Yang Fan left early in the morning. He drank too much last night and stayed in the guest room of Tushan's house for one night. According to etiquette, it was already a bit rude.
Xiao Niangpi stayed at home, waiting for the correct procedure, and it was not appropriate to meet him again.
Yang Fan's top priority is to find a matchmaker to formally propose marriage. The three books and six etiquette are both indispensable.
This candidate is very difficult to choose.
After Yang Fan returned to the military camp, he began to prepare for the follow-up matters.
That night, in the bedroom of the main house of the Tushan family, an iron stove was burning brightly. The room was not just warm, it was even a little overheated.
The iron stove was sent by Xiao Niangpi, and he installed one for his own room, Tu Shanyong's bedroom, and his brother Tu Shanhu's bedroom.
Iron stoves and briquettes have begun to be put on the market in Xinghe Supermarket.
Iron stoves and briquettes became popular as soon as they were put on the market.
There are too many rich people in the capital.
As long as the stuff is good, you don’t have to worry about no one buying it. Compared with the charcoal basin, this thing is like heaven and earth. Once you use it once, you'll never want to leave it again.
Who doesn’t want to have a warm spring in the bedroom in winter?
The iron stove is kept open 24 hours a day, and a tin kettle sits on it, providing boiling water at any time. I want to make tea, I want to drink boiled water.
When I got out of bed in the morning, I no longer felt the bone-chilling cold. I hissed and hurriedly got dressed. The face wash water is also warm water.
In the evening, you can also take a foot bath as a family and then have a good sleep without getting too comfortable. Moreover, the room is no longer dry, and the skin of adults and children is no longer cracked.
Especially my wife and daughter’s skin has become hydrated.
In the past, the best way to keep warm in winter was to build a ground dragon.
In this era, only princes and ministers were qualified to build floor dragons in their houses, which was equivalent to the ancient version of floor heating.
It is to build a basement made of stone and glutinous rice soil under the building. Pile it with moderately watered sawdust and old tree roots, and it will burn for about a month after being ignited. After a month, clean out the ashes, refill and relight.
Heat is conducted upward, and the heat-resistant stone conducts the temperature to the ground, making the room as warm as spring.
This is Nuan Pavilion.
This is what the Xinuang Pavilion of Qianqing Palace is like.
The Ming Dynasty had strict requirements on architectural form. The vast majority of people have neither the financial resources nor the qualifications to build earth dragons.
This kind of burning is very expensive, the sawdust is difficult to collect, and the old tree roots are resistant to burning, but it is difficult to dig and consumes a lot of man-hours.
As for ordinary people, it would be good if they could have a fire pit.
Anyone who has been in the north knows this. A heated kang doesn't do much to raise the room temperature. The kang was very hot, but the room was still very cold.
Moreover, the firewood in the suburbs of the capital has long been exhausted. Firewood is not cheap.
As soon as briquettes came out, the winter heating pattern in Beijing was completely broken.
This new method is clean, hygienic, provides hot water, is convenient, warm and cheap.
Because of his good sales performance in Zunhua, Zhuzi has been transferred to the capital to be responsible for the sales of briquettes and iron stoves.
After Zhu Zhu came to the capital, he also invented a special offer for installing an iron stove and giving him window sealing. After the window cracks were glued, there was no draft at all in the house and it was even warmer.
Zhuzi heard that Miss Tushan's family was also in the capital, so he quickly sent a carriage and installers to install three sets, plus three thousand briquettes.
The little girl smiled happily and praised Zhu Zhu for being sensible. Seeing Hong'er following behind Zhu Zhu, Xiao Niangpi became even more happy. The pillars look more pleasing to the eye.
Xiao Niangpi patted Zhu Zhu's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, that bitch Lin Yueru, if you dare to come to trouble, you can come to me."
Tu Shanyong was sitting cross-legged on the bed, wearing underwear, with his arms open and his chest exposed.
On the small Kang table, there is a set of exquisite wine sets with gold patterns, and the glass is French Purdeaux wine as red as blood. A Silver Chalice ice bucket is filled with small ice cubes frozen in boiling water using stainless steel molds.
Tu Shanyong used stainless steel clips to clip some ice cubes and put them into his and his wife's wine glasses. Tu Shan shook the wine glass, and the ice cubes clinked against the gold-painted cup. What is good-looking.
Tu Shan took a sip. The cold wine felt very comfortable in his throat.
"Hey, that's really good stuff!" Tu Shan nodded with satisfaction.
Mrs. Tushan also took a sip. He said: "Master, why is this wine as red as blood? It looks scary, but it tastes really good. Is this brought from the Western Regions?"
"What do you know about a woman like you? Wine from the Western Regions can't have this effect. Smell the rich aroma of wine in this room. This is a fine wine from the French country of France, and this wine needs to be made with this long mouth. Only when the decanting bottle is awakened can the best fragrance be produced." Tushan said.
Mrs. Tushan said aggrievedly: "I am not like the master, so I know so much. But Yang Qian is really generous. One thousand taels of gold. Isn't he impulsive? Don't regret it later."
Tu Shan was so angry that he didn't want to talk to her: "If it weren't for your nonsense, he would be afraid of embarrassing everyone, so why would he give such a colorful gift? He is not short of money, but the gift is indeed too much."
Mrs. Tushan hurriedly said: "Then we have to accept it. We will have to spend a lot of money in the future."
Tu Shan said speechlessly: "What kind of person is Yang Fan? How could he eat back what he said? You thought it was your brother and your father. Just wait for the matchmaker to come to your door. When it comes to the betrothal gift, you will not miss a cent." of."
"This girl is very lucky this month. She is marrying such a good husband. I wonder what kind of wife our tiger will be able to marry in the future." Mrs. Tushan said sourly.
Tu Shan rolled his eyes at her, this woman really couldn't get on the stage.
Mrs. Tushan glanced at Tushan Yong cautiously and whispered: "Master, have you heard? Our son-in-law started Xinghe Supermarket. He is making a lot of money every day. He has recently launched iron stoves and briquette businesses."
Tu Shan glanced at her and asked, "What do you want to say."
"Sir, Xinghe Supermarket sells very cheap rice. Although it is old rice, it only costs one cent and five cents a load. If it is sold to other places, it can be doubled. My father and my brother really want to buy 100,000 loads. They were trafficked to Shaanxi and sold, and they promised to give us a penny per load."
"Since there is something for sale, why don't they just go to Xinghe Supermarket to buy it themselves? Why are they looking for us?"
Mrs. Tushan murmured for a while and then said cautiously: "I heard that Xinghe Supermarket has changed its rules. One person can only buy ten kilograms of rice a day. Even if you want to buy large quantities, you can't."
Tushan couldn't help but sneer, thinking that she had changed her temper recently and had been quiet for a few days, but she didn't expect to be waiting here.
"Do you know how a Xinghe supermarket can have so much food?"
"How do I know where they got the food from?"
"Hmph, tell those two people who want money rather than their lives that the shareholder behind the supermarket is the Queen."
"Ah!" Mrs. Tushan was so frightened that she collapsed on the bed.
