Disgusting husband cultivates virtuous

Chapter 60 Bought
The next morning, Xie Xian'er went to the kitchen to cook a small pot of red rice porridge. There was still leftovers from yesterday, so there was no need to make pastries.The Korean spicy cabbage made two days ago can also be eaten, so I served two small dishes.

Nanny Zhan looked at the spicy cabbage and sniffled, Xie Xianer smiled and served them another dish.Nurse Zhan impatiently picked up a piece and tasted it, and said in surprise, "God, any pickle made by grandma is much more delicious than ours."

Xie Xian'er smiled and said, "How can I be so capable. Except for making small dishes, other cooking skills are much worse than those of Nanny and Mrs. He. This pickle is also something I thought of randomly, and it's a coincidence that it tastes so good."

Today's breakfast was undoubtedly greatly appreciated by the two old and the two young.Mrs. Tai tried her best to persuade him, but the old man still ate a lot.Brother Zhen and Brother Lin pulled Xie Xianer's sleeve and asked her to rub her belly.

Since the old man was still not well, Mrs. Tai didn't take him out, she just helped him around in the yard to digest food, and the two children followed them.

Xie Xian'er thought that she happened to go to Zhang's iron workshop, so she called Uncle Zhou into the east chamber.

Uncle Zhou said, "I told Brother Dazhong yesterday, and he was very happy to hear that. He said that whenever Second/Grandma wanted to watch it, he would be notified in advance, and he would avoid the workers."

Xie Xian'er nodded and said, "Then let Brother Dashuan go and tell him, we'll go and have a look in half an hour."

Uncle Zhou hurriedly went to the outer courtyard to make arrangements, while Xie Xianer went to find Mrs. Tai.As soon as I passed through the ear room of the upper room, I heard the laughter of the two children and the loud voice of the old man coming from the east courtyard.

Xie Xian'er passed through the Moon Gate and came to Dongkua Courtyard. This is a large courtyard house, and the house is more magnificent than the main courtyard.There are also several craftsmen invited from other places who are carving pillars and beams.The landscaping in the yard is basically completed, with green trees, green bamboos, and colorful flowers. It took a lot of work.Especially the wall separated from the main courtyard is full of roses.

Mrs. Tai was sitting on the stone bench under the tree, an old man and two young children were playing around, Brother Zhen and Brother Lin chased after each other around the old man, making the old man very happy.

Xie Xianer said to Mrs. Tai, "The grandson-in-law saw that the Huitiao vegetable was very fat and tender at the Yuqing River the day before yesterday. I heard from Madam Zhou that this kind of dish is delicious when mixed with garlic and vinegar. It removes heat and relieves greasy taste. , granddaughter-in-law wants to pick some up and cook for grandpa.”

Mrs. Tai nodded and said yes, and reminded, "It's a hot day today, take a carriage, don't get too hot."

The two children also clamored to go, but Mrs. Tai disagreed, saying, "That road is bare and there are not many trees. Don't get hot, and go later when the sun is lighter."

Xie Xian'er was very happy in her heart, Mrs. Tai is so cute, she said everything she wanted to say.

Wang Xi drove the carriage and waited at the gate of the courtyard. Xie Xianer took Uncle Zhou, Nanny Zhou, and Luzhi into the carriage.

At this time, the sun is shining and the temperature is high. Sitting in the car is very hot, but it is not like sitting outside like Uncle Zhou.It's not good to sit outside, it's too hot.

The road was not easy to walk, narrow and bumpy, and the carriage could not run too fast. It took about three quarters of an hour to arrive at the iron workshop.When they got out of the carriage, they saw Zhou Dashuan waiting at the gate accompanied by a black man in his thirties.

Uncle Zhou introduced, "Second/Grandma, this is Brother Zhang Dazhong."

Zhang Dazhong's black face was a little red, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "I have seen Ma Er/Grandma."

Xie Xianer smiled and said, "Uncle Zhang is being polite."

Several people entered the yard and saw that the whole workshop was distributed in a square shape. In the middle of an open space stood an old iron furnace with a backward design. There was a blower attached to the furnace. Some scrap iron, some firewood and firewood were scattered around. Charcoal.

In a row of sheds without walls on the left, the ground is full of piles of sand for modeling, and some wooden molds of farm tools and kitchen utensils are placed on the side shelves.The houses on the right have a site for making molds, a resting place for craftsmen, and warehouses for all kinds of farm tools and kitchen utensils that have been cast and are waiting to be sold.

In the shed behind the furnace, there are some blanks that have just been cast. There are still sand and gates on the blanks. It seems that the craftsmen sent them away before they cleaned them up.

Although the equipment is backward and the workmanship is rough, it is still beginning to take shape.

As long as the structure of the furnace is improved and the angle and size of the tuyeres are changed more reasonably, the temperature of the molten iron can be increased.Then make some technical improvements to the various casting processes, add a few heat treatment processes, and add some forging processes, and you will be able to manufacture high-quality steel products that are hundreds or even thousands of years ahead.

At that time, she, Xie Xian'er, might be the pioneer of this time-space industrial revolution, and people on the other side of the ocean can only worship and look up to her.Of course, being high-profile is not her style, she has to get someone to stand in front of her, the honor belongs to him, and of course the benefits belong to herself.

Xie Xian'er said happily, "Uncle Zhang, if you really want to resell the workshop, I will buy it. According to your price, 120 taels of silver."

Uncle Zhang rubbed his hands happily, and said, "If this is the case, of course my old Zhang is willing. However, I have one more thing to say first. Er/Grandma is the master of Brother Zhou, and Brother Zhou and I are very close. Let you go at a loss. Buy this workshop [-]/Grandma should think carefully, the business of the iron workshop is not easy to do."

He is really a sincere and kind person, Xie Xianer's image of him is better.

"Uncle Zhang, don't worry, since I have decided to buy it, I must have some confidence." Xie Xian'er said.

Uncle Zhang said again, "Besides me, there are eight fellows in this workshop. I have an unfeeling request. If Second/Grandma still wants to make iron, please continue to hire these eight people. They followed me. After so long, I can't bear to ruin their jobs because I ruined their jobs. Besides, they are all good at work, and I won't lie to you. "

Xie Xianer laughed, "Not only will I continue to hire them, but if Uncle Zhang is willing, I would also like to ask you to be the foreman here to help me take care of them, and the salary is easy to negotiate."

Zhang Dazhong said happily, "Of course Lao Zhang is willing. I have worked in my old profession for decades, and I will suffer if I think about throwing it away. If Er/Grandma is willing to continue to let me work here, I will definitely do my best." it is good."

Several people entered the house, Xie Xian'er took 100 taels of silver notes and 20 taels of cash to Uncle Zhou, and after a while, he went to invite Lizheng from the village to be a middleman, and Uncle Zhou bought the workshop on her behalf.

He gave Uncle Zhou another three taels of silver, invited everyone to have a meal at noon, and then went to the county to complete the deed.

After finishing all this, Lu Zhi just came back from the river, carrying a basket of Huitiao vegetables in her hand.Except for Uncle Zhou and Zhou Dashuan, the others boarded the car and returned to Zhuangzi.
