Chapter 42 Turning the Table
Tao Jin felt nothing when he heard the words of Old Man Tan, and his heart sank. Because he knew in his heart that Yuchi Gong had gone to Tangying, the King of Qi was probably not as good as his life when he came back. Even if he hid here, he was just comforting himself. If he really wanted to find you, Chang'an was just such a big land, where could you go?
When Yuanbao entered the room again, he saw Tao Jin with his head hanging down and his face looked depressed.
"Young Master, what's wrong with you?" Yuanbao asked. Tao Jin rubbed his face with his hands, but did not express the pressure in his heart, but instead smiled reluctantly and said, "I haven't been to the valley for a long time to see my treasures. Let's go and see them together tomorrow!"
Yuanbao knew that Tao Jin was very precious to the things he grew, and also knew that Tao Jin said this, but he didn't want to say something, so he didn't force it. He just said, "That's fine, there is a small river over there, there are a lot of fish in the river, we can catch some fish to eat!"
Yuanbao picked up some relaxed topics and said it, Tao Jin just smiled, but didn't talk.
In the evening, Tao Jin packed the green bamboo wine, buried it, and went into the room. Before Tao Jin found a way out for himself, he had to come up with a solution before Li Yuanji came back, and he had to come up with a solution that Li Yuanji didn't care about taking care of him.
Although Tao Jin had no historical knowledge, there were still many popular unofficial history or TV series introducing the Tang Dynasty. Tao Jin knew that this time Li Yuanji and the others would be facing the battle of seizing the throne soon.
Tao Jin was not afraid of the struggle between them, he was afraid that before they could fight, he would sacrifice himself first.
After thinking about it, Tao Jin didn't come up with any solution, but came up with a bunch of useless things. After arrogance, Tao Jin thought to himself: The car must be on the way before the mountain. If the heaven really wanted to destroy me like this, it wouldn't have to work hard to get me here. Let's take a step first! Thinking about it, he tilted his head and entered his dream.
The moon's silver light spread to the room, Tao Jin turned over and fell asleep. Yuanbao mumbled while sleeping, but he didn't know what he was talking about.
No one thought that under the shadow of the moon, a black shadow flipped into the yard. The black shadow glanced around and entered Tao Jin's house.
The room was quiet. The black shadow did not enter the bedroom where Tao Jin and Yuanbao were sleeping, but went to the kitchen. I don’t know if I had encountered something, but with a "bang", the black shadow hurriedly opened the door and ran away.
Tao Jin and Yuanbao were both awakened by the sound. They rubbed their eyes and lit the light in the moonlight. Tao Jin held the lamp in his hand and went to the kitchen to see that a scoop he placed on the pot fell to the ground. Neither of them cared about it. They picked up the scoop and turned around and went into the room and continued to sleep.
The next morning, Yuanbao woke up and looked at Tao Jin who also woke up and said, "Young Master, I think there must be people coming in the room yesterday, because I seemed to hear the door ringing yesterday!"
Tao Jin recalled and said, "It seems that I heard it too, but we all saw it and nothing was lost. It was just that the water scoop fell to the ground!" Tao Jin woke up and said in a daze.
When the two of them decided to hear the sound of the door, it shouldn't be an auditory hallucination! They hurriedly put on their clothes and went to the kitchen to see it. The things in the kitchen were very regular, but the buns that Tao Jin asked Old Man Tan to sell with vegetables were less!
"It should be someone nearby. I was too hungry and came to steal some food. It was nothing!" Tao Jin saw that there was nothing important, so he said to himself very tolerantly.
"But young master, this thief can steal, why don't he steal the old man Tan's family?" Yuanbao asked some questions. After all, these two houses are next to each other, why only steal himself?
"Maybe I am acquaintance with Old Man Tan, so I'm afraid I will meet you!" Tao Jin thought about it and gave another explanation.
"Then can you go to that valley today?" Yuanbao asked hurriedly for fear that Tao Jin would not have the heart to go because he lost his thing.
In fact, Tao Jin was really out of mind at this time, because there was something lost in the suburbs and there was not even a yamen runner. He missed Chang'an City a little, and he had already figured out that some things could not be avoided.
After breakfast, Tao Jin brought Yuanbao and returned to Chang'an City with the old man Tan and his wife. When they arrived at the West Street Tavern where two floors had already built, Yuanbao covered his mouth in surprise and shouted: "Young Master, is this what you want them to build?"
In fact, it is no wonder that Yuanbao was surprised. He has never been there since he came with Old Man Tan and his wife that time. Now he is of course surprised to see this small building that has been built almost the same.
Tao Jin entered the small building. When Tan Yong heard the voice, he rushed over and shouted diligently: "Why does the boss have time today? Are you here again?" Because Tao Jin had never come before and had been here again these two days, Tan Yong couldn't help asking.
"This window can be completed today, right? This window has been completed, this building has been built, right?" Tao Jin said with a glance around.
"What's wrong? Now, if the table is set here, it will be open immediately!" Tan Yong said proudly because he knew that Tao Jin wanted to cook a restaurant here.
"You can cook a restaurant by putting it on the table?" Tao Jin murmured, and he was also calculating the accounts in his heart. If the house is built, it will be empty for one day, then it will be a day less money!
This Tang Dynasty house has no smell and there is no need to worry about formaldehyde poisoning. Why don’t you let them make all the tables and chairs together? Then, if you wait for the tables and chairs to be made by yourself, you can open them directly.
Speaking of these tables and chairs, Tao Jin also had his own ideas. In the Tang Dynasty, there were basically tables in all directions, with no fancy things and fewer people sitting. Tao Jin thought to make some useful things according to modern times, so he said to Tan Yong: "Call Master Lu, who is a carpenter, is here!"
Tao Jin asked Master Lu to do this because Master Lu was skillful. Tao Jin was afraid that what he said, and ordinary carpenters would not understand what he wanted, and they were afraid that they would not do it.
In a short while, Master Lu, who carved the beam of the house, was called to Tao Jin. He still looked calm. Master Lu was wearing something similar to an apron and covered in wood dandruff. When he saw Tao Jin, he bowed and said, "I have met my boss!" He did not have the pleasing attitude of Tan Yong at all.
"Master Lu is like this. I want to make something. I think I want to trouble you. Let's see if I can do it?" Tao Jin said politely without any arrogance.
Tao Jin sincerely admires anyone with real skills, no matter what he does.
"What kind of thing, tell me first!" Master Lu took out a pocket from his clothes, carefully put the tools in his hand, and then asked.
"I will cook a restaurant in this building in the future. I want to make some tables and chairs!" Tao Jin said simply. Yuanbao looked at everything in the building and shouted in surprise: "Is this true for the young master?" He interrupted what Tao Jin wanted to say.
Tao Jin nodded at Yuanbao, Yuanbao turned around to look at something else, full of excitement. Tao Jin looked at Master Lu again, and saw Master Lu with some impatient expression on his face and said, "Cat owners ask those people to do it, do I still have a job?"
Tao Jin understood this meaning, and it was said: You can find me any job! Tao Jin smiled slightly and said, "Master Lu, don't be anxious, what I want for this table and chair is not ordinary!" As he said that, Tao Jin grabbed a branch and gestured.
Master Lu looked over with impatient look, and then he fixed on the thing Tao Jin gestured.
Before Tao Jin could speak, Master Lu asked over there: "Boss, what does this table mean?" He looked very interested.
"This is a table, with a large table underneath, and a smaller one on top. This smaller one needs to be able to rotate, so that it is convenient, do you understand?" Tao Jin explained briefly, a modern rotating table.
"But how can this little guy be turned?" Master Lu changed his attitude just now and looked at Tao Jin with great enthusiasm and concentration and asked.
"Do you understand that the bottom of the table is made into the shape of gears for a moment, just one tooth and one tooth, and then make a round cover on it?" Tao Jin explained to Master Lu.
"What is a gear? What is a tooth? One tooth?" Master Lu asked very shamelessly at this time, and was very serious. Tao Jin knew that he was just saying that he could not explain it, so he squatted on the ground and gestured.
Fortunately, Master Lu was a very proficient carpenter. Seeing Tao Jin's gesture, he understood a little, so he asked, "You want this gear, one against the other, so that you can brick it down, and there is a round cover on it, so that the table will not lose balance and can be kept stable, right?"
Tao Jin nodded and said, "That's exactly what it means, do you understand?" Master Lu said with a smile on his face at this time, "I understand, but I didn't expect that this table could be made like this!"
"It's true that he is the master, you will understand it after saying this!" Tao Jin sighed. Master Lu smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the boss would have such wonderful ideas!"
Tao Jin also smiled and said tentatively: "If there is any better idea than this, would Master Lu be willing to do it for me?"
