Chapter 23 House Cleaning(1/2)

Wu'an doesn't know what's going on now.

At that time, I walked out of the blue sky and there was a cosmic hotel. There was also a large hotel called White Swan Hotel next to the bus station.

At that time, the White Swan had just been built and held a big event. At night, a singing and dancing troupe was invited to perform. Many night owls were wandering around there. The roads of the bus station were brightly lit, and all night snack stalls were open all night.

It is only one or two kilometers away. After arriving at the bus station, the voices are noisy, and the singing and dancing troupe has to perform until after 12 o'clock. This is the time to be lively.

Xiaomei was familiar with the situation and led me to a roadside stall. This roadside stall was full of rain cloth sheds, and there were many people sitting inside. A large iron pot was not covered with a lid, and it was steaming. I saw that there were some bone racks in the pot.

"Yeah, the beauty is here again, sit down."

The owner of the food stall is a fat big sister with an apron. Her apron is covered with oil and she greets Xiaomei very enthusiastically.

Xiaomei took out a napkin and wiped the small stool, and said with a smile: "Sister, let's have two bowls of mutton soup. I want a small bowl, just use the normal amount."

"Where are you?" Xiaomei asked me.

I walked over and looked. The soup in the pot was light white and had a mutton smell.

I said I would like to give me a big bowl of meat.

"Okay, go and sit down, and scoop it for you immediately. You two can eat some sesame cakes."

Xiaomei said I could just drink some soup and stop eating it. She asked me how many I wanted to eat, and I said I could eat three.

In a few minutes, the mutton soup was served on the table. It was steaming hot and I felt it smelled good after taking a sip. There were many onions, blood strips, and mutton miscellaneous in the soup.

Xiaomei added a spoonful of chili peppers to herself. The chili peppers were fried in mutton oil. The light yellow color was not very spicy. I also added two spoonfuls to her.

I feel good when I take a sip of this late at night in winter and my body is not cold anymore. Xiaomei introduced that this is the authentic Wamumura mutton soup, which is made of simmering lamb bones for a night, and after drinking it, I can continue the soup infinitely.

Sometimes I miss that taste, but now I can’t find that taste. I heard that soup is made from seasoning powder now.

Something was being performed by the song and dance troupe in the distance. I slurped and whispered: "Your bell is not the best. I have seen chimes that are even better than Zeng Houyi Bell, and I have also heard the sound."

"ah?"

Xiaomei wiped her mouth: "No, there is no chime in the world that is more powerful than Zeng Houyi chimes. In the past, foreigners always said that the seven-sounding scale in our country came from abroad, but those people have shut up since Zeng Houyi chimes came out."

Xiaomei then said proudly: "Our instruments thousands of years ago not only have seven sound scales, but also can actually play the palace and the microscope. Among the twelve rules, the yang six and the yin six rules. As long as the user masters it skillfully, he can use a wooden hammer to rotate the palace and change the tone in the twelve rhythms."

I kept nodding and saying yes.

Actually, I can't understand a single word, and I don't know what she is talking about.

I put down the spoon and said, "Don't believe it. Zeng Houyi chimes are amazing, but have you seen chimes made of meteorite? They were from the Western Zhou Dynasty."

"What is meteorite?" Xiaomei asked.

"Meteorite, you can understand it as a kind of meteorite. Now some people specialize in collecting this kind of thing. In fact, thousands of years ago, the ancients began to recognize this kind of thing. Some people used meteorite iron to make meteorite swords. If you have time, you can go to the museum to take a look."

Xiaomei said suspiciously: "Really? The ratio of bronze alloys is different, which will affect the tone of the wooden hammer when it hits. Have you heard of it?"

"Why am I lying to you?"

"You have such a good relationship with Mr. Gan, I won't lie to you," I looked around and whispered, "Do you know the mustard?"

"What monkey?"

"Hey, it's not a monkey, it's a mustard, a mustard of mustard! The king's a moment!"

"Must-Surfing belt! The meteoric iron chimes that are the most powerful. I have heard the original sound and can't forget it."

As I spoke, I recalled the experience I had with Sister Hong at the foot of the Moth Mountain. As I thought about it, I fell into memories.

“Hey? Hey?”

Xiaomei patted my shoulder.

"What are you thinking?"

"I didn't think about anything, by the way, the last chime was not perfect, so he must be very disappointed."

Xiaomei sighed and said, "Yes, besides boxing, his only hobby is this set of copy clocks. He said one thing, hoping that he could bring this set of copy clocks to the coffin after he died. I felt very uncomfortable when I heard it."

I touched my chin and thought for a while, and whispered, "I feel that it's just a little bit short. Isn't the key in your bag? Why don't we adjust it?"

My idea is this. This thing is very important to Mr. Gan. Now he has encountered a problem. If I can help him solve this problem, it will undoubtedly fulfill his biggest wish for him.

This is undoubtedly a good opportunity.

Mr. Gan is happy and will definitely protect me.

What is Wu Le? Who dares to touch me Xiang Yunfeng? I will walk sideways on the road.

When he heard me say I wanted to adjust the chime, Xiaomei immediately shook her head: "No, definitely not. I don't dare, I don't dare. I just slip my hand and I can't use it if I lift the No. 7 bell. It's time-consuming and laborious to do it, and it's very troublesome. Moreover, Master Xiang Guang has been in poor health after being hospitalized last year."

I said Xiaomei, you can't think like this. If you do it, you have to do the whole set perfectly. What does it mean to be almost the same? I have heard similar voices with my own ears, and I can help you.

"Besides, are you willing? Also, can't you see the disappointment hidden in Mr. Gan's heart?"

"Does the handsome guy still need to add soup?" At this time, the boss and sister shouted at me.

I handed over the bowl and said, "Fill it."

It was brought up quickly, and I kept stirring the mutton soup with a spoon. Xiaomei fell into deep thought and I didn't bother her.

A few minutes later, Xiaomei spoke, "Or who would be talking to me?"

I immediately shook my head: "No, he will definitely not agree if you say it. Let's work together to adjust the last bell, and he will definitely be happy when he knows it."

Seeing that Xiaomei was a little interesting, I kept brainwashing her and finally moved her.

The singing and dancing troupe ended at 12 o'clock, and we casually called a taxi and returned to the Blue Sky Hotel. The security guard at the door met Xiaomei, and no one cared about us when we got down the basement.

Xiaomei found the key from her bag and opened the door on the second floor of the underground.

"Bang." She pressed the switch on the wall.

There was no one in the room, only a row of wooden frames, and three groups of bronze chimes hung on the wooden frames without moving.

When I stood here again in the middle of the night, I felt a different feeling again, and I couldn't say it.

I found the 7th bell to untie the rope, and I took it off with my hands.

Xiaomei dragged a wooden board. The thickness of the wooden board is about ten centimeters, and there are two grooves on each side, which just stuck the chimes and remained motionless. This board is a professional dialing board for tuning.

Put the clock facing the groove, there is an iron bucket in the corner, and there is a wiring board and electric grinding wheel in the bucket.

Xiaomei disassembled the power supply and plugged the cable, and tried the electric grinding wheel.

"Wum" has electricity, and the grinding wheel is normal.

I said I'm steady, I'll make it hard, please help me listen.

Xiaomei said I'd better fight. You haven't done it before, and I'm afraid you won't be able to master the strength.

She said: "Have you heard a similar perfect sound? If you say you stop, I will stop immediately."

I said yes, let's start.

There is a place on the inside of the chime that is the tuning area. Professionals call this place the eyebrow area. The eyebrow is the eyebrow of the eyebrows. After grinding it thins, the positive drum sound and side drum sound produced by the tap will change.

To be on the safe side, Xiaomei brought a decibel instrument. The decibel instrument is a white box the size of a palm. She was afraid of human ear mistakes, so she put this thing next to the chime to monitor the pitch.

"Start?" Xiaomei took a deep breath and held the grinding wheel very steadily.

I nodded and said let's start.

She used the grinding wheel to reach the eyebrow area on the inside of the chime, grind it up and down, and then quickly took it out, and it was very fast.

I said you've got it done? It's too fast.

Xiaomei said I had a rub, let's be more careful, it's a little bit short.

"state"

"state"

Xiaomei used a small wooden hammer to hit the front side respectively.

I closed my eyes, my ears moved, and listened carefully.

"No change, you must have not been able to get it right just now. Come on, try some harder, I'll let you stop, you're stopping."

Xiaomei turned on the electric grinding wheel and started grinding again.

"Don't stop! Keep grinding!"

"stop!"

I shouted, and she immediately pulled out the grinding wheel, sweating on her forehead, nervously sweating. Those who didn't know thought she was dismantling the bomb.

"Try knocking," I said.

Xiaomei knocked twice, and after a moment, her face suddenly became very happy.

"Regular and sidetone!"

"High! All are high!"

I smiled and said, "Yes, but it's just a little higher. Follow the steps just now and then, the most perfect seventh-order tone will be."

Xiaomei was excitedly saying yes, let’s do it again, this time it will definitely succeed. If you stop, I will stop.
