Chapter 43: Talking about money
The next few days were very busy.
She hastily ate breakfast, freshen up a little, and went to the study to take a look, and there were no documents to copy, so she went out to the pottery shop in Sanlu Lane. If you have a document, sit at her dedicated desk and finish writing it before going out. Lunch is to deal with, most of the time in the tofu shop drinking soy milk and eating pancakes, because the mix is cooked, and also eat a working meal in the pottery shop. In the afternoon, she still went to the pharmacy, and in the past few days she has a new harvest, she found natural copper and mica, and unexpectedly found gelatin.
She knows that gelatin is often used in Chinese paintings, used to fix colors, when she grinds minerals such as realgar into powder, she needs something to make the powder into a paste, water is definitely not good, it is too thin, there is no connection between mineral particles, you must use a sticky thing, and this thing is so easy to touch, isn't God helping her?
The discovery of gelatin gave her confidence to take a step back and say that even if the pigments she invented did not work well on pottery, she could still use them to make paintings, such as on silk yarn or wooden boards.
It rained lightly today, and Han Zhou decided not to go out, and it was very tiring to go out every day, and at this time she missed her horse "Lao Chen" very much. But horses are valuable things, how can she be embarrassed to ask the Hu family to ask for it, it's okay to borrow it, but it's better not to open your mouth, can't you provide a horse in this prime minister's house? She never wanted the Hu family to know that she was not doing well.
The light rain sprinkled in the green garden, and the chickens let her raise on the kang in the house, they were so small that she was afraid that they would catch a cold. If they are any bigger, it is estimated that they will be very edible, and she is afraid that she will not be able to raise them herself, but she can scatter them and let them find food on their own. If they don't have the ability to find food, she eats them.
She said viciously to the chick in the basket, "You know what? If you can't find something to eat, I'll eat you. "When the chicks saw someone playing with them, they chirped and chirped, and their voices were tender and tender, which made people's hearts soft.
God, how could she be willing to eat them? They are the same as her, they need love and care. Without them, there would be only the sound of her breathing alone in this empty room, and with them, there would be companionship. Their fluffy fur is like the hair of a young daughter.
She reached out and stroked them, and the chicks chirped with enjoyment.
The rain stopped, and leeks grew in the small patches she opened. She thought maybe she could ask someone what else she could plant. Now that she has chickens, she needs a fence to protect her vegetables.
Twigs and twine are ready-made, just with a bit of effort.
The air was good, the sky was blue, and she remembered a tune, Haydn's "Skylark", the quartet would definitely not be able to do it, humming could, and no one could stop the violin in her heart from staggering. The third movement is a beautiful and vivid minuet, and she even allows herself to jump, and in this corner where God exiles her, she cannot let herself sink into loneliness.
Sweating, Han Zhou was in a much more refreshed mood, she took a breath, brushed her hair, and went to the big kitchen in front, she wanted to find the right tools to grind the minerals she bought.
Lao Deng and Qin's mother were there, Qin's mother didn't know if she was opening a small stove for Lao Deng, she was a little dodgy when she saw Hanzhou, and then she pretended to be calm and asked what was going on. Han Zhou smiled, and said that he would borrow a bowl for pounding things, preferably made of stones, and Qin's mother said that there was only an iron bowl, not a stone. This made Hanzhou a little difficult. Because if it is an iron bowl, it is easy to mix the fallen iron powder during the grinding process, which affects the purity of the pigment.
Lao Deng enthusiastically asked what he wanted to do to see if he could help. Han Zhou told her to grind the medicinal powder. As soon as Lao Deng heard the spirit, Han Zhou didn't understand what was wrong with this person, and suddenly his eyes lit up, could it be because he finally found an opportunity to get close to the beauty?
Han Zhou proudly added another ten points to his appearance.
Lao Deng said, take a look, take a look at me so that I can find the right tool for you, I don't know how big or deep, if the pharmacy doesn't have a more suitable one, our family will make one ourselves.
So, the two followed each other to the back garden, and now, Hanzhou calls it Baicao Garden.
Lao Deng thought to himself, no wonder the old man asked me to stare at her, this person is really weird. If she wasn't beautiful, how dare she come out to meet people so casually? Look, the straw sticks in my hair are still there. The girls went to the street, looked at the silk gauze silk, looked at the rouge gouache, she was good, and plunged into the pottery shop, and I don't know why this freshness can't get by? These days, Xianyang pharmacies have also been visited, right? I don't know what kind of moth this is going to come out of?
There are hundreds of people in the whole family!
The Herb Garden has arrived.
"Brother Deng, can you rest for a while and see what else I can plant in this small piece of land? I went into the house and took things out. ”
Old Deng answered, in fact, he really wanted to go into the house to take a look. In his eyes, this woman is full of secrets.
The thing was taken out, and it was a pack of realgar. Pharmacies have already done some processing when they sell it, but as granules, it is still too coarse, so that the equipment that needs to be ground is correspondingly finer.
"Girl, what are you going to do?" Lao Deng asked curiously.
Hanzhou said: "Make paint, the pigment used on pottery. ”
"Paint?" Old Deng was even more curious.
"Hmm. It doesn't always work, but you have to try it to find out. Don't you think the colors of pottery are too monotonous nowadays? ”
"So, that's what the girl went to the pottery shop for?" Lao Deng asked.
Han Zhou listened, and raised his eyebrows: "Brother Deng saw that I went to the pottery shop?" ”
Lao Deng was stunned, mother, lost his words, and hurriedly said: "Ah, I went out to buy something and ran into it." ”
"Oh." Han Zhou didn't say anything more, just glanced at him meaningfully.
Lao Deng hurriedly changed the topic: "Girl, how fine do you want to grind?" Do you think such a big bowl will work? After speaking, he gestured with his hand.
Han Zhou said: "Don't be too fine, you can't grind it to fly, it should be fine like the flour we eat." The size of the bowl is not important, the important thing is that the bottom should be delicate and the stone should be hard, so that the scum can not be grinded, which affects the purity of the color. ”
Lao Deng thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll do this for you." After speaking, he crossed his waist and looked around, "I see you planting some more radishes here." ”
The radish he is talking about here refers to the white radish, and the leaf in "picking and picking phenanthine, without the body" is kohlrabi, and phenanthrene is radish, which should be white radish.
Han Zhou smiled: "Then ask Brother Deng to find me some vegetable seeds, I don't know anything about farming, but I can do a little stupid work." ”
Old Deng shook his head grinningly, laughed and left. The heart said, are you still stupid? What woman do you think is doing such stupid work as you?
So, tonight's debriefing became about paint and growing vegetables.
The old man frowned and repeated: "Make paint? Paint pottery? ”
Lao Deng nodded cautiously and said, "That's what she said." I saw that she said calmly, and there was some belief in her heart, but whether it was so or not, please consider it. ”
The old man didn't speak again, looked at the clay pots and pottery pots in the house, pondered for a while, and then let Lao Deng go out. Of course, there is still something to do to stay focused, and there is still a need to help when it is time to help.
He didn't think that the color of this pottery should be changed before, but now, when Xiao Han said this, he really felt that this was a problem. Looking at the shelf next to him, he thought, what do you say about this girl's thoughts? It's not enough to describe dexterity.
Maybe it can really get her to do something.
However, she is also really idle.
Think about that lonely garden, alone, can't find a home, can't even think about it, if you don't find something to do, you can't go crazy?
Forget it, if she doesn't have any bad intentions, let her toss!
Hanzhou is indeed lonely, and it is not interesting to sing to yourself at night. I took a copy of the Book of Songs from the study, opened it, and read it a few times, but I was not interested. Dating is someone else's, Xiangyue is someone else's, life and death are also someone else's, she has nothing, she is a different side of the world, she has nowhere to put it.
She will be one person to grow vegetables, one person to eat, one person to grind minerals, one person to bear failure, one person to knock over all the efforts, and then bored to find a new beginning.
The chicks are asleep, and there are some restless sounds, but not as cheerful and lively as during the day. Outside the house, the branches were moving, and there were birds chirping, presumably crows. The cat is crying like a child's crying sound.
This night, his mother's was too long.
Why don't you write something?
Bamboo slips are so hard to use, why don't I try to make them out of paper?
I don't know how to go back, so I have to do something, right? It's not bad to accidentally become a female entrepreneur, isn't there a Ba widow Qing, Qin Shi Huang also ceremoniously built a female Huaiqing platform for her to commemorate. I don't need him to commemorate memorial, I must live longer than him.
……
The dark night always makes people arrogant, as soon as the day dawns, Hanzhou wakes up, or what to do. It's like being a teacher in the past, I often wanted to quit, but I didn't really do it. She thought that her lack of interest might be fate, she was a heartbeat, not a actioner. Nowadays, as a house slave, no matter how big the heart is, the stage is not very big. Let's do what is in front of you.
Today, I have to look at the opportunity to talk about wages, or I can't even continue to improve the food.
After copying a document and sending it in, Li Si took it and looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, and put it aside. Han Zhou didn't retreat, but watched Li Si's movements. Li Si raised his head and looked at Han Zhou, as if he also had something to say. But neither of them spoke, waiting for the other to speak. After waiting for a while, both of them smiled.
Li Si opened his mouth and said: "When I was in the tofu shop, I talked casually and happily, why is it now that I have a share?" ”
Han Zhou smiled and said, "It's not a raw point." Originally, I regarded you as a profound elder, and there was a layer of business relationship, but now that the name has been decided, there is naturally dignity and humility. Hehe, I don't like this feeling of humility, I still think that teachers and students are more cordial, but I don't like it, a certain name makes people do certain things, it is a kind of protection for people and people, in fact, there is nothing bad. ”
Li Si smiled and said generously: "Let's call me sir." ”
Han Zhou thought for a while, and said with a smile: "If Mr. orders, I will listen to Mr." ”
"I heard you're making paint," Lees said. ”
Han Zhou said, "Yes. It's just an experiment, and it's not completely sure whether it will succeed or not. ”
Lees asked, "Is it difficult?" ”
Han Zhou blinked, thought about what he meant, and said honestly: "There are also difficulties, mainly in several aspects. The first is that there are so few varieties of minerals that I can only find them from pharmacies. In addition, there are uncertainties in the process, and some of them have not yet been figured out, so they need to keep trying. In the end, it's the money. I don't know how far my money can sustain this. So, I think, I need your understanding and support. ”
"Oh?" Li Si thought for a moment and asked, "What kind of understanding and support do you need?" ”
Han Zhou said: "Two ways, you can listen. The first is to determine my salary as a clerk, and I will bear the success or failure. The second is that the prime minister does venture capital, and I invest in technology, and if the thing is done, we will get a proportional return. If you fail, of course, you'll lose money, well, I'm just going to get some time and some experience. Now, I'm just thinking of both, and I'm going to hear what you mean. ”
Li Si listened, but did not speak. He has no objection to either way. Because that's not much money. He pondered the way the little cold girl spoke. She is always logical and calm, and she always talks to him, the prime minister of the dynasty, on an equal footing. Although she also said that the name has been determined, and the dignity and humility have been divided, deep down, she does not agree with this gap. There were hundreds of people in the courtyard, including his wife and children, who dared to talk to him like this? What is her confidence?
Seeing that Li Si was staring at her without speaking, Han Zhou smiled and laughed at himself: "This matter may have a vague prospect, so it sounds like a joke." As for me, it doesn't matter, I can't do it or not, I just play and waste my time. It's a big deal to find another project to play with, if that's it. ”
When she said this, thinking of her life experience, it made people feel that the days were bleak, and Li Si smiled comfortingly: "Two ways, whatever you want." You talk to Deng Zi. Whatever you need, just tell him. ”
Han Zhou raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Mr. is so refreshing, Xiao Han has thanked me here." However, sir, you have to think clearly, the tofu business I helped the Hu family make looks like a small business, but it is an exclusive business, and it makes money from the entire Xianyang City. ”
Li Si raised his head and smiled, this Xiaohan is interesting, he does things cleanly and clearly, but people can't say anything displeased. As if he had suddenly thought of something, he said, "Haven't the children been playing with you lately?" ”
Han Zhou shook his head and said, "No, they'd better not come." I have to cover my mouth and nose when I get those medicines, and their children can't grasp the proportions, and it's troublesome to move around. ”
Li Si nodded thoughtfully.
