But the bandits invaded, took up residence in Lingao, defeated the army, and laid siege to Guangzhou... He knew nothing about these major events. Isn’t he still Australian? !
This is really strange...
Mr. Wang's year has not yet ended, and I heard him say again:
"Oh, that Wang Zhitai can't live for a few more months, and then someone should take over." Mr. Zhou took out the code book and checked, "Yes, that's right, he will take office next year."
"Oh, I seem to have heard your husband mention it before, but this matter is of great importance and I need to consider it in the long run." Wang Yehao couldn't digest it for a while. I had no choice but to change the topic, "Yourong has been here for the past few days, and I don't know if it will suit Mr.'s wishes."
"Not bad, not bad." Mr. Zhou nodded repeatedly, showing a lewd smile.
You look down on the fine thin horse, but you are happy with the servant girl under the stove! Mr. Wang was secretly contemptuous. But it's okay, at least it saves him money.
"I wonder if there is any sign of a dream bear?"
"Dream Bear?"
Zhou Lezhi quickly whispered: "Master Wang is asking if you are pregnant."
"Oh, oh," Mr. Zhou looked helpless and shook his head, "No."
"Why don't you ask a doctor to take a look..."
Mr. Zhou's complexion suddenly became very ugly, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with anyone questioning his ability in this area.
The old fox in Mr. Wang's officialdom is best at observing people's emotions. He already understood what was happening and secretly thought that although the Hearthstone Immortal was lecherous, he had a difficult time having children. It seemed that he would have to use Zhou Juli's old method to restrain him.
"I just got a good shipment of Korean ginseng last month. I'll ask Wang Liang to send it over tomorrow. It might be helpful."
"Thank you very much. I hope it will be effective."
In order to change the topic, Mr. Wang brought up the construction project on Dongyang Farm.
After buying Dongyang Farm, Mr. Wang also consulted the Hearthstone Immortal about "construction projects". Mr. Zhou was not very interested in this matter at first, but he suddenly changed his mind after seeing the "Grange Panorama" from Dongyang. Not long ago, it was proposed to build a water mill in the villa using the abundant mountain water sources. This time he brought it up again.
"The anvil house has been around since ancient times, and it is excellent for pounding rice. However, there is not much land in this farm. How much rice can we produce?" Wang Yehao disagreed. In terms of farm land, spending money to build a water anvil house is not as good as manual rice pounding. When it comes to processing on behalf of customers, Dongyang is mostly in mountainous areas, with few and scattered fields. The rice yield is not large, so it is not worthy of special transportation and processing.
"In addition to rice, the hydraulic anvil can grind many things." Mr. Zhou was confident, "For example, incense."
Traditionally, making various incense is to crush and mix various plants or minerals containing spices. If no binder is added, it is loose incense, and if binder is added, it is incense stick or incense stick. There is nothing mysterious about technology.
"This stuff is everywhere in Dongyang and can't be sold for much money." Wang Yehao said, "It's just that there are no precious spices in Zhejiang Province - good spices come from Nanyang and the West, and are transported thousands of miles to Dongyang to make incense. There’s no profit left.”
In Dongyang, the only plants that can be called spices are camphor and cypress. The market has long been filled with cheap incense sticks. The Wang family can only make a small amount of money by getting involved.
"I know this. I am also from my hometown." Mr. Zhou seemed confident, "There are no spices in Dongyang, but there is always Artemisia annua."
"Artemisia annua is everywhere, but it is used to incense and repel mosquitoes in summer." Wang Yehao shook his head subconsciously, "It can also be used as mosquito repellent, but it is too smoky."
This thing is indeed effective in repelling mosquitoes, but all it uses is Artemisia annua sticks. Bundles of Artemisia annua are dried in the sun and rolled into incense sticks with soil paper, which are burned and used to repel mosquitoes. The smoke was billowing, the mosquitoes were driven away, and the smoke was unbearable for people. Doors and windows must be opened indoors for ventilation.
"This is a wrong way to make incense." After saying that, the Hearthstone Immortal took out a note from his body and said, "If you ask the farm to make it according to my formula and process, the smoke will be much smaller."
Wang Yehao didn't take it seriously. He looked at the raw materials on it and found that there were nothing expensive. They could all be purchased cheaply in Dongyang. It's okay for the Hearthstone Immortal to want to do something new. The most indispensable thing in the mountains is waterfalls. It doesn't cost much to build an anvil house.
"In that case, I'll just ask someone to build one."
"Alas, I also have a secret method for this anvil house, which is not available in the Central Plains. If I have time, I still want to go to the farm in person to guide the construction."
There was a trace of doubt in Mr. Wang's eyes, as if he was doubting his motives. Zhou Lezhi was secretly worried when he heard his husband say: "I have also saved some money myself. If the money for renovation is not enough, I can also use the money to invest in shares!"
Zhou Lezhi sneered that Mr. Really has no eyesight at all. Is this a matter of money? !
Unexpectedly, Mr. Wang nodded: "It's good that you have this heart. But it's just a farm, and you don't need money to run it and grow it." He thought for a while, and he was in control of Dongyang anyway. Besides, the overall situation has been decided now, and I have to wait until next year to go to Guangdong and Guangxi. It is useless to keep him for more than half a year. It is better to let him toss and see what his intentions are! Immediately said: "In this case, the students will send someone to escort Mr. to Dongyang soon."
"Okay, okay," Zhou Xianren beamed, "Dongyang is a good place."
"It's late at night. Sir, I will rest in this study for the night."
After seeing Mr. Wang off, Zhou Lezhi helped his master make the bed and pour water, and then helped his master wash up. Unexpectedly, the Hearthstone Immortal had no intention of sleeping. He sat on the bed with bright eyes and a complicated expression.
Zhou Lezhi was secretly worried, could his husband have any plans?
He had never told himself about going to Dongyang, but he knew that his husband hated the local climate. The climate here is completely different from that in the south. When it doesn't rain, the sky is filled with wind and sand, and when it rains, the ground is covered with smelly mud. Not to mention Master, even Zhou Lezhi is not used to it. When he heard that Mr. Wang might go to Guangzhou to take office, he cheered a little in his heart.
But what does the sudden suggestion of going to the farm in Dongyang to build some water anvils mean? Could it be that the immortal is running away? Naturally, the Kun thieves making trouble in Qiongzhou Mansion are the immortal's "fellow townsmen". It is normal for Mr. to be homesick and run away to go home.
But, if my husband wants to run away, can I run away?
In the past two years, I have served Mr. Wang in Mr. Wang’s house. Not only did I have no worries about food and clothing, but I also learned a lot from him. I don’t know whether the knowledge is useful or not. If my husband ran away, he would naturally go back to Australia, and I definitely couldn’t follow him. But if he doesn't run away, let alone whether Mr. Wang will deal with him, even if he is magnanimous, he is useless and can only pack up and get out.
Even though the clan had a mouthful of food from him, they were just starving to death. How could it compare to the fact that they were enjoying the food, drinking, and teasing the maids and aunts...
Within a few minutes, Zhou Lezhi made up his mind that he could not let Master go!
Just as he was thinking about it, his husband suddenly called him over. Zhou Le was shocked, fearing that the master might have a glimpse of his thoughts, so he hurried over.
"Look what this pile of Australian junk is?"
Zhou Lezhi had already seen these things just now. Except for a few broken glass pieces, which he could probably guess to be some kind of glassware, he couldn't understand the various other junks. Instead, he saw the pile of metal pipes and castings on the ground. Somewhat understand.
"Students cannot see these things on the table. As for the things on the ground, they seem to be accessories for the boiler - Mr. Wang also said just now that these are machines powered by the power of water and fire in Ziming Tower."
"You are right, but there is still something lacking." Mr. Zhou kicked these broken copper and iron pieces, "This is the shower head, used for bathing..."
"Shower head."
"Yes, many people in Australia call it that," Mr. Zhou said. "This row of copper pipes is actually a heat exchanger - I told you what a heat exchanger is."
"Yes, students remember."
"Well, what about this?"
"It's a valve. It's used on water pipes."
"Well, you haven't forgotten it yet." Mr. Zhou said and sighed, "It's a pity that this set of things was very exquisitely made, but it was smashed. However, they are really amazing, and they can actually make so many things. …”
Zhou Lezhi didn't dare to interrupt, and just watched from the side as his husband rummaged through the garbage on the table with great interest. While muttering to himself:
"Fuck! Isn't this a bandage? The medical waste has also been collected!" "Hey, I've also found a helmet! Why don't you wear a helmet in battle?"... "Sulfonamide?!"
Mr. Zhou suddenly screamed, holding a small tube in his hand.
The pipe looked like it was made from thin bamboo cuts. It was covered with a layer of raw lacquer, and the seal was made of wax, which was already broken. There is something written in small black letters on the bamboo pipe.
Apparently, this thing shocked the gentleman very much.
"Sulfonamides can actually be made!" The gentleman frowned, "I can't believe it, I can't believe it..."
When he was teaching medicine, he said: Sulfonamide is the most basic antibiotic and can be used to deal with lower-grade infections.
"Sir, this medicine should not be as good as the medicine in your gourd..."
"Yes, it's far from it." For some reason, a wry smile appeared on the gentleman's face, "But a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. With this, it's great." As he said that, his expression changed again. I have to get excited, "It's amazing, it's amazing..."
As he spoke, he picked up another piece of garbage and looked at it...
The identification and teaching of Australian garbage continued until the Hearthstone Taoist priest himself began to feel sleepy and yawned. Zhou Lezhi had been very sleepy for a long time. By the time Mr. Waiting went to bed, it had already been three o'clock, and he was so exhausted that his bones and muscles were numb - Mr.'s style of attending classes anytime and anywhere was really too much for him.
As soon as he arrived at the outside of the study room and wanted to spend the night there, Wang Liang suddenly opened the door and came in.
"My master has instructions," Wang Liang lowered his voice to almost a whisper, "When you go to Dongyang in a few days, you should pay close attention to the Hearthstone Master."
