Section 463 The cook of the steel mill

The chef replied angrily: "Your stove-tips, the newcomer must first learn the rules. If you don't leave the yard for nine days, you will have time to eat day and night. Thank you for your hard work, you will have a big banquet. This is an iron rule, and it is a reward set by the Marquis. Where is this place? If you have money, you have nowhere to spend it."
"It's great." Liu An sat down: "Just give me a bowl of plain noodles. By the way, the rule that the Marquis is focused on is that if you work hard, you have to eat well. I didn't say that you won't leave the house for nine days and never stop day and night."
"Who are you?" The chef shouted loudly, and dozens of people holding knives and sticks surrounded him, and some people blew the whistle and the guards were alarmed.
Liu An sat down calmly: "Liu An, if nothing is wrong, I am the marquis you mentioned."
"Really? Show the brand."
Liu An has already reported his identity, and the chef is still very tough.
After revealing the brand, the chef's tone changed: "Since it's true, then the marquis eat something, vegetarian noodles, right? I'll make a bowl of marquis for the marquis and add two side dishes to the marquis, but not more. I heard that the marquis is a ruler."
"You are so good. Just a bowl of plain noodles, ask someone else to come, tell me the rules. By the way, I really haven't said that I never leave the house for nine days, and I will never stop day and night."
The chef sat down and another chef went to prepare the noodles.
"My name is Liu Tao. I am from the old master's family. We have cooks from all over the world. I can read, so I am the second manager of this kitchen."
"Uncle. My nephew is polite." Liu An stood up and gave a formal gift.
Liu Tao stood up and replied with a half salute: "Brother An, you are giving our parents face. If you have time, you will go back to the clan and give your ancestors a stick of incense. I said that these nine days have passed, so I said, don't scold people, you are the marquis, we are the people. Those in charge of the affairs are also the people."
"Uncle, just say it. Let me first talk about why I got here."
Liu Tao said it in a few words.
Liu An understood that Liu Tao was not flexible, so he lost money by running a restaurant in Shu, and was a chef and beat customers for others, and more than once.
I really couldn't make it anymore. I heard from the merchants in Shu that Liu Lang from my family was in Bianliang City, so I went to surrender.
A big clan is brother if he does not give out the five blessings.
Liu Lang invested money to help him open a small restaurant, which was in Xijing. As a result, within two months, he got into a lawsuit because of beating a customer. Liu Lang is now a person with status, so he didn't tell Liu An about such a small matter.
But when someone was sent to Xijing, the government said that the person who was beaten was not seriously injured, and even if he lost money, he would be exiled to the army.
In the end, Zhou Liang came forward and ordered an exile, and then brought it with him when he came to Mingzhou.
Don't know how to adapt, you are too straightforward.
It is definitely not OK to open a restaurant, but it is not appropriate to manage the kitchen in Mingzhou. In Liu Tao's eyes, the rules are iron. Whoever can bite the iron and swallow it, can ignore the rules.
Over time, this blunt management method has made the people in the steel shop in Mingzhou feel good.
Because fairness is the same for everyone.
Not to mention the craftsmen, even Zhou Liang, a big manager, still scolded Liu Tao, who was not in line with the rules.
Liu Tao was talking about Zhou Liang's arrival.
Zhou Liang gave a gift, and Liu An raised his hand to signal Zhou Liang to sit down.
Liu An's plain noodles also arrived. While eating, Liu An listened to Zhou Liang's explanation on behalf of Liu Tao that he did not leave the house for nine days and was endless day and night.
There was a cup of clear water in front of Zhou Liang, and there was no tea.
When Zhou Liang was about to say it, Liu An was about to say, "Zhou Liang, why don't you ask the kitchen to add two dishes to me?"
"I can't add it." Zhou Liang just smiled.
Zhou Liang knew that Liu An would not mind this, and Liu Tao, the second manager of the kitchen, did everything according to the rules, and wanted him to make things easier unless the sun rose from the west.
"It's okay, let's talk."
"Mr. Marquis, it's almost done. Since the craftsmen in each yard did not rest three months ago, I had no choice but to set the rule that there must be a one-day break in the nine days. If I don't leave the yard in the nine days, I will not set the rule that day and night. It was set by the master Gongshu. He said that he would do a thousand days and nights to respect the ancestors."
"Quick, is it successful?" Liu Anteng stood up suddenly: "You said, it's it almost successful."
"kindness."
"Go, I want to see."
"No." Liu Tao slapped the table: "No food or food should be wasted, violators..." After halfway through his words, Liu Tao was a little embarrassed and immediately changed his words: "Then I'll finish it."
Liu An sat down and said, "I will eat it and I will guarantee that I will not waste it."
He didn't chew it at all. Liu An drank a bowl of noodles into his stomach with swallowing, then pulled Zhou Liang and walked out.
It's almost successful, so how far is it to be successful?
Soon, Liu An saw a master with a bottle of water and wine standing in front of a high platform, with a steam engine in front of him. The machine was operating, lifting an iron basket with iron ingots contained in the iron basket.
After the height of the iron basket reached ten meters, the master stood up, and Wu Tie beside him also stood up.
The two of them didn't pay attention to whether someone was approaching. After a look at each other, the master ordered: "Add a hundred kilograms."
Ten more iron ingots were thrown into the basket.
Then it continued to add until the machine made a weird noise.
Zhou Liang said to Liu An, "There are nearly two thousand iron ingots in the iron basket, which is the weight of 200 stones. It is not too far from the 500 stones we planned to lift from a machine of five feet in size."
"Excellent." Liu An never expected that the steam engine would succeed like this.
This is not about to succeed, but it has already succeeded.
When the two thousand two hundred iron ingots were broken, the shaft of the steam engine was broken, and then the two masters noticed Liu An's existence.
After delivering his favor, Wu Tie stepped forward: "Mr. Marquis, we don't have enough money. This thing is too expensive."
“Yes, there is not enough money.”
"How much do you want?" Liu An didn't care about the money. As long as you dare to speak, even if you find a gold mine to dig immediately, Liu An could do it.
Wu Tie was still hesitating, and Gongshu master said, "Five millions of qians."
Liu An did not immediately respond, but said, "I'll draw a picture and you will make it for me. Five million coins are what you need, but not what you need immediately, right."
"Please draw a picture by the marquis."
Liu An drew a picture. This picture is very simple, it is a simple picture of a steam tractor. The wheels are iron, but the ground area is large.
After Liu An finished drawing, the wheels can be wooden wheels, but the wheels have transmissions.
"This thing is simple, much simpler than this cloud-swallowing beast. I will make it for you in fifteen days."
Gongshu Master did not even have the gift this time, so he took his apprentice and pulled Wu Tie away.
