Chapter 503 Proud again
Just kidding, there is a daughter-in-law beside her who never forgets her character. He can't remember to cover his waistcoat tightly, but he has found all kinds of excuses to install the fireplace.
After hearing about it, reading books, and borrowing Master Wang's hands, I was able to even rectify the clay pipes of the sewer. He is a real genius!
Seeing Gu Wenxuan remove the large wooden cover from the toilet, and then listening to Gu Wenxuan's sophistry, Zhou Banxia covered his mouth and smiled sullenly, giving a thumbs up with one hand.
"Amazing, you are worthy of being my man! As expected, everything is carefully considered. Even the thousand taels of silver spent on hiring Master Wang were well worth it."
"Just know?"
This guy is only missing one tail, otherwise he would be shaking it proudly now, "I am pregnant for three years, my reaction is a bit slow."
"No, come on, I won't fall for it. My wife will not stay pregnant for three years. My wife is a noble person and busy with things. Yes, a noble person is busy with things.
In terms of greatness, my wife is actually the most powerful. She is the only one who keeps a low profile. Otherwise, she would have built her own kiln and made ceramic toilets.
You think so? Burning charcoal, bricks and tiles doesn't matter. Glass and cement can be made. It's a pity that the talent was buried and the two years of summer work were in vain. ”
Gu Wenxuan joked in a funny way. After Zhou Banxia saw the new toilet and put the big wooden cover on it, he took her hand to the side door leading to the pot room.
Zhou Banxia resolutely refused to answer the teasing. Anyway, there was no way she could praise her anymore. Although no one heard her, it was so shameful to continue to praise each other.
The so-called pot room has a large pot as its name implies, but the fire is not wood, but coal, the same charcoal fire used to make soap in the workshop.
Although we have not yet found a suitable opportunity to bring briquettes to the market, we dare not underestimate safety. The pot houses here have also taken measures to prevent carbon dioxide poisoning.
Zhou Banxia had to admit that Gu Wenxuan also arranged the heating resources very reasonably and used coal as much as possible.
He is now working step by step to prepare for the next day when he will gather everyone's wisdom and make briquettes.
The dog-headed military advisor was not in vain. The workshop alone used coal to boil soap liquid, which saved a lot of expenses. It could be said that it killed two birds with one stone.
No.
There might be a place she hadn't thought of that could kill three birds with one stone, or maybe four. At the very least, it would save a lot on heating the huge manor here.
Once he has money, he can spend it freely, but it allows him to spend it without any pain. It seems that there is often a difference between gain and loss, and the gain is more than the loss.
Zhou Banxia thought for a while, but still had to praise Gu Wenxuan a few more words, so that his conscience would not hurt: "Yes, I am afraid that you will be proud, so I will give you ninety-nine points."
"Just wait and see. Sooner or later, I will force you to give your man a hundred percent score."
Proud again.
"Don't rush out yet, let me show you something good."
Zhou Banxia, who was turning around, immediately turned around. Gu Wenxuan quickly caught her with his eyes and helped her to the corner where the coal was placed.
"Guess what's the mystery here?"
When Zhou Banxia entered the original entrance and exit of the cellar secret room, he found that it had been decorated by carpenters according to Gu Wenxuan's drawings, and there was no mechanism visible.
However, the position will definitely not change much. At most, Gu Wenxuan will secretly use his carpentry skills to cover up the changes.
This room, this location, Zhou Banxia thought about it for a moment. It seemed that it was not a cellar, but a secret room with a wall. Yes, "It is a secret room. This is the entrance and exit of the secret room."
Gu Wenxuan touched her chin meaningfully and smiled, "I have a good memory. Point to where the mechanism is. If you guess it, there will be a reward."
Zhou Banxia pointed with his hand: "That wooden board with coal on it?" "No."
"Floor?"
"No."
"The left and right corners?"
"Even less so."
"In this room."
"...That's right!" Gu Wenxuan swallowed back the words that she deserves to be my wife and is smart, "I know this."
Zhou Banxia smiled and said, "Be honest and tell me where it is."
"In this room." Gu Wenxuan glanced at her teasingly, turned his finger, turned it in a circle, and then turned it back to the original place, pointing his finger at the position where the burned cinders were placed.
There were baskets, a shovel for sweeping the floor, and a dustpan, and of course there was a large wooden board underneath, which would make her father feel bad again when he saw it.
Such a good piece of wood is actually used for cushioning things. Who doesn't know how to weave baskets and dustpans? It's a waste of a good piece of wood!
Ahem, I thought too far.
"It's a wooden board. If it's not a wooden board, it could be a wooden board that has been pushed away, or it's underneath it, or there's a mechanism in the corner. I don't want to wash it away, otherwise I can point it out to you right away."
Gu Wenxuan smiled and nodded, "It's right where the broom is in the corner. It's easy for people to miss the mechanism.
Furthermore, even if it is started frequently, the garbage and dust can be swept away with a broom to cover it up. Of course, very few people go in here. ”
This is true. Whoever hides something in the boiler room and opens the mechanism every once in a while, Zhou Banxia immediately asks him to open it and take a look.
After hearing this, Gu Wenxuan let go and took a few steps forward. He walked closer and moved the broom aside, then turned sideways and motioned for Zhou Banxia to stand behind him.
Immediately, when Zhou Banxia quickly turned behind him, he whispered a mantra and then squatted down and stretched out his hand to touch the floor tiles lightly or heavily.
He stood up again and pulled the hook of an earth basket hanging on the wall, then lowered his head and kicked with his heel in the middle of the floor tiles he had touched before.
Not long after, a slight "click" sound could be heard from the adjacent wall, and then the wall slowly opened, revealing a door that could accommodate an adult man.
It is not correct to say that it is a door. There is no door. With the brightness of the boiler room, you can see that there is a long and narrow dark room without windows.
Well, Zhou Banxia went in once three months ago, and this time she took advantage of the fact that she and her husband were alone and stuffed something inside immediately.
From the innermost end of the narrow strip, he stepped back and placed the wooden boxes containing silver ingots one by one, silently counting the boxes until there were twenty boxes before stopping.
Just in time, when she stopped, she was almost back at the door of the secret room. There was an empty seat here. Zhou Banxia looked back at Gu Wenxuan. Seeing him shaking his head, she decisively withdrew.
Gu Wenxuan shook his head in amusement and motioned Zhou Banxia to take a look at how he turned off the switch this time, in case someone else failed to turn it off when he was not at home.
Don't tell me, the method of closing the secret room here seems to be different from the last time I came here? Zhou Banxia frowned uncertainly, "Are you doing something again?"
"I don't call it tampering. It's just a slight modification. It's based on the traps that Master Wang has reserved for us and is borrowed to disrupt the order."
"...Have you ever discovered that the person who is good at heresy is not me?"
