At the gate of the Tongtian Courtyard, a janitor Xiao Si looked into the distance, there were more than 30 literati walking with idle steps, led by a strange stranger, and there were two lions beside him, according to what the housekeeper said at the time, the owner of the courtyard, that is, the president of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, was a foreigner.

The janitor Xiao Si is about 20 years old, his eyes are rolling, he looks very shrewd, and he thinks to himself at this moment: If it is really the president, he will definitely perform better for a while, and if the president is happy, maybe he will promote himself!

Seeing that it was getting closer and closer, only a few steps to the gate of the other courtyard, Xiao Si immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Hello President, the little one has been waiting here for a long time. ”

"Oh, you're pretty conscientious, are you so sure I'm the president?"

"President, you are dressed with such a distinct personality, you look extraordinary, you know that it is you at a glance, and this mighty and domineering golden lion that only the president can afford to raise, is definitely right. ”

Xiao Si tried his best to pat himself on the back, hoping to gain the favor of the president, and it seemed that it really worked.

"Oh, you're pretty good at talking, what's your name?"

Xiao Tian didn't expect that this janitor guy was quite able to speak, and the sycophants were very useful, and the people who could pat the sycophants since ancient times lived very nourishingly, and by the way, they might be useful.

"Go back to the old man, the little one is called Wang Yi, the old man is back to the house, the little one is going to call you the housekeeper!" Wang Yi was happy in his heart, and he didn't waste his hard work.

"Well, you go and call him, I'll wait for him in the West Wing. ”

Xiao Tian commanded, hearing the name Wang Yi reminded him of the Wang Tian who died in the mountains, but this thought flashed through his mind.

Wang Yi quickly ran to the house, the housekeeper's matter, Xu Honglian mentioned it, such a big yard, no one can manage it, Xiao Tian can't deal with everything alone, but they haven't met yet. Then, he led everyone to the West Wing.

There are many rooms in the west wing, and the space is large enough, Xiao Tian decided to temporarily vacate the most spacious one to be used as a temporary classroom, he wants to teach some of the principles of the steam engine to these scholars, and then teach more people to use it through them.

Choosing and choosing, the first living room in front of the front was spacious enough, Xiao Tian led this group of bachelors to remove some unnecessary screens, vases and other things, and the whole hall became more spacious.

Due to the large number of people and the lack of enough stools, when he was worried, the housekeeper came, and he walked up to Xiao Tian with a fifteen-year-old maid behind him, and introduced himself.

"Hello Mr. President, my name is Ji Maocai, I am your housekeeper, and you can leave the chores in the other courtyard to me to arrange. ”

The housekeeper Ji Maocai said to Xiao Tian that he was a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed as a decent housekeeper, and what made it particularly easy for people to remember was his two mustaches, and he looked very gentle.

"It turns out that you are the housekeeper, then you will be in charge of the whole house, I plan to use this room as a temporary school, you can ask your subordinates to get more tables and stools in a while!"

When Xiao Tian saw Steward Ji, his speech and demeanor made people feel that it was okay, and the person Xu Honglian was looking for had a good eye.

"Okay, sir, I'll do it in a moment, and I've got a maid for you. Steward Ji said, then turned his head to the maid behind him and called: "Xiuxiu, don't you come to see the master soon, you will be the personal maid of the president in the future, no matter what the master tells you to do, you can't refuse, understand?"

"Yes, the slave will definitely serve the master well. ”

The little girl behind the housekeeper whispered, then took a step forward, walked in front of Xiao Tian, bowed and said: "Master, the slave's name is Wu Xiuxiu, she is 15 years old this year, what is the matter with the master, just tell Xiuxiu to be." ”

Wu Xiuxiu is petite, her appearance is immature and delicate, her face is okay, she speaks softly, she is dressed in a maid outfit, and she looks pitiful.

If it were on earth, except for those places that were in the midst of war, poverty and backwardness, the youth of fifteen years old should be spent in school, but here, they have to be maids, and no one would be willing to condescend to others and serve others if they had to.

"Well, okay, you go and call the kitchen to prepare lunch for today's lunch, everyone here is eating in the house. ”

Xiao Tian said to Xiuxiu, the housekeeper arranged a maid for him, which is not bad, so that he will not find anyone when he has something to order.

As for the maid's age is so young, he doesn't care too much, poor family, life is not easy, there is a bite to eat, it is already very good, in this world, getting a job as a maid, maybe for them, it is a very lucky thing.

"Yes, slave and maid will go. Xiuxiu finished speaking and exited the living room.

When the housekeeper saw the maid leaving, he said, "Master, do you have anything else to order?"

"You are older than me, call me master, you seem to be very old, you still call me president! In addition to the table and stool, you can help me prepare some chalk and two blackboards, for the time being, let's do it!"

Xiao Tian felt that it was almost over, and there was nothing to command, so he asked the housekeeper to prepare these things. After working for so long, he didn't plan to continue his work, and let the people he had recruited find a place to rest on their own, and his mind was thinking about how to teach them the principles of the steam engine.

The steam engine, to put it simply, boils water, the steam enters the cylinder along the pipe, and the piston is pushed in the cylinder, and the piston pushes the rotor with the flywheel with the connecting rod, and through the rotor, the power is transmitted to other places where work needs to be done.

Modern people, you can understand as soon as you hear it, because there is a lot of contact, but they are the first contact, if the explanation is not good, it is possible to listen to the clouds, and in the end you still can't understand, so the explanation needs a skill.

"Well, it would be nice to have a mock-up of it, so it's easier for them to understand. Xiao Tian muttered quietly, it seems that he has to go back and get a simple steam engine, and after teaching them the principle, let them imitate it.

It doesn't matter whether the quality of the things made is good or bad, as long as it runs successfully, then the first step is successful, build a few more, and after the technology is proficient, the quality will naturally improve.

Thinking of manufacturing, the manufacturing level of the mortals in the cultivation realm is relatively low, Xiao Tian has been around the blacksmith shop in the city, simple items such as swords and hoes are okay, if they are allowed to build a slightly complicated steam engine, I don't know how the effect is.

In the earth, the steam engine used to be built, and it was also manual, but it was inefficient and slow, and it all required a process, so take it slowly, just take the first step.

However, in the cultivation realm, in addition to mortals, there are also true cultivators and demon beasts, not to mention demon beasts, cultivators want to establish formations and refine magic weapons, I don't know what their craftsmanship is?

All this can only be known after one's own cultivation is achieved, or after entering the cultivator sect, it will naturally be known.

Xiao Tian took out a little snack, handed it to Xiao Qi to eat, and gave Xiao Huang some more, the time passed slowly, and it was time for lunch.
