Chapter 49: Spring

It was actually still early in the afternoon, and the car had not been pushed back. It was probably Hu Tao and Erniu who were guarding there. Nie Yunzhu came back first and found some camphor trees to burn them to ashes at home. It was really surprising to see Ning Yi coming.

It takes more than 20 days to marinate the pineapple eggs. When I was preparing for this business, I actually prepared a batch in advance. Of course, since Nie Yunzhu was unsure, most of the quantity was added by Ning Yi, but now it seems that it is actually less.

She had a rough idea of ​​the supply of Songhua eggs that might be in short supply to Ning Yi, and Ning Yi also expressed some opinions, which was nothing more than increasing revenue and reducing expenditure. The solution to the problem was not surprising. In terms of reducing expenditure, limit the number of delivery to each store, and of course, it had to coordinate with all parties and say some good things. If you open source, you don’t have to be lazy and do it quickly. Nie Yunzhu has been surprisingly busy these days. Of course, she would not be able to talk to Ning Yi much in the morning, but just report her achievements happily.

Ning Yi used camphor wood ash to pickle eggs before, and at this time he also made some camphor wood back to burn it every day. Today, the firewood was relatively wet, and accidentally made the kitchen full of smoke. Ning Yi went in with her to deal with it. After a while, it took a while to disperse the smoke. He pulled out part of the wet wood in the stove and ignited a small fire to burn it slowly. When Ning Yi sat in front of the stove and watched the fire, Nie Yunzhu washed his face and hands next to him, and then took a wet wipe for Ning Yi to wipe his face. When the towel was handed over, his cheeks were slightly burnt and his wrists were slightly shaking, but except for herself, others were afraid that they would not be able to see it.

I haven't been in the house for a long time, so the only towels are her and Hu Tao. It's hard to use Hu Tao for Ning Yi, so I have to take my own. This action seemed a little ambiguous, and I felt like I had a little rat in my heart. I watched Ning Yi wipe it casually, and then reached out to take it. I said some boring words: "Liheng... where did you come from just now?"

"Just come from Mr. Qin." Ning Yi threw a piece of firewood in. "It was originally a bet with Kang Xian. I just showed it out, well, I'm very proud."

"That's fine." Ning Yi said this, Nie Yunzhu was a little happy. She was worried that the bet would not be achieved and that the other party would lose face. She didn't expect the achievement to be achieved so quickly. "This morning, another store wanted to send Songhua eggs over, so there would be six..."

"So quickly..." Ning Yi thought for a while, "But there should be only these companies that can afford it near that street. It should be almost the same if you can maintain this situation in the future..."

If you don’t consider expanding the scale and just follow the playful mind, maintaining the supply of these restaurants should be the limit of Nie Yunzhu and Hu Tao. As for whether to expand or not, it is her business, Ning Yi doesn’t want to interrupt here. Nie Yunzhu thought about it, squatted down next to her, and smiled: “It’s too fast, Yunzhu couldn’t react at once. To be honest, a few days ago, I was worried that I would miss Liheng’s bet.”

"Haha, the bet is actually a trivial matter, just like a joke, but... it's of course the best to win, haha."

"That old man is the prince consort. When I went to deliver pineapple eggs last month, the house was so big, the princess's house. Actually, when Li Heng introduced it before the New Year, I was wondering if it was that person, but I didn't expect it to be true. Li Heng is really amazing, and he can chat and laugh with such people, and even make bets and jokes."

This is not a flattery. No matter what, people with status like Kang Xian should be Liheng’s elders. She has seen many of them before. When they meet each other in this age gap, they must be the etiquette of their children and nephews. Even if the elders are kind, they are just kind to their younger generations. However, it is really never seen that Liheng seems to be right to everyone. In fact, if she thinks of this, she is not one of them.

"I probably don't have much utilitarian intentions when I play chess." Ning Yi fiddled with the flames, "It's all reasonable old people. It's enough to respect his knowledge and opinions... Uh, who have you heard of him before?"

"Of course I have heard it. I've probably seen it once, twice before Li Heng introduced it... Maybe twice. One year, the performance of Bailuzhoutou, Ming Gong thought it was over, but there were many people, and I couldn't remember all of it..." She recalled those things, and then laughed softly, "And many young talents were present at that time, Hu Tao and other sisters I knew were just watching those talents. Some people also discussed the high-ranking officials in the guest seat. However, although Ming Gong was knowledgeable, he was the prince consort and was old, so he couldn't remember these things. I think Ming Gong could not remember Yun Zhu..."

"Oh." Ning Yi smiled narrowly, "just remember those talents..."

If others teased this, Nie Yunzhu might feel uncomfortable, but he didn't feel the same way at this time. He just smiled: "Yes, the woman was doing her skills at that time, so she was always concerned about remembering some talented people. Hey, Yunzhu loved to remember some rich people at that time. Of course, it would be better if poetry, literature and knowledge could be watched. She was flattering and counting the money for redeem every day..."

She stopped here and then said, "Liheng knows Li Pin and Li Dexin?"

"I've known each other before, I'm in a college now."

"Where is Cao Guan?"

"I've heard of it."

"Then... Gu Hong and Gu Yanzhen?"

She said this name and looked at Ning Yi's expression. Ning Yi thought for a while: "I haven't heard of this... who?"

"No, he is also a talented man." She lowered her head and smiled, "An irrelevant person."

There are some things that Nie Yunzhu didn't tell Ning Yi, but in fact, it was not suitable to tell Ning Yi in her opinion.

Gu Yanzhen has been going to the stall to find her in recent days and said something sincerely, but for her, it is really troubled. In particular, some small problems have also arisen. Gu Yanzhen probably learned from Hu Tao that he had not yet married, and in the past few days, he has helped him start the business of Songhuadan. The house this morning was not in the nearby neighborhood as Liheng said, but a little further away. Gu Yanzhen used his influence to ask his friends to help him take care of him.

Naturally, she couldn't tell these things. When the business started, she didn't know how to push them. Gu Yanzhen only thought, "If you want to sell pineapple eggs, I'll help you", but she didn't know that she was actually too busy. Looking back at Liheng, she only said, "There are enough for these companies", which made her feel a little heartwarming, but she couldn't ask him how to control the situation. She had some guesses in her mind, thinking that the expansion of the market might be related to Liheng, but now it seems that it's not. It's hard to tell him that there is another man who is helping, who she met in a brothel before...

I care about Liheng's ideas, but I still don't say it. Anyway... I'm always a good thing to do business. Now I'm a little busy, so I'll probably ask someone to help me. Oh, I didn't think I could get this point, but what she had yearned for might be the fulfilling days of staying by the car every day to make a living...

She didn't say it, Ning Yi wouldn't know this. In his opinion, the Songhua Egg business has become saturated for Nie Yunzhu, and he also told Li Pin that his friends would not need to continue. Li Pin asked him two days ago: "What is Li Heng's relationship with the vendor of Songhua Egg." Ning Yi only answered that he was a friend, and he never asked about convenience again, and he didn't notice much inappropriateness.

On the other hand, Gu Yanzhen asked Li Pin about this two days ago. At that time, Gu Yanzhen felt in a mess and was full of momentum. Li Pin probably knew that the owner of the Songhua Egg Stand was the woman Gu Yanzhen liked in the past, and did not say Ning Yi's name. He was a meticulous person. Ning Yi was originally a son-in-law of the Su family, so he could not have any ambiguous relationship with the girl Yunzhu - of course, regardless of whether it was there or not, it was always bad for people to know that this matter was always bad, and whether it was the truth or the rumors were taboo. So he only said it was a game move by a friend, and reminded Gu Yanzhen that girl Yunzhu might not have married. Gu Yanzhen later confirmed this with Hu Tao and stopped exploring it.

In fact, for Ning Yi, the pineapple eggs on Nie Yunzhu are just small things. They don’t take up much time when they are running every morning. These are not the focus of his life.

In the morning, he taught the children, and in the afternoon, he rented a house near Yushan Academy. If he didn't go to Mr. Qin and Nie Yunzhu - in fact, there were fewer ones - he started some chemical research here. What he now owns are some ancient versions of chemical books. These chemical books have records of many phenomena. Although they have nothing to do with the theory of modern chemical systems, they can at least point out the direction for the initial research.

In addition to books like "Mengxi Bitan", he made some basic iron racks, used as ceramic bottles for test tubes, and used oil lamps for heating devices. In addition, various metal, wooden, and ceramic bottles and jars were also purchased. He then purchased various chemical raw materials that could be found. To be honest, Wuchao also has some large and small workshops involved in chemical reactions, but his current state may seem more like alchemy, rather than researching the technology of those workshops.

The chemistry courses in my previous life have been returned to the teacher. Since there were many industries involved at that time, some reaction relationships could still be remembered, but they were no longer systematic, such as fragmented science and technology trees when playing games. Some chemical records in ancient documents can evoke some memories, which is better than nothing. He wants to have a simple beginning. At present, he can only use random combinations to see the reaction, such as putting rust iron into stew water to heat it, removing rust, and then write down this phenomenon in a small notebook. Then he roughly remembers some trivial theories, such as rust iron is easily oxidized, and this is known. As for what the reversal process is, he forgets it all, and he doesn't remember the chemical formula. Now he can only remember a chemical concept and write one in the small notebook, and then slowly match it.

The chemical line is first to go towards the direction of strong acids such as sulfuric acid and nitric acid. Because the reaction is strong, it is easy to be observed. Of course, the most important thing is to be careful not to cause problems and put yourself in. He actually mastered several advanced technologies. At present, if necessary, gunpowder can be made, industrial alcohol or high-alcohol can be made. The distillation method is simple after all. After a while, it is necessary to make out the alcohol lamp. Although he doesn’t know why alcohol lamps are better than oil lamps, it is probably smoke-free... The outline of many large-scale chemical industries is not unclear, but the supporting technology cannot keep up, and of course there are also not very particular things. The local steelmaking method is relatively simple. It is a nonsense in modern times, so there is no problem here. He probably remembers it and will talk about it when necessary in the future.

It was always boring to explore these chemical reactions at first. Most of the time, I didn't know what was burned. Xiaochan often followed him and he was doing experiments in the room. Xiaochan walked around bored under the eaves, and occasionally said to Ning Yi: "Does my son-in-law want to refine elixirs?" The little girl sometimes fantasized that my son-in-law would suddenly fly away. When she sat under the eaves with her chin, she shaking her skirt and sitting on the railing. Thinking of this, she heard my son-in-law casually say something called "Journey to the West" or "The Romance of the Gods" inside, and she was a little worried and a little longing.

Of course, the feeling that my son-in-law gives her is reliable and down-to-earth most of the time, but for the little girl, romance is such a thing. Therefore, in her spare time, she listened to the son-in-law's voice and had a small fantasy in her heart. If the son-in-law suddenly flew away, she must cry and cry for a long time, but if the son-in-law was willing to take her away... She was slightly happy in her heart. She also thought that the son-in-law had to take the young lady away... She sat there occasionally melancholy and smiled occasionally, secretly glanced at the door, told herself that she could not think about these things anymore, and then walked in quietly and appeared cutely in front of the son-in-law: "Son-in-law, is there anything Xiaochan can do?"

"Go out." The man wore a mask and weighed the weird dust.

"oh……"

Xiaochan went out in shame. The spring was bright, the bellows were flying, the grass was growing, the little maid leaned against the eaves with her knees, raised her head to think about her own little things, and among the sparse wild flowers blooming in the courtyard, she was indescribable loneliness.

In the room, Ning Yi looked at the window next to him and frowned slightly. He had already made her be careful. Although the chemical system is not pure now, there are still corrosive or slightly toxic substances in the room. Although the little girl is usually smart in doing things, she still can't touch these things. Then she continued to talk about some myths she remembered. After a while, the little girl became happy: "Son-in-law, Xiaochan and the lady also heard a story with the lady in the restaurant yesterday..."

Then he started talking. Soon after Ning Yi came out of the room, Xiaochan became even happier. The two chatted and walked along the road towards home like usual. My son-in-law seemed a little alienated when he was in this room. Occasionally, he thought about it and turned around in the afterglow of the sunset to make a face at the annoying house.
