Early this morning, autumn rain fell in Chang'an City. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Autumn rain is good, and for many poets, it can give them inspiration.

But for the cook of Cuiming Building, the arrival of the autumn rain is a big disaster.

Because of the rain, the firewood in the kitchen was a little damp than usual, and the flint was more difficult to fire, so they had to be patient if they wanted to light the fire.

The person in charge of life is a fat man named Xiaodong, and his daily work is to light a fire and chop wood.

But when the cook of Cuiming Building had prepared all the ingredients to be prepared, he had not yet made a fire, he was a little anxious, and if he delayed the cook's cooking, he would be scolded.

But the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't get angry.

"Damn the rain ......" Xiaodong scolded, and then kept rubbing, but no matter how he rubbed the flint, it was only a little spark, but this spark didn't light firewood at all.

At this time, the cooks walked into the kitchen one after another, when they saw that Xiaodong had not lit the fire, they all frowned slightly, as cooks, they had to cook so many meals every day, in fact, they were very tired, and sometimes they were the same, and they would feel bored, and when people felt bored, their temper would not be very good.

"What's the matter, it's been so long, haven't you lit the fire yet?"

Xiao Dong's forehead snorted coldly, and his hands began to tremble, so that the flint could not be lit.

All the cooks stared at Xiaodong, and Xiaodong felt a lot of pressure.

They didn't say a word, obviously looking for an opportunity to vent the frustration in their hearts.

At this time, Tang Zhou walked in, he saw the scene in front of him, and felt very familiar, when he was cooking, sometimes he felt very bored, what is the meaning of cooking these meals every day?

But then he didn't have this idea, because with the improvement of his status, he would cook less and less every day, and even give a VIP more dishes once a few days, so that food is no longer a burden, but an indescribable preference, and he likes the feeling when cooking.

Tang Zhou's entry made everyone a little surprised, but that Xiaodong was even more panicked, his hand was unstable, and two pieces of flint were thrown to the ground by him, and the flint rolled on the ground, and finally fell to Tang Zhou.

Tang Zhou picked up the flint and looked at it, and then said to the little host: "Get up, I'll help you order." ”

"This ...... I can't help it, little marquis, let's come, I have experience in igniting the fire, it's just that it's raining today, it's just not good. ”

Tang Zhou waved his hand: "I'm sending you something today, you can get up." ”

Xiaodong didn't understand, and he was a little hesitant, at this time, Liu Ziyi suddenly walked in, and after she walked in, she said to Xiaodong: "Master Hou let you come out, you can come out." ”

Liu Ziyi trusted Tang Zhou, and she was also very curious about what Tang Zhou was going to send.

After Tang Zhou sat down, he skillfully put a relatively soft firewood in the stove hole, and then took out the fire fold, and blew it quickly and hard, and a faint fire immediately appeared in the fire fold, and the fire fold was close to the firewood, and soon the firewood was lit.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene, they thought it was simply magic, why did Tang Xiaohou blow it with his mouth, and this thing caught fire?

Everyone understands how much convenience this thing will bring them.

"Little Hou Ye, what is this, it's so powerful." Liu Ziyi is not young, she has already changed from a teenager to a rich woman now, people with conditions like her, there are many men who want to marry her, whether it is a rich businessman or those powerful sons, but she has one person in her heart, and then she can't pretend to be anything else.

So over the years, although there are many people who have pursued her, she has not been tempted by one of them, she only loves Tang Zhou, even if she has no reputation in this life and this life, as long as she can be with Tang Zhou from time to time, she will be satisfied.

Whenever late at night, she can still remember the encounter with Tang Zhou, she was cornered, but Tang Zhou used a toon tofu to help her out, and even killed someone for herself, such a man, she will never meet a second person in her life, and there will be no second person who will treat her so sincerely.

At this time, Liu Ziyi, who was excited, thought of a child, which made Tang Zhou suddenly remember many years ago, many years ago, Liu Ziyi was not so mature, and occasionally cheered like a child.

"This is an improved version of the fire fold, the fire fold is put into the bamboo tube, and after opening, it can be lit by blowing violently, and if you don't use it, cover it, and it will never catch fire."

People who are not highly educated don't know that a palace maid invented a fire fold a hundred years ago, so they thought that this thing was invented by Tang Zhou, and they couldn't help but admire Tang Zhou a little, Tang Zhou didn't bother to explain, and after leaving a few fire folds for Cuiming Building, he went back to the house directly.

But on the afternoon of Tang Zhou's return to the house, Liu Ziyi hurriedly came to the Tang family's manor, and she wanted to ask for a few more fire folds.

This made Tang Zhou feel very strange.

"Running out so quickly?"

Tang Zhou's fire fold left in Cuiming Building is supposed to be able to be used by them for a month, but it has only been half a day, why did Liu Ziyi come?

Liu Ziyi smiled bitterly and said: "The guys in Cuiming Building leaked the news, just at noon, Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong were eating in Cuiming Building, but they rushed to the kitchen, and the few you sent today were all taken away by them." ”

Hearing this, Tang Zhou also smiled bitterly, this fire fold was known by Cheng Yanjin and others, and it was not known all over the city by them to show off, and then his Tang family manor was about to be in the market.

Faced with this situation, he has to think of a way, he can't give the fire fold to these people for nothing, he has to collect some benefits, the cost of making this fire fold is still very high.

After thinking about it, Tang Zhou decided to open a shop in the capital that sold fire folds, so that whoever wanted fire folds could buy them, of course, the price would not be cheap, so the only ones who could afford the fire folds were the court, the magnates and those rich merchants.

Tang Zhou said that he would do it, and on the same day, he ordered someone to open the shop in the capital, and then increased his efforts to make fire folds, and things were indeed as Tang Zhou guessed, after Cheng Yanjin and others got the fire folds, they began to show off everywhere, after all, what can be lit by blowing is really amazing in their opinion.

The praise of these people soon formed a scenery in Chang'an City, and Tang Zhou's fire excerpts naturally became popular in the capital Chang'an, so as soon as the shop selling fire excerpts opened, it immediately attracted the powerful and rich people in the capital to buy them.

Igniting a fire with a fire fold is a symbol of status and fashion in their eyes, which is the same as the fact that some people in later generations used brand-name lighters to light cigarettes.

Huozhizi's business was very good, and Tang Zhou also made a lot of money because of it.
