Chapter 5 Honeycomb

The cinders were covered with the yard. Before the laying, I specifically told Uncle Gui that the large cinders must be broken. Then I personally guided him to lay a layer of cinders and crush them with the largest stone mill on the farm. After three days, the entire project was finally completed. It was a soft and comfortable floor. As soon as people stepped on it, they could feel that the bottom of their feet did not want to be as hard as before. However, it did not rain in the following few days, so they could not test the water absorption characteristics of the cinders, which was a little depressed.

Uncle Gui had been walking around the yard for at least ten times, and kept tsk in his mouth. He was a little excited when he looked at me. I don’t know if he was tired of walking. Anyway, he was very excited, his face was very red, and he said with his lips trembling.

"Good thing, Uncle Gui has lived for most of his life. I have never seen such a good ground before. It is even flatter than the official road. Why not be as good as laying on the village?"

I nodded. Uncle Gui is very motivated. Although he is over fifty years old, he is very energetic. Yu'er said that he has not yet retired. Anyway, Uncle Gui's descendants will continue to work in the Ning family. Unless I am not satisfied and fired, there is no possibility of leaving the Ning family.

"Uncle Gui can do it, so please leave the family affairs to Uncle Gui. However, Uncle Gui should not be too busy."

Uncle Gui was excited and kept getting lucky. Before I could finish speaking, he bowed his hand and turned around and left. I hurriedly grabbed Uncle Gui.

"I'm not busy, there's something else. Uncle Gui, come, sit down and talk."

I pulled Uncle Gui to a banyan tree in the yard and sat on the exposed roots of the banyan tree.

"Uncle Gui, I have been here for so many years, and I don't have to hurry up. I have another important thing to get rid of Uncle Gui."

When I heard that there was something to explain, Uncle Gui immediately stood up and bowed to the side. How could he be so embarrassed? He is so old. I pulled Uncle Gui and sat on the root of the tree.

"No need to do this. Uncle Gui is also very hardworking and has made great contributions in our Ning family, so there is no need to be so restricted."

"That won't work. The master told me that it is my duty to stand with my hands. Dalang should not be confused."

Uncle Gui was about to start teaching me, but stopped immediately, and refused to accept the poison of feudal thought.

"Uncle Gui, be careful of the bird shit on your head."

"Oh, this is damn, let me pull you around, Dalang, wait for me to go up and bang!" Uncle Gui acted as if he wanted to climb a tree, and he grabbed it. He was still strong. It seemed that he was not lacking in calcium. Find an opportunity to ask Uncle Gui about the brand of high-calcium tablets he ate.

"Well, Uncle Gui, please ask for the road paving matter. Let's find out if there are any people selling carbonite in the county."

When Uncle Gui heard that his family was going to buy charcoal, he couldn't help but he hesitate. He looked at me and stopped talking. Yu'er put on a thin shirt. The temperature a thousand years ago was lower than in later generations. Although it was midsummer, he didn't feel stuffy when standing under the shade of the trees. Instead, the mountain wind blew, making people feel a little chill.

"This carbonite is so precious. Why do you want to buy carbonite?" Yu'er was a little reluctant when she heard that I wanted to buy carbonite. After all, she was still struggling on the line of food and clothing. Carbonite is too expensive and cannot be afforded by people like us.

"Haha, my wife is too worried. For her husband, she has to find a way to make her family have an extra input on the charcoal." Honeycomb coal, coal, lime, mud, and honeycomb coal stove. Hehe, when she was a child, many families in my grandmother's village were still burning honeycomb coal, nine-hole, eleven-hole, and large honeycomb coal tools. The structure is also very simple. I just don't know if I can do it in this era. I don't care, I'll get the coal first. If it really doesn't work, I'll do it manually. Anyway, there are people at home, so at worst I can give you more money for the New Year at the end of the year.

"Oh, what else can this charcoal do? What can Dalang do?" Uncle Gui asked quickly when he heard that there was an item of inclusion.

"Honeywoven coal! Use some carbonite, mix some lime, and the soil becomes, and a honeycomb coal does not use much carbonite." I explained a few simple words, but I didn't understand it even if I said too much.

"I haven't heard of honeycomb coal, how did you know?" Yu'er glanced at me maliciously. Since I invented the road of this cinder, Yu'er asked in detail how I knew that this cinder could be used like this. I tried my best to explain it clearly, but the honeycomb coal came again. I had to explain it with trouble.

"Haha, madam, you forgot. When I was in Chang'an, there was no ancient book at home, which recorded many incredible things. Have you read it, there is a record of honeycomb coal on it. Madam forgot?"

Bragging requires skills. The Ning family from Chang'an to Lingnan. Whether in terms of the distance and time span, Yu'er would not remember a small thing that happened in the study before. I looked at Yu'er trying hard to recall, hehe, think about it slowly, as time goes by, you have to admit that you have forgotten it.

"Oh, I don't remember, what about that book?" The meat show came, and I just had to wait for Yu'er to ask this question.

"Oh, in that situation at that time, Uncle Gui, you are also present. What other ancient books are there? My father's beloved calligraphy and paintings. Alas." I sighed and frowned, as if I recalled the tragic situation at that time. Yes, we were demoted, and we were almost fucked, and we still had a book to take care of.

"Oh..." Uncle Gui sighed and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Yu'er bit her lip and held back. It was done. This was the effect.

"Uncle Gui, go busy and let Uncle Li come over." Yu'er ordered.

Uncle Gui left the venue sadly, and I held Yu'er's hand and comforted her.

"Yu'er, it's okay. There will always be a comeback. Let's solve the problem of eating first. We must go back to Chang'an City."

It’s not that I like Chang'an, but I want to see what the legendary world looks like, and those dukes who have never met, the legendary Cheng Zhijie, Li Ji, and the great heroes.

Yu'er likes me so passionately, especially outside the house, Uncle Li sat on the root of the tree in front of the people in the village. After I asked to buy charcoal, I spread my hands and spit out two words in my mouth.

"No money!"

I was speechless. People traveled through time by princes, so why did I be demoted? I ate braised vegetables and had no oil and water. Do I have bad character? I also helped the blind old man cross the road. God, can I do it again?

"Uncle Li, don't you still have fifty coins in your account?" Yu'er was a family manager, and her family's background was very clear. I suspected that Uncle Li was corrupt and looked at Uncle Li viciously.

Uncle Li is about the same age as Uncle Gui. The only difference is that Uncle Li is relatively fat and dresses himself very noble. The huge piece of jade hanging on his belt and a brown satin gown is even more advanced than mine. There must be a problem. I don’t know how many fifty taels are left. The account is corrupt, and I’m afraid the car will be broken. I am a little perverted.

"Go back to the aunt, the fifty-talented tax was left by the old master for Dalang to go to Beijing for the exam. I gave him instructions. I could not use it unless I had to." Uncle Li replied in a humble and arrogant manner.

I understand, the old man left me the travel fee for going to Beijing to take the exam. It seems that the old man is still unforgettable about the miserable life in the capital. I, Ning Guangcheng, as a pioneer who travels through the times, will never be willing to fall into depravity. Hard work and simplicity are my style, and eating braised vegetables is my style. In short, the life of Chang'an that is rich and rich is definitely not suitable for me. Moreover, as the only successor of the Ning family, I have uncompromising control and ownership of these fifty pillars.

Uncle Li, as the financial director of Ning Group, I appreciate this upright character, but obeying the board of directors' resolutions is also the basic common sense of the financial director. So, Uncle Li, tomorrow you will go to the county to see how expensive this carbonite is and how much you can buy forty knots.

Inspired by my righteous words, Uncle Li finally realized what he had just made. After carrying out criticism and self-criticism, Uncle Li happily took me and the chairman of Ning Group to investigate the coal trend in the county.

Yu'er really couldn't hold it in. Uncle Li smiled and collapsed beside me as soon as he left the yard. Of course, I would not let my woman be exposed in broad daylight, so we entered the house and carefully studied and discussed the issues about human resources, especially the cultivation of the next generation of Ningshi Group's chairman candidates.
