Modern people who traveled through the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 14
Mrs. Cheng stopped trying to persuade Zhao Han to eat, and hurriedly said: "Xiao Han, what are you talking about? Tell your aunt quickly."

Hearing Zhao Han say that there is something that can pass the time, and it is very fun, everyone immediately became interested.

The three brothers of the Cheng family are practicing martial arts at home, and it is impossible to study. They have the same virtue as Cheng Yaojin. It is better to kill them than to let them study, so they begged Zhao Han to take them out. Cheng Chuxue likes to study, but it takes too long to do one kind of thing , No matter how much you like it, you will feel bored, so everyone can't wait to know that Zhao Han can make new things.

"This thing is mahjong."

"Mahjong? How to play?" Cheng Chubi asked impatiently.

"I can't tell for a while, but you will know when it is done."

(I won’t explain the bird card here. It was invented in the Ming Dynasty. You can use Baidu for details. I won’t count the words)
After finishing speaking, I don’t wait for everyone to ask some questions. After all, no matter how much I say, it’s better to do it. Let them play and know.

Zhao Han went to the back to find the housekeeper and said, "Steward Ma, do you have ivory or rhinoceros horn at home? Bamboo slices are also fine."

"If you go back to Uncle, there are still some ivory at home, and there are not many rhinoceros horns. Do you want to use it? I will order someone to fetch it for Uncle."

"Okay, don't bother Steward Ma. By the way, Steward Ma, you are looking for some craftsmen for me. I have something to tell them to do."

"Okay, uncle, wait a moment, I'll go right away."

After the butler finished speaking, he hurriedly ordered his servants to prepare quickly.

Zhao Han is thinking, can mahjong also make money?But after thinking about it for a while, I gave up.

It is certain to make money, but there is no way to mass-produce this thing. Besides, modern mahjong is made of hard rubber. How can common people have free time to play mahjong, and there are not many rich people, and there are craftsmen at home, so they can make a mahjong set at home.

What Zhao Han thinks about now is the violent industry. People who are troublesome and earn little money like this don't like it.

Just send Mrs. Cheng off. After all, without Cheng Yaojin, I would not get the title of Uncle Lantian, and unlike those second generations, they inherited the title of their family. Although they are higher than themselves, they have less rights than me. The second generation Never compare to a generation.

Steward Ma asked his servants to bring over the ivory, and he could see no less than twenty ivory.

"I'll go. The old goblin didn't notice. There are still a lot of goods at home. I'm rich enough to make two sets of mahjong. I was worried that it wouldn't be enough, but now I don't have to worry about it."

At this time, the butler brought the craftsmen from the family over. Zhao Han saw that there were more than 20 craftsmen.

"Well, it seems that mahjong can be made today."

"Uncle, look, all the craftsmen in the family are here. Uncle, you can just say what you want. These craftsmen are still good at craftsmanship, and the blacksmiths and carpenters are the most."

"Thank you Steward Ma. Steward Ma, go get busy, haven't you eaten yet? Go and eat quickly, I'll just talk to the craftsman."

"That's all right, Uncle, you are busy first, and I will leave first. There are still many things at home that I need to order. If you have any orders, Uncle, just let the servants find me at any time."

After the butler finished speaking, he withdrew, and Zhao Han expressed his thoughts to see if the craftsmen could make them according to his own size. At this time, a man in his 30s walked out of the craftsmen and said, "Uncle Are you talking about something similar to grain and grass badges? I used to do small ones, but they were made of bamboo slices. Isn’t it a pity to use ivory? In the past, the leaders who escorted grain and grass had small badges made of bamboo slices.”

As soon as Zhao Han heard that the craftsman's mind was very flexible, he just talked about mahjong in general, and he knew how to do it.

"What's your name? Zhao Han asked curiously."

"Uncle Hui, the younger one is called Cao Goudan. He has been a craftsman in the Cheng Mansion for 20 years."

"Well, very good, let me ask you, according to what I said, can you make it today?"

"Back to Uncle, if we craftsmen do it together, it will take two days. After all, blacksmiths and bricklayers can't do carvings. The mahjong that Zhao Han said is 130 six cards (northern mahjong), without flowers which kind of."

It was only then that Zhao Han remembered that there was no concept of assembly line work in ancient times, so he immediately explained the benefits of assembly line work to these craftsmen. In fact, people who have come in the 21st century know what is the most time-saving way to work.

What Zhao Han was talking about was nothing more than the division of several processes into one process. These craftsmen used to start from grinding to size before carving, and the craftsmanship of the craftsmen was uneven. It was the most time-consuming to do fine work. Separate the craftsmen and let the blacksmiths And bricklayers who don't know how to carve to make the size of mahjong, carvers can just carve, which saves a lot of time.

"Uncle really has great wisdom, or it is said that Uncle has inherited the Taoism of immortals, and I admire it."

Zhao Han was confused, when did I get the immortal inheritance?But if you think about it, you will know. In ancient times, there was no TV, and the communication was not standard. Generally speaking, the taste will change in the mouth of the third person. Don’t underestimate the imagination of ancient times. This is good, so that you will not have to explain everything later up.

"Okay, according to the method I said, when can you make it? Just make one pair first, and the rest will come slowly."

"If you go back to Uncle, if you follow Uncle's method, you can make a pair before dark."

"Okay, then you guys can start, do what I am satisfied with, and I will reward you a lot."

At this time, Zhao Han is planning how to get these more than 20 craftsmen to come here. What he lacks most now are craftsmen. Go to the human tooth market to buy?This is impossible, I have to keep my money in the exchange system, and I need to plan carefully in the early stage. Besides, the artisans in the human tooth market are too expensive, who knows if my mouth will not be clean, just in case I tell my little secret. what to do? (The human tooth market is the place where people were bought and sold in ancient times.)
Why!Poor, Zhao Han sighed while walking to the living room, and when he walked back to the living room, he saw that everyone hadn’t left after eating, so he waited for Zhao Han to come back and then carefully explained mahjong to them. After all, it was too boring, and he was fine at home Do.

"Xiaohan, you are back, come over to eat quickly, and tell your aunt about this mahjong item after eating."

Zhao Han had no choice but to bite the bullet and eat some boiled radish and green vegetables. He was really not used to it, but he couldn't make the iron pot yet, and it would make people suspicious to bring out so many novelties at once.

"Auntie is just talking about it, I can't explain it clearly. I have already told the craftsman how to do it, and it can be made before dark. Auntie, you can wait."

"That's all right. You must tell your aunt when you're done. By the way, the story about the seven fairies that Xiaoxue told me just now is very interesting. Did your master tell you that? Could it be that there are really gods in the sky?"

In ancient times, ghosts and gods were superstitious, and it was no wonder Mrs. Cheng was curious, anyway, it was fine, and she planned to ask Zhao Han to tell her more stories about heaven.
