When Li Mingyue left, she told Gao Sheng to prepare at least 100 liters of alkaline water within five days, and agreed to have someone send a large vat of alkaline water tomorrow.

Gao Sheng only made one request, asking Li Mingyue to spread the word in the nearby villages in the name of King Zheng's Courtyard, collect the plant ashes of each household, and those who provided the plant ashes to the courtyard could receive a penny per month.

In such a comparison, ordinary people can not make the old face sour by spending only a penny, although it is thin, but it is also large.

Li Mingyue was relieved and suspicious, but she didn't ask why.

Seeing Li Mingyue holding her belly up, she left with the help of Xiao Cui, who was also holding her belly, raised the corners of her mouth, and hummed: "It's only 100 liters in five days, it's too underestimating me." ”

One liter in the Tang Dynasty was equivalent to 600 ml in modern times, so there were only two things that were most scarce in making alkaline water, one was water and the other was plant ash.

At night, the wild boar that had been cut into pieces by the tribe, Gao Sheng took Tian and Zhang Dazhu all salted and made bacon, which is not easy to spoil and taste.

Although this season is not the best time to make bacon, how can you eat more than 300 catties of meat in one time?

What's more, these meats can also be paid for wages, which is much more cost-effective than paying wages directly.

Only by selling it to large households can it be sold at a good price, and the problem is that people don't eat pork.

Sold to ordinary people, it is too expensive to buy, and the value of more than 300 catties of meat cannot be reflected.

Simply, it is used to barter meat and labor with meat.

At dawn the next day, Gao Sheng and Gao Yue moved to Zhang Dazhu's family to borrow, and the construction of the new house officially started.

He handed over the construction of the house to Zhang Dazhu and the Tian couple, and the two were busy in the dark, needless to say.

And he led his daughter Gao Yue back and forth several times from the river beach to his home, stopping from time to time to think, and outsiders didn't know what to do.

took the time to go to Shanghe Village and asked the carpenter to make several large cylinder cars, all of which cost bacon toppers.

After some tossing, three days have passed, and there is no trace of alkaline water.

On the fourth day, when the cart returned, the carpenter set up it by the river and on the low ground, according to his request, and at the same time spent several strips of bacon to make the villagers cut off the penny with the thickness of the bowl, break it from it, and fix it along the road of the cart.

When the installation of the cylinder car is completed, it begins to rotate along the direction of the river, bring water, and then according to inertia, pour water into the bamboo tube, and the water flows all the way along the bamboo tube, and when it is necessary to raise the water level, there is a cylinder car to lift the water into the bamboo tube, and flow directly to his home, so that a simple tap water project is completed.

The villagers in Xiahe Village were full of distractions when they saw the clear river water flowing down the bamboo tube and into the newly dug pond in the Gaosheng courtyard with the help of the cylinder cart on the fourth day.

In the streets and alleys, the elderly village women and their families are short, and the discussion is all about high promotion.

"Gao Jia Saburo is terrible now, he not only knows the nobles in King Zheng's courtyard, but also hunts wild boars, builds houses, and can get tap water, so he can endure it."

"Isn't it, when Gao Jia Saburo wore open crotch pants, I felt that his face was rich and noble, and sooner or later he would soar, but you didn't believe it?"

"It's ridiculous that the Gao family wants to separate from the Gao family."

"You don't know, I heard from the people of Shanghe Village that the Gao family's eldest daughter-in-law, Liu, is going to sell Yaya to Butcher Zhang as a child daughter-in-law."

"This is also vicious, Yaya still calls her aunt, and she can be ruthless."

"Those people in the Gao family are not fuel-efficient lamps, if it weren't for that, the Gao family Saburo and the mother-in-law Chen would have been kicked out of the house."

“……”

The gossip is fierce, but Gao has no time to pay attention, if it weren't for the tight time now, and there is not much money, he has to change the bamboo tube tap water to the channel tap water.

The craftsmen who built the house were all in place, the villagers who helped were also present, and the village women in the village came to help, and the Tian family was all selected for admission.

They couldn't afford to eat lunch, and they could get four cents a day, and there was an endless stream of helpers, and the construction site was in full swing.

Every day, the courtyard not only sent a large amount of plant ash, but also a large water tank, and every time the housekeeper who accompanied him looked at him with a suspicious eye.

There is no shadow of the "fairy water" in the county lord's mouth?

In order to prevent the rain from wetting the grass and wood ashes, Gao Sheng let people build a grass shed, which can block the rain, and the helpers invited are all villagers, and the settlement is naturally bacon.

This settlement method is not unusual, bartering, or bartering was still a common phenomenon in the Tang Dynasty.

Now that the water problem was solved, the other courtyard sent a large amount of plant ash, and on the night of the fourth day, Gao Sheng and Zhang Dazhu stayed up all night to start work, and they didn't close their eyes all night.

On the fifth day, Li Mingyue, who had not been seen for a few days, was dressed in men's clothes, leading the subordinates and servants to drive the ox cart to Xiahe Village.

got out of the carriage and saw that the villagers were building a new house in Gaosheng Courtyard, looking energetic, Li Mingyue sighed slightly, Gao Sheng, this Tian Shehan is quite good at encouraging people.

Nonsense, there is meat to eat, there is money to take, and that common people are not open-minded?

When she saw the grass ash piled up under the grass shed, and saw more than a dozen outlines piled up in the yard next door, she was obviously a little surprised.

Yesterday, I listened to the housekeeper's report, Gao Sheng did not start making alkaline water, but I didn't expect that in one night, Gao Sheng filled more than ten large tanks that can hold 100 liters of water to reduce water, is this person a demon?

The ox carts she brought were too few, not enough to transport so many large vats, so she asked the troops to go back to Shanghe Village to requisition the ox carts.

When she had nothing to do, she found the water supply project in the courtyard of Gao Sheng's house, and her eyes flashed with amazement, and she quickly returned to normal.

Demonic incidents are frequent, and she has gradually begun to adapt.

At this moment, Gao Sheng was lying on the bed and did not wake up, he was woken up by a quick knock on the door.

When he got up and opened the door, he was still a little confused when he saw the shiny armor.

The song explained the intention, he hurriedly put on a single coat and went out of the room, and saw Li Mingyue waiting from a distance, so he hurriedly walked over.

Li Mingyue is still that calm face, even if she let go of eating and drinking regardless of her image a few days ago, but after that, she is still her.

"Little lady." Gao Sheng was busy giving gifts, he didn't wash either, and there was eye feces at the corners of his eyes, and his hair was unkempt.

Seeing him like this, Li Mingyue said: "The five-day deadline has arrived, I came to transport all the 'fairy water' to Chang'an City, what else do you have to explain?" ”

Gao Sheng hurriedly said: "It's just that the way of business is small, please remember the little lady." ”

"Come."

"This way, one is for selling, and the other is for practical results."

"What is effective?"

Li Mingyue was slightly stunned, shouting and selling she understood, and she had seen Gao Sheng's shouting, if it weren't for those few lines of prose poems mixed in the interesting shouting, how could she leave the house and meet Gao Sheng again?

"The first practical person, if you want to sell 'fairy water', you can order a chef to make pastries on the street and distribute them for free, so publicized." Gao Sheng's statement is still the same old.

The corners of Li Mingyue's mouth were lined up, not very satisfied.

Gao Sheng smiled and said: "The second practical person can order people to spread the magic of 'fairy water' everywhere in Chang'an City. ”

Isn't this just a trust, and it's so literate.

Li Mingyue quickly regained her calm look, and said, "Your belly is full of flowers. ”

Gao Sheng said cheekily; "The family is surrounded by walls, and there is nothing to be done, so it is the only way."

is so cunning, and he actually speaks in a high-sounding manner, this character is enough......
