Chapter 17 Wei Yan, brother of the same clan
In March of Yangchun, Wei Shi was working hard in Yushu Bay, making looms and building kilns. There was a lot of commotion. The news spread to Xinye City, and the Mi brothers and sisters finally couldn't bear it anymore.
On the day when the first clay bricks came out of the kiln, Mi Zhen and Mi Zhu asked Liu Bei for a team of troops to escort them. This time, the team was no longer led by Fu Wei, but by a soldier named Wei.
Hou, it is said, is also a Nanyang surname.
Under the guidance of Song Yuniang, Mi Zhu and his party came to the door with murderous intent.
The moment she saw Wei Shi, Mi Zhu's face was filled with anger, and her rich face was full of contempt.
It was agreed at the beginning that Wei Shi would donate the pedal spinning wheel to the Mi family for free in exchange for the support of the army. Later, Fu Wei took a group of soldiers to help Wei Shi solve the problem, but what was the result?
Wei Shi dared to break his promise, build a spinning wheel privately in the village, and even open a weaving workshop. This simply showed that Wei Shi did not take Mi Zhu seriously.
A country man dared to deceive him.
I really thought that Mi Zhu was easy to talk to and would not fall out.
Unlike Mi Zhu who was in a rage, Mi Zhen had a smile on her face. She was wearing a well-fitting underskirt with a delicate pattern of phoenixes embroidered on the hem, which made her look full of energy.
It is rare to go outing in the countryside of Xinye, the charm of Nanyang County's Feishui River, and the tall chimneys of the brick kilns at the entrance of Yushuwan Village gave Mi Zhen, who was born in Xuzhou, a different atmosphere.
"Zhenmei, do you think that person is Wei Shi? This guy thinks that just by giving him a piece of colorful linen, he can live up to his promise?" Mi Zhu saw Wei Shi as soon as he landed.
For a moment, Mi Zhu felt angry.
He was used to being in shopping malls for a long time, and he had never experienced any big deal, but he didn't expect that in the small town of Xinye, he would fall into the hands of a village man named Wei Shi.
"Brother, please calm down. My little sister will make a bet with you. Not only will you not be angry when you see Wei Shi later, you will also be overjoyed. Yu Niang, do you think so?"
Mi Zhen smiled, her beautiful eyes flickering, showing a proud look.
With Song Yuniang as a little traitor, Mi Zhen knew a lot about what Wei Shi was doing. She came here because she heard that Wei Shi had built a new type of loom, and she hid it like a treasure.
Do not let outsiders know.
Mi Zhen felt itchy when she thought of the phoenix and bird pattern on her skirt.
She couldn't help but want to see how a woman used a shuttle as a paintbrush to weave such lifelike patterns.
When Wei Shi heard the news that the Mi brothers and sisters had arrived, he quickly led Han Qiuyun to the ferry.
General Zuo and the emperor's uncle Liu Bei became the governor of Xinye. Mi Zhen, General Zuo's wife, was the mistress of the people of Xinye City and could not be offended.
"Madam, this is my wife. Her surname is Han and her name is Qiuyun. She is from Hanjiawan, Dengcheng. If you have any questions, my wife will answer them one by one if she wants to see the weaving workshop."
"Master Mi, I really had to force myself to do what happened before. I hope you can forgive me. If you are angry with me, take it out on me. By the way, Master Mi has seen this Gao Kiln before. It is terrible. Today's first kiln,
Three hundred pieces of good bricks were produced."
While Wei Shi held his hand towards Mi Zhu, he moved out of the way so that Mi Zhen could see the current situation of the brick kiln up close.
"Brother Wei...Brother, are these bricks really worth 300 yuan per kiln?" Mi Zhu was angry at first, but Wei Shi diverted her attention to the adobe bricks.
When Liu Bei came to Xinye, the first thing he did was inspect the city defenses. He found that Xinye City was in disrepair for a long time, and many rammed earth walls had collapsed. If it was not repaired properly, the city might be lost if Cao's cavalry attacked.
If we have these solid earth bricks, the collapsed areas can be built up. Look at how hard the bricks are. Not to mention arrows, even if they are slashed with a Huanshou knife, they will not damage the bricks and stones.
"It's absolutely true. If Master Mi doesn't believe it, he can send someone to do an inventory." Wei Shi smiled confidently.
"Brother Wei, do you want to sell this brick kiln?" Mi Zhu looked up and looked at the tall chimney, and couldn't help but have the idea of possessing it.
Wei Shi smiled lightly, shook his head and said: "Master Mi is joking, it's not that I don't want to sell it, but that the kiln is built in Yushu Bay and cannot be moved. If Master Mi wants bricks, he can sell them. If the price is
Easy to discuss."
"That's very good, very good. Brother Wei is extremely talented and has a lot of new things. Zhu was blind before." Mi Zhu looked ashamed and raised his hand to Wei Shi to express his apology.
Liu Bei wants to gain a foothold in Xinye, and defense is a top priority.
The biggest buyer of these adobe bricks made by Wei Shi was Liu Bei. As Uncle Liu's money bag, it was normal for Mi Zhu to be unable to move after seeing the bricks.
The misunderstanding between the two parties was resolved, and the remaining time became more harmonious.
"Brother Wei, is the kiln next to you used for blacksmithing? Is your skill inherited from your family, or did you learn it from an apprentice?"
While Wei Shi and Mi Zhu were talking, the red-faced Junhou Wei had already turned around and came back. After seeing Wei Shi, he asked about the iron kiln.
"Brother Wei, Zhu is here to introduce you. This is Wei Wenzhang Wei Yan, who is also from Nanyang. He happens to have the same surname as you. Haha... maybe to catch up on old times, you are still from the same clan."
Mi Zhu was in a good mood and immediately introduced him to Wei Shi.
"General Wei has admired Shi Youli for a long time. To be honest, General, Shi's skills were passed down from my father. Unfortunately, the skills are not clear, and my father died of illness a year ago, so..." Wei Shi cupped his hands and said politely.
Just now he saw this general of Liu Bei's army. He was tall, with a face as thick as a jujube, and a proud expression. With his surname Wei, Wei Shi had already guessed who this person was.
"Wei Shi's father's surname is Wei, and he is a blacksmith. Could it be that he is the elder of the clan?" Wei Yan was shocked. His family was originally a craftsman in Wancheng, Nanyang. Later, the Yellow Turbans broke out and the clan was separated. There are several people who have not been contacted yet.
.
After having the idea to explore Wei Shi's life experience, Wei Yan put down his airs and began to take the initiative to chat.
It is a pity that when Blacksmith Wei died, Wei Shi had not yet traveled through time and had only vague memories of the original owner. Wei Shi was not clear about the situation of the Wei family earlier.
When Mi Zhu and Wei Yan visited the kiln, Mi Zhen, accompanied by Han Qiuyun, saw the legendary shuttle loom. Song Yuniang got Mi Zhen's instructions and even operated the machine.
When she saw the colorful patterns gradually taking shape as the shuttle shuttle shuttled back and forth, Mi Zhen was as excited as an unmarried woman.
"Ms. Wei, I want this loom. Can you give me a price?"
Han Qiuyun looked reluctant to give up. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Madam wants it, but Qiuyun doesn't dare not give it. As for the price, my husband has said that I will treat it as an apology and won't charge any money."
Mi Zhen was startled.
Wei Shi and Han Qiuyun are a really strange couple.
Once I sent a copy of the pedal spinning wheel, and another time I sent the actual shuttle loom.
I don’t know what the purpose is behind this?
