Chapter 22 Without Zinc, the Calf Is Completely Finished
To put it bluntly, Fu Xianyue is just a twenty-two-year-old girl, going to college, falling in love, free, burning youth, just in her youth.
However, in Datang, it is an out-and-out older leftover woman.
In this era, after a girl has her first period, she can get married, but she has been working seriously in the Taishi Bureau for four or five years, and she wastes her youth for a hobby.
It's really hard to be alone every night and stay alone for eight or nine years.
Tonight, Fu Xianyue realized for the first time that she was a girl, with fantasies, shyness, and a liking for a man's back.
It seems that everything came too late, and the gap is outrageous.
Age, identity, status, are all gaps, but they don't stop the girl's fantasy.
However, Fu Xianyue temporarily hid her delusions, so she thought about making a dinner and being a maid for a good night.
Therefore, more than an hour later, Li Mu ate the most beautiful dinner in the Tang Dynasty.
There are only three dishes, one is stewed chicken with fresh mushrooms, one is stir-fried bacon with pickles, and one is stir-fried baby greens.
Smooth, comfortable, real taste of home.
With the rice, Li Mu ate quickly, Fu Xianyue stood beside Li Mu, served him vegetables, served soup, and watched him gobble it up.
Li Mu persuaded several times, but Fu Xianyue didn't eat with him, she suddenly liked to watch Li Mu eat and served him with her own hands.
"If there was wine, it would be perfect." Li Mu made inches.
Fu Xianyue said in embarrassment: "I want to drink, I originally had, but wouldn't it be good to drink?" ”
Li Mu said: "What's wrong? You don't eat because you're afraid of gaining weight, right? It's okay to drink, how many drinks shall we have together? ”
Fu Xianyue said: "It's not that I'm afraid of gaining weight, I don't get fat when I eat anything, and if I drink, I'll be messy." ”
If you are chaotic, Fu Xianyue can't say it even if she is killed, Li Mu smiled: "How do you know if you don't drink it?" Some things are only interesting when you experience them, so bring them to the wine and have a first time for everything. ”
Li Mu begged in every possible way, and in the end, Fu Xianyue compromised and brought a pot of old wine.
Li Mu drank three cups happily, Fu Xianyue didn't even finish one cup, tasted it lightly, blushed, coughed several times, ran out, and didn't come in again.
Li Mu doesn't want to be too presumptuous, although Datang is very open, but the reserved nature of girls is the most beautiful, and it is a crime to tease an older leftover girl like this, it is too bad, too rogue, and it is a crime.
Li Mu poured himself a drink, drank a pot of old wine, drank it cleanly, was full of wine and food, and then heard the sound of the drum in the distance.
Li Mu came out and found three bedrooms, one in the middle was dark, and the two rooms at both ends were lit up.
Li Mu chuckled, Fu Xianyue had already created a little distance for him, in fact, it was easy to break this distance, Li Mu shook his head, or gave up.
Do no evil.
Li Mu walked to his own room, pushed the door in, closed the door, there was no door bolt, he wanted to know, and then, there was no windfall.
Li Mu found that the quilt had been rolled into a tube, just waiting for him to get in, Li Mu reached out and touched it, the quilt was warm, Li Mu lowered his head and smelled it, a familiar fragrance.
Fu Xianyue, who is emotional, really regards herself as a maidservant, and even took advantage of him to drink, and has already warmed up the quilt for him!
My good girl, so caring, why don't you stop being direct and huddle for warmth, isn't it better?
Li Mu got into the quilt, and after a burst of cranky thoughts, he aroused the strength of the wine and fell asleep quickly.
One night, Li Mu felt that someone was folding the quilt for him, someone was beside the bed, looking at him blankly, and he felt that someone was feeding him tea......
When I woke up in the morning, it was already past midnight, and on the cabinet at the head of the bed, a cup of tea was still warm.
Did she come in? Maybe one night by the bedside and didn't leave?
Li Mu smiled, thinking it was also very interesting, reached out to pick up the tea, and drank it all.
Then he hurriedly got dressed, went out and looked around, making sure that Fu Xianyue had left.
Li Mu's body was sore, but he was not lazy, he found a wooden stick, and in the courtyard, he practiced the moves of the fairy sword seriously, and he couldn't stop as soon as he made a move, and he practiced for more than an hour before Li Mu stopped.
Li Mu washed up briefly, and as soon as he came out, the two officials of the Taishi Bureau, Zhou Qiang and Xu Renjie, came in early.
Both of them are twenty-six or seventeen years old, their attitudes are very sincere, Li Mu has seen them yesterday, but they didn't speak, the two introduced themselves and politely invited Li Mu to dine.
Li Mu was also not polite, eating breakfast and asked, "Aren't you Mr. Fu here today?" ”
Zhou Qiang said: "There are still some business trips in the bureau, which must be handled by Mr. Fu personally, and she will explain the two of us and fully cooperate with His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Li Mu knew that Fu Xianyue was shy, deliberately hid herself, and did not get entangled, after eating breakfast, Li Mu asked the two to take him and go to the processing site first.
Soon, the three of them came to Hengjie No. 6 Road in a carriage and entered an alley called Limin Lane, and the processing plant was not far from the mouth of the alley.
The Supervision Department specially sent an official named He Biao to lead more than a dozen craftsmen and wait for Li Mu.
Seeing Li Mu, he immediately knelt down and greeted Li Mu in unison, Li Mu comforted and praised a few words, and everyone saw that Li Mu was easy-going, and soon they were harmonious.
Li Mu asked: "Lord He, you first take me to see all the raw materials and processing equipment, I see what is still missing?" ”
He Biao was thirty-five or sixteen years old, and he looked stocky, and hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the word adult, He Biao can't afford it, please call His Royal Highness by his nickname." This side please. ”
He Biao led the way, Li Mu, Zhou Qiang, Xu Renjie, and went to the warehouse together, Li Mu took a look at it, and was shocked, all kinds of metal materials, processing equipment, classified into categories, and made three rooms.
Li Mu checked the names of various materials in turn, pig iron, wrought iron, refined iron, bronze, copper, brass, tin, lead, alum, mercury, cinnabar, including a silver ingot.
All the metal materials in the Tang Dynasty will be ready, and it seems that Li Longji's words are really too effective.
Li Mu nodded and praised while watching, Datang's processing industry seems to be very advanced.
After reading it, Li Mu thought about it, and always felt that something was wrong, and suddenly, Li Mu reacted and shouted loudly: "Where is zinc?" Why is there no zinc? I want zinc. You give me zinc. ”
Li Mu was like eating people, staring at the three of them and waving his hands.
He Biao, Zhou Qiang, and Xu Renjie were so frightened by Li Mu that they kept retreating.
He Biao asked, "Your Royal Highness, what's wrong with you?" Do you want a heart? Is it a pig's heart or a sheep's heart, heck, you're not going to kill someone, are you? ”
Zhou Qiang and Xu Renjie looked at each other, even more confused. Neither of them understands any of this.
Li Mu scolded angrily: "Pig's heart, do you have it?" I want zinc, I really want to kill someone. ”
He Biao kept waving his hand and said: "Your Royal Highness, as long as you don't really kill people and take your heart, everything is easy to say, you slowly explain it clearly, and I will answer it truthfully." ”
Li Mu sat on an iron ingot with a depressed buttocks. The three of them hurried around.
He Biao asked: "Your Royal Highness, the zinc you said is not made of meat, it is metal, what is it?" I haven't heard of it? ”
Zhou Qiang said: "Yes, His Royal Highness the prince made it clear, as long as Datang has it, we will do everything possible to get it for you." ”
Li Mu asked anxiously: "He Biao, are you sure that our Datang has not smelted a metal like zinc?" ”
Li Mu said, on the ground, with his finger written a big zinc word.
He Biao shook his head, and Zhou Qiang and Xu Renjie also shook their heads.
He Biao said: "Don't hide it from His Royal Highness, I have been working in the Supervision Department for almost twenty years, and all our metal materials are here, except for gold,"
Li Mu was extremely sad and asked: "So, the galvanizing process is even more nonsense?" ”
He Biao said: "Gold and silver plating, including tin and copper plating, are no problem, but the galvanization that His Highness said is absolutely not, because we have never even seen what zinc is." ”
"It's over the calf, go to his uncle's." Li Mu stood up and said a foul word. He has made many lightning rods by himself, but the main material is galvanized pipe.
There is no zinc, and I have never even heard of smelting zinc, so this is still a bird feather?
Li Mu was irritable, kicked according to the iron ingot, screamed, and almost kicked a broken bone.
"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness?" The three were overwhelmed with fright.
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, you guys go out first, I want to be quiet?" ”
