Chapter 112: Bet a tael
What propaganda is, Zhang Qiben didn't understand, but he is also an experienced person, after he saw Su Qiqi's calm expression and explained clearly what propaganda is, he was immediately full of interest: "Okay, little master, what do you want me to promote, just say, I will cover you with more than half of the whole village that day!" ”
Su Qiqi said lightly: "Please come and participate in the pier smashing competition, who can smash our stone pier in three hammers, a reward of one or two silver!" ”
This time it was not only Zhang Qiben who was surprised, but also Qi Sanming and Zhou Zhengqiang, who said to Ji Wenchen as if they had seen a ghost in their eyes: "Master, didn't Uncle Mo really encounter a fox spirit?" Otherwise, how can you be crazy? ”
Su Qiqi raised his foot and gave him a kick: "You're crazy!" Thinking about a vixen every day, thinking about your daughter-in-law and thinking about it? Senior brother, punish these two people for running errands in the afternoon! ”
The vitality of the little junior brother made Ji Wenchen's heart feel indescribably comfortable, and he immediately answered: "These two people will be used by you in the afternoon!" ”
"Huh?"
"Ah, master..."Qi Sanming looked, although the master had a Guan Gong face, but he was never a yin person. This little uncle obviously has a fairy face, but his means... It's over this afternoon!
With two bitter gourd faces, Su Qiqi laughed loudly: "Great..."
She found that there is a modern saying that is too classic for these two young men: Abuse is healthier!
On the way back to Zhang Housheng's house, seeing that there was no one left and right, Ji Wenchen couldn't help but ask: "Qiqi, are you really sure about this?" I've never heard of a mound being smashed with a hammer in this world, you..."
An undergraduate student majoring in architecture, no matter how bad he is, he will always master this little thing. But how do you tell him and believe it? After thinking for a long time, Su Qiqi turned around and looked at Ji Wenchen seriously and asked, "Senior brother, there are some things I want to tell you, because it is a little incredible, so I don't know if you will be afraid." ”
Seeing that the little junior brother was so serious, Ji Wenchen's face was stunned: "Qiqi, senior brother is a person who has seen blood on the battlefield, I have never been afraid of thousands of troops and horses, I can be afraid of what you say?" Just say, I'm fine. ”
Hearing this, Su Qiqi smiled lightly and asked simply: "Senior brother, do you believe that there are gods and ghosts in this world?" ”
Ghost? Whether there are ghosts in this world, he really doesn't know.
But for some reason, Ji Wenchen couldn't help nodding: "Qiqi said that there is, I will believe it." ”
Su Qiqi didn't know whether to be moved or laughed at him for having a sick brain, she said that she would believe him if she had it? Didn't he tell her clearly that she sold him, and he still helped her calculate the money? Since that's the case, then she will make it up at will.
"Senior brother, do you remember when I was seven years old? I fell asleep for three days that year, but I didn't fall asleep for those three days. Of course, I'm still a little confused, I don't know if it's a dream or if it's really a soul drifting to another place. I found myself attached to another person and went to study in a big school for three years. And that school is not our school here, it is a school that specializes in building tall houses.
Senior brother, you wouldn't think that the house there can create many floors, and it is not afraid of wind, rain or snow. At the time, I didn't understand why the houses were so powerful, but I later learned that the materials used to build the houses there were a little different from ours. The most different thing is on this yellow mud paddle......"
After Su Qiqi finished speaking, Ji Wenchen was almost stunned, and he muttered and repeated: "It is incredible, incredible, incredible..."
Su Qiqi didn't answer, she knew that Ji Wenchen needed time to digest her words, and she didn't plan to force him to accept her ideas, after all, she would use a lot of things that would be used in this era in the future. If he can't truly believe in her heart that everything is normal with her, then it will be difficult for him to be suspicious in the future.
Besides, every time she needs to lie to cover it up, how many times will she lie in her life? It's better to tell a big lie and make him believe it all the time.
Thinking that this thing was too mysterious, it took a long time for Ji Wenchen to say solemnly: "Qiqi, no one is allowed to say anything about this in the future, do you know?" ”
Su Qiqi smiled sweetly at him: "In this world, I will only share my secrets with my senior brother, and no one else!" ”
Looking at the little junior brother in front of him who trusted him like a relative, Ji Wenchen's heart was stuffed: "Qiqi, senior brother will definitely not tell anyone about today's incident!" ”
"Good!"
He believed it!
Ji Wenchen also pondered on the new oar-making method: "Qiqi, if this new oar-making method really has such a good effect, then our business will be more prosperous in the future." ”
Su Qiqi blinked and asked him, "Senior brother, will we make a lot of money when the business is good?" ”
"Poof, do you only have silver in your eyes? Just like the silver? Ji Wenchen looked at her playfully and asked.
Su Qiqi's head darkened, and his tone became heavy: "If there is no silver in this world, it will be difficult to move an inch, and if we had silver in the drought that year, we would not almost starve to death." Back then, if we had money, then my brother wouldn't have to be a soldier to fight. If we have a lot of silver, my mother doesn't have to grow vegetables herself, and if we have silver, my father won't use a stone knife for raw embroidery..."
"Seventy-seven..."
As soon as Ji Wenchen called this, Su Qiqi realized that his face was full of tears: "Senior brother, I'm fine." ”
Ji Wenchen took her hand and said, "Qiqi, when the master leaves, I will explain again and again, everything is the destiny of heaven." The destiny of heaven cannot be violated, can't you think about these unhappy things in the future, do you know? The master and the lady are in the spirit of the sky, and they all want to see you live happily. Don't be sad, we have this method of making oars, if it really has such a good effect, senior brother guarantees that we will have a better and better life in the future. ”
Su Qiqi wiped away the tears on his face and said with a smile: "Senior brother, I'm not sad, I just miss my father." You said that if our business gets better and better in the future, can we form a team that specializes in building houses? For example, let's go to contract some relatively large business, not counting Japanese silver, but how much silver is used to cover the entire business of Shiji. We have too few people, how about asking someone else to do it for us? ”
Ji Wenchen's eyes lit up: "How did you come up with this?" That's a good idea. ”
Su Qiqi's eyes puffed: "Senior brother, aren't the people who guard the shop all invited by the owner?" And there is no store where the owner makes it himself. ”
"Hahaha, Qiqi is smart, and he can think of these things from this little thing. I think your method is good, when the senior brother finds more big business, and then asks a group of people to help, we will wait to be the master. Ji Wenchen was in a happy mood.
Su Qiqi tilted his head and denied: "No, senior brother, I am not a master." ”
Ji Wenchen looked at her like that and smiled and asked, "Then what do you want to be?" ”
Su Qiqi pretended to think and said, "I just want to be a military advisor and housekeeper for my senior brother!" ”
This time, Ji Wenchen couldn't help laughing out loud anymore: "Oh, it turns out that Qiqi wants to manage the silver!" ”
Su Qiqi said as if it were true or false: "Well, I want to give my senior brother a lifetime of silver!" What do you think? ”
Ji Wenchen was stunned, but then nodded and said, "Okay, senior brother let Qiqi take care of the silver for a lifetime!" ”
Su Qiqi squinted his eyes and looked at Ji Wenchen's eyes, and asked very seriously: "Senior brother, you won't lie to me, right?" For a lifetime! ”
Alas, what a child! How long is this life, he still doesn't understand? When will he be big? Become a sensible man? It seems that the burden on his shoulders is still very heavy.
Seeing that he didn't answer, he wouldn't give up, Ji Wenchen nodded with a smile and said: "It's a lifetime, it's a lifetime, senior brother will never lie to Qiqi, unless one day Qiqi is unwilling to take care of it, senior brother will take care of it himself!" ”
Ji Wenchen didn't expect that such a joke would hand over the financial power of the second half of his life to this insidious junior brother!
Su Qiqi smiled secretly on the side: This financial power is in my hands, I see that you can still escape my palm!
Hearing this, Su Qiqi was in a good mood, she broke a willow branch on the side of the road and made a straw hat to put on, and then jumped forward and took his hand, tilted her head sideways, looked at Ji Wenchen and said, "In this world, I only believe in my senior brother." ”
The pair of smart big eyes in front of him and a small face with a smile like a flower made Ji Wenchen's heart tremble, and he had a desire to reach out and touch her little face. Just when he wanted to stretch out his hand, he remembered that his little junior brother was a boy, and he was thirteen years old, so Ji Wenchen immediately straightened his face and shouted: "Qiqi, a boy walks well, what do you do when you jump around!" And don't laugh like that in the future! ”
Su Qiqi, who was so excited just now that he seemed to have drunk two packs of coffee, was suddenly startled by Ji Wenchen's drink, and was immediately poured with a basin of ice water, and his little face immediately stepped down, seeing that Ji Wenchen seemed to be really angry, he had to say in a low voice: "Got it!" ”
Ji Wenchen stepped forward and took off her willow branch hat and threw it on the side of the road and said, "You are already a big boy, you can't say these children's actions again, otherwise you will make others laugh." ”
"Oh!" A listless voice.
"Alas!" A helpless sigh.
Back at Zhang Housheng's house, Ji Wenchen went to the main house, and when he came back, he said to Su Qiqi with a smile, "Qiqi, Uncle Zhang agreed." He said that ten catties of glutinous rice will be soaked as required tonight, and it will be steamed into glutinous rice tomorrow morning, and he has brown sugar at home, so he can start this matter tomorrow. ”
Su Qiqi was very excited when she heard this, and when she heard Uncle Zhang's family saying that the glutinous rice was ready, she immediately commanded Qi Sanming and Zhou Zhengqiang to move the stone stable where the Zhang family was making glutinous rice, poured the glutinous rice into it, and began to dig it out in proportion.
The lime, loess and river sand that had already been filial piety had been mixed in proportion, and Su Qiqi asked Ji Wenchen to pour some of the glutinous rice juice and pig's blood into it, and kept turning it with a shovel until it was completely mixed.
