Chapter 39
The sister and brother had not met Tie Feng directly and did not recognize him. Wang Ge first signaled his eldest father to talk to the salesman, but she did not let Ah Yang follow him. She stepped forward without replying to Tie Feng's question and ignored the other man's hand.
He rolled the lantern and asked, "Isn't Mr. Lang from the village?"
Tie Feng secretly praised: The young lady is quite cautious! "Does Wang Jiangtong recognize this kudzu lantern?"
"Ge Lantern? What's wrong?"
Tie Feng whispered: "By the Qinghe River, the mountains are high and the rivers are long. How can we know that we will never meet again? Wang Jiangtong does not need to be suspicious. My young master is Mr. Huan, and I am Huan's family. We and others were there that day."
Drinking horses by the river.”
Wang Ge remembered that there were indeed many songs at that time, and quickly bowed: "I'm sorry, Sir, please sit down and drink a bowl of water?"
"I won't bother you too much. It's like this. After exchanging tokens with your brother last night, my young master fell in love with this kind of kudzu lanterns. He has to buy a batch before noon the day after tomorrow. They must be of the same size, and there should be no extra kudzu lanterns.
Hemp candles, make sure the candle tray is clean." He took out a bunch of money from the cloth bag. Seeing Mrs. Wang's smile reaching her eyes, with a slight tear of gratitude, he raised his voice so that everyone in the courtyard could hear: "Everyone
I can buy a bamboo lantern for two yuan. Is this a price that Wang Jiangtong can accept?"
"Yes. Don't worry, Sir, I guarantee that every bamboo strip will be made of green bamboo strips." Wang Ge was so happy that he turned back to look at his eldest father and the others.
Wang Weng said "wait a moment" to Feng Merchant and came over quickly.
Tie Feng bowed to the old man, handed out the string of money, and said: "Old man, this is two hundred deposits, you count them." He then looked at Wang Ge, "I will come to pick up the goods at noon the day after tomorrow. Can you make it?"
No matter how much you pay, my young master will buy as much as you want. The more you pay, the more you pay, the less you pay."
"Don't worry, Sir, I will hurry up and make it."
Wang Weng is slow to count money, but Tie Feng is not in a hurry.
Wang Ge called to his brother: "Bring two bamboo dragonflies here."
Wang Yun obeyed and obeyed. Wang Ge used a small fire to roast the sharp beaks of all bamboo dragonflies, and gently bent the beak downwards in a small arc. This change not only made the image of the dragonfly more lively, but also made the beak more lively.
It can be more secure when placed on your fingers or a wooden stick.
After his brother brought it, Wang Ge first raised one to Tie Feng with both hands.
Tie Feng looked at the bamboo dragonfly made of several bamboo pieces and didn't dislike it. This was the brother and sister's wish. Didn't you see that Mrs. Wang was so solemn and gave him one by one...
Under the polite smile of the other party, Wang Ge casually placed the bamboo dragonfly on the tip of his index finger. The bamboo dragonfly was suspended in the air like a drop of water, hanging steadily.
Tie Feng's smiling mouth was open like this, almost drooling before he closed it.
The salesman came over in two steps with bright eyes: "Wang Jiangtong, I'll take this!"
To the west of the village, on a brand-new road paved with mature soil, rural soldiers drove donkeys and livestock to pull stone rollers, rolling the soft road surface back and forth. Then every two ministers were in groups, facing each other, holding the handle of the iron tamping tool, and exerting force
Lift it up and pound it down hard to make the soil layer tighter.
This is just the first time of tamping. As the mellow soil is laid, more and more ministers have to join in the tamping work. They do it over and over again, and eventually the entire new road is as hard as bricks.
Stone. Ripe soil roads that have been strictly tamped will not grow weeds, will not be washed away by rain, will not be crushed by heavy carriages and horses, and can be used normally for at least ten or even decades.
Huan Zhen could hear the sound of pounding earth in the toilet a little further away.
Cheng Shuang squatted outside, and the haystack spread in front of him was the demolished hut roof. He carefully pulled it, not to mention the bowstring, and there was a hidden needle in it. He probably found it all. "Huan Zhen,
Did you find anything?" he shouted.
"No." Huan Zhen replied. The roof of the shed was empty, with bright sunlight shining through. A total of three pits and cesspools had been cleaned. There were a few drops of blood on the ground, and they were surrounded by earthen walls that were slightly taller than a person. Nothing could be found.
Where have we passed? What clues can we miss? Even the cobwebs coiled under the corner are clearly visible.
The cobweb was still quite complete. Huan Zhen tilted his head slightly and stretched out his feet to break it. After thinking too much, there was nothing underneath. He came out with his hands, and Cheng Shuang shook his head.
The two returned to Khufu's morgue, where Ren Suzhi and Shan Ying were already fuming. Cheng Shuang joined in, and the three of them cursed, but Huan Zhen still refused to give up. He looked down at Khufu's body and suddenly asked: "
Has anyone searched for him?"
Shan Ying: "The first thing I searched for was this feces corpse. I cleaned all the ears and eyes, except for the posterior orifices..."
Following his words, Ren Suzhi and him came forward and turned over the body.
Huan Zhen turned his back in disgust, and after a few breaths, Ren Suzhi laughed loudly: "Found it! Haha, this thief servant really knows how to find a place..." As soon as the excitement of happiness passed, he was immediately vomited.
.
Half an hour later, Xiangzheng arrived and severely punished Ren Suzhi and several soldiers who wanted to steal the pavilion.
Huan Zhen was left alone for the time being. He was balancing the bamboo dragonfly, explaining to Tie Feng and Tie Lei: "This bamboo dragonfly can not only be suspended in the air by placing it on your fingertips, but can be placed anywhere that can support its sharp beak."
The way its whole body hangs in the air actually takes advantage of human vision. The center point of the entire dragonfly's weight is at the tip! The weight around this position is all equal, which is the trick to stabilize the dragonfly."
After Tie Lei realized this, he praised: "Huan Lang is so knowledgeable that he can figure out such truths."
"I was able to figure out the reason after seeing this thing. Mrs. Wang first figured out the reason and then figured out the thing. The order is reversed, what a difference. Are you sure she is the first-class craftsman who passed the exam this time?"
Tie Feng replied: "Yes. I asked several villagers to confirm. The strange thing is that the village officials came to Jiashe Village specially and rewarded Wang Hu with a lot of money on the grounds that Mrs. Wang passed the examination as a first-class craftsman.
."
"Even if she was admitted to the first-class craftsmanship, there was no precedent for receiving any reward. I understand, it was my good uncle who rewarded me. Calculating the time, the time when the fire seal and the fire extinguishing hose appeared was the time when the carpenters were in Qinghe Village every day.
Time for the exam."
"Then do we still need to find Mrs. Wang to buy some bamboo dragonflies?" Tie Lei asked.
"No. If a tree is as beautiful as a tree in the forest, the wind will destroy it; if your behavior is higher than that of others, the public will reject it. She is only ten years old, so you can't praise her too highly."
Tie Lei scratched his nose: Huan Lang, have you forgotten that you are only twelve years old?
Tie Feng: "Yes. The Wang family is an ordinary farmer. If they suddenly become rich, they will definitely attract the jealousy of others."
Huan Zhen smiled nonchalantly: "That's the next best thing. Only when a person is in a difficult situation can she constantly use her mind to survive, showing her unique talent for craftsmanship. I really want to see, in addition to fire folding pieces, water tubes, and rolling
Lamps, bamboo dragonflies, what other interesting utensils can she tinker with."
"Huan Lang, look, that man is the salesman who was at Wang's house just now." Tie Feng pointed to the distance.
Huan Zhen followed the pointer and looked over.
Shopkeeper Feng came to stay at the construction site. He ordered fifty bamboo dragonflies at once, and wanted to wait for the bamboo food boxes and bamboo curtain mats that Wang Jiangtong mentioned, so he came here with his mule. Linshui Pavilion
The soldiers in the pavilion often encountered the problem of the salesman staying in the house, so he did not make it difficult for the other party and allowed the salesman to stay in the soldier's hut.
As for Wang Ge, those six rolling lanterns must not be sold to the salesman. She took off the ones with the lids and replaced them with new ones. In this case, there are still ninety-four left. From now on, she will only work
For this batch of lantern rolling work, I taught my eldest father the balancing principle of bamboo and dragonflies, and my eldest father took care of the work of the salesman.
Wang Peng and Wang Yun were not idle either. The two children cut the hemp rope into sections for later use.
As long as Wang Dalang is optimistic about Wang Ai.
Wang Ge made a plan, and while it was still bright, he cut bamboo strips and prepared all the materials. Linshui Pavilion patrolled the night every night, and did not dare to turn off the stove at midnight, but it should not matter at Haishi, and the fire would be lit by then.
It is easier to just tie the hemp rope to the bamboo hoop. My eldest mother, my second uncle, and my younger sister A Shu can all help me do it.
