Chapter 136: The Magical Monkey

Chapter 136 [Magical Monkey]

After Chen Ruolan came out of the backyard of the wine shop, she circled around the circular tulou for half a circle to find the main entrance - in fact, it didn't matter what the main entrance was, because it had only one door in total, and it was the only entrance and exit of the entire building.

This door is in the opposite direction to the sake store gate. The gate of the liquor shop faces south, and the main street of the east and west of the orange fragrance post is outside, while the gate of the tulou faces north, and it is a secondary street parallel to the main street. Compared to the bustling traffic outside the main street, there is significantly less passing passenger here.

Originally, the area of the land was not enough, so Li Qingshan also acquired two shops on the right side, and cut down some of the backyards of the north and south wine shops and the north and south inns at the same time, so that a few hundred square meters were finally freed up to build this new inn.

At the beginning, the funds were still a little tight, but fortunately, the hot sales of crocodile meat revitalized the business of the liquor store, bringing a lot of cash flow, and at the same time, licking bricks and soy sauce gradually opened up sales, and the cost of buying land and construction was basically contributed by Li Qingshan.

As for manpower, the villagers of Huangyi Village and Gujia Village also came to help for free from time to time, and listened to the dispatch arranged by the blacksmith, which also saved a lot of wages, and also greatly shortened the construction period, so that the new inn was finally completed ahead of schedule before the opening of the painting competition.

From the outside, it looks like a strangely shaped building, like a huge chimney with a thick diameter and disproportionate height, standing strangely on the ground, creating a huge visual contrast with the other shops around it.

Although Chen Ruolan had already seen this strange shape on the drawings, she still felt a little strange when she finally saw the real thing at this moment. However, although its shape is strange, it does not have any superfluous shapes, not even the outer eaves, but an incomparably regular cylinder, which makes people understand at a glance.

After pushing open the door and walking in, the girl realized that there were actually two chimneys - the big chimney also had a small chimney in it, forming a layout of a building within a building, but it was not visible from the outside.

This layout is actually quite scientific, and the utilization rate of the land is also high, at least the number of rooms is not less than the traditional layout - for the operation of the inn, the number of rooms is a very important parameter.

Of course, compared to these, what she was looking forward to the most was the automatic irrigation system that Li Qingshan said, pipes, ecological pools, and bacteria - these strange theories had simply reached the limit of her imagination.

She crossed the river from Nanchen and took root on the north bank of the river, with deeper and broader experience and vision than ordinary people. But even if you are well-informed, it is really incredible that a building has its own farmland irrigation function, integrates complex fertilizer treatment functions, and does not require human intervention!

Until this moment, this magical building was already standing in front of her, but Chen Ruolan still couldn't believe it, because those pipes had already been hidden from the entire building, and the ecological pool had been buried deep underground, leaving no trace to be found.

Is this really possible?

The sudden voice from behind seemed to answer the question in her heart at the moment: "Miss, Li Gongzi...... I'm really not talking nonsense! ā€

The girl was slightly taken aback, looked back, and saw that it was Qi Jingtian, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Uncle Qi, it's you...... What are you talking about? Chen Ruolan froze and asked curiously.

Qi Jingtian was obviously a little overexcited, and when he saw her, he was startled, and he suddenly felt a little sorry. He received the good news just now, and he was anxious, looking for Chen Ruolan everywhere, and when he heard Wang Liu say that she was here, he also rushed in in a hurry, and he didn't say hello.

"The old slave is reckless, he shocked the eldest lady, please forgive the eldest lady!"

Chen Ruolan hurriedly said not to worry: "...... Uncle Qi, what did you just say happened to Mr. Li? ā€

For Li Qingshan, Qi Jingtian was obviously completely convinced, he restrained his excitement, and slowly exhaled before sighing: "Miss, it's the monkey thing, what Li Gongzi said last time - it's actually true!" ā€

"Which one?" Chen Ruolan seems to have long been accustomed to the various surprises brought by Li Qingshan, "Uncle Qi is referring to the trapping of monkeys with strange cups?" ā€

"It's not."

Qi Jingtian had naturally heard about this matter, and he was also shocked by the ingenuity at that time, but at this time, he shook his head vigorously: "Miss, it's Boss Sun's matter last time." ā€

He was worried that Chen Ruolan had forgotten about it, so he hurriedly reminded again: "Does the eldest lady still remember that Boss Sun?" It's the one from Yiling. ā€

Chen Ruolan nodded suddenly, and then remembered that there was indeed such a thing.

About a month ago, a big customer from Yiling came here to buy a large number of licking bricks, and inadvertently said that the horses in his horse farm were suffering from scabies in large quantities.

Although this disease is not a serious disease, it is extremely troublesome for horses to catch it. The sick horse will keep rubbing the affected area, grinding out blisters, and then bursting, and after healing, it will form a scab, and the skin will gradually become hypertrophied, lose its elasticity and even form wrinkles, which will affect the appearance.

On top of that, it will also affect the horse's feeding and rest, and in the long run, the sick horse will lose a lot of weight.

This kind of scabies is both contagious and difficult to eradicate, usually infected in the whole area, Boss Sun was deeply distressed by this, and asked Qi Jingtian for advice at that time, because in his opinion, people who can lick bricks must have a set of horses.

Who made the brick licking, Qi Jingtian didn't know, so the matter quickly reached Li Qingshan's ears. After Li Qingshan heard this, he deliberately left the owner of the horse farm surnamed Sun to stay for an extra night, saying that he had a way.

Early the next morning, Li Qingshan actually dragged him five monkeys chained with iron chains, and told him about the magical functions of the monkeys, and asked him to take the monkeys back to treat the horses.

That Boss Sun was dumbfounded at the time, can the monkey still treat the horse?

Isn't that a fantasy? Why don't you say that sows can arch up trees?

Yiling is not too close to the orange fragrance station, and it is enough to choke on a large cart of licking bricks all the way back, and he has to bring five more monkeys back who are jumping up and down, isn't this going to kill him?

The owner of the racecourse was speechless at the time, and he was not accepting or refusing, which was quite embarrassing. If he had known that Li Qingshan's method was so bizarre, I was afraid that he would be so frightened that he would flee back to Yiling overnight.

Later, Li Qingshan had no choice but to reduce the number of monkeys to three, and prepared three cages for him, so that he could reluctantly persuade Boss Sun to agree to the matter.

Although there is a cage, it is really troublesome to take the monkey on the road, if it is not for the fact that Li Qingshan is the inventor of brick licking, I am afraid that he will not easily agree.

Chen Ruolan also knew about it at the time, and when she persuaded that Boss Sun, she also helped to move her tongue, so she also paid attention to this matter later, but then there was no news coming for a long time, so she also forgot a little, and at this time, Qi Jingtian suddenly mentioned it, and suddenly remembered it again.

"Uncle Qi, you ask this, but there is news from that Boss Sun?" Chen Ruolan asked eagerly.

Qi Jingtian twisted his beard and smiled lightly, took out a letter from his arms, took out the letter paper and unfolded it and handed it to Chen Ruolan, who immediately read it in a hurry.

The letters were written to Qi Jingtian, and most of the letters were written to him to convey words of thanks on his behalf. The girl quickly skipped over these irrelevant parts, looking for a description of the illness, but this Boss Sun was vague about this part, only a few words.

According to the letter, since he tethered the monkey to the stable as Li Qingshan told him, the scabies on the sick horses that were closer to the monkey gradually disappeared!

Boss Sun didn't think anything at first, but when he remembered what Li Qingshan said earlier, he had doubts in his heart, could it really be a monkey?

So he changed the place of the monkey and lengthened the chain to allow the monkey to move more widely. Then the miraculous effect appeared again, as long as it was within the range of the monkey's activity, the scabies on the body gradually disappeared.

Boss Sun was suddenly shocked, so he immediately asked someone to bring this letter to thank him. According to the meaning of Thaksin, it seems that when he sent someone to buy the licking bricks again in the future, he still wanted to spend money to buy a few more monkeys, and make up all the money for the last three monkeys. He shouldn't come in person next time to buy and lick bricks, so he wrote to Qi Jingtian in advance to say hello.

Looking at the letter in her hand, Chen Ruolan fell into deep thought.

"Miss, those monkeys, have Li Gongzi ever domesticated them?" Qi Jingtian was also full of curiosity at this time, he was not optimistic about this matter, but this letter is the best proof.

"Probably not," Chen Ruolan thought for a moment before finally shaking her head, "Last time, I remember that he brought back the monkeys early in the morning, and before that, those monkeys didn't appear at all." ā€

"Could it be that over there is a half cup of tea, what kind of domestication method did Gongzi Li teach them?"

Qi Jingtian couldn't help but make a guess, about the origin of the monkey, as well as the cooperation between Li Qingshan and Cha Banzhan, he basically knew everything, "...... This thing is really a bit bizarre, why can a monkey cure a horse disease? The old slave can't figure it out! ā€

Chen Ruolan smiled lightly at him, "Uncle Qi, don't guess, you and I have been guessing this matter for ten or twenty years, but I'm afraid I won't be able to guess the fame of it, and when I see Gongzi Li, ask him directly." ā€

"That's right." Qi Jingtian smiled, and then sighed and asked, "Miss, how did you say that Li Gongzi's strange ability came about?" ā€

Chen Ruolan was slightly surprised: "Uncle Qi, didn't Gongzi Li mention a book called "Man and Nature" last time? ā€

Qi Jingtian shook his head in contemplation, "Although this book can explain some things, the old slave always feels that what Li Gongzi has learned in his heart has already gone beyond the scope of this book......"

He looked around for a while, pointed to the rooms around him and said, "Miss, don't you think that these rooms in the new inn are faintly arranged with the formation of Tai Chi gossip?" ā€

"Tai Chi gossip?"

"That's right," Qi Jingtian nodded, "Miss, you see, those eight fireproof walls just divide this building into eight parts, and the two wells on both sides are not the two fish eyes on the Taiji diagram?" ā€

When he said this, Chen Ruolan also remembered the design diagram that Li Qingshan showed her at that time, which did have some Tai Chi gossip.

"And no one has ever seen that book, and the person named Zhao Zhongxiang has never heard of it...... However, just listening to the title of the book, since you are both a man and a nature, you must definitely not teach people how to build a house, right? But the house designed by Gongzi Li, although it looks a little weird on the outside, is similar on the inside, and it has its own system......"

Speaking of this, Qi Jingtian couldn't help but sigh: "Miss, to be honest, the old slave really can't see through Li Gongzi!" (To be continued.) )
