Dressed as a widow, raising cubs, farming and building infrastructure in Ming Dynasty

Chapter 13 Bloody

The carpenter was also very inspired. He scratched his head and said to Qin Liu: "Ms. Li, can I make a few more of these bellows and sell them?"

There was no loss to Qin Liu, so he naturally nodded in agreement.

The onlookers who were watching were talking a lot.

"This little lady is really ingenious. We never thought of such a simple thing!"

"It's ingenuity, but it won't make you rich. If you make this thing and sell it, it will be a business!"

Qin Liu's heart moved.

Why didn't she think of using some knowledge from modern society to sell it in ancient times? !

Then, she quickly became discouraged.

She has a master's degree in both geology and chemical engineering, and can develop chemical products based on geological mineral deposits. With a doctorate, she has studied coal chemical engineering to the extreme.

However, some of the geological mineral deposits she inspected back then were located in the Mongolian grasslands, and a few were in Shanxi and other provinces.But in the current situation, the grassland is ruled by the Mongolians in the grassland, who often kill Han people, making it a dangerous place.

There is currently no room for her to use her skills.

Qin Liu is planning the layout and recipes of the new dumpling shop in a down-to-earth manner.

The kitchen sink and water pipes were custom-made for her by the owner of the porcelain kiln. The water tank and pit toilet in the toilet were also made of porcelain. The sewer pipes were also made of specially fired porcelain casings, and the pipe connections were plastered. A gray backing is applied to seal and waterproof.

The sewer pipe eventually led to a deep pit in the backyard.The deep pit is connected to the city's drainage ditch, and a check valve is installed.

In the future, if you hire someone to clean the pit a few times a year, there will be no problem.

As for the insufficient water storage in the water tower, she also thought of a solution: drill a well in the front yard. If the water storage in the water tower is insufficient, groundwater can be extracted from the well for daily use.

The biggest problem with this facility is that the water in the water tower freezes in winter.Her solution to this problem was to place the main body of the water tower between several stoves in the large kitchen.The hot smoke and steam from the stove are constantly fumigating the walls of the water tower. Even if it freezes in winter, water will flow out of the water tower.

When the water flowed out of the special ceramic faucet, Qin Liu was so happy!

In ancient society, modern people finally enjoy a handful of tap water!

Even though there are still many problems that need to be solved with this equipment, she is still very happy.As long as she works hard, life will get better day by day.

……

Qin Liu gave the new dumpling shop an elegant name - Yanzilou. She hung some calligraphy works on the surrounding walls, making them simple and elegant.

Now she is the only clerk in Yanzilou.

After the old dumpling shop closed that day, Qin Liu went to take a bag of flour and put it over there at Yanzilou, waiting for Yanzilou to open tomorrow.

After much thought, she decided to hide the flour in the cellar of the west room behind her.She discovered that the ingredients were not carefully guarded, and there were often times when the food was missing or even the entire bag of rice and noodles disappeared.

Most likely, some thieves were targeting their shop and took advantage of the silence of the night to strike.

Therefore, they try their best to only buy enough ingredients for that day to avoid being noticed by bad guys.Even if there is some unused food, Ma Yue will carry it back to Ma's house and carry it back the next day.

As soon as she entered the main house, she heard a rustling sound.

Qin Liu was startled, took out the fire seal in his arms, blew it on, and went into the west room to check.

On the brick bed in the west room, there was a bloody man struggling to get up, but failed.

Qin Liu didn't dare to enter the house, threw down the flour and ran away.She ran to the street and saw no one catching up with her, so she gradually calmed down a little.

Maybe someone who was on the run like her was temporarily staying there?
Qin Liu thought for a while, took a plate of dumplings that he was going to take home for breakfast the next day, and mustered up the courage to enter the main room again.

She didn't dare to enter the west room. She just stood at the door and said tremblingly: "Here is a plate of dumplings. I left it at the door. Come and get it yourself. Take good care of yourself and go on your own!"

After saying that, she saw that there was no movement in the west room, so she didn't dare to go in to observe, so she ran away.

As soon as I walked into the Yanzi Building in front, I saw Ma Ang just entering the house covered in blood.

Qin Liu was startled: "Brother Ma, what's wrong with you?"

Ma Ang's expression was dull and dull, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Qin Liu felt like vomiting due to the bloody smell on his body. He endured it for a long time before saying, "Brother Ma, what's going on?"

Ma Ang said in a low voice: "I killed someone."

Qin Liu was so frightened that his heart stopped: "Who did you kill?"

This world is about killing people to pay for their lives!Ma Ang won’t be sued, right? !
After a long while, Ma Ang said in a hoarse voice: "Kill the Tatar. My knife penetrated his body, and he stared at me. He couldn't believe that he was stabbed. Blood spurted all over me, but I He just didn't dare to let go! He grabbed my arm with both hands, but failed to catch me several times, and finally died in front of me."

Qin Liu was stunned for a while, and finally realized that Ma Ang was very depressed after the murder, and came to her to talk to her and find comfort.

Qin Liu's mind started to spin rapidly - she thought of Li Dalang's mother.

Qin Liu spoke with difficulty: "Brother Ma, you should know that I am not Da Lang's biological mother, nor am I Old Man Li's biological daughter-in-law. I am a migrant, taking on Da Lang's mother's identity."

Ma Ang's eyes moved.This matter is almost an open secret, and most of the old residents in the town know it.But this is a common occurrence.His mother, Aunt Ma, and Doctor Qian's wife also fled from other places and lived here under other people's identities. Everyone knew this tacitly.

The situation in their place is special, with people coming and going, and they often experience attacks by Tatar soldiers.Those who can move have already gone to make a living elsewhere, and only those who cannot leave will stay here.No one will deliberately uncover other people's scars.

He didn't know why Qin Liu suddenly mentioned this matter now.

Qin Liu continued: "Dalang's mother was hacked to death by Tatar soldiers in her yard last year. Blood flowed all over the floor. You did a good deed by killing the Tatars and avenged Dalang's murder of his mother. He also helped me avenge my benefactor."

Ma Ang felt much more at ease.

When Qin Liu saw this, he didn't say much. He took a rag and filled it with water, wiped the blood on Ma Ang's face and hands, and then briefly cleaned and wiped the blood on Ma Ang's body.

"You probably have to go back and take a shower and change clothes to clean it up."

Ma Ang nodded numbly.

The two of them left the Yanzi Building one after the other.

Qin Liu felt slightly grateful when he saw Ma Ang following him back to Li's house.The road was dark at night, and she was still a little scared to walk alone at night.

When she arrived at Li's house, she did not let Ma Ang leave immediately. Instead, she boiled hot water, took a set of clothes from Old Man Li and let Ma Ang take a bath before leaving.

Ma Ang took a bath, poured out the bath water, and tidied up the house.

Qin Liu helped him wash the bloody clothes in well water.Ma Ang was standing by to help her draw water from the well.

Qin Liu hung the clothes to dry on the rope in the yard and then said: "Brother Ma, you are tired today. Go back and rest early."

Ma Ang nodded and left.
