Chapter 69: Briquette Furnace

Since the beginning of winter, Beiting City has become more and more lively, although the snow can't stop falling, but it still can't stop the love of the people of Beiting for life.

With the gradual progress of the vigorous census in the whole of Beiting, the ID card has gradually become an important prop in people's daily life.

At first, the foreign caravans complained about the sudden and detailed inventory, but as soon as they heard that as long as they invested or spent more than 100,000 yuan in Beiting, they could obtain the "Beiting Friend Merchant Status", and the customs duties and commercial taxes for large transactions in and out of Beiting in the future would be permanently preferential.

The second half of the subsequent investment conference was even more popular, because Zhang Junma lived in seclusion behind the scenes, and Princess Jinyun attended the conference as the host, her superb political skills and flexible business acumen were simply better than Zhang Junma, whether it was the major businessmen in the Western Regions or the representatives of the countries in the Western Regions, they were all handled just right.

Even Zhang Peng, who was listening in the back, was dumbfounded, because he just told the eldest princess some of his business thinking and management methods from later generations once, but he didn't expect her to be able to draw inferences and comprehend it so profoundly!

Zhang Peng, who was a little dizzy, found that he still underestimated the ancients, and the advantage he had was just 1,300 years of knowledge, if it was really only about the talent of learning, one around him was counted as one, which one was not better than him Zhang Peng? The eldest princess, Latis, Gundam and Li Xiao are definitely all scholar-level figures in the later generations.

So when Zhang Peng saw the briquette stove that Gundam had spent more than half a month of hard work making, he turned on the mode of deliberately making things difficult.

"The iron sheet and chimney of the stove are not up to par, I know at a glance that you are letting the blacksmith hammer it out, it is too time-consuming and laborious, I want to mass-produce this thing and become a pillar industry in our North Garden, you can't be busy even if you find 10,000 blacksmiths to pick up hammers," Zhang Peng spoke in a loud voice, his tone was fierce, and the content was very vicious, "Don't you use your brains to do something?" The brain will not be used can be thrown away, saving you from wasting food every day. ”

Gundam bowed his head and was silent, he really didn't think of how to make a thin enough iron sheet, all the blacksmiths asked, and they all answered that it was manual beating.

"And this briquette! You made me a solid briquette? Zhang Peng seems to have found self-confidence, bullying a genius who has not yet learned is a rare experience, Zhang Peng is currently enjoying it very much, seeing Gouda's humble and teachable look, his voice became more and more stern, "You tell me, how long will it take to light your solid briquette?" Can a local horse ignite before it freezes its nose? Now I know, it's not that you don't have a brain, but your brain is solid and can't move! ”

Gundam is a good boy, he will never be aware of Zhang Peng's dark thoughts, he only thinks that the reason why the county horse master criticizes him so harshly is because he hates iron and steel, and because he is full of hope for himself, so he will be more and more disappointed if he does not do a good job.

"Uncle, it's all Gundam is not good, I made you angry, please punish Gundam," Gundam's attitude is really not to say, it is too decent.

Zhang Peng felt that he was like a big villain now, and when he saw Gundam's pitiful appearance, he finally stopped the poisonous tongue attack, and with a cold snort, he told Gundam about the method of rolling iron sheets with molds and stone grinders and the idea of honeycomb coal, and then enjoyed the praise of Gundam's wide-eyed and sudden realization and admiration for him.

Gundam left, and the stove remained.

Hehe, the hand-built limited edition stove, not to mention the exquisite workmanship, the key is still a big guy, just right in Xu Wanyi's empty bedroom!

"You're not doing this authentically!"

Doing this kind of thing is most afraid of being exposed, but someone witnessed the whole process of Zhang Peng's disgraceful behavior, and when he looked back, it was Xu Wanyi, she walked out from behind the screen in the back room with brisk steps, with her hands behind her back, her chest straight, and a smile teasing.

"This is obviously a good stove, but the durability of the furnace made by saying it is not as good as this one," Xu Wanyi sat down beside the stove by herself, skillfully opened the valve cover at the bottom of the stove, and then moved the hot water that was burning on the stove, and stretched out her hand to bake the fire, "You gave Gouda a design drawing, and when you opened your mouth, you asked for a briquette stove, and people took the trouble to build it for you, you didn't encourage the reward and didn't say anything, but spoke ill of each other...... Zhang Peng, you shouldn't be jealous, right? ”

"How is it possible, Mrs. thinks too much, how can a husband be the kind of narrow-minded person, but the high grade is still young, and he can't praise too much, otherwise it is easy to be proud, and the husband must not watch the motivated young man who thinks he is good being killed," Zhang Peng also sat down, very close to Xu Wanyi, with a generous tone and a sad expression, it seems that he is really a compassionate and compassionate teacher who is worried about his uncompetitive students.

Xu Wanyi just glanced at Zhang Peng and turned her head sideways, and moved the little horse to the distance: "Why didn't I find you so brazen before." ”

"Thick-skinned and eat a piece of meat, thin-skinned can't be fished," Zhang Peng is now basically immune to Xu Wanyi's words, and moved closer to Xu Wanyi again, "If it weren't for the thick skin, would the husband be able to successfully get married with a marriage letter back then?" ”

Xu Wanyi rolled her eyes and looked at Zhang Peng's ugly face angrily: "You are not only thick-skinned, but also wilted!" Let me tell you, it's not the style of my county lord's mansion to reward merit, I have ordered Jianping to call Jianping back, today, you must give him a reasonable reward, otherwise ......"

Zhang Peng looked at Xu Wanyi with a smile on his face: "Otherwise, what?" Can you still beat me? Alas...... That's it, it's love to beat, it's kissing, scolding, it's love, as long as you don't beat it to death, it's up to you. ”

Xu Wanyi looked at Zhang Peng with wide eyes, her face was flushed, and she had goosebumps all over her body, she couldn't hold back for a while, and raised her hand to grab Zhang Peng's collar: "Zhang Peng!" You...... Where did you learn all this obscene platitude, the lord of this county told you not to say such things to the lord of this county again, did you hear it! ”

"Oh, okay, whatever Madame says," Zhang Peng directly followed Xu Wanyi's strength and held Xu Wanyi's hand with both hands, "You let me reward Gundam, then it will be good to reward him for my husband." ”

Xu Wanyi couldn't stand Zhang Peng's attack at all, so she instinctively reached out to hit Zhang Peng's body, but at this time, there was the footsteps of Gundam outside the door.

"Shame on you! Hum! After speaking, Xu Wanyi fled back behind the screen.

Zhang Pengle looked at Xu Wanyi "absconding", and was proud in his heart...... Hey, let's see if you dare to debunk my mind again in the future.

When Gundam entered the room and saw Zhang Peng smiling all over his face, most of his nervousness disappeared in an instant.

"You have built the stove, this is a merit, a necessary reward, let's say, within my ability, I allow you to make a request," Zhang Peng said generously.

Hearing this, Gundam directly bowed and said loudly: "Gundam doesn't dare to ask for any reward, he just wants to ask for a place for his younger brother to enter Beiting University!" ”

"You are a smart person, you can see the prospects of Beiting University, not bad," Zhang Peng's eyes showed a look of appreciation, he poured himself a glass of water, and took a sip gently, "I heard that your mother brought your younger brother to Beiting to settle down two days ago, which is very good...... This request was agreed, by the way, what is your brother's name? ”

Gundam was visibly happy when he received an affirmative reply, and immediately replied, "My brother's name is Gao Shi!" ”

Zhang Peng immediately spit out all the water in his mouth.

"Say it again, what's it called?"

"Gao Shi, what's wrong?"
