Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 346 Made it
The topics of private conversation between girlfriends are actually not much purer than those between men. They are all like salted duck eggs, yellow and oily, from ancient times to the present.

When men chat with men, the most discussed are national affairs and women. After pointing the country with passionate words, the conversation turns to women, and even the temperament changes instantly.

From passionate to obscene, it usually only takes a second. The common point of the two is that whether they are talking about national affairs or women, their eyes emit a light that is absolutely not in normal times.

To put it nicely, this is called "the true colors of a hero". When talking about national affairs, you are a hero, and you are talking about women with your true colors.

To put it bluntly, this is the yearning for power and sex engraved in the genes.

In fact, the topics of conversation among women are similar, mostly things that are embarrassing to talk about.

And Li Qinzai invented a few items for women's personal use, which became taboo topics in Jinxiang's ears.

Jin Xiang was really shocked. She didn't expect a man to come up with new tricks on a woman's personal things. The mysterious man didn't care about his face at all. Probably only the woman who married him in front of him was talking about this topic. There's a proud look on your face.

What is there to be proud of?Are you not shy?

"What are you ashamed of! Husband only made it for me, but didn't sell it." Cui Jie rolled her eyes, then smiled, covered her mouth and said, "Actually... when I didn't marry my husband, he gave her a gift. I am also very shy about these little things like me, not only beat him up, but also called him shameless, a disciple..."

Jin Xiang deeply agrees, that's right, he is shameless and a disciple.

"Later, I secretly used it and found it really convenient, especially the... hood, which is close-fitting and comfortable. My husband really... understands women very well, otherwise I wouldn't be able to make this thing."

Cui Jie sighed in disappointment, and said: "Those years when my husband was ridiculous, it was not all fruitless."

Jin Xiang quickly glanced at Li Qinzai, who was busy on the construction site, and said softly, "That Qiao'er was born by your husband and another woman?"

"Yes, but Qiao'er is different. Husband and that woman... are also different. They should have a story. It's a pity that Husband said he doesn't remember. This story will probably never be known."

Jin Xiang's eyes flickered, he stared at Cui Jie for a long time, and smiled lightly: "I never thought that I could see Jie'er being so emotional for a man, what about that arrogant young lady from a family back then? I almost don't know you anymore .”

Cui Jie pinched her face and said: "When you marry a certain man in the future, you will also become like me."

Jin Xiang's eyes showed arrogance, and said: "Which man in the world is worthy of my deep trap?"

"If you haven't encountered it, it doesn't mean you don't have it."

Li Qinzai finally finished his work and came up from the construction site. Cui Jie rushed forward to meet him and took out a towel from his arms to wipe his sweat.

"What is my husband busy with? Well, why do you want to build a kiln all of a sudden?"

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "I don't know if I can make a new gadget. If it succeeds, it will be a good thing."

Jin Xiang couldn't help asking: "Is Uncle Li going to make a very powerful firearm again?"

Li Qinzai said vaguely, "It's not a firearm, nor is it powerful..."

Jin Xiang asked, "What is that?"

"Not worth mentioning, haha, not worth mentioning."

Speaking of which, Li Qinzai pulled Cui Jie aside, and whispered: "The new thing I made has a secret recipe, and it may be sold for money in the future. Our family's secret recipe should not be known to outsiders. You take your close friend back to another courtyard." ..."

Jin Xiang stomped his feet angrily: "Can you husband and wife go farther away when whispering? I heard it all!"

Li Qinzai was not embarrassed at all, he laughed and said, "I'm sorry, I must go farther next time, it's dirty and messy here, and the air is not good, why don't you two go shopping elsewhere?"

Cui Jie tugged at his sleeve and said angrily, "Husband...to save some face for others."

Jin Xiang was so angry that he turned around and walked away, angrily said: "Do you care about your secret recipe? Is my Teng Palace short of money?"

Li Qinzai was stunned.

Your own father was completely cheated by me, why is he not short of money?
…………

A few days later, five fire kilns were built. After several days of accumulation, the outside of the fire kilns was also piled up with limestone, clay, and iron slag sent from Chang'an Ministry of Industry.

Outside the fire kiln, hundreds of farmers looked at Li Qinzai eagerly, their eyes full of doubts.

What is this quirky kiln used for? The householders spent a lot of effort to build it, and they didn't know its purpose after it was built.

Of course, Li Qinzai did not explain. He just ordered limestone and clay to be fired in the kiln. As for the ratio of the two, the five kilns were divided into five different ratios, which was purely experimental.

One day later, the kiln mouth was opened, and Li Qinzai asked the farmers to cover their mouths and noses, and took some samples of the clinker from the five kilns.

After checking them one by one, Li Qinzai shook his head.

It all failed, and it really wasn't a matter of course. Li Qinzai still didn't know the reason whether it was a problem with the ratio or the temperature of the fuel was not enough.

After careful study and reflection, Li Qinzai rearranged the ratio of limestone to clay, ordered wood to be harvested, increased the temperature of the flame, and finally closed the kiln to continue calcination.

After another full day of firing, the kiln was opened again, and the farmers took out samples from the five kilns and placed them in front of Li Qinzai one by one.

Li Qinzai covered his mouth and nose, and observed the fineness of the samples closely.

Some of the colors are wrong, some are white, some are khaki.

The farmers surrounded them, they didn't understand the success or failure of the samples, they just stared at Li Qinzai's expression, and whispered in private.

"What the hell is Wu Shaolang burning..." the farmer murmured in confusion.

"What do you understand? Scholars have a very deep knowledge. I think these five kilns are not simple, and what they burn must be good things." An old farmer said authoritatively.

"We are illiterate, and it's normal if we don't understand. The disciples of Wu Shaolang are also around, and they don't seem to understand."

The old farmer squinted his eyes and said: "My disciple is not good enough in cultivation, and I haven't reached the level of Wu Shaolang. If you go to the Taoist temple to ask good and bad luck, will you find a little Taoist priest with a hairless mouth? Of course, you should find an old Taoist with a long beard. This is the one." reason."

While the farmers were discussing, Li Qinzai's face suddenly showed joy.

Samples from the last kiln, a delightful shade of gray.

That's right, it's this color!
Pick up a handful of samples and rub them between your fingers. It feels very smooth and the color is correct. However, this is still only clinker, not a finished product. It must be mixed with iron powder to be real cement.

"Come here, get some water and dry river sand." Li Qinzai raised his voice.

Water and river sand were delivered quickly.

Li Qinzai did it himself, mixed the cement and river sand with a shovel, added water, stirred, and evenly blended.

The more you play, the happier you are. In my previous life, I liked playing very much when I was a child. However, although the cost of cement is cheap, adults will not easily let children play with it.

So it became Li Qinzai's unattainable toy. Every time there were construction workers and cement, he would always squat beside him and watch it without sleep or food. It took him an hour or two to watch it, which was very fascinating.

Seeing the big process since childhood, Li Qinzai is extremely proficient, and the principle is like steaming steamed buns with noodles.

Hundreds of people gathered around eagerly, until now they still didn't know what Wu Shaolang had built, but judging from the joyful look on Wu Shaolang's face, the thing should have been successfully built.

After reconciling the cement, Li Qinzai skillfully put it into a bucket with a shovel, asked someone to find a flat piece of iron, and carried the bucket to the newly dug ditch nearby.

After selecting a small section, he evenly spread the reconciled cement on the surface of the ditch. Li Qinzai took two steps back to admire his masterpiece.

Yes, although it was his first time doing masonry work, the rich experience of watching countless times in his previous life made him do it with ease.

"Si!"

"The little guy is here."

"Send someone to watch this section, and don't let the children spoil it when they are playing." Li Qinzai ordered.

Liu Asi clasped his fists with a serious face: "The villain is waiting here personally, whoever dares to approach will be cut off by the villain!"

The scalps of the onlookers went numb, and they took a step back in unison.

Li Qinzai said embarrassingly: "It's not that serious, just don't let people step on it, and it will be done in a few hours."

Liu Asi didn't know what Li Qinzai had built, but he knew it must be something extraordinary. He had seen the magic arm bow, gunpowder and three-eyed blunderbuss with his own eyes, and he never dared to underestimate the things Li Qinzai made.

"Yes, the villain and the paoze have enclosed this place to prevent anyone from approaching."

His attitude was too serious, which made Li Qinzai a little uncomfortable, as if he was in the command post of the Chinese army, and he had just issued a military order to the generals that determined the survival of the entire army.

It's just cement, and Datang will use it in the future, so there's no need to be so serious.
