Chapter 030: Dead Fish Rest
Shu Hui didn't know that his signboard had been consumed and had become the mascot of a cult pyramid gang.
This gang of swindlers not only seeks money, but the most hateful thing is that they also boast that they can save grain seeds, and that after the grain seedlings are pulled, they can also avoid the tedious labor of weeding and watering, which is purely fatal!
It is foreseeable that farmers who find out early that Kim is a scam will lose at least half of their harvest, while those who do not want to accept the reality may lose their harvest.
The loss of the peasants who mortgaged the property of the Turtle Sect for loan was relatively small, because once the money was reported to the government, they naturally did not have to pay it back. However, in order to reduce the interest rate, not many people choose to mortgage directly in the hands of the Turtle Worship, even if they are tight for a while, they will quickly split or borrow from elsewhere to repay the usury of the Turtle Worship Sect first.
The biggest losers are those who have a "long-term vision", "a careful budget", and "will get by". They joined the Turtle Worship Sect and got a membership card, thinking that they could save a lot of money. However, once the delivery of the land is completed, the Turtle Sect pats its ass and runs away, how can it still keep its promise to continue to hand over the five acres of Yongye field to the believers for farming? Of course, I sold it.
After this lack of morality is done, they take the benefits, who should carry the black cauldron?
"I don't carry this pot!" The next morning, after listening to Ao Run's account of the purpose of this trip to deal with the matter of worshipping the turtle sect and Jin Qila, Shu Hui was so angry that he almost kicked over the cauldron that was boiling a concentrated caustic soda solution, and the sleepiness left by last night because he was not used to the bed was all gone.
Ao Guang also looked at his third brother in surprise, and wanted to ask him if he had such a thing, why he didn't tell him directly last night, but today he told the young master in front of him.
However, Ao Yan had no intention of making eye contact with him. If he hadn't received the news this morning that the gods of the Turtle Sect had appeared on the rubble slope last night, he would have always thought that maybe Shu Hui was making extra money, would he have to say this kind of thing?
After all, there is no full-time secret agent who monitors the monk's path in the territory of Qiongzhou, and Ao Yan has only been here for four or five days. The sporadic information I received from my colleagues by the way was not detailed enough after all. When Ao Yan's own intelligence was established, it was the first time he got the complete information of the sale site of Jin Kela.
Before this, Ao Yan's superiors had always planned for both hands. If someone pretends to be Shu Hui to cheat, of course, it is easy to say, just hack to death. But if it was really Shu Hui's own actions, it would be a trivial matter for him to make some money by relying on his supernatural powers, and he could bear it if he passed on the teachings, but Ao Guang and Hongyu didn't say a word about it, but they needed to be careful.
After all, if there is no dissent, why hide it from His Majesty and Niangniang? The purpose of Ao Yan's trip is mainly to verify this point. I grabbed a minion who didn't know what to do before, just to vaguely remind Ao Guang that if you have anything, prepare early.
Because Ao Yan's superior is his father, one of Li Shimin's twelve personal guards secret agents - Ao Xiong!
Ao Xiong realized that his son might be making a mistake and quickly asked another son to investigate. It's best if there is nothing, and you can work together to deal with something.
But this kind of thing can't be said explicitly. No one can say whether there are other guards and secret agents who sent their subordinates to supervise the two, and they must know that the wall has ears, and they can't blatantly give people a handle. What's more, if it is a false alarm, there is no need to tell all the reasons and discernment, which will affect the trust and feelings between each other.
Seeing that the caustic soda dilute solution prepared by the caustic soda method with soda ash and lime water using the causticizing method had been concentrated to the point that crystals began to precipitate at the bottom of the pot, Shu Hui loudly ordered the fire apprentice who was caught from the kitchen of Shifanglou to poke the fire into a small spot, and then let the raw tung oil slowly pour into the caustic soda solution.
At this time, he commanded another fellow to keep stirring the tung oil and caustic soda solution, and when he saw that the soap began to slowly form, he suddenly remembered a question as if he had just woken up from a dream.
"No, who gave their dogs the audacity to take my name, not afraid of retribution?"
The three of them twitched their cheeks neatly, thinking to themselves that you didn't even know that this had happened, how could you give them retribution? Redfish has a more flexible brain, but after all, it is not deeply involved in the world. However, because of the perennial contact, Ao Yan more or less knew some of the situation, and after reacting to Shu Hui's true meaning, he explained:
"As far as I know so far, the leader of this turtle worship sect is not clear, but the backbone is all monks. These people have been in contact with rituals such as sacrifices and prayers all year round, and they are the closest to gods and Buddhas in the eyes of the world. Xu has been in contact with the gods and Buddhas for a long time, and he has less reverence for the gods and Buddhas, but he has not been punished; Or maybe they are regarded as archmages in order to make a living, thinking that they can communicate with ghosts and gods, so they themselves think that the things of ghosts and gods are as false as their abilities......"
Ao Yan didn't say the latter explicitly, but Shu Hui also knew that this kind of person was no longer afraid of any retribution. But Shu Hui always felt that things would not be so simple, and there was no reason why so many people would dare to use the name of a living god.
Unless...... They have proven that even if they are disrespectful to themselves, they will not be punished!
"Oh no, I forgot to add the petals!" Shu Hui was a little distracted, and suddenly saw a basket containing several dried flowers and fresh osmanthus petals next to him, which were one of the few flowers that were now in bloom and were commonly planted. In addition, there are four spices in the basket: frankincense, musk, agarwood and cloves.
Hurriedly asked the red fish to sprinkle the dried petals into the pot, which should have been added before putting oil in the caustic soda solution to start the saponification reaction, and it was better to put them at this time than nothing.
After stirring for a while, seeing that the saponification was almost complete, he asked the people to divide the pots according to the types of spices, and then moved them to the eaves of the corridor where he and the three of them were standing, and asked the red fish to add spices and milk to each pot. There should be a margin of tung oil, but in order to protect the skin from being burned by excess caustic soda, it is necessary to separate most of the oil by layering after standing.
waved his hand to let the few guys who had just set up a pot and light a fire in the garden retreat, and then Shu Hui continued to think about the question just now.
"Where did I just think of it? Big...... Big, oh yes, big disrespect, someone is so disrespectful to me. ”
Shu Hui regained that hint of inspiration.
"I can't let this bastard go, in order to overcome the fear of the gods, maybe someone is peeing on my head at this time!"
……
"Fat chicken, if the information you provide is accurate, it is really worth five hundred taels of silver, then this time it will be a great contribution to the sect."
A black-robed Taoist with a thin physique led a single-eyelid fat chicken to walk in a deserted bamboo forest outside the north gate of Linqiong City. When he was about to walk out of the bamboo forest and could faintly see the village below, he pulled the fat chicken and stopped.
"Your deeds are enough to become an altar master, but there is still a test before that. You just held your pee, remember, right? You're going to stand here and pee on the bottle that peeks out of the cane under this ridge, and if you can fill half of it, you'll pass. ”
……
Shu Hui thought that this group of Turtle Worshippers was so hateful, and after Ao Yan cleaned them up, he must entertain a few leaders well. While there is still time to think about it, don't be too light to be despised by these bastards, who think the gods lack imagination.
"I was too involved just now to pay attention to when Ao Yan left, I should say hello to him, in case he escorts people directly to Jingshi, it will be bad." Shu Huichao thought with a grudge.
Redfish adds the last box of finely ground agarwood powder and thick milk to a basin of soap, and then stirs it well. Looking at the translucent liquid that turned from clear tung oil to white and yellowish in front of her, she could clearly feel that it became extraordinarily viscous when stirred, but it blended with milk, water, water, milk, and milk, and she couldn't help but ask:
"Young master, is this what you mean by soap? It's amazing, it's much more beautiful than the pancreas, is there anything else you won't do, young master? ”
When Shu Hui heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little proud. Handmade soap was popular for a long time when he was in college.
At that time, Shu Hui had a roommate who believed the words of the micro-business, thinking that handmade soap was better for the skin than the products of the big factory. However, he did not buy high-priced handmade soap as the netizen who gave him Anli handmade soap, but made it himself.
Because Shu Hui's roommate believes that just like handmade soap is to industrial soap, other people's handmade soap is of course not as safe as their own handmade soap. It is not clear how Shu Hui will end up with his skin, but under the influence of his ears and eyes, this craft, which has been popular among housewives for a while, has been passively mastered by Shu Hui.
Of course, at that time, it was directly mail-order sodium hydroxide products, and Shuhui also needed to use causticization to prepare from soda ash and lime in the Tang Dynasty. Fortunately, this is Shangzhou Prefecture, otherwise it would not be easy to get together the raw materials in such a hurry.
To say that he can do everything, that's impossible. Shu Hui waved his hand modestly: "Where, where, at least there are stupid things I can't do", while carving a piece of wood from the firewood room into several soap molds with a dark shelter.
The reaction of the freshly mixed soap is not sufficient, and it needs to be placed in a box and wait for it to solidify and slowly mature. Shu Hui heard that it takes about 50 days for additive-free natural handmade soap to mature, otherwise the residual caustic soda will damage the skin. True or not, that's all he knew.
Shu Hui piled a bunch of boxes carved into molds on the ground and instructed Hongyu: "Go find a guy and ask him to find someone to paint all these boxes with easy-to-dry white paint, and then get them back quickly." ”
"Yes, young master...... Hey, isn't this the silver collar used for Nagong? Hongyu looked at the mold of the classic pork kidney-shaped soap style that Shu Hui carved at the end, and said a little strangely.
Shu Hui smiled slightly, he didn't know what a silver collar was, what a silver boat was, he only knew that Shu Fujia was a loving mother who took care of the whole family.
Seeing the back of Hongyu walking away with the corner of his skirt, Shu Hui suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but regret why he didn't let Ao Guang call someone.
"Isn't this just the right time to go to Zhuo Mengling and ask her to teach her red fish piano skills, I'll just stand here and wait what a waste of carefree childhood...... By the way, shouldn't there always be someone waiting here to run errands at any time? ”
Shu Hui searched left and right with his eyes, but he really didn't find it.
At this moment, a frightened scream suddenly came from the red fish in front of him, and then it stopped abruptly, and the hairs on Shu Hui's back stood up in an instant.
"Ao Guang, go quickly!" Shu Hui used the dark shelter to turn into armor to cover himself, signaling that he didn't need protection at this time, and ran in the direction of the sound behind Ao Guang, who had already started.
The dark shelter is very powerful, and it can provide 10,000 tons of pressure per square meter of stressed area. But as a shield, because of the relationship between following Shu Hui's movement, it can't exert its force on Shu Hui's own body. Moreover, all the reaction forces were absorbed by the part of it that existed in the other space, and Shu Hui could not rely on it to push back the ground and launch itself.
These two operations may be achievable, but they obviously violate the safety design principles and are not available to Shuhui now.
When Shu Hui ran to the place where the red fish last screamed, the scene in front of him made him confused.
Ao Guang turned his back to him, and Shu Hui couldn't see his expression clearly. At this time, I saw that he was holding the ring-headed horizontal knife that combined the function of the honor guard and the military formation in his right hand, the knife was already out of the sheath, and there was a young man in gray clothes crawling under his feet, as if the young man of the Shifanglou was trembling.
In front of the two of them, a swarthy young man with a belt wrapped around his waist, broad shoulders and narrow waist, and a square face and thick lips stood under the plum tree next to the lotus pond at the outer end of the inner garden of the Shifang Building, carrying a three-eared cloud-headed sword with gold inlays and ghostly fangs.
On the body of the four-foot sword, there is a crimson koi fish struggling with its tail flicking!
