Chapter 194 Persuasion
It is no small matter to welcome the divine cow to the village, so Bai Fu consulted the villagers in advance.

Although the sacred cow is not an ordinary cow, it is also a diseased cow.

The villagers were more afraid at first, and they didn't let the villagers pick it up until they heard that Bai Fu was going to be the first to be vaccinated.

And it was guaranteed that if someone had a problem because of this, they would give priority to hiring their family members to work for a long time as compensation, and many people bravely agreed.

Nowadays, more and more people return to the village to find a job, and even some who are not from the village and have a slight relationship with them also bring their families with them.

All the shops in Detian Pavilion are recruiting people aggressively, but there are more people who want to work, and some of them can't find a way out. They are very happy to hear this plan.

The nobles are not afraid, they have nothing to be afraid of.

Thinking of this, many people boldly agreed.

The threshold of the village chief's grandfather's house was almost broken. The voters who came to him first to vote for it accounted for about [-]%, [-]% were still on the sidelines, and the other [-]% were opposed.

"Village chief, this is not a small matter. My natal nephew's child got acne many years ago, and then passed it on to the family. In just one month, the family died, and the appearance was disfigured. Up to now, my natal family has no acne. Let me take the child back!"

Lin, the widow in the village, said with a worried look on her face.

The village chief rubbed his ears that had been numb from chewing for the past few days, and said weakly:
"Lin, if you are afraid, you can wait and see other people's homes. If there is nothing wrong, you can pick it up again. This is not forced."

The Lin family belongs to the faction between wait and see and opposition.

Today I say wait and see, and tomorrow I say it’s unreliable and I must firmly resist it. Anyway, she has no man in the family, and she is not good at cooking by herself, and the two children in the family are too young to find any jobs. .

Seeing the village chief's attitude, Lin curled her lips.

There must be a wait, but she feels conflictedly that if everyone else has been vaccinated, she will be at the end of the queue, and if she wants to get it but can't get it, wouldn't she regret it too late?

So she came to the village chief and told those who were waiting and watching like her to think more and ponder more.

The village chief was so entangled by her that he found an excuse to go out, but when he went out, he found that he had nothing to do, so he squatted at the entrance of the village to watch old Carpenter Li repair the road.

This is his favorite thing to do these days.

The road from the coal shop to the official road has been repaired for some time. He used to regret it whenever he saw the straight and flat road.

He regretted that he didn't agree to build the coal shop in the village. In that case, wouldn't such a good road belong to Xiaoxi Village?

Fortunately, Mr. Bai said that he would build roads for the village. A few days ago, he also said that when the divine cow came, many people would come to the village to watch the excitement, and asked Old Carpenter Li to hurry up and build the roads in the village.

Seeing that the main road in the village was about to be completed, the village chief's grandfather was so satisfied. He felt that he had never been so proud of Xiaoxi Village.

"Grandpa, what are you doing squatting like this?"

The grandson's curious voice came from behind him, and the village chief turned his head and saw that the daughter-in-law had returned together today, and stood up in astonishment.

"Why is his mother free to come and take a look today?" He asked.

Mrs. Zheng let go of her son's hand, and smiled slightly at her father-in-law, "My son's father is busy recently, so let me go back to the village to see all the uncles and aunts for him."

The village chief didn't understand this.

Since his youngest son moved to the next village, he never visited any uncle or aunt every time he came back. How could he let Jingui's daughter-in-law visit him instead?

However, seeing that Mrs. Zheng was holding a lot of things in his hands, and that he really wanted to visit, he didn't say anything more, and waved his hands to let his daughter-in-law do the work:
"I'll watch over here, Bao'er, go and do your work."

Bai Fu brought good wine and good food to Detian Temple, and the little novice took him directly to the backyard without even asking.

After seeing clearly who was sitting opposite Master Yiyan, Bai Fu rubbed his nose in embarrassment.

"Master Qin." She called softly.

She only told Mr. Fei about coming to find Master Yiyan to save sentient beings, but she didn't dare to tell Qin Shisan, because she was afraid that Qin Shisan would tell Master Qin, and then Master Qin would find some important principles to teach her.

The way she used to promote the shop before was judged by Master Qin as exaggerated and false propaganda.

If he knew that Master Yiyan was going to play a play with her down the mountain, would he scold him for fooling the common people?

Bai Fu didn't want to think about it.

But now that Mr. Qin bumped into her so unexpectedly, she had to think about it even if she didn't want to.

Master Qin glanced at Bai Fu, hummed, and his eyes fell on the food box in Bai Fu's hand, "What good things did you bring today?"

It seems that he knows that she often comes to bribe Master Yiyan recently.

It's just, why does it sound so peaceful, with no intention of teaching her a lesson?
Bai Fu pursed his lips and smiled.

"Master Yiyan is getting old, it's not good to eat too much meat, I asked someone to cook some vegetarian dishes." Said Bai Fu skillfully put the dishes on the table one by one.

They are all dishes that look like meat, but are actually made of soy products.

Master Yiyan sighed and closed his eyes slightly:
"Did Mr. Bai come to bribe me, or to offend me?"

Although he disclosed his gender, Bai Fu is still used to running around in men's clothes, and he doesn't feel embarrassed to catch someone and call her a woman.

Mainly because I don't know how to speak.

It's better to wait for them to hear the news and digest it by themselves.

Bai Fu handed over the chopsticks:
"Master, don't sigh in a hurry, give it a try."

Master Yiyan hesitated for a moment, took the chopsticks and reluctantly tasted it, before chewing, his expression was shocked:

“I never imagined that vegetarian food can have such a flavor!”

Seeing this, Master Qin smiled, picked up his chopsticks and began to eat slowly, and finally commented with a smile:
"You can always come up with something new."

Until Bai Fu left, Master Qin didn't say much. Bai Fu returned home with a strange expression on his face, and told Mr. Fei about it.

Mr. Fei glanced at Bai Fu with a faint smile in his eyes.

"Are you expecting the teacher to say something to you?"

"That's impossible, I'm not overeating." Bai Fu pretended to be angry and glared at Mr. Fei, "I just find it strange that this is not his style at all, it's a bit of a crappy one."

Mr. Fei was taken aback by Bai Fu's charming stare.

Ever since the two had an open and honest talk that day, she always felt that she was a little less polite and a little more casual in front of him, and now she started to stare at him.

He pursed his lips and looked away.

"Teacher is not a pedantic person. Xu feels that this matter is beneficial to the country and the people, and time is tight. It is understandable to be a little devious."

Bai Fu rolled his eyes.

"You scholars have many reasons."

And it's ever-changing, and it makes sense no matter what, it really makes people unable to keep up with the rhythm.

Mr. Fei didn't answer, and just put a copybook in front of Bai Fu, "You've finished your busy work, and someone will worry about the rest of it. You can't delay the practice of calligraphy."

Bai Fu covered his face and let out a wail. A moment later, under Mr. Fei's surprised gaze, he picked up a pen and began to copy seriously.

Although he doesn't like it, Bai Fu will still do what should be done.

Mr. Fei didn't teach the rules as soon as he came up, he watched from the sidelines for a while before he said: "The posture of holding the pen is wrong."

As he spoke, he picked up another pen at the side, demonstrating and explaining.

Because the two share a table side by side, not far away.

But Mr. Fei seems to always remember to keep a polite distance, so he is not close.

Bai Fu didn't think there was anything wrong with him, and didn't take it seriously when he saw that he was avoiding suspicion, he just murmured in his heart that this man was really conservative.

Bai Fu tried it again according to what he said, and found that it was indeed easier to write than before, and the words also had a little bit of charm.

Well, at least that's how she saw it.

After writing, Mr. Fei stopped writing and read a book at the side. He came over from time to time to look at it, and then gave a few words of guidance.

The atmosphere was inexplicably harmonious.

Unknowingly, it got dark, and there was a bird singing outside, and then Mr. Fei went out for a while, and turned back after a while.

Bai Fu had finished his homework for today, when he saw Young Master Fei come in to signal him to check, he said something else:

"Your password is quite special."

The bracelet showed that the little dark guard was nearby just now, if she guessed correctly, the bird song was the signal.

Mr. Fei paused while holding the paper, but he didn't deny it, "It's a bit special."

Bai Fu gave Mr. Fei a meaningful look.

Mr. Fei looked down at the words, as if he was very serious, and turned a blind eye to her gaze.

Bai Fu raised her eyebrows slightly, she was increasingly unable to see through this man, but to be honest, she began to be curious.

After reading the words, Mr. Fei didn't make any comments, but said: "Copy a few more copies every day."

Bai Fu: "."

It is not very harmful and extremely insulting.

The carriage stopped at the head of the village, and the old servant turned around and shouted to the carriage:

"Master, young master, the road is being built ahead, and the carriage cannot pass."

Mr. Cheng lifted the curtain and saw that there was a sign in front of him, telling the carriage to detour, or to walk on the side path.

"This is the cement road created by that girl."

Master Cheng got out of the car with the help of the old servant. When he noticed that there was no movement behind him, he patted the carriage, "Can you hide by hiding? Hurry up and get down!"

Gao Yan dawdled out of the carriage with a bitter face.

"Grandfather, please forgive me." He said reluctantly.

Mr. Cheng pushed his grandson behind, the force was not small, Gao Yan was pushed staggeringly, "He is your savior, and you even hugged his girl, this is not a promise, it is a benefactor waiting for you Ruined?"

Gao Yan was about to cry.

"How did I know Mr. Bai was a woman!"

Which woman have you ever seen hit a horse with her body!

Although he admired Brother Xiaobai, he admired him as a man, and suddenly his grandfather told him that it was actually a girl and asked him to give him a promise. He was so shocked that his eyeballs almost fell out.

It was only later that he learned that his grandfather and Brother Xiaobai had known each other and had been paying attention to him for some time.

No wonder grandfather's servants found him as soon as something happened that day, asked him to send a maid to Brother Xiaobai, and gave him money to buy a thank-you gift, but now he is dragging him here to clarify the matter.
Although he is unruly, he also likes girls who are small and gentle!
Gao Yan stood up straight.

"Grandfather, marriage is not a trifling matter. I'd better wait for my grandson to go back and ask my parents—"

"You don't need to ask." Old Master Cheng interrupted him, "Your parents have already agreed."

Gao Yan: "!!!!!!"

Huang Qiuyang walked to the door and saw Gao Yan who was covering his head to hide from the beating, he was a bit surprised, "You are?"

Gao Yan didn't come to the academy these days, he said he was sick from a shock, looking at his mental head now, doesn't he look sick?

Old Master Cheng put down his walking stick and gave Gao Yan a warning look, while the servants hurriedly knocked on the door.

"Old man, don't be joking, I have no plans to marry for the time being."

After hearing the words of Old Master Cheng asking his grandson to repay his kindness, Bai Fu couldn't laugh or cry.

"Twisted melons are not sweet, you should know better than me."

Gao Yan paused for a moment, and finally moved his gaze up and down on the ground, and when he met Shang Baifu's meaningful sighing gaze, he lowered his head suddenly.

Ever since he knew Brother Xiaobai was a woman, he didn't know how to look at her.

Mr. Cheng didn't push too much, he smiled.

"It doesn't matter if you look down on my grandson now, let him make a number first, and the days will be long, maybe one day he will be pleasing to the eye and want to marry."

Gao Yan: "??????"

Can you still get on the pole like this and wait to see it? ?

Bai Fu was so amused by these words, it took him a while to hold back his laughter, and said:

"Then I would like to thank Mr. Cheng for his kindness first, but I don't guarantee that I will come someday."

Mr. Cheng waved his hand indifferently.

"Anyway, someday you want to marry, just think about it in order."

Before Bai Fu could answer, Mr. Cheng changed the subject and seamlessly talked about another matter.

"The sales of medicinal herbs and longevity utensils in Huaizhou are obviously different from previous years. I'm afraid there is an epidemic that you are worried about."

Bai Fu sat up straight and asked seriously:
"Is it pox?"

Old Master Cheng shook his head, "The government hasn't announced it yet, but it seems that most of the medicines are used for emergencies."

The Cheng family is mainly engaged in the collection and wholesale of medicinal materials. They don't have a medical clinic, so they can detect trends in time, but they can't get effective information in the first place.

"Then the vaccination here has to be stepped up." Bai Fu sighed, "If it's too late, are there enough herbs in Raozhou?"

"If there is a concentrated outbreak, I'm afraid the follow-up supply will not be available." Mr. Cheng said.

Gao Yan was in a fog.

Why is it that one moment he was talking about his body promise, but the next moment he couldn't understand what he said.

Then I heard Mr. Cheng ask:
"Are you really sure about this kind of acne? Wouldn't it be rash to plant the first one?"

Bai Fu waved his hand.

"Compared with the epidemic, this rashness is worth it."

That is a certain risk.

Mr. Cheng was horrified, and he was willing to try it first even though he knew it was risky. Is this little girl stupid or courageous?
When Mr. Cheng left, he left Gao Yan behind, saying that he would get the moon first if he was close to the water, and the Huang family's boys were all living in other people's homes, so could his grandson of the Cheng family.

Gao Yan had no choice but to ask Huang Qiuyang to take him in, and by the way, he poured out a lot of bitterness.

Knowing that Gao Yan was given to Xiaobai and was rejected, Huang Qiuyang narrowed his eyes slightly, "Your parents really agreed?"

Gao Yan had a look of lovelessness.

"I also hope that my grandfather lied to me."

But before his grandfather left, the butler told him it was true.

"Brother Huang, Brother Xiaobai, Miss Bai, she should have a sweetheart?" Gao Yan asked in a resentful tone.

Hearing this, the corner of Huang Qiuyang's mouth twitched.

Gao Yan said this in a tone as if Bai Fu would rely on him if he didn't have a sweetheart, and this guy was not so thick-skinned, so he couldn't help sneering, "Don't worry, even if you have a sweetheart, you won't like it, don't use it." This tone is disgusting."

Gao Yan: "?????"

After the conversation just now, he also felt that this possibility is relatively high, but isn't everything just in case?
He was a little worried in private, what happened?
After all, he is so handsome, and the young lady who fascinated him is unknown. Brother Xiaobai said that he is almost past his age, "in case you catch me in a hurry"

Gao Yan looked up, Huang Qiuyang had already turned around and went to the next yard, soon he and Bai Fu were chatting and laughing from the next door.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

Bai Fu's mobilization was almost done, and other matters could not be rushed, so Bai Fu went to the porcelain kiln again.

The batch of things she made last time had been sent to Xiaoxi Village, and she came today to check the progress of the glass and mirrors.

The craftsmen of Huang's family are indeed the masters of masters. The glass she saw today was several levels better than last time. The steward said that they tried to add some other materials. Not only did the glass become more transparent, but also the air bubbles on the glass eliminated.

This way the light transmission is really much better.

It's a pity that the current technology can't make large pieces of flat glass, but can only be made into small pieces and then spliced ​​together with wooden frames.

When Bai Fu planned to go back, he asked Old Carpenter Li to build a yard and put these glass on it.

The manager Lehe came over to show Bai Fu a set of jewelry, "Master, this set of jewelry is made from your medicine jade prescription, you can take it back and try it?"

Bai Fu took a look, there were necklaces, earrings, bracelets, walkers, and accessories inside. Colorful glass beads were inlaid with gold, which looked pretty.

"Are you going to sell it like this?"

Bai Fu picked up a step shaker and looked at it carefully, put it back, and then picked up the jade pendant and hung it on his belt, "What price do you plan to sell this for?"

The steward smiled.

"I don't know about this small one, but I heard that it will be sent to the palace first, so it probably won't be sold for the time being."

Are these glass beads equivalent to modern diamonds in ancient times?

Due to her personality, Bai Fu has no feelings for these things. She is only interested in the future dividends, but after thinking about it, she still accepts it.

Seeing that she had accepted the steward, she smiled and left.

Bai Fu went to see how the mercury mirror was made. She failed that day, and the craftsman made many attempts after that, but the result was still not working.

A craftsman had an idea and pasted the tin foil used for funeral sacrifices, commonly known as gold and silver paper, behind the glass.

Trying to achieve the effect that Bai Fu said verbally.

For the sake of aesthetics, he also wrapped the edge of the glass with a circle of tin.

feel
Well, because the tin foil is not bright and flat enough, it cannot be compared with modern mirrors, but it is better than copper mirrors and silver mirrors.

Bai Fu held the tinfoil mirror and looked at it for a while. Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration and asked the craftsman to bring mercury and pour it on the tinfoil.

soon.

Under the eyes of everyone surprised.

Tin foil undergoes a wonderful change when it encounters mercury. It first gradually turns into a sticky silver-white liquid, and then becomes smooth and shiny. It sticks tightly to the glass.

Bai Fu hooked the corners of his lips triumphantly.

After adding medicine jade and flat glass, she really made a mirror out of it!
She felt that the porcelain kiln of Huang's house was her blessed place, and wished she could stay here permanently.

Unfortunately, she was called back to Xiaoxi Village the next day.

"That's what I saw when I woke up in the morning."

Old Carpenter Li pointed to the large and small footprints and potholes on the cement road that had not yet completely solidified, and said angrily.

Bai Fu asked them to repair the concrete road before the pox cow arrived. They worked hard for several days, and now they are waiting for the cement to solidify.

Seeing that it will be healed in another three or four days, it turns out that such a bad thing happened, and it can be repaired.

But the pox cow can't solidify before it comes.

After watching the scene, Bai Fu went to Mr. Fei's courtyard. Mr. Fei went to the academy. It was Ah Li who opened the door.

"My lord hasn't come back yet." Ah Li said after letting Bai Fu in.

Bai Fu nodded to show that he knew, and then went straight to a corner of the study, "Little dark guard, come out."

The corner is as quiet as a chicken.

Ah Li: Why is Ten Niang talking to the wall?
Dark Guard: How does she know I'm here?

Seeing that the little dark guard didn't intend to come out, Bai Fu asked directly, "Were you there last night? Did you see who destroyed my concrete road?"

Dark Guard: My duty is to protect the master and the house, who is free to guard your cement road?
The dark guard didn't want to answer, but under Bai Fu's persevering gaze, he opened his mouth inexplicably:

"Six people, I don't know each other."

He didn't expect you to know each other, so Bai Fu asked Ah Li to bring a pen and paper, and raised it upwards, "Draw the people you meet and let me see."

Dark Guard: "."

When the little dark guard came out from the shadows, Ah Li was startled.

"Who are you?" he asked in horror.

Bai Fu snorted, looked at Ah Li, and thought to himself, don't you know your son's secret guard?

Or do you think I didn't know it was a deliberate cover-up?

The dark guard took the pen and paper and disappeared in place with a bang.

Bai Fu looked at Ah Li again, and left suspiciously.

In the evening, Mr. Fei sent some portraits, and Bai Fu stared at the sky speechlessly after looking at them.

"Is your dark guard a student of abstraction? What are these paintings?"

Mr. Fei already knew what happened during the day, he bent his lips when he heard this, and asked instead of answering:
"How did you find him?"

Bai Fu was still looking at the portrait with a frown, it's no wonder he could find the murderer with this, he looked up at Young Master Fei for a while, "He has been squatting there for several days, I can't feel a living person?"

When Bai Fu said this, she was extremely calm, as if she hadn't secretly poked and positioned the little dark guard.

Mr. Fei glanced at Bai Fu lightly.

There are really big living people that ordinary people can't feel.

But he didn't say that, because Bai Fu changed the subject guiltily, "Did Ah Li really not know that there are hidden guards at home?"

Mr. Fei didn't answer, but said:

"I asked Xi Nan to find out where those people came from, and I'll let you know if I have any news."

It turned out that the small dark guard was called Xi Nan.

Bai Fu let out an oh, and stopped asking.

There was a sudden silence in the study.

Luo Jin just saw that Mr. Fei came back to his room with a book, so there were only two people in the room at the moment. Seeing Mr. Fei visiting the study, Bai Fu picked up a brush and continued to write and draw.

Yaoyu, glass, mirror, Huang Qiuyang asked her to come up with a cooperation plan. She felt that she was not a greedy person, but she was a little drifting when she wrote it.

She originally thought of Er Ba, her Er, Huang Jia Ba.

After all, the sources of material and labor are all owned by the Huang family, and product improvement is also done by the Huang family's craftsmen. Her original technology is [-]% profitable, which is not a small amount.

But when she thought about it, the Huang family had the capital to compete with the Sheng family because of these three items, and she felt that Sanqi was not an exaggeration.

"Have you seen the medicine jade from Huangshang Sheng's family?" Bai Fu hesitated, and decided to ask Mr. Fei.

Mr. Fei turned around slowly, nodded hesitantly, and asked:
"Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

Bai Fu briefly talked about the cooperation with the Huang family, and then took out the set of jewelry given to her by the housekeeper to show Mr. Fei, "How do you think my beads compare with those of the Sheng family?"
