Hanya Chen stepped forward and knocked on the door. The concierge had already gone to call someone.
Master Zhan and others came out soon and found that the visitor was Sheng Peiguang, which was not surprising at all.
"As expected, you came the fastest."
Sheng Peiguang thought that he could go faster if he took the water route.
"Master, I miss you so much." He said and rushed towards Master Zhan, wanting to hug his mentor.
Unexpectedly, his wife stretched out a hand to block him, "Stand away, you smell too much."
Sheng Peiguang: He was disliked by his wife!
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lu Wei and Lu Mingzhi said hello and left.
"Is that the shopkeeper of Liaodong Wulu Tea Shop?" Master Zhan has a good memory. When they first arrived in Liaodong County, they also took a break at Liaodong Wulu Tea Shop.
Lu Mingzhi nodded, "Yes."
Sheng Peiguang looked at Lu Mingzhi, "Junior Brother Lu, do you know Shopkeeper Lu?"
Lu Mingzhi replied, "We know him."
Sheng Peiguang suddenly realized, "It turns out that senior brother asked for your blessing. I originally thought that the people in Liaodong County were quite good."
Lu Mingzhi smiled and said, "Brother Lu is indeed a very nice person and willing to help others."
Sheng Peiguang nodded, "Yeah, shopkeeper Lu is very kind."
Zhou Congguang urged, "Let's stop standing at the door. Let's all go in." What are you talking about at the door? Can't you go back and sit down to chat?
Wei Wenqian added, "Yes, Senior Disciple Sheng must be tired."
Sheng Peiguang: They are all his good senior brothers!
The group of people walked inside, and the door slowly closed behind them.
Sheng Peiguang said enthusiastically, "Master, along the way, I found that this Liaodong County is full of vitality, which is different from many places." Even the people in Liaodong County give people a different feeling, and the people in Liaodong County are even more Be a little more angry.
Master Zhan nodded, "Yes, Liaodong County is very lively. By the way, how is it outside?" He calculated, it will be some time before they come to Liaodong County?
Sheng Peiguang shook his head, "The people outside are living in a numb way." Although the people are not living in poverty, the people I met along the way clearly seem to be struggling with their lives.
Mentioning these things always makes people uncomfortable, so Sheng Peiguang changed the topic, "Master, when we entered the city just now, we found two buildings that looked very simple and low-key but very grand. Where are they?"
"That's the newly built Sheriff's Mansion and Liaodong Academy."
Sheng Peiguang said oh, thinking that Liaodong County was planning to open an academy?
"Liaodong Academy has been completed and is ready to open." Speaking of this, Mr. Zhan shouldn't be too talkative.
Mr. Lu personally invited him to become the master of Liaodong Academy, with a salary twice that of his previous salary, plus three festivals and four rites.
He has already agreed.
In fact, he thinks it doesn't matter how much the salary is, he just wants to cultivate some talents for Liaodong County.
He reservedly told the news to his six disciples.
Sheng Peiguang was surprised, "Liaodong Academy is actually willing to hire you? Aren't you afraid that you will mislead your disciples?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he knew he was going to suffer. How could he say what was in his heart? He quickly covered his mouth.
But it was too late. Master Zhan glared at me, "Unworthy disciple, what are you talking about?"
Then, Master Zhan asked coldly, "Did I wrong you by treating you as your master?"
Sheng Peiguang quickly denied, "No, no, the disciple is already crooked."
Master Zhan snorted.
Zhou Congguang, Wei Wenqian, Lu Mingzhi and others couldn't stop laughing.
After Master Zhan brought the people in, he pointed to the other empty courtyards and said, "These four courtyards are all occupied. You can choose one of the remaining ones to live in. This little brother you brought with you and You stay!”
Sheng Peiguang immediately picked the best yard nearby, thinking that it would be beneficial for him to come quickly, and he could still choose, but if he came slowly, he wouldn't have to choose.
He praised himself silently in his heart, he was so smart.
"Master, when everyone comes later, won't it be too crowded?" Sheng Peiguang felt a little gloated when he thought that if he came late, two people might have to squeeze into a courtyard.
“The building next door is already being expanded.”
Sheng Peiguang thought, this is too good?
"Since you have chosen this courtyard, you can live in it, wash up and have a rest first, and have a meal together later." After Mrs. Zhan sent the people there, everyone dispersed and went back to their own courtyards.
When Sheng Peiguang arrived, Master Zhan and others decided to put dinner in Sheng Peiguang's yard.
At meal time, Master Zhan took three disciples to Sheng Peiguang's courtyard.
At this time, Sheng Peiguang washed up and was drying his hair under the tree.
Hanya Chen actually said to him, "Brother Sheng, I have washed your clothes. Put your underwear underneath, and I will wash it for you."
"Didn't I tell you to——" Don't touch my underpants? Sheng Peiguang slowly turned his head and found that the master and three senior brothers were standing at the entrance of the courtyard.
Sheng Peiguang stroked his forehead and was about to finish. This was really a thousand precautions. If one was not careful, all the previous efforts would be wasted! He noticed that the eyes his master and fellow disciples were looking at him were wrong.
"Master, please listen to my explanation."
"Pei Guang, you are already too lazy?" Master Zhan shook his head.
"That's right, Junior Brother Pei, no matter how lazy you are, you can't do it to others."
"The world is really in decline, and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be..."
Hanya Chen was a little at a loss. He seemed to have done something wrong?
The explanation was unclear, so Sheng Peiguang simply stopped explaining. He gave up on himself and said, "Master, can we, brothers and sisters, start dinner?"
"Of course!"
It didn’t take long for the dishes to arrive one after another. The six of them served a total of twelve dishes and a soup.
"Master, do you usually eat like this?" Isn't their food so good? Sheng Peiguang only felt that it was the right time to come to Liaodong County.
Master Zhan shook his head, "No, for example, this pagoda meat is the second time I've eaten it. It's probably because the chef knew that there was a new person coming, and he's here to entertain guests."
This pagoda meat is labor-intensive and time-consuming to prepare, and it tests the chef's knife skills. Master Chen in the kitchen doesn't like to make it.
While he was talking, Master Zhan called on everyone to start eating, "We can count on you to be able to eat this dish."
Zhou Congguang agreed, "Yes, our Master Chen has a few special dishes that are at the bottom of the box. He basically doesn't make them unless he is in a good mood."
Hanya Chen ate without raising his head. Hearing this, he said, "Brother Sheng, we will have a good meal in the future."
Lu Mingzhi thought as he ate, maybe they were overthinking.
Master Chen was his brother-in-law's royal chef. When his brother-in-law went to war, he also went with him.
It's just that his brother-in-law has been away from Liaodong County recently, so his second sister arranged for Master Chen to come over to improve their food. When the second brother-in-law comes back, Master Chen will be transferred.
Sheng Peiguang is very satisfied with everything he has seen so far, and there is only one question left.
"Master, can we continue to tinker with the things we are tinkering with?"
"I remember you were tinkering with glass before? Keep going." Master Zhan said. The young apprentice and his second sister like them very much to continue tinkering with their previous gadgets, and are willing to give them full support.
"Is it okay? Do they provide all the materials used? Is there a limit to the quantity?"
"Of course! You can tinker with whatever you want. There are no restrictions on the materials. Just a little bit. The Liaodong Chamber of Commerce has the right to use whatever we tinker with."
"no problem."
Recently, a message came to him from above, saying that he wanted him to research a cleaning lotion. After he asked what cleaning lotion was, the other party roughly said some useful things.
And he started.
After about half a month, he worked out a semi-finished product, which he thought was useless, so he threw it on the edge of the corridor. Later, it was taken away by the steward in his yard, and he didn't care.
Later, someone came over and said that the semi-finished product was called soap and could be used to wash clothes. He asked him about the making process, and he told him.
I heard that the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce is going to set up a workshop to produce this thing called soap.
