Chapter 15: Multi-faceted approach
The morning passed, and when it was time for lunch, the people began to deliver food to the offerings.
The subordinates knocked on Mu Lao's door for a long time but did not answer.
In the end, I had to put the food on the charcoal stove next to me to keep it warm.
Wang Yan was standing in front of an iron door and was hesitating to enter, and the door opened by itself!
There was a loud bang, and the people who delivered the dishes jumped, and the soup was sprinkled on the plate.
"The old man smelled it in the yard! Twenty years of daughter red! Yes and no? ”
The voice is rough, but very calm.
Looking up, it was a bearded man with a white beard, with facial features like an evil ghost in the underworld, dark skin, and various gods and ghosts tattooed on it, which was lifelike from a distance.
Tie Lao and Mu Lao are simply people from two worlds, Mu Lao is a fairy wind bone, but the old man in front of him is an executioner in the underworld, with white beard and white hair covering most of his anger.
The old man snatched the flask and took a sip, his eyes suddenly widened, and he screamed.
"Good wine! What a good wine! ”
At this time, if you don't come forward to say hello, it won't be good.
"Tie Lao is on top, and he is worshiped by the boy."
Tie Lao turned his head and saw Wang Yan, with a smile on his face.
"Xiaoyan, why do you have time to come and see the old man! Let's go, let's go in! ”
As he spoke, he grabbed Wang Yan's arm and dragged him into the yard.
Tie Lao is no stranger to Wang Yan, he is different from other offerings, he likes to wander around the house and outside the house very much, and Aji is a three-legged cat Kung Fu under Tie Lao.
"Tie Lao, the kid knows that you like forging, and it just so happened that I found a way to burn charcoal a few days ago, and I am here to inform you!"
"How to burn charcoal? What's the idea? ”
Sure enough, when it comes to what he is obsessed with, even Tie Lao is not exempt from vulgarity.
"Tie Lao, where is this place to speak, let's go into the house first, and the kid will speak slowly for you."
Tie Lao nodded, and his pace quickened by three points.
Due to the hurry, the next person has not yet arrived.
Wang Yan was pressed on the chair by Tie Lao, and asked with burning eyes.
"Xiaoyan! What kind of method are you talking about? ”
"Haven't you always hated that our charcoal fire isn't hot enough?" Wang Yan said with a hint of mystery on his face.
"The kid has a method, the temperature of the charcoal burned is about 30% higher than the ordinary charcoal!"
"That's true!"
"How dare the kid lie in front of you!"
"Let's go! Wait for some food before eating, and go to the charcoal kiln in the backyard first! ”
Aji wanted to stop him, but when he met the iron old evil god-like gaze, he died down in an instant, and there was no follow-up.
Wang Yan had been to Tie Lao's courtyard before, but he still couldn't stop being shocked at this time.
The backyard is like an armory pavilion, with at least hundreds of iron weapons on the shelves! Each piece is flashing with cold light, and you can see that it is not ordinary!
The backyards of the enshrinements are very large, and there are three charcoal kilns behind Tie Lao's courtyard.
Wang Yan walked up and picked up a piece of charcoal, and sure enough, it was not completely fired.
Tie Lao's apprentices were busy burning charcoal, and when they saw Tie Lao and the young master coming, they hurriedly put down the men in their hands.
Wang Yan handed over the scroll that had been prepared long ago to Tie Lao's hand.
Tie Lao has been immersed in this way for decades, how can he not see the pearl and jade jade, the reaction is the same as Mu Lao, and his eyes are full of amazement.
Tie Lao read it several times, and then asked if he was puzzled, and tossed back and forth for an hour!
The apprentices also gathered around, and they all listened carefully.
"Zhao Meng! Still stunned what to do! Quickly dismantle these charcoal kilns and build a new kiln according to the young master's method! ”
The faces of Zhao Meng and the surrounding apprentices all showed a look of fanaticism!
"Xiaoyan! Where did you come from? ”
"This method was given by a master, and he once asked the boy not to say his old man's name, so Tie Lao, the boy can't tell you."
Wang Yan showed a helpless look, Tie Lao stopped asking when he heard this, in this era, promises are extremely important.
The apprentices began to dismantle the kiln.
Tie Lao's gaze kept wandering between the charcoal kiln and the scroll.
I can't eat lunch!
did not disturb Tie Lao and the others, and left the courtyard with his subordinates.
It is not difficult to install the kiln, burn the kiln, seal the kiln, and open the kiln.
Wang Yan wrote the steps in detail, and some places that need attention were also marked, and I believe that Tie Lao and others will be able to get them out.
This charcoal burning method was learned from a master who liked to build cold weapons in his previous life, and he was just listening to it as a knowledge, but he didn't expect it to be useful one day.
Suddenly, some of them still remembered the two double knives they had in their previous lives.
The people who should be found have been found, and the things that should be explained have been explained.
On the way back, I suddenly thought of the broken hairpin.
"Aji, the hairpin is broken, is there any meaning?" Wang Yan asked casually.
"Grace and righteousness." Aji replied casually,
Wang Yan was a little stunned when he heard this.
"What if you accidentally break it?"
"Replace the broken one with a new one."
Aji suddenly turned his head and looked at Wang Yandao fixedly.
"Young master, the hairpin you gave to Madame is broken?"
Sometimes Aji's cleverness is quite unpleasant, and he wanted to suppress it so that no one would know, but he still guessed it.
"Don't guess, it has nothing to do with her!" Wang Yan coughed twice.
Aggie immediately understood and said no more.
"You just said that you would exchange a new hairpin for an old one?"
Aji glanced at his young master and nodded.
"If there is still affection, change to a new one, if there is no friendship, just expel from the house."
"It's just a hairpin, why make so many names." Wang Yan said in disgust.
"Young master, this is the law of etiquette, what was written into the code hundreds of years ago, has followed this law for hundreds of years."
"Etiquette must be correct?"
"Young master, are you okay, why did you think of discussing etiquette?"
"I just think that the current etiquette law is too restrictive for human rights!" Wang Yan said angrily.
"Human rights? Young master, you're not joking, are you? Aji glanced at Wang Yan and found that the young master's expression was serious at this time, not as if he was joking, and immediately said seriously.
"Young master, etiquette is the foundation of the country of all dynasties, I know you are not used to the hairpin ceremony, but its appearance is not unreasonable, if the things given by the husband are not cherished, let alone people."
At first glance, what Aji said has some truth, and many of the terms of etiquette can be glimpsed, but even so, Wang Yan still doesn't agree, who hasn't had an accident?
Etiquette is a cold topic, if you don't say it, I won't say it, and I will soon cross over.
Wang Yan also calmed down, the vulgar etiquette of feudal society can't be changed, where is this, maybe a few hundred years from now will be the peak of the feudal etiquette system, think about the previous life, didn't foreign countries still have that kind of country without human rights?
Now is not the time for me to try to change the world, first conform to this society to live is the last word, etiquette is not only for women, but also for men, but I haven't been exposed to it yet.
Now it is the first to gain a foothold in Yuanyang County and take root! Establish his own economic network, Mu Lao's craftsmanship will not disappoint his expectations, and Tie Lao is also confident on his side!
As for how perfect the charcoal can be, it depends on Tie Lao's ability.
"Aji, is there anyone making jewelry in the offering?"
"Yes! The jewelry made by Shan Lao is a famous beam! ”
Wang Yan looked at the sun, it was not too late, and he was about to visit Shan Lao.
"Young Master! Shan Lao made a hairpin, and he couldn't get down for ten days and half a month. ”
After speaking, Aji Thief whispered, "If you are in a hurry, there is a finished product in the treasure house!" ”
The treasure trove of the palace!
Young Master Wang had gone in there, and only Old Master Wang and himself could enter the entire palace, and the rest were not allowed to enter, not the Dong family.
I haven't been there for a long time, and I'm a little curious, so I followed Aji for half an hour before I walked around to the door of the treasure house.
The palace was built on the mountain, and the treasure house was hewn out of the mountain.
There were no guards in front of the treasure house, which made Wang Yan a little surprised.
Wang Yan walked to the door of the treasure house and found that Aji had stopped ten steps away.
Seeing the fear in Aji's eyes, he knew that this was the forbidden place of the palace, so he had to push open the door and walk in alone.
Pick up the fire fold and light the oil circuit on the side, and in an instant, the treasure house will be lit up with candlelight like daylight.
Although Wang Yan had been prepared, he was still stunned!
Oh, my God! The royal treasury is really shocking! Jewels, splendid! Glancing at the feet, the road is tiptoed up with gold bricks, the jade with the size of the grinding plate, exuding a green green light, the fist-sized gem, you can see it everywhere, the finger-covered pearls are scattered on the ground, and there is a fist-sized night pearl not far away, just before lighting the fuel road, the ghost light in the cave is emitted.
This piece of jade is crystal clear and flawless! This is worth at least hundreds of millions in future generations! It is true that the Wang family is the richest man in Yuanyang, but can the richest man in a county amass such a huge amount of assets!
Wang Yan walked into the depths, and the placement of things began to have a regularity, and soon Wang Yan saw the place where the jewelry was placed.
As Aji said, it is not ordinary, Wang Yan saw a golden hairpin on the left hand side of the second row at a glance, although the material is somewhat ordinary, but the little phoenix in the treetops is like a living one.
He thought that he liked the things he liked at first sight, and when he took the hosta, the other treasures in the treasure trove suddenly became meaningless.
When he left the treasure house, he found Aggie staring at him with burning eyes.
Wang Yan took out a gold ingot from his cuff and threw it to Aji.
Aggie suddenly laughed without a nose and eyes.
"Let's go home!"
Carrying the golden hairpin back to the courtyard, the two, three, and four were squatting on the threshold of the front yard to eat, and their food Wang Yan had greeted him in advance, so everyone could see some bones in their bowls.
Seeing Wang Yan coming back, the three of them hurriedly picked up the rice bowl and saluted Wang Yan.
"In the future, there is no need to come forward to salute without outsiders, how about it, is the food delicious?"
The three of them nodded.
"Eat more if it's delicious!" After speaking, Wang Yan crossed the three of them and walked back to the inner courtyard.
The side room was lit by a faint candlelight.
knocked on the door, but no one answered, so he simply pushed the door open.
Liu Yan'er really didn't lock the door.
The beautiful woman sat at the head of the bed with a gloomy expression, her face pale and a little frightening.
Wang Yan walked up to her and spoke.
"Take out the hairpin."
