Rebirth 1982 Be the stubborn master

Chapter 67 Gold Bricks
Waved to let everyone go to work, Du Kang trained the Shrike there, and wanted to train him into a pet that could listen to him.

When you can't share it with your own vision, you can command it to fly freely, which is great.

As a result, as soon as he left the shared view, the Shrike flapped his wings and fled without a trace.

At least let it be like a well-trained bird, able to obey his instructions and play with him.

This is very difficult. After all, wild animals are hard to find. It is not a random talk. Some birds with strong temperament, after being caught, would rather starve to death than give in.

But in his hands, it seems very simple.

With the help of special medicine, it didn't take long for this wild and hard-to-find Shrike to regard him as a close partner, and he no longer wanted to escape all the time.

While training, Liu Erdan came over with a smile and said, "Boss, can I take half a day off? I have a cold and I'm going to the hospital."

He coughed twice as he spoke, looking seriously ill.

"Go to any hospital, I'll treat you."

Signaling him to take his hand over to feel his own pulse, Liu Erdan's expression froze slightly, but he still stretched out his hand to him.

Du Kang put his hand on his wrist to diagnose his pulse, raised his brows slightly: "You said it was a cold?"

"No, I have a stomachache."

Liu Erdan felt bitter in his heart, he was hasty, he shouldn't use this excuse to forget that Du Kang can see a doctor.

"Your stomach is fine, go back to work quickly."

Liu Erdan was so embarrassed that he couldn't bear it, he could only say, "Boss, I actually have something to do at home, and I want to go back and have a look."

"Then you just make up a reason to lie to me?"

"Aren't I afraid that you will disagree?"

"Go back, next time you have something to say, don't make such a bad excuse for me."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Liu Erdan agreed on the surface and complained in his heart. Is this an excuse?

The problem is, who would have thought that you could cure a disease, and you would be able to tell whether you are sick or not at a glance.

I have to tell others later that I must not use the clever excuse of being sick to ask for leave from Du Kang.

Because that excuse doesn't work at all.

After training the shrike for a long time, and having nothing to do, Du Kang went to the courtyard, wanting to see how Lei Laoliu's decoration is going and whether he can move in.

Parking the car at the gate of the courtyard, looking at the locked gate, Du Kang had no choice but to find that Lei Lao Liu was not here.

He didn't have a key in his hand either.

Fortunately, I can pick the lock, otherwise I would have to go back home.

He took out an iron wire, fiddled with the door lock twice, and then opened the lock.

Just entering the courtyard, Du Kang's eyes lit up. The decoration is good, and the progress is also fast. Many places have been renovated, giving him a brand new feeling.

And different from the newly built courtyard, Lei Laoliu tried his best to keep the original flavor of the courtyard.

Some of the materials used are also specially treated to be old, which is more in line with the situation of courtyard houses.

Just like Mingwa, he handed the brand new Mingwa to Lei Laoliu, thinking that it should be the brand new Mingwa window that greeted his eyes.

However, what he saw was rather old, not the kind of dilapidated old, but with a trace of the passage of time.

Because of the traces of time, it has a different charm, looks more pleasing to the eye, and fits the situation of the courtyard house better.

Not bad, really good.

Taking advantage of Lei Lao Liu's absence, Du Kang released the treasure hunting mouse and directed it to go into the secret room to check the situation in the secret room.

The treasure hunter searched the ground for a long time, and found a small hole to get into.

Du Kang's consciousness also followed, his eyes went dark, and when he got used to the situation inside, he saw that he was in a very narrow hole, needless to say, it was a mouse hole.

As it turned left and right, the opening in front suddenly became very narrow, only the size of a bottle mouth.

The place is too small.

Just as Du Kang didn't know what to do, Treasure Hunter didn't care about other things, and squeezed through with four short legs.

Looking at it, he couldn't help being amazed, it is indeed a mouse with amazing drilling ability, it can slip through any gap.

Going deep into the ground, you can see a pile of grain appearing at the bottom of the mouse hole.

Originally, the treasure hunter didn't need to pass there, but when he saw the delicious food, he turned a corner instantly, went up and ate it, stuffing his mouth full.

And a happy mood came, happy that I could find food.

Du Kang almost vomited, the treasure hunting mouse is a mouse, he is not, he has no interest in snatching food from mice.

Quickly command it to leave and go to the secret room.

After passing through a narrow mouse hole, the eyes suddenly opened up, and they had already entered the secret room.

Du Kang looked around and was surprised to find that the secret room was really huge.

Treasure Mouse kept telling him that the secret room was very big, but Du Kang didn't know how big it was, and thought it would be thirty or forty square meters, which was already very big.

Looking at it now, it is at least sixty or seventy square meters, supported by several pillars on both sides, forming a hall, and there are passages leading to other places.

Maybe the whole courtyard has been hollowed out.

Who made this secret room? How could it be so big!

It's a pity that after looking for it, there is no treasure chest at all, let alone a treasure chest, except for the messy garbage, not even a copper plate can be seen.

Being disappointed, Du Kang lowered his head, but suddenly his pupils shrank, and he found something that surprised him.

The bricks below are not ordinary blue bricks, but gold bricks two feet square.

Gold brick is not a brick made of gold, but a kind of clay brick, a high-quality paving brick specially used in important buildings such as palaces in ancient times.

Because of its fine texture and the clanging sound of metal when knocked, it is named gold brick.

Also known as imperial kiln bricks, it is a treasure in the traditional kiln brick firing industry.

This brick is used to pave the Taihe Hall, Zhonghe Hall, Baohe Hall and Dingling Mausoleum, one of the Ming Tombs.

Don't look at earth bricks, but gold bricks are different from ordinary bricks. The production process is complicated, and it needs to go through several processes such as soil extraction, billet making, firing, kiln extraction, grinding and soaking.

It doesn't sound particularly complicated, but in fact, under each major process, there are many small processes. The combination of these large and small processes makes the production of "golden bricks" a luxury. .

It takes at least two years to complete a kiln of gold bricks.

After leaving the kiln, there are strict inspections. If six of the gold bricks in a batch cannot reach the level of "knocking sound and breaking without holes", this batch of gold bricks is considered waste and must be re-fired.

How could the gold bricks that were supposed to appear in the palace appear here?

Du Kang inspected these bricks, only to find that they were not the highest-grade gold bricks, but inferior ones, the kind that were eliminated after firing.

But it's also very rare, at least ordinary people can't see that there are any flaws in these gold bricks, they are all the best kind.

After careful inspection, in addition to the largest secret room, there are also several small rooms, almost all over the ground of the courtyard.

All of them are made of blue bricks, and the ground below is all covered with gold bricks.

No wonder even the owner of the courtyard above didn't know about such a secret place.

In ancient times, this kind of building violated the regulations and violated the royal taboo. Once it was known by outsiders, it would be a serious crime of beheading.

Of course, the fewer people who know about it, the better. Once something happens to the owner and it is too late to explain it, it is easy for no one to know about the secret room.

I really don't know who built it in the first place. It was clearly intended to be a hidden emperor and enjoy the emperor's treatment.

But now it's all cheaper for me, as long as I buy the courtyard above, it will become my own.
