"Brother Wan, I heard that you want to recruit a postman, please recruit me." The tomboy from the Zhao family rushed into the backyard like a gust of wind, followed by a sloppy old man.
"How can any postman be a woman? Go home and work as a female worker, don't come here and cause trouble for me." Wan Lei was busy working on the oil pumping system, and he had a headache when he saw this guy.
"Hmph, don't look down on women. If I hadn't come to the rescue last night, you would have been shot to death by random arrows." The tomboy was unhappy, and there was a layer of blackness on his face. He was always ready to go crazy.
She looks like a seductress on the street in later generations.
"Then I really have to thank you. If it hadn't been for your pull, I would have gone to the Palace of Hell to go through the reincarnation procedures happily. I don't have to live in fear every day like I do now. If I'm not careful, I will be arrested and executed for thousands of dollars."
Cut it." Wan Lei said angrily.
"Hmph, Lu Dongbin doesn't know a good heart when a dog bites you. If I had known you were so ungrateful, I shouldn't have rescued you then."
"You shouldn't have taken action in the first place. I'm still suffering while I'm alive. It's better to die. If I die early, I might be reincarnated as an emperor in the next life, so I don't have to live in such a lowly manner."
"Madman, unreasonable." The tomboy rolled his eyes at Wan Lei and ignored him.
"Little layman, God has the virtue of good life. We should value our own lives and must not seek short-sightedness." Seeing that Wan Lei still looked like he was "seeing death as home", the old Taoist hurriedly advised him.
"You think I want to die. Now I have no way to live and I have to die. You let the rebels escape last night. These people may come back to take revenge at any time. Once I fall into the hands of the rebels, I will be killed by a thousand swords."
If you die without a whole body, I will definitely thank you in my dream when I turn to kill you." Wan Lei glared at the old man and said angrily.
The old Taoist blushed and said hurriedly: "The imperial court has sent people to investigate the remnants of the rebel bandits. I believe that their members will be captured in the near future. You don't have to worry, little layman."
"Don't worry about it, old mother. The knife is not on your neck, so of course you don't have to worry about it." Wan Lei was so angry that he threw away the tools in his hand and turned around to go back to the oil refinery.
Wan Lei has reason to be angry. Last night he played with fire and forced the rebel leader to fight back. If the fire burned that guy, he would take advantage of the chaos and take advantage of the situation. As long as he captured the leader, he would torture him and force him to confess.
The party is recruiting, and the rebels will be captured soon.
But he managed to run away from this veteran, ruining his overall plan. Now that the rebel leader has retreated, the officers and soldiers only have the four little minions who were defeated yesterday, and they can't ask anything at all. More importantly,
Yes, the rebels have been alerted now and will definitely hide. The area around Shuntian Prefecture is very mountainous and close to the Mongolian border. Finding them is as difficult as going up to the sky.
It doesn't matter if we can't catch the rebels. What's more terrible is that our partner Zhao Hongru is afraid of being implicated and dare not come to the inn again. The cooperative oil operation is forced to be suspended. If the rebels don't catch them all in one day, I'm afraid the oil in the oil well will still change.
It won't turn into real gold and silver. As the saying goes, cutting off people's food and clothing is like killing their parents. Things have been going wrong recently, and Wan Lei already dislikes everyone.
Seeing Wan Lei's back angrily leaving, the old man blushed again and was speechless for a while.
"Master, this guy doesn't know the heart of a good person. He deserves to die. We don't need to pay attention to him." Seeing the shame on his master's face, the tomboy persuaded him in a low voice.
"My teacher made a mistake and put him in danger. If he leaves like this, his life will be unexpected. My teacher will feel guilty for the rest of his life."
"Didn't Master say that there is something important coming from the north? If we protect you here, I'm afraid it will be delayed for a long time, and we will miss the big event. Just have disciples here to watch, and I hope those rebels won't come back for the time being." The tomboy
road.
"Master left Laoshan and came here on important matters. A month ago, I watched the stars at night for my master. There were shooting stars like lamps, attacking Ziwei. Later, news of the death of King Yan came. And this man claimed to have killed King Yan with his own hands and wanted to come here.
The omen corresponds to his body, and the fortune of the Ming Dynasty may also be tied to his body. As a teacher, I should stay and observe carefully."
"Master, do you really believe that he is the son of Ksitigarbha? People say that Ksitigarbha is a Bodhisattva and would not have a son." The tomboy looked disapproving.
"He dares to kill the prince with his own hands. He must be really extraordinary. Let's just wait and see what happens." The old Taoist waved his sleeves, blew away the dust on a bluestone board, closed his eyes and sat in meditation.
"It's just that the disciple got angry when he saw his arrogant look." The tomboy pouted, kicked over a wooden barrel, sat on it angrily, and kicked the pebbles on the ground restlessly with his right leg.
.
Guarding a pile of "black gold", Wan Lei will not be willing to suffer poverty. He is angry because he is angry, but the negative words of seeking death are just words. He treats life relatively positively. No,
When he returned to the oil refining room, he poured a bucket of oil into the pot and lit a fire to start refining.
Since there is no extraction equipment, vacuum fractionation cannot be carried out. All fractions are fractionated from an atmospheric distillation pot. Since the vaporization temperature of fractions such as paraffin and asphalt in the residual oil is very high, fractionation in an atmospheric pressure pot is unavoidable.
Some residual oil is carbonized and coked at high temperatures.
Fortunately, the main components of residual oil are lubricating oil, paraffin and ozokerite. As long as it is refined with sulfuric acid and clay, harmful and pungent-smelling impurities can be removed, and an odorless and non-toxic transparent glue can be obtained.
This thing is what Wan Lei plans to use to make money quickly - Tiger Balm.
As for sulfuric acid, this is not a rare thing. Sulfur burns to form sulfur dioxide that dissolves in water. After concentration, concentrated sulfuric acid can be obtained. White clay is not a rare thing. It is clay treated with concentrated sulfuric acid. Generally speaking, tiger balm production
The required level of craftsmanship is not high and Wan Lei can handle it alone. The difficulty lies in how to open up sales.
You know, when a new product is first launched, people won’t use it. Especially tiger balm, which is sticky and looks like snot. If you want customers to accept it, you must first advertise it, let everyone try it, and let them try it.
To truly see the effectiveness of a product, relying solely on deception is not enough.
"Are we going to be like those Jianghu entertainers who sell Dali Pills and sell them everywhere?" Wan Lei shook his head and rejected this plan. Now he is in the eyes of the rebels and can't even leave the house, so naturally he can't go out to do it.
sell.
Just when he was at his wits' end, his eyes fell right on the face of the tomboy from the Zhao family through the window of the oil refinery.
"Hey, come here." Wan Lei waved to the tomboy from the Zhao family who was still kicking stones.
"My name is not Hello, my name is Zhao Xueer." The tomboy of the Zhao family protested, but trotted over in a hurry.
"Zhao Xue'er? That's a good name." Wan Lei glanced at her slutty face and found that it was not only green but also a little chapped. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Didn't you just say you wanted to be a postman? Now I have it.
I have a job for you to do."
"What kind of work? I agreed that I won't do menial work, and I won't do any work that involves robbing families and homes."
"I'm short of a sales assistant right now. I don't have to do any menial work, as long as I'm willing to show up, I'll be successful."
"Sales assistant? What kind of official is this?"
"I, the eldest, are not even an official, but you, the youngest, still want to be an official? You really dare to think and do it!" Wan Lei rolled his eyes at the guy and then said: "I am going to launch a magical product called Tiger Balm.
, apply it on your face to make it smooth and white; you can also apply it on your face if you are injured in a fight and get a knife, it is guaranteed to be better than Jinchuang Medicine. As a sales assistant, your task is to try it in front of everyone and let everyone
seeing is believing."
"Oh, I understand, what a sales assistant, what you say is mysterious, in the end you still have to sell Dali Pills. I don't want to do this kind of deceptive work." Zhao Xueer rolled her eyes at Wan Lei and refused.
"Hey, how can those Dali Pills compare with my Tiger Balm? Dali Pills are fake, but my Tiger Balm is really effective. Don't believe it? You can try it first. Apply it on your hands first, and within ten days, it is guaranteed to become better.
Soft and smooth.”
"Really so amazing? You can't be bragging, right?" Zhao Xueer still didn't believe it, but when she saw her hands that had become very rough from dancing with guns and clubs, she really hoped that what Wan Lei said was true.
of.
"They say that hearing is deceptive and seeing is believing. Now I want you to go and get some sulfur for me. I will work all night to get it out and I can try it out tomorrow."
"You said it yourself. If I find out tomorrow that what you made is a deceptive fake, I will smash all the broken bottles and cans in your room." Zhao Xueer ran out, and even before leaving,
Don't forget to warn.
While Wan Lei was busy refining oil, Li Dazui and Li Shen each led a dozen subordinates and some nearby villagers, led by more than a dozen old dogs, to conduct a dragnet search of nearby villages.
Since the remnants of the anti-thieves dispersed when they evacuated Changping Post, their traces were hard to find, and it was impossible to find anyone based on their footprints. If Wan Lei hadn't come up with the idea and asked the officers and soldiers to bring dogs into the battle to search, I'm afraid they would have been like headless flies.
Walking around.
"Master Li, come and take a look, we found a bloody coat here." By the river, a sergeant in charge of pulling the dog called out.
Li Dazui hurriedly ran over and saw a coat stained with oil being thrown into the reeds by the river. He picked it up and saw that there were some fresh blood stains on it. He thought it must have been left for some rebels.
came down.
"Send the order and ask the brothers to search the area carefully and not miss any clues. By the way, tell them to be careful, the rebels are probably hiding nearby." Li Dazui was afraid, after all, the gang of rebels
The rest of the party are not trustworthy men and good women, they are all murderous masters.
The officers and soldiers searched several hundred meters along the river and saw a ruined temple located by the river. The ruins were surrounded by weeds. It was so deserted that no one would live there. Li Dazui didn't pay attention at first, but the dogs he brought surrounded him.
Around the ruined temple, there was constant barking.
"Surround this temple immediately. No one is allowed to act without my order." Li Dazui ordered in a low voice, then turned to a confidant and said: "Go and inform General Li and ask him to bring people to meet here immediately.
