As soon as Su Zhidao's intention was said by Su Zhidao, Mao Geng understood the reason.
Now foreign merchants come to visit, of course, not only for the wax paper engraving, since they came to Baixi, Kang Laoming's blackboard chalk is also definitely not missed, the blackboard can be homemade, but the chalk is must be bought. In this way, the chalk market has also risen all the way, but it is a pity that the Su family has no cement as a key auxiliary material, in the face of the hot market situation, the Su family is responsible for making chalk Su Zhidao is helpless, so he has to report to Su Yuan, this matter to let the original West Chamber owner Mao Geng help.
In view of the fact that the situation has eased now, and the matter of Mao Geng Wenyuan on the official side has been turned into a small matter, Su Yuanwai allowed Su Zhidao to come and find Mao Geng to find a way.
Mao Geng originally planned to cooperate with the Su family in firing cement, which was promised to Su Zhiyi before, and he did not shirk at the moment, and happily agreed to Su Zhidao to let Su Zhidao stay here for a few days until he mastered the method of cement firing.
When Su Zhidao and Mao Geng were talking, Su Zhiyan stood aside with a cold and arrogant expression, as if this matter had nothing to do with her. Mao Geng sighed in his heart, he didn't know why Su Zhiyan was here, it seemed that the Su family didn't need to use beauty tricks.
Su Zhiyan did not delay much here in the workshop, and went to Fuguo Xi with Fuguogang. The Su family and the Fu family have close contacts, and it is common for Su Zhiyan to be a guest at the Fu family, but Su Zhiyan came abruptly this time, I'm afraid it's not as simple as being a guest here in Fuguoxi, is it to see the ash worm spitting wax, or to see the wax flowers on the tree? However, Mao Geng was riddled with things, and he didn't have to think much about Su Zhiyan.
During this period, Mao Geng's workshop added a new bamboo building and bamboo shed, the upgraded version of the mimeograph machine has been successfully trial-produced, this new machine not only improves the function, but also has a significant improvement in workmanship and appearance, and the grade is not the same as the first generation of mimeograph machine. The success of this new machine, in addition to Mao Geng's design has put a lot of thought into it, but also the contribution of Tan Chengzhu's father and son's exquisite craftsmanship, and the use of hydraulic circular sawing machine and hydraulic lathe has greatly improved the efficiency and accuracy of making products. The first batch of ten mimeograph machines has been successfully produced, and the next batch is batch feeding, with a batch production of 100 units at one time.
This is all according to the drawings designed by Mao Geng according to the drawings processed, Mao Geng these days stayed up one after another, almost all night to conceive, draw, after drawing, and then taught Tan Chengzhu father and son to read drawings and make zuò. Fortunately, Tan Chengzhu's youngest son Tan Qi has a very high level of understanding, and he quickly learned to read pictures, and the three views were handed over to Tan Qi first, and he explained them to his father and brother. On several occasions, Tan Qi also expressed his own opinions on the design, and Mao Geng adopted two of them. This Tan Qi is only sixteen years old, and if he cultivates it, his future is limitless. Mao Geng has the heart to cultivate Tan Qi well, and he will mention more intentionally or unintentionally.
Mao Geng didn't need to worry too much about the mimeograph machine, but Mao Geng had too many things at hand, so he had to postpone the crucible steelmaking and teach the Su family to burn cement first.
Fuguo Iron and Steel has mastered the method of coking, since the crucible steelmaking will be postponed, Mao Geng discussed with Fuguo Steel, let him go back to coke wholeheartedly, wait for the coke to be burned, and then use coke to make iron, plus centrifugal blowers, ironmaking can be upgraded to a higher level.
After Fuguogang left with the two subordinates of Fujia Ironmaking, he made room for Su Zhidao and his two subordinates to live in, and Mao Geng started the on-site training of firing cement. According to Mao Geng's plan, one is to teach Su Zhidao to burn cement by hand, and the other is to burn one or two hundred catties of cement this time, so that Su Zhidao can bring it back to make a batch of chalk, and it is estimated that some merchants can't wait.
Burning cement, the most troublesome is the gravel grinding, mass production must be on the hydraulic machinery, Mao Geng feels that the crocodile crusher is still too early, the water mill is the simplest, in addition, you can try to design a simple hydraulic ball mill, see if you can do it. As for the centrifugal blower, the centrifugal blower made by the Tan family father and son is getting better and better, and only need to put a little effort into the change to increase the degree of rotation by one level, and the blower effect will be more perfect.
Tan Qi and blacksmith Huang Wangcai were transferred by Mao Geng to make water mills, and taught Su Zhidao and his two subordinates to build a slightly larger miniature vertical kiln. Throughout the afternoon, Mao Geng was not idle for a moment.
In the evening, Fuzhen came to the workshop. Fuzhen and Tan Jixue don't need to make wax paper, they will come to this workshop from time to time, the two children will be shocked by the flying circular saw and the flying sawdust, and curious about the slow turning big wheel driving the small wheel to fly, Mao Geng will sometimes explain two sentences, it is obvious that Tan Jixue has a better understanding.
Fuzhen whispered to Mao Geng, and then led Mao Geng towards the bamboo forest.
Su Zhiyan was already waiting in the bamboo forest, and Su Zhiyan said in an emerald green Han costume, standing in the bamboo forest, curling Tingting, adding a bit of moving. Fuzhen walked to the edge of the bamboo forest and left with interest, leaving only Mao Geng and Su Zhiyan in the bamboo forest.
Su Zhiyan walked into the depths of the bamboo forest again, and Mao Geng followed closely not far away.
Walking into the depths of the bamboo forest, Su Zhiyan turned around and said:
"Brother Mao, let me have a few words with you."
Mao Geng felt that the green bamboo forest was the best place to talk about love, and his heart was beating at the moment, and he felt a little burned in his face, and he responded in a whisper:
"Okay, I'll hear you."
Su Zhiyan handed over a stack of papers, and said with some resentment:
"You wrote this article in the "White Creek Journal"! Are you sure that the third brother Feng framed you? Even if the third brother Feng doesn't live with you, then there is no need to write like this, post it on this and let many people see it! ”
Mao Geng took a look, when did the "Baixi Journal" pop up again! Mao Geng read the article that Su Zhiyan was referring to, but it was a jealous gossip story, and it was an insinuation article written about so-and-so framing his rival by unscrupulous means, and the discerning person saw that it was an allusion to Feng Saburo framing Mao Wen and the others, no wonder Su Zhiyan suspected herself, but she didn't write it at all!
"I didn't write it." , Mao Geng said in a defensive manner.
"You don't admit it, do you! Hehe, helping my mother-in-law to say a lot of good things about you, and my father and brother also said that you are a good person, I have to be good with you! But the more Granny Fu says hello, the more I think you're a liar. Thou art a man who has not spoken a word of truth, but has spoken all falsehoods. Let me ask you, the chalk on the blackboard is obviously made by you, and the wax paper engraving is obviously made by you, why do you say that it was created by Kang Lao! He also blew Kang Lao like a god, what is his intention! Also, there were no gold and silver mines, so why spread rumors! After you arrived in Baixi, how many words did you tell the truth! You lie a lot, and there are not a few true, how can I believe you! ”
Su Zhiyan said it repeatedly, this time it hit Mao Geng's sore spot, he really lied repeatedly, and even his own master was made up, well, his identity is also fake, but he can't make it public! Think about it, in front of Su Zhiyan, it is natural for Granny Fu to focus on highlighting Mao Geng, and it is not surprising to tell the truth about wax paper engraving and blackboard chalk, which can just show Mao Geng's talent to impress Su Zhiyan. But it's okay not to say it, but as soon as I talk about it, it becomes a series of lies by myself, so that I can explain it clearly.
Mao Geng was very helpless, so he became an unscrupulous man in Su Zhiyan's eyes, what a grievance! But he was cocooned and self-bound, and he complained about who came, and smiled bitterly:
"I really didn't write this thing."
Su Zhiyan was obviously a little out of control, where could she listen to it, there seemed to be tears in her eyes, and she said a lot of words:
"Third Brother Feng is good to me, and you have to fight again! I am fighting with the third brother of Feng, it is none of your business, but why did you write the article of Na Laoshizi to write the third brother Feng as a despicable villain, so that now the whole Xinhua is not preaching the third brother! Only I know that you are the treacherous person ---, but my father has taken a fancy to you, hum! I'm going to follow you, instead of being coaxed by you to not distinguish between east and west, north and south, it's better to follow the third brother Feng, although the third brother is not as good as you, but he is really good to me, not hypocritical. ”
When Su Zhiyan said that she was excited, she looked particularly aggrieved, and simply said happily:
"Our daughter's family, if you want to marry, you will marry a gentleman like Kang Lao, who is deeply affectionate, a good man who is dedicated and will never be half-hearted. Like you, who lies a lot, you know how to deceive, and if you are good to me now, who knows what will happen in the future! When that time comes, the three wives and four concubines will have to look for flowers and ask willows, I can't stand it! ”
Speaking of this, Su Zhiyan was crying, which made Mao Geng feel a lot of pity, but he didn't know how to persuade him. Su Zhiyan raised her head, stared at Mao Geng with tearful eyes, and said:
"Do you know, whatever I want, Feng Saburo will think of something for me, and he will do everything possible to get it for me. And you, you won't spend half an hour painting for me! Woo, woo, woo---, what am I trying to do! ”
yes, what are people trying to do! Alas! A woman is an emotional animal, and her judgment can sometimes be incredibly low, even if she is a bad man, as long as she talks sweetly to her, she is satisfied, especially a beautiful woman! He is not the kind of person who is good at coaxing women to please, and he did have the fault of hyping and deceitful when he came to the Great Song Dynasty, but he didn't expect to become a liar with many lies in Su Zhiyan's eyes, thinking of this, Mao Geng had all kinds of flavors in his heart, and when he wanted to explain that this article might be written by Wen Yuan or Zhang Haisan, he suddenly thought that Feng Saburo was vindictive, and it was not fun to retaliate against the two of them at that time.
Mao Geng saw that Su Zhiyan was bitter, crying like pear blossoms and rain, and felt pity in his heart, but he really didn't know how to explain it, and he was depressed in his heart.
Suddenly felt the cold wind around him, only to feel the cold of the four bodies, in a trance, a bamboo shook in front of his eyes, Mao Geng felt a whirlwind of the sky, no longer able to stand unsteadily, threw himself to the ground, fainted.
Seeing this, Su Zhiyan didn't care about it at first, and said sarcastically:
"Such a burly man, do you have to pretend to be pitiful!"
But then I saw that Mao Geng's face was red and his ears were hot, and his breathing in his mouth was extremely short, so he panicked and hurriedly shouted:
"Someone's coming, save someone."
When Tan Chengzhu brought someone over, carried Mao Geng to the bed, and hurriedly called Tan Xiuzhu to check the pulse, he realized that Mao Geng was poisoned by miasma, Mao Geng stayed up late one after another, and he was already tired, and few people usually went to the depths of the bamboo forest, and the miasma was very serious.
