Liu Hao pulled Aunt Liu up and said solemnly: "Listen to me, how could I drive you away?" If we get rid of you, our whole family will go hungry. I went into the kitchen mainly because I had seen a few recipes, and it was not certain whether they would taste good or not, so I wanted to try them at home. You all know that our family is going to open a green building, and the people who go there are literati, civil officials and military generals. So the dishes must be chic. ”

A few people nodded as if they didn't understand.

Aunt Liu asked curiously: "Young master, those pork are eaten by inferior people, and those high-ranking officials and nobles will not look at it." And the water you mentioned, no one wants it at all. Young master, do you really want to eat those dirty things? ”

Liu Hao listened and asked: "Crops are grown by dung, why do everyone have to eat them?" You buy the things, and I'll make them for you. No one may have eaten it before, but those things are definitely in demand since then. ”

Back in the backyard, Liu Hao and Ling'er trembled around the stove. The two kept muttering: Why is it so cold, damn it?

When his body was warm, Liu Hao knelt down in front of the low table, laid out the paper, and then carefully cut it into about 16 open sheets of paper with Ling'er, and instructed Ling'er to bind it into a book with needle and thread.

After Ling'er was done, Liu Hao picked up the brush and wrote "Overview of Papermaking" on the first page in thin gold font.

Ling'er squatted aside and exclaimed, "Young master, your handwriting is so beautiful!" ”

Liu Hao smiled slightly, when he was in college in his previous life. There is a teacher at the school who is about to retire and insists that Liu Hao has a talent in calligraphy, and forces Liu Hao to practice calligraphy every day. Although I felt deeply tortured at the time, when I came to the Tang Dynasty, this is the capital, this is my confidence.

Liu Hao wrote little by little about this booklet of poor workmanship according to the general steps of papermaking that he had read in his previous life. When Liu Hao was in college, he talked about a girlfriend who was majoring in environmental protection, and he followed her to class at that time, and then he was slightly familiar with the process of the paper mill.

Every experience is the wealth of your life, and that's a really good thing. Liu Hao sighed while writing, if he didn't die begging for nothing to pester that girl at that time, it would be a bit blind to want to make paper in the Tang Dynasty now. Who would have thought that the actions of a little idiot at the time would be a means of making money now.

After writing, after the ink dried, Liu Hao handed it to Ling'er, who was already stunned: "Put it away carefully, I will rely on this thing to support you in the future." ”

Ling'er took it and hugged it tightly: "Young master, can this really make paper?" ”

Liu Hao nodded: "It should be much better than the current paper." ”

Ling'er became even more nervous: "Where is the slave family hiding?" Will someone come and grab it? ”

Liu Hao patted her head lightly: "Who knows, if you don't say it?" Find a place to put it away, and start trying to do it after the New Year. ”

Then Liu Hao also wrote movable type printing. After writing it, he said to Ling'er seriously: "We are helpless in Luoyang, and our identity is still a lowly businessman. If these things leak out, it is inevitable that some people will covet them. When the time comes, if the other party colludes with officials to frame us, then we will be finished. ”

Ling'er asked curiously, "In that case, why did the young master still write it?" ”

"If I don't write now, I'm afraid I'll forget it later."

Liu Hao's words made Ling'er roll her eyes and not believe it at all.

Ling'er looked at Liu Hao's words, and looked regretful: "The young master should go to the exam to gain fame, instead of thinking about being a businessman all day long." ”

Liu Hao pouted: "Pull it down, what's the point of gaining fame?" Ten years of cold and bitter windows, once the world heard of it. Sounds great, but it's too much to give. I don't want to be so boring on my own. Life is too short to be happy. You have to remember that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books at any time. ”

Seeing Ling'er's confused look, Liu Hao patted his head. In my previous life, I made the mistake of teaching students in the piano store again, and I always wanted to pass on my life and life perception to others, which was not good.

Liu Hao shook his head and began to write the most important book: "A Brief Introduction to the Development of Steelmaking Technology".

Thanks to the exam-oriented education, Liu Haotong, who barely graduated, can still remember the rote content that he memorized in order to cope with the final exam, as a student majoring in smelting, these contents are knowledge that must be mastered. And Liu Hao didn't grasp it clearly, anyway, he wrote it down.

When Liu Hao wrote about the popular Sugang method in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Liu San came back, and he was followed by a middle-aged man in his thirties.

Liu Hao quietly put away the booklet on the low table. Then stand up.

Liu San introduced: "This is the owner of the blacksmith shop. In the past, Luoyang City was famous, but now a few apprentices have been brought out, and he is also a boss with peace of mind. I came here today to see the effect of this coal stove, the front yard was too cold, so I brought it directly here. ”

When Boss Wang saw Liu Hao, he couldn't help but praise: "What a handsome little Langjun." I thought the person who could come up with such an elaborate stove was an old man, and I didn't want to be so young. ”

Liu Hao snorted, and the two stood by the coal stove and chatted for a while.

Boss Wang looked around the coal stove, and then said, "Xiao Langjun, I am a rough man, and I don't have so many twists and turns. Now that I have seen the stove, it really works. The first batch of stoves will be ready tomorrow, but I don't know how to operate it. The family is too slow, I don't know if Xiao Langjun has a good way. ”

Liu Hao added a few pieces of coal and said to Boss Wang: "Wang Dongjia, you can install it for free in the Qinglou Jiguan Restaurant and other lively places in Luoyang City." Write the name and address of your blacksmith shop on the stove with red paint or something. This way someone will come to buy it soon. ”

Boss Wang and Liu San looked at each other: "It's that simple? ”

Liu Hao smiled and said, "Of course it's that simple. You can first co-produce with the larger blacksmith shops in Luoyang and sell them together. That way there won't be anything like a price cut. By the way, after the batch is made tomorrow, I will ask for a few sets first, and there must be rooms for people in this courtyard, and I also have a store in Dongshi, which also needs to be installed. ”

Boss Wang waved his hand and said, "Xiao Langjun has orders, so naturally he will do all of them, and he won't take a penny." Tomorrow, Escort Liu will show the guys the way. By the way, tomorrow I will pay Xiao Langjun fifty yuan as a deposit. If the sales are good, I promise that I will never lose Xiaolangjun. ”

Liu Hao likes to deal with this kind of cheerful person, and immediately said: "Wang Dongjia is so bright, it seems that I have to find you for anything I need to do in the future." ”

Boss Wang slapped his thigh: "What I want is Xiao Langjun's words." ”

After sending Boss Wang away, Liu Hao turned around and asked Liu San: "Is the wok ready?" ”

Liu San smiled: "It's not just a wok, even the iron kettle and spatula are ready." Don't you want to see it? ”

Liu Hao put on his fur coat: "What's going on over there in the Qinglou?" All the people who bought it from the workshop brought it over? ”

Liu Sanzheng said: "More than a dozen people have been brought over, there are a few guards from their hometowns over there, two cooks, and a few miscellaneous people." Everything is arranged, and the young master doesn't have to worry. ”

Liu Hao saw that it was still early: "Why don't I go over and take a look, so as to save them from making trouble." ”

Get on the carriage and wander towards the East City.

Liu Hao looked out of the car window curiously, there was thick snow everywhere, the people on the road were walking in a hurry wrapped in clothes, a team of soldiers patrolled on the snow, and a few old men not far away shoveled the snow on both sides of the road under the leadership of the soldiers. Outside the high fang wall, a few corners of the eaves are revealed.

When I arrived at the gate of the workshop, after checking my identity, the soldiers told me that I must come back before the door was locked, so I waved my hand and let me go.

When he arrived at the street in Luoyang, Liu Hao saw that the snow on the road had been cleared, and in addition to the soldiers patrolling on the street, there were also more carriages of various kinds, and the road was bustling, lively but not crowded.

After arriving in Dongshi, Liu Hao finally saw the most prosperous place in Luoyang City, with all kinds of restaurants and restaurants lined up one after another, and plaques and banners such as "ancestral" and "Luoyang No. 1" hanging at the door were dazzling. There is an endless stream of people who set up stalls on the roadside, people carrying baskets to sell, and occasionally people from the Western Regions leading camels walk along the road, bringing rare commodities from the Tang Dynasty to Luoyang, and also transporting the silk and the like from the Tang Dynasty to the west of the desert.

Further inside, the shops on both sides are no longer mainly restaurants, but various grocery stores, silk shops, rouge gouache and ready-to-wear for women. It has the taste of a pedestrian street in later generations. Datang has not been poisoned by Cheng Zhu Lixue, and groups of women can be seen everywhere on the street, talking and laughing from one store to another, and a few beggars carrying bowls with broken corners, trying to meet a kind woman who can give some money or food.

Liu San saw Liu Hao looking outside with a curious face, and couldn't help but say: "This is still inconvenient for people to go out after the snow, and in normal times, there will be several times more people on this street, and the carriage will not be able to pass at all." ”

After the carriage went in a little further, there was much less traffic on the road, but there were many carriages. The shops on both sides of the road are all multi-storey buildings with extravagant decorations. From time to time, there would be a profligate literati on the side of the road who were drunk, and the windows of several upstairs were open, and a few bewitching bodies were leaning out of them, judging the drunks on the street. Seeing this, Liu Hao didn't need to ask to know that Luoyang's Fengyue place had arrived.

The carriage slowly turned into a small alley, and Liu San and Liu Hao got off. Then walked to an inconspicuous small door on the edge of the alley, Liu San raised his hand and knocked rhythmically a few times.

After a while, the door opened, and a man who was even more burly than Liu San leaned out, and when he saw Liu San, he grinned: "The third brother has come quite frequently in the past two days." ”

As soon as the man finished speaking, he saw Liu Hao behind Liu San, and said in surprise: "The young master is here!" Are you feeling well? Everybody's worried about you. ”

Liu Hao nodded with his hands behind his back: "Go in and talk." ”
