Chapter 218 I Made the Girl Laugh
"Yes, Master, I understand."
After chatting for a while, Ruan Qingqing got up and went home.
On the second day, Ruan Qingqing went to visit Zhuge Hong and the other two again to see the progress of their research and development of biogas lamps.
"I think the key is to find a way to isolate the gas from the burning lamp. Otherwise, once the fire starts, it will easily burn back to the gas supply."
"My idea is different from yours. As long as the entire pipeline is airtight, the fire will not reach the supply port. I think what we need to do most urgently is to add a light-transmitting and durable cover to the lamp. This will not only increase the airtightness of the entire system, but also ensure safety during use."
"Big man, you are here!"
Yue Linlang had sharp eyes and spotted Ruan Qingqing at once.
"Still discussing the construction of the biogas lamp?"
"This biogas lamp is much more troublesome than a biogas stove." Yue Linlang spoke first.
"Well, you should have a good discussion. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. It would be best if you can figure it out, but it doesn't matter if you can't." Ruan Qingqing comforted them.
"Well, we know what's going on. I wonder what else the master wants to do?" Zhuge Hong asked.
"Who among you has the skill of disguise?" Ruan Qingqing asked directly without hesitation.
Zhuge Hong and the other two looked at each other and shook their heads. "No."
"Why are you asking about camouflage skills for no reason?" Lu Dunren was very surprised.
"I am now under house arrest in Qingshui County and cannot go out. And my father disappeared inexplicably, so I want to change my appearance and go out to look for my father." Ruan Qingqing simply explained the reason.
Zhuge Hong took out a wine gourd made of unknown material from his waist, opened the cork, took a sip, sipped the wine a few times, and then slowly spoke.
"Is it because of the high-yield rice you planted?"
“This is the most likely possibility!”
Zhuge Hong nodded. "Originally, you are free to go wherever you want. But you are responsible for the revitalization of Mo Men, so we still hope that you will not take risks. We need you, an outstanding master!"
Lu Dunren and Yue Linlang also nodded and looked at her hopefully.
"Well, I will think about it carefully and deal with it carefully."
"Master, don't forget us when necessary. After all, mutual support among Mohists is the essence of our Mohist School, not to mention that you are our master." Zhuge Hong swallowed the wine in his mouth and said casually.
Ruan Qingqing's heart moved, "If I want to leave here, will you leave with me?"
"We have been looking forward to having such an outstanding leader like you. Naturally, we will be wherever you are!" Zhuge Hong said in a firm tone.
"Yes! Before we came here, we may have looked down on you. But after we worked together to build the biogas digester, all these doubts and contempt turned into great admiration." Lu Dunren turned the small stone in his hand.
"Well, following the giant has allowed me to experience a different life. I want to experience more before I die."
"I understand what you mean. You guys continue, I'm leaving first." Ruan Qingqing got the information she wanted and left.
That afternoon, Wushang appeared.
"I have already inquired about it. The person hiding in the county town is not a palace guard but the emperor's personal secret guard. Their leader is a man named Chase. He is temporarily living in Li's Tofu Shop on Zhengrong Street in the county town. He usually helps the old man Li and his wife with odd jobs and is also very good to them."
"Thank you for your hard work! I'll go see him tomorrow."
"Ms. Ruan, have you made up your mind?" Wushang confirmed again.
"Think about it!"
"Okay! I know what to do."
The next day, Ruan Qingqing took a carriage into the city again. She wandered around Li's tofu shop and soon attracted the attention of the old man Li and his wife.
Old man Li is short and fat, and he smiles a lot when he sees people. His smile is quite like that of Maitreya Buddha. Everyone who has been entertained by him feels as if he is bathed in spring breeze.
Mrs. Li is a petite old lady. When she smiles, even her face full of wrinkles cannot hide her stunning beauty, which makes people wonder how beautiful she was when she was young.
"Girl, do you want soy milk or tofu pudding? Don't you have enough money? It doesn't matter, you can eat first and send the money back in two days." Old Mrs. Li walked forward and asked gently.
Ruan Qingqing knew that she was misunderstood, but the more she explained at this time, the more trouble she would cause.
"Grandma Li, please give me some sweet tofu pudding."
"Okay, girl, please find a seat and sit down first. The tofu pudding will be here soon." Old Mrs. Li was delighted when she was called "Grandma Li".
Sitting on a small stool in front of the stall, Ruan Qingqing carefully stirred the spoon in her hand, looking at the tender and smooth tofu pudding in the bowl, her thoughts drifting.
Customers were leaving one after another, but she hadn't even started eating her bowl of tofu pudding.
"Girl, have you encountered any difficulties?" Old Man Li walked up to her and asked with concern while seeing off a guest.
Old Lady Li went straight over and added another spoonful of sugar to her bowl. "Girl, no matter what difficulties you encounter, think positively. Life is getting better and better now, and there is nothing you can't overcome."
"Thank you, elders!" Ruan Qingqing took a sip and tasted it. It was just as tender and smooth as she had remembered, with a rich bean fragrance.
The sweet taste exploded on the tip of her tongue, and she suddenly felt refreshed all over.
"So sweet!" She thanked the two elderly people with a smile on her face, "Thank you! Your tofu pudding is so sweet that it touches my heart!"
Old Mrs. Li smiled triumphantly at her husband, "See! There is nothing that a spoonful of sugar can't solve. If it can't solve it, it means there's not enough sugar!"
Old man Li smiled and nodded, "Girl, if it tastes good, eat more. When your mouth is sweet, the bitterness in your heart will naturally fade. In life, you have to learn to comfort yourself. When you are in a good mood, you will be happy to do anything, right?"
Ruan Qingqing nodded repeatedly, "Grandpa Li is a very insightful person."
"Haha! I've lived to this age, how can I not understand things? Eat slowly, girl, we're going to get busy in the front."
In the morning, business at Li Ji's tofu stall is still booming, but more people buy tofu at this time.
When Ruan Qingqing was halfway through her bowl of tofu pudding, a tall and strong man sat down opposite her. Perhaps because the stool was too low and the space was too cramped, he could hardly stretch his legs.
After he finished two buns in a few bites, he started drinking voraciously from the bowl.
"Si'er, be more polite when you eat. Don't scare the girl sitting at the same table with you!" Old man Li turned his head and instructed Chase who was wolfing down his food.
Chase paused while drinking soy milk and glanced at Ruan Qingqing. He saw the girl opposite him looking at him with sparkling eyes. The soy milk in Chase's hand suddenly felt heavier than a thousand pounds. He didn't know whether to drink it or put it down.
"Ahem, sorry to have made you laugh."
