Chapter 102 Chen Lang

Ju Zizhou and Xu Jin sat against each other under the parasol and spoke slowly. Not far away, the vendors who set up stalls in front of the copper and iron furnace door had all imitated Ju Zizhou and sat on the bed.

——This kind of small object has a simple structure and a rough design. You can learn it by looking at it for a few more eyes. In addition, it is not too exhausting and the production cost is low. The farmers' association and some retail investors with carpenter skills have already started to make and sell it.

The two were talking about how old the Xu Jin family's children should be before they could get married and have children. A wide-robed figure took a straw fan in his hand and walked over sweating profusely.

When he saw the huge parasol above Ju Zizhou's head, his eyes lit up and he walked over quickly.

Ju Zizhou turned his back to him, but he didn't notice it at first. When Xu Jin saw this man, he quickly patted Ju Zizhou and said to him: "You have a guest."

Ju Zizhou then turned around and asked, "Does this guest want to drink ice water?"

The man smiled and said, "Drink a few bowls of ice water for you, can you allow me to rest under your umbrella for a while?"

Ju Zizhou looked him up and down and said, "You can just go and rest by yourself, so you don't have to force me to buy ice water."

"Then thank you for this shop." He bowed to Ju Zizhou a little and handed over five copper coins: "Give me five bowls of ice water!"

"Okay." Ju Zizhou collected the money and began to prepare ice water for him.

The man looked up at Ju Zizhou's homemade parasol, then looked at Xu Jin, who was sitting under the umbrella, and his eyes were quite curious: "Shop owner, did you make this umbrella yourself?"

"The umbrella is made by myself." Ju Zizhou said while busy: "The weather has become hotter these days. I can't stand the scorching sun, so I cut wood into branches and cut cloth into surfaces, and made this large parasol."

"The name of the parasol is very appropriate." The man looked at the parasol made of rags and sighed slightly: "You Qin State is different from what I think!"

"Aren't the guest from my Qin State?" Xu Jin suddenly asked in a solemn tone.

The man was stunned for a moment, and said slightly distressedly: "Why do Qin officials know that I am not a Qin person, so they want to check my test and pass on it?"

As he said that, he took the test out of his arms, passed it on to Xu Jin: "My name is Chen Lang, and I am from Chu. I came to Qin for fame and fortune."

Xu Jin looked at Chen Lang's verification biography, nodded slightly, bowed and said, "This is the offense."

"No, no, no." Chen Lang waved his hand and signaled that he didn't care. He sat on the spot in the shadow of the parasol and breathed comfortably: "Speaking of it, store owner, how many bowls of ice water can you sell in this hard day?"

"The weather is hotter, and you can sell twenty or thirty bowls. If the weather is cooler, then there will be less. If it is cloudy or rainy, it will only be one or two bowls." Ju Zizhou answered casually.

He has been investigating the lives of small self-employed people here for a long time. It is natural to come up with such rules.

"In other words, if the weather keeps getting hot, then you can earn up to nine hundred yuan in one stall?!" Chen Lang was a little surprised.

Ju Zizhou nodded and handed over a bowl of iced water that had been frozen: "First bowl!"

Chen Lang took the bowl, covered his hands on the outer wall of the iron bowl, and then pressed the bowl against his forehead, saying, "Good!"

"How do you make this ice water?" Chen Lang took a big sip of cold ice water and asked, "Is it the cellar excavating in winter to store ice?"

"No, it's because of the ice made of saltpeter, which makes me so cold." Ju Zizhou said.

It is no secret that saltpeter ice is made in Xianyang City now. If you are interested, you will know it by asking a little.

"Making ice by saltpeter..." Chen Lang seemed to be unsurprising and continued to ask: "Shopkeeper, who expert discovered this method of making ice by saltpeter?"

"I said it was me, do the guests believe it?" Ju Zizhou pointed at himself and said with a smile.

"How is this possible!" Chen Lang laughed: "What you discovered by the store is that you must not treasure for your whole life, treat it as a family heirloom, and find a way out for your children and grandchildren!"

"What the guest said!" Ju Zizhou smiled sly: "So this method is not me, nor is it discovered by someone who has the same identity as me."

When Ju Zizhou said the first half of the sentence, Chen Lang had a smile on his face, and when the second half of the sentence was said, Chen Lang's smile on his face became a little lighter. While drinking water, he looked at Ju Zizhou secretly.

"Shop..." Chen Lang finished drinking a bowl of ice water and asked, "You said, is this ice-making method specially prepared for the workers on this construction site?"

"Maybe." Ju Zizhou shrugged.

"I heard that Xianyang has recently added a batch of iron farm tools, among which the iron axe saw is even easier to use than all the axe saws in the past. Store, did you use the iron axe saw when you made this parasol?" Chen Lang asked.

"Yes." Ju Zizhou said: "Iron axe saw is indeed more practical and cheaper than the previous axe saw."

"I think such a useful tool can travel all over the world in a short time, right?" Chen Langyi asked with some advice.

Ju Zizhou looked at Chen Lang deeply, smiled, and his teeth were white: "It depends on when Qin State can unite the world."

Chen Lang put down the bowl, took a step back slightly, and looked cautious: "Which junior brother is this family and which lineage is this line of person?"

"Taoism, Zong Laozhuang." Ju Zizhou bowed: "Senior brother doesn't have to be restrained. He doesn't engage in private fights in this Qin area."

Xu Jin couldn't understand the profound meaning of the conversation between Ju Zizhou and Chen Lang. He just saw that Ju Zizhou and Chen Lang chatted casually for a few words, and the two of them looked like they were going to fight.

So Xu Jin immediately stood up to stop him: "Don't have a private fight! Even if there are few big figures from the official temple here and there is no one to manage it, I will also stop him when fighting alone, otherwise, these vendors can report me at any time!"

Ju Zizhou pressed his hand down and signaled Xu Jin to calm down: "Don't worry, I and this Senior Brother Chen can't fight."

Chen Lang looked up and down carefully at Ju Zizhou and nodded slightly: "My junior is indeed a scholar of the old Zhuangjia!"

"What about senior brother?" Ju Zizhou asked.

"A famous master, a disciple of Gongsunzi, Chen Lang!" Chen Lang said proudly.

Gongsunzi is the famous celebrity Gongsun Long.

This man is still alive!

Among the still alive scholars in the world, the most famous is Xunzi, a Confucian scholar who looks like Confucian but not Confucian scholars, followed by Gongsunzi, a famous scholar.

They were worshipped by local governments or great nobles, and they were well-off and fed. Whenever they gave lectures, hundreds of disciples followed them to learn from them.

And the person who can truly call himself "disciples" of these people...

Ju Zizhou looked at Chen Lang deeply: "How did Senior Brother Chen come to Qin for fame and fortune?"

Chen Lang looked at Ju Zizhou seriously and confirmed that he was indeed not hostile and should not have any weapons on him. Then he relaxed: "My old man was studying with Gongsunzi in Zhao. After he achieved success in his studies, he wanted to make a difference, so he went to Yan Kingdom. However, Yan people were xenophobic and could not tolerate me. So I returned to Zhao Kingdom. However, the teacher was alienated by Pingyuan Jun, so I came to Qin to seek fame and fortune."

"So that's it." Ju Zizhou nodded.

"So what about you, junior brother?" Chen Lang looked at Ju Zizhou carefully: "Where did junior brother come from? Why do you sell ice water here?"
