Chapter 89 New Discovery
Xiao Zhizhong said and dealt with it. The packaging problem raised by Ma Gao and others should be solved. The packaging is secondly. This instruction is essential. If there is no instruction on using it, even if there is alcohol, people don’t know how to use it. Chen Wanrong has to think about this problem carefully.
It is not difficult to simply make a packaging, but it can be done by going to the Yinzifang directly. The problem is that it is difficult to achieve the exquisite packaging of soap. It is written by Wu Jing, and it is not comparable to the masters of the Yinzifang. If the font of alcohol cannot reach Wu Jing's level, no matter how others think Chen Wanrong doesn't know, he feels very regretful.
The key now is to find someone with such a foundation to design and write. The problem is that there is no such person. Chen Wanrong has to think about it carefully. If necessary, he has to go to Chang'an and discuss with Wu Jing.
In modern society, these are not problems. They use computers to design and use various fonts, and they are very exquisitely designed, but this is something that the Tang Dynasty could not do.
"I've met Storekeeper Chen." Zhao Xiaotian came over with a smile and clasped his fists at Chen Wanrong.
Chen Wanrong saw three strong men following him, probably the escorts from the escort agency, and he bowed back with his fists: "I have seen Zhao escorts."
Zhao Xiaotian did not allow Chen Wanrong to ask questions and made a clear statement: "They are escorts from the escort agency, and they will run around your mansion from now on. If there is something missing, please forgive me."
Chen Wanrong said "Good Me" repeatedly, and Zhao Xiaotian pointed to the man in the first place and introduced: "This is Shi Dazhu, Zhao's unsatisfactory disciple. He will be responsible for the affairs of the government in the future. If Manager Chen has any requests, he will just say it to Dazhu."
This Shi Dazhu is the man who Chen Wanrong went to the escort agency that day and led the way. He is considered an old acquaintance. Chen Wanrong clasped his fists and said, "I have seen Master Shi, and I will rely on you from now on."
Shi Dazhu bowed his fists and replied, "Shopkeeper Chen is so serious. If there is anything wrong with him, just give him instructions."
"Haha! Shi Dazhu is our pioneering disciple. He is still adept at fists and feet, and he is still loyal. I am so worry-free with him here." Zhao Xiaotian's words appeared to be modest, but in fact, he was telling Chen Wanrong that you can rest assured that I sent a proud disciple.
Chen Wanrong couldn't hear it, and hurriedly said, "Zhao Boss is so kind, I can't be grateful!" It's different after spending a lot of money. With this "insurance policy", Zhao Xiaotian couldn't even pay attention to it.
Zhao Xiaotian shook his hands and said repeatedly that he didn't dare, and a flower bloomed on his face. Chen Wanrong clasped his fists and said, "I'll ask the two masters for their names." Asking about their names is the minimum thing.
Shi Dazhu pointed to the man on the left and introduced: "Shopkeeper Chen, this is Zhou Zhentian, this is Qian Mingxin. Please meet Storekeeper Chen."
The two hurriedly met with each other with their fists, Chen Wanrong bowed his fists and returned the gift, and said politely, "The residence is ready for the three of you. Come and see if you want to see."
Chen Wanrong led them to see the room. Each person had a single room. The furnishings in the room were good, and it was no different from the top-quality rooms. Zhao Xiaotian was so satisfied that he kept praising him.
The escort went to visit the house to protect the yard. The wealthy families usually gave one or two rooms, and they would not arrange one room for each person. This is a wait-for-all treatment. Although this is a trivial matter, it can be seen that Chen Wanrong is cheerful and interesting. Shi Dazhu and the other two were happy from the bottom of their hearts and they had a little more favorable impression of Chen Wanrong.
After settling down, Zhao Xiaotian said goodbye: "Everything is over, there are still some things in the escort agency. Manager Chen, I will say goodbye first."
Chen Wanrong hurriedly held him and said, "Zhao Boss, you can't leave. Tonight, I'll do the go and we'll go out to gather, how can you be missing?"
It means to welcome Shi Dazhu and the other three, but there are only three stintsmen. When they meet better wealthy families, they can only add a few dishes, which means it. When they meet stingy families, they don’t even show it. There are not many families like Chen Wanrong who specially invite them out to make trouble.
As for people, you have to do it. Chen Wanrong does not want to flatter them, but being able to be a human being is also a virtue of Chen Wanrong, and you still have to do enough effort.
This proposal alone was enough to make Zhao Xiaotian happy. He smiled and shook his hands and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, how can that be done? When you arrive at your residence, you will be like the people in your residence. Don't do this, don't do this!"
He kept ruling, but his face was filled with joy. It was rare for a good person like Chen Wanrong to meet him, and he would not be happy.
"It's OK, it's OK! You guys are busy for me. If I don't have enough friendship with a landlord, wouldn't it be too rude? That's all this." Chen Wanrong said very affirmatively.
Zhao Xiaotian thought for a moment, then folded his fists and thanked him: "Since that's the case, Zhao Xiaotian has thanked Storekeeper Chen on their behalf. Storekeeper Chen is so kind, so he will definitely repay him."
Chen Wanrong did not want them to repay, but the kindness exchange for good words was enough to make people happy. He smiled and said, "I dare not, I dare not!"
Shi Dazhu and the other two came to thank him. Thank you for your thanks, Chen Wanrong invited them into the house to serve tea and talk and chat with them. It was not until the evening that he invited them out for a drink.
This is how people are. Good feelings are mutual. You are good to me and I am good to you. Chen Wanrong treats you sincerely. Shi Dazhu and the other two are also happy from the bottom of their hearts and respects Chen Wanrong a lot.
As a warrior, he is straightforward. If you treat him well, he will repay two points. When he returns home after dinner, Shi Dazhu and the other two and Chen Wanrong have already called him brothers.
The next day, Chen Wanrong got up early, finished washing up, and prepared to go for a horse. Since Chen Zairong went to the East Palace, the horse-slide incident has fallen on Chen Wanrong. He has to get up early every day, and today is no exception.
As soon as they left the house, Shi Dazhu and the other two were practicing martial arts in the yard. Zhou Zhennan and Qian Mingxin were feeding each other. The two fists and feet were fighting hard. They attacked and blocked each other, and they were evenly matched, and it was difficult to decide the winner for a while.
Shi Dazhu was practicing swordsmanship alone, and a knife flew up and down in his hand, and the sword was shining brightly. As for whether his swordsmanship was good, Chen Wanrong was not an expert, so he could only watch the excitement. Judging from the excitement, it should not be bad.
"Brother Shi, good knife skills!" Chen Wanrong praised politely.
Shi Dazhu put his knife away and came to greet him, "I have met Storekeeper Chen. Storekeeper Chen, you got up so early." He wiped the sweat from his face, which was very comfortable.
Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "No way you are old, you have sweated all over your body."
Shi Dazhu smiled and said, "We are used to practicing martial arts. Shopkeeper Chen, come on, I will teach you a set of fists and kicks." Chen Wanrong was really good to them. He was convinced from the bottom of his heart and wanted to be kind to Chen Wanrong.
If I were engaging in martial arts novels, Chen Wanrong would have agreed happily. Now that I can't do it anymore, I'd already passed the age of practicing martial arts. He smiled and declined: "I appreciate Brother Shi's kindness. But, at my age, how much martial arts are still practicing?"
After looking at Chen Wanrong for a while, Shi Dazhu smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, you are too worried. You don't have to start practicing martial arts from an hour. When practicing as a young child, you will naturally achieve higher achievements. As long as you work hard and get older, you can at least strengthen your body and prolong your life."
This makes sense. Can people in their thirties and fifties practice Tai Chi differently? Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Gaojian, Gaojian."
Shi Dazhu frowned and said, "Shopkeeper Chen is not interested in practicing martial arts. It doesn't matter. I can order the Five Animal Show to strengthen the body. If Storekeeper Chen doesn't think I'm not practicing well, I'll show it to you." To put it bluntly, he still insists on teaching Chen Wanrong's boxing and foot skills. He can only use this boxing and foot skills. If he doesn't repay this, he really has nothing.
He said that he had reached this point. If Chen Wanrong didn't give him some face, he would have failed in life. He smiled and said, "Brother Shi, you are good at martial arts, that's my honor."
Shi Dazhu put his legs together, squatted down his knees, raised his legs and stepped up, and began to practice. He was immersed in the Five Animal Show for dozens of years, very skillful and extremely skillful. This practice was like a rabbit rising and falling, which made Chen Wanrong applaud.
After the demonstration, Shi Dazhu clasped his fists and said, "It's ugly. Manager Chen, come and try it."
Chen Wanrong shook his hand and said, "No, no, I haven't practiced it."
"It's not difficult at all for five animals to nourish the body." Shi Dazhu was very enthusiastic and encouraged Chen Wanrong.
Chen Wanrong refused to do so, so he had to reluctantly say: "Since that's the case, Brother Shi should not make a joke." He practiced one by one according to his memory. After practicing several moves, the activities started, as if he was bathed in the spring breeze, he was extremely happy, and he was out of control, and he practiced even more vigorously.
When Chen Wanrong finished practicing, Shi Dazhu looked at Chen Wanrong in surprise and opened his mouth wide: "Shopkeeper Chen, you really haven't practiced?"
Chen Wanrong didn't even think about it and said with certainty: "Yes! Brother Shi, what's wrong with this?"
"It's not that it's wrong, it's that I've practiced so well!" Shi Dazhu became excited, grabbed Chen Wanrong's hand, and said, "Come on, I'll correct it for you. There are 54 styles in the Five Animals, and you only have 23 styles that make a mistake, and the rest are correct."
The error rate is nearly half, which is good enough? This is the first time Chen Wanrong heard it and laughed: "Brother Shi was a joke, he was wrong so many times."
Shi Dazhu said very seriously: "Shopkeeper Chen, I mean it's true. It's very difficult for a person who has never practiced martial arts. When the master taught me, I remembered it carefully and read it, but remembered the seven or eight styles. The master praised me for a few days and said that I remember it very well. Compared to the shopkeeper Chen, it's really a witch and a joke to the Fang family."
I dare not brag about anything else, but Chen Wanrong thinks that this memory is not bad. The text the teacher requires memorization can usually be recited in less than three times. I have been accustomed to this since I was a child, and I have long been accustomed to it, and I said: "Brother Shi has been awarded too much."
Shi Dazhu's face was solemn and said seriously: "Shopkeeper Chen, these five animals were created by Hua Tuo, which were divided into five operas: tiger, deer, bear, ape, and bird. When practicing, you should relax your whole body, keep your mind focused on the Dantian, and combine the body and spirit. Every breath should be slow and long, so don't hurry. Shopkeeper Chen remembers the moves well, but his mind is useless and his body is not relaxed enough."
Chen Wanrong has never practiced martial arts, and his requirements are too high. Chen Wanrong has not been able to follow his words: "Brother Shi said, I remember it."
Shi Dazhu taught so seriously, Chen Wanrong was embarrassed not to say something nice, but he praised it very much: "Shopkeeper Chen's modestness is convinced. I was so happy that I almost raised my tail to the sky after my master praised me back then. The bear play is focused on calmness and lightness, and a strong spirit. The tiger play should be powerful, soft and hard, and soft, and soft. Only then can we get the trick. The ape play should be light and flexible, just like a monkey and ape climbing among trees, agile and free. The deer play should be quiet and natural, and the deer runs at a speed, which is extremely light and brisk. The bird play should have the momentum of spreading its wings and swaying to the clouds. Only then can we get the key."
One by one, Chen Wanrong had never heard of it, but he felt a sense of freshness. Under the guidance of Shi Dazhu, he practiced twice, and his body was hot, as if he was holding a stove, which was particularly comfortable.
The Five Animal Play is a famous health exercise in Chinese history. It has been passed down for thousands of years and is very popular now. Long-term practice has great benefits for the body. Although Chen Wanrong is a beginner, he has benefited. He was very happy and said, "I will practice again."
Shi Dazhu stopped him and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, you naturally have to work hard to practice. However, what is more important is to persevere. You cannot fish for two days and dry the net for three days. Only by practicing for many years can you have the miraculous effect of strengthening your body and prolonging your life."
He said that he was telling Chen Wanrong not to be anxious for success, so Chen Wanrong had to stop and said, "Thank you, Brother Shi, for your reminder. You practice, I'll go and take a walk." He led Blue and White, jumped onto the back of the horse, and beat the horse out of the yard.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Zheng Qing riding a horse and said with complaint: "Brother Chen, why are you here now? I have been waiting for you for a long time." The two of them often walked together, but Zheng Qing couldn't wait for him for a long time, so he rushed to see what was going on.
Practicing martial arts is like taking drugs, and you will get addicted. Chen Wanrong practiced several times and tasted the sweetness, but it was hard to give up. He actually forgot that Zheng Qing was waiting for him. I was embarrassed: "Qing, I'm sorry. Brother Shi and I are practicing boxing and kicking, which has made you wait for a long time."
Zheng Qing glanced at Chen Wanrong, pursed her lips and didn't laugh: "Brother Chen, are you practicing health care?"
After hitting the word, Chen Wanrong nodded and said, "Yes! Qing, how did you know?"
"You have to practice martial arts since childhood. When you get older, you can only practice health care and strengthen your health." Zheng Qing then explained and encouraged him: "Brother Chen, Master Shi is willing to teach you, so you can learn something well. Long-term practice can activate the blood of muscles and blood, which is beneficial to the body, and it is more beneficial than lying in bed."
This makes sense, life lies in exercise. Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Okay, there is another thing in the future. Where are you going today?" In the past, the two of them were basically choosing places for Zheng Qing to choose, so Chen Wanrong asked this question.
Zheng Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Chen, we are going to a new place today. You have never been to this place yet. There are many strange stones there, which is quite fun."
Chen Wanrong was very interested and asked, "What stone?"
Zheng Qing rode the horse forward and replied: "The stone has colors, some are gray, some are white, some are red, some are yellow. There are many red meat, and some are yellow soap."
What kind of stone is this? Chen Wanrong's curiosity was raised and he rushed to catch up. Zheng Qing continued: "This stone can cure diseases, taste bitter and non-toxic. It can cure fever on the body and cold limbs, and it can also facilitate constipation and qi."
It was not uncommon for the ancients to find drugs to treat diseases from minerals. Alum is a living example. Chen Wanrong didn't care, but Zheng Qing's next words almost made Chen Wanrong jump up.
Zheng Qing said: "This stone is called Fangshi, and more of it is called feldstone."
Feldspar has the effect of curing diseases. Chen Wanrong is not a medical practitioner, so he doesn't know, but Chen Wanrong knows other uses of feldspar. Not only do he know, but he also dreams of it, and hurriedly asked: "Qing, where is it? Take me there quickly."
Zheng Qing heard him say it urgently and said in a puzzled question: "Brother Chen, this stone is just beautiful and very interesting."
Chen Wanrong almost shouted: "Fenspar is the material for glass! It takes quartz sand, soda ash, limestone and feldspar to make glass. Quartz sand, soda ash, and limestone are not a problem. I don't know where this feldspar is available. If feldspar is available, I can not only make good-looking glass, but also make the instruments I need!"
You can search for quartz sand by the river, not a problem. Needless to say, soda ash. Limestone is not a problem. It is everywhere. If there is no such raw material, you cannot burn lime.
Only this feldspar, although is the most common mineral in the earth's crust, is mainly concentrated in igneous rocks, metamorphic rocks, and sedimentary rocks. Chen Wanrong has never discovered it.
