Chapter 483: The Appearance of the Steam Engine
For Song Jiang, Ximenqing is not the first time to contact, and he also knows that he has an old father who lives in the Yi Old People's Home, but he is not surprised by his request: "Yes, but you still have to check the pulse of the old man before it can be settled, otherwise you can't eat indiscriminately." ”
Song Jiang naturally agreed: "I will send my old man over when the time comes." ”
After the meal, Ximenqing went to arrange a place for Wu Yong and them, because the business was hot, there was not much room for choice, Wu Yong and they were directly arranged to the courtyard that Ximenqing left for his family before, although Ximenqing is still a bachelor so far, but he still set aside such a special place when he built this Zhuangzi before.
It's more like a small courtyard house, Wu Yong and they live in the west side courtyard, although the house here is small, but it is only for one night, it is enough for them.
Wu Yong took a change of clothes and went to the hot spring, and after a good wash, the whole person soaked in it and didn't want to come out.
Fortunately, the hot spring that Wu used was a separate one, otherwise he really wouldn't have been so relaxed.
However, it is not good to soak in the hot spring for too long, and Wu Yong finally crawled out with soft hands and feet, so as not to fall asleep when he has time.
Back in his room, Wu Yong began to think about what he was going to do next, except for the things that Zhu Gui needed help with, it seemed that he should go to see Shi Wengong and them, every season, they used to have drills, and I don't know what they planned to do this year.
Thinking about it, Wu Yong fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Wu Yong felt refreshed, and got up early to find others, thinking about whether to go back early.
The others didn't have such good energy as Wu, and they were busy all day yesterday, and they couldn't get up much at this time.
The only person who got up at the same time as Wu Yong was the old imperial chef, who beckoned Wu Yong to come over, and the two happened to have a cup of morning tea together.
Old Imperial Chef: "The guests don't like to be disturbed in the morning, so the breakfast is sent to their respective courtyards, so the owner they don't need to come out in the morning to greet the guests, they get up late, I'm old, I don't feel much, otherwise I wouldn't get up so early." "Of course, this is also due to the habits that I have developed in the palace before.
Wu Yong and the old imperial chef slowly chatted about some interesting things about his past in the palace, and it was only after he came out that he was able to slowly take these things out and talk about them, if he was still in the palace, he would definitely still put it in his heart.
Wu Yong heard a lot of secrets in the palace.
Wu Yong thought of the magical prince he had met before, so he took it out and asked the old imperial chef: "Do you know the prince Zhao Kuangyi?"
The old imperial chef nodded: "I know, this one used to be the best in the imperial study, but the older he gets, the more he likes to run the imperial kitchen, even if he was severely punished by the emperor at that time, it is useless, when I left, I heard that this one was still traveling and did not come back." ”
Wu Yong nodded: "I met someone when I returned to Beijing this time, he married a foreign woman with superb cooking skills, and opened a dessert shop, and the whole person has made a lot of fortune." ”
The old imperial chef was also a little surprised, he didn't expect this one to really do such a thing.
It was almost noon that the others got up one after another, and the guests began to hit back home, as for the next wave, they would come back in the afternoon, and at noon, there were only a few of them in the medicinal food workshop.
Ximen Qing left them for lunch before sending them away.
Back on the mountain, after Wu Yong cleaned up briefly, he wrote a letter of worship and sent it to Shi Wengong.
Gongsun Sheng came to Wu Yong and asked him if he wanted to go with him to see his new research results.
Wu Yong was helpless: "Did you get something out again?"
Although Gongsun Sheng has new things coming out all the time, there are not many really useful ones, if it weren't for the current economic situation on the mountain, Wu Yong would never give him a chance to waste those precious materials.
Gongsun Sheng: "This time it's really good." ”
Wu Yong could only follow Gongsun Sheng.
When Wu Yong saw the big guy parked in the test ground, Wu Yong knew that Gongsun Sheng was not lying this time, this thing should be a preliminary steam engine, but he didn't know what the power was?
Gongsun Sheng began to demonstrate with great interest, and after the boiler inside began to run, the big guy moved slowly, and then walked around the test site, which really proved that this is not a showcase, it can be used.
After that, Gongsun Sheng hung a light carriage behind the big guy and beckoned everyone to sit on it and try it: "Maybe there will be no need for horses to pull the cart in the future." ”
After everyone tried it, they each began to ask Gongsun Sheng about the cost of this thing, if the price was too high, it was still not suitable for large-scale manufacturing.
Gongsun Sheng naturally took into account the cost problem when developing, and swore at this time: "Don't worry, absolutely no problem, except for some steel is more expensive, other things are quite cheap, the key is that this thing is not a living thing, not as expensive as a horse, you need to stop and rest, as long as it has fuel, it can always run." ”
After everyone considered this advantage, they didn't think that the cost was too expensive, after all, it was a thing that could be used for a long time, and it was very likely that this thing would still be requisitioned by the imperial court, and the cost would not be a problem for them to consider.
Wu Yong has already begun to think about how to exchange this thing for silver with Zhao Ji.
After Gongsun Sheng finished the demonstration, he stopped the big guy back to his original place and began to discuss the use of this thing with Wu Yong: "This thing is good, but it still has to find a way, we definitely can't use it ourselves, so let's give it directly to the emperor." ”
Wu Yong: "Well, that's true, I'll start writing a note when I go back later, and report this matter." ”
Gongsun Sheng and Wufu pondered the words together, and then sent the piece up.
Not to mention that Zhao Ji was ecstatic after getting the news, Wu Yong put this matter behind her mind for the time being, she was going to go to Shi Wengong and them to discuss the exercise, if it was too late, it would be too late.
Shi Wengong originally thought that Wu Yong was going to cancel this exercise, after all, they had just sent troops before, and after getting Wu Yong's greetings, they were sure that Wu Yong did not have this idea, and when Wu Yong was used, he asked curiously: "Why did you prepare so late this year?"
Wu Yong was also very helpless, and could only say that there were too many things this year: "I went out again before, otherwise I should have done it when I just came back from the capital." ”
