The son crosses every night

Tang Hua and Ruan Shijie used different calendars.

Ruan Shijie used the Gregorian calendar here, but Tang Hua and the others still calculated according to the lunar calendar.

According to the lunar calendar, the second day happens to be June [-]st.

In the new January, the household department also has new arrangements.

Tang Hua was naturally intelligent, and Huan Yiyang saw that he had learned almost the same, so he reported to the superior to let him work alone with the junior officials.

Master Shangshu was very busy and had no time to deal with such trivial matters, so Tang Hua was sent to Liu Shilang's place.

Liu Shilang is also young, only in his thirties, with a fair face and beardless, handsome appearance. Compared with the upright Shangshu, who is not afraid of offending others, he is much more tactful. This tactfulness is not so annoying, but rather a gentleman.

Seeing Tanghua come in, Liu Shilang smiled: "Tianhua, sit down, I will come after I finish approving this official document."

Tang Hua sat down beside him, his eyes calm.

Tanghua's official position is not as good as his, but his title is much higher than him. He is a general of the auxiliary country from the second rank.Liu Shilang saw him sitting on the side, neither humble nor overbearing, so he couldn't help giving him a high look.

When the servants of the Piange saw Tang Hua coming in, they hurriedly poured tea for him.

Liu Shilang quickly finished processing the official document in hand, he lifted his hem, walked to the side seat and sat down, and Yanhua stood up to greet him.

Liu Shilang stretched out his hand to make a posture of pressing down, and asked with a concerned smile, "Tianhua has been here for almost a month, right? Are you still used to it?"

"I'm used to it." Tang Hua said, "Thank you adults for taking care of me."

"Where? I've been busy with paperwork recently, so I don't have time to take you with me personally. Forgive me." Liu Shilang said with a smile: "I heard Huan Yiyang say that you have a good understanding and quick hands-on, and you should have learned about the same?"

Tang Hua hurriedly humbly said, "Master Huan praises you absurdly."

After drinking a cup of tea, Liu Shilang went to the topic, "Yuanwailang's job is to judge the amount of rents and taxes in the world, the abundance of products, the benefits of water and land roads, you may have gotten started?"

Tang Hua nodded, he has studied for so long, these are not difficult, there are small officials on the left and right, and there are colleagues, and the rules have been set by the superiors, and he will just follow the rules, and there will be no major troubles.

Seeing him nodding, Liu Shilang said gently: "In this case, you will officially take office this month, and I will send someone to send you the seal later, so you can work in Yiyin's room."

Tang Hua responded, "Yes."

"If you have any questions, you can ask Huan Yiyang or me."

Tang Hua thanked: "Thank you, sir."

After Liu Shilang explained the business, he encouraged him, and then let him go back.

Huan Yiyang was waiting in his Yiyin room, saw him coming in, and said: "Congratulations, Mr. Gu."

Tang Hua grinned, "I have to thank Mr. Huan these days."

"You are Welcome."

The two looked at each other with a smile, and Tang Hua said: "This time, let's go out and have a drink. I'm bothering Mr. Huan these days."

"Sure, I'm also going to have a drink. You haven't caught the wind for you when you come here, so let's go for a drink."

At the beginning of the month, Huan Yiyang also had a lot of troubles on his head. He asked the six little officials standing outside the door to come in, "From now on, you will follow Mr. Gu."

A group of petty officials should be, Yan Hua looked at this group of petty officials of different heights, shorts, fats and thins, and nodded.

"Call someone if you have something to do." Huan Yiyang said: "I still have a lot of things to do, so I'll go back first."

Tang Hua smiled: "I'll send Master Huan off."

Tang Hua took on new people and new tasks this day, so he was much busier than usual, when he went out at noon, it was already [-]:[-] noon, he was so tired that he was dizzy.

When He Hua saw him coming out, she hurriedly stepped forward to support him, "Young master."

"It doesn't have to be like this." Tang Hua pushed his hand away, not wanting to show weakness, he climbed into the car by himself, wiped his sweat, "It's really hot today."

He Hua said: "There are sour plum soup and various pastries in the carriage, you should fill them up first. Can you go back to your residence today?"

"If you don't come back, go out of the city first and go to the village to have a look."

They are still working on the dark Ruiwen, and Tang Hua intends to go to see how the progress is today.

As the weather is so hot, it will soon be overwhelmed and then decline. If you delay for one more day, the days when you can sell fragrant cloud gauze will be shortened.

After thinking for a while, Tang Hua said again: "Go to the grocery store first, see where there is green vitriol, and buy some."

He Hua quickly responded.

Tang Hua was growing up, so he couldn't help being hungry. He ate five or six yuan of snacks and drank half a water bag of sour plum soup.

It's coming to Xiaoshu soon, the sun is shining brightly, and pedestrians on the street are afraid of the sun, so they walk in the shadows.

Tang Hua poked his head out to see Lei Xing who was riding a horse and waited for several guards, and beckoned them to come up.

Lei Xing hurried forward, "Master?"

Tang Hua signaled to rein in the horse and stop, "The sun is too big, so don't let it dry out. Lei Xing, come and sit next to He Hua, and the rest go back to the mansion."

Lei Xing said in a low voice: "Young master, this is not quite in line with the rules."

Tang Huaman didn't care, "It's okay, let's do it like this, you are good at skills, you don't need too many people to follow."

Lei Xing couldn't resist him, so he had to make a gesture, call the deputy to come up, and tell them to go back first.

As the heat was sweltering, Tang Hua asked He Hua to drive the carriage to find several grocery stores, and finally bought green vitriol in a pharmacy that sold medicinal herbs.

They didn't have much green vitriol, only about twenty catties, and it was all rounded up by Tanghua, and then the carriage drove to the suburban village.

It was so hot that the villagers did not rest.

He Zi couldn't get out the An Ruiwen, and He Zi got a little angry, and there were several big blisters on the corners of his mouth.

He Zi is sixteen this year, and He Hua is fifteen. They were very thin when they first followed Tang Hua, but now they are a bit more open, but they are not considered strong.

There was no one available around him, so he asked Zhuangtou to assist He Zi, and then let him take the lead.

The brothers He Zi and He Hua are more than loyal, but lacking in ability, they still need to be tempered.

Tang Hua saw that He Zi was not doing well, so he didn't blame him, but only ran to this side from time to time.

Seeing this, He Zi felt even more guilty, blaming himself for being incompetent in his heart, and being more attentive to his errands.

Seeing him coming up to meet him, Tang Hua said, "Move down the green vitriol, and find a clean pot that won't be stained with oil, it will be useful later."

He Zi hurriedly bent down and moved forward to remove the green vitriol.

He Hua said, "My lord, shall I ask the cook to cook some dishes for lunch?"

"Success." Tang Hua waved his hand and followed He Zi, "Can you buy the gold leaf?"

"I bought it. I went to buy it with shopkeeper Lin this morning, and asked the shopkeeper of Baolinzhai to take it offline."

"OK, let me see the gold leaf."

He Zi hurriedly led him there.

Gold leaf is expensive, and they sold it for five catties. The golden gold leaf is packed in a box, and the guards here in Biezhuang are focusing on guarding it.

Tang Hua stretched out his hand and picked up a handful of gold leaf and looked at it for a while. Seeing the glittering and dazzling gold, he nodded and said, "OK, I'll use these for now."

He put the box back and asked again: "Can I buy pigskin, cowhide, etc.?"

"I bought it, and it has been soaked in lime milk." He Zi didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly took Tang Hua to see it.

Tang Hua stirred it with a stick, and nodded after looking at it carefully, "Let's make green vitriol in the afternoon."

While they were talking, the cook had already prepared the meals.

Tang Hua took Lei Xing and the others to have a simple meal first, and then took He Zi, He Hua and a few loyal and honest servants to light a fire in the yard to make sulfuric acid.

Tanghua only taught them how to cook, and did not go forward. After getting ready, everyone in the yard covered their noses with a thick cotton towel that had been dipped in water, and asked them to take a thick wooden pot cover, carefully Calcined green vitriol.

This stove is specially used for steaming silk and other things. There is a bellows under the stove.

They were outside, the sun was shining brightly at their feet, the weather was extremely hot, and the fire was like a steamer.

Soon, the green vitriol in the pot gave off a pungent smell.

Tang Hua told them to be careful.

He Zi and He Hua were terrified when they saw it, He Zi persuaded: "My lord, why don't you go and sit in the living room first, and the villain will call you after the green alum is calcined?"

"No, you just burn it." Tang Hua remained unmoved, "Substitute, add fire, stand as far away as possible, don't get close."

They do not use spatulas for calcining green vitriol, but use long sticks, and everyone stands extremely far away.

Even so, the stick was blackened by the green alum water after a while, and the servants around were terrified when they smelled the smell, but they dared not speak out because of the presence of the master.

Tang Hua was very calm. Before they could produce the glazed products, he ordered a water tank to be filled with hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid.

The thick pottery water tank was placed aside, and the water in it had already dried up.

After more than an hour, Tanghua asked them to pick up the lid of the pot and took a look from a distance, "It's done, stand far away, slowly pour the salt in, and stir a few more times. What about the bamboo tube? Be careful, and block it with a damp cloth." On the side, collect the smoke inside and pour it into the water."

The servants moved swiftly according to his orders.

The production of gelatin does not require a high concentration of hydrochloric acid, and Tang Hua estimated that this crude production method should be sufficient.

The servants around him didn't know what he was going to do. They just carefully followed the instructions of Tanghua, and introduced the pungent gas into the water. After the gas was injected into the boiled well water, it bubbled and changed color. .

Not to mention anything else, but with a few blows, the servants present all had a little more admiration for Tang Hua from the bottom of their hearts.

Tang Hua saw that the hydrochloric acid was ready and it was still early, so he simply instructed them to make gelatin.

This process lasted until evening, when Tanghua saw the setting sun, he knew that the gates of the city would be closed after returning, so he simply stayed in the other village and asked them to imprint dark Ruiwen overnight.

The autumn cloud pattern has been printed once before, and everyone is very proficient in printing the dark auspicious pattern.

Tanghua asked them to add gelatin and gold leaf to the dye, then stir evenly, and then pulled the long piece of cloth to print patterns little by little.

The overall appearance of the dark pattern is golden, which is an abstract branch and leaf pattern of the word "Fu". Originally, the yellow-brown pigment was printed on the jet-black Xiangyun gauze, which was ordinary, but after adding gold foil, the effect immediately appeared very unusual.

Even under the light of the candles they printed on the lines at night, the dark lines radiate a subtle light, and the atmosphere is abnormal.

The weather is hot, and the dye dries quickly. Tang Hua touched the dried lines and found that the gold foil was glued very firmly.

"It's done?" He Zi looked at Tang Hua blankly, his lips trembling, "Master, is it really done?"

Tang Hua nodded firmly, "It's done."

He Zi burst into tears with a "wow" and shouted, "It's done!"

Tanghua patted him on the shoulder, "The gelatin should be enough, I'm not here, you don't need to make gelatin yourself, just dye the rest of the cloth as much as you can, and try to dye the fragrant cloud of dark Ruiwen before June [-]th." Yarn dyed."

He Zi wiped his eyes vigorously, "Yes! I will definitely live up to your entrustment."

Looking at the cloth, Tang Hua had some thoughts in his heart.

In June, the Holy Admiral took his concubines to the Yunxia Garden outside the city to escape the summer heat, and many favored courtiers and clan relatives would also accompany him. If he had the ability, he could definitely make this into his new product launch event.

The name is not the name, but the operation is the operation. If they succeed in one fell swoop, it will not be difficult for them to earn another 30 taels.

There was an indescribable light in his eyes.

While wiping tears, He Zi saw his young master's eyes that were about to shine, and his heart shivered, feeling deep awe.
