Chapter 31: Experiments
The next day, early in the morning, Qin Mu took a group of family members to start doing radio gymnastics to exercise.
After doing this, everyone assigns tasks and goes to the market to collect materials.
"No. 1, go buy livestock oil, try to be one, No. 2 go to buy flowers, buy a whole car, No. 3 go to help No. 2 go to a few more villages and bazaars to buy flowers, remember that as long as there is a kind of flower, No. 4 you go to buy soap, No. 5 go to the dyeing workshop to buy dyeing cloth pigments, remember to buy that bright color, yellow and pink or something, buy some white gauze, No. 6 go to buy wine, the more the better, and buy today's dishes, everything that is missing at home is bought.
Do you understand everything? ”
Several people shouted in unison: "Understood!" Chairman! ”
"Okay, go to Xiaoqing to get the money, everyone will pay ten yuan for running errands."
A few people were happy in an instant, and they could still have errand fees for helping them buy things, which made them all a little embarrassed.
After explaining the task, Qin Mu turned around and went to the backyard to look at the progress of building the equipment.
This morning, a large number of iron-struckers, kiln-burners, and a few others came to join in the fun.
Old man Zhang saw Qin Mu directly put down the work in his hand and shouted at the others.
"Hey, stop it, our chairman is here!"
Everyone put down their work and looked at Qin Mu with their brushes, looking at him all over their bodies.
Qin Mu beckoned, "You go on." ”
Then he went to the edge of the blacksmith's shop, where the stove was burning red, and the clanging sound was pleasant.
On the floor the straw mat is a large stove frame.
Qin Mu glanced at the workmanship, it was tightly sealed, the details were in place, and the hardness was enough.
Then as he walked inside, a cart of dirt was being carried at the back door.
Qin Mu walked up to the person who was making mud bricks and asked, "Is this the clay from the kiln?" ”
"yes, there's some ash and cement here."
"Cement? How do you know about cement? Qin Mu asked.
"No, is there going to be a road on the palace side? That Master Zheng asked all the kilns to do it, these days every day burning stones, all piled up into a mountain, this thing is too choking, the construction period is too rushed, it can't be completed, and people will die, so I came to you. Dahan explained.
"That's a coincidence."
"Xiao Langjun, don't worry, this stove will not break if it burns for three or four years."
Not far away, the eldest sister in the paste stove shouted.
"Well, everyone is busy, don't be in a hurry, what I ask for is quality, since there is no chef in the house, when the meal is ordered, you will go to the largest restaurant in the West Market, the West Wind Building to eat, I will treat you."
As soon as these words came out, these people were all happy.
"I've never heard of working in other people's houses and going to eat in restaurants, Xiao Langjun, what a generous!"
"I haven't been there to eat since I'm this old." A girl said.
"Chairman, we must do a good job!" Old Zhang Tou shouted.
After a while, No. 6, who had gone out to buy wine, was the first to come back, and he hurriedly ran to Qin Mu's side.
"Chairman, a group of monks came out here, saying that they wanted to make a fate, and they wanted us to get married."
"Yo roar, go, go out and have a look." Qin Mu smelled a hint of cattiness.
The Tang Dynasty worships Buddha, it stands to reason that the monks in Luoyang are so rich that they are not likely to come out to make a fortune, and eighty percent of them are here to find trouble.
The little novice who patted his head bowed to Qin Mu, "We are monks from the White Horse Temple, and we are here today to make a great deal of Buddhist friendship and prosperous business." ”
"Ah, White Horse Temple! Oops, someone! Hello to good wine and good food! Qin Mu pretended to be positive.
Several monks glanced at each other, this Qin Mu didn't play cards according to the routine.
"Don't need a donor, don't eat at noon, this is the rule of Buddhism.
I want to repair the Buddha hall in the White Horse Temple, and if the donor is generous, the Buddha will bless you. Xiao Shami said kindly.
"Really?" Qin Mu walked down the stairs to him, directly slapped him and asked, "Why didn't you Buddha protect you?" ”
Xiao Shami instantly became angry, and his face was hideous, and he wanted to make a move, but was stopped by others.
"Donor! You insult my Buddha disciple, believe me or not..."
"What's wrong? What are you doing? ”
Xiao Shami didn't pretend anymore, spread out his hands and said viciously, "Everyone in this West City has paid the sesame oil money, but if you don't pay it, you are not only slandering the Buddha, but also not giving the Queen Mother!" ”
Qin Mu picked up his hand and slapped him in the face, "What's wrong with me not handing it over?" Where am I not giving face to the Buddha? What's the difference between you collecting incense oil money from door to door and being a ruffian, aren't you slandering the Buddha? It's a shame that you still eat fasting and recite Buddha, worldly desires are so heavy, which Buddha do you read, and which way do you believe!
Syllable! Collecting money from door to door is considered greed!
Syllable! If you don't get money, you will intimidate me, and lose your temper as anger!
Distorting the Dharma without knowing anything is regarded as foolishness!
Are you TM a monk? Yes! ”
Xiao Shami was forced to retreat step by step, and half of his face was fanned red.
"You! You! … You hit me! ”
Qin Mu smiled disdainfully, "I'm not convinced, who saw me beat you?" ”
At this time, a group of people came out behind Qin Mu, who were the craftsmen who were about to eat after finishing their work in the backyard.
Seeing that the momentum was not right, a few small novices fled from the Li Mansion in a gray manner.
Lao Zhangtou asked, "What are those monks doing?" ”
"I'm here to ask for money."
"That must be the monk of the White Horse Temple, that is a newly built temple a few years ago, every year to repair the Buddha hall to ask for money, I donated a lot of money, and I didn't see the Buddha bless me!" Lao Zhangtou complained.
"The Buddha teaches you to be good, not to bless you, and the only one who can protect you is yourself."
Qin Mu turned around and greeted, "Big guys have worked hard, let's go to Xifeng Mansion to eat." ”
"Okay!"
Qin Mu watched everyone leave, this White Horse Temple should be the temple that Xue Huaiyi proposed to build, and he came to explore the wind today, and sure enough, as he expected, Xue Huaiyi and his father did not have a very good relationship.
"Okay, you Xue Huaiyi, let's see."
"Qin Mu!"
This is the donkey cart around the corner slowly walking this way, Wu Zhengji sat in front and waved at Qin Mu.
"So fast!"
Wu Zhengji trotted up.
"Of course it's fast, I'm familiar with this Luoyang, and there's a carriage left behind here to be your car."
Qin Mu pointed at Wu Zhengji, "Still a man understands a man, what about Xiaoqing?" Are you still out hiring? ”
"When I just came back, I saw her washing clothes with a group of mothers by the river."
"Yes, our Xiaoqing has become a friend of women, so there shouldn't be much of a problem in recruiting people.
So, you move the carriage to the backyard, and I'll go out. ”
Wu Zhengji nodded and didn't ask more.
Qin Mu walked out of the door and in the direction of the north.
The streets of Luoyang were still crowded, and Qin Mu looked at them, enjoying the smell of fireworks in the world.
A team of Jin Wu guards on horseback escorted the scouts past Qin Mu.
Qin Mu looked at the figure in the distance, thinking that the current Empress Wu was afraid that she had received news from the front line.
Although it was safe in the Imperial City, it was not yet the time for him to make a statement, and it was almost impossible to get out of control at any time.
After walking for half an hour, Qin Mu came to Beishi.
Across the Luohe River is the gathering place of the officials' residences, which is much more deserted than other cities, and there are more horse-drawn carriages.
The shops in the surrounding area are all selling fabrics, and there is not a single food vendor on the street.
Because in ancient times, officials were not allowed to eat on the streets.
Thinking of this, Qin Mu thought about opening a restaurant here to specialize in takeaway business, which should be good.
He asked all the way for a long time before he found the outstanding mansion of Tuntian Langzhong.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he was chased away by the family at the door.
"What do you see? Is this where you can look? Let's go! Jia Ding said angrily.
Qin Mu looked at his clothes, he had indeed dropped a lot, and there was no carriage, and his identity was folded again.
Qin Mu stood straight, "Little brother, please send a message to your head of the family, I was introduced by Zheng Zhou from the Ministry of Industry." ”
Qin Mu immediately took out a few taels of silver and stuffed them into their hands.
Jia Ding weighed it for a while, and his attitude was a little better, "Wait." ”
Qin Mu watched as the sun above his head was gradually obscured by dark clouds, and the sky seemed to be about to rain.
I waited outside for a long time and didn't see a reply.
A drop of water dripped onto Qin Mu's head, and suddenly a light rain fell, and Qin Mu came to the corner of the eaves to hide from the rain.
He crouched in the corner and tried not to get his clothes wet.
"Where did you come from, you stink, let's get rid of it."
Not far away, a carriage stopped, and two women's figures got out of the carriage.
The older ones at the head and the younger ones at the back looked like they were her daughters.
"Mother, he's just sheltering from the rain, why drive away."
"Well, let's go, just let him stay there."
