Chapter 148: The deceased in a car accident

Qiu Chen was inspired by the operation of the sticky wooden planks in Mancang, and when he went to the cloth shop to buy an oilcloth and came back, he started shiyan in the carpenter's shop in Mancang.

The tarpaulin is very waterproof and soft enough, if it can be glued into a tube, can it be made into a hose for filling and administering medicine?

However, Qiu Chen was disappointed that the glue of the sticky wood used in Mancang was relatively thick, and the glue used for the wood was very good, but the materials used to make the hose, whether it was the oilcloth that Qiu Chen tried before, or other materials would be softer and thinner, and the use of the hose determined that the bonding area was very small, and the glue used to bond the wood was too thick, and it could only be used under continuous heating, and it would solidify when it was cold...... For these reasons, Qiu Chen tried it once and gave up.

However, with this wood glue, it also gave Qiu Chen an inspiration.

According to Mitsukura, not only carpenters use glue to glue wood, but many other craftsmen also use glue to glue things, and even stonemasons sometimes use glue...... Qiu Chen decided to look for other craftsmen.

There are not many artisan shops in the county, that is, the more traditional ones: carpenters, gold and silver shops, coppersmiths, and stonemasons...... After Qiu Chen visited one by one, there was only one kind of glue in the stonemason shop, but this glue was used by the stonemasons to temporarily glue the stone, and it was also not suitable.

The setbacks did not hit Qiu Chen, but aroused her desire to explore. After thinking about it for a while, Qiu Chen asked Huichun Tang to bring a letter back to his family, set off again, and went straight to Anyang Mansion.

has been back and forth to Anyang Mansion many times, and Qiu Chen is no longer as ignorant as he was when he first entered the city. Although she doesn't know everything about Anyang Mansion now, she is very familiar with some general situations.

The location of Anyang Mansion is located in Laizhou Port on the Shandong Peninsula to the east, adjacent to the Grand Canal, and is an important transportation place for the capital, the north and the provinces south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, the military dispatch yamen in the north is located in Anyang Mansion, and therefore, Anyang Mansion is far more prosperous than ordinary prefectures.

Similarly, because it is located in the main transportation point of the north and south, the business travelers from the south to the north also bring excellent craftsmen, crafts, and specialties from all over the north and south to this place. The reason why Qiu Chen came to Anyang Mansion to find hose materials suitable for her to make infusion and drug administration is also because there are all kinds of craftsmen here, and the craftsmanship is much more exquisite than elsewhere.

After entering Anyang Mansion, Qiu Chen still lived in Yunlai Inn.

Because it was from Anping County, it only took an hour to arrive at Anyang Mansion, after Qiu Chen checked in, after washing, in order to facilitate the change of a cyan men's straight embellished, his hair was tied in a bun on the top of his head, and he tied it with the same cyan turban, and found a folding fan to hold in his hand. Then he said hello to the shopkeeper Cheng and went out with Qingjiang.

The market of Anyang Province is bustling, with many shops and all kinds of artisan shops, and you can find everything you can't think of here.

There is no clear goal to find the right hose material, so although Qiu Chen is here to find the material, there is no specific goal. She knew that she was in a hurry, so she simply relaxed and walked along the commercial streets, shop by shop, but under the seemingly relaxed surface, she always paid careful attention and tried her best to chat with the shopkeepers, workers, and craftsmen of those shops.

Half a year after coming to this shijie, Qiu Chen is already familiar with this shijie. This shijie people have no trademark awareness, no brand awareness, but pay special attention to the confidentiality and inheritance of handicrafts, there are many craftsmen even have the rules of only passing on children, and even some have the rules of passing on children and not daughters, if people who don't know come to the door to ask about other people's craft-related things, it is likely to cause people's vigilance and even disgust, and it is just that they can't find the materials, and then cause unnecessary trouble.

The process of shopping is very slow, and sometimes, Qiu Chen can stay in a store for most of the day. Because Qiu Chen wears men's clothes, but he is not so gorgeous, his handsome appearance and clean temperament make people feel very kind. The scholars of this era were very respected, especially the craftsmen at the bottom of the society, and when such a seemingly scheming young scholar asked them some small questions, the ordinary craftsmen would only feel honored, and would not have any resentment. In addition, Qiu Chen speaks wittily, and asks any questions very tactfully, according to the extensive influence of modern information, he can talk about his own opinions and opinions on many craft issues, although some are just scratching the surface, and even the craftsmen of this era sound very disagreeable, but they will not be disgusted with the little scholar dressed up by Qiu Chen, there is that open-minded, and even will explain a problem to Qiu Chen for a long time, and he has personally demonstrated...... Because of this, Qiu Chen was very familiar with several craftsmen, and he also learned a lot of things from these low-level craftsmen that were not in books.

On this day, Qiu Chen walked into a jade shop.

Jade is something that Qiu Chen really likes in the midst of expensive luxury. In modern times, although she has made certain achievements in her career and has received a corresponding good remuneration, because everything depends on her own struggle, buying a house and a car has almost exhausted all her salary bonuses, and in modern times, after several rounds of irrational speculation, the price of jade has already soared to a sky-high price that makes most people stop, yes, Qiu Chen has always liked it, but has not been able to really buy a haode jade jewelry for himself!

Now, after more than half a year of hard work, she has accumulated a lot of property in her hands, and at this time, her workshop and business are still only in their infancy, and they can be yujian, as long as there are no special circumstances, in the future, her income will increase steadily every month, and there may even be an increase in geometric multiples! Even if she can't be called a rich woman now, she will not be far from the day when she will be called a rich woman, so she is now fully capable and financially able to slowly appreciate these exquisite jades, and she can also buy some beloved things appropriately, even if she doesn't wear them, she can play with them occasionally!

With the passage of time, many things have changed or even disappeared over time, but there are also some similarities, such as the shops selling jade, gold and silverware, which are always cold and sparse in front of the door, and the same exquisite binding.

This jade shop occupies two shops, and the decoration is not as 'tyrant' as that of modern jade shops, but it is definitely elegant and exquisite!

Qiu Chen took Qingjiang shopping, and when he arrived at this kind of store, most of Qingjiang would automatically and spontaneously wait outside the door.

As soon as he walked into the store, the young man who was wiping the dust on the shelves with a feather duster lifted his spirits and greeted him with a smile on his face.

"This guest officer, please come inside!" The young man greeted Qiu Chen into the store courteously, and then immediately asked, "I wonder if the guest officer needs a large piece of jade or a small piece?" ”

Unexpectedly, the guy in the jade shop knew how to peddle business, he didn't ask if he needed it, but directly asked what specific goods he needed, and subconsciously guided customers to have a desire to buy.

Qiu Chen glanced at this young man, and saw that this young man was wearing a green cloth short cotton coat, not very old, only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a round face and round eyes, a smile on his face at this time, and two round dimples on his cheeks, enthusiastic but not flattering, very flattering.

Smiling, Qiu Chen said indifferently: "I don't particularly want to buy anything...... But first, take out your good belongings and look at them! ”

This answer didn't seem very enthusiastic, but it made the young man secretly happy. Such people generally don't make a move, but as long as they look at good things, they are generally very generous, and they don't compare prices. The same piece of jade can buy more silver, and the young man will get more.

"Hey, hey, guest officer, please come here!" The smile on the young man's face was even bigger, and he eagerly greeted Qiu Chen to the hospitality area on the side of the store, and quickly made a cup of tea and sent it over, "Guest officer, you have a cup of tea, and the little one will get the goods for you!" The guest officer said that the objects of the small shop are the most haode in the entire Anyang Mansion......"

As he spoke, the young man rushed to the counter, and carefully took three or five pieces of jade from the shelves with both hands, or played with them, or carved jade pendants and jade buckles, and put them together in a tray lined with red satin, and held them up with both hands.

Qiu Chen's eyes swept into the tray, and he saw the jade that the young man had brought up, not to mention the shape and craftsmanship, the fineness was just average. Moreover, in this era, jadeite is far from being recognized by the public, and most of the nephrite jade sold in jade shops is a variety of nephrite. Nephrite jade is relatively warm in color, introverted in brilliance, and jadeite is very clear and clear, and the color is generally not as bright and bright as jadeite.

Frowning slightly, Qiu Chen said, "Hmm, this is what you said about the most haode in Anyang Mansion?" If that's all there is to it, you don't have to look at it! ”

As he spoke, Qiu Chen was about to get up.

The young man finally looked forward to a guest, how could he let Qiu Chen leave so easily, and hurriedly smiled: "Guest officer, guest officer, the little one is wrong, the little one is wrong." The small one will go to the back and get you the most haode...... It's just that the better one is the bottom of the small shop's pressure box, which is not the small one that can be taken out, and the guest officer is asked to wait for a while, and the small one will go to the shopkeeper to tell the shopkeeper, and let the shopkeeper bring out the best goods for the guest officer. ”

Qiu Chen seemed to be still uneasy, glared at the young man, then served the tea, and said a little impatiently: "Go quickly, it's been a long delay, I don't have so much effort to spend here!" ”

"Yes, yes, wait a minute!" The young man said continuously, and hurriedly walked to the back of the shelves, but did not leave the storefront, only held the shelves, and shouted with his face back: "Shopkeeper, there is a guest officer who wants to take care of the goods!" ”

The place where Qiu Chen sat was close to the door of the store, and there was a distance between the young man, and he only faintly listened to the young man shouting, and someone faintly agreed. The young man ran back and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, the shopkeeper is here!" ”

Qiu Chen nodded, as if unintentionally talking to the young man: "You just said that your store is all high-quality goods, I don't know if it's Yangzhou or Suzhou?" ”

In the past two days, Qiu Chen has walked around the shops in Anyang Mansion, and she has really gained a lot of knowledge, the carving of this jade is still what she heard in an engraving shop before, and she is now learning and selling it.

As soon as he heard this, the young man's gaze changed when he saw Qiu Chen, and the smile on his face became more enthusiastic. Being able to say Yangzhou workers and Suzhou workers shows that this person understands jade. Those who sell antiques and jade are not afraid of knowledge, and it is best to know some of the ways, but they are not proficient. Such a customer, as long as the jade quality is good and the carving is good, the price can go up, unlike some people who don't understand it at all, and a piece of high-quality jade is sold to him for a tael of silver, maybe it is too expensive.

Isn't there a saying that sells goods and knows home! It's a reason!

"Ouch, this guest officer is really knowledgeable...... Hehe, it's not a small boast, the objects in our store have Suzhou workers and Yangzhou workers, but the most haode is not the color of the goods imported from these two places......"

Speaking of this, the young man glanced at Qiu Chen proudly, and said with a smile, "We have our own jade master in the store, and the objects made are not as rough as Yangzhou Gong and Suzhou Gong, and the most called haode is absolutely unique, and there is no other semicolon." Even if the guest officer doesn't like these carved objects, he can also choose his favorite jade material, and explain to the jade master that he understands the custom-made, and there is nothing that should not be agreed upon! ”

There are craftsmen...... Qiu Chen was secretly happy, but his face was still faint: "Your master can be in the shop?" If I'm not in the shop, I don't have time to wait! ”

When the young man saw her say this, he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the master is upstairs on weekdays, and he will come down when needed!" ”

Qiu Chen nodded with some satisfaction, lowered his eyes and drank tea. But I was thinking about how to find a way to go upstairs to the jade workshop later.

While talking to the young man, the shopkeeper of the jade shop, dressed in gray and about forty years old, walked downstairs with a not too small box in both hands, and walked out around the shelves.

As soon as he saw the young man and a young scholar dressed in green clothes, the shopkeeper frowned slightly, although this young scholar was handsome and elegant, but he was dressed ordinarily, and he didn't even have a single ornament...... Can such a person afford high-end jade?

But soon, Qiu Chen proved with practical actions that he looked down on flat people. Qiu Chen quickly picked out a high-quality jasper bamboo leaf hairpin, a phoenix blood jade bracelet, and seven jade pendants with excellent texture and carving from the jade pieces taken down by the shopkeeper, and after asking the price, a total of more than 800 taels of silver, Qiu Chen did not hesitate, and directly asked the young man to wrap it, and took out two silver tickets of 500 taels to pay.

Although there are no modern advanced jade tools in this era, it has to be said that many jade craftsmen are very skilled in their skills.

Then, Qiu Chen said lightly: "There is haode jade material, take it out and take a look!" ”

After buying a bunch of jade ornaments in one go, Qiu Chen had quickly turned into a super big financier in the eyes of the shopkeeper, and hurriedly replied attentively: "Okay, guest officer, please wait a moment!" ”

Qiu Chen added lightly: "I'm going to make two copywriting things, and too small materials will be free!" ”

Although the price of jade is not based on size, it is also a haode material, and the price of large jade materials is often not comparable to a few or several small pieces of jade because they are rare. For the same grade of jade material, a large piece may not be as much material as ten jade pendants, but the price is definitely higher than ten jade pendants, and even several times and dozens of times higher.

However, Qiu Chen also said that she was playing with the copywriting, although it was a big piece, but it also had a limited scope, which was basically something that could be grasped with one hand, and the shopkeeper would naturally not bring out the big Yushan material.

After looking at the jade material brought by the shopkeeper for the second time, Qiu Chen picked two pieces and said that they wanted to be ordered. The shopkeeper instructed the young man to go up and invite the jade master down, but Qiu Chen stopped the young man loudly, and turned to the shopkeeper's request: "I'd better go upstairs and talk to the jade master, see the semi-finished products made by the jade master, know the carving characteristics of the jade master, and Zuihou determine the regulations of the objects I want." ”

The shopkeeper pondered for a moment, and felt that it was okay to go to the jade workshop to have a look, and the skills of the jade were not something that could be stolen by looking at the master. So he agreed and led Qiu Chen upstairs.

In the workshop of the jade master, Qiu Chen inadvertently learned about the things used for jade bonding, the so-called 'Ten Thousand Years Prison', which is a binder made of lime and egg white.

When Qiu Chen heard this, she couldn't wait to slap herself a few times, she knew that egg whites had a sticky effect, and when she made 'firecrackers' before, she also mixed eggs, glutinous rice juice with clay, and used the adhesive effect. How did she get to this point, she was so bent on finding glue that she forgot about it!

Quietly negotiated with the jade master about the manufacturing style of the carvings, Qiu Chen paid the deposit, took the jade ornaments he had selected before, and left the jade shop in a hurry, beckoning Qingjiang who was guarding the door to go back.

Egg whites and glutinous rice juice are not rare things, presumably they are in the kitchen of the inn, and she doesn't have to buy them anymore, just go back and ask the guy for a little.

After searching for many days, there was finally progress, Qiu Chen was full of excitement, and he walked much faster, which could be called the wind under his feet. However, often things are like this, the more anxious you are, the easier it is to delay you with something.

Qiu Chen walked out of the jade shop, because he was in a hurry, so he didn't leave the jade shop where people came and went, but walked around a relatively wide, smooth and clean street familiarly. Qiu Chen was so anxious that he couldn't fly back to the inn with wings, asked for glutinous rice juice and egg white to try the adhesion, walked quickly with his head down, and without defense, a carriage suddenly came around a corner, Qiu Chen didn't react, and he was about to hit it head-on......

The carriage was driving very fast, and it was turning again, and it was a little tilted, and Qiu Chen hit it headlessly, and the coachman saw Qiu Chen hurriedly strangling the reins of the horse: "Woo......"

The horse's neck was flipped by the horse's reins, and with a mournful roar, the front hooves were raised high, and the hind hooves dragged a few steps before they could stop. In this way, the brakes were slammed, and the people in the car couldn't sit still, so they heard the faint sound of crashing into the car: bang......

Immediately, a cry of pain came from the car: "Ah...... Ouch......"

An exclamation and fright in front of him were not sharp, and a cry of pain in the back was even more tactful and delicate, just like a warbler crying in the shade of the willows, that is, Qiu Chen, as a woman, was still frightened, and he was still a little guilty by this cry.

"Uh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was in a hurry and didn't notice......" Qiu Chen hurriedly asked the people in the car with concern, "May I ask the girl in the car, have you ever been hurt?" Do you want to ask Lang Zhong to take a look...... Xiao Ke, Xiao Ke knows that there is a medical hall not far away, with superb medical skills, and there are also haode healing medicines! ”

In Qiu Chen's heart, although the other party's carriage was in a hurry for this accident, she was also responsible for not paying attention to the road conditions in front of her in a hurry. What's more, she wasn't hurt, and the pain was obviously knocked out, that is, no matter who was responsible, the injured had to be treated first!

But before her words fell, trampling, the sound of horses' hooves, five men on horseback came running from behind the car, all tall and strong......

"What's wrong?" The first man came up and asked in a deep voice.

Why does this sound familiar? Qiu Chen looked up suspiciously, and couldn't help but be stunned, the person who asked the question turned out to be a ...... It can be regarded as an acquaintance, it is actually the one who led the team of 100 households from Huairong to the grassland - Hu Yanxun!

The people in the car heard Hu Yanxun's questioning at this time, their voices were soft, and they called out with tears and sadness: "Master......"

This sound was really lingering, but it brought such a sad coquettish voice, which attracted the attention of everyone present. It's just that the four people who followed behind Hu Yanxun were obviously determined people, but they turned their eyes slightly, and immediately lost their expressions and lowered their eyes. However, Qiu Chen looked at the car curtain with a curious expression, and wanted to know what kind of appearance it was to be able to have such a charming and lingering voice? The woman who can become the inner family of this Hu Yanxun shouldn't be that kind of sound fear, right?

Ahem, the so-called sound dinophobia is the name given by some boys to those women who have charming voices but ugly appearances that resemble dinosaurs when Qiu Chen was in college. It is said that it was because a boy fell in love with a female netizen at that time, and the voice on the phone was particularly charming and moving, and the male classmate was fascinated, and he bought a train ticket and traveled thousands of miles to meet him...... As a result, he fled from the wilderness, and it is said that he came back and had nightmares for a long time!

Thinking of this, Qiu Chen subconsciously looked at Hu Yanxun, but was surprised to see this man who had always looked solemn, and his face turned red at this moment, twisting his face to the side...... Seems embarrassed and weak-hearted?

What is this man's heart weak and embarrassed? Is it because his woman is coquettish to him in front of so many people?

Shaking his head, Qiu Chen put aside these speculations that were born in an instant. Anyway, what's her business?

With a bow, Qiu Chen said to Huyanxun: "It turned out to be Huyan Baihu, but I didn't expect to meet here again...... Just now, Xiao Ke didn't pay attention when he was walking, and he almost crashed into the carriage of your mansion and collided with the relatives of your mansion, please forgive me for hundreds of households! ”

Speaking of this, Qiu Chen paused slightly, and said: "Huyan Baihu, Xiao Ke knows that there is a medical hall near the left with good medical skills, do you want to take your relatives to let Lang Zhong have a look?" ”

Hu Yanxun looked at the woman in men's clothes in front of him, and a breath of anger rose in his chest. In Ling Shanwei, in Huairong Town, and on the way north to the grassland, this woman didn't seem to know herself, and she didn't dare to recognize it at that time, but she was afraid that it was two people who looked similar but didn't want to do it. Which Cheng thought, he was sure that this woman was his wife Yang, and when he saw it at this time, he still looked calm and irrelevant, not only did he not have the slightest joy when he saw him, but he still pretended not to know him at all...... What is she trying to do?
