After Lin Jiuniang came out, she went directly to Prince Yan's Mansion.
But he was told that King Yan was not in the palace when he went out.
Lin Jiuniang breathed a sigh of relief, it was better not to be in the house, so as not to be embarrassed.
Therefore, after leaving the carefully prepared apology, he left quickly.
After arriving at his cloth shop, he immediately arranged for shopkeeper Gu Liu and others to invite people.
After the arrangements were made, they lit up the fire next to the fire plate in the store.
At this time, the store had sold out of cotton cloth and cotton, and there were only a few lonely pieces of linen lying on the shelves.
Glancing at the falling snow outside, Lin Jiuniang shook her head.
This weather is getting colder and colder.
I don’t know if people will freeze to death at night in weather like this.
Lin Jiuniang lowered her head, thinking about things.
It didn't take long for people to come here one after another.
Everyone who comes is a craftsman.
As the saying goes, colleagues are enemies, and when they suddenly gathered together, the faces of the craftsmen showed defensiveness and suspicion.
Some people even started talking quietly.
Finally, we came to the conclusion that it is a big project.
If it were not a big project, there would be no need for so many of them to gather here.
Because of this guess, their faces all showed expressions of joy and anticipation.
However, after hearing Lin Jiuniang's purpose for coming here, some grumpy and impatient people immediately left cursing.
Lin Jiuniang would not keep anyone who left.
Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.
As long as those who stay here master the know-how of making hot bricks, once the hot bricks are popularized, they will be too busy to stop and it will be difficult for them to make money.
Lin Jiuniang took out the drawings she drew and immediately told the people who stayed behind about the fire kang, fire wall, and fireplace.
To be honest, she didn't know how to do it.
She just knew there was such a thing.
But how to do it depends on the craftsmen.
They are all experienced craftsmen, and things like the fire kang are actually not complicated. They probably know how to make them once they figure it out on their own.
No, as soon as she finished speaking, someone asked:
"According to what you said, it's not difficult to make it. But if you light a fire below and people sleep on it, wouldn't that mean you're going to cook them to death?"
"Yes, it's unrealistic and will burn people to death."
…
Looking at the people who agreed one after another, Lin Jiuniang smiled, with a joking look on her face:
"If you want to be roasted dry, if the furnace is filled with a stove of firewood, I'm sure you can be roasted dry in one night.
All fools know that if you don’t want to be too hot, burn less firewood. Are you worse than a fool?"
As soon as Lin Jiuniang's words came out, everyone laughed in embarrassment.
When I think about it, it seems to be the same. As long as the firewood is suitable and there is a thick layer of sand and gravel on top, it will not be very hot at all.
Li Dayong has been a craftsman all his life and has never heard of the fire kang, but now he became interested.
If it is true as Boss Lin said, this fire kang really has a lot to offer.
He stood up immediately and said with interest:
"Boss Lin, this fire kang sounds pretty good to be honest, but I've never seen it, and no one has done it, so no one knows how it works.
After all, if there is a fire under the kang, it will easily collapse if it burns for a long time. If the kang collapses, someone will die."
Everyone else nodded in agreement, right?
All in all, it’s scary just thinking about it.
Lin Jiuniang shook her head. At this time, it is a scarce item and cannot be added to the kang noodles. "Therefore, the kang noodles of this fire kang must be remade every two years. The purpose is to prevent them from collapsing after being burned for a long time."
After saying this, Gu Liu just walked over.
Lin Jiuniang nodded and immediately invited everyone to the backyard.
Next, it's time for testing.
And while Lin Jiuniang was leading people to study the fire kang, Qian Pengfei's head turned gray with worry.
Since yesterday, a steady stream of people have returned with winter coats. Under pressure, Qian Pengfei agreed to return the goods.
He transferred cash from all the stores in the capital, but it was far from enough.
Even if he pawned his house and some shops in the capital, it was still not enough to pay the compensation, and there was still a lot left.
Looking at the excited people outside the door, Qian Pengfei looked much older.
With trembling hands, he took out a jade pendant, which was a keepsake of the head of the Qian family and a certificate for withdrawing money from HSBC Bank.
The money in HSBC Bank cannot be touched unless absolutely necessary.
Once this happens, the Qian family will really collapse.
Now, the issue of winter clothes has become a big deal, and the government already knows that if it cannot be calmed down as soon as possible, the Qian family will be in trouble.
Handing the jade pendant to He Buxian, he sighed, "Take them all out."
After saying that, he leaned back on the chair as if he was discouraged and looked out the door with dull eyes.
Lost.
He, Qian Pengfei, had a lot of troubles in his career in business, but he didn't expect that he would fail so miserably.
All the foundation laid by our ancestors was lost.
He Buxian looked at the jade pendant in his hand, his eyes flashed, "Okay!"
Then he turned around and walked out the door.
When He Buxian came back again, he brought back several large boxes of silver.
When the money was gone, the people finally dispersed one by one.
Qian Pengfei walked out of the store with a frustrated look on his face, "Have you paid all the compensation?"
He Buxian nodded and picked up the last ingot of silver left in it, "Boss, after all the distribution, only these five taels of silver are left."
Qian Pengfei took the money, his hands shaking a little.
The Qian family, which used to be so prosperous in the past, now only has these five taels of silver left?
Why Bu Xian shook his head, "Boss, there is still a chance to turn around.
The boss still has properties in Zhenjiang, and as long as they are managed well, there are many opportunities for success in Tian'an."
Qian Pengfei nodded, took a deep breath to calm down and gritted his teeth, "You're right, I still have a chance.
Back then, my ancestors of the Qian family built such a large family business with just a few acres of land, and I, Qian Pengfei, can certainly do the same."
Yes, he still has dozens of acres of land.
besides……
Qian Pengfei stared coldly in the direction of Lin Jiuniang's shop. His plan to drain the firepower must have worked.
It's hard for him, and neither can that bitch.
A hint of sarcasm flashed across He Buxian's eyes, he was indeed an old fox with a cunning rabbit in three burrows. He really had a field hidden, and he had hidden it well enough.
The sarcasm disappeared briefly, and then his expressionless expression returned.
Qian Pengfei asked He Buxian to close the store door, and then walked towards the temporary residence.
And his mind has already begun to think about how to make the Qian family make a comeback.
But halfway through, his attention was diverted by the cheers coming from Lin Jili ahead.
All this made Qian Pengfei grit his teeth.
Damn bitch, ever since she appeared, his Qian family has suffered successive losses.
Today, his Qian family has completely lost the market in the capital, and the family business has also been almost completely destroyed.
But Lin Jiuniang's side was actually very lively and she was laughing so loudly.
Damn it, this is clearly mocking him.
Qian Pengfei was angry, the anger burning in his heart became more and more intense, and finally he could no longer control himself and rushed towards Lin Ji.
At this time, in Lin Ji's backyard.
Everyone looked at the built fire pit with excitement and kept reaching out to feel the temperature on it.
Lin Jiuniang chuckled. She had to say how powerful these craftsmen were. She only knew how to build them with bricks and then seal them.
I never thought that there was so much detail in the bottom of the hot pot, so it was possible to make it without any problems. This is all due to the work of these craftsmen.
Lin Jiuniang clapped her hands, "The fire kang is not difficult and cost-effective, but it can benefit the people. With it in winter, people will no longer freeze to death."
So, I’ll leave it up to you all to do the next thing.”
"Okay, Boss Lin is very righteous," Li Dayong praised.
Without taking any money, he taught them the technology of the fire kang. No wonder the people in the capital said that Boss Lin was a truly kind man and truly kind.
Lin Jiuniang shook her head, and when she was about to speak, Qian Pengfei barged in.
coming.
Lin Jiuniang raised her eyebrows, "Boss Qian, have you finished all your matters? Why do you have time to come to my place?"
Without giving Qian Pengfei a chance to speak, he continued with a look of surprise:
“Boss Qian, you don’t have enough money to compensate, so you came to borrow money from me, right?
I don’t have the money to lend you, and besides, I don’t know you that well, right? So, I won’t lend it.”
Qian Pengfei's face twisted in anger, this damn bitch, who asked her to borrow money?
Taking a deep breath, Qian Pengfei calmed himself down.
He snorted coldly, "With this little money, my Qian family won't be able to afford the compensation."
"Well, I admire you," Lin Jiuniang smiled hypocritically, "It is indeed a big family with rich heritage. Your great eldest son has ruined your Qian family's ancestral business, and you can still come up with so much money to compensate. I admire you.
.”
"What are you talking about?" Qian Pengfei frowned.
His Qian family's ancestral business has been ruined. How is that possible?
