Black smoke billowing out!

Standing on the tea stall by the Lugou Bridge, you can clearly see the big chimney in the distance, which is spitting billowing black smoke.

"Hey, we started working from the Lugou brick factory, let's"

"That's the big chimney of the Lugou brick factory."

"As soon as the big chimney smoked, I don't know how many cellars stopped working, and how many people lost their livelihoods."

"Old Liu, what are you talking nonsense, what do you mean that you have no livelihood, didn't you see that those guys in Lijiajiao have gone to the Lugou brickyard, they pile up blanks and transport bricks in the cellar, but they all have to hire workers."

"The owner of the Li farm is dead, and the bricks can't be sold......"

"His bricks are sold three or four percent more expensive than the Lugou factory, who will buy it......"

"That is, the red bricks burned by the Lugou factory are ...... stronger than the green bricks."

For many people, they just watched the excitement, but for Zhang Taizheng, who was sitting at the tea stall, his eyes were fixed on the towering chimney.

"Edwin ......"

With the name in his mouth, a fierce color flashed in Zhang Taizheng's eyes. Even though a few months have passed, the humiliation that Shi Yiwen brought him still makes him angry every time he thinks about it.

Originally, for Zhang Taizheng, he hoped to marry Tang Ziqi, and then get the Tang family's family business, he was born in the Shanxi salt merchant family, and he saw things very realistically, the Tang family's family business was enough for him to be used for several generations, and even his father was extremely supportive of this, and he always took care of the Tang family's business.

But the slut didn't appreciate it, and while rejecting him, he actually mixed up with the "barbarian" from overseas, and even the two might have hooked up and become adulterous. Thinking of this, Zhang Taizheng's face became even more ugly.

The house slave on the side saw the change in the young master's face, so he reminded softly.

"Young master, the master has instructed you not to cause trouble this time......"

When the domestic slave took the master out to press him again, Zhang Taizheng's eyebrows raised, and when he was about to be annoyed, suddenly, as if he had seen something, he was surprised.

"Huh! That's ......"

After a moment of surprise, he muttered again.

"Didn't you say she went to the temple, how did she get here?"

Then he muttered to himself.

"Do they know?"

Although he didn't know how they met, Zhang Taizheng was still quite excited and even surprised and turned his head to the house slave and commanded.

"Liuhe, you follow that little ...... just now Childe, look where he's going. ”

"Young Master?"

Zhang Liuhe didn't want to talk here, so he listened to Zhang Taizheng speak.

"If you want to follow you, you will follow, what do you say."

As he said this, he stared at the man's back with a sneer on his face.

Zhang Jingxiu, who was riding on a horse, raised his eyebrows lightly and whispered when he saw the big chimney in the distance.

"I don't know what the man came up with."

Every time I see him, I always feel that this person can make something new, and perhaps, it is this freshness that attracts him.

However, what disappointed Zhang Jingxiu today was that when he came to the factory, Shi Yiwen, who used to be in the factory, was not here today.

"In Zhuangzi?"

Hearing this, Zhang Jingxiu's eyebrows raised, and he said with some anger.

"This person, didn't he stay in the factory in the past, why did he stay in the Zhuangzi today."

Displeasure is displeased, people are not here, he is naturally inconvenient to enter the factory, just casually asked, after knowing that the big chimney is the chimney of a brick cellar, he was puzzled and said goodbye to Xu Sicheng and went back to the city. However, before returning to the city, he deliberately went to the construction site of the "Coal Road", and the price of coal in the capital has risen for a while, but it has been written in the newspaper. According to the newspaper, as soon as the "coal road" is completed, the price of coal in the capital will drop immediately.

In fact, a section of the coal road has been built, just like between Wanping and the capital, a section has been built, on the rammed roadbed, the black wooden track paving has been stretching for dozens of miles, and on the wooden rail, there is even a layer of iron plate nailed.

"This person can always come up with something new, and I don't know, how can this carriage run on this?"

As for Shi Yiwen, who is on the other side of the capital, of course he doesn't know that his old friend went to the factory to look for him, and the reason why he stayed in the city in the past two days is that he is busy with another thing.

Because he promised Zhu Yijun to let him eat at the opening of a restaurant, but now after the restaurant opens, he has encountered a problem - there is no good chef.

In fact, it is no wonder that the good chefs in the capital are either in the palace or in the mansions of those powerful, in contrast, the skills of other chefs are average, and because of this, Shi Yiwen specially sent the cooks in Zhuangzi - they have received short-term guidance from Kou Yun, and originally thought that they should be able to make up, but they never thought that there are some things that can be made up casually if they don't want to.

Because the chef in the restaurant cooks very ordinary food, Zhu Yijun has been here a few times, and he is not interested.

This can't be done, for Shi Yiwen, who has always paid attention to doing things from beginning to end, of course he doesn't want to see this matter give up halfway, of course, more importantly - he can't lose money, this is an investment of thousands of taels, saying that it is to make Zhu Yijun eat fresh, but in the final analysis, he is making money in the end.

So, without the slightest hesitation, after learning that the hotel had lost money for two months, especially after knowing that he would lose hundreds of taels of silver every month, Shi Yiwen could tolerate such a loss of "Yishanzhuang", especially his own "Yishanzhuang" sign.

This is too big, and it has to be brought back.

After entering the kitchen, Shi Yiwen looked at the chef and assistant chef standing there, these people obviously knew the situation in the restaurant now, and they all hung their heads with some shame, after all, the business of the hotel is directly related to the food, they are from Zhuangzi, they are the Zhuang slaves in Zhuangzi, and now they lose money and naturally feel that they have no face to see the owner.

Seeing this, Shi Yiwen said.

"Now how is the business of our "Yi Shan Zhuang", everyone has seen it, the business of this restaurant is good or bad, one is the taste, the other is the dish, but these two ......"

Looking at the more than 20 dishes on the table that they copied out, it didn't look good, but it tasted ...... It's really average, and the dishes are not new.

"It's not good, of course, it's my fault for this, after all, the Kou family's cuisine is exquisite, and it can't be learned for a while. However, we can't learn Kou's cuisine, we can learn other dishes. ”

While speaking, Shi Yiwen took out a book casually, and then handed the book to Xu Mingkun, he is a cook in Zhuangzi, and it has been passed down to his generation for three generations, and his cooking skills are really good...... No way.

"From now on, I'll do what I cook."
