Chapter 41: Do You Want to Make Another Bet?
Not long after, Wang Fusheng's hearty laughter came from the room: "Haha, the eldest nephew is here!" Come and sit in the house! ”
Wang Fusheng is dressed very plainly, and he has to hold a piece of grass in his mouth all year round.
Chen Qi came in the door, looked at Wang Fusheng's dress and teased: "Second uncle's style is really the same as it was back then!" If the second uncle was young, he might have been so romantic! ”
Wang Fusheng coughed dryly: "How can it, when I was young, I was an honest person, and I never thought much about messing around." ”
"Cut, who believes! When I was a teenager, I secretly went to the county seat to listen to music! My mother's house is dozens of miles away from Huanshan Village, how did we meet, you don't know it? ”
"If you are an honest man, then there is no ...... in the whole world"
Wang Fusheng's wife couldn't listen to it anymore, so she came out directly to debunk Wang Fusheng's nonsense.
Wang Fusheng suddenly feigned anger and said: "Eh, you don't hit people in the face, and you don't expose them when you scold people!" ”
"Hahaha!"
Chen Qi smiled and said: "Okay, second uncle, the matter between the two of you will be discussed later, I came to you this time to have something serious." ”
"Say, as long as your second uncle and I can do something, I will never shirk!" Wang Fusheng said briskly.
"That's the case, second uncle, didn't I build an earthen kiln on the mountain, if you want to make iron, the first thing is to burn the kiln and burn the ore!"
"You've done this in an official family before, you should know it very well!"
Wang Fusheng nodded: "Well, that's!" If you want to make iron, you have to warm up the kiln with a high fire, raise the overall temperature, and then put the iron ore into it to be fired! ”
"So, I want to ask the second uncle to use your official craftsmanship to burn."
As soon as Chen Qi said this, Wang Fusheng was suddenly a little silent.
"Big nephew, you have to let me think about this!"
"Because Dayan's law stipulates that people are not allowed to engage in private iron smelting, if it is discovered, it will be beheaded."
"As for the official family's firing skills, if it is discovered and spread, it will definitely be connected to the nine clans!"
"Eldest nephew, you want to get rich for everyone by smelting iron, and we have been poor for so many years, I can understand. However, I escaped from the official family, and if the official family finds out about my existence and I also pass on the iron-making skills, I am afraid that it will ......."
Wang Fusheng's face was embarrassed, and he was a little undecided.
When he was working in the official kiln, he was originally grounded for life, but one day the official kiln collapsed, everyone died, and only he escaped and fled back to his hometown.
After so many years, I don't know if the official family is still tracking him down.
Chen Qi pondered slightly: "Second uncle, actually, you don't have to worry about this. It's been many years since you left the official kiln, and after so many years, even if there is a trace, it is basically the same as nothing. ”
"After all, who would devote all their energy to a person who does not know whether he lives or dies. Moreover, we have a high mountain and the emperor is far away, even if it is a person from the county seat, he will basically not come over except for a murder case. ”
"All of our villagers are of the same mind, and no one will spread the news."
"Second uncle, if our earthen kiln is completed, and we can really make iron in large quantities, the production level will definitely be greatly improved, and at that time, everyone will be able to live a good life."
"Second uncle, in order to get rid of our days of oppression, we ......"
When Chen Qi was seducing Wang Fusheng, Wang Fusheng suddenly waved his hand to interrupt him: "Big nephew, you don't need to say it, I figured it out!" ”
"Why can the official family have good technology and make a fortune and live a good life, but we have to starve?"
"Damn, it!"
"Let's go, go into the house with the second uncle, and the second uncle will let you see a good thing."
After speaking, Wang Fusheng mysteriously pulled Chen Qi into the back room.
Then I rummaged through the boxes and found a picture album.
After opening it, all the records in it turned out to be the official method of refining ore.
Chen Qiru received a treasure, and immediately looked at it with hunger.
The modern refining technology is indeed good, but in some processes, Chen Qi feels that it is not as good as the ancient ones.
Therefore, he can only learn some modern benefits slightly, and most of the craftsmanship still has to rely on the ancient officials.
"Second uncle, thank you!"
"When we finish building the kiln, you can take someone to burn the iron ore of the kiln!"
"No problem, you can leave it to the second uncle!" Wang Fusheng patted his chest and promised.
After returning home, Jiang Yunying was a little worried.
"Chen Qi, I see that you are now focusing most of your energy on the earthen kiln, are you relaxed in the business of tofu and spicy noodles?"
Chen Qi waved his hand: "Lady, after having an earthen kiln, we will naturally be able to develop in a bigger direction!" As for the business of tofu and spicy strips, it can be greatly reduced. ”
"But what about the daily sources of the villagers? Moreover, your recipe is to be handed over to the county seat, and they will definitely find that the fairy water is missing. ”
"When the time comes, they will come to ask for fairy water, can you not give it? If they are all given out, the villagers will not be able to make money from this! ”
Chen Qi smiled: "As long as their price is fair and reasonable, then it is not impossible for the formula of the fairy water to be sold." ”
"Actually, they don't have to do the tofu business anymore. They can focus on the spicy strip business, and they can also raise chickens with excess energy. I've already told them how to do it, and as long as they do it, isn't the meat business bad? ”
Chen Qi smiled and said: "Lady, how do I feel that you have a feeling of having the world in mind?" ”
Jiang Yunying's heart shook slightly, and he coughed dryly: "How can there be!" I'm just afraid that the villagers will be oppressed by the government again and will not have anything to eat. ”
"Don't worry, lady, as long as they follow me, I guarantee that they will all eat enough and make a fortune from now on!"
Chen Qi smiled confidently.
Jiang Yunying shifted his gaze elsewhere: "Don't say it too early!" ”
"Hey, lady, shall we make a bet?"
Chen Qi was interested and said mysteriously.
"Don't fight!"
Jiang Yunying refused directly.
The picture of the bet with Chen Qi before was still vivid, and Jiang Yunying was a little jealous in his heart.
If you make a bet, you seem to lose.
"Hey, lady......"
......
After a few days of hard work, several earthen kilns on the mountain have been completed perfectly.
The fire-starting materials for smelting the iron ore were also prepared, and the strong laborers of the village carried hoes up the mountain to dig out the iron ore.
Those in the family who did not have the strength to do sowing went to sit on the edge of the kiln and did the smelting work.
