The young man surnamed Deng next to him shook his head and said: "It's not a false name, you are really powerful, you have made so many things, only cement I have researched the method." And I used your cement to figure out the ingredients, and I can only describe you as a genius for your unbelievable creativity. ”

Fang Xiaoyu arched his hand: "Brother Deng is too high for me." Wu Feng next to him shook his head and said: "It's not an exaggeration at all, I also envy the Fang family's shops for having so many special goods, with so many special goods, even their other goods are selling a lot, it can be said that with Young Master Fang, the Fang family's shops can make several times more money." ”

Seeing Fang Xiaoyu so polite, Wu Yu's words softened: "This matter is indeed our fault, if Young Master Fang wants to deal with us, we have nothing to say." Fang Xiaoyu waved his hand and said: "Don't mention it again, we don't know each other, I listened to the meaning of your words just now, it seems that there is something unspeakable that has to sell those cements, can you tell me?" ”

Wu Feng sighed and said, "If Young Master Fang doesn't dislike it, you can go with us to have a look." Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "It's good to take a look." Thoble felt that following these strangers was not good for Fang Xiaoyu's safety, but as a former marshal, he still had a good sense of what he said. Seeing that Fang Xiaoyu had the intention of soliciting these people, he didn't want to open his mouth to stop them, but just let his subordinates cheer up and strictly protect Fang Xiaoyu's safety.

The Wu brothers closed the door of the shop, and together with the man surnamed Deng, they took Fang Xiaoyu and a group of iron-blooded guards to the slum area in the west of the city. Walking on the road, Fang Xiaoyu had nothing to do, turned his head and asked, "Brother Deng, how did you and the Wu brothers meet?" ”

The man surnamed Deng said: "I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Deng Jiaxiang, I am from Donghai County, and I am a fellow villager with the Wu brothers." I have five righteous brothers, the eldest brother and the Wu brothers grew up. We six brothers studied together, but later we had no intention of going to officialdom, so we made an appointment to go outside. The Wu brothers agreed very much after learning about it, and they also contributed money to fund us. ”

"Where have you been?" Fang Xiaoyu asked with interest. Deng Jiaxiang said with a smile: "We took a boat to the New World, and later moved to the Western Continent, where we discovered a lot of new knowledge that we had never heard of, so our six brothers worked there to earn money and study at the same time, and we have been living there for six years, and just returned to the capital last year." ”

Fang Xiaoyu was surprised: "You have been studying in the Western Continent for six years? Fang Xiaoyu was secretly shocked, obediently, he has been working and studying in the Western Continent for six years, isn't that a returnee, this time he can pick up a treasure.

Fang Xiaoyu was surprised: "Since you have returned from your studies, why don't you join the government?" but they relegated to the slums. Deng Jiaxiang said angrily: "Of course we want to serve the government, but when we went to the Ministry of Industry to present the model of the steam engine we made, they actually said that it was just a child's toy, and the real manufacturing depends on exquisite craftsmen." ”

"Steam engine?" Fang Xiaoyu was surprised again: "Is it a reciprocating steam engine?" "Huh? Do you also know about reciprocating steam engines? Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "Of course, I have been looking for talents in this area, I didn't expect to meet it here by chance, I don't know if Brother Deng is willing to help me." ”

"Help?" Deng Jiaxiang smiled: "Of course I do, my brothers respect you the most, if you want, they will be happy to follow you." Fang Xiaoyu smiled secretly, this is the star effect, it seems that his reputation is not bad, and he has some fans so soon, especially scientific and technological talents.

They chatted and soon reached the slum, and the Wu brothers led the way, and they passed through several narrow alleys, and finally came to the door of a large courtyard. Wu Yu stepped forward and patted the door, the door opened a small crack, and a girl's head poked out, and after seeing the person clearly, she smiled and said, "Uncle Wu, you are back." ”

Wu Yu said: "Xiaofeng, everyone is here." Xiao Feng nodded: "Everyone is here, I don't know who these people are......" Xiao Feng looked a little flustered after seeing so many people behind him, especially Fang Xiaoyu, who was gorgeously dressed, and the soldiers behind him who were loaded with guns and ammunition, and his face was slightly hesitant. Wu Feng stepped forward and said, "It's okay, they're all friends." It seems that this little girl still trusts Wu Feng very much, and when he said this, Xiao Feng nodded happily and opened the door completely.

Fang Xiaoyu asked the Iron Blood Guards to wait at the door, and only took Tobul and a few others into the courtyard. This is the most common compound in the capital, the yard is surrounded by low houses, many of the houses have no windows, can only be blocked by wooden boards, the roof is covered with straw, and there are several earthen stoves in the corners of the courtyard, where some elderly women are cooking on fires, and the smoke from the stoves chokes them with a cough.

Wu Yu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Grandma Wu, Grandma Zhang, why did you come out to work again, you can wait for us to come back and cook the meal." An old lady with red eyes slowly stood up and said, "We are not old enough to move, so we always let you serve like something." ”

Fang Xiaoyu knew that they were not relatives after listening to them, and he asked Deng Jiaxiang next to him: "These old people were adopted by you?" Deng Jiaxiang nodded: "There are more than 20 old people and more than 50 children here, most of whom we picked up." It's a pity that our brothers don't have the ability to make money, at most they can only teach the children to read and write, and it is all up to the Wu brothers to make money to feed them, if it weren't for the lack of liquidity in their store last time, we really have no money to buy food, and we wouldn't have risked selling those rough cement I made. ”

Fang Xiaoyu nodded, stepped forward to support the old lady and said, "Hello Grandma Wu." Grandma Wu's eyes were a little dizzy, she didn't see the gorgeous clothes on Fang Xiaoyu's body clearly, and she said that Fang Xiaoyu was also an orphan who was picked up. She hugged Fang Xiaoyu into her arms and said softly: "Whose kid is this, Xiao Wu picked it up again, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, when you get to grandma, you will be home." ”

Seeing Grandma Wu's actions, the Wu brothers were startled, Wu Yu was afraid that Fang Xiaoyu would be angry, so he hurriedly said beside him: "Grandma Wu, this is our honored guest, not a child who picked it up." Grandma Wu listened to Wu Yu's words and chattered: "Really? That's really sorry. Only then did she let go of Fang Xiaoyu's body.

Fang Xiaoyu slowly stood up and said with a smile: "It's nothing, Grandma Wu, we don't have to cook today, I invite you to eat something good." After saying that, he asked a few guards to go to the McDonald's fast food restaurant to order more food, and seeing that Fang Xiaoyu was unimpressed, the Wu brothers were obviously relieved.

Fang Xiaoyu didn't fake it, and personally helped Grandma Wu back into the room, he looked up and found that there was nothing else in the whole room except for a clay kang against the wall, not even a chair, only a stack of coarse porcelain bowls by the wall, and a pile of broken cotton wool in the corner of the clay kang, it seemed that this was their quilt at night.

Seeing Fang Xiaoyu helping Grandma Wu back into the house, Wu Feng hurriedly walked over and said, "Young Master Fang, you see there's no place to sit here." Fang Xiaoyu interrupted him and said, "It's nothing, it's the same wherever you sit." After saying that, he sat on the edge of the earthen kang.

At this moment, Deng Jiaxiang, who had been silent since he entered the courtyard, walked over with a few adults, followed by many children watching the excitement, he pointed at Fang Xiaoyu and said, "Brothers, look, this is Young Master Fang who keeps you talking all day long." One of them hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I didn't expect that Young Master Fang, who is famous in the capital, is so young, and he has been looking up for a long time." Another said: "To have such achievements at such a young age is worthy of being the person I admire the most." ”

Deng Jiaxiang smiled at Fang Xiaoyu and said: "My brothers are like this, they don't hide their words when they talk. Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "It's nothing, I like to be close to straight people, don't you introduce a few Brother Deng?" ”

Deng Jiaxiang then remembered that he hadn't come to introduce him in a hurry, so he pointed to a few people and introduced: "This is my eldest brother Feng Jingru, second brother Zhu Lijiao, fourth brother Qian Huilin, fifth brother Qian Huiqiang and sixth brother Li Zhonggong." Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "I don't know what a few people in Lu Dao are learning?" ”

Li Zhonggong was surprised: "Young Master Fang also knows that the Western Continent is divided into disciplines?" Have you also studied in the Western Continent, it's not like you're so young. Fang Xiaoyu said: "I was about to go to the Western Continent to have a look, but I haven't been there yet." Feng Jingru arched his hand and said, "Let me tell you." My sixth brother and I studied mechanics, my second brother studied agriculture, my third brother studied chemistry, my fourth brother studied shipbuilding, and my fifth brother studied engineering construction. Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "The empire doesn't need a few people, it's the empire's loss, I don't know if you are willing to help me." ”
