Chapter 579: Goodbye Cheng Chumo
"Ah...snee...ah...snee..."
"Isn't you okay?"
"Well, it's okay. Maybe someone misses me... Let's talk about the main business first, how is the expansion progress of the smelting workshop?"
Xi Yunfei took out a printed tissue and wiped his nose. It was impossible for this kind of weather to catch a cold, maybe there was dust in the air.
Just as he was thinking, Wang Huai on the opposite side took out his notebook and said, "Because ten smelting workshops were expanded at the same time, a shortage of staff is inevitable. I have communicated with my family and asked them to draw craftsmen from several other states. It is estimated that it will take half a month to get there at the earliest."
"Yes." Xi Yunfei poured a cup of hot tea and waited for the following.
Wang Huai turned the next page and continued: "The most troublesome thing at present is the mining of iron ore. Although there are enough people who mine the mine, the mining progress has not improved much."
Xi Yunfei took a sip of hot tea and frowned and said, "Do you know what's the reason?"
Wang Huai nodded and said helplessly: "The surface of iron ore is easy to mine, but when it comes to the middle, large huge rocks will frequently appear. Ordinary stones can still find the focus point to decompose them, but too big stones can only give up. If this delays the mining progress, it will naturally not be fast."
Xi Yunfei was stunned: "Why should I give up?"
"What can I do if I don't give up? The hammer cannot be smashed and the chisel cannot be pried. You didn't go to the scene to see it. The stone is bigger than this room, and I can't do anything at all."
Although he was complaining, Wang Huai's eyes never left Xi Yunfei.
Xi Yunfei glanced at him, nodded thoughtfully, and then said in a narrow voice: "You kid, aren't you interested in my thunder?"
"Hehe." Seeing that his thoughts were seen through, Wang Huai was not shy and said bluntly: "Langjun, it's a clever secret that only thunder can break the stone. Think about it, if we delay every time we encounter a huge rock, how could the mining progress be faster?"
Xi Yunfei thought for a moment and replied in agreement: "I can provide the thunder that explodes the mountain, but if someone is targeted!"
"No." Wang Huai hurriedly stated, "Mr. Lang can send people from the Guardian Team to supervise on-site. My idea is this... When we need Tianlei, go to the Guardian Center to report directly. The Guardian Center notify you here. After your consent, the Guardian Team will take Tianlei to help. As for Tianlei, we will not take care of it. What do you think?"
When Xi Yunfei heard that he had even had a plan, he nodded without comment: "Okay, I will arrange for special people to connect with this matter when you need it. Just go to him directly. However, there is one thing you must remember, the power of heavenly thunder is extraordinary. When you blow up stones, you should at least hide as far as possible. Otherwise, if you hurt people, don't blame me for not reminding you."
Wang Huai didn't expect Xi Yunfei to agree so simply, and stood up with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Lang, who doesn't know that the power of the sky thunder is unshakable? Don't say whether I would remind you or not, even if I don't say it, they would be scared far away."
Xi Yunfei smiled speechlessly: "That's it. Take the smelting workshop quickly. Whether it is a hydropower station or a new village that has started construction, it requires a lot of steel and cement. You Wang and Cui don't lose their chains."
Wang Huai smiled and bowed: "Don't worry, my husband, I'll urge my father and second uncle now."
"Um!"
After Wang Huai left, Xi Yunfei took out his black iron token and took a look.
"It's still early, go to Shuofang West City to find Ziyi..."
·······
······
At the same time, the south gate of Shuofang East City.
"Damn it, why is the No. 97 feed so expensive?"
"It's a little expensive, but my little yellow puppy eats with relish, and the money is worth it."
"Qin Huai said, how much money do you have, you can't spend it like this. Also, your horse is just your father's yellow horse and ordinary horseman. Don't talk about a little yellow horse, it's not as fast as my black feet."
"Tsk, your black foot will sprint faster in a short distance. If it weren't for waiting for you along the way, we would have arrived in Shuofang long ago."
"Okay, OK, don't mess around with you two. Hurry up and eat something to go to the city garrison to report to General Li. We have been delaying for a few days."
"Hey, Yuchi Xiaohei, you have the nerve to say that we are, who is staying in Baishi City and not leaving?"
"I, you know what a fool. General Chai invited me warmly. Can we juniors refuse? You have the nerve to refuse..."
Along the way, there were no less than six or seven small restaurants at the city gate, and the most dazzling one had a sign with a word "seed" hanging outside the eaves.
Cheng Chumo, who was fighting with Yuchi Baolin, was stunned for a while, and then pulled everyone directly into the diner.
The area of the wine shop is not large. There are more than a dozen round tables on the lobby on the first floor. Two servants are cleaning up the mess left by the guests in front of them.
Seeing a guest coming in, the shopkeeper of the restaurant hurriedly came out.
After only a few steps, the shopkeeper suddenly opened his mouth wide, looked at Cheng Chumo with a curious look, and said in surprise: "Are you, the young master of the Cheng family?"
When Cheng Chumo saw the old man as if he knew him, he nodded: "That's right, but, old man, have you seen me?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "I didn't expect it to be you. I, you may not remember it. When I was in Xiagou Village, I led a horse for you."
"Xiagou Village?" Cheng Chumo frowned slightly, and then said incredibly: "Is the old man also a villager of Xiagou Village?"
The shopkeeper first bowed respectfully to Cheng Chumo and his party, and then replied: "Yes, old man, I was responsible for helping my Erlang feed horses. You are so kind of forgot about it, but old man, I am deeply impressed by you. Of course, there are those two little ladies, oh no, the wife of the Li family is now the little wife of our village..."
Cheng Chumo and his group were stunned when they heard this. Unexpectedly, this old man was not simple in his identity, but he was still the famous Xiagou Village villagers. You should know that the people in the entire Tang Dynasty envy the most is these people.
After listening to his story, Cheng Chumo realized that he was in a panic in Xijiazhuang and couldn't sit still, so he came out to open a restaurant. He didn't want to make money, so he thought that he had something to do when he was old, but he didn't expect that the business was pretty good.
When Cheng Chumo saw the old man's kindness, he asked everyone to have dinner here at noon.
After sitting down, the old man, who was the shopkeeper, hurriedly called the kitchen to serve the food, and they didn't have to worry about anything they had to eat. Soon the table was delicious, and they saliva was pouring.
"I have heard that Shuofang's food is the best in the world, but it turns out to be extraordinary when I see it today."
"Hehe, you're so lonely, my sister wrote to me that the first delicious food in Shuofang is in Xijiazhuang, the second delicious food is in Hualou, and the third delicious food is the He family restaurant. This is just a small restaurant at the gate of the city."
Although they said this, they were not polite. They simply wiped their hands with a wet towel and were too lazy to use their chopsticks. They reached out to grab the food. Soon, the delicious table was snatched away.
The shopkeeper looked at him with a smile, as if he was watching his children having a meal. Seeing that the food was gone, he hurriedly asked the kitchen to serve another table.
"Haha, you can eat as long as you eat. Since you are my Erlang's friend, I will be full of old man today."
Cheng Chumo was licking the soup on his hands, and he heard this and shook his head quickly, "How can that be done? It's not easy for you to do business, so we'll give it to you as much as possible..."
"Hahahahaha!"
As he was talking, a hearty laugh suddenly came from the door, and then a person who made Cheng Chumo almost bite his finger walked in.
"Brother-in-law, it's not that I look down on you. Lao Zhang's food is famous for Shuofang. I'm afraid you don't have enough money!"
