How did a street urchin from the film crew end up in a Northern Song Dynasty drama called "The

Jin Shuai raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a satisfied smile, and said softly, "Hmm, very good. However, those four people who signed the contract should not be allowed to access our core techniques. Just assign them some odd jobs to do, such as helping you with manual labor or moving items."

The foreman of the blacksmith quickly nodded and replied, "Don't worry, sir. The steward has already explained this matter to us. I know what to do."

Hearing this, Jin Shuai nodded in satisfaction and then encouraged him, "Haha, very good! I hope we can forge high-quality steel soon, so I can build a luxurious iron royal carriage and see if I can exchange it for a fiefdom. Everyone should work hard and strive for success!" After saying this, Jin Shuai hurried off to the carpenter's location. The carpenter had already finished making the wooden barrel and was intently studying how to bend the bamboo tube into the desired shape. Upon seeing Jin Shuai arrive, the carpenter quickly stepped forward and respectfully said, "My lord, you've arrived! These items can be tested tomorrow."

Jin Shuai carefully examined the results before him, then beamed with delight, praising, "Excellent! I'll come and see you tomorrow during the test. You've all worked hard; keep up the good work!" With that, he turned and left, leaving the carpenter and the others to continue their arduous work.

Sunlight streamed through the window into the room. Jin Shuai dragged his tired body back to his room, intending to take a short nap to recharge. However, he had only been lying down for a short while when there was a soft knock on the door.

"Come in," Jin Shuai replied lazily.

The door was pushed open, and Liu rushed into the room, saying anxiously, "Master, someone from the palace has arrived!"

Jin Shuai sighed helplessly, muttering to himself, "Isn't this a bit too hasty? Sigh! It's all because we're short of money!" He sat up, rubbed his temples, and then instructed Liu Shi, "Have them take a shower and disinfect themselves first, then put on masks. I'll go and handle things later."

About half an hour later, Jin Shuai leisurely arrived at the small courtyard where Liu Shi was. As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, his eyes lit up. Good heavens, there were more than a dozen palace maids! These palace maids were all beautiful and graceful. Standing in a row, they were like a beautiful sight.

Just then, a woman who looked like a female official stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said, "Your subject, Dong Qiuhe, greets Your Excellency, the Viscount."

Jin Shuai smiled and nodded, saying, "No need for formalities. Since you're here, just learn from them. Actually, this work isn't difficult; it just requires some patience and attention to detail. It's not convenient for me to be here, so if you need anything, just have Liu Shi come find me. Also, be sure to make plenty of these masks; the palace might need them. Liu Ma, you must carefully teach them the precautions for using the masks. Alright, Dong Qiuhe, I'll take my leave now. You all continue with your work." With that, Jin Shuai turned and left the courtyard.

To his surprise, no sooner had he stepped into his own courtyard than the steward rushed over, panting, and said, "Young master, the old master has returned from his official duties and requests your presence!"

"Okay, let's go... Have you found the shop?" Jin Shuai asked.

"Ya Zi went to look for some places. I told him to find a few more so we can go together tomorrow and take a look and choose one," the butler replied.
