Chapter 44 Abnormal Climate

Hearing Fu Nian's words, the six-fingered black man's gaze was obviously dull.

Then he looked at Mo Jun, opened his mouth slightly, and said in surprise: "Sheng Pingjun is still proficient in the way of cooking?" ”

Mo Jun said modestly: "I understand a little, I understand a little." ”

Fu Nian on the side heard Mo Jun's words, and shook his head in his heart.

Got a little bit of it?

He sounded very ordinary in this matter, you must know that since he took the position of Mr. Teacher in Mofu, in just one month, Fu Nian found that his waist circumference had been fully rounded.

Now, when the belt is knotted, the rope is significantly shorter than before.

Confucianism pays attention to "not getting tired of eating, not getting tired of being fine".

Therefore, in the past, Fu Nian's requirements for food were not harsh, but they were also exquisite.

But at that time, Fu Nian only maintained a barely full stomach every day, but since he came to Hanzhong and joined Mofu, now Fu Nian cooks every day, starting with at least three bowls.

Anyway, if you eat too much and don't violate Confucian etiquette, why can't you eat more?

The six-fingered black man obviously didn't know Fu Nian's inner thoughts at this moment, he only knew one thing, that is, the Shengping Jun in front of him, who was not too young and crowned, mastered too many skills.

Just now that he knows, the other party has mastered the art of organizing, businessmanship, farming, and medicine.

And none of these skills are at the top level of the other party.

And now that Mo Jun has even mastered this kind of cooking skills to this extent, can it be said that the gap between people can really be so big?

"Speaking of which, Fu Nian has always heard that the Qin State is in a wilderness, so most of the Qin people are poor, but now it seems that the words in the book are still not true."

At this moment, Fu Nian looked out the window and suddenly spoke.

"Oh? Where did Mr. Fu Nian start with this? Mo Jun said with a little surprise.

"Sheng Pingjun's [Baichuan Restaurant] is a gold coin on the third or fourth floor, and the fifth or sixth floor is a gold coin, which is completely astronomical for ordinary people, but now the business of the restaurant is extremely hot, it is conceivable that there is no shortage of rich and noble people in the Qin State."

Hearing Fu Nian mention this, Mo Jun's face also showed a little contemplation.

It's also a bit strange to say.

Originally, the reason why Mojun built this [Baichuan Restaurant Headquarters] was mainly because there were a lot of materials left over from the construction of the [Mofu] and the [Xiongchumo Chamber of Commerce] headquarters at that time.

When building Mofu, the main use was green bricks.

But later, when the construction of the [Breeding Farm] and the [Xiong Ink Chamber of Commerce] began, the red bricks fired by Mojun were baked.

So a lot of materials were saved at once.

Therefore, combined with the later planning of Hanzhong County, he built such a restaurant nearby, and by the way, he built a cement road leading directly to the county seat.

Thinking that in this way, I can not only facilitate my own passage, but also make a small amount of money from those foreign merchants by the way.

Originally, those foreign businessmen came to Hanzhong to do business, even if they looked at Mojun's face, they ate and lived in [Baichuan Restaurant Headquarters], but each of them basically stayed for three or four days at most.

It stands to reason.

Even if this restaurant can make money for Mo Jun, it generally can't make too much money.

At most, it's two or three thousand gold coins a month.

What Mo Jun never expected was that in the past few days, Baichuan Restaurant suddenly had a lot of guests staying in private rooms for a long time, and even among these people, several of them were not on the third or fourth floor, but directly on the fifth or sixth floor.

To know.

Even when Mo Jun himself set the price of five or six layers, it was just for a gimmick.

Anyway, the real estate is not worth much now, not to mention that this restaurant is still built by himself, even if it is empty for three or four floors to advertise, there is no cost for Mojun.

Originally, Mo Jun didn't expect anyone to really go up to the fifth or sixth floor.

I didn't expect it.

Now there are not only people, but there are quite a few people.

And these people don't live for a day or two, but directly on a monthly basis.

On the fifth or sixth floors of [Baichuan Restaurant Headquarters], the consumption starts with at least five gold coins a day, and these people have a pack for at least a month, and the long one is three or five months.

The people in these private rooms alone brought Mo Jun an income of thousands of gold coins at once.

"Mr. Fu Nian's confusion, Benjun is also a little puzzled."

Mo Jun pondered: "Although the branch of [Baichuan Restaurant] in Xianyang during this time, the business is not bad. But if you want to say that you can attract guests from there because of this, come to Hanzhong hundreds of miles away, just to taste the delicious food, it is really unlikely. ”

There are indeed gourmets in this world who can travel thousands of miles for food, but such people are only a few after all.

What's more, if it's just for eating, you don't have to pay a monthly subscription directly at [Baichuan Restaurant Headquarters]!

And at this moment, I only heard the six-fingered black man suddenly remind: "It may not be for the food, Shengping Jun must not forget, where is the biggest gap between the restaurant where we are now and the rest of the inn restaurants?" ”

The reminder of the six-fingered black man instantly made Mo Jun's mind flash with inspiration.

"Is that ······ Heating? ”

Mo Jun naturally knows where the biggest advantage of his [Baichuan Restaurant] is to the outside world.

One is a delicacy that never appeared in the Warring States period.

The second is the environment inside the restaurant, which is warm in winter and cool in summer.

[Heating].

This is one of the test products of Mojun's ironmaking.

Some time ago, when the civil engineering was overhauled, some buildings in the [Mofu] and [Xiong Ink Chamber of Commerce] needed enough hard materials, so Mo Jun thought of reinforced concrete.

However, 'iron making' is different from the previous 'salt making'.

In the process of ironmaking, the requirements for carbon content are very high, and even if Mo Jun knows the theory in this regard, in the actual operation process, without the assistance of modern machines, it is still easy to have all kinds of accidents.

Until now.

In the ironmaking workshop that Mo Jun secretly built in Hanzhong, two out of every three furnaces of steel could be scrapped.

The inferior steel that was finally baked was later made into various agricultural tools and iron pots by Mojun and sold to the common people of Hanzhong and the merchants who came to Hanzhong.

Including the steel pipes that make the heating, are also part of it.

The amount of these iron tools is not much.

So it didn't get anyone's attention.

It is precisely because the current 'method of iron smelting' is not yet mature that Mo Jun has not told Ying Zheng.

However, even if the 'method of smelting iron' is perfected, Mo Jun may not be able to turn it in now.

First, Mo Jun's current status is too high, and he is really not suitable to continue to make meritorious contributions.

The second reason is that the current Qin State actually does not lack much of this 'method of iron smelting'.

Although the Qin State is still in the Bronze Age, the bronze craftsmanship of the Qin State has reached a peak, and in terms of quality, it may not be inferior to some inferior steel.

Moreover, the equipment of the Qin army is now second to none among the seven countries, and in terms of equipment, the Qin country is not lost to any country.

So even if you change to a new set of equipment now, it can only be regarded as the icing on the cake.

"Speaking of which, it does seem that this year's climate is a little colder than usual."

At this moment, Fu Nian added another sentence.

And this sentence also made Mo Jun react, it is already mid-November, except for the extremely southerly areas, and now the Central Plains region has basically entered the cold winter.

This year's winter started early, and the temperature has been cooling since October.

Even not so long ago.

Mo Jun also asked Chen Jinghui to issue a special notice, so that the people of Hanzhong County could go to the mountains and forests to pick up more firewood in case of emergency.

However, so far, although the temperature in Hanzhong has dropped a lot, it is generally still within the bearable range, so Mo Jun doesn't care.

But he forgot.

Because of the obstruction of the Qinling Mountains, Hanzhong County cannot be blown by the cold wave from the north every winter, so this place is actually considered a southern region.

And this year, even the south has cooled down so much, so how much temperature should the north north of the Qinling Mountains drop?

"Could it be that Xianyang ······ over there?"

Mo Jun looked through the window and looked north, and a vague premonition rose in his heart.

But soon, Mo Jun shook his head again, feeling that he was a little worried.

After all, if there is really something wrong in the north, it is estimated that Yingzheng has already sent someone to invite him now. It's not my turn to speculate here······

"Knock knock~~"

Mo Jun was thinking of this, and there was a sudden knock on the door of the room.

"Enter!"

Mo Jun spoke in a deep voice.

The next second.

With the sound of the wooden door being pushed, I saw a slender and dignified figure walking quickly through the door.

"My lord, Xianyang is urgent."

"Huh?"

Mo Jun raised his eyebrows, and then quickly took the letter from the moon girl's hand.

After just one glance, Mo Jun's face changed suddenly.

"Black Feather, prepare the car!"

"Yes!"

Black Feather emerged silently from a dark corner, and then its figure flashed, and disappeared from the room in an instant.

The six-fingered black man and Fu Nian turned their heads at the same time to look at the location where the black feather disappeared, although it was not the first time they had seen the black feather, but no matter how many times they had seen it, the two of them still couldn't help but be amazed by the light skill of the black feather.

Today.

People who can cultivate light skills to this level can be counted on one hand.

And such a person is now working under Mo Jun, which is what makes them even more amazed.

Mo Jun didn't know what the six-fingered black man and Fu Nian were thinking, and after he finished instructing Hei Yu, he said directly to the two: "Two, this gentleman has something important, take the first step." ”

Say it!

Mo Jun didn't even have time to accept the two of them in return, so he left the room in a hurry.

Seeing Mo Jun's demeanor, Fu Nian and the six-fingered black man also stared at each other and realized the seriousness of the matter.

Got into the carriage.

The coachman kept going, speeding all the way.

And when the carriage finally crossed the Qinling Mountains, Mo Jun lifted the curtain and saw a snow-white world directly in front of him.
