Chapter 195 Refining Resin
Chapter 195 Refining Resin
I will go back to college after the Spring Festival, and will have to wait until the busy farming season to come back next time.
The five children of the Huang family all looked at Old Wang.
Old Wang thought about it and said, "With Old Tian's help, we should be able to build the bathhouse before the New Year."
Even Huang Bo and his wife, who had been listening silently, smiled.
Just do it.
On the second day, Old Wang called all the guards nearby, and Huang Mulin secretly brought Old Tian over from the manor under construction.
Old Tian looked at the hot spring pool in amazement.
Be nice...
Huang Mulin is such a lucky little girl that she came across such good things!
Old Tian quickly came to his senses and gave everyone a construction plan and suggestions.
The people brought by Lao Wang used their internal energy to break the trees one by one, and then quickly chopped off the branches and scraped off the bark. According to Lao Tian's requirements, they found several spots for temporary foundations and started to build the wooden house in full swing.
The wooden house was completed the day before the holiday.
That night, subordinates were guarding the perimeter a hundred meters away. The men and women from the two families were separated and each took a comfortable hot spring bath.
For them, it was their first time to take a hot spring bath and they were extremely excited. Even Huang Mulin had never enjoyed real hot spring water.
"It would be nice to have a drink."
Yu Zhenzhou sighed.
These words woke up the others, and they all decided to go to Huang Mulin to get some wine and come back tomorrow night to continue soaking in the hot spring water.
"Don't mess around~"
Huang Mulin's voice came from the next room. "If you have underlying diseases, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, or high blood pressure, it is best not to drink alcohol while soaking in hot springs. Alcohol and hot springs can easily dilate the capillaries of the skin and increase the heart rate, which can lead to a relative decrease in blood supply to important organs, such as the brain. In severe cases, it can cause cerebral ischemia."
"So everyone will be there tomorrow. Let Doctor Yan and I check your health first, and then decide who can drink a little low-alcohol wine."
Huang Mulin emphasized, "Only a little bit."
The men all agreed, in case Huang Mulin got angry and forbade them to take a hot spring bath or drink alcohol. The little housekeeper was very powerful.
Of course, after finding Yan Bufan, the matter of the hot spring could no longer be hidden from him. At night, there was one more man in the room, and there was a bottle of fruit wine, just enough for each person to have a glass.
Huang Mulin calculated it.
After distributing year-end bonuses and gifts to the craftsmen, farmhands, and servants, the whole family begins to prepare for the New Year.
"Mumu, there are things on the floor in the east wing, what are they?"
Huang Haolin just passed by and saw it.
"Oh, those are fireworks."
This year, Huang Mulin went out of his way to look for fireworks and firecrackers, intending to have some fun during the New Year's Eve.
"fireworks?"
Huang Haolin's eyes lit up.
When he was at Qingfeng College, some students from prominent families had drawn it. He kept it in mind at the time and thought that when he could make money in the future, he would buy it for his family to enjoy.
Unexpectedly, Huang Mulin got there first.
"Well, setting off fireworks during New Year's Eve and Lantern Festival would be very appropriate~"
Huang Mulin smiled widely, she was looking forward to seeing the fireworks from ancient times.
Huang Haolin happily went to talk to his brothers about this.
She asked someone to inform the village chief and villagers, saying that there would be fireworks at midnight on New Year's Eve. The villagers were so excited that every one of them stared at the direction of the Huang family mansion from before dark till late at night.
At the same time as the new year arrived, there was a loud bang and the sky exploded with gorgeous fireworks.
Some children who couldn't stand the sleepiness were awakened by the fright. The younger ones burst into tears. But when they saw the gorgeous sky, they became quiet instantly.
Moonlight, shooting stars, water lilies, thousand-foot plums, upside-down lotus, small-leaf pears, etc., in various forms, are imprinted in everyone's heart frame by frame.
"It's so beautiful~"
Huang Mulin sighed.
Although not as good as what she saw on TV in her previous life, but in this situation and this scene, these are what she truly possesses and blooms.
"Yes."
He Hui Niang and others beside her agreed.
In the twilight, pairs and rows of human shadows stretched very long.
For many years afterwards, there were such grand fireworks feasts every year, but the scene I saw for the first time was the most profound in my memory.
Huang Mulin had a good start to the year.
In the following days, the weather was good, the crops were abundant, every household was filled with laughter, the children grew up carefree, and the elderly were in good health. This was the new atmosphere that everyone longed for.
In May, when Huang Mulin was eleven years old, his four elder brothers all passed the prefectural examination and obtained the status of Tongsheng. Tang Yuhe and Shen Junkun were preparing for the academy examination, and after passing it they would become Xiucaigong.
The winery on the back mountain is almost completed, and the others are still under construction. However, we have harvested a lot of natural resin in recent years.
Huang Mulin found a place and asked Lao Tian to build a special small workshop. No outsiders were allowed to approach. Every time, she, An Ning and An Ran brought their three pets and a few people who looked like craftsmen in and out.
These craftsmen are all members of the organization, specially selected by Huang Mulin in order to teach them how to refine natural resin and rubber.
Natural rubber was also found near the border of Qili Country two years ago. Ban Jun was fully responsible for the purchase, collection, and transportation, and had already shipped a lot of it back to Huang Mulin.
"You have to keep today's events a secret forever, okay?"
In the workshop, Huang Mulin said to the craftsmen.
The craftsmen didn't understand why, but the organization had rules that required them to obey orders from above.
"Yes."
Then they saw a sight they would never forget.
The red bird flew to the iron stove where resin had been placed, opened its mouth, and bright red flames spurted out of its mouth. In just a few breaths, the resin was completely melted, and the impurities in the resin were also destroyed by the high-temperature flames.
Huang Mulin asked Fentian for help, firstly to save time, and secondly because she had high expectations for the greenhouse and hoped that it could be made very delicately, which would be difficult to achieve with ordinary fires and without modern technology.
The craftsmen were sweating profusely, feeling hot and scared, and they were suffering from alternating hot and cold, and they almost couldn't stand.
"My little pet has some magical powers that cannot be revealed to outsiders." Huang Mulin's gaze was unusually deep against the backdrop of the fireworks. "I hope you can keep this secret."
"......Yes."
They dared not to comply.
In fact, when Huang Mulin, An Ning and An Ran saw Fentian had this ability for the first time, they were also shocked and it took them half a day to recover.
Huang Mulin and other craftsmen calmed down a little before they began to teach them how to extract and make rubber. They were all trained in the organization and had strong minds.
The craftsmen were naturally talented and had their own specialties, so they learned quickly. With Fentian's assistance, the refining process went smoothly.
Soon, the formed, almost transparent boards were transported from the workshop to the greenhouse she designed.
