Chapter 33: Sensationalism

In Zhang's house, the merchant Zhang Kuan was tied to a tree, and only two hands could move. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

At this time, he was holding a brush in one hand and a bamboo slip in the other, sweating profusely, and was teaching a yellow turban soldier to write his name.

Chun Yuyi felt that he was not capable of teaching a hundred people to learn to write his own name alone, so he released Zhang Kuan for waste use.

In order to survive, Zhang Kuan did not dare to refuse at all, and trembled to teach a group of rough men to write their names.

He finally taught a man named Sun Yi to learn to write his name, and when he heard that the next Yellow Turban soldier was called "Xuanyuan Gluttony", he immediately fainted.

Fainting is pretended, because he can't write the word gluttony.

Zhang Forget led the Taoist Mingxu back to Zhang's house, causing a burst of cheers from everyone. Everyone was very convinced of Zhang Wang's ability to make money, thinking that he would be able to bring money back casually after he went out.

When they saw that the ox cart was full of stones, the group of people was immediately depressed.

Don't they all say that Zhang Forget has the ability to make money every day? Why did you come here for so many days, except for earning 100,000 yuan on the first day, there was no income anymore?

Zhang Forget arranged for someone to take Mingxu and his son to the backyard to rest, and specially arranged for the kitchen to cook and give adults and children a full meal.

Ming Xuan saw that there were so many subordinates in Zhang's house, and realized that he might have been deceived, because Zhang Forget said that there were 3,000 catties of millet for the Sanqing Patriarch, and there was no manpower available, so he went to the Taoist temple to ask for help.

Now it seems that the rice offered is fake, and the deception of a car of saltpeter is true.

Thinking so, when he arrived at someone's territory, Mingxu didn't dare to say a word, and obediently let the servant lead him to the backyard. If you turn your face on the spot and are beaten to death by someone with a stick, where can you cry out for injustice?

Zhang Forget successfully deceived saltpeter and was in a much better mood. He had a cart of saltpeter all transported to his house, and then took the initiative to find the beans to make peace.

Douzi was learning embroidery from a maid, and when he saw Zhang Wang, he immediately twisted his head to the side.

Hey, the little guy is quite temperamental.

Zhang forgot to drive the maid away, and beckoned to the beans: "Come and help me." ā€

Beanzi stared at the wall, motionless.

Zhang Forget sighed and said, "It's a pity that I became deaf at such a young age." ā€

Douzi didn't look back and muttered in a low voice, "You're just deaf." ā€

Zhang Wanghaha laughed and said, "Don't make trouble, hurry up and come over to help." Didn't you see that the gang couldn't get the money, and they were about to eat me? ā€

Douzi relented, turned his head, and asked fiercely, "What are you doing?" ā€

"You pretend to be fierce, you look so ugly."

Zhang forgot to taunt her, filled a wooden bucket with water, put it in a tank with half a tank of water, and kept putting saltpeter into it.

Douzi stood in the distance, watching her busy with curiosity, and asked, "What are you doing?" ā€

"If you don't help, why should I tell you?"

Douzi raised his eyebrows: "If you want me to help, you have to praise me." ā€

"What are you complimenting on?"

"Praise me for my white skin, beautiful appearance, long legs, lively and cute, and temperament."

Zhang forgot a stone and threw it into the jar, almost flashing his waist.

He looked back in surprise at Douzi, who was only eight or nine years old: "This is not like something you can say." ā€

Douzi couldn't help but laugh: "This is what you shouted when you dreamed, who did you dream of?" ā€

Zhang forgot to think of the spring dream he had, annoyed and angry, snorted and ignored the beans, and put the saltpeter into the water tank by himself.

The principle of saltpeter ice making is very simple, saltpeter dissolves in water will absorb a lot of heat, and the water temperature will be reduced to a certain extent, and it will naturally freeze.

Moreover, after the saltpeter is dissolved into water, the saltpeter can also be reused by cooling crystallization method or evaporation crystallization. It can be said that this is simply a good deal.

In the wooden barrel in the water tank, crystal ice flowers gradually appeared.

Zhang Forget picked up a handful of ice flowers, turned around and threw the beans that were watching the excitement behind him and refused to help.

Beanzi screamed, and he was instantly frozen.

She grabbed the ice that had fallen into her neck with her hand and exclaimed in surprise, "Where did this ice come from?" ā€

"Of course I made it."

Zhang Forget attacked her while scooping up ice, and proudly told her the principle of ice making.

Douzi opened his mouth in surprise: "This is ice, can it be made so easily?" ā€

"Douzi, you need to read more books, your ignorant appearance now really makes me feel ashamed."

Zhang Wangyu grabbed a handful of ice and wiped it on his face refreshingly: "If you want to learn, I'll teach you." This method is only taught to you, and I don't teach you how much money others pay. ā€

When Douzi heard this, his heart was full of joy. It doesn't matter how much money you make, the key is that this is what Zhang forgot to give herself, and it is unique and belongs only to herself.

But looking back, I was a little annoyed. Zhang Forget only taught her alone, isn't he just tired of her?

After Zhang forgot to make a bucket of ice, he asked Douzi to take over and continue to make ice, while he went back and forth to help Douzi get water.

Buckets of prepared ice slag are carried to the ox cart outside the house. When a servant saw this scene, his jaw was about to fall in shock, and he was driven away by Zhang Wu without hesitation.

The method of making saltpeter ice is too simple, it can be learned casually, keep it secret for a while, and earn some money to spend.

When there were twenty or thirty buckets of ice made, Zhang forgot to go out and called Chun Yuyi over.

Lang has a compassionate heart, and follows himself all the way to work hard, so that he knows that it is not a big deal.

Chun Yuyi got rid of the pain of teaching the Yellow Turban soldiers to read and write, and was overjoyed, and when he saw the bucket of ice outside Zhang Wang's house, he immediately stared at him.

Why does ice that can only be seen in winter is here in summer? Is it difficult that this house has an ice cellar and was discovered by Zhang Wang?

Zhang Forget briefly talked about the situation, and was shocked that Chun Yuyi repeatedly praised the miracle of the Creator. Zhang Forget arranged for him to help Douzi carry water and break the ice, while he ran to the front yard.

In the front yard, the Yellow Turban soldiers splashed water on Zhang Kuan, who was pretending to be dizzy, and continued to learn to write his name with him one by one. Those who couldn't make it their turn helped the servants to sift the soil and refine the mud together.

Zhang Forget glanced at it, and saw that no one was deliberately idle and lazy, he was very satisfied, and shouted loudly: "The one who can write his name rolls over." ā€

A few of them who had learned to write their names looked at each other, and they all had some fear on their faces, and they didn't dare to go out.

"Not a single one?"

Zhang Forget glared at Zhang Kuan, who was tied to the tree, with a rather unkind look in his eyes, it seems that this guy is really useless and can be disposed of.

Zhang Forget saw that his eyes were not good, tears suddenly fell, and he begged bitterly: "Xiao Langjun spare his life, I am still useful, I am still useful." Give me some more time, and I promise to write your names on all your servants. ā€

Zhang forgot to ignore him, pointed to two servants at random, and asked them to follow him to the back house.

The two of them looked at the buckets of ice cubes and ice slag outside Zhang Wang's house, and they were all dumbfounded. Good guys, it's a hot day, and there's so much ice.

Zhang Wang instructed: "Move the ice to the ox cart, take it and sell it, and sell it for a hundred wen per barrel." After selling the money, remember to exchange all the rice for millet and come back. ā€

"Okay." The two servants said yes and happily went to carry the barrels.

The master knows everything, can do anything, and turning stones into gold is not a problem at all, and he will not worry about having a good life in the future.

Zhang Forget arranged for the servants to go out to sell ice, and he moved a bucket of ice to the backyard to send it to the frightened Mingxu father and son.

Mingxu saw Zhang Forget coming in, and said boldly: "If it is inconvenient for the layman to offer rice today, it doesn't hurt to come back another day." ā€

"Am I a man of my word?"

Zhang Forget refused him without hesitation, the matter of saltpeter ice making must be hidden from this Taoist priest no matter what, so before the millet is bought, he must be stabilized so that he can't go anywhere.

Mingxu was helpless, so he had to sit back with a bitter face.

Zhang Forget divided a bucket of ice into five parts, one for each of the east, west, south, south, and middle, and the whole room quickly became cool.

Seeing the ice, Mingxu's heart was full of doubts.

What is the purpose of a person who has a cellar of ice at home and hundreds of slaves to go to the pit to watch a cart of saltpeter and come back?

Zhang forgot to be in the cool room, and his mood was much better.

In these years, saltpeter, stone gall and gypsum are not sold by ordinary traders.

Except for the Taoist priests who would use these things to refine the strange Dan that even they didn't dare to eat, ordinary people couldn't use these things at all.

Therefore, dealing well with Taoist temples is equivalent to saving the energy and time of mining these things yourself.

Saltpeter can be used to make ice, gunpowder, and glass. Stone gall can be distilled to produce sulfuric acid, and gypsum is an essential tool for making food additives, and can also be used to make molds.

Do molds?

Zhang Wangyi patted his head and suddenly became enlightened.

I was really dizzy, and I was at a loss for what to do about the problem of making pottery.

In addition to the pinching method, disc construction method, and blank drawing method, there are also compression molding methods and grouting molding methods. The latter two are gypsum.

The so-called compression mold method is to make a gypsum model first, and then press the soil into the mold, take it out when it is slightly dry, and then use the mud to assemble and form.

The grouting method uses a hollow gypsum mold to inject mud, and after reaching the required thickness, the mold is demolded and formed.

After having gypsum, what does it matter if the tall craft of drawing molding cannot be overcome for the time being?

The blank molding method produces high-quality pottery, but it is inefficient.

It is simply impossible for a person to start from scratch to initially master the skills of drawing and forming, without three or five months. If you want to reach the standard of a master, you don't have to think about it for three or five years.

However, the molding method and grouting method can allow a raw hand to press or grout dozens or hundreds of clay blanks in one day. As long as the raw materials are endless, the pottery will continue to come out. The production efficiency is dozens or hundreds of times faster than that of traditional pottery shops.

The high-end boutique route can't go for the time being, so take the dumping route and crush the market first!

Zhang Forget thought of the smugness and couldn't help laughing.

After thousands of years, the time has come to unify the pottery rivers and lakes.
