Chapter 1757 A Jis New Fire Kang

Gao Lei ignored her and said, "Just cry. One day you will be grateful to me."

After that, we had a leisurely meal, chatting and laughing with Gu Jinli, Kuangshi, and Hanshi.

Ji Zhenniang saw that everyone was laughing and eating, but Han asked Sister Yu to come over to comfort her. She cried for a while, then she couldn't cry anymore, and started to eat the meal angrily.

While eating, he couldn't hold it in any longer and went to talk to Gu Jinli and the others. After a while, he started giggling again.

Xie Cheng and the others were eating at another table. When he saw that she was crying, he did not come over to persuade her, but he paid attention to her from time to time. When he saw her smiling, he felt relieved.

"Thank you Baihu, look at you..." Jin Baihu looked funny and wanted to make a joke about thanking him, but he opened his mouth and shut up again, for fear that his inappropriate teasing would offend Gao Leishi.

Gao Lei didn't call him tonight for the farewell meal in the Lei family's courtyard. He came to it by himself, so he had to behave himself.

What? Xie Cheng turned around and asked.

Jin Baihu laughed and said, "It's nothing. I just saw that you didn't drink much wine in front of you. I felt it was a pity. I want to ask you if you want to drink it. If you don't drink it, just give it to me. I'd like this sip."

There is a shortage of food in the northwest, and the government controls the brewing of grain wine, so it is difficult to buy grain wine. Even if the Lei family caravan got a batch, they were reluctant to drink it. Today, they brought out a jar, and a group of men only got one bowl each. .

After hearing this, Xie Cheng naturally gave him the wine, but not all of it, only half of it.

Jin Baihu happily took it and sighed in his heart. After Xie Cheng followed Qin Sanlang, he began to feel dark. If he had put it aside before, Xie Cheng would definitely give him the whole bowl of wine. Now he knows to keep most of it for himself. .

This does not seem to be a big deal, but it can be seen from a small perspective. Jin Baihu understood. Xie Cheng wanted to tell all Baihu at the table that he was not stupid and should not take advantage of him at every turn.

But now Jin Baihu just wants to have a good relationship with Xie Cheng and the others, so naturally he doesn't want to harm or take advantage of Xie Cheng.

This farewell meal was for lunch. After eating for more than half an hour, Gao Lei said: "Let's go after eating. I'm going to take a nap."

He then told Gu Jinli and the others: "Think carefully about it when you get back. If there is anything you have missed, fix it as soon as possible before setting off."

"Yes, we understand." Gu Jinli responded, but did not leave.

When everyone had finished leaving, Gao Lei looked at her and asked, "What are you still doing here?"

Is there anything you can say in private?

Gu Jinli came over and held her hand, smiling and saying, "I'll take a nap with you. I'll miss the days when we slept together when the city was besieged."

The corners of Gao Lei's mouth twitched, never expecting that this was the reason why she stayed.

However, my heart was still warm, and I acquiesced to Gu Jinli's stay.

They said they were taking a nap together, but they had to part ways. Gao Lei couldn't sleep, so he asked her, "Don't you like Ah Ji very much?"

Gu Jinli was stunned and said, "I really don't like him, but who told you this?"

Gao Lei: "Does this really matter? Since I met you, you have asked Dadi, Achuan and others several times about their situation, but you have never asked Aji. He followed Dadi to your house to buy spices. , Ive been an acquaintance for several years, and you didnt even ask him, why dont you hate him? Whats wrong with you?

Gu Jinli sighed: "Aunt Lei, you are such a perceptive person, you can guess all this." Gao Lei said with a sigh: "Just tell the truth if you have any festivals... I won't pretend to be with you, I treat you as your own. As your grandchildren will treat you, you treat me well, but I will favor you."

This is to tell her that even if she has a problem with Ah Ji, she can safely say that she will not side with Ah Ji.

Gu Jinli told her story about her affair with Ah Ji, and then said: "In fact, he has never really harmed me. I just feel that he is different from what he is and wants to harm me in the future."

Gu Jinli felt that these words were a bit excessive, so he added: "Maybe I am too cautious."

After hearing this, Gao Lei was silent for a while and said, "I just feel that he looks down on you. He gets along well with you in front of other people, but when you are behind the scenes, he comes to you and says something derogatory to you... Okay, I understand. , if he asks about you, I wont say much."

Gu Jinli was very grateful and asked: "Aunt Lei, you always ask about my relationship with Aji suddenly, but he has sent a letter, or is he coming to the northwest?"

Gao Lei nodded: "I sent a letter. I originally wanted to rush here, but I was delayed by the affairs in Dongqing and I didn't make it in time."

As expected, Gu Jinli felt a little unhappy as he was coming over, and he really didnt want to have contact with Ah Ji.

But if you know yourself and your enemy, you will be victorious in any battle. She asked some about A Ji's affairs in Northeast and Dongqing.

Gao Lei told her once.

When Gu Jinli heard that Aji was improving the hot kang in the Northeast, he was surprised: "It's the kind that's connected to the stove and will heat up when you heat the kang. It won't be smoked and can keep the house warm in winter." The fire bed?

There was a fire kang in Dachu, but this fire kang was different from the modern ones. After building a kang, they added charcoal or firewood to the kang. It was similar to how they dug pits and used the residual heat of the fire to bake their carriages to keep them warm when they were on the road. It was very The rough earth kang is very smoky and scorching. Although people sleeping on this kind of kang will not freeze to death, they will be very uncomfortable and may cause lung disease.

Gao Lei was surprised: "You actually know."

Gu Jinli was even more surprised, how did Ah Ji make such a fire bed? This kind of modern fire pit looks simple, but the problem of the flue involved requires some engineering skills, otherwise the built fire pit will not be able to exhaust smoke.

Did Ah Ji really wear it?

Gu Jinli had this question in her mind again, and she asked Gao Lei: "Aunt Lei, how did he make such a thing?"

Gao Lei said: "His family started out with armaments, and they have a group of great craftsmen. He said that after he went to the Northeast, he saw that the local people were suffering from the cold, so he studied the old earthen kang with the craftsmen, and then developed Got this new fire kang.

"The new fire kang is very useful. It saves firewood, warms the house, and keeps people alive. The people in the Northeast are very grateful to him. He now has a good reputation there."

Gu Jinli frowned when he heard this, and asked: "Aunt Lei, has Ah Ji ever injured his head or had any serious illness, and then his temperament changed drastically?"

Is it to be worn?

After hearing this, Gao Lei looked at her with an expression that was hard to explain: "I know you don't want to see Ah Ji, but you can't expect him to suffer either."

After speaking, he added: "He was born in an uncle's house, and he is a young son. He has been served by a large group of slaves since he was a child. I have never heard of any serious illness in him."

This is strange.

Could it be that she is overthinking it? Ah Ji is either a clothes-wearer or a native. He knows how to add spices to soybean oil to enhance the fragrance and how to improve the fire kang, all because of his own clever thinking?

Gu Jinli did not dare to underestimate the ancients. The great craftsmen at the Ministry of Industry were very powerful. Maybe the new fire kang was actually developed by Ah Ji and the great craftsmen.
