated for a moment, but he still took it and looked at it for a long time.

The water wheel model that Jiaoniang drew looked extremely simple and crude, and in addition, she was not an engineering major. Although she had studied the water wheel model in the neighborhood before, it would be too difficult for her to draw it out just like that. Helpless, Jiaoniang could only write her thoughts on the side of the water wheel.

"I will use the impact of the water current to move the wooden leaves."

"When the leaves turn, they can automatically lift the water and transport it to the fields."

Old Man Sun felt like laughing when he saw the explanation, but he continued to read through it, and then looked at the simple map of the water wheel. He suddenly thought of something and thought of something, "Who did you get this map from?"

Jiaoniang's eyes lit up, it seemed that Old Man Sun was not simple, she had told Huang Yi and the others on her water wheel diagram, that it was impossible.

"Where did you get this?" Was it a carpenter's idea? However, his thoughts were too simple. If it was just a design to use the force of the water current, it shouldn't be enough. He should still be lacking a wheel, or else he would need an especially large amount of water to propel the leaves … "

Old Man Sun sat down in front of the hall while talking to himself, he frowned and thought, it seemed like Jiaoniang did not need to explain.

Seeing her father like this, An Yan obviously got used to it. She playfully shook her head, signalling Jiaoniang not to disturb her, and led Jiaoniang into the house.

The inside of the house was very different from the outside. Jiaoniang originally thought that the buildings on this side were all quite dark, but he didn't think that the inside of the house were made of yellow wood. The decorations were very warm, and the three rooms on the west side were where the three girls of the Sun family lived.

The three rooms were all connected, and were only separated by a piece of carved wood, with beaded curtains covering the room. The three rooms were all connected, and were only separated by a piece of carved wood. Jiaoniang was amazed.

If these artifacts were to be spread to the later generations, they would definitely be priceless.

"If Sister Jiaoniang doesn't walk tonight and sleep with me, I think my father will definitely help you make this water wheel. Just wait and see, once my father is infatuated with this new type of thing, he won't be able to pull even eight horses back. When my mother comes back, he will definitely be very happy."

When they saw Jiaoniang's water cart, they all wished for nothing more than to make the Old Man Sun use all his strength and bring this rare thing out, so that they could see how they could laugh at him.
