067 Waterwheels & Steamed Buns

Situ Xian read it quietly, shook his head and smiled: "The master under Steward Teng is really good, now repair the furnace, and the construction can start at the beginning of summer, and it can also catch up with the construction period." What does Steward Xie think? ”

"I don't know anything about ironmaking...... But is this bellows pulled by humans? Xuanji asked.

"Uh, yes." Steward Teng barely suppressed his contempt, the bellows don't need to be pulled by anyone, so what do you want to pull? Livestock? How can the animals know how to push and pull back and forth!

Xuanji took out a homemade charcoal pen from his sleeve pocket, took a piece of white paper, and drew as he spoke: "Steward Teng's ironmaking workshop is next to the Lanjiang River, you can use water to pull the bellows and make a water......wheel next to the river vein" Xuanji hastily drew a diagram of the general composition of the waterwheel, explained the working principle, and then continued: "The river water flow drives the waterwheel, and the waterwheel drives the gear plus this movable rod, you can push and pull the bellows day and night, and it can also be used to fry steel, and the pipeline next to the waterwheel can transport water to nearby places, This thing is not difficult to do, in addition to being used as a bellows to push the bellows, it can also be used for weaving, grinding, rice and so on......"

Xuanji's sketch was roughly drawn, but Situ Xian and Steward Teng were both knowledgeable people, and they soon understood what Xuanji meant, and were amazed by such whimsy, Steward Teng swept away the previous contempt for Xuanji, and left his seat and said respectfully: "Thank you for your advice, Teng understands what it means to have a sky outside the sky and someone outside the world!" ”

Seeing that he was so polite, Xuanji was embarrassed: "I'm just talking, whether I can do it or not, it's hard to say what the effect will be." ”

Steward Teng laughed and said: "If you can do it, you can do it, there is a wonderful way to thank the steward, if you don't do it well, Teng Mou, the steward, has no face to go now!" ”

Another steward surnamed Lu, who had been silent, suddenly said: "I didn't expect the river to have this wonderful use, thank you steward for opening my eyes." I'm going back and trying! With that, he snatched the sketch on the table, said goodbye, and left.

Steward Teng glared and said, "The surname is Lu, don't forget me if you make it!" ”

Steward Lu threw down a sentence "Got it!" "The man has walked to the springboard.

Xuanji looked at this super action faction in surprise, and heard Situ Xian smile in his ears: "Steward Lu still likes to make mechanical equipment as much as he did back then. ”

Steward Lu ran away, Zhao Jianshen didn't think it was strange, and continued to discuss other matters in the future of Yunchuan Iron Mine, Xuanji was too sleepy, her head was little by little, and finally she fell asleep on the table unconsciously.

Zhao Jianshen just laughed when he saw it, and Situ first cleared his throat and interrupted: "Do you want to send Steward Xie back to rest first?" ”

Zhao Jianshen nodded and said, "It's okay, I opened the lock overnight, no wonder I don't have energy now." ”

Unlock? Also on the ground for a night? Steward Xie, what kind of hobby is this? Situ first looked at Steward Teng.

Zhao Jianshen stretched out his hand and clicked on Xuanji's sleeping hole, picked her up sideways as a matter of course, and threw down a sentence, "I'll come back later, you wait!" And he went out.

Steward Teng asked, "What's the matter with the young master and Steward Xie?" "A good beauty doesn't take her into the room to be pampered but wants her to be in charge, but then again, this woman has such a talent, and it is a waste to only put it in the room.

Situ Xian said innocently: "I don't know...... Zhao Zheng said that Steward Xie is likely to become the head mother of the Shen family in the future......"

"Huh?!" Steward Teng was taken aback, and secretly glad that he had not offended the future master mother by making any insulting remarks just now.

When she woke up, Xuanji found that she had changed into light and soft pajamas, lying on the bed in her room, as if she remembered that she should have discussed things with the stewards in the hall.

Situ Xian and Steward Teng had already disembarked and left, and the boat left the dock and was driving on the river at some point. Thinking that for a long time, she didn't have to see Situ Xian again, Xuanji felt a little more relaxed, but the weather was too cold for her now, so she didn't even have the interest in going out to see the river view, and when she heard that Lan Xi was going to prepare lunch for her, she suddenly thought that in addition to the room, the warmest thing now should be the kitchen!

So he smiled and said, "Lan Xi, you take me to the kitchen, I'll see if there's anything delicious." ”

Lan Xi was taken aback: "Steward Xie, the kitchen is that kind of place...... Whatever you want to eat, just ask someone to do it. ”

"I just didn't think about what to eat, let's go." Xuanji put on a simple cotton coat and dragged Lan Xi away.

Lan Xi couldn't stop it, so he had to lead the way obediently.

The kitchen was smoky, Xuanji's clothes were ordinary, and most of her small face was covered by a high scarf, and the people in the kitchen saw her following behind Lan Xi, they just thought it was a maid or something, and they didn't care too much.

Xuanji pulled Lan Xi's sleeves, and Lan Xi said helplessly to Aunt Liu, the kitchen steward: "What is there to eat in the kitchen?" ”

Aunt Liu glanced at Lan Xi and said, "Is it Steward Xie who got up?" "There are not many nobles on the ship, who has used the meal, what have they used, Aunt Liu remembers it clearly in her heart.

Xuanji hurriedly replied, "It's me who is hungry, and Sister Lan Xi said to bring me to find something to eat." ”

Aunt Liu listened and pointed to the steamer on the side and said: "Some freshly steamed steamed buns, I plan to send them down later to eat for the boatmen who change shifts, you can take two and eat them." ”

Lan Xi was about to open her mouth to object, but Xuanji had already replied first: "Thank you, auntie!" "When I came in, I could smell the aroma of steamed buns.

Xuanji salivated at the fat steamed buns in the steamer, reached out and fished one to eat, ate a few bites, looked up at Lan Xi's thoughtful eyes, remembered the problem in the animation "Smart Yixiu" back then, and smiled: "There is a question to test you!" Do you know what diseases can be cured by freshly baked steamed buns? ”

Lan Xi was stunned and said, "Can steamed buns cure diseases?" How come you've never heard of it? ”

Xuanji laughed and said, "It can cure hunger." Hunger is not a trivial disease, when you are hungry, you will be weak and dizzy, and you will die after two or three days of hunger. ”

What kind of weird thing is this?!

Aunt Liu was working not far away, and when she heard Xuanji's words, she laughed: "The little girl knows the goods, and the steamed buns can be used to satisfy hunger." Don't look at this steamed bun looks ordinary, my family has spent a lot of effort and dough fermentation, and I can't eat such a good steamed bun outside, although I can't get on the table of the nobles, but the workers all rely on it to eat it to have the strength to work! ”

Xuanji saw that someone agreed, glanced at Lan Xi proudly, turned her head and patted Aunt Liu on the back and said, "No wonder this steamed bun is so delicious!" ”

"Eat as many as you like!" Aunt Liu was busy with the things at hand, and she didn't raise her head.

"Thank you, auntie! It's a pity that I eat a small amount, and I will be full after eating one big steamed bun. ”

"Also, a little girl like you knows that she doesn't eat much!" Aunt Liu secretly thought, this girl's mouth is quite sweet, I don't know which room it is.

Xuanji smiled and lowered her head and continued to fight with the steamed buns. Lan Xi found a bowl of tea and handed it to her, Xuanji was feeling dry mouth, took it and poured half a bowl of it, thanked Lan Xi with a habitual smile, and lowered her head to continue eating.

It's been a lot of school, and it's been a lot quieter...... This period is transitional, and by the way, I miss the monk Yixiu.
