Chapter 4: The Legend of the Cat Ghost (36) - The Fierce Fire Oil Tank is also called a flamethrower

☆☆☆

"The 'hour'?" Li Zhiyi felt incredulous and repeated, "Shiting?"

Chris nodded, "Those sticks are actually sundials! If you look closely, you can see that they take on different shadows depending on the position of the sun, corresponding to the time of day and the time of year." Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info no matter where you walk in the pavilion, as long as you look up at the shadow of the wooden strips in the room, you can know the time at any time, which is very convenient. ”

"And such a use, amazing! No wonder Lord Shen said that this is not a common viewing pavilion, it turned out to be a time pavilion!" Li Zhiyi paused, looked around again, and said, "But, to imitate a sundial, why use so many wooden strips and go to such great lengths?"

"Hehe, Uncle Duan's question is on point. "Actually, these sticks of wood are used to build houses, and they are temporarily stored here. I felt that it was piled up and piled up, and when I had nothing to do, I made a temporary pavilion out of these wooden sticks, but it will be demolished in the spring of the next year......"

Li Zhiyi listened to Chris's interpretation, and liked this peculiar pavilion more and more, and when she heard this, she was anxious again: "Demolished? A good pavilion was built, how can you say that it will be demolished?"

"I'll use these wooden strips to build a new ...... here," the word "Workshop came to his lips, and Chris swallowed it back and put it another way, "a much bigger house than the current one." ”

According to Chris's plan, her machine workshop was to be connected to the underground machine city. Even if the underground works built by Mo Dai were not affected by the cold winter weather, they would not be largely completed until the following year, so Chris built this "Time Pavilion" in response to the beautiful scenery of the bamboo sea, firstly, to store the wood in an aesthetically pleasing way, and secondly, she temporarily used the Pavilions as a drawing studio.

"I think it's good now!

Li Gonglin smiled softly and said, "It seems that Uncle Duan likes your pavilion very much! I don't want you to demolish it!"

"Yes, it's a lot of trouble to tear it down and build a new one!"

Chris waved his hand and said: "It's not troublesome, this pavilion is all fixed with mortise and tenon components, without using a nail, it took three days to set it up, if it is demolished, half a day is enough!"

"What?" Li Zhiyi couldn't believe her ears. The construction period to build a house is at least a month, not to mention that it only took three days to build two pavilions of this size?

Hu Shuxiu didn't interject for a long time, and suddenly opened his mouth: "The slave family heard that Ouyang Gongzi was going to rebuild a big house, but to build a big house, try to use good logs, preferably a whole wood surrounded by several people...... Now that all your timber has been cut into long strips of wood, how are you going to build this big house out of them?"

"Haha! Brother and Sister Xian are really smart, and they asked the key point at once!" Shen Kuo gave a thumbs up.

Chris looked sideways at the big box placed aside, and said, "This pavilion can be completed, in fact, it has a lot to do with the good things brought by Lord Shen!"

Hu Shuxiu and Li Zhiyi looked at each other and smiled, both feeling that today's trip was in vain, and what they saw and heard was one mystery after another.

Next, Shen Kuo opened the wooden box, and there was a large cabinet made of wrought copper inside, which really had some weight. Xiong Daiying and Chris worked together to lift it out.

Several people were interested and gathered around to watch.

The copper cabinet is square, with four legs under it, four small tubes on it, and a horizontal cylinder placed on the tube.

Li Zhiyi looked at it for a long time, but couldn't distinguish it, so she asked, "What is this?"

Both of them answered at the same time.

Shen Kuo said: "This is the fierce fire oil tank!"

Chris said, "Flamethrower!"

Li Zhiyi repeated: "Fierce fire oil tank?"

"Flame...... Ejector?" Shen Kuo muttered, "Flamethrower...... This name is more understandable than the fierce fire oil tank, Ouyang Gongzi is really a wonderful person!"

Chris is embarrassed, Lord Shen, who loves to shoot sycophants, is online, so I'll shoot it back! She hurriedly said: "It's easy to say! Lord Shen is well-read and knowledgeable, and he is really a genius in the world! If he hadn't asked you for advice, how would he know that this fierce fire oil tank would not have been built...... In the heart of the sincere convincing, admiration and admiration!"

"Ashamed ashamed ......"

Hu Shuxiu saw the two of you coming and going, and cleared her throat impatiently.

Shen Kuo smiled awkwardly, Chris coughed lightly, and said, "Get back to business, get down to business......!"

It all goes back to the fire a week ago.

After the fire, Chris slept soundly in the big bed of Goban, and slept for a whole day, until he woke up in the middle of the night. After a brief wash, Xiong Daiying waited for her to eat, while the puppy talked to her about the aftermath of the fire. I heard that there were too many wounded in Wufan, so I had to transfer a group of new recruits from the forbidden army, and I had to conduct special training in the next two days.

As soon as the word special training was mentioned, the shadow of the sword shop appeared in Chris's mind. While she was immersed in eating, she muttered in her heart how the god hunting master would "train" herself. Thinking so, she looked up and suddenly saw that the shadow of the sword shop became extremely clear, she reached out and waved her chopsticks, wanting to fan away this nasty phantom, who knew that there was a crisp sound of "popping" the flesh against the meat.

Her hand was falling on the sword's face. It's a real person! She quickly withdrew her hand and said, "There was a mosquito just now...... Wrong...... Flies, I'm chasing flies!", he said, waving his hand elsewhere.

The corners of the puppy's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart: What time is this, where do the flies and mosquitoes come from?

Seeing that Jian Yan had a cold face, although he was not angry, and his straight eyes were also staring at people, Chris stammered, "You made it up yourself...... I just hit you...... Can't blame me......" Before she finished speaking, she suddenly laughed, it turned out that the rice grains stuck on the chopsticks just now were thrown into Jian Shi's face by herself, and she added a "beauty mole" to him.

Jian Shi didn't pay attention to the grain of rice, and only asked, "Can the envoy rest?"

"I've slept for too long, my head hurts a little...... "Chris rubbed his temples pretendedly, feeling that Jian Yan's attitude was too strange, and an ominous omen welled up in his heart.

"After coming down from the fire, no matter how tired and sleepy the soldiers of Wuban were, they still ate and slept on time! This is a barracks, not an inn!"

Chris looked left and right, in fact, it was the same as the night when he first arrived at Wuban, although the lights should have been turned off and going to bed at this point, most of the people were still awake. Before the sword came in just now, they were still talking and laughing with themselves, and they all lay down, and the room was so quiet that they could probably hear the hair falling from the roots. She complained in her heart: A group of guys who see the wind and rudder!

Jian Yan squinted at Xiong Daiying and said, "Ouchi's shadow guard, I think he looks like an old mother who serves people!

Chris laughed dryly twice, and scolded in his heart: A chicken is a prelude to stirring up trouble!

"Adults like to do things wantonly, this has something to do with me! And it's better to sleep upside down day and night, just accompany me out for a walk and admire the moon!"

Look at your sister's moon! Chris scolded in his heart, waved his hand and said, "I haven't finished eating yet......!"

Jian Yan stretched out his fingers and wiped the grain of rice on his face, and brought it to Chris's mouth, she was talking, and she held her finger in her mouth.

"Gollum ......" As Chris swallowed, the grain of rice went into his stomach.

Jian Yan withdrew his fingers, smiled while wiping it on her, and said, "Lord personally feeds you, now you are full!"

Not to mention that he was full, Chris was about to throw up.

Seeing this, the puppy immediately turned his head and said in his heart, "Oh, my dear mother! This is blatant flirting......, isn't it? Don't listen to indecent acts......

Without waiting for Chris to react again, Jian Yan pulled her out without saying a word. The same fate as before, but the posture of being dragged away has changed. Last time, it was to catch the chicks, she didn't do half of the resistance, this time it was to carry the kitten, and the paws of resistance scratched in mid-air, although it was useless, but I have to say that it was also a kind of progress.

Xiong Daiying sighed and had to follow.

Where is there any romantic walk under the moon? Just like the night before, the sword shop took her on the night patrol, walking through the streets and alleys until dawn, and they ushered in the morning with the sound of the husband striking wood.

This is not the end, she bought some food at a roadside stall for breakfast, and Jian Shi took her to the team to train the recruits of the Hidden Fire Army. After such a series of twists and turns, when he returned to the barracks, Chris was already sleepy again, lying on the bed, and when he woke up, it was night again. In the middle of the night, the sword shop will appear again as usual and take her on a night patrol.

Chris is officially living a nocturnal life as a night owl.

Here, the special envoy sent by the official family to supervise the fire is not pretentious, and every night he patrols the night with the god who is also the "fire officer", checking the fire and fire prevention, and doing it himself. The people of the capital were grateful to the official family and the empress dowager, and praised the new emperor for adhering to the rule of Renzong, attaching so much importance to the fire policy, and sympathizing with the hardships of the small people.

Zhao Ji in the palace won the hearts of the people because of this matter, and he was a little more angry when he talked to a group of old ministers in the court. In private, there are still people who return to the palace to report, saying how Lan Yuanxiao is not in human shape and how tired he is when he is tossed, Zhao Yuanxiao's mood is beautiful and indescribable.

In addition, it is also rumored in the streets and alleys that this little blue adult is a handsome young man, with a gorgeous appearance, slender and white, and charming like a beautiful woman. In order to catch a glimpse of them, some good people waited until midnight on the way through the night watchmen.

It's a pity that these people can't wait left and right, because the sword shop takes Chris to take a different route every day. For several nights, they almost turned around the forty-six squares of the old city. At first, Chris was still resentful, feeling that his legs were thinner. I thought: I really can't stand it, reveal the identity of the queen mother, and scare him half to death. However, she felt that she and Lan Yuanzhen and Zhang Ruoshui boasted that they had come to Haikou specifically to suffer, and she couldn't bear this hardship, and she would be laughed at by her brother when she went back, so she endured it in one breath.

However, the more time she spent with Jian Yan, the better she understood this person. He does absolutely not do anything randomly. took himself to the Wanghuo Tower and went to Wuban, his original intention was to warn himself that fighting fires is not child's play, and it is not without improvements. Thinking about it this way, Chris was relieved, and said in his heart: Although you have a bad attitude and rough behavior, you are indeed conscientiously performing the duties of a "fire officer".

Early that morning, bidding farewell to her husband, Jian Xi took Chris and Xiong Daiying into a restaurant.

Because it was early in the morning, there were no customers in the store. Jian Shi greeted him, and a middle-aged woman hurriedly came out of the small kitchen inside, and when she saw that the person was extremely enthusiastic, she spoke in the southern dialect, and Jian Shi also changed to the same accent.

The proprietress chose a clean square table, invited them to sit down, and went back to the back kitchen to get busy.

Jian Yan said: "This lady makes snacks from my hometown, which tastes good. ”

Seeing that Lan Yuanxiao was not compatible, as soon as he sat down, he took out a small book and a strange pen that did not use ink, and began to paint. Xindao: This stinky boy has been busy with his notebook these days, I leaned over to see, he still covered it and didn't let him see it, I don't know what kind of fame he is doing?

Xiong Daiying saw that he was a little cold, so he asked casually: "Is the hometown of Shenzhu Mingzhou?"

"Exactly," Jian Shi replied, "Mingzhou people like to eat soup and fruit the most, I asked for three bowls of sweet potato soup and fruit today, please two of you try it!"

After a while, the eldest lady brought three bowls of steaming soup fruit.

Jian Yan drank unceremoniously.

Xiong Daiying glanced at Chris, knowing that she wouldn't stop writing until she was busy, so she didn't persuade her. He blew the hot air, took a sip of the soup, and exclaimed, "There is wine added to this?"

At this time, the eldest lady sent fried rice cakes again, and said: "Sweet potato soup fruit is to be brewed with wine, Mingzhou dialect calls the lees 'paddle board', rise, rise, drink the soup fruit will respond to this 'good fortune, high fortune'! plus the dumplings in the soup, there is also the meaning of 'reunion' and 'consummation'!"

Xiong Daiying scooped it with a soup spoon, and the soup fruit in the bowl, which was much smaller than the size of the rice balls, tumbled up and down, and it was slippery in the mouth, coupled with the soft glutinous sweet potato, it was indeed delicious. He asked, "Are you particular about the sweet potatoes in this?"

The eldest lady said: "Yes, yes!"

Jian Shi suddenly interjected: "Mingzhou must eat sweet potato soup and fruit on the winter solstice, just to 'turn' all the bad luck of the year! Auntie, I still come to you to ask for a few bowls on the winter solstice this year, to get rid of bad luck!"

The eldest lady said happily: "The god catches the lord every day! You are the pride of our Mingzhou people, the lady burns incense to tell the Buddha, and asks God that no bad luck can fall on the god catcher!"

Jian Yan laughed and said, "Then I want to drink an extra bowl today!"
