This is a time bomb that will explode again.
Zhao Ping's heart sank and his brows suddenly furrowed.
The uncle, Zhao Jie and his son looked at the barking yellow dog and looked at each other with heavy expressions on their faces. Especially Zhao Jie and his son, their expressions suddenly turned ugly.
The uncle murmured: "We are in the open and the thieves are in the dark. What should we do? Report to the official, these thieves are obviously troublemakers in the county. They have backgrounds behind them and they don't seem to be of much use."
Zhao Ping thought to himself that Zhaojiazhuang's defense must be upgraded now.
One is to strengthen the wall and make it indestructible!
This must be immortal cement.
The second is to make the nursing home strong so that thieves and bandits can be discovered and acted upon early, so that thieves and bandits cannot invade Zhaojiazhuang twice.
It’s time to establish a security corps.
However, both are quite difficult. Immortal cement is a very difficult technical job.
However, if the number of the security team is small, it will not work. If the number is large, the government must approve it.
But these are the capital to save your life, no matter how difficult it is, you have to find a way.
Returning to Zhaojiazhuang, Zhao Ping suddenly turned around and asked Zhao Jie: "Boweng, may I ask, how is the progress of Xie Chen's immortal coke?"
Zhao Jie bowed, and then replied: "To report to Xiao Langjun, the old slave asked Xie Chen twice. Now the coking workshop that Xiao Langjun mentioned has been built. According to him, based on the technology provided by Xiao Langjun, he added According to the techniques he has mastered, making immortal coke should not be a big problem, but now he says that there are still some small problems that need to be solved by Xiao Langjun."
Zhao Ping nodded, thinking that he was a little too impatient.
It has only been a month and a half of testing.
Xian Coke Workshop is on the right side of Zhaojiazhuang.
As soon as he opened the room, Zhao Ping felt a scorching heat wave coming from a distance. There were about a dozen craftsmen dripping with sweat watching the leaks, adding coal, and standing about a foot away from the stove to feel whether the temperature of the stove was required through their bodies. Heat!
Zhao Ping couldn't help but sigh that although there were no thermometer sensors in ancient times, smart people used the human body to feel the temperature required for fairy coke production from a certain distance.
While wiping his sweat, Xie Chen pointed to a building that was about one foot high and three feet wide and said, "I'm telling you, Mr. Lang, that the villain built it exactly according to the drawings you drew. The walls are entirely made of blue bricks. This is a The sealed furnace has heating chambers on both sides. There is a coal hole above the heating chamber. There is a coking chamber in the middle. There is also a chimney that can be opened and closed at any time in the coking chamber. Below the coking chamber is a regenerator. Now the villain has basically mastered it. The required temperature and time. Now a new problem has arisen, and Xiaolangjun needs to come up with a good solution. One is that the lime on the wall easily falls on the fairy coke, causing the fairy coke to be impure; the other is that the heat is extremely It is easy to leak out, resulting in unstable firepower.”
After saying that, he looked eagerly at Zhao Ping.
In the eyes of the waiters and craftsmen here, Zhao Ping has become a symbol of omnipotence, and it seems that any problem can be solved here.
Zhao Ping thought for a while and said to Xie Chen: "Bring me the burned fairy coke."
Xie Chen took out four or five dark objects in a room. Zhao Ping took them one by one and observed them carefully. He found that some were partially turned gray, some had coal falling out, and some had outer surfaces. Is it gray and so on.
Seeing that the appearance was gray, Zhao Ping was overjoyed. Isn't this fairy coke?
However, when compared with the same volume of coal, it is found that its weight has not changed much. Obviously, this has only changed to fairy coke on the outside, but it is still coal on the inside.
Zhao Ping took a hammer and cracked it open. Sure enough, there was immortal coke outside and coal inside.
Seeing this scene in front of them, Xie Chen and his waiters couldn't help but lowered their heads in shame, feeling that they were eating and drinking for free, but did not do what the young man needed.
Zhao Ping saw everyone's dejected look, pointed at the gray parts and smiled slightly: "Look, everyone, these gray parts have turned into immortal charcoal, you will succeed soon. Don't be discouraged, as long as you find the reason and If you correct it in time, the fairy coke will definitely be made."
After hearing Zhao Ping's words, Xie Chen thought for a while, and then said: "I guess it is because the stove has insufficient heat. I wonder if Xiao Langjun has any measures to deal with it?"
Zhao Ping watched the lime falling on the stove and walked around the stove. He thought that it would be great if there was cement. Not only was cement easy to solidify, but it could also withstand temperatures below a thousand degrees.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ping couldn't help but snap, and then couldn't help but smile.
Zhao Jie, who was used to seeing Zhao Ping's smile, came over and asked, "Congratulations, young man, have you figured out a way?"
Zhao Ping smiled slightly, held up his chin with his right hand, looked around and said, "I have some ideas. I will think about it in the next few days and try to come up with a reliable solution."
Back in the backyard, my mother looked around, her face was pale and a little scared, and she said to Zhao Ping: "Ping'er, the outer wall of Zhaojiazhuang was actually drilled by thieves. Can you do anything?"
Zhao Ping thought for a while and then said: "Mom, I have something that can make the wall indestructible. The key is that it is much cheaper than using lime, glutinous rice juice, etc. to form adhesives for the gaps in the city wall. I want my uncle to make it indestructible. Do you think it’s okay to be in charge?”
Hearing that there was such a thing, my mother immediately forgot about the injury on her feet. She immediately left the chair and stood up. Suddenly, she couldn't help but let out a soft "hum". Zhao Ping and Cui Zhulan'er supported her mother together. .
After being supported by the three people, my mother walked a few steps, pondered for a while, sighed and said: "Your uncle's greatest wish is to be admitted to the Jinshi and become a disciple of the emperor, instead of engaging in such a lowly career as a businessman. His mind has always been on books. There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book. It is completely suitable to put it on him. Don't think about this idea, so my mother thinks it is better to let the housekeeper participate in this matter." Zhao Ping sighed secretly in his heart. , I thought that was all I had to do.
Mother took a deep look at Zhao Ping, smiled slightly and said: "Ping'er has grown up and knows how to consider things from many aspects. No matter what Ping'er does, my mother will support you, but the most important thing is that you have to remember , The housekeeper’s family is the last support of Zhaojiazhuang, so we should let the housekeeper know about anything.”
Zhao Ping bowed deeply and said, "My child obeys my command. Thank you, mother, for your teaching."
At this moment, Wang Gouer suddenly knocked on the door and came in, saying that he had something urgent to report. Seeing his mother and Zhao Ping, Wang Gouer suddenly knelt down, supporting his hanging right arm with his left hand, and then kowtowed and cried: "Master, my dear mother-in-law has not eaten rice for many days, and I would like to borrow a piece of rice from you." Carrying rice, I beg Master for permission."
Zhao Ping waved his hand, looked at Wang Gouer and said: "One day I am a teacher, and all day I am a father. Your family affairs are also my master's family affairs. It is okay for my master to give you a load of rice that you don't have to pay back, but you have to explain the reason." reason."
Wang Gouer knelt on the ground with his feet and his head pressed tightly against the ground. He cried and said: "Thank you, Master, for your generosity. Let me tell Master, there are four brothers and two younger sisters below me. In addition to my parents and mother-in-law Weng Weng. As for my two uncles, one bucket of rice a day is not enough. Two buckets of rice are barely enough for one of them to be half full, and five buckets of rice is basically full. Because they are full, even though the two uncles are already in their twenties, they are still half full. I haven’t married yet. In the past, my family could barely survive by eating porridge, but the drought last year and this year was particularly severe. No matter how hard my parents and uncles worked to find a job, they couldn’t get enough to eat. Since the beginning of spring, even eating porridge has been a luxury. . Grandma Weng Weng had no choice but to eat Guanyin rice (a kind of yellow mud), and now she is unconscious."
Zhao Ping couldn't help but point his finger at Wang Gou'er and shouted loudly: "You are too stupid. It's not that there is no food here, my teacher. Why didn't you take some food back to take care of your family? Human life matters, human life matters." "
Wang Gou'er's face turned red, and he secretly looked up at Zhao Ping and said sheepishly: "I secretly took some rice, and I also secretly gave it to my brothers and sisters. But it's far from enough." Zhao Ping couldn't help scolding: "Why don't you take more? Some rice?" Wang Gou'er said with a sad face: "Master, although I am your disciple, no matter how bold I am, I dare not go back blatantly against the rice bag."
Zhao Ping kept walking around the house, then came to Wang Gouer and said: "Rice bucket, rice bucket, you are not only a bucket seller, but the whole family is also a bucket seller."
Wang Gouer's face looked ugly, thinking that if Master was so angry, wouldn't he give me rice? Could it be that my husband and mother-in-law will starve to death? My mother spoke at this time, smiled slightly, and said softly: "Ping'er, please stop threatening this proud disciple of yours. You didn't see that his face turned pale."
Zhao Ping looked at his mother, then at Wang Gou'er, shook his head slightly and said, "I scared him because I hated him for not telling me earlier. Wang Gou'er, what can your father and uncle do?"
When Wang Gou'er heard that there was something going on, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Tell the master that my father and uncle are bricklayers and blacksmiths. They can do any hard, dirty, tiring, or difficult work."
Zhao Ping smiled slightly, looked at Wang Gou'er and said: "We are recruiting people here as a teacher. Invite your parents and uncles. You first carry two bags of rice. Don't let your mother-in-law starve to death and become a joke to others." ." Wang Gouer saluted and hurriedly went to fight the rice.
My mother looked at Wang Gou'er's back, smiled slightly as she sat there, looked at Zhao Ping and said calmly: "Wang Gou'er is a loving and righteous child. At first I saw him eating Baijia rice, and then walking at the gate of Zhaojiazhuang. After fighting with Ping'er, I was not very optimistic about his character. The housekeeper, Hunjia Zhao Tianshi, told me privately that when he took the extra rice to feed his family, he knew that his family was running out of food. I stopped him from delivering the food to his family. , and deliberately left the rice warehouse unlocked several times. I didn’t expect that this child would rather be hungry at home than steal rice. In fact, as long as Ping’er, a disciple, just tells his mother, I will give it to him. It seems that , this child is someone Chunpu can rely on."
After saying that, her mother looked at Zhao Ping with a smile, and Zhao Ping nodded.
It turns out that Wang Gouer is a very affectionate person.
The next day, Wang Gouer brought his parents and two uncles to Zhaojiazhuang.
