Became a prodigy in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 228 Master Cui Who Almost Spits Blood From Anger
The tour guide saw what Master Cui was thinking.Hastily said: "Master Cui, this is the rule here. It is established by Zhongguo, and there is nothing we can do about it. But I can assure you that after entering the fire factory, I will show you everything you want to see .”

Damn, this guy wants money.

Ok!

Now that you go in, you can learn the real matchmaking technology.It's not a loss to spend a hundred guan.

Not to mention a hundred hits, even a thousand hits and ten thousand hits are not a loss!
The most important thing is that you have already paid [-] pennies when you entered the door. If you don't pay now, the [-] pennies will be in vain.

With a big wave of Master Cui's hand, the hundred guan was handed over.

Then a Xuanjia soldier named Niuzi jumped out with a smile and said: "My lord, my name is Niuzi, do you want a professional technician? I am a professional technician in this match factory. With me by your side, after you go in, If you see anything you don’t understand, I can explain it to you one by one. Because I am a professional, the price is a bit expensive, and I only need to give one hundred guan.”

Another hundred guan, my God, who are these people here?
But there was no way, this was exactly the person he was looking for.

If no one explained it, he would definitely be confused after he went in.If no one explained it to him, he would definitely not be able to understand it.

One hundred guan is one hundred guan!Anyway, that's exactly who he needs.

Compared with the manufacturing technology of getting matches, it is insignificant!

In the words of the Cantonese, it means sprinkling water!

In this way, one hundred guan was handed over again.

The straightforwardness surprised Ma Zi and Niu Zi a lot.

At this moment, they really admire Cheng Chuli!

This is money they will never earn in their entire lives.Just like this, you can earn money by talking about it.

This money is too damn easy to earn.

Duke Zhong is really a child prodigy!

What made Master Cui even more happy was that this time, the people he brought were not stopped.

Just like that, he carried a few boxes and followed him into the match factory.

As soon as I entered the match factory, I saw a large empty yard.

Around the compound, there are workshops one after another.

In the compound.The workers are briskly busy, shuttling through the workshops with what they need.

What a busy scene.

Then, Master Cui's heart skipped a beat again, because there were two Xuanjia soldiers standing at the door of each workshop.

This is your sister, don't you want money again?

Sure enough, when they reached the door of the first workshop, they were stopped.

This is the first workshop. If you want to go in and visit it, you also need to pay [-] guan.

In this place, there is no reason to talk about it, and what people say is what they say.

You don't have to pay, but if you don't pay, you can only look at it in this compound.In this compound, nothing can be seen.

Master Cui is numb, Cheng Chuli, Cheng Chuli, you are desperate for money.

Well, isn't it just money?As long as you can get the manufacturing technology of matches, these are all sprinkles.

But this time, Master Cui had a good eye and asked: "After paying the money here, do I need to pay any more money?"

The Xuanjia soldier who guards the door is very bachelor, and replied directly: "No need. As long as you pay the money to enter, everything inside will be disclosed to you."

Well, since that's the case, it's not wrong to spend this hundred pennies.

After Mr. Cui paid a hundred guan, he walked in and took a look, and he was immediately dumbfounded.

what are they doing
That's right, Master Cui saw dozens of people sharpening matchsticks with knives.

Niu Zi came up to pick it up and said, "Master Cui, this is our first workshop, and what we do is the first step in making matches. Cutting match sticks."

"First of all, we need to select dry and flammable wood to make small sticks, which we call matchsticks. After they are made, they can be sent to the second workshop for the next step of making matches."

This is so special.

It's up to you to say, I don't know how to read it?

Master Cui felt so heartbroken. After spending a hundred pennies, what he saw turned out to be sharpening match sticks. Who wouldn't know this?Do you still need to spend a hundred guan to see this?

Master Cui clutched his chest, trying his best not to vomit blood.

Niu Zi seemed to see his mood, and explained: "Master Cui, this is indeed the first step in making matches. It is as simple as that. Don't tell me, Master Cui, you still want us to play tricks on you to make you think that you are Is it worth spending this consistent dollar?"

Master Cui said quickly: "No, no, what I want to see is the most real thing. Let's go to the next workshop to have a look."

Isn't it just one hundred coins?I can still afford it.In order to learn the production technology of matches, this little money is worth it.

Master Cui thought hard in his heart.

Then, everyone came to the door of the second workshop.

The door of the second workshop was also blocked by Xuanjia soldiers, and not just two, but several.

"Sorry, this second workshop is the core technology of our match factory. If you want to go in and visit it, you need to pay [-] yuan."

"What, one thousand... money?"

Master Cui swallowed hard and spit.

What the hell, this trick is really deep!

From the initial twenty punctures and ten punctures to one hundred punctures, now it has grown to a thousand punctures.

If you don't pay the thousand guan, then the 230 guan spent earlier will be in vain.

This is really a dilemma!
What Master Cui didn't know was that in later generations, I don't know how many people were fooled by this routine.Liars are doing it all the time.

For example, a simple mobile phone winning the lottery.First let you pay dozens, then hundreds, and then thousands.Keep asking you to pay until you vomit blood.

Many people are still regretting that they have no money to pay.

It's a pity, but I'm out of money, and if I had more money to pay, I'd get the big prize.

It was not until many years later that this routine was made public that fewer people fell for it.

Master Cui endured the pain in his heart, and asked through gritted teeth: "Brother, are you sure that the second workshop is the core technology of your match factory?"

The Xuanjiabing explained: "Of course, there are four workshops in our match factory. It only costs one hundred guan to visit the first and third workshops. But our second and fourth workshops cost one thousand Guan Qian. Do you think our second workshop is important?"

Oh I got it.

As long as it's not charging me indiscriminately.

Although Master Cui was a little heartbroken, he still handed over the thousand money.

When he led people into the second workshop, he had to sigh that the second workshop was really important.

Because he couldn't understand what the workers were busy with.

I saw that the workers were carefully messing with some dark things there.I can see that he is completely confused!

"Brother Niuzi, what are they doing?"

Niu Zi quickly explained: "These here are called potassium chlorate, and those over there are sulfur. Workers are mixing potassium chlorate and sulfur together. Then they will be made into match coal."

"This is very dangerous. If you are not careful, it will burn. Oh, by the way, Master Cui, you don't have any kindling on your body, do you? This thing is not a joke."

I hurt your sister.

Master Cui couldn't help but want to swear, and asked, "What are these potassium chlorate and sulfur?"

Niu Zi said: "Potassium chlorate and sulfur are these things!"

"No, why can't I explain it clearly?"

Master Cui said angrily, "I'm asking you, what is this potassium chlorate and sulfur?"

Niuzi said confusedly: "Potassium chlorate and sulfur are these things! Everything here is public, haven't you seen it all? Why are you so angry? I didn't hide anything from you."

Master Cui almost died of anger, and asked loudly: "I'm asking you, where did the potassium chlorate and sulfur come from?"

"Oh! So that's what you asked, let's make it clear!"

Niu Zi suddenly realized: "The potassium chlorate and sulfur were sent by my family's Zhong Guogong."

Oh my god!

Master Cui clutched his chest, he was so angry that he swayed there, he almost fainted.

Fortunately, the people behind him quickly supported him.Otherwise, he would definitely fall headfirst to the ground.

However, what he didn't know was that Cheng Chuli didn't lie to him, let alone trick him on purpose.

Even in later generations, the match factory is almost like this.

You don't know how to make potassium chlorate and sulfur. To learn the manufacturing technology of potassium chlorate and sulfur, you have to go to the factory of potassium chlorate and sulfur.

In other words, his more than 1000 pennies were well spent.So far, he has learned how to make matches.

Unfortunately, Datang does not sell potassium chlorate and sulfur.

Niu Zi said: "Master Cui, don't be angry. If you are angry, you will be ill. In fact, after you have seen the third and fourth workshops, you will definitely know how matches are made. Anyway, if you have materials, If you ask me to make it now, it must be no problem."

"Oh?"

Master Cui's eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "Really?"

Niu Zi nodded and said proudly, "Of course."

It turns out that the secret lies in the third and fourth workshops?

Master Cui lost his temper immediately.

Think about it too, why are you angry?If you want to learn about this match factory before you finish visiting it, then it will definitely not work.

I spent more than 1000 and [-] guan, and it is acceptable to spend another [-] guan.

Then, Master Cui paid another one hundred guan and came to the third workshop.

What you see is that workers stick match coal to one end of the matchstick, the match head, to make a match.

"Is it such a simple thing again?"

Master Cui suddenly became angry again.If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have spent the hundred dollars.

At this point, the match is manufactured.

Then why is there a fourth workshop?Could it be that the secret is in the fourth workshop?

No wonder the fourth workshop also costs a thousand guan.

Up to now, Master Cui has no more hesitation, and handed over the one thousand guan money very readily.Then, came the fourth workshop.

In fact, Workshop Four has no secrets at all.

What is the fourth workshop for?In fact, the fourth workshop is to produce packing boxes and matches.

There is nothing fancy about this production box.

Master Cui noticed that after the workers finished the packing box, they also painted a kind of black thing on the side of the packing box. I don't know what it was.

So he asked Niu Zi, "Niu Zi, what is it that they are smearing?"

Niuzi did not hide anything, and explained: "We need to paint the phosphorus surface containing red phosphorus and white phosphorus on the packaging box. When using it, rub the match on the phosphorus surface, and it will ignite. This is what matches are made of. Master Cui, did you understand the whole process?"

At this time, Master Cui was no longer angry.Already overwhelmed.

He asked calmly, "Brother Niuzi, can you tell me where can I get potassium chlorate, sulfur, red phosphorus and white phosphorus?"

It seems that Master Cui is not stupid.After visiting the match factory, he had already grasped the point.

There is nothing wrong with the way matches are made.The most important thing is to find the material.

Niu Zi was a little embarrassed and said: "Well, you have to ask our Zhong Guogong. All the materials in this match factory are provided by our Zhong Guogong."

"In fact, every factory in our entire Wannian Co., Ltd. cannot produce things completely independently, and must cooperate with other material factories."

"For example, have you seen it? The pattern on this box, isn't it beautiful? I believe you recognize it too. This is the portrait of our Tang Dynasty Princess Changle."

"Our match factory can't do this. We have to cooperate with the printing factory. They sent us the printed paper, and we are making it into matchboxes. Do you understand? Master Cui."

The reason is such a reason, Master Cui understands it, but he hears it so much that he wants to cry!

It is not wrong for him to learn the matchmaking technology.However, what is the difference between learning and not learning?
The 2000-odd money was spent so frankly that it was wronged.

Niu Zi said: "Master Cui, you have finished visiting the four workshops of the match factory. Excuse me, is there anything else Master Cui would like to see?"

I want to see your sister?
Cui Da was so angry that he wanted to scold people, and he led them away from the match factory without saying a word.

When I came to the outside of the yard, I saw people like Niu Zi, leading groups of officials, visiting every workshop like him.

Coincidentally, Mr. Zheng in front had a good relationship with him.

Master Cui went up to remind him, "Master Zheng, don't look at it, I've seen it all. The things in this match factory are very simple. Let's go together, and I'll tell you that you will be able to do it."

Mr. Zheng thought, are you so kind?Will you tell me so easily what you learned by spending money?I'm afraid I'm afraid I'll learn to steal your business, right?
Mr. Zheng looked at him and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Cui, for your kindness, but I am still very curious about this match factory. Isn't it just a matter of spending some money? I'd better take a look for myself! Mr. Cui, please go ahead." .”

Master Cui understood as soon as he heard it.The old fellow didn't trust him at all.

Comrade Cui was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.But there is no way.

Forget it, we can't stop him if he wants to die.

Master Cheng left the match factory angrily.I didn't remind any familiar officials I met on the road.

After he came outside, he asked Ma Zi: "Brother Ma Zi, which factory do you think is here, can you learn it after going in and looking at it?"
