Chapter 11: The Assassins (1)

After lunch, Dongmei suddenly asked, "Young Valley Lord!" Do you know how our big plates for fish and shrimp and the big and small bowls for medicinal food are made? ”

Yes! The Immortal Medicine Valley is isolated from the outside world, the people in the valley can't get out, the people outside the valley can't come in, where do the various tools and these bowls and dishes used by the people in the valley's daily life come from? Isn't it from the outside world again? Can inanimate things pass through like people?

He was puzzled, so he asked, "How?" Is there a kitchenware workshop here? ”

Dongmei said happily: "You are smart, you guessed right, there is really a small porcelain factory here!" ”

"Then you can take me on a tour, how do they make these dishes?"

Fang Lei couldn't wait, he really wanted to see what these men and women in the valley were doing besides picking mountain herbs to make "medicinal food" to maintain their lives?

The two walked slowly along the shaded path at the foot of the mountain, and the houses of the valley people were built next to this path, and they lived near the mountains, and did not want to build in the valley. Because the valley is low-lying, it will be flooded when it rains heavily, and it is built around the mountains, and it is hidden in the shade of trees, dry and cool. The four seasons here are like spring, the climate is mild, the most suitable for the growth of mountain herbs, this is also the peculiarity of the mysterious space of "Immortal Medicine Valley", no wonder the immortals choose to practice here before becoming immortals!

The valley people live in flat-roofed houses, the walls are made of stones, and the top is covered with stone slabs, which is sturdy and durable, and does not need to be repaired within a thousand years, and he couldn't figure it out, and asked: "Dongmei!" Have you ever seen the valley people build houses? ”

Dongmei said: "I grew up here, have you ever seen someone build a house?" ”

"Then tell me how such a large stone slab on the roof was put up?" Fang Lei asked puzzled.

"There are people building houses not far ahead, I'll take you to visit it, and you will completely understand, and I don't bother to talk in vain, my saliva is dry, you still don't understand!"

"It's good! People say that hearing is false, seeing is believing, and I will understand it at a glance! ”

The two hurried and walked for a while, and sure enough, someone was building a house in front of them, the wall had been completely completed, and they were beginning to cap, everyone saw Dongmei coming over with Fang Lei, and they hurriedly stopped the work in their hands, bowed their hands, and said in unison: "Hello Shaogu Lord!" ”

Fang Leisi returned the salute gently: "Hello everyone! Dongmei and I wanted to come and see how you built the house, so I'm sorry! ”

One of them, Zhang Haisheng, said, "Don't bother! The young valley lord is a god man, he can be safe and sound at the mouth of the valley, and he can turn small fish into big live fish, and the people in the valley admire you, saying that you will have a good mouth in the future, all thanks to the magic of the young valley master! ”

Fang Lei said modestly: "Why worry about it? Get busy! Don't miss your deadline, I'll visit and leave! ”

"Then you can look at it! We're working! Zhang Haisheng seemed to be their little leader, and as soon as he waved his hand, everyone went to work consciously.

Fang Lei saw a small worker stirring a large pile of white mud and asked, "Did you use this mud to penetrate the wall?" ”

The little worker said: "We not only use these mud to penetrate the wall, but also use it to whiten the interior and exterior walls, these mud can be used well, it will dry in three days, and it is as hard as a stone, not afraid of wind and rain, and it will not deteriorate for thousands of years. ”

Fang Lei looked into the house: it turned out that when they built the roof, it was also like a modern building, with wooden pillars on top of it, installing templates, and then laying stone slabs on top of them, pouring white mud into the joints between the stones, and after the mud solidified, the formwork was removed, and the house was built.

He secretly admired in his heart: It seems that the building skills of ancient people are no worse than those of modern people!

Dongmei saw Fang Lei muttering to herself, and reminded: "See clearly, right?" ”

"Look at it! It turned out that they connected the stone slabs one by one, not the whole piece! ”

Dongmei said: "If you see clearly, follow me and take you to visit the porcelain factory!" ”

The two came to a small workshop, and saw that on the wooden shelf in the open space at the door, dishes were placed one by one, exposed to the sun, and there were four or five people in it who were busy working, and Dongmei called inside: "Dad! My daughter brought the young valley master to visit your old man's house! ”

At this time, a man who was painting on the plate put down his paintbrush, stood up, and bowed his hand respectfully: "I have seen the young valley master!" I don't know that the Lord of the Valley is coming, and he is far away! ”

When the other people heard this, they hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Hello Lord Shaogu!" The villain is polite! ”

Fang Lei hurriedly returned the courtesy: "The juniors are new to the school, they don't know how to be polite, so don't be polite!" ”

Dongmei said: "Grandpa all work separately!" The young valley master is a new and new human being, informal, harmless, and does not care about these old rituals! ”

"You stupid girl! The young valley lord is the future successor of the valley lord, the supreme in the valley, we as the valley people, the first time we meet, the etiquette is to pay attention to, do not mess with the valley rules, this is a great disrespect to the young valley lord, you know? ”

Dongmei hurriedly responded: "Got it, Dad!" ”

"It's good to know! lest the people in the valley say that you are an uneducated crazy girl, and your parents will be pointed at the backbone and scolded by the godson for having no way to do it, and insulting the ancestors! ”

"Daddy! You are only in your forties, why are you so verbose like your great-grandfather, teaching your daughter endless lessons! ”

Dongmei knew that her father would count her down in front of Fang Lei, embarrassing her, so she was busy spoiling, knowing that if she did this, her father would feel sorry for her, and she would have less to say.

Sure enough, her father sighed helplessly: "Alas! Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, Dad is for your good! lest you be rude to the valley master in the future, and people themselves don't know what is going on! ”

Fang Lei hurriedly said: "Senior, needless to say, Dongmei is a good girl, she used to serve her wife, and she is still literate with her wife!" Now with me, everyone is young, easy to communicate, easy to communicate, and will not be rude! ”

The so-called "men are happy for their confidants, and women are happy for themselves", Dongmei saw Fang Lei praising her in front of her father, and her heart was very useful, knowing that he had a good impression of herself, she looked at Fang Lei affectionately, and her gratitude arose.

"That's good! I also hope that the young valley master will teach her more, and please bear with me if the language is rude.

Here, the process of making dishes is very simple, the mold is made of two rocks that can absorb water, the material is the soil used in the construction just now, stirred with water and put it on the bottom mold, and then use another mold to squeeze the slurry, take it out when it is half dry, paint the flowers and plants, and put it in the sun to dry.

This kind of dish blank does not need to be calcined at all, it can be used, and it is as solid as a rock, and it will not rot if it falls on the stone floor, but it is a little rough and discarded, just like the current unburned bricks.

Dongmei said: "Dad! Now that the young valley master can turn the fish into a big fish, your old man can draw a big fish in the middle of the plate! ”

"Good! Dad drew a big golden carp in the middle of the plate, hoping that one day, this carp would jump onto the dragon gate! ”

As she spoke, she lifted the paintbrush and made it overnight, Dongmei asked for this saucer, and then left the workshop with Fang Lei, returned to Fang's mansion, had dinner, soaked in a medicinal bath, and Fang Lei returned to the room early to rest.

In the middle of the night, a black shadow swept over the courtyard wall and quietly touched Fang Lei's bedroom, holding a bull-eared knife in his hand, wanting to assassinate Fang Lei.
