In the afternoon, Cao Hua accidentally lost all his money and was plotted against by the beauty. He went to the workshop in the secluded streets and alleys of Nancheng without hands.

The workshop was in a courtyard. It was originally a warehouse for a merchant, but he put it down as a factory. Currently, there are ten jewelers in the workshop, all of whom were dug up from various shops with high salaries. Their skills were pretty good. After each person was responsible for one step according to the assembly line, the efficiency was greatly improved. However, jewelry is a fine job, especially jade, which cannot produce too much jewelry in a day. It is enough to take the fine line. If you want to expand your output, you have to find a large number of ordinary workers in your apprenticeship.

In addition to craftsmen, a simple blacksmith shop was built on the left side of the workshop. The three men were covered in black paint and slammed and beat the hammers inside. The blast furnace was built, but the temperature was obviously not enough without cement furnace. A powerful air inlet equipment had to be designed, which is the common "blower". It was imagined to be a foot-type or driven by a water truck. The structure was simple, but there was no suitable place at the moment.

The progress of these things must be calculated based on the years, and will not be mentioned for the time being.

There is a chemical industry zone at the end of the workshop, which is a small house. Two priests from the rivers and lakes were found to do experiments in it. The roads were like mountains. Cao Hua was also a little wiser. He just told them the general process, such as purifying alcohol, etc., and he explored the rest himself. In fact, he didn't know what he could do. As long as he didn't blow up the workshop, he could do it. In order to prevent such a situation, he also made a bluestone wall partition in the middle of the workshop and prepared some masks.

As for the development of firearms, these are military weapons. Cao Hua directly asked Han'er to research and development in Diankuisi, so the money was naturally paid out from his monthly funding. This generation already had firearms such as thunder cannons. The craftsmen in the court were very skilled and their progress was much faster than his private workshop.

The workshop was watched by Liu Laosi's brother Huang Hai, and he patrolled with a few thugs. No one came here normally. Last time, the commercial spies from Wang and Li families ran over to see them a few times. They were taken outside the city to watch the sunrise, which was buried alive and intimidated. No one dared to come after that.

After saying hello to Huang Hai, the guardian of the workshop, Cao Hua returned to Wanbao Tower.

The first core employee gathering was already here in advance.

General Manager Liu Laosi, General Sales Manager Song Changqiu, and R&D and Propaganda Department Manager Huang Hai, to put it bluntly, just a few sluts. The two shop staff took the craftsmen to go there, so he naturally found a place to have a meal to celebrate the shop and became a hit.

As for where to go, Cao Hua originally wanted to go to Guiyun Pavilion, but heard that Li Shishi performed a new song in Minglou today, and Wang Rui and Li Ya and others went to support him, so he went directly to Minglou.

At dusk, the four of them set out from the shop, wearing scholar's robe and holding white paper fans, which was quite like the four talents in Tokyo.

It’s a pity that Cao Hua had a beard, Liu Laosi had a fat face, Huang Hai was a fat man, which means that Manager Song looked like a master. If he added a great official, it would be more appropriate to describe the Five Tigers in Tokyo.

They are all their own team, so Cao Hua naturally won’t ask for so much, it’s all right if you feel good.

------

The night is approaching.

A small street stall is set up in front of Baibaozhai on Yanglou Street.

Su Xiangning, wearing a cloth skirt, opened a wooden shelf under the eaves, placed the pallet on it, and placed ten "grass tips" of various shapes.

The maid Qingguo couldn't afford to eat and closed the stall and fell asleep. She picked up the goods from Wanbaolou and couldn't keep them at home to watch, so she ran to Yanglou Street alone and opened a stall to try to sell.

Jewelry does not require tofu, ten hairpins are worth a thousand taels. If they are stolen, she may really have to pay Mr. Su, so she dares to put them open at the door of Baibaozhai. If you encounter something, you will be able to take care of it.

But Baibaozhai is a place where people want to buy jewelry have already gone to the shops of Wang and Li's houses. Wanbaolou is next door, where guests will come to the street stalls. Even if they come, they are talking about her beauty.

The pedestrians on the street were bustling with people. Su Xiangning sat on a small stool on the street, but she was not in a hurry. She just supported her chin to watch people coming and going, and she didn't care about the occasional strange gaze. No matter how embarrassing a street stall is, it is better than selling laughter in brothels.

"Girl, how do you sell hairpins?"

A slightly joking voice came, and Su Xiangning frowned slightly, thinking that it was the young master who came to meet him again. When she turned around, she saw four rascals in strange clothes standing next to the stall. The scene really scared her.

"Young Master Su, Shopkeeper Song!"

Seeing the person coming clearly, Su Xiangning quickly stood up and stood behind the stall in a little cramped manner: "I...I try to sell it, but I don't dare to go too far...I'm sorry..."

She picked up goods from other people's shop and squatted at the door of other people's shop to sell. She was suspected of smashing the venue. She knew that Mr. Su didn't care, but she still said sorry.

Cao Hua gently shaking the folding fan: "Go back, stay here and waste time. You have to choose a place to sell things."

Su Xiangning nodded slightly, looking a little shy: "It's okay, it's good to learn for the first time... Mr. Su, where are you going?"

"Li Shishi plays the song tonight, and then go and see if Miss Su wants it..."

Speaking of this, Cao Hua felt something was wrong. If someone invited the girl to visit the brothel, this is not a harsh criticism.

But Su Xiangning blinked and smiled slightly: "I haven't been to Minglou for a long time... If Mr. Su doesn't mind, I want to hear Shishi's new songs too..."

Cao Hua naturally didn't mind. He wasn't going to prostitution, he just found a place to sit.

"Then let's go, get the stall."

Liu Laosi and others took action quickly and carried the stall and the things directly into his shop.

Su Xiangning looked at her dress and came out to set up a stall for the coarse cloth dress of a woman in the city. She was a little embarrassed at this time: "I...I'll go back and change my clothes..."

"No need to be so troublesome. With me here, no one dares to say a word. Call Manager Shen and take her to see the world."

Su Xiangning was just thinking about this and turned around and entered Baibaozhai. After a moment, Miss Shen, who was holding a round fan, ran out and looked at the four white paper fans casually: "Why, don't you know the way and ask me for help? No problem, I like that girl and I will say yes to Aunt Tang, and I will give you 20% off."

This looks even more like a madam than Mrs. Tang. It seems that she has been to Minglou many times.

Su Xiangning glanced at her with a angrily look: "Yu'er, don't talk nonsense. Mr. Su is not such a person, just listen to a song."

"Let's go~ I'm hungry."

Cao Hua was in the mood to hear these whines, and he treated them as modern times to go out for dinner, and asked the two girls to play together.

Minglou is not far away, half a street away, and you will soon walk to the gate of this restaurant, which is known as the first floor of Kyoto.

There are traffic and people are buzzing.

Li Shishi released a new song to perform on stage, which was also a pre-help for the dispute over the courtesan a few months later. There were many princes and nobles who came to support the show. All four talents were present, so Zhou Bangyan naturally could not miss it. However, last time he hid under the bed for a long time, Zhou Gong still had psychological shadows and dared not run to the small building by the lake again. He just sat and waited in the hall with his friends.

It is naturally impossible to lose a naive man like Yuchi Hu. He brought a 20th housekeeper and rushed around and moved the table directly below the table. Mrs. Tang was drinking like a family member, so she almost went to work hard to take care of her clothes and untied her belt.

Everyone has long been accustomed to Yuchi Hu's style. If this master is missing, who will support the elegant demeanor of the literati present?

Chen Yu was also familiar with her face, and she was swaying the round fan in front of her, so Manager Song walked in first to arrange the elegant room.

Seeing Cao Hua covering his face with his sleeves, Miss Shen looked sneaky, with disdain: "I still hide my eyes when I walk in a brothel. Is it just like you, and I'm afraid that people will recognize me?"

Cao Hua naturally would not explain. If he put down his sleeves, half of the people present could run away, and the remaining half would be scared to death. Only Yuchi Hu could stand.

Su Xiangning also chuckled with her lips and walked behind and whispered: "Yu'er, Mr. Su is a family matter, and...."

It is difficult for her to say the word "fearing" in the end.

Chen Yu and she are close friends who can talk about everything, so they naturally understand it and their eyes are even more sarcastic.

I am so brave that I dare to visit brothels inside.

The private room on the second floor of the Minglou lobby was originally prepared for Haoke. It was covered by bead curtains. You can't see the scene above from below, but you can see the whole audience above.

Chen Yu sat down in the main seat, while Su Xiangning leaned against the soft couch beside the railing, watching some dance music of the sisters who wanted to be familiar on the stage.

Cao Hua stood in the compartment and waited for a while. Master Liu Si walked in and whispered: "Wang Rui is in the second room on the left, and Li Ya is also there. After a walk around, it seems that there are a few big figures. There are guards with knives at the door. Just be careful."
