Chapter Fifty-Three
Hidden ruler
The years in the mountains are quiet and beautiful, the scorching sun is blocked from the lush forest, only a few spots of light are sparsely missed, sporadically sprinkled on the faces of the sleeping people under the trees.
Qin Jun scratched her nose and slept from noon to Shen's time. The sun shone on her face, revealing the light-colored fluff on Qin Jun's forehead.Slide from wrist to elbow.
Outside the gate of the villa, a carriage covered with thick cotton wool stopped at the gate of the villa with difficulty.
Two guards guarded the door like straight silver guns, shouting loudly: "Who are you!"
There were two winding wet marks on the wheels of the cart, the thick blanket was wet and heavy, and the carriage panted, "It's hot in the Wang's mansion, the prince sent me some ice to He's mansion."
From time to time, Xiao Taozi came chattering with a few court ladies, "Bing?"
"Very good!"
"I thought I couldn't even use ice when I got Capital!"
"There's ice now, Miss can eat some frozen fruit!"
"Unload the ice quickly! It just so happens that the ice cellar has been packed, so hurry up and carry it away!"
A group of Yingying and Yanyan called a few Kong Wu to move the half-thawed ice to the underground ice cellar. According to a random estimate, there are about a hundred catties that can be used after removing the melted water.
If it cost money to buy it, at least it would cost tens of taels of silver. Xiao Taozi was overjoyed, and turned around the corridor to meet Ji Si who came back from washing her clothes.
Ji Si: "Why is there water everywhere?"
Xiao Taozi counted the copper coins in her hand, walked out happily, sent some rewards to the groom, and said casually: "The palace sent ice, and it melted on the way."
Ji Si: "Ice?"
Qin Jun was still asleep in a daze, a few spots of light shone on her face through the gaps in the trees, burning her eyes so that she felt uncomfortable, so she closed her eyes and moved away bit by bit, the leaves fluttered with the wind, and the spots of light swayed to the leftSwinging to the right, Qin Jun also moved back and forth following the light spot.
Ji Si smiled, put the ice bowl in her hand aside, and touched Qin Jun's face with her finger.
Qin Jun woke up in a daze, and looked at her ignorantly, "It's so cool."
Ji Si smiled and stuffed the bowl into Qin Jun's hand.
Qin Jun rolled up her sleeves, revealing two raw snow-white arms, holding a bowl of crushed ice poured with sugar juice, smacking her tongue and looking at Ji Si.
The heat was too severe, Xiao Taozi bought half a carload of melons and fruits when she went shopping in Jiangbei City, soaked them in cold water, and distributed them to everyone in the afternoon every day to relieve the heat.What was in Qin Jun's bowl was mashed by Ji Si alone, poured out the juice and poured over ice.
"Not hot?" Ji Si looked at Qin Jun, "Didn't you want to make smoothies?"
Qin Jun: "..."
Ji Si tilted her head: "Is that how you did it?"
Leaving the salt room last night, Qin Jun was sweating so much that she dripped into her neckline along her brocade clothes. After washing and washing, she lay next to the bed with Ji Si. She slept restlessly.Yu Gui accidentally said that he wanted to eat smoothie.
Qin Jun squeezed the handle of the spoon and took a bite. The ice was not as fine as a machine chiseled, but it was quite fun to chew in his mouth. It didn't have the taste of modern saccharin, and the syrup was also made of fruit. There was only fruit flavor in his lips and teethAromatic, sweet and refreshing.
"Delicious." Qin Jun said.
Ji Si took off the silk handkerchief from her side, and put Qin Jun on the bottom of the bowl, "I can only eat half of the bowl, don't catch the cold."
Qin Jun vaguely agreed, and asked, "Have you eaten?"
Ji Si sat at Qin Jun's eye level in a half squatting position. She wiped off the wet marks on Qin Jun's lips with a smile, and then put the wet fingertips into her mouth to suck, "Eat."
Qin Jun: "..."
Qin Jun's face turned red and her neck was hot, and the red tide spread to her earlobes. She laughed dryly, "It's really hot today, um... where did this ice come from?"
Ji Si licked her lips, looked at Qin Jun's lips with dark eyes, and said softly, "From the palace, the master's lips are wet, slave..." As she said that, she leaned closer...
Embarrassed, Qin Jun stood up suddenly holding the bowl to distance herself from Ji Si, and stumbled, "Did you drink the medicine?"
Ji Si lacked interest: "Drink it, today is another ten days."
Qin Jun suddenly said: "Go to the back mountain to chop firewood, so as not to suffer again later."
Ji Si's expression dimmed, and she looked at Qin Jun sullenly, "I feel very uncomfortable right now."
Qin Jun can't say that he is handy in dealing with such Ji Si, and he is familiar with it once, so he nodded helplessly, and pointed at her in a commanding tone, "Go to sleep in the house, I don't need you to practice today, I will go to the study room to read the book.I will accompany you."
"The master is just fooling the slave again." Ji Si sneered.
Qin Jun: "..."
Ji Si's expression changed, she touched Qin Jun's lips with her sleeve, and wiped off the syrup for her, "I want this."
Qin Jun: "Let's go, let's go."
Ji Si raised her eyes, dark colors surged in her eyes, as if after you fought for me, she forced down the anger and smiled at Qin Jun, "Slave to..."
Taking advantage of his surprise, Qin Jun squeezed the spoon in her hand and suddenly poured it into Ji Si's mouth.
The wind passed, the trees stopped for a while, and then the rain fell densely, resounding in the valley.
The wind is blowing, and there are many heavy rains in summer, and the scorching sun turns cloudy in a blink of an eye.
The bowl of crushed ice poured with sugar juice and fruit pulp fell to the ground. Qin Jun was held up on the stone table, and Ji Si grabbed his jaw, staring blankly at Ji Si who was close at hand.
Ji Si spoke with anger, her whole body was imposing, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she looked at Qin Jun with displeasure: "This slave is sick today, why bother to provoke trouble?"
Qin Jun: "..."
After several months of being gentle and gentle, Qin Jun almost forgot about this person's temperament of being indistinguishable from emotions.
Qin Jun stiffened her neck: "I'm making smoothie for the master, why don't you give me a bite? How come you're causing trouble?"
Ji Si looked at her and moved the corners of her mouth, "What a slave should do, why should the princess bother, just be as before. When I'm sick, hurt, or cold, just take a look at this slave, and I'll be satisfied, and I can die right away."
It was hard for Qin Jun to blush at what she said, and just as he was about to do so, a black shadow enveloped him from above.
"Miss," Jin Xiu quietly appeared like a ghost, "water is coming out of the well."
Qin Jun: "..."
"Quick!" Qin Jun was so excited that she quickly escaped from Ji Si's arms, "Take me to see!"
The well under the sycamore tree in the patio has been dredged a few days ago, and the water came out at most three meters after entering the country, which at least shows that there is a lot of groundwater in the ground on the mountain!
"The water is out!"
The courtyard was full of cheers, the underground water gushed out and turned from muddy to clear, Xiao Taozi ordered people to beat the muddy water, and there were many people who came to watch the well at that time, and Jin Xiu clung to Qin Jun's ear, saying: "The place at the back mountain has alreadyDigged three meters."
Qin Jun and Jiang Chaoshan have been busy setting up the salt room these days and nights, assembling the parts of the mechanism, and finally assembled it last night. First, they tried it in front of the patio, and broke a meter thick rock overnight, allowing the well water to flow out.
This drilling equipment is about six meters high and two meters wide. The left and right crossbars are fixed with ropes, and then the two ends are connected.The iron arm goes up and down, sometimes winding forward to tighten, and sometimes turning back to release it. In the middle is a solid iron one meter long with a wide head and an iron cone, which is used to break the stone edge.That solid iron pillar is like an iron arm!
Last night, Qin Jun, Jiang Chaosheng, and Jin Xiu Anwei secretly tried out this machine. By moonlight, they placed the iron arm at the mouth of the well, so that the cutting-edge drill bit could be aimed at the well, and the fist-sized iron cone arm was hoisted high with gears.At the same time, people only need to spend a little effort to operate, and they can use a hundred catties of force when the iron arm is smashed down, and they can dig through the underground rock formation one by one!
Before dawn, the well-sinkers moved away before they got up. Today, the last layer of rock was broken, and water came out.
Qin Jun: "Have you seen Jiang Chaosheng coming out of Houshan?"
Jin Xiu nodded: "There is no brine coming out, I think I have to dig deeper."
Qin Jun: "No hurry, you go first, take the ruler from my room and hide it."
Jin Xiu was tired: "...Where are you going to hide? Three times a month, I have hidden all the places I can hide."
Qin Jun stomped her feet: "...The villa is so big, why can't it hide a ruler?"
Jin Xiu: "..."
