Chapter 419: England, Sichuan Country

"What are you thinking? So distracted. Wang Shixun and Shen Anan stood together, tilting their heads slightly, looking at the expression on her face.

felt like she had changed into a different person, and the expression on her face was ethereal and unpredictable.

"Nothing? By the way, what did you say about looking for me? Then her expression changed again, and it was almost the same as what she had just seen.

Hearing Shen An'an ask about this, Wang Shixun became annoyed, and couldn't help but say: "Look at me, I will take care of catching up with you as soon as I come up." I forgot what I was here today. I heard my cousin say, you want someone to make something, what is it called a sewing machine? ”

"Hey, how do you know this, have you ever heard of a sewing machine?" Hearing Wang Shixun mention this matter, Shen Anan felt that he was negligent. There was a person in front of her, right there, and she was willing to go far away.

"Can you tell me more about that? I've seen a lot of strange things outside, but I'll have to investigate whether there are any of them. ”

As soon as Shen Anan heard that there was a door, he was immediately interested, and hurriedly replied, "Okay, I want to set up a women's and children's bureau now, but our women's and children's bureau needs to have its own main business, so I racked my brains and thought of setting up a garment factory, which is for everyone to make clothes." Of course, when I say making clothes, I use machines instead of manual labor, so that a lot of clothes can be mass-produced. ”

"That's a good idea, I heard my cousin say today that he went out to find some skilled craftsmen to come back. I'd like to see what kind of machine you want. ”

Shen An'an didn't know whether Western countries were in the Renaissance era or the era of the Second Industrial Revolution at this time. If the latter is the case, then her plan to build sewing machines in batches may be feasible.

So she roughly told Wang Shixun about the construction principle of the sewing machine, and if he had seen it before, he would definitely be able to find it.

After speaking, she looked at Wang Shixun with a look of hope. "Brother Xun, have you ever seen this sewing machine-like machine? There is a foot pedal at the foot, and the top is in the shape of a horse's hoof, and there is a hinge in the middle that can also be used to track the line. ”

"See? I didn't pay much attention to it, though. Or the next time I go out, I'll keep an eye on you. ”

Shen Anan can't wait for next time, she needs it now.

"Brother Xun, let me ask, every time you go to sea to go overseas, how long does it usually take to take a steamer."

"It can be as little as ten days, as much as a few months, this time is not necessarily."

Shen Anan nodded when she heard this, ten days were still within her plan.

"Why do you want to go outside?" Wang Shixun could see that Shen Anan listened to his words and was a little moved. Yes, it is understandable that a woman with such a trendy mind as hers would want to go outside to see a different world.

"Well, there's this idea. But is your boat reliable, I mean ten days, back and forth, can you be sure? ”

Shen Anan now needs to get an exact time before he can make a detailed plan. When, when the machine is done, then everything else will have to be prepared in the same way.

Wang Shixun thought about it and replied: "We are on a merchant ship from Chengjiapu, and their family has been in the running boat business for several generations. Generally, outsiders don't bring it, and they must be introduced by acquaintances. If you are really in a hurry, you can go back and forth in five to six days, and I am afraid that your small body will not be able to bear it. ”

"Cut, you're underestimating me, do you think I haven't been on a boat?" Shen Anan immediately glared back at Wang Shixun unconvinced, and could see that she was already a little moved.

"It's not that I'm underestimating you. Instead, the sea is windy and rough, there are many reefs, and sometimes, the ship will enter the fog whirlpool and will spin in place for a long time. With such a big wind and waves, people in the whirlpool are often turned around. Don't talk about you, I'm afraid of encountering such a situation. Sometimes, every time we go out, we muster up a lot of courage and dare to go out once after a long time of cultivation. ”

"I'm worried about you."

Shen Anan understood, it turned out that it was because of the harsh environment at sea.

In this case, she will have to prepare for seasickness in advance. For example, bringing a few lemon slices, or ginger slices in your mouth, as well as candied fruits, can prevent people from getting seasick. Bring plenty of food and water, as well as clothing. With Wang Shixun as a guide, it is estimated that it will be better.

"Then Brother Xun can make an exception for me and take me out once. What's the name of the place we're going? ”

"If you really want to get out, I can take you out. The place we went to was called the British Isles. It was an island near England, but it was huge. We usually rest on the island for a few days before taking a boat to England. ”

"England? Isn't that England? Isn't the nearest thing here is not an island nation, but England? ”

God, Shen Anan was a little excited in his heart, I don't know if this England is familiar to him, the England he saw in history textbooks and TV. A country with an ancient history and culture. Are the people there all blonde and blue-eyed, and they speak English?

Shen Anan was suddenly a little excited, if she could go to England, I don't know if there is a country like China in this world?

If she can find Huaxia, then will she be able to find the place where she grew up and then find her own home.

"Hey, you know this, but what kind of country is the island country?"

"The island nation is a small land, and the people there are very clever and hateful. People of their ethnic group like to wear clogs and kimonos. It was originally a very weak country, but they followed the example of the big countries and had the courage to reform. After the Meiji Restoration, it officially entered a capitalist society, and its industry developed rapidly, far surpassing that of many countries. ”

"Clogs, kimono? Are you talking about the country of Sichuan? However, their country is very backward, and there are still many slaves. ”

Shen Anan was very excited when he heard this, grabbed Wang Shixun's arm and said, "Where is the Sichuan Kingdom, do you know?" ”

It was the first time for Wang Shixun to see Shen Anan so excited, but it was she who took the initiative to pull her arm, so he didn't want to break free. I only heard him say: "I haven't been to Sichuan, but I've heard people say it." If you really want to check it out, we can go too. ”

"Okay, that's it." Shen An'an's mood was very high.

Wang Shixun struck while the iron was hot, and said busily: "Are you sure, do you really want to go?" If we are sure that we are going, we will set a date, but we will leave soon. ”

Seeing Wang Shixun's happiness, Shen Anan's mind suddenly cleared up a lot, Li Sheng's problem was not solved, and she couldn't leave for the time being.

So she said leisurely: "Wait for two more days, and when the dust settles on my side, we will set off." ”
