"Master Hou, what is the core item you are talking about, even if we can't make it available at the moment, at least let us know its function and function, of course, it's best to have a working principle!" Hu Kuan still refused to give up.

"I once talked to Dean Zhang about this!" Chen Xu pointed at Zhang Cang and smiled.

Zhang Cang was stunned for a long time, then lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and suddenly looked up at Chen Xu in surprise: "Could it be that what Hou Ye said was that the waterwheel mill was successful that day, and he mentioned that it was a machine that could drive a carriage without livestock manpower?" ”

"Yes!" Chen Xu nodded, "At present, the so-called machines we have developed and manufactured, except for the waterwheel mill, the rest are driven by manual and livestock such as cattle and horses, these are actually not real machines, when I told Dean Zhang, the real machine, without livestock and manpower, can run tirelessly and never stop like a waterwheel mill, and to achieve this goal, then we need a source of continuous power like a waterwheel, this is the core, this core Benhou called the engine, Only when we succeed in making this core component will all machines come to life like humans, animals and animals with jumping hearts, and will they truly have the soul of the machine......"

"Master Hou, what is the principle of this kind of machine?" At this time, not only Hu Kuan was completely interested, but a group of people such as Zhang Cangma Gong Gong and Gong Win all looked at Chen Xu with excitement on their faces.

"Principle ......" The corners of Chen Xu's eyes twitched slightly, and then stared at the hot air rising from the teacup in his hand, so his face relaxed and said with a smile: "The principle is on the teacup in your hands!" ”

A group of people stared at the teacup in their hands with wide eyes, and their faces were strange and dazed.

"Did Master Hou say that this kind of engine needs tea?" Ma Pole hesitated to speak.

"Poof~~" Chen Xu took a sip of tea and squirted out far away, shook his head with black lines and said: "Use your brain, it's not tea or tea!" ”

"Then the Hou Ye is talking about the teacup...... Oh, I know, this engine must be made of ceramic, and it can only work like making tea......" Gong Win suddenly opened his mouth.

Chen Xu: ......

It doesn't seem to be a problem to say this, and the ceramic engine is not without it in later generations, but the principle is definitely not like this.

Seeing Chen Xu shaking his head like a rattle, Hu Kuan finally couldn't hold back his mouth and begged: "Hou Ye, Kuan went to Lingnan for more than a year, and his mother-in-law and children couldn't take care of it, this time he finally came back early, and found that Xianyang was almost unrecognizable, Kuan has been following Hou Ye for almost six years now, and he is constantly imagining what Hou Ye said about the steel giant ship and the iron-winged bird, I don't dare to think about the immortal magic weapon you said, and I can't think of it, but this iron ship and the bird hope to see each other in my lifetime." , otherwise I won't be blind, so I also implore Hou Ye to tell the principle of this engine, and find some skilled craftsmen to develop it, if it can be successfully made, wouldn't it be a great benefit to the world......"

"Yes, Master Hou, what Dean Hu said is half a point, don't sell it!" A crowd of people began to plead with blank eyes.

"Okay, today is entertainment and leisure anyway, so Ben Hou will tell you about the ...... of steam power."

"Master Hou, Chef Fan has informed you that the dish is ready and ready to be served!"

Just as Chen Xu was about to explain the principle of the steam engine, the steward of the kitchen hurriedly came in to report.

Chen Xu turned his head to look at the sky outside the living room, so he waved his hand and stood up and said: "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, after eating the banquet, we will go to the city to watch the floats and lanterns, guess the lantern riddles and watch the fireworks, how can we talk about these boring things, let's go, you will go to the restaurant with Ben Hou to drink and feast first!" ”

"Alas~" Zhang Cang, Hu Kuan and others stood up with extremely disappointed faces.

Chen Xu: ......

Nimadu said that scientists and technicians are stupid, it seems that ancient and modern times are the same, a good festival is about to be turned into a technical lecture by a group of guys, eating, drinking, shopping and playing such a good entertainment I don't like, sure enough, it's stupid.

Under the leadership of Chen Xu, a group of people playing mahjong in the living room and chatting to buy codes and participate in gambling came to the dining room.

At this time, the dining room has been spliced on a long dining table seven or eight feet long, covered with tablecloths, dozens of maids shuttled back and forth are placing dishes, chopsticks and cups, bottles of wine and mulberry wine put the table full, crystal clear glasses and porcelain tableware in the surrounding lanterns under the reflection, exuding an alluring light.

At this time, the kitchen workers have begun to serve, the first thing to serve is a few large pots of fragrant dog meat, and then it is steaming, frying and frying different styles of dishes, cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks, birds and beasts, crabs, shrimps, fish and turtles, as well as bear's paws and elephants, sea cucumber and abalone, among the chefs' flowing water and the names of the dishes, all kinds of delicacies and seas are constantly put on the table, and soon the whole restaurant is full of aroma.

When the dishes were served, the maid poured wine for everyone, Chen Xu's eyes swept and found that there seemed to be one person missing, so he asked a maid beside him after thinking about it in his heart: "Have you ever seen Imperial Doctor Xu?" ”

"Lord Hou, Imperial Doctor Xu was invited by several ladies to teach the method of raising a baby in the backyard!"

Well, a few black lines appeared on Chen Xu's forehead, waved his hand and said, "Go and invite Imperial Doctor Xu to the table, just wait for him!" ”

"Yes, Master Hou!" The maid turned to leave, and after a few minutes, she ran over panting and said, "Master Hou, Imperial Doctor Xu has already had a banquet with all the ladies and ladies and guests in the inner courtyard, so don't wait for him!" ”

Well, Chen Xu had no choice but to give up.

As the best imperial doctor and the director of the health center in Daqin, Xu Fu's reputation among the people is very high, and Chen Xu once warned Xu Fu to focus on obstetrics and gynecology in the health center, and pay more attention to the care and diagnosis and treatment of pregnant women and babies, so Xu Fu has indeed compiled and sorted out medical works such as the Compendium of Materia Medica in recent years, and has mainly focused on obstetrics and gynecology. Many obstetrics and gynaecology obstetrics and gynaecology nurses with experience in midwifery and nursing have been trained.

At present, the Great Qin inherited the etiquette system and tradition of the Zhou Dynasty, although Confucianism occupies the main academic territory, but it has not yet developed into a major sect that can dominate China, and the hundred schools of thought are not particularly respectful of Confucianism, there is a large number of critical consciousness, although the saying that men and women do not kiss has long existed, but it is not the mainstream in the folk and the court, in general, the relationship between men and women in the Zhou Dynasty is more chaotic, and the Qin and Han dynasties are also more chaotic, far from the situation of male and female defense after the perverted development of Song and Ming etiquette in later generations.

If men and women have the same identity, it is not surprising to sit at the same table, in the past, the prince and princess set up a banquet to entertain VIPs, and the wives and rooms will all attend to show respect, Chen Xu invited guests, Shui Qingrou and Ying Shiyan and others will drink and feast at the same table, but there are too many guests today, and almost all the male guests who came to visit brought female dependents, so Chen Xu in order to make a group of female guests not formal, directly let people set up a separate table of banquets in the inner courtyard, let Shui Qingrou and others accompany them, so that a group of women get together, and they can also discuss some private topics that are inconvenient for men to participate in.

Unexpectedly, the women's banquet specially arranged today actually added a strange creature.

Chen Xu was a little gloating, but he was afraid that today's meal must be the most painful one Xu Fu ate.

Some people say that a woman is like five hundred ducks, and then a table of women...... It is estimated that Xu Fu will feel that there are women arguing in his ears for a few days after he goes back.

Chen Xu made up the picture of Xu Fu in pain at the banquet in the inner courtyard, stood up with a smile and raised his wine glass and said: "Today, Ben Hou is happy to have a daughter, and the second brother has also returned from Lingnan, this is the Mid-Autumn Festival, this is the time when the three joys are coming, Ben Hou and all your friends drink together, congratulations to you on a happy holiday, family happiness, and prosperity in the coming days, please!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Hou, raise your glasses, and wish Lord Hou good luck and prosperity!" Chen Ping raised his glass and said loudly.

"I wish Lord Hou good luck and prosperity, please~"

"Please~~"

Everyone raised their glasses in celebration, then they all hid their faces and tilted their heads to pour a full glass of wine into their mouths.

"Happy, the wine of the Hou Ye's family is delicious to drink!" Hu Kuan wiped his mouth and sat down and laughed heartily.

"Haha, this is natural, the wine of the Hou family's family is very different from the wine sold by the winery on weekdays, all of which are specially selected fruits from each winery, we can't buy it if we want to buy it on weekdays, hurry up and pour all the wine, don't drink all the wine on the Hou Ye's house today, don't go out!" Someone laughed and said.

After a glass of wine, the atmosphere on the wine table instantly returned to laughter, Chen Xu sandwiched a piece of fragrant dog meat for himself and ate it in a few bites, and then picked up the wine glass and said loudly: "There may be something else lacking in the Benhou Mansion, but there is no shortage of wine, wine, mulberry wine, and drunken eight immortals are all sufficient.

"Okay, don't get drunk and have no home, Lord Hou, please~" In the voices one after another, everyone raised their wine glasses.

Soon, after three rounds of wine, many people gradually became more and more popular, and some people began to toast each other with their neighbors on the left and right, and between the ups and downs of dozens of pairs of chopsticks in the conversation and laughter, the wine banquet soon entered the most lively stage.

The maids who served were constantly shuttling between the guests to pour wine and food, and a luxurious banquet full of laughter and laughter was lively, and a full moon gradually rose with the fall of night, exuding a cold silver glow, reflecting the night sky deep and quiet.

Under the quiet and clear moonlight, Xianyang, together with the south bank of the Wei River and even the nearby counties of Jingyang, Liyang, Meiyang, Zhiyang, Weinan and other counties, are all brightly lit and crowded, forming the most magnificent night scene of lights.

And along the Daqin in all directions, the galloping post road radiates the counties and counties across the country, and all the counties and towns and villages in Daqin have opened a celebration mode with the participation of the whole people, Luoyang, Xinzheng, Handan, Daliang, Linzi, Wancheng, Wuzhong and Shouchun and other large cities, at this time and Xianyang are as bright as the tourists, countless people carry lanterns and wear new clothes out of their homes to participate in this festival, and on the street, there are also many floats in the crowd to and fro, The spilled candy, biscuits and coins caused countless civilians to loot and chase, and on both sides of the street, the shops lined up with open their doors, and all kinds of shouting voices came and went.
