Poof, poof......

Streams of scorching steam erupted from the valves of the cylinders, and the huge energy propelled the pistons, crankshafts, and connecting rods to run, and finally turned with a stone grinding bone.

For this big guy who looks a little hideous, others subconsciously stand aside, but Ma Du feels kind from the heart, even if he does not have the opportunity to contact such old antiques in the future life.

Zhang Wuliu swept the golden plump wheat grains into the grinding eye, and the yellow and white powder slipped out of the cracks, and it was piled up on the grinding edge after a while, as long as it was sifted through with a fine basket, it was snow-white flour.

"Don't get five or six, it looks very dangerous, go back and add a funnel on it, and the wheat will automatically fall into the grinding eye."

"It's okay, I can't touch me with my hands and feet, this thing is really easy to use, I will get one at home in the future, and I will grind beans for spring flowers."

"Forget it, this thing is not cheap, and it is more practical for you to take care of your little donkey."

Don't look at this steam engine is inconspicuous, from the day of the project to the initial formation, the cost of silver is almost two thousand taels, and the coal used up in one burn is much more expensive than the forage used by a donkey.

It seems that these silver are not in vain, the operation of the steam engine has been very stable in the past two days, and today it is to test various data, Bo Qi is wearing a thick labor protection suit in a glazed workshop, skillfully adjusting the different valve recording parameters, and he really looks like an engineering technician in later generations.

Wu Fuzhong followed An Huzi to the test site of the steam engine, and the long figure under the shed stood out among a group of students. Although Wu Fuzhong was still very young at that time and many years had passed, he still recognized Ma Du at a glance, the person who changed his life.

I haven't seen him for many years, and his face has lost its former immaturity, with edges and corners on his face, and a mustache on his lips, which is very beautiful, like two heroic eyebrows. Yes, he is a teacher and a father, and he is no longer the handsome boy who used to tell stories to himself.

Wu Fuzhong unconsciously approached him slowly, he could already smell the fresh soap smell on his body, orchid smell, he subconsciously stretched out his hand, little by little to his back, his movements were very light but he was beating wildly, it seemed that as long as he touched his whole person, he would be redeemed.

God always hides far away when you need it, just when Wu Fuzhong's fingertips were about to touch his clothes, his body squatted down suddenly, Wu Fuzhong only felt a black shadow with a strong wind passing in front of him, and there was a loud bang behind him, and a lot of dust fell on the grass shed.

"Old Bo! You're going to kill me! Ma Du jumped to his feet and screamed, wanting to grab Bo Qi's collar and beat him up.

"The old man collects data parameters, and naturally wants to open the valve to the maximum, why don't you have any practical spirit at all." Bo Qi rolled his eyes disdainfully.

"Who said that you won't be allowed to practice, you should make it firmer, I hurt my brain last time, and this time I suffered a small life and died!"

Bo Qi looked at the broken connecting rod on the equipment, and said: "This iron casting is not strong, and it will be replaced by 100 steels next time." ”

"No matter how you tinker, I don't care anyway, if you do a good job, you will also leave a name in history. Little Hammer turned around and went to the mountain chief and said that I was frightened and wanted to take half a day off to rest. Ma Du turned around and left after speaking, almost bumping into Wu Fuzhong, looking at the other party's stunned appearance, "Hey, why is there a big living person, it looks like he is also frightened." ”

An Huzi said: "Aren't you frightened? That thing just now flew past our scalps. ”

Ma Du kicked An Huzi, "Didn't you kid go to the city to pick up people?" Why did you come back so soon, and you're lazy again. ”

"Master Hou, don't wronged me, I was picked up, isn't this the case, or recommended by the Ya of Xinghua County, Taizhou Prefecture." An Huzi patted Wu Fuzhong as he spoke, "What are you doing in a daze, haven't you seen Master Hou soon, hehe...... He's young, and he's really scared. ”

Wu Fuzhong finally came back to his senses and bowed his hand to the end, "I saw Mr. Pony in my late life!" As soon as the words came out, he couldn't help but regret that he used to call Ma Du like this, but now he is so impolite and may be exposed.

"Hahaha......" Ma Du laughed and didn't seem to be the slightest bit unusual, "Ben Hou is already the age of Ben Sanzhang this year, and I feel a lot younger when I hear you call me that." However, you can be recommended by the yamen at a young age, you must be a good seedling, and I will arrange a good gentleman for you when I go back. ”

Ma Du stretched out his hand and patted Wu Fuzhong's shoulder, and swaggered away after a few words of encouragement, Wu Fuzhong looked at his back, touched his shoulder, and said in his heart: "Maybe he may have forgotten me." ”

Bo Qi said disdainfully: "Cut, I'm embarrassed to say that I have run three times, and I still don't have a positive shape." After he finished scolding, he walked to Wu Fuzhong's side, and put on a kind smile, "The old man Bo Qi is the best gentleman in this academy, seeing that you have a bit of wisdom, you are willing to learn the art of civil engineering with me!" ”

In addition to the small stalls and hawkers on the official road, there are many shops, the largest of which are all from the Ma family, "Nanyang Timber Shop", "Nanyang Jewelry Shop", "Nanyang Spice Shop", ......

There are many such shops in the Ma family, except for Fangshan, the others are all opened in the most prosperous area of Yingtian, in short, they are all hung with overseas names, and in the mouth of the shopkeeper, there is a treasure land full of gold.

But no one in the Manchu Dynasty was interested in Nanyang, even the best ones of the Ma family were disdainful of Nanyang, and they were bent on making money to buy a house and land for future generations.

Just last year, Xu Da and Li Wenzhong led their troops deep into the grassland to attack Helin, and instead of encountering setbacks as in history, they won a rare victory. Except for the emperor Aiyu Zhilitara, who only fled with his body, the others were captured, and Wang Baobao, who was known as the pillar of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, also died in battle.

Although the court of the Northern Dynasty has not died, it has been greatly damaged, and it has no appeal, and the old forces of Mongolia have also fallen into division and fighting with each other, and it is estimated that Lan Yu will not have the opportunity to make contributions to fishing in the future.

Except for Nahachu, who is ambiguous with Lao Zhu in Liaodong, Lao Zhu is already an enemy in the whole world, and I am afraid that he will focus on internal affairs in the future. The world is already peaceful, but the court is becoming more and more dangerous, do you really have to wait for Lao Zhu to raise the knife, do you know to leave a way back for yourself?

"Master Hou! Master Hou! You've gone too far, we're here. ”

"Oh." Ma Du got off the official road and went straight to his house, and when he saw a carriage parked in front of the door, he asked the porter, "Whose carriage is this?" ”

"Back to the Hou Ye, it is the carriage of Changfu, the eldest aunt has returned from the Wa Kingdom, and she will bring the eldest lady back to save her relatives."
