Chapter 15 She's crazy!

Shen Xiu'er was about to argue, but He Jin had already reached out and said, "Don't say anything about saving your life, you have already repayed it. Moreover, you would like to be fond of such kindness that hindered your reputation and integrity. You would like to never interact with me."

Shen Xiu'er's face became much more cautious. Although she knew that He Jin was very powerful, she didn't expect that he could see the truth so well. She couldn't help but smile and said, "That Yue'er is coming, can I follow you?"

"Yue'er is a servant, you are the master. She is asking for help. You can only let her come alone at most." He Jin smiled and said, "This excuse has no technical content."

Shen Xiuer was immediately discouraged and said unwillingly: "Then, why do you say, why am I here to find you?"

He Jin was stunned and was really stumped by this problem.

After thinking for a long time, he suddenly touched his not-so-slightly-looking face and said suspiciously: "Can you like me?"

The poor young lady of the Shen family finally failed to maintain her ladylike character. She was so angry that her pretty face turned red. She slapped the table and shouted: "He Jin, you toad want to eat swan meat!"

"What toads, what kind of swan meat to eat?... Why did you two children start to quarrel as they talk?" As soon as they finished speaking, Cui came in with a copper pot. Seeing the tense momentum of the two swords, he couldn't help but ask strangely.

Shen Xiu'er immediately felt panicked and wanted to say goodbye and leave.

However, He Jin waved his hand casually and said, "Mom, we didn't quarrel. He was talking about Liu Duan and Wang Maoming who wanted to marry his mother at the beginning, and it was like a toad who wanted to eat swan meat. Look, Miss Shen agreed very much, and she was so angry that she gritted her teeth..."

When Shen Xiuer heard this, she was stunned: He Jin, you are too... smart, you are just talking about this lie?

Cui's performance made Shen Xiuer even more open.

When she heard this, she couldn't help but get angry. She put down the copper pot, picked up the broom bump and started beating He Jin: "Boy, you can tease me about the past?!"

揍了几笤帚后,崔氏又交代何瑾道:“你在这里好生陪沈小姐聊些爱听的,我带月儿上街买些干果零食来.这家里来个人,都没像样的东西招待......”

As he said that, regardless of Yue'er, Cui pulled her away. Moreover, seeing that his steps were very light and he was in a very happy mood...

"Is this what you, mother and son usually get along with each other?"

Shen Xiu'er was shocked, her expression was the same as Chen Ming at the time: She never expected that He Jin, who was very smart, would be so pitiful at home...

He Jin looked like he was used to it and even said with some insight: "Well, we are in a strange stage of willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten. Perhaps, this pattern will change in the future, but it seems that this is probably what it is."

After saying that, he looked up again and said with a smile: "It seems that you don't want to talk about what you are doing to come to me. Since that's the case, then I'll tell you something serious..."

"What can you do?" Shen Xiuer was completely confused, not realizing that once she came in, her voice had been dominated by He Jin.

"It's a matter of cooperation to make money! At least, give me the 200 taels of silver in my arms first and find a reason to spend it."

As soon as he mentioned his topic, He Jin immediately seemed a little excited and then asked: "Is the Shen family's business a big deal? ........, restaurants, food trade, silk, and currency from north to south, right?"

Shen Xiu'er shivered in a reflex and asked vigilantly: "Do you want Jinhua ham again?"

He Jin suddenly looked depressed. Unexpectedly, he stimulated the girl so much last time. He quickly waved his hand and said, "What Jinhua ham is needed! This time, I am sending money to your Shen family. I have a good project in hand. I wonder if you Miss Shen is interested?"

“What project?”

"Hot kang!"

Speaking of this, He Jin was really excited: the middle of the Ming Dynasty was the Little Ice Age. Now that winter has just begun, two light snow has fallen, and the cold is biting.

For northerners, the thing of hot kang is simply a weapon for winter. Even in the mountains and rural areas of modern society, hot kangs are still common.

He Jin was not a bricklayer in his previous life, but he lived in the countryside as a child. He was very familiar with this thing and knew the basic principles.

It can be said that this Little Ice Age and the Kang, plus He Jin, is a perfect match made by heaven!

In fact, when he first came over, he woke up from the cold at night and shivered, and then he thought of a fire kang. But my mother at home was very strict and as soon as she opened her mouth, she got fried pork with bamboo shoots.

Now Shen Xiuer takes the initiative to come to the door, and God is giving her a chance!

I would question myself for being whimsical, but I can’t even beat Shen Xiuer together, right?

Once this happens, he will have warmth after the winter, and the silver notes in his arms will have a source of righteousness and openness.

The most important thing is that the Shen family has a big business. With such a partner, the things in their minds can be transformed into a continuous stream of wealth!

At this moment, Shen Xiu'er had not been able to keep up with He Jin's logic, and was in a state of being ignorant of the east, west, and north, and said blankly: "Kang?...that's not something that only royal craftsmen can do without teaching skills. How did you know?"

"It's not right... You obviously have something to ask for me. Then why were you so cautious, suspicious and aggressive when I first came?"

He Jin waved his hand and avoided the important and said lightly: "You have nothing to do to show your kindness, either a traitor or a thief. Of course I have to be careful of you."

"But one code is one code, and I do ask for you. Since you are unwilling to tell me about your own affairs, I will naturally mention my affairs."

"As for the craftsmanship of the kang, don't worry about it. In fact, this is not the unique craftsmanship of some royal craftsmen, but the Northeast...well, it is something that the people in Liaodong and Jiaodong regions have long invented."

He Jin frowned for a moment, too lazy to explain the history of the kang again, so he simply waved his hand and said brutally: "Anyway, I promise to understand the kang's craftsmanship and let our two families make a fortune. Just say it, are you interested?"

After all, Shen Xiu'er is the daughter of a merchant and has a keen sense of profit-seeking.

Seeing He Jin so confidently, she couldn't help but become interested, and didn't care that He Jin was rude and said, "You have to show the fact that the little woman convinces you."

He Jin smiled even more happily: "Or why don't you find someone to sell me a piece first? Miss Shen will not take it seriously by just a few bricklayers and some blue brick adobe, right?"

Shen Xiu'er blinked her bright eyes, and always felt that what happened today was strange: she was here to contact He Jin, which was so convenient for her to use in the future. Why did she feel like she was throwing herself into the trap after being angry?

However, the temptation of wealth could not be resisted by her. After some calculation, she nodded: "Okay, then I will believe you."

"Well, then you go find two masons. Remember, you must keep the secret."

As he said that, He Jin looked around the soil collapse bed in his house, glad that his family was poor and could not afford the wooden bed, and said, "This soil collapse can remove some adobe bricks, and it will be almost 50 adobe bricks. There are also blue bricks, which is almost 100 yuan... By the way, if there is bamboo, get one back."

As soon as he was told, Shen Xiu'er couldn't help but clench her fists again: Last time you treated me as a servant who bought Jinhua ham, and this time I just asked me to buy adobe, right?

My richest man in Cizhou, the eldest lady of the Shen family, will you be a good person to move adobe bricks and bricks?

Therefore, Shen Xiu'er couldn't help but sneer and said, "Mao bamboo is a thing in the south. In the middle of winter, you can really think of it!"

But He Jin didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in her words, but patted her head and said, "There is no bamboo, but there must be a chimney in the fire kang, right?...Oh, I'm really riding a donkey to find a donkey. What kind of bamboo is there in the territory of Cizhou? Just make a large hollow tube made of thick porcelain."

The reason why Cizhou is called Cizhou is that it is established in the tenth year of Kaihuang in the Sui Dynasty because it is rich in porcelain. By the Song Dynasty, the achievements of the Cizhou kiln system were no longer under the famous official kilns such as Ru, Guan, Ge, Ding, and Jun.

Although the Central Plains suffered severe damage after the Jin and Yuan dynasties. Fortunately, after the Ming Ding was unified, the Cizhou Kiln flourished again, which shone with Jingdezhen in Jiangxi in the south.

Compared with bamboo, the pipes made of coarse porcelain have great advantages in terms of firing resistance and price. It is most suitable to be used as chimneys.

But the problem is that He Jin doesn't know at all, and the point is not the chimney at all.

So, Shen Xiu'er exploded again, so angry that she couldn't help but stamp her feet. She pointed at He Jin and shouted: "Okay, He Jin, wait for me!"

"Well, go and go back soon... It's getting late, the afternoon is not good, and I have no place to sleep at night." Poor He Jin didn't realize that something was wrong with him until now.

Shen Xiuer was so angry that she didn't know how to vent her anger. She pushed He Jin hard and then walked out of the Shenjiayuan gate with a humming huff.

He Jin got up from the ground in confusion, looked at Shen Xiu'er's angrily twisted buttocks and couldn't help but say: "This woman, she's crazy..."
