Chen Yue didn't know Ding Er's attempt to become a disciple, but it was probably related to the kang. When repairing the kang, Chen Yue came up with a complete model. He only gave some instructions on the construction process, and the rest were operated by three people himself. Moreover, Ding Er is one of the craftsmen that the Zhang family values ​​more, and it is impossible for him not to learn how to repair the kang.

If it is a recipe for Sanheyuan, that's not right. The three raw materials are placed there and everyone can see them. They can test them by themselves, which is cheap.

However, Chen Yue believed that it would not take long to know Ding Er's attempt to become a disciple. The other party abandoned his face to become a disciple, which should not be covered up.

"You are so anxious and running over, is there anything else?" Chen Yue turned and moved outside the door and asked Ding Er who was sweeping the floor.

Ding Er did not stop cleaning, but just casually: "Report to the master..."

"Don't shout like that." Chen Yue quickly stopped the other party's name and said formally, "The title of master is not needed for the time being. If you want, call me Master Chen."

When Chen Yue went from inside the house to outside the house, he kept observing Ding Er's movements and expressions, and found that the other party's movements and random expressions were in a simple and honest manner, so he kept thinking about the question of title. The words "Master" and "Master" must not be used, and the Master cannot be used, and it is not possible to call the teacher, which makes him call him older.

Finally, I thought of a word with a teacher after the surname. This word may also contain the meaning of respect or teacher at present. In later generations, it is a verbal word for ordinary people to greet strangers or others when asking for directions or asking questions, and only has a little respect.

"Yes." Ding Er replied, and continued, "After dawn, I went to check the kang and found that it was very solid, so I wanted to ask Master Chen to check whether it could be fired for trial."

The fire trial was what Chen Yue said when the construction was completed last night.

Ding Er just went to the side of the kang to check it out briefly. The reason why he hurried to Chen Yue's room was that he secretly brought some Sanhe soil home last night. After dawn, he found that its adhesion and strength were very reliable, far better than the clay and straw he usually used.

"Let's go and have a look." Chen Yue was not sure before. He heard Ding Er talk about it, and he also wanted to see the actual finished product.

"Okay." Ding Er dropped his broom, ran out quickly, and walked to the front to lead Chen Yue.

Chen Yue turned around and saw the broom thrown on the ground in the house, the charcoal ash that had not been swept, and the smoke and dust that had not yet fallen, and shook his head helplessly.

"Ding Er, do you know the second manager named Zhang Yuan and the fifth manager?" Chen Yue asked while he was moving.

"I know, I heard that Manager Zhang didn't have the surname Zhang, but later he changed his surname to Zhang's family..."

In Ding Er's introduction with obvious bias, Chen Yue roughly sorted out the situation.

It is still unclear what Zhang Yuan’s specific surname is. He must have joined the Zhang family at the age of twelve or thirteen. He has always been responsible for serving Zhang Pengzu. He usually flatters his superiors and is very harsh to his subordinates.

After Zhang Pengzu was adopted by Zhang He, Zhang Yuan also accompanied him to Zhang He's branch. Of course, Zhang He and Zhang Anshi were separated from each other and did not divide the property. They both lived in the same compound, and all the assets were basically shared. According to the entire Zhang family, Zhang Pengzu could only be ranked No. 5, with his own father, stepfather, and two brothers.

A few years ago, Zhang Yuan became a manager, and the Zhang family currently has five internal managers, serving two generations of five members of the Zhang family. In fact, except for two big managers who are in parallel, the Zhang family only has one manager. There is no difference between two, three, and four managers, but it is just what the servants add to them in order to distinguish them.

Zhang Pengzu happened to be ranked fifth in the family, so Zhang Yuan was named the fifth manager, but Zhang He had only two managers in the family, so the servants who were arranged to serve Zhang He's branch called him the second manager. In Ding Er's words, Zhang Yuan asked those servants to be called the second manager.

From Ding Er's explanation, Chen Yue also learned a detail, that is, the mansion is rumored to add a large manager, mainly an old servant responsible for serving Zhang He, and Zhang Chong, who is also one of the two major managers. In the past two years, he has only been responsible for serving Zhang He and has not managed the affairs of the family. The matter has been rumored for a month or two, and Zhang Chong has not stepped down from the major manager, but Zhang Yuan, who has been in charge of the work, has not taken office. Recently, he heard that there is someone else in the major manager.

This is very obvious, why Zhang Yuan is so hostile to Chen Yue?

Liu Bingyi and Zhang Pengzu had both communicated before that the Zhang family had a large village, and Chen Yue might need to manage it in the future. Since they wanted to manage it, they must have positions and powers, and a manager must be indispensable. Moreover, due to age, the Zhang family might intend to let Chen Yue be the manager.

A capable man who invented a waterwheel, a new plow, and improved planting and increased income, is an ordinary civilian. Unless he is short-sighted and does not win over any big family, he will definitely give him jobs and power after accepting it. Therefore, Zhang Pengzu and Chen Yue have a relationship, not only for Liu Bingyi, but also for his ability.

When approaching Zhang Pengzu's inner house, Ding Er kept silent about Zhang Yuan, but shouted that the servants would give way to Chen Yue. However, Chen Yue stopped him from pretending to be a tiger's power in time.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, Mr. Chen is here." After stepping into the inner house, Ding Er became a shouting person again.

Zhang Pengzu's inner house is more than 100 square meters, and there are only more than ten people inside at this time. He stands loosely and looks very empty.

Ding Er's shouting was not blocking him, but to show that he was coming, he brought Chen Yue with him.

When the servants heard the shouts, some looked down at Ding Er and some were dissatisfied with dissatisfaction, and some were sneering, but no one touched his feet, because there was no need to touch them, and they were not under Ding Er's jurisdiction, and no one obeyed them. Besides, they were just doing odd jobs, and they were just waiting to see if they wanted to repair or change to another place to repair.

Unlike the servants in charge of doing odd jobs, the two craftsmen who checked the new kang in the house. After hearing the shouts, they put down the tools in their hands and ran out hurriedly.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! They both frowned when they saw Ding Er showing off his might in front of Chen Yue, and then naturally walked around Ding Er and walked towards Chen Yue, saying politely: "Chen Xiaolangjun, we have checked the structure of the new kang. As expected, as Xiaolangjun said yesterday, it is very solid."

Before Chen Yue could speak, Ding Er said first: "Then you should tell me, can Master Chen's skills be fake?"

The two craftsmen looked at Ding Er with dissatisfaction and were about to speak again, but Ding Er took the lead.

He said proudly to the two craftsmen: "What's more, I have reported the matter to Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen is here to try to catch a fire. You can prepare the materials quickly, and you have to prepare them enough. The right general's back house needs to ask someone to report it. If something goes wrong, you will know the consequences."

After saying that, he ignored the expressions of the two craftsmen and turned to Chen Yue and said, "Sir Chen, do you think my arrangements are appropriate?"

Chen Yue decided not to give Ding Er face. The other party didn't give him a single advantage. He didn't tell him about stealing the show, but he also made a decision for me. Anyway, after the repair, he would leave. After making up his mind, he spoke, "There is no big problem."

Ding Er was secretly happy, and his smile just came to his face, but he heard Chen Yue say, "You wait for three of you to check the kang, collect other materials, inform them of the arrangements, and leave them to do it."

When Chen Yue said others, he pointed to those servants who were doing odd jobs, and said to the servants, "Collection of materials for repairing kangs and inform the relevant managers. Half an hour, no, in one hour, we will go to the right general's bedroom to repair kangs, and ask the female family in the house to leave as soon as possible. By the way, I also inform Peng Zulangjun to come to his bedroom."

Chen Yue couldn't control these servants, and the three craftsmen had no power. Therefore, Chen Yue just notified them to find the manager, and Ding Er asked the two craftsmen to do it just now, and he also used the two as servants.

Among the servants, some people replied to "No", some nodded, and some left.

Afterwards, Chen Yue took the lead in walking into Zhang Pengzu's bedroom regardless of Ding Er's embarrassing expression.

The two craftsmen glanced at Ding Er and followed him in.

Ding Er's face changed several times after changing red, black, blue, and purple, and then returned to normal before he stepped forward.

Chen Yue didn't know whether the Sanhe Tu was firm. After entering the house, he saw the two-meter-wide and six or seven-meter-long kang. He first thought about how many wives he would have to marry to sleep well. Then, he pushed with his hands regardless of Bingliang, and found that it was not moving at all. He picked up the wood beside him, found a piece of linen on the kang, and hit it hard, but found that there was no problem.

Since there is no problem, Chen Yue is going to light the fire and try out the overall temperature balance of the kang. It cannot be hot and cool.

Just as he was about to call everyone out, Zhang Pengzu's voice came in: "A Yue, are you there?"

Chen Yue was about to answer, but Zhang Pengzu trotted in. Seeing Chen Yue was smiling at him, he spoke, "A Yue, how about this kang?"

"Solid." Chen Yue had not tried the temperature yet, so he could only say it was strong.

"It looks good, so good." Zhang Pengzu avoided the point again. He also said to Chen Yue with satisfaction, "It looks much better than your family and the ones who are already sick."

Chen Yue was speechless, just pasted a few bricks and stones on the surface, just like that. If he pasted marble or ceramic tiles, he wouldn't be able to go to heaven.

Zhang Pengzu wanted to touch it, but was blocked by Chen Yue. The surface was too cold. After explaining, he took everyone to the kang to light the fire.

Because Zhang Pengzu asked that the bed should be large, Chen Yue opened three inlets, namely the place where oxygen was poured into the fire, with seven or eight inlets, all at the bottom, and only two cigarette outlets on the top, but they all went through the chimney. In order to avoid backflow of rain and snow, Chen Yue still covered it.

Chen Yue didn't make charcoal for the Zhang family. The big families used their own charcoal for many years. Although it was not as good as Chen Yue's, it was pretty good.

After adding charcoal to burn, the kang became obviously warmer in about ten minutes.

Because the kang is too big, Chen Yue could not estimate the amount of charcoal, so he had to tell Zhang Pengzu that it would be best not to sleep on this kang tonight, and find someone to experiment with how much charcoal fire can maintain a suitable sleep temperature. After that, there must be certain standards for how much to increase or decrease when the weather becomes colder or warmer.

At the same time, Chen Yue also quietly told Zhang Pengzu that it is best to build a house at the entrance and exit and lock it. The servant who adds charcoal must be his closest person. If the servant who adds charcoal is sick or has something to come, it is best to add it yourself to avoid being framed by others.
