I have the best bloodline.

Although Su Yan had never seen his mother give money, she did provide food and accommodation for the monks she rescued.

"Dip net?"

Auntie was stunned, then chuckled and said, "It is indeed quite in line with your mother's style. After so many years, she is still so unstable and has a temper like a young lady."

Su Qing is not a stable person. She is also more erratic and naughty. Auntie really believes that Su Qing can use a scoop net to randomly rescue monks from the streets and bring them back as labor.

After all, foxes are really easy to get angry.

"By the way, auntie, please see if there are any plans to renovate the brothel recently. I have some small sponsorship and ideas here."

Su Yan sat next to his auntie, hugged his auntie's arm and tried to persuade her to install floor heating in the brothel.

Floor heating is not a mysterious technique. Things like kangs also exist. Of course, Su Yan does not like those kangs for heating, because foxes are members of the canine family, with a more developed and sensitive sense of smell, and burning charcoal can easily smoke their noses.

Su Yan plans to install water heating in the brothel, because there is a lot of natural gas underground in Xiayu, and rich families can use gas at will by paying a fire well fee to the court.

The brothel is a full wooden structure. It only needs to arrange for craftsmen to short-circuit the pipeline, and then make some things like water wheels to circulate the heated water continuously, so that the brothel can maintain a higher temperature. In this way, Su Yan does not need to show his true form and does not need to be afraid of the cold winter.

"And once the brothel is warm, the ladies of Xiayu will not need to continue to roast the braziers at home, torturing themselves with cold and heat, won't our business be better?"

"My idea is absolutely great, and it will not have the explosion and burning smell of ashes like the kang." Su Yan promised solemnly.

"But. Those ladies usually use the bodies of maids to keep warm in winter, and hold a fox in their arms to warm their hands and stomachs. It's not like what you said, that when you burn charcoal to keep warm, your chest is hot and your back is cold."

Auntie laughed and teased Su Yan about the phenomenon he said. The lives of the nobles in Xia Yu were more comfortable than you thought. Some ladies who were afraid of the cold went to the western states or southern states to avoid the cold before the snow fell. They were not cold at all.

"Uh"

Su Yan was surprised: "Can you play like this? How to use maids to keep warm?"

"Well, this is too vulgar. Auntie is not convenient to show you. Just use your imagination."

I will update it later. I should be able to update it four times today. Please vote.

Also, thank you for helping me find bugs. I read your comments and will correct any typos immediately.

The Queen would like to thank the big guys for their help and wish everyone a happy New Year.

Chapter 51 Outrageous (four updates today, please read later)

"Okay! If you like it, there's no problem."

After listening to Su Yan's proposal on circulating water heating, the aunt pondered for a while, and then looked at the talented women sitting in the lobby to keep warm by the fire, and then agreed to Su Yan's request and decided to repair the brothel. Anyway, there was no business in winter, so it was better to rest.

Of course, the repairs were not worth Su Yan's money. Although the aunt claimed to be poor and destitute every day, and even poor was written on her name, poverty was relative. The aunt was the kind of poor who had no shortage of small money but no big money.

It was easy to pay a few hundred kilograms or thousands of kilograms of spirit stones, but the aunt really couldn't pay tens of thousands of spirit stones. Two rounds of martial arts examinations paralyzed the aunt's savings. Now the whole arrogant insect was paralyzed in the brothel and was unwilling to move.

It didn't cost much to repair it. If Su Yan had any ideas, he could have fun.

Active and naughty children grow up to be smart!

".According to your requirements, ordinary bamboo tubes may not be able to withstand the alternation of cold and heat for several years. My suggestion is that you spend two thousand kilograms of spiritual stones to replace ordinary bamboo materials with spiritual bamboo as tubes, which will ensure that they can be used even when the building collapses."

After repairing the brothel, the aunt took Su Yan to a carpenter she knew, and Su Yan told the carpenter about his ideas. The carpenter pondered for a while and expressed his concerns:

"Bamboo is usually not a big problem for hot water to flow through pipes, but you said that it is a big problem when it is only used in winter. Bamboo will absorb a lot of water when it is soaked in water all year round. It may become moldy during the drying process, and then it will be dried into a brittle shell without water nourishment all year round."

"In short, it will not be used for a long time. It is not worth using spiritual bamboo as a material. You might as well go to Lao Zhang to see if he can make such iron pipes."

The carpenter thought about it and recommended Lao Zhang from the blacksmith shop next door to Su Yan and his aunt, asking them to go and have a look.

Although the processing of bamboo is not difficult, Su Yan bluntly said that thousands of bamboo pipes and curved joints are needed. The only difficulty for carpenters is that there is no money to make!

Collecting so many materials of the same size is originally a high labor cost. Moreover, the manufacturing difficulty of that thing is not high, and it is impossible to charge too high a labor cost. It also takes a lot of time to polish it. Unless spiritual bamboo is used as a material, the old carpenter will lose money.

The carpenter thought about it and felt that the deal was not cost-effective, so he suggested that they change the material and idea.

If you think the iron pipe is not beautiful, can't I make a ceiling here as a decorative panel to cover it?

The overall labor cost is even cheaper.

"Iron pipes and joints? Of course I can do it! Do you need hundred-fold steel or bronze or brass? As long as you pay the deposit, I can knock out anything. My forging speed depends on how fast you pay."

The young man sitting next to the furnace was stunned, and smiled and said to Su Yan: "Of course, the installation fee is calculated separately."

"You are so capable?"

Su Yan's face was full of disbelief. He had just opened his mouth and hadn't even mentioned the diameter of the pipe, so how could you do it?

"You don't believe it?"

The young man smiled and lifted his clothes, revealing the meteorite iron hundred-refined token hanging around his waist: "Do you believe it with this thing as a guarantee? Let alone the iron pipe, as long as the silver bill is in place, I can hammer a pair of iron pants to cover your butt in ten minutes!"

The meteorite iron hundred-refined token is a characteristic symbol of a sect in the cultivation world that is famous for refining weapons. Because meteorite contains a lot of impurities, smelting and forging is originally a very difficult task, but the entry standard for disciples of the weapon sect is to use meteorite iron to forge a hundred-refined token.

The young man in front of him is a disciple of the 'weapon sect' who went out for training.

Don't mention the small iron pipe. If the young man of the weapon sect is angry, as long as the aunt doesn't intervene, the young man can forge a ligature in two minutes, and then spend three minutes to tie Su Yan directly.

"You are awesome."

Su Yan saw the token of Qi Zong, and after a long pause, he finally said something awesome: "I will leave everything to you."

"But... Don't give me iron pants or anything like that, I probably won't need that kind of thing."

Su Yan knew the token of Qi Zong, and ordinary people can also see the emblem of Qi Zong in their homes, such as on high-end kitchen knives or some weapons made of Bailian steel.

In the cultivation world, from birth to death, there are always utensils forged by Qi Zong.

After the young man showed his strength, Su Yan also took out 20 kilograms of spirit stones to show his strength.

"It will be done in half a month!"

Forty kilograms of spirit stones.

"Ten days!"

Fifty kilograms of spirit stones.

"If it can't be done in five days, Zhang will commit suicide by jumping into the river!"

Sixty

"Stop, stop, stop, it won't work unless you add 100 kilograms of spirit stones, I'll ask my senior brother to help."

Su Yan: "."

Xia Yu is indeed a money-hungry man, even the residents living here will become money-hungry.

………………

The price of fifty catties of spirit stones is not too expensive compared to the price of two thousand catties of spirit stones offered by the carpenter before. Moreover, the disciples of the Qi Zong also use forging materials of the hundred-refined steel level to forge ordinary utensils.

The so-called hundred-refined steel is to forge pig iron once, fold it once, and forge it again, and keep folding and forging. The hundred-refined steel is just an entry point. A skilled blacksmith can easily forge five hundred or even a thousand-refined steel.

This thing can't be faked, because the hundred-refined steel will show special patterns after acid immersion. The higher the number of forging and folding, the more complex the pattern, and even the pattern can be customized.

The utensils produced by the Qi Zong start with hundred-refined steel, because they really like to show off their skills.

Of course, the reason why Su Yan knows Qi Zong can also be said to be because of his mother.

When he was about two years old, Su Qing and Ao Renlin were ready to adapt to the local customs and make a set of pure gold longevity locks for Su Yan. As a result, the master of the Qi Zong refused the request of Su Yan's parents.

That day, Su Yan saw the table shaking, and the ground was shaking when the palm hit the table.

Su's mother called the master, and the master knelt down and immediately made a longevity lock and a golden anklet. The master of Qi Zong also gave Su Yan an extra storage ring as a belated 100-day gift.

At night, he also used his little treasure furnace to roast a monster for the family of three.

The taste was really delicious. Although Su Yan's teeth had not grown fully at that time, his father tore a piece from it and let Su Yan suck the aroma of barbecue.

Since then, Su Yan has remembered Qi Zong, and the word Qi Zong is equivalent to a barbecue stall in Su Yan's heart.

………………

On the morning of the sixth day back in the brothel, Lao Zhang built the pipes and interfaces in five days as promised. Hua Lingshi hired some young monks in the body and qi refining stages to come and install water heating pipes and circulation pools in my aunt's brothel.

"Anyway, just lay one layer on the ground, one layer on the top, and lay all of them, right? Then connect two large pipes as the outlet and inlet to the circulation pool." Lao Zhang threw the blueprint in front of Su Yan and asked him to look at it.

Su Yan went over with empty hands and mouth. Lao Zhang not only forged a hundred-fold steel thin pipe within five days, but also set up the circulation pool that Su Yan wanted, using the high and low pressure of the house to circulate the water in the pipe.

The professionalism of the blueprint made Su Yan stunned.

"It's normal! We not only refine weapons, but also involve mechanism learning. Otherwise, how can we refine strange weapons or the unique warehouse door?" Lao Zhang smiled and said disapprovingly: "How can you make a living in a big city like Xiayu without some skills?"

".Brother Zhang is awesome."

At Lao Zhang, Su Yan was speechless again, and after a long time, he said something awesome.

23333While writing, I dozed off accidentally because of the cold weather, and it was almost an hour since I fell asleep.

Fortunately, I slept on a chair, otherwise I would not sleep well.

Chapter 52 The brothel reopens!

With the help of the disciples of Qi Zong who were out for training, Su Yan made rapid progress in renovating the brothel. Except for the first day when the lobby had to be pried open and no one could move around freely, the rest of the time was spent laying pipes on the ceiling and installing a pressure circulation pool on the roof.

It did not affect the lives of dozens of people in the brothel, but the construction area needed to be temporarily vacated and the wood chips needed to be cleaned up afterwards.

Because the repairmen are all monks, the basic working hours are six hours a day. In four days, all the metal pipes have been installed. In the remaining two days, Lao Zhang also redesigned the ceiling and arranged carpenters to install the ceiling. Except for the height of the floor being slightly lowered by one foot, it is no different from the original.

"Three days for installation, one day for testing the tightness of water circulation, and the remaining three days for making the ceiling and the fire well. Basically, all the functions you mentioned have been realized."

In the brothel where the water and heating circulation is turned on, Lao Zhang is full of smugness, holding a stack of papers, and stuffing them into Su Yan's arms, ready to settle the final payment with him.

Fifty kilograms of spiritual stones are the cost of the pipeline and the pool. Arranging the repair requires an additional labor fee. These have been agreed before the start. Now Lao Zhang feels that the repair work and acceptance are very perfect, so he can naturally come to Su Yan very arrogantly to settle the final payment.

"It's really great!"

Su Yan sat in the lobby of the brothel. He had taken off his two coats. He didn't feel the slightest bit of coolness even in his thin summer clothes. Outside the window, the temperature might have reached below zero because of the snow.

The advantage of wooden buildings is reflected in this. No additional insulation layer is needed inside or outside the brothel.

The talented women who usually wear rabbit fur shawls and rub their hands now change into silk skirts of different colors and walk around the lobby like dancing.

………………

"Hey"

Auntie waved to Lao Zhang to pay the bill. Su Yan looked at the talented women who were admiring the magic of water heating. Suddenly, he showed a wry smile and sighed.

Originally, Su Yan was going to pay tribute to the beautiful clothes in his previous life and use them to dress up the talented women so that Auntie's brothel could become bigger and stronger and create glory again to dominate Xia Yu's brothel market.

As a result, Tailor Yu had Hua Yu wear the sample that night after sending it over. In the end, Sister Xier used a lamp to erase the sample of the pair of stockings.

The next day, Su Yan asked the tailor shop to mass produce some. It happened that the summer rain officially entered winter and it snowed. The talented woman took off her usual gorgeous dress and put on a fur coat.

"What kind of things are these? From making clothes to decorating the brothel and installing plumbing, I didn't make any money, and I spent hundreds of kilograms of spiritual stones on my aunt."

Su Yan covered his face with a look of laughter and tears, looking at the brand new brothel: "Or... just change the name of the brothel to Four Seasons Like Spring. Anyway, in winter, we can fill the pipes with hot water for heating, and in summer, we can fill the pipes with cold river water to achieve alternating cold and warm."

Su Yan really wants to make money now, because Su Yan is now a boarder in the brothel, and he originally ate and spent his aunt, which made Su Yan feel embarrassed.

In addition, my aunt really dotes on me, so Su Yan hopes that he can help out in the store, but there is really nothing for him to do in the store. The three monkeys take care of all the chores on weekdays, such as cleaning, which the talented women solve when opening or closing the store.

And these are not worth mentioning. My aunt seems to have nothing to lack, the only thing she lacks is money.

Therefore, Su Yan wants to earn more for my aunt, so as to honor her more. Otherwise, I always feel that I am just a person who is good at being cute and eating free food, which is a very subtle feeling.

Su Yan doesn't know where the feeling comes from, but it is really embarrassing to eat free food all day.

Maybe it's like the fairy tales I read in my previous life, animals know how to repay their gratitude.

………………

"What are you doing here?"

After my aunt paid the final payment to Lao Zhang, she jumped down from the building, came to the lobby, walked towards Su Yan, touched his head and asked him what he was doing here.

"Nothing, just thinking about how to make money." Su Yan looked back at his aunt, and said with embarrassment: "I've ruined your wallet again."

"Wow——"

The aunt was surprised and said with a smile: "Since you know that your wallet is bleeding like a sunflower, why are you still sitting here? Hurry up and help Nan Wu and the others!"

The brothel has now been renovated. Because of the little fox's trick, the brothel has an additional set of water heating. Now the temperature in the brothel is very comfortable, at least it is very suitable for human beings to live in it.

The aunt is naturally ready to reopen, and wrote invitations to those familiar ladies, inviting everyone to come to her brothel to see the little fox's tricks.
