Chapter 9 There is a way to make money
Yang Bo quickly realized that just a revolver is useless, you can't use this gun to rob a bank, okay, even if there is no bank, the money bank can't rob it, right?
Yang Bo was depressed, and the departure of Ma Daochang also had a great impact on him, Yang Bo felt a sudden sense of loneliness in his heart, after all, Ma Daochang was also a traverser, they were the same kind of people. Now Yang Bo has to face everything alone, and his heart is tense for a while.
Yang Bo was restless, he put himself on the seat on his back, and posed in the shape of Ge You lying down, where Ma Daochang took a short nap.
As soon as he lay down, Leshui came to look for him, the door was open, but Leshui still knocked on the door twice politely.
"Senior brother..."Le Shui shouted with a sad face, Yang Bo saw that it was Le Shui, Zhenyi sat up, and asked urgently: "Le Shui, where do you still have money?" ”
Leshui sighed, turned around and left quickly, and after a while, Leshui came back with money in his robe, it seemed that there was a lot of money, Leshui poured the money on the wooden table, all copper plates.
The heads of the two people came together, and they counted one by one, and they got three hundred and seventy-two eldest sons, which was still the money for Leshui to buy vegetables. Coupled with the ten taels of silver reward given by Shen Yanqing, they had a total of ten taels of silver and three hundred and seventy-two copper plates.
Yang Bo grinned and was silent, Le Shui raised his face and asked, "Senior brother, the two guys in the alcohol room are looking for me, I am here to ask if the alcohol still wants to continue?" ”
"Let's see." Yang Bo was a little helpless, and with a whistle, the black dots followed.
Uh-uh-y-h-hmm-y
Le Ping hated that he couldn't break a copper plate in half, and no one could eat meat in Shimiao, where would there be silver to buy meat for the black spot?
Coming to the backyard, Yang Bo saw that the door of Ma Daochang's clinic was closed, which meant that there was no income from treating diseases and saving people, Yang Bo glanced at Leshui, although Leshui also followed Ma Daochang to learn medical skills, but he is only thirteen years old now, and what about himself? He's really bleeding, don't count on it in the clinic.
In the past few years, Ma Daochang has made him famous with Ma Yi's acupuncture and moxibustion skills, as well as the treatment of external injuries with alcohol disinfection and sheep intestine sutures.
He also did not hide his personal interests, and actively promoted it in the Liaodong Army, where there are doctors who use surgery to treat traumatic patients in the army, which greatly reduces the death rate of Ming officers and soldiers. Yang Bo sincerely admired.
Ma Daochang is a man of noble character.
The problem is that you taught the apprentice and starved the master to death, obviously, everyone will do it, and no one will come to the stone temple to buy it, Yang Bo is extremely depressed.
They came to the front of the alcohol room and met the two guys who were working, Zhou Zheng and Ding Jiu. This batch needs to be made for a hundred catties, and it is almost finished.
Ma Daochang usually bought soju in Shenjiabao, hired a man temporarily, and purified the soju with a rectifier in the alcohol room, and the alcohol content made was about 85 degrees, which could be used for medical treatment.
After chatting with the two guys, Yang Bo learned that they were nearby salt farmers, and Ma Daochang invited them to work from time to time, and they had been cooperating for several years. Yang Bo saw that there were still mantissa in this batch, so he ordered them to continue to do it and settle the bill with them when they were done.
When it came to the checkout, Yang Bo had another pain in his flesh.
Last time Ma Daochang took him to visit, he didn't go to the alcohol room, Yang Bo looked around by the way, but there was a new discovery, there was a miniature stove erected behind the alcohol still, placed in the corner, inconspicuous, leaning over to sniff, a smell of gasoline, Yang Bo also found that there were some oil bases in the small warehouse.
Yang Bo immediately understood that this was probably the source of T/N/T in Ma Daochang's 'laboratory' records, and in the final analysis, it was also a petrochemical product, and it was impossible to make it without thermal oil extraction.
Mr. Ma, you're too far ahead of your time.
With this new discovery, Yang Bo decided to search Ma Daochang's 'laboratory', and there may be new discoveries, and more importantly, maybe it is undecided where Ma Daochang hid the silver.
In the 'laboratory', Yang Bo did not spare any corner, until he was convinced that there was no silver tael here.
Yang Bo found that Ma Daochang had stored a lot of white phosphorus, which was passivated with grease and stored in clay pots, which were marked with chemical symbols. But there are no dangerous things like mine/mercury, T/N/T, etc.
Silver, silver, silver....
Yang Bo whispered in his heart over and over again, but the silver did not appear. He walked out of the 'lab' disappointed, not finding even a single copper.
Yang Bo frowned and thought, he remembered that on the boat, Mr. Ma bragged to him, because he selflessly offered surgical sutures, and the commander of Dongjiang Town, Mao Wenlong, rewarded him with how much silver, and it was only a few days after he got off the boat, and he couldn't find a single tael of silver in the stone temple?
Hiss... That's not right... This Ma Dao Chang isn't deliberately manipulating me, is he?
After thinking about it, the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt, this was definitely a conspiracy.
Ma Daochang did not say in his letter, 'The limit has come, and I will go for the teacher', he just hid.
But why did he do that?
Just because he took his class, Yang Bo often skipped class?
Of course it can't be, hate iron but not steel, want to see his jokes? This is possible, otherwise this old man will take a whisk and smoke him every day if he has nothing to do?
'Am I really that weak?' ’
Yang Bo touched his face, his face was very immature, he had not yet grown the male beard that made him smug, and there were only thin and soft fluff on his lips, Yang Bo couldn't help but shake his head regretfully.
"Senior brother, what are you doing?" Leshui on the side was puzzled by Yang Bo's confused behavior and asked curiously.
Yang Bo was excited, his old face turned red, and he said: "This... This..."Yang Bo looked left and right about it, he was looking for it, Yang Bo saw the two guys who made alcohol out of the corner of his eyes, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, so he said calmly: "Without silver, we can also earn it, I don't believe it, without Zhang Butcher, we have to eat hairy pigs?" ”
Yang Bo really had a flash of inspiration, in this era, there are no petrochemical products, no gasoline, diesel and kerosene, in fact, alcohol is a good fuel.
Yang Bo had eaten hot pot with alcohol as fuel in his previous life, and using alcohol as fuel to make hot pot was a very good idea, which is called making money.
Yang Bo looked overjoyed, he glanced at Leshui who was looking at him with interest, "Leshui is too thin, he looks like bean sprouts, it seems that Ma Daochang didn't take good care of him." In the future, if I can earn silver, I will definitely raise Leshui for nothing. ’
"Leshui, let's go to the street, I'll take you to make a few new sets of clothes." Yang Bo said with great interest.
Yang Bo's happy mood infected Leshui, and the corners of Leshui's mouth also had a slight smile.
Yang Bo whistled several times in a row, beckoning the black dot to follow closely, two people and one dog, to be precise, two people and one wolf, went to the street.
Walking on the road, Yang Bo felt panicked in his armpits, because he had a revolver hidden under his armpit.
Yang Bo suddenly remembered that there was no iron-making furnace in the stone temple, and he seemed to only see some simple tools such as files and vices, could he make a revolver with these things? Ma Daochang should have foreign aid.
Yang Bo asked Leshui: "Who does Master usually associate with?" ”
"Sick man." Leshui Qidao.
"Except for the sick?"
"Except for the patients..."Le Shui tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "Last year, there was a blacksmith master, named Gan Xin, who often came to the stone temple. He had a blacksmith's shop, which we could see on the road. ”
When passing by the blacksmith shop, Le Shui pointed his finger and said, "That is Master Gan's blacksmith shop." ”
A blacksmith was in the shed in front of the shop, clanging an iron nail.
This person was a blacksmith, and he was very enthusiastic when he saw that the two apprentices of Ma Daochang were coming. Obviously, Ma Daochang gave him a lot of business before, maybe Ma Daochang's stoves might have helped the blacksmith as well.
Yang Bo looked around, this blacksmith shop is not large, there are three shops in the back, and there are a few guys working in it.
In front is a makeshift shed with air leaks on all sides. Inside was an iron-making furnace more than one person high, which was much larger than the stove with a long horse road.
Yang Bo asked, "Master Gan, what iron parts have you made?" ”
"That's too much, we will cast whatever is used on the ship, iron and bronze, gold pendants, iron anchors, etc. Don't hide it from the son, I used to work in the official military guard, and I even fought with firearms. ”
Gan Xin actually worked in the health office, which was unexpected by Yang Bo.
Yang Bo took out the revolver in his armpit and asked Gan Xin: "Master Gan, have you seen this?" ”
Gan blacksmith took the gun, looked up and down curiously, left and right, and pulled the trigger a few times, but there was no bullet in this gun, because Yang Bo was not confident in Ma Daochang's pistol, and he was afraid of misfire, so he loaded the bullet and removed it.
As for why put a pistol without bullets in the armpit? Load*.
Yang Bo looked at Blacksmith Gan's expression, obviously Blacksmith Gan didn't know what this revolver was.
"This tube looks familiar, oops, I remember, was it the year before last or last year? Ma Shenxian asked me to make this pipe, and this frame, and this iron lump... The horse fairy was put together, and after a long time, I forgot about it, hehe" Gan Xin scratched his head and said with an embarrassed smile.
That's right, Ma Daochang also has an extra heart, just let the parts one by one to Gan blacksmith to do, take the parts back, he himself used a vice file and then polished it by hand, and then assembled it together, no wonder Gan Xin couldn't recognize it when he saw what he made.
Leaving the blacksmith shop, Yang Bo found a tailor shop in Ji Ji and dodged in.
Today is really a coincidence, I never thought that Shen Yanqing was also in it with a teenager, and Xiang'er was with her, of course.
"Yo, who is it? It turned out to be Yang Dagongzi. Shen Yanqing's tone was not good, and there was a sneer on her face.
Xiang'er stood on the side, pouting her small mouth, her nostrils facing the sky, and she didn't look at Yang Bo. Thinking of the unbearable dream that night, he felt that he had stripped Xiang'er's clothes again at a glance, Yang Bo immediately blushed and hurriedly turned his eyes.
