"Young Master, all the fireworks produced by the workshop have been moved to the academy's warehouse. Brother Mo Zhong will arrange for someone to guard them. I guarantee that there won't be any accidents!"
When it was close to noon, San Bao rushed back from the workshop and reported to Li Zexuan.
The workshop had received orders from Li Zexuan early in the morning to start a holiday. The batch of fireworks produced by the workshop naturally had to be handed over before the workers left. Li Zexuan did not instruct these matters. It was all decided by San Bao, Faubert, and Fu.
"Mm! Well done! "
Li Zexuan nodded, then looked at San Bao and asked with a smile, "How is it? Have you and Fu gotten used to the workshop recently? "
San Bao was flattered and bowed. "Young Master, what are you talking about? It's my and Fu's good fortune to be able to work for you! What's there to not get used to? "
Li Zexuan said angrily, "You rascal! You're such a smooth talker! You can laugh and joke around normally, but when you're working, you have to pay more attention! "
San Bao quickly said seriously, "Young Master, you're right. San Bao will remember it!"
"Mm! Go! "
Li Zexuan waved his hand and said.
…
Yanhuang College.
"Hong Yi, did you return to Chang 'an again?"
In front of Guanghua Building, Chen Tianhua saw Hua Hongyi walking towards him. Seeing his travel-worn appearance, he knew that this fellow had just returned from outside. Hence, he smiled.
Although the three of them lived in Chang 'an, they were already used to life in the academy. Seeing that most of the students did not go home during the winter break, they stayed in the academy. Coincidentally, the academy's canteen was free of charge during the winter break. The benefits were amazing!
As for the Chinese New Year, they planned to go back for a reunion dinner and come back to the academy to watch the fireworks at night!
"Haha! Tianhua! You don't know how lively Chang 'an's West City is today. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that tens of thousands of people came out to watch! "
Hua Hongyi walked over with a beaming face and laughed heartily.
Speaking of which, during the winter vacation, the students who didn't go home didn't just "stay at home" in the Academy. Most of them often went to Chang 'an City when they had nothing to do, especially those students from other places. It was not easy for them to come to Chang' an City to study, but the Academy was located outside of Chang 'an City. Moreover, they usually had a lot of homework and had no time for other things. Now that it was the winter vacation, how could they live up to themselves if they didn't go to Chang' an City for a walk?
Moreover, Yun Mountain was only about twenty miles away from Chang 'an City. Along the way, they might meet some villagers from the Han Village, Plum Village, or other villages who were driving their ox-carts and planning to "go to the market". With a few polite words, the villagers would usually happily give them a ride. This would save them a lot of effort!
This morning, Hua Hongyi rode on Old Hu's ox-cart to Chang 'an!
"Is it because of the bike?"
Chen Tianhua rolled his eyes and said indifferently.
Obviously, he had already read today's Datang Daily.
Hua Hongyi gave a thumbs up and praised, "Hehe! It's the bike! Tianhua is indeed Tianhua. You don't even have to go out and you already know what's going on! Amazing! Tsk tsk, today's scene is really crowded! Even if Yamachō released two hundred and eighty bicycles, they would definitely be sold out by this morning … "
Chen Tianhua interrupted him impatiently, "Alright! Stop talking nonsense! I say, Hong Yi, didn't you say that you've already planned out your first novel? Why don't you take advantage of the winter break to start writing? You have to know that next year's homework will definitely be more intense! "
Hua Hongyi was stunned when he heard this. He then said, "Tianhua, you don't know. Actually, regarding this novel, I've already started writing it a long time ago. It's almost done!"
Chen Tianhua was suddenly energized. He said with great interest, "Oh? You've finished writing it so quickly? Can you let me take a look first? "
Hua Hongyi scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Uh … I meant that the outline is almost done …"
"Pfft!"
Chen Tianhua almost vomited blood. If the person in front of him wasn't his best friend, he would have punched him!
"Uh … Haha! Tianhua, this novel of mine is a little special. I'm sure you've never seen or heard of it before, so it'll be very difficult to comprehend it. You can't force the progress! "
Hua Hongyi quickly explained.
Chen Tianhua looked at him suspiciously and said helplessly, "Alright! Since that's the case, do whatever you want! Just let me and Feichen know when you're ready to release the book! "
"Mm! Of course! "
Hua Hongyi nodded. Suddenly, he saw many students crowding around the Guang Hua Building. He pointed in that direction and asked curiously, "Tianhua, why are they crowding around there?"
Chen Tianhua looked in the direction Hua Hongyi was pointing at. Then, he looked away and answered, "In the morning, the Yamachō sent people to move the fireworks for the New Year here. They used a lot of ox-carts, countless of them! Now, the fireworks have been placed in the warehouse on the first floor. Those people are crowding around the warehouse, probably wanting to see the fireworks in advance! "
"What? The fireworks are here? Damn! I want to see it too! "
Hua Hongyi opened his eyes wide and ran over excitedly. The fireworks were his biggest anticipation for this year's New Year!
…
"Master, the Strange Taste Pavilion Workshop has been established. In just a few days, they can make almost three hundred bicycles. The process requires iron, sulfur, and other raw materials. They are completely self-sufficient. This is terrifying!"
Chongren Square, Zhangsun Wuji's house.
The layman just enjoys the show, while the expert appreciates the skill! While the people outside were crazy about the two hundred and eighty bicycles, the experts saw the terrifying production capacity and efficiency of the Strange Taste Pavilion Workshop.
"From the looks of it, their way of smelting iron is undoubtedly more efficient! It's hard to imagine that Li Zexuan has such achievements in smelting iron. I have really underestimated him! "
Zhangsun Wuji sighed with his hands behind his back.
"Master, with the Strange Taste Pavilion Workshop, our smelting speed will definitely not be as fast as theirs! If the Marquis of Yong 'an wants to snatch business from us, we won't be able to do so! "
The middle-aged man standing below Zhangsun Wuji, who looked like a manager, complained carefully.
Zhangsun Wuji squinted his eyes. If the manager could think of this problem, how could he not? However …
"Don't bother about this! No matter what, during the cholera outbreak, Li Zexuan saved Chong-er's life. If we were to fall out with him because of the business of the workshop, wouldn't we be a joke? Moreover, from the looks of it, the iron produced by the Strange Taste Pavilion Workshop is for their own use. Li Zexuan doesn't have the intention to sell the iron to others. We don't need to complicate things! "
After a moment, Zhangsun Wuji shook his head and gave the final word.
