"Smack, smack!" I saw Steward Li open the door and clapped his palms.
But I saw two old men carrying them into the two boxes together, but I saw that they were about forty or fifty years old, probably because they had been bending over for a long time, their backs were hunched, their faces were carved with deep wrinkles, their eyes were full of dung, and their hands were covered with thick calluses, and it was obvious that these two were craftsmen.
Everyone looked at the box curiously, what was inside?
After the craftsman put down the box, he looked at Steward Li and said nothing, but he didn't speak.
Steward Li said with an embarrassed face, "Shaodong, these two craftsmen don't know very well what these things they have made, and they want to ---------" Looking at Ming Zhongxin, who had a sinking face, he didn't dare to say any more.
"Just now I praised you for understanding the principle of confidentiality, but now you are so ignorant! Actually inquire into trade secrets! Damn it! Ming Zhongxin's cruel eyes stared at Steward Li.
"Shaodong, these two craftsmen have been working in the Ming family for decades, and there have been workshops to win them over, and none of them have betrayed the Ming family, so there is definitely no problem in terms of loyalty, so ------" Steward Li lowered his head and explained boldly.
Ming Zhongxin's face became more and more gloomy, this is not a question of loyalty or disloyalty, but Steward Li actually put his orders behind him, which is unforgivable! As a big family, there are some rules that must be followed!
"Yes, these two are indeed loyal to my Ming family!" Ming Zhongyuan changed to intercede.
Steward Li immediately raised his head and looked at Ming Zhongyuan gratefully, and then saw Ming Zhongxin's cruel eyes, so he was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head and pretended to be pitiful.
Brother Ming Zhong Xinchong nodded, indicating that he understood. "Steward Li, my brother pleads for you, I will spare you this time, but the big sin is forgiving, the small sin is unforgivable, you will be fined two months' salary, and it will be handed over to Mr. Shi tomorrow, can you be convinced?"
"Yes, yes!" Although Steward Li was punished, he was relieved, and the eyes of the young owner were too terrible!
The two craftsmen were also very embarrassed to stand in the local area, they also knew that it was very taboo to inquire about the affairs of the owner, but as a craftsman, when they saw unknown things, the feeling of itching was too uncomfortable, so they asked Steward Li to be accommodating and bring them here, but they didn't expect to bring such a heavy punishment to Steward Li, and almost smashed Steward Li's job, at this time, he also sincerely regretted it, and bowed down with guilt to retreat.
"Stop, since the clan brother thinks that you are loyal, there is no need to avoid you, but I hope there will be no next time, you should not inquire, you must not inquire in the future, otherwise you will not be able to afford the consequences! Do you understand? ”
Although the two craftsmen were already old, they also broke out in a cold sweat in the face of Ming Zhongxin's cold words, and hurriedly bowed down and said yes.
"Since you want to know, take it out!" Ming Zhongxin turned into a warm smile and gave a stick to a sweet date, Ming Zhongxin is still very skillful, after all, it is inevitable to trouble these skilled craftsmen in the future, and it can't be too offended, and these things are not a big deal, so they should be bought as a thousand dollars.
The two craftsmen glanced at each other in surprise, they had already broken off this idea, but they didn't expect the peak to turn around, and they could see it again, this risk was not in vain!
They hurriedly and carefully removed five or six wooden parts from the box near the door.
As soon as Ming Zhongxin saw these things, he immediately stood up, came to the front, and fiddled with them one by one, but saw that under Ming Zhongxin's skillful hands, a box with a handle was ready.
"Come on, try!" Ming Zhongxin pointed to the shopkeeper Wu and said.
"Me?" Shopkeeper Wu asked by pointing at himself with his index finger.
"Hurry up!" Ming Zhongxin said reluctantly.
"Grab the handle!"
"Pull back and forth!"
The shopkeeper Wu pulled the handle like a marionette, but only saw a gust of wind blowing out from the side of the box, no matter whether the shopkeeper Wu pushed forward or pulled back, the wind blew out from the side nozzle.
Everyone looked at this box in amazement, and the shopkeeper Wu who pushed and pulled the box was even more incredible. Including Steward Li and the two craftsmen, they didn't expect to make such a magical thing with their own hands.
"What is this, and what is it for?" Ming Zhongyuan asked.
"This is a sharp tool I prepared for the kitchen, the previous blower was too backward, I made an improvement, called the stove bellows: a device that is controlled by pushing and pulling back and forth by hand, used to blow the air and make the fire vigorous. It is assembled from a set of components such as a box, a block plate, a push-pull rod, a tongue and an air outlet. The bellows are placed on the flat ground on the right side of the stove, the top is slightly oblique and flat to cover a slightly larger stone slab or wooden plank, and the air outlet is aimed at the air inlet under the stove, just like the Wu shopkeeper, pull this handle, push and pull back and forth, and the wind will be generated, which will be blown into the bottom of the stove through the air duct, so that the fire is strong and can better copy the dishes. ”
Shopkeeper Wu's eyes lit up, and he first thought that this was not to allow the chef to better grasp the size of the heat, and the dishes in the recipes of the Shaodong family needed to be made with more accurate use of the heat, so the Shaodong family thought so thoughtfully!
Ming Zhongyuan thought that this skill must not be mastered by other restaurants, otherwise wouldn't it be a wedding dress for others!
The two craftsmen pondered, it turned out that this was used to blow wind, so could it be improved to make other utensils?
Steward Li thought that the young owner was providing utensils for the restaurant, but it couldn't be sold to the outside world, so wouldn't I make wedding clothes for the shopkeeper Wu!
Fu Bo looked at Ming Zhongxin with satisfaction, and the young master added a century-old skill to the Ming family!
Mr. Shi sighed again, this is okay, what else will the young owner not do?!
"Yes, the sealing and interface are quite in line with the standard, okay, according to the size of the kitchen stove in the restaurant, you can do more, spare!" Ming Zhongxin commanded.
Steward Li and the two craftsmen said in unison.
The two craftsmen were about to open the second box, but they heard Ming Zhongxin instruct, "Move this box out of the courtyard." ”
The craftsmen moved out of the courtyard and took out an iron bucket (two sides open, two layers above and below, the upper opening had a one-foot-high bracket and a small opening below), an iron gourd, which looked a little strange, with only one belly, and a hole on the top of the belly, which was plugged with a wooden stopper, and a handle next to the gourd's belly (with a circle of wood wrapped around the handle), and a long neck only the thickness of a thumb on it, and a hollow iron pipe and a meat pipe made of pig urine bubbles.
Ming Zhongxin looked at these objects, and snickered for a while, try it!
"Fu Bo go and ask his subordinates to bring some firewood and a few jars of wine!" Ming Zhongxin commanded while assembling.
Could it be that this item has something to do with wine? Everyone looked at Ming Zhongxin with doubts.
I saw that he first put the iron bucket on the ground, put the iron gourd on the support, removed the wooden stopper on the gourd, put it on the table, and then put one end of the meat pipe on the mouth of the long neck, and the other end on the iron pipe mouth, the iron pipe mouth was tilted downward, and a wooden basin was placed below.
At this time, Fauber asked the servants to bring firewood and wine.
Ming Zhongxin took the firewood, threw them from the stand into the iron bucket, and then poured a jar of wine from the mouth of the gourd into the gourd, and then stuffed the mouth tightly with a wooden stopper.
"Bring the firewood!" Ming Zhongxin clapped his hands and said.
Everyone looked expectantly at the unknown strange object.
