43, Baume & Mercier Zheng Xuan visited (ask for collection)
"Is there such a way in the world? Can you tell me? The crowd was stunned, and their faces were full of longing.
"This is unique to the Immortal Family, if you want to learn, you must exchange it at an equal price." Bai Ziyun looked at the craftsmen, still with a gentle smile on his face.
"Naturally, it's just that we are all lowly people, and we can't exchange good things for them." The old man shook his head and sighed, and the masons were also full of disappointment.
"There is no need for any treasures, as long as you are willing to accept my employment, the architectural knowledge I have mastered will naturally be taught." Seeing that this craftsman was so simple, Bai Ziyun had no choice but to directly state his purpose.
"Hire?" Everyone looked at Bai Ziyun in confusion.
"I want to set up a construction company, well, a construction club, specializing in building houses for people, if you accept recruitment for reasons and become employees in the company, you will get a fixed remuneration every month, if there is outside work, there will naturally be a share, everyone can rest assured, this employee is not a slave, I don't want your deed of sale, just like the little guy in the restaurant, but you don't have to be like the little guy to accompany the guests with a smile, you are all construction workers of my immortal family, and your status is different."
All the masons laughed, and they were willing to join in the identity of the construction workers of the immortal family, except for a few old ones who had to think about it carefully, and the others all shouted that they were willing to join. When the other craftsmen next to him heard about it, they also ran over and asked if they could join the construction club.
"Bai Shangxian, I'm a carpenter, can I join that construction club?"
Lu Da Niu asked humbly, because Lu Zhi was grateful to him for saving his eldest son, so he restored the three of them to freedom, but still paid their wages. Bai Ziyun often hired him to be some buddies, and naturally he learned a lot from Bai Ziyun.
"Absolutely!" Bai Ziyun said with a smile.
Subsequently, Bai Ziyun and the craftsmen discussed for an hour or so, and the system of the construction society was roughly determined. In terms of personnel arrangement, Bai Ziyun is the president, Lu Daniu and other craftsmen are all workers in the construction company, the old man became the captain of the construction team, the old man's name is Xu Cai, but everyone calls him Xu Lao Craftsman, who has been a mason for 40 years, has rich experience, and is very famous in Zhuo County.
The system stipulates the obligations and responsibilities of employees, and each craftsman can learn the knowledge of the immortals, but the corresponding craftsman cannot hide his secrets, and must take two or three apprentices to pass on the knowledge he has learned to his apprentices.
Ancient craftsmen will leave a hand for their apprentices in order to live, if other people let them teach their own skills, I am afraid that they will not be willing, but Bai Ziyun asked them to teach their skills, they are embarrassed to hide it, because the skills of the immortal family are a hundred times stronger, and they are not afraid of being laughed at if they hide it. With this in mind, the craftsmen were able to discuss with each other without reservation, and the skills of the craftsmen suddenly increased a lot.
The current job of this construction team is to work for Bai Ziyun, who plans to transform his hundreds of acres of land into a small industrial area. After the construction team became strong under his supervision and coaching, he accepted the project from the outside.
"Bai Shangxian, what you said about the method of strengthening the beams and pillars, can you tell me now?" Old craftsman Xu asked impatiently.
Bai Ziyun said slowly: "Naturally, you need a material called cement, cement is usually powdery, and after adding water and stirring it into a slurry, you can firmly cement sand, stone and other materials together and harden them into stone." In the fairy world, this thing and the steel bar are solidified together, hard as granite, and full of toughness, hundreds of feet of high-rise buildings stand tall, it is dependent on these materials. However, we don't have so many steel bars now, so we can only use bamboo instead, which will be worse than steel bar concrete in toughness. ”
The craftsmen all gasped when they heard this, it was hard to imagine how the buildings hundreds of zhang high were built, and the fairy world was really different from the mortal world.
"To make cement, you need to build a lime kiln."
After all, Bai Ziyun commanded the craftsmen to make lime kilns, lime kilns are similar to brick-burning kilns, and the brick-burning in this era is almost very mature, so Bai Ziyun explained the main points, and the craftsmen of the lime kiln quickly understood.
After letting Xu Laojiang supervise the progress of the project, Bai Ziyun returned home, and not long after, Yan Xijiao came over and said, "Master, there is a guest visiting!" As he spoke, he handed Bai Ziyun a famous thorn.
Bai Ziyun took it and looked at it, it turned out that it was Lu Zhi's classmate Zheng Xuan, so he nodded and said, "It's a distinguished guest, don't slack off!" ”
"Yes!" Yan Xijiao saluted and went out.
Yan Xijiao has now become a personal maid like Sanniang, listening to what she said, she has been sold as a singer since she was a child, and has been cultivated by a big family, she can sing and dance, read and break sentences, and understand the etiquette of the family, which is much stronger than Sanniang, a little girl. Bai Ziyun planned to let Yan Xijiao take charge of the family's affairs after a while.
Bai Ziyun walked into the living room, and soon Yan Xijiao walked in with a middle-aged man, dressed in cloth, elegant and gentle.
"Mr. Zheng, it's a good thing! I can come to the lower humble house, and it shines brightly! ”
"White Immortal Master, you're welcome!"
The two guests and hosts sat down, Zheng Xuan looked at Bai Ziyun quietly, and when he saw him elegant and chic, he praised him in his heart, this son is extraordinary.
Yan Xijiao took the teacup, her demeanor was all right, charming and moving, but Zheng Xuan looked at her nose and nose, her expression did not move, she opened the lid of the cup, smelled a strong fragrance of tea, couldn't help frowning slightly, took a sip, and was very surprised in her heart, this taste is completely different from the tea you usually drink.
"White Immortal Master, this tea seems to be different!" Zheng Xuan said this in his mouth, but he was unhappy in his heart, he had never seen someone use tea to entertain guests, could it be the way of hospitality of the fairy family?
"This tea is roasted by me using the method of Xiandao, how does Mr. Zheng think it compares to ordinary tea?" Bai Ziyun smiled mildly and asked expectantly.
"To each his own!" Zheng Xuan said noncommittally.
Bai Ziyun secretly rolled his eyes, now it has become popular to drink tea among the wealthy families, but it has not yet become a drink to entertain guests, most of them are used for decanting effect, so some decanting things such as salt and vinegar will be added to the tea, and there are other messy things. The taste was naturally miserable, and Bai Ziyun almost vomited when he drank it for the first time at a banquet.
Bai Ziyun likes to drink tea very much in modern times, but there is no tea tree in Youzhou, only in Bashu and Jingchu, he asked someone to go to Jingchu half a year ago to buy it, and after more than half a year, it was recently delivered. He roasted it with a technique that was matured in later generations, and the taste was very close to that of modern drinking, and he often used it as a drink for entertaining guests.
