Lao Zhao sat on the thick chair, his calloused hand slowly supported the chair handle, and after thinking for a long time, it seemed to make up his mind, raised his head, and his voice trembled a little: "Master Hou, we lost the formula you gave......"

"What? Lost the formula? Hey, if you lose it, you lose it, what's the big deal! ”

When Xiao Han heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, what he was most worried about was that there was a problem with the ironmaking process, because as far as he knew, there were as many as tens of thousands of weapons created with this technology, and in case of quality problems, the scope and consequences involved were really unpredictable! When the time comes, he, the pioneer of the revolution, will really become a pioneer and be expelled first......

Now I heard that it was just a recipe that was lost, so I was relieved, this formula has always been in Xiao Han's mind, and what was lost was just a piece of paper, even if it was taken by outsiders, what could I do? A primary iron-smelting formula, in Xiao Han's eyes, was not a problem at all, and he was so worried for a long time that it hurt him in vain!

Lao Zhao's head slowly lowered, as if the more Xiao Han was like this, the more he became at a loss: "Master Hou said at the beginning, the people who are officials are bad, we went over at the beginning, the recipe was always kept by ourselves, and the ingredients added were all matched by ourselves, and the people who would be the prisoners had no opinion, but they came to us with delicious food and drink, and called us brothers, we also thought they were all good...... In this way, after a few days, a big official came to the prison, saying that he wanted to record the recipe so as not to lose it, he was a person in the imperial court, a high and powerful position, and there should be no problem with the sum of several of us, so he handed over the formula to him......"

When Lao Zhao said this, his voice gradually deepened, until there was no movement, but Xiao Han, who had been listening carefully, heard a sense of conspiracy from inside.

"And then?" Xiao Han asked out loud.

"Then ......" Lao Zhao suddenly gritted his teeth, "The next day, we went to work, and suddenly the steward said that the last furnace of molten steel was all wasted, let us be responsible, I was in a hurry, I wanted to see what was going on, and the steward stopped me and didn't let it, and then I also felt that there was a problem here, so I couldn't get angry, scolded them a few words, and was kicked out at noon in the name of rushing into Shangguan!" ”

As he spoke, Lao Zhao took out a piece of paper from his arms, got up from his seat, and held it in both hands and gave it to Xiao Han.

Xiao Han stretched out his hand to take it and took a look, there were very few words written on the paper, it was in classical Chinese, Xiao Han took a while to understand, the general meaning was like repatriation, they would be imprisoned and they would be asked to return to their hometown.

Lao Zhao's origin can be said to be the King of Qin, of course, Xiao Han still has an order, and it is not wrong to say that Xiao Han is here.

Putting down the piece of paper, Xiao Han gently tapped the desk with his fingers, he was already here now, his eyes were black and stunned, after this period of adaptation, at least on these issues, he also has some thoughts!

This matter is not complicated, it is even a very simple matter, Xiao Han has heard too many more shameless things than this in his previous life, and it is really not worth mentioning that the simplest deception like this is really not worth mentioning.

But what happens to others is just a story, and once it happens to oneself, no matter how open-minded a person is, he doesn't just smile and pass it......

Xiao Han is like this now, he didn't show anything on the surface, but he was a little angry in his heart, not for this simple formula, but a sense of shame and anger that was played by someone as a monkey!

These days, all the Tang people he saw were polite, and even the black-bellied male prince looked like a hypocrite, but now listening to what the blacksmiths said, it turned out that the Tang Dynasty was not a country of sages with gentlemen everywhere, and yes, in this world, there is black and white, and he was confused by the appearance of the Tang Dynasty.

"Who's that officer? Do you recognize each other?! Xiao Han's tone was a little cold, Xiao Dong and Zizi stood straight behind Xiao Han, motionless, no matter how stupid people were, they could see that Xiao Han was indeed angry.

The blacksmiths below all lowered their heads, not daring to look up at Xiao Han, and someone whispered: "I don't know, but I've heard someone call him Master Pei..."

"Surname Pei?" Xiao Han tapped on the desk, his face was unswerving, at this time, he did not have the side of the second goods in front of Li Shimin and Xue Shu, but really looked like a court official with great power.

The surname Pei belonged to the big surname in the Tang Dynasty, and the generals in the army had the surname Pei, only relying on one surname, there was no way to determine who this person was, and even if he took a step back, even if Xiao Han knew who it was, what could he do? In this world, not everyone needs to give you face, and when you were just a little marquis who didn't even have a fief.

The air was so depressing that the room didn't even pant loudly, only the crisp click sound made by Xiao Han gently tapping on the desk.

After a long time, Xiao Han stopped tapping, although his voice was still a little angry, but it was much better than just now: "Then besides you, who else has been kicked out?" ”

The eldest apprentice of the blacksmith Lao Zhao raised his head and replied hesitantly: "If you go back to the Hou Ye, there is no other ...... We lived like people in the house, and when we went there, we were a little out of place with other craftsmen, and after a few days, we were all together, and other craftsmen didn't talk to us......"

Xiao Han was a little strange when he heard his words, and asked, "Oh? You lived like a human being, and you lived a non-human life before? ”

When the blacksmith Lao Zhao heard this, his tears began to flow uncontrollably, and he said in a trembling voice: "Master Hou, you are merciful from the bottom of your heart, and treat us craftsmen as people, but in the Ministry of Works, it is different in the prison!" Where the artisans are, they are not people, but only animals that can work, and if you look at the situation of the craftsmen, you will understand it all! That's why they dare to take our recipe so blatantly! ”

"In this era, the technical work has been so miserable?" Xiao Han was a little surprised in his heart, and he didn't believe it in his heart, but Lao Zhao couldn't lie to himself!

This is a big problem, compared to the formula, Xiao Han feels that he seems to have encountered something that really needs to be solved!

If you want to do something in Datang, it's not that you can plagiarize two poems or get some money, if so, wait until the day you die, what's the point of thinking about this life?

No, what I want is not these, I want to rely on the development of technology, in this most suitable period for industrial development, to leave all other countries in the world far behind, so that they can't even catch up with the smoke and dust of Datang!

What steppe peoples, what widows, what sticks, all squat for me, disobedient? When you were holding the bow and arrow, Datang had already set up all the cannons! When you charge on horseback, Lao Tzu's tank lets you know what a mayfly shakes a tree, and those who bully us are waiting for me, and Lao Tzu wants you to taste how uncomfortable it is to be beaten backward!

Imagining it in his mind, Xiao Han trembled a little excitedly, Xiao Dong was afraid that Hou Ye would have hysteria again, so he hurriedly pushed him in the back, so that Xiao Han finally retracted his thoughts, sat upright, and spoke again, but his tone was no longer heavy, but there was some lightness in it:"

Forget it, I don't want to, your marquis doesn't have much power now, if he is bullied, he will be bullied, let's not say anything now, Lao Zhao, let me ask you, are you willing to follow me in the future? If you want, I'll go to King Qin to ask for an order, what kind of broken formula is it, we are not rare, why don't we go back and make it better! Let them hold that share as a treasure! ”

Actually, these words are not Xiao Han's whim, this is what Xiao Han has always wanted to do!

Xiao Han is actually not stupid, he can see himself clearly, and he understands that he is not the material for war, especially this kind of ancient battlefield where swords meet!

Instead of going to the battlefield, he was asked to play politics with those politicians, Xiao Han felt that he could directly find a rope to strangle himself, and then change to a cowherd baby to have better fun than him......

If possible, he wants to escape from Chang'an, the future place of right and wrong, to a quiet place, to be a scientific researcher silently, and when his ideas are realized one by one, the world will tremble for him at that time!

Old Zhao with a shocked face looked at Xiao Han blankly, after the formula was taken by someone, he had thought about the scene when he saw Xiao Han again countless times, and even thought about apologizing for his crime with death more than once!

He understands that what he has lost is far from a flirtatious formula! Even if you don't mention this priceless magic formula, Xiao Han's trust in him alone has nowhere to put his decades-old face! If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Han had given a favor, Lao Zhao really wanted to go away, and being a homeless person would be better than the torment in his heart.

It can be said that no matter how absurd Lao Zhao's thoughts are, there is no such thing, one sentence is over, it is really over?

"Master Hou, you? Angry? Lao Zhao's eldest apprentice asked timidly.

Xiao Han glared: "Fart, if you want to follow me, go wash and rest!" I'll make a note of this for the time being, and I'll definitely get it back for you in the future! Also, when you have time, you take me to see the prison who will be the prisoner, Master Hou, I have some things to do, and if I do it well, it may be related to the fate of the craftsman in the future, okay, I won't talk too much to you, go clean up, and eat together for a while, since I have gone home, I will think about everything! ”

After that, Xiao Han waved his hand, and Xiaodong behind him hurriedly grabbed it to support Xiao Han, and the two of them walked out of the house together......

This scene is destined to be a scene that the blacksmiths remember for a lifetime, no reprimand, no complaints, just like when they were children, after defeating a fight, the family said to themselves: If you haven't fought, you haven't beaten it, wash your face, eat first, and then beat them when you have energy! ”

Looking at this little marquis, who was much younger than his son, Lao Zhao's vision was a little blurred, until Xiao Han got up and opened the door and went out, and the light from the door* finally made Lao Zhao sober up.

Some trembling stood up, the blacksmiths around him had a whimper, the sky was cloudy for a day, and in this evening time, there was a light of the setting sun secretly revealed in the dark clouds, just like Lao Zhao's heart, there was a ray of light in the darkness.

Solved the problem of the blacksmith, maybe half of the problem, Xiao Han decided not to think about these bullshit problems that happened today, went out, turned his sore neck, twitched his nose twice, and then followed the fragrance to the back kitchen, and it is more important to solve the problem of food and clothing first......

The kitchen of the Xiao family is big, big...... It is several times larger than the house that Xiao Han rented in his previous life, of course, that kennel is indeed a little small, now think about it, Lao Tzu's money and treasured 64G seeds don't know how cheap that livestock is thought about It hurts faintly in my heart......

Neck pain, foot pain, thigh pain, plus heartache, Xiao Han felt almost a waste...... I came to the door, sighed and looked inside, but the mood was immediately better!

Because Xiao Han was seeing the straw tray placed on the stove and holding dumplings.

The dumplings with white flowers are lined up vividly, like soldiers waiting for review, and they can't bear to put them in the pot!

And these dumplings, one by one, are better than what Xiao Han made at the beginning, they can do it like this, like a work of art, and the chef is hard work at first glance!

You must know that when Xiao Han taught the fat chef, under the big hands like a pair of pig's trotters, the dumplings pinched out, eh, that thing should be called buns, that is called a miserable one, made at night, the whole family ate a pot of soup and meatballs, and those embryos even praised the deliciousness, but Xiao Han almost didn't lift the pot...... I didn't expect to see it for a few days, and the technology of this dumpling has improved faster than the meat on the chef's stomach!

After reading the dumplings, look at the tumbling soup pot next to it.

The noodles of Baihuahua are twisted in the boiling water in various tricks, and in the other pot, the braised beans and diced eggs and meat can't be more fragrant! Xiao Han, who had eaten pig food for a few days, almost couldn't hold it, leaving 3,000 feet of saliva......

"......" There was a sound of sucking saliva, Xiao Han subconsciously touched his mouth, and suddenly realized that this sound didn't seem to come from himself!

Looking to the side, Xiao Dong and the stunned man who slipped behind him at some point were smirking at him with ripples of saliva ......

"Get out of here...... How can Master Hou come here......"

was picked up, Xiao Han and Xiaodong looked at the fat cook in a daze, it seemed that they didn't know this fat and pig-like cook, they couldn't understand that Xiao Han was still here to teach him to make dumplings two days ago, why did he go out today?
