Xiangli Zhu frowned when he heard Li Shui's intention to make a pot, and said, "I haven't studied papermaking yet, so why do I suddenly want to make a pot again?"
Li Shui said: "There is a general direction for papermaking, and the rest can be left to the craftsmen. If you continue to study it, it will just be the icing on the cake, and it will have little effect. For a genius like you, if you lay the roadbed well, the rest will Just let the stupid people do it."
"But now, we use copperware, pottery, and good ingredients for cooking. It's a waste of money. If you can make an iron pot, you will definitely shock the world and benefit the people."
Xianglizhu thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.
This time she was very vigilant and was definitely not deceived by Li Shui's nonsense about his family, country and world. The reason why she agreed was more out of curiosity and wanting to know what this so-called iron pot was all about.
Li Shui didn't hide anything and told everything he knew. In fact, he didn't know much about iron pots. A normal person, who studies how to make a pot?
Li Shui had no choice but to talk about some of the characteristics of the iron pot, such as its shape, how thin it is, and how it cooks.
After hearing this, Xiangli Zhu felt somewhat enlightened.
Li Shui asked Cang Fu to find some reliable coppersmiths and blacksmiths to work in Shangjun's courtyard to help Xiangli Zhu.
These craftsmen had long been envious of Shangjun's courtyard. Now that they heard that they had the opportunity to enter Shangjun's courtyard, they were naturally excited. They thanked them repeatedly and expressed their loyalty to Lishui to the death.
Li Shui nodded and agreed with a cheerful face. He turned around and told Cano to keep an eye on these people. If nothing happened, these people were not allowed to move around at will.
Not only that, Li Shui also signed a document with the blacksmiths, and if he dared to leak anything from Shang Jun's courtyard, he would be killed immediately.
With Jia Huo's lesson in front of them, these blacksmiths naturally did not dare to mess around. They all signed and stamped obediently, and then followed Xiangli Zhu's instructions, lighting the fire and forging the iron.
The making of iron pots has already been practiced.
…………
Cano's nephew has no surname, only a nickname, Tietou.
Tietou had long heard that his uncle was working in Shangjun Courtyard, and he was extremely envious. But he didn't ask Cang Fu to move him to Shangjun's villa.
Occasionally, Cang Fu would send some money, but Tie Tou hid it and was reluctant to spend it. He didn't know that the money was only a small part of Cang Fu's recent earnings. He was just worried that Tietou would become a bad imitator, so he only sent a small part.
To be honest, Tietou is a bit honest and has a bit of low self-esteem.
He felt that he knew nothing but plowing, and even at plowing, he was not the best. After so many years, he had not become a field officer.
Therefore, even if Cang Fu really wanted to arrange for him to be sent to Shang Jun's villa, he would not dare to go, for fear of spoiling the important event of banishing the immortal. They are all things belonging to the Immortal Family. How could I figure it out if I was a fool?
Only after dinner, Tietou would occasionally reveal to his neighbors, intentionally or unintentionally, that his uncle was Aoi. Then he earned a wave of envious looks.
In fact, Tietou is a person who is honest and honest, but he is also a bit clever.
He had been paying attention to the daughter next door for a long time, but he didn't have much ability. He had little chance of marrying this girl, so he could only move Ao Fu out, hoping to gain some points for himself.
The girl next door has a good impression of Tietou. But the father-in-law next door doesn’t think so.
The old man listened to Tietou boasting about his uncle all day long, but why did Tietou himself still farm here? If his uncle is really so capable, why not take him to Xianyang City? It can be seen that this person has a loyal face, a cunning heart, and a belly full of evil.
Therefore, every time the father-in-law next door sees Tietou, although he has a smile on his face, he secretly despises him in his heart.
Tietou didn't notice it at all. Seeing his old husband smiling, he thought his words had an effect, so he started talking more about Cang Fu.
Unfortunately, he had too many things to do in Tianzhong and had no time to go to Xianyang. What happened in Shangjun Courtyard was half hearsay and half based on his own understanding, so what he said was completely wrong.
The father-in-law next door had recently been to Xianyang. After listening to Tietou's crude and inaccurate description, he felt even more contempt in his heart.
On this day, Tietou chatted for a while again, and then reluctantly returned to his small courtyard.
As a result, Tieniu pushed open the courtyard door and found a person waiting for him inside. This man claimed to be from Shang Jun's Courtyard and came to deliver a message for Cang Fu, saying that Lord Banished Immortal wanted to see him.
Tietou was panicked and said to the man: "Please tell me to banish the immortal. The villain is stupid, very stupid. I'm afraid it won't work."
The man didn't care whether he could do it or not, so he put him on the carriage, flicked his whip, and rushed to Shang Jun's courtyard.
In the car, Tietou nervously rubbed his hands back and forth, and was a little curious: "Is this a horse-drawn carriage? It is indeed much faster than an ox-cart."
In fact, Tietou has never even ridden in an oxcart, he just saw others riding in it...
After arriving at Shangjun's Villa, Tietou saw a group of neatly dressed nobles lining up to enter Shangjun's Villa.
Tietou asked the person who picked him up in a low voice: "Who are these noble people?"
The man looked disdainful and said, "What noble people? They are just servants of the courtiers."
Tieniu became more and more awe-struck: "A servant of a court official? It's impressive to be so majestic. I heard that the minor officials in the theater must salute the servants of the court officials when they see them."
The man chuckled: "Don't worry, in our Shangjun Courtyard, none of that will work. When beating a dog, it depends on the owner, and their owner is nothing."
This man looked proud when he spoke.
At this moment, a servant suddenly ran over in a hurry, walked to the front, pushed the others to the back, and then gave the money with a smile.
The gatekeeper raised his hand and slapped him in the face: "Get in line."
The servant suddenly received such a blow, and immediately shouted angrily: "I belong to Zhao Gao's family..."
The craftsman guarding the door slapped him again: "The one I'm beating is the Zhao Gao family. My master and Zhao Gao are sworn in, so you still dare to come?"
The servant covered his face with his hands, and suddenly his aura softened, and he begged: "My master and Lord Huai are not on good terms, but it has nothing to do with this villain. I also want to learn the magic of immortality."
Takuto said: "Get in line at the back."
The servant was very grateful and went to the back to line up.
Tietou was dumbfounded: "The Zhao Gao he was talking about was... but he was around the emperor..."
The person next to me hummed: "Order of the CRRC."
Tietou was shocked: "Master Banished Immortal, you are really amazing."
Watching the servants, they all paid and went in. Tietou suddenly felt embarrassed. He had no money with him, and he had no money.
He had no idea how much money they paid. The amount was so huge that he couldn't even count it. But he knew that he would never be able to earn anything in his life.
Seeing that all the servants in front had finished leaving, the man beside him patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Let's go too. In fact, we don't have to line up, but the banished immortal told us not to let too many people see you. Therefore, I'm sorry you waited for a while."
Tietou was extremely frightened, and then whispered: "But... can you not go?"
The man next to him said, "I've been summoned by the Exalted Immortal. It's a great opportunity given by God. Why don't you go?"
Tie Tou was dragged by the man and approached the door step by step. Finally, his face turned red and he lowered his head and said, "Young man, you have no money."
The man laughed loudly: "Outsiders have to pay. You are a member of the family, why do you have to worry about this?"
While talking, the two of them had already reached the gate. The craftsman who was guarding the door had been looking fierce just now, but suddenly he saw Tietou coming. He suddenly smiled and said, "Tietou, do you still remember me?"
Tietou squinted his eyes for a long time before saying in disbelief: "Are you...a calf?"
Takuto smiled and said, "Yes, you still remember me."
The calf is two years older than Tietou, and the two have played together since childhood. But Tietou left Shangjun Courtyard at the age of fourteen and went to the theater to seek life. Just because the farmland over there is more fertile, half a bucket of more grain can be harvested.
Now the two have not seen each other for four or five years.
Tietou couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he saw his former playmate being so majestic.
But Niu Da put his arms around him and said, "It'll be better if you come. If you stay in Shangjun Courtyard in the future, we will be a family again."
Tietou was so nervous that he couldn't walk smoothly: "Want to stay? Can I?"
Niu Calf smiled: "What's wrong? Tietou, to tell you the truth, when Master Banished the Immortal first came, I was just like you and didn't know anything. Aren't we almost done with it now? Let's go, let's go, I'm afraid you've been waiting impatiently."
Tietou was taken to a large courtyard in a daze. There was a fire burning in the middle of the yard, and a strange-looking thing hung above the fire.
I saw a richly dressed nobleman throwing a large piece of fat pork in.
After a while, a burst of aroma overflowed, and Tietou's stomach suddenly growled.
After the noble man saw him, he smiled slightly and said, "Is this Tietou?"
"Yes, this is my nephew Tietou." Only then did Tietou see his uncle standing next to him.
The uncle waved his hand at him and said, "Why don't you quickly pay your respects to the Exalted Immortal?"
Tietou came to his senses and hurriedly saluted Li Shui.
Li Shui asked casually: "I heard that in years of famine, you often help Cang Fu?"
Tietou said yes solemnly.
Li Shui then asked, "Is it possible that you live a prosperous life and have too much food to eat?"
Tietou scratched his head and said, "No. I have a big appetite and often don't have enough to eat."
Li Shui asked curiously: "Since you don't have enough to eat, why do you want to help Cang Fu?"
Tietou was confused by the question. He scratched his head and thought for a while before hesitatingly said: "He is my uncle. Isn't this... the right thing to do? Did I do something wrong?"
Li Shui laughed loudly: "At the beginning of human beings, nature is good. Of course, Canglinshi can know etiquette, but there are also people with pure nature."
He said to Tietou: "You must be hungry after coming from afar, right? Calf, take him to eat something."
The calf responded and left with the iron head.
Li Shui took out a spoon, fished out the lard from the pot, and put it in an earthen pot.
Li Shui said to Xiangli Zhu next to him: "This iron pot is a bit crude. But it can be used. Just apply for a patent first and improve it in the future."
Li Shui smiled at Cang Fu and said: "Your nephew is a stranger, so let him carry the iron pot and apply for a patent. In this way, others will not guess that this iron pot was made by Shangjun Courtyard." Yes. This can be regarded as...compensation for your sacrifice of life to put out the fire that day."
How could Aoi not know the significance of a patent? Suddenly the old man burst into tears and fell to the ground sobbing.
Li Shui was comforting him when he heard the calf running over, yelling: "It's not good, it's not good. Sir, Tietou fell to the ground, and I don't know what's going on..."
Li Shui was startled and asked, "Why?"
Niu Calf said: "He seemed to be crazy. In a few breaths, he ate more than a hundred dumplings and was so full that he rolled his eyes."
