"Second Master, this is a joke. How can your nephews be so good? They must be talents that can be developed. You are really discerning in allowing them to join the camp for training."
"Although you can't join the army, it's good to go to the military camp to get some exercise. Let them, the juniors, see more of the world at home, so that they can be put to use as soon as possible in the future."
"Zhang knows what the second master is thinking and will definitely make arrangements. Please rest assured."
The two of them continued chatting for a while and became very harmonious, without the awkwardness they felt when they first met.
After seeing off Adjutant Zhang, the second master asked the boy beside him, "Is the young master's family behind?"
The young man replied: "Our young boss may have changed his temper these past two days. In the past, we couldn't even see him. But these days have been good. He comes to the store to take care of us every day. The shopkeeper asked us to be alert.
Don’t be scolded when the young master sees something wrong or is lazy. Now, the young master should be resting in the back!"
The second master smiled and said, "I understand, go and do your work."
The boy agreed and went to the lobby to take care of other guests.
The second master stood at the door. Just as he was about to go out, he stopped again, thought about it, and turned around to walk towards the backyard of the tea house.
In the office of the Yongshi Ancestral Hall, several old men and young people are dealing with the matters at hand at their respective desks. This is the "brain" or "general headquarters" of the Yongshi clan.
All the affairs of the whole family, including weddings and funerals, employment and further studies, the addition of children and grandchildren, etc., must be reported here for review and processing. Celebrations that should be celebrated, vetoes that should be vetoed, funerals that should be held, and banquets that should be held
Banquet.
This has been the case in all dynasties since the ancestral hall was opened.
All matters involving the Yong clan, no matter how big or small, must be approved or given specific opinions by the clan leader before they can be acted upon.
From top to bottom of the clan, no one except the clan leader has any exceptions.
Major events involving the Yong clan, major events within the clan such as the replacement of the clan leader, investment decisions, etc., and major events outside the clan such as contacting the government, negotiating disputes, etc. Even the clan leader cannot act arbitrarily and must summon senior clan members within the clan to discuss and reach an agreement.
Only by reaching a consensus can corresponding measures be implemented.
These regulations and charters ensure the unity and prosperity of the Yong family, and at the same time do not allow anyone to dare to challenge the Yong family.
A united family has infinite power.
At this moment, Yong Ming is on the phone in his independent office.
The other end of the phone was reporting something to him, and Yong Ming listened patiently without interrupting the other party.
After listening to a long report, Yong Ming said calmly: "We need to pay more attention to the drought in the tea area. We can ask the local cooperative squires to petition the government to solve the water source problem. We don't want to come forward. I know what you mean, but we
After all, he is just a big tea buyer. If he gets too involved in local affairs, it may not be a good thing. He may also do bad things with good intentions, so I just want to coordinate from the side."
After listening to the opinions on the other end of the phone, Yong Ming nodded and said, "That's right. Just do it. Now, I have something to tell you. You must arrange it immediately without delay."
After explaining his specific requirements, Yong Ming was very satisfied with the feedback on the other end of the phone. After making an arrangement for the next call with the other party, Yong Ming hung up the phone.
He stood up and closed the door of his office, then walked to the cabinet, opened the cabinet, and pushed the back panel of the cabinet to the left and right, revealing a heavy iron door on the wall.
He inserted the key into the door lock, opened the door, and walked in.
Then, he turned around, closed the cabinet door, and closed the back panel of the cabinet.
This is his studio, a private place where he can get a moment of peace and quiet.
Taken out from the envelope brought by Xie Liuyun, the gold pattern stretched into a thin sheet is soaking in a special solution. At this moment, its size has shrunk and its thickness has increased.
Yong Ming opened the lid of the alcohol stove, lit it, and adjusted the size of the flame.
After putting on the mask and surgical gloves, he picked up a blue bottle and carefully sucked three drops into the beaker using the straw on the bottle cap. Then he picked up the red bottle and dropped five drops into the beaker.
.
After doing this, Yong Ming used a test tube to measure 20 ml of the liquid in the white bottle and poured it into the beaker.
After stirring the liquid in the beaker evenly with a glass rod, Yong Ming placed the beaker on a stand on the alcohol stove and heated it.
He took a pair of tweezers, took out the gold pattern that had no longer changed and soaked in the solution, and placed it in a small tray to dry.
After watching the liquid heated with the alcohol lamp begin to boil, he used tweezers to put the gold pattern into the beaker and began to heat it.
He looked at his watch, counting the time, and at the same time picked up a badge on the workbench and made preparations.
When the time was exactly ten minutes, Yong Ming used tweezers to pick out the gold pattern and placed it in the empty space of the badge.
I saw the gold pattern slowly falling towards the empty space of the badge. Yong Ming gently placed the badge on the workbench. The whole process was smooth to ensure that there would be no tilt.
He turned off the alcohol lamp with a cover, wrapped the beaker in a cloth, took it to the sink, put it in the sink, turned on the faucet and rinsed it.
A thick white smoke immediately rose from the sink, and an unpleasant smell filled the room.
There is only one concealed exhaust vent in this room, but it is relatively small and spreads the smell slowly.
There are no windows in the studio. If the lights are not turned on, it can be said that you cannot see anything in the room.
Even so, Yong Ming still insisted on setting up the safest room to avoid problems.
After all, this studio can be said to be his carefully prepared laboratory, with complete utensils and various reagents. The most important thing is that it contains data and data from chemical experiments he has done in recent years covering biology, chemistry, pharmacology, and food.
Records must be detailed and complete, and there is no room for error.
These materials are his years of hard work. It can be said that since the opening of this studio five years ago, he has spent half of his time in this studio.
Yong Ming took off his mask and gloves, walked to the chair in front of the workbench, sat down, looked at the badge, and waited patiently.
Time passed by minute by minute, and in this confined space, time seemed to pass slowly.
After about five minutes, the gold pattern had completely submerged into the vacancy of the badge.
Yong Ming picked up the badge and rubbed it gently with his thumb. The gold pattern had been integrated into the badge, and there was no trace of anything out of place.
At this point, the badge has been restored to its original state, just as it was when it was first made nine hundred years ago.
