Chapter 1986 Eavesdropping
You Ping and the others had already finished a meal of meat rice, took a comfortable bath, and slept for an hour. After learning that Gu Jinli and the others had packed their things, they took their things and set off.
After hearing this, Gu Jinli asked: "Why are you leaving so quickly? Didn't you let them rest for a night before leaving?"
Grandma Tao said: "I told them, but You Ping said that he was afraid that the adults would have something to say, so he didn't stay long. He also said that they just do this kind of work, and their life is too comfortable, which is not good."
After hearing this, Gu Jinli didn't say anything else. He just wanted to make more money so that when these subordinates get old, injured, or get married and retire, he can give them a stable and prosperous life.
Mommy, lets go and see how Uncle Lu and their brick kiln are doing.
After the New Year, Lao Lu took the lead in selecting a site to build a brick kiln.
As for Lao Lu, he dug two five-meter-long and one-meter-deep foundations in just two days. He also used the excavated clay to make hundreds of green embryos. He planned to build a small one-meter-long foundation after drying. Fire it in the brick kiln to see how the quality of the clay here is?
"If the clay is not good, the bricks made will not be good. Even experienced masters can't do anything about it." Lao Lu told the truth: "Madam, the clay in our health center is a bit bad. If we want to make good bricks, For blue bricks, I guess I have to buy clay from outside, but if I buy clay, the cost will increase, and the relatives will earn less money."
Gu Jinli was also worried about this during the Chinese New Year, but she didn't worry about it now. She smiled and said to Lao Lu: "Uncle Lu, don't worry, you can just build the brick kiln. When the brick kiln is built, good clay will be available." "
Lao Lu was relieved when he saw Gu Jinli's confident face... The daughter-in-law chosen by Mr. Xiaohou would never speak big words on official matters. As long as she said it out loud, it would be alright.
Gu Jinli looked at Lao Lu's legs covered with dirt and said, "Uncle Lu, your legs and feet are not good. Just sit down and tell them to dig the foundation. You don't have to do it yourself."
Lao Lu said: "Even though this leg is lame, it doesn't delay your work. Madam, don't worry."
Then he said: "Madam, this place is dirty. You should go back quickly. After the green embryos are dry, you can bake the bricks. Then Madam will come over and take a look."
Gu Jinli nodded: "Okay, let's go first. Uncle Lu, if you need anything, just tell me and I'll have someone prepare it for you."
He then handed Lao Lu a bag and said, "It's dried beans and caramel. Uncle Lu takes it to eat. Eating candy can replenish your physical strength."
Lao Lu was stunned. He didn't expect that Gu Jinli would treat him like a child and give him something to eat. He looked at Grandma Yu.
Grandma Yu smiled and said: "Take it, our wife is delicious and likes to share food with others. We just had smoked fish."
After hearing this, Lao Lu accepted the bag and said, "Thank you, madam."
"No thanks, let's go." Gu Jinli waved his hand and took Aunt Tao and the others away. They went to the camp where the cassava was stored and had a look. After seeing that the cassava was well preserved, he returned to the house with confidence.
Uncle Cao attaches great importance to cassava. He reported it to Xu You on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, he took his troops and a batch of supplies to Duchonggou, met with General Jiang, and told him the matter straight to the point.
He asked again: "Did Qin Qianhu tell you?"
General Jiang said: "As I said, I asked General Wu to bring me a message as soon as I came back, saying that Uncle Cao wanted to exchange things for potato seeds."
He asked again: "Uncle Cao, do you really want potato seeds?"
Uncle Cao nodded: "Of course I want it. If I don't want it, I can't come and ask for it in person."
General Jiang: "In that case, I will tell Uncle Cao the ugly thing first. First, cassava is the ghost potato, which is poisonous. Although the toxin can be removed by soaking in water, there are always times when it cannot be completely removed. If your people are eaten to death, dont blame my generals.
"Secondly, it was Qin Gu who wanted to turn cassava into food and came up with the water soaking method to remove toxins from cassava. If cassava really becomes food in the future, the Qin family and his wife will have to share the credit, and you, the Cao family, can't take all of it. "
After hearing this, Uncle Cao asked tentatively: "General Jiang seems to admire Qin Qianhu very much?"
You actually helped the couple take the credit. Doesn't it mean that you didn't like Qin Sanlang very much before? General Jiang smiled and said: "That boy has made great achievements. No general who loves talent would not appreciate him."
It was because I didn't know whether Qin Sanlang was loyal to Lord Xu, and I didn't like Qin Sanlang's use of poison to stun Lemuqin and then behead him, so he made things difficult for him several times.
He then asked: "Uncle Cao, can you agree to the two conditions I just mentioned? If you agree, I will send someone to call him. You guys can talk and we will settle the matter today."
Du Chonggou is a place where wars are fought, but there is no time to discuss business all the time.
Uncle Cao nodded: "I agreed. Please ask the general to send someone to invite Qin Qianhu."
"Come here, ride a fast horse and invite Qin Qianhu!" General Jiang shouted towards the outside of the camp, and the soldiers outside the tent immediately rode on horseback to look for him.
Half an hour later, Qin Sanlang was brought.
General Jiang didn't waste any time and told him the matter. After he finished speaking, he asked him directly: "Do you want to do this business? How do you do it? Do you want money or things?"
Qin Sanlang was not ambiguous and said directly: "To do it, I want Cao's Zhuangzi in Qingniu Mountain."
Uncle Cao was shocked after hearing this. He held back his anger and asked, "How does Qin Qianhu know that the Cao family has a village in Qingniu Mountain?"
Have you checked the Cao family's property in the northwest?
Qin Sanlang said very openly: "Before the Chinese New Year, Chang Liang Wei had no water to drink. His family members looked around for wells to buy water. They found out that there was a well in Qingniu Mountain Village, but because it was my uncle's village, they didn't dare to go there. Excuse me, Ill go to Tangjiazhuangzi to buy water instead.
General Jiang agreed: "That's right. There is no well in their garrison yet."
He then asked, "How about it? Uncle Cao is willing to exchange it for the Zhuangzi from Qingniu Mountain?"
Uncle Cao looked at Qin Sanlang and said: "That village was damaged by the bandits. The houses were all burned down, and there were no crops in the fields. There is just a lot of clay, so it can be regarded as a clay village. If you don't bake bricks, you can at most Sell some clay to make money. How about you exchange it for something more valuable, such as a house or shop in Fucheng?"
"You don't need those, the Zhuangzi in Qingniu Mountain is very good." Qin Sanlang told Uncle Cao the truth: "There is a servant in my family who can bake green bricks. Our guard has discussed it with Dabu Guard and Yangshan Guard. After a while, I can use my time to bake green bricks and sell them to increase income for my family, so it would be best to change to Qingniu Mountain Villa."
You want to make green bricks to sell? Uncle Cao asked.
Qin Sanlang nodded: "Well, the soldiers' families are not rich. I happen to have servants with such skills in my family. My wife wants to do this business to make the soldiers' families rich."
He clasped his fists towards General Jiang again and said, "I didn't inform the general about this matter, so please forgive me."
General Jiang was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved his hand and said: "No need to apologize, this is a good thing... It is too hard to be a soldier now, and many soldiers' families do not have enough to eat. If this deal is completed, it will also make the soldiers' families more comfortable. .
General Jiang agreed to the deal, looked at Uncle Cao and said, "Uncle Cao, I want Zhuangzi in Qingniu Mountain. Please give me some love."
General Jiang said so, Uncle Cao could only agree: "It works."
And what they said was heard by Meng Hong outside.
Meng Hong was so angry that Qin Sanlang, a fool, why should he bake green bricks or porcelain with such a craftsman? Porcelain is so expensive, and it is much more profitable than green bricks!
