Chapter 102 The dog-beating stick
After the construction started outside the Golden Light Gate, Xu Qilin planned to design some exotic houses to attract Hu merchants from many concentrated western cities.
Scarlett didn't quite understand Xu Qilin's thoughts, nor did he know his future plans, but Xu Qilin's confidence still infected her and made her trust her own son firmly.
Xu Qilin picked up the drink and took a sip, and asked, "I will take Chen Datie and the others to the house to work for a few days tomorrow. Will you go with me?"
Scarlett nodded without thinking, "Where will Alang go, I will serve you."
The Xianglu workshop on the village is about to expand production, and Mr. Xu is in charge of the order there, and he has done almost the same. Xu Qilin will take people up and strive to complete it all within three or five days.
Of course, the improvement of the Xianglu manufacturing process requires Xu Qilin to be personally directed, and the equipment created in the blacksmith shop must also be transported.
To upgrade the fragrance dew, in addition to the current steam distillation method, Xu Qilin is preparing to add organic solvent extraction method. In this way, the fragrance dew produced is more volatile and has a stronger and more pure fragrance.
The organic solvent that can be easily produced is that it is wine that is close to alcohol. With distillation equipment, the purification of wine is not a problem.
Because His Majesty Li Er helped scare away the coveted person, this matter must be hidden. Which one invisible guy dares to reach out in the future?
Without any worries, Xu Qilin certainly had to do his best and make a fortune in Xianglu's huge profit-making project.
"Alang, what are those children doing?" Scarlett pointed at the refugee children in the wilderness in the distance and asked curiously.
Xu Qilin looked at it and said, "You are digging wild vegetables or picking up firewood."
Scarlett blinked and said, "The wild vegetables are delicious even if they are mixed."
Not only are wealthy and noble families occasionally taste fresh and eat some wild vegetables, but in history, even the emperors ate it, and it is called "experience the sufferings of the people".
But I have to admire the idea of how wild vegetables are made. I first put them into the goose's belly and steam them, and then put them on a plate for the emperor to taste.
When the emperor eats it, hey, it tastes good! Who said that ordinary people eat bitter food? Is it okay if I add some taxes?
Xu Qilin smiled bitterly and said, "That's made by our family, with oil and ingredients, carefully prepared. They dug wild vegetables and cooked them into porridge with rice. It tastes like-"
Seeing Xu Qilin shook his head, Scarlett knew that the taste was definitely not good. If the wild vegetable porridge was delicious, wouldn’t everyone come to dig it out and leave it to refugee children?
"Failure, escape, as long as you don't starve to death, it's good luck!" Xu Qilin sighed and stood up and said, "Let's go, follow me back to the city, there are still some things to do!"
Scarlett packed up the paper and pen books, followed Xu Qilin towards the carriage, but involuntarily looked at the refugee children who were busy with their belly in the wild.
The two of them had just walked far away when a rapid barking of dogs came over. Scarlett was a little panicked and reached out to grab Xu Qilin's arm.
"I'm not afraid, I'm there!" Xu Qilin hurriedly protected the girl behind her.
As the dog barking was getting closer, Xu Qilin picked up a branch and prepared to protect the flowers.
The sound of chaotic footsteps sounded, a beggar-like child, with disheveled hair, torn clothes, and tears and nose. He held a small stick and turned around and cried from time to time to drive away the wild dogs he was chasing. However, the cake in his hand was not left to his mouth, and he ran and ate, which seemed to be anxious.
When Xu Qilin and Scarlett approached, the little beggar ran away anxiously and fell on the ground, throwing out the sticks and cakes in his hand.
But soon, the little beggar cried and got up, grabbed the cakes from the ground and sent them into his mouth, grabbed the dirt with one hand and threw them at the wild dog, rolling and crawling towards Xu Qilin and Scarlett.
"Yoho--Get out." Xu Qilin screamed strangely, waved the branches and went up to him, using the peerless dog-beating stick technique. I hit, I hit, I hit, I hit, I hit, I hit, I hit, I hit, I hit, I hit, I hit, I hit, I hit, I hit, I hit, I hit, I hit, I hit.
But the voice helps the stick, and this struggle is amazing.
The wild dog immediately restrained his fierce attitude, his eyes were dull, he retreated step by step, whimpered, and then howled, and ran away with his tail between his legs.
Humph, the paper tiger is only screaming fiercely. If you don’t hit it, it will not fall.
Xu Qilin was still unsatisfied and turned the weapon in his hand into Li Feishou and threw it out. Sure enough, and another whine of a dog was heard in his ears.
Xu Qilin patted his hand and turned around proudly, but found that Scarlett was not watching his performance at all, but was loving the little beggar.
"Hey, hey, you're far away." Xu Qilin ran two steps away and pulled Scarlett away, pointing to the little beggar's barefoot and the scars on his exposed calves. "I didn't see that I was bitten by a dog, be careful to infect you!"
Rabies is so terrible. Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, there will be many dangers in later generations.
"Alang, he's a girl!" Scarlett probably didn't understand what Xu Qilin was saying, and was still looking at the little beggar with loving eyes.
"Okay, we should leave." Xu Qilin took out a few copper coins and stuffed them to the little beggar, pulled Scarlett and left.
"Poor." Scarlett turned around while walking, and said to the little beggar: "Come on, sister, bring you some hot food."
"Hey, you--" Xu Qilin was speechless.
It’s not that he is hard-hearted, but he is indeed scared of rabies. He worked in an agricultural technology promotion station in his previous life and often went to the countryside to fight dogs. He also saw patients with rabies attacks, which was really scary.
Hey, the little beggar is really following you. Forget it, give me some more food and let me pass it away!
When she returned to her car, Scarlett took a few Hu cakes, which were made of meat stuffing in the middle, and handed them to the little beggar, who took them timidly.
"Okay, we should leave!" Xu Qilin got into the carriage, squeezed Scarlett into it, and urged the coachman.
"Poor." Scarlett sighed softly, looked at Xu Qilin and said, "Alang, what did you say just now? I was bitten by a dog, what did you spread?"
"Where is it infecting?" Xu Qilin popularized Scarlett's knowledge of rabies and said, "It's not that I don't have kindness, it's just that it depends on the situation. I'm afraid something will happen to you."
"So that's how it is." Scarlett lit his little head, knowing that Alang cared about him, and said very happily, "I just missed that little girl. She almost lost her life for a piece of cake. When I think about it, I feel so uncomfortable."
"I know, you are kind and soft-hearted, I like it very much!" Xu Qilin reached out and touched Scarlett's head and said, "If you want to do good deeds, we can also open a porridge shed, which will be managed by you."
"Okay!" Scarlett's little head was lit happily.
OK, this can be considered as letting Scarlett practice his skills first. A porridge shed can not spend much money and can still gain a good reputation.
