Chapter Twenty-Four: Full of Intrigues
Early in the morning of the second day, Ge Qingqiu came to the Lin Family Artillery Workshop early to prepare for work.
Today, she actually has some expectations.
Because of yesterday's incident, Lin Xicheng probably felt that only using the title of No. 1 could not tell her to shut up completely, so he solemnly announced in front of the public that the batch of workers selected this year, headed by Ge Qingqiu, would become the main force of the Lin family's artillery workshop in the future, and would have more opportunities to learn the Lin family's secret artillery making technology.
Ge Qingqiu said in his heart, although the things of the ancients are not necessarily as simple as modern technology, there are some lost crafts that cannot be copied with modern technology.
If she can take this opportunity to learn some lost ancient crafts, then the grievance she suffered yesterday would not be in vain.
However, when she arrived at the Lin Family Artillery Workshop, she found that no matter how beautiful her dream was, how cruel her reality was.
Lin Xicheng's so-called ability to learn more techniques turned out to be the first step of a rookie in the workplace.
Oh, what's the first step for a rookie in the workplace?
Ge Qingqiu summed it up concisely and concisely in two words - miscellaneous!
Throughout the day, she wandered between the various types of work in the cannon workshop.
Serve tea here, hand water there.
She was like a little bee that needed to be passed on with her, and she was busy up and down the cannon all day. When the sun was almost set, she finally found a cool place to catch her breath.
Master Qian, who was assigned by Steward Zhou to take her personally, appeared like a ghost at this time.
He kicked the woman who was so tired that she collapsed to the ground, and said angrily: "Hey, new here, who let you rest?" Go to Zhurifang, Nanluo Street, and bring me back today's medicine bottle." ”
Ge Qingqiu struggled to get up from the ground, but halfway through the climb, she suddenly stopped.
She looked at Master Qian in front of her in shock, and after a while, she asked incredulously, "Master Qian...... The Takeribo you're talking about can't be the one three blocks away from here, right?"
Master Qian glanced at her and asked coldly: "Is it that I can't tell clearly, or do you not hear clearly?"
Ge Qingqiu felt that he was about to cry, his little face twisted into a twisted shape, and finally couldn't help but say: "It will take at least half an hour to go to Zhurifang now, but I have to get off work in a quarter of an hour!"
In ancient times, there was no overtime pay!
Obviously, that can't be.
Master Qian continued to look at her with white eyes, and snorted angrily, "Can you do it, but if you can't do it, get out! Don't get in the way of Lao Tzu here." ”
Ge Qingqiu gritted his teeth and squeezed a smile from his face, "Yes, master, you wait." ”
As soon as she finished saying this, she planned to rush to Zhurifang, but as soon as she turned her head, she bumped into someone in front of her.
Ge Qingqiu covered his head depressedly, raised his eyes, and saw Steward Zhou's ill-intentioned face.
She secretly said bad luck in her heart, but a polite smile appeared on her face, and she was about to say hello, but the other party had already opened her mouth first, "Yo, I was looking for you everywhere, but I didn't expect you to be here!"
Ge Qingqiu chuckled in his heart, looking at the expression on his face as if he was thinking about something, he had a feeling that something was wrong.
Steward Zhou looked at her gloatingly, "What's the matter, Miss Ge, are you tired?
Ge Qingqiu sneered, adjusted to a state of not approaching the living, and said lightly: "Thank you for your kindness, no need." ”
Although she tried her best to make herself look less embarrassed, after a busy day, her light blue dress had already been wrinkled, and there were even fine beads of sweat on her forehead, which was no longer as energetic as yesterday.
Steward Zhou became more and more proud in his heart, and patted her shoulder, "I said it a long time ago, you are a little girl, you don't embroider and cook at home, come to this men's artillery shop and grab jobs with men, what are you talking like?"
He pointed to Master Qian behind him, and said with a smile: "Now Master Qian has only sent you the simplest job, you can't even do this, don't be ashamed in the future." ”
"Steward Zhou!" Ge Qingqiu interrupted her impatiently, "Are you still in trouble?" Master Qian just ordered me to go to Zhurifang, you also know that Zhurifang is far away, if it's okay, then I'll leave first." ”
With a word, she turned and left, not in the slightest mood to talk nonsense with him.
"Eh, wait. ”
Steward Zhou suddenly called, and then, three steps and two steps came forward to block her way.
He took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Ge Qingqiu, and said, "Zhurifang can take a small matter like a cannon sample, I can just let others go." You take this list, take a few people, go to the shopkeeper of Ningyang Xuan on Zhuque Street, and get back the materials that will be used to make the order of the Horse Mansion tomorrow. Remember, this batch of goods can be used tightly, you have to read carefully before signing the receipt list. ”
Ge Qingqiu took the piece of paper, and when she finished reading it, she was stunned.
She thought for a moment, took the list and asked suspiciously, "Let me hand over these things?"
Steward Zhou raised his eyebrows, "What, you can't go?"
Of course she went, and she was more willing to carry out the task assigned by Steward Zhou than to go to Zhurifang to take samples.
Because of the things on this list, Ge Qingqiu had already guessed after reading it once that this should be some kind of ingredient needed to make firecrackers.
This formula looks special, she has never seen it before, and if she has the opportunity to get the goods, she will naturally have the opportunity to learn more.
Moreover, Suzaku Street is much closer than Nanluo Street!
A huge temptation was in front of him, but Ge Qingqiu still tried to keep himself awake.
She suppressed the excitement in her heart and tried her best to make a calm appearance, "No, it's just that I thought these things should not be made for those experienced masters?
A strange smile appeared on Steward Zhou's face.
He held back for a while, as if he had suppressed the anger in his heart, and then said sadly: "You little girl has some ability, I still know it." It's just that I also remind you that this batch of goods, but the Horse Mansion is urgent, and if there is a mistake in any link, the goods will not be handed over in time, and the top will investigate it, and you can't afford to pay for your ten cheap lives!"
Although he didn't like what he said, Ge Qingqiu weighed it, and finally put the paper away carefully, and showed a confident smile to Steward Zhou, "Don't worry, naturally I won't give you a chance to find my fault!"
With that, he turned and left.
And just as she turned around, Steward Zhou's face also showed a sneer, "Little girl, don't blame me, you brought it on yourself!"
