After a long while, he finally saw Huaer and pulled Chuqi over.
I shouted at Chuqi in a funny and angry tone, "Chuqi, come here. I don't have time to look for you. I asked Huaer to call you, but you still didn't have the patience to come over. Come closer quickly. I want to ask you something."
Chuqi changed his lazy look and came to me in a few leaps. "Aunt Yun, you want to ask about these stones? Whenever you want them, I will take someone to get them. It's a bit far, so it will take some time to get them."
There was a tear on the sleeve of Chuqi's clothes. It might have been accidentally scratched when he was picking up stones.
I took the same needle and thread and a set of the same short clothes and handed them to Chuqi. "Your clothes are torn and I don't know what's going on. Change them. I'll mend them for you and then go find the stone."
Chuqi obediently changed her clothes and put the rotten ones next to me.
While I was looking for needles and thread, I asked Chuqi, "Where did you find this? Call a few people to bring back more later."
"Well, I'll ask a few people to find the way. It's just behind the mountain, about five miles away. The road is not easy to walk on, and there are many stones like this over there."
I looked at Chuqi and nodded. The clothes in my hand had just been mended. I cut the thread and put the clothes in Chuqi's hands. Chuqi picked up the clothes and turned around to call three boys. One of them was Xiu Gu's eldest son Zhang Cai.
When it was dark, Zhang De and his group who had gone out to look for returned, but as usual, they still found nothing.
Not long after, Chuqi and his team came back with limestone. Although it was not much, it was at least a good start.
I carefully asked where the limestone was found. It turned out that I made my first pot of gold, and I had to go into the place where Gastrodia elata was found.
Chuqi said it was five miles. But in Zhang Cai's opinion, it was at least nine miles. Without Chuqi's ability to go high and high, it would be impossible to find the limestone. It can be said that without Chuqi, this matter would really not be accomplished. No wonder Zhang De and his team could not find it no matter how hard they searched.
When Zhang Cai and his team went there in the afternoon, they basically hacked their way in with knives. They hacked out a path and then carried the limestone out.
So, if we want to extract limestone, we need specialized personnel, and if we go nine miles in, we are close to the inner mountains. What if we encounter wild animals coming out of the inner mountains? How can we ensure safety?
Who should be responsible for this matter? The best way is to give it to Su Lai. He has learned a lot from his father during this period and can handle many things independently. But I plan to let him learn more about the skills of a shopkeeper from Su Chen. If Xiu Wen can pass the examination for a scholar in the future, he will definitely go to Beijing to take the examination. One of Su Chen and Su Lan will definitely stay here, and the other will go with Xiu Wen.
So if Su Lai can't make it, we can only choose someone else.
Zhang Cai looked at me in silence and asked, "The boss is thinking about how to get the limestone back. We don't have much work to do in the recent period of time, so we can spare some manpower to do this."
The boy in front of him was about the same age as Su Lai. Maybe he could give it a try.
"Then starting tomorrow, you should gather a few people and go get me the limestone and clay!"
"Okay, boss."
The boy agreed without any hesitation.
I turned to look at Chuqi. "Chuqi, Aunt Yun, I need your help with something. Are you willing to go with us to protect the people who are getting the limestone?"
Chuqi didn't say anything and just nodded.
"Then let's settle this matter. Starting tomorrow, Zhang Cai will take a few people to be responsible for this matter. You can decide who will go with you, and Chuqi will be responsible for their safety."
Zhang Cai: "Okay, boss. I'll go pick someone first."
Chuqi hesitated for a while and asked shyly, "Aunt Yun, when will Xiuwen and the others come back?"
I asked Chuqi with amusement, "Why did I think you only developed feelings for Jiangchuan? I didn't expect you to have such a good relationship with Xiuwen too?"
Chuqi smiled, not looking stern as before. Maybe it was because he had avenged his great vengeance and was hanging out with a group of kids. Gradually, he looked more and more like a teenager.
I thought about it, "said a little uncertainly. I guess you'll be back soon, right? If you want to go over, bring back some of this clay and limestone, and you can go over to play for a few days, but not these few days. These two things will be very useful to you. After a while, when you get the things back, I'll give you a holiday and let Su Lai take you over, okay?"
Chuqi was happy and said "hmm" twice and left.
After confirming these two things, I felt half relieved and only remained a die-hard fan.
Should this thing be found?
I felt relieved. Now that I had clay and limestone, I should be halfway to making cement, right?
Thinking of this, my heart became hot again, as if I saw bags of finished cement powder placed in front of me. Hehehe, it's always good to have a little dream.
I couldn't help but laugh out loud to myself, and looked around. No one saw me, so that was good.
After washing up, I squeezed into Liu Niang's room and fell asleep. I'll leave this question to worry about tomorrow!
