Chapter 10 Pay attention to people

Cheng Wenying saw Eight Niangs acting like this and comforted her: "I don't like to be so polite in my family. Family ties and family ties are more important."

Su You smiled secretly, did you know that it was also a crime to rise to the occasion?

He quickly changed the subject: "This ruler is just the beginning. Next, we have to experiment with pottery movable type, design technology, determine the process, and control quality. This cannot be done by one person."

After speaking, he winked at Banniang and said, "Banniang took it for granted at first. But now we have new ideas."

Ba Niang quickly took out the list of workmanship defects that she and Su You had summarized in Shuijing Alley, and then told Cheng Wenying their thoughts and ideas.

Cheng Wenying said with emotion: "The previous approach was probably a random one, with no 30% certainty. But after this change, why do you think it is 70% or 80% feasible?"

Su You smiled and said: "Yes, we just need to find out the direction of process improvement first, and then move closer in that direction."

Cheng Wenying stroked his thin beard and said, "My dear nephew, do you think this will work? Since Ba Niang is so determined, Ba Niang and you will take the lead on this matter. I will set up a workshop for you two and add a hundred dollars.

Try it and see."

"If it doesn't work, don't worry about it. Anyway, developing this ruler is already worth it. But if it does work, then this workshop will be worth nine points, three points will be counted as my Cheng family's, and three points will be counted as Banniang's private house.

How about the other three points being counted as nephew’s shares?”

Unexpectedly, this old man still had venture capital awareness, Su You quickly declined: "How can this be done?"

Cheng Wenying couldn't help but said: "Don't refuse! You are alone, and you will have to go to school, make friends, and take exams in the future. If you don't have money to take care of it, it won't work. With this income, you don't have to worry about your livelihood, and you can study peacefully.

"

Su You thought about it, stood up and thanked him: "My nephew is no longer pretentious, he will do his best to achieve this."

"But my nephew has a request. This workshop counts as ten points. We each take three points and keep one as the basis for research and development, okay?"

Cheng Wenying stroked his beard and chuckled: "That's better, that's even better. If we get another thing like this ruler, we can make a lot of money."

After that, he continued to comfort Su You: "This is not just for you, but with your cousin Mingyun's sharp mouth, just by having this ruler in my house, he can arrange for me to invade my nephew's property. Do you believe it?"

Su You smiled coquettishly and said: "What's the matter..."

In my heart, I praised the old man secretly. You were right as expected. The shot my old cousin shot at your son was also a crime.

In the evening, Cheng Wenying left Su You by his side for dinner, but this meal was far inferior to the one he made at noon. Su You endured it several times and ate chicken rice with minced meat without taking out his snow salt.

Cheng Wenying saw that Su You was not satisfied with the food, so he laughed and scolded: "You kid, do you dislike my family's poor food? I just don't understand. How come you, a five-year-old village boy, seem to be well-dressed and well-fed since you were born? This is your old uncle's habit.

Something went wrong?"

Su You couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the old uncle's cooking skills: "No, it's mainly because the old uncle's food is too scary. I haven't let him cook since he was four years old."

Cheng Wenying said seriously: "My dear nephew, you are clever, smart and eager to learn, but that's all. Do you know that people value self-reliance?"

"If you don't hold back, you should regard it as a great responsibility that God will entrust to this person. Be self-reliant and strive for self-improvement. From now on, you can pursue a destiny for your parents and make them smile. Only then can you comfort your parents in their lives. You must not have a lonely and angry heart.

"

This was the lesson. Su You quickly stood up and said, "Thanks to my uncle for teaching me, my nephew understands."

Cheng Wenying smiled: "When I talk to you, I always forget that you are still a child, and you are really young and mature. Sit down quickly, there is no need to get up every time to answer."

Su You then sat down again and said, "Speaking of family relationships, Banniang misses her grandnephew very much."

Cheng Wenying said: "Well, since Banniang has grown up, we still have to make arrangements for the child to go back."

After speaking, he called the housekeeper and said, "Young madam is already well, so let's take Xun'er over. It's better for the child to be with her mother. By the way, the wet nurse will also come over, and the girl Si Yue, who has been taking care of her these days.

Young Madam, you have prepared the food carefully, so let her continue to serve you."

After the housekeeper left, Cheng Wenying said to Su You: "Your cousin Mingyun has gone on a trip again, this time to Jianmen, so you can come back when you have more time. Zizhan Ziyou went to Qingshen, Shaluxing

As long as your sister-in-law is here, don’t go there for now and stay at my place first.”

Su You respectfully replied: "I will listen to my uncle-in-law's arrangements."

Cheng Wenying asked Banniang to take Su You to the back hall to meet his aunt, and officially recognized Su You as his nephew.

Cheng Wenying's wife was an ordinary woman, taciturn, and after a few polite words, Banniang took Su You out and took him to live in a side room.

After a while, a middle-aged mother came over and said that she was sent here by the dowager to take care of the young master.

Su Youke did as he pleased, letting his mother tidy him up and put him in bed to sleep.

There was an incense basket in the room and the quilt had been smoked. Before Su You fell asleep, he seemed to feel that there was another big business waiting for him.

When I woke up early the next morning, I had completely forgotten what I had thought before going to bed yesterday.

The middle-aged mother came over with willow branches, green salt and warm water, but was surprised to see Su You had already dressed and took out a small brush and a small bamboo tube from her small bag.

When the bamboo tube was opened, there was some powdery substance inside. Su You soaked the brush in water, dipped it in some powder, and started brushing his teeth on the edge of the patio.

After Su You finished brushing his teeth, the middle-aged mother hurriedly handed over the handkerchief and said, "I didn't expect the young master to get up so early."

Su You took the veil and said, "Mama Li, uncle-in-law and eighth mother-in-law, are they all up?"

Li Ma replied: "Not yet."

Su You wiped his face and said, "I get up early in the countryside, mainly because the big rooster at home doesn't stop. Then I will play more every day from tomorrow and get up later."

Mother Li smiled: "Young master, you don't have to worry about this, just do whatever you want."

Su You handed the handkerchief back to Li's mother: "Li's mother, go and do your own business. I'll find some books to pass the time."

Mother Li said: "Then when dinner is served, I will call the young master."

While eating, Cheng Wenying smiled and said, "You are really particular about people. How did you come up with that gadget for brushing your teeth?"

Su You grinned: "I asked the folks in the village to make it. It's actually just a small brush with bamboo rat hair."

After finishing speaking, he thought for a while and then said: "However, the elasticity of bamboo rat hair is a little bit poor, so it can be used with upper teeth to brush the tooth surface. To clean the gaps between teeth, another thing is needed, dental floss."

After speaking, he spread his hands and touched his small mouth and said sheepishly: "I can't help it. Who wants my nephew to be greedy? He needs to take good care of his teeth."

Cheng Wenying laughed angrily: "Is it the thing you used after eating yesterday? I'm convinced that you need three things to maintain your teeth? You are really particular about people!"

Su Baniang, who had been silent for the whole time, said in a low voice: "Uncle Xiaoyao, I also want one of those three things you have."

Su You said: "This is simple, but the tooth powder I used is not very good."

Cheng Wenying said: "This is easy to handle. I'll ask the drugstore to deliver it later. Wait... can you bring me your tooth powder?"

Su You took the tooth powder from the bag. Cheng Wenying opened it and took a look: "I thought there must be something weird. Why is your powder so fine?"

Su You was surprised in turn: "Isn't there a water flying method used in this medicinal material yet?"

Cheng Wenying asked: "What is water flying?"

Su You thought for a while and slowly explained: "Actually, it's very simple. When grinding the medicine, add water. The fine ones will be suspended in the water, and the coarse ones will sink under the water. Pour out the suspension and let it dry.

If you keep grinding the coarse ones, you can get extremely fine powder by grinding it over and over again."

Cheng Wenying had a look of dementia on his face: "Is this... so simple?"

Su You then said another benefit: "There is another benefit. Drugs such as realgar can also use this method to remove fire toxins. In fact, the impurities in them that can be dissolved in water are removed through this method to obtain pure

of realgar.”

Cheng Wenying couldn't sit still anymore, grabbed Su You's hand and said, "My dear nephew, hurry up and follow me to the drug store."

Su Baniang had a look of resentment on her face: "Grandpa, we agreed to go with Uncle Yao to inspect the porcelain workshop today. I had already discussed it with Sister Shi's sister yesterday."

Su You was pulled to a point where he could not stand, so he quickly said: "Actually, as long as you break this layer of window paper, the method itself is extremely simple. Brother-in-law, you can go on your own, let's make it clear, the master who prepares the medicine must have a better understanding of the physical properties of the medicine than I do."
