Chapter 203: The Factory in the North

A black carriage running down a wide asphalt avenue.

The grass on both sides of the concrete avenue is trying to re-engulf the asphalt avenue.

The shadows of the big trees shining in the sunlight cast on the concrete avenue.

Avril thought for a long time, and finally spoke first, "It's not a bumpy road at all. ”

Mei Yi said, "Well, because it's paved with asphalt. There is a huge asphalt lake in the north that produces something called asphalt. Using this kind of thing to pave the road, the elasticity is better, and the carriage will naturally not shake when walking on it. ”

Avril let out a long sigh, she heard a whistle, opened the carriage curtains, and was startled by the magnificent scenery of the north, and then by the small train that followed. She said a little nervously, "Meiyi, what's that black smoke thing?" ”

"Oh, that's a little train, powered by a steam engine, and traveling along a fixed track. At present, it is still in trial operation, and the speed is not very fast. It's going to get faster and faster in the future. One day, I laid the railroad to Hualing, and if you feel homesick, you will soon be able to go home and see your parents. ”

"It's incredible. Meiyi, you know a lot. ”

"It's okay." Mei Yi said.

Avril secretly glanced at Mei Yi, and saw that he was sitting there like a child who had made a mistake, and felt a little funny in her heart: she was quite shy in her heart when she was like that in the morning.

"Are my parents okay?"

"Mother-in-law, father-in-law? They're pretty good. As soon as Mei Yi spoke, she realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly said, "Second princess, I called them father-in-law and mother-in-law because they have adopted Nana as their adopted daughter, not to take advantage of you." ”

Avril said with a flushed face, "Oh...... I knew about it, they had adopted Nana as their adopted daughter a long time ago, but they kept it a secret from her, and never let my sister and I tell her. ”

The two of them had nothing to say again.

After a while, Avril said, "I'm sorry, Meiyi, for making you uncomfortable." I don't know how long I'll be gone. ”

Mei Yi hurriedly said: "Second princess, don't think about it, it's obvious that I made you uncomfortable." I'm really sorry, I should have found out sooner and forced you to ...... in the morning."

"Please stop saying that, okay? I've said it all, and it's not your fault. Avril said with a crimson face.

"Ah, I'm sorry."

Silence all the way.

After arriving at the destination, Meiyi habitually opened the curtain, reached out to help Serena, and suddenly thought that it was not Serena but Avril in front of her, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly retracted her hand.

Avril had already stretched out her hand, and when she saw this, she had to withdraw her hand, looking embarrassed, but she accidentally tripped and screamed, and Mei Yi hurriedly hugged her.

The two looked at each other for a long time before they hurriedly separated.

Mei Yi felt a little remorseful in her heart: Avril must have been very scared and uneasy after what happened in the morning, but she still carefully put on makeup and accompanied me out. By doing so, I'm only going to make her more and more embarrassed.

Men have to be magnificent.

Thinking of this, Meiyi looked at Avril and stretched out her arm, Avril was stunned for a moment, then smiled shyly, hugged Meiyi's arm, and walked towards the factory. At that moment, Avril suddenly felt extremely relieved.

The weather was slightly cold, Avril held Meiyi's arm, and looked at the dense factories and magnificent snow-capped mountains, jungles, and lakes in front of her in surprise, and the whole person seemed to be open.

"Meiyi, it's so beautiful here." Avril said softly.

Mei Yi said softly: "Second princess, can you wronged you and call me dear outside?" Otherwise, others will think that our relationship broke down after only three days together. ”

Avril said generously, "Yes, dear. ”

A noble woman like her has been educated since she was a child how to maintain her husband's dignity outside and not embarrass him.

After being welcomed into the factory by the staff of the cola factory, the two changed into disinfected overalls and shuttled through the cola filling line. Avril was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth, and bottles of Coke streamed through the production line as if by magic.

Mei Yi suddenly remembered that Avril hadn't drunk Coke yet, so she took a bottle, opened it and handed it to her, not forgetting to remind her: "Drink slowly, Nana yesterday...... Yesterday you drank too fast and felt uncomfortable for a long time. ”

Avril nodded and took a sip, her mouth filled with countless foams, her tongue as if pricked with pins, but then her mouth was full of sweetness and fragrance. She looked up at Mei Yi and said, "Honey, this is pretty good." How is it done? ”

Mei Yi said: "The main thing is sugar water with carbon dioxide, plus some spices, and the specific recipe is only known to them." It didn't taste very much like the Coke I've drunk before, but it was just as good. ”

After a round around the Coke Field, the two came to the pharmaceutical factory again. Avril saw the medicines in the medicine factory that she had never seen before, so she asked, "In the Elven Kingdom, the medicines were all produced in the fairy factory. ”

Mei Yi said: "Yes, I have visited there. However, food and drug safety is directly related to the safety of people's lives, and we cannot blindly rely on others. So, we built several pharmaceutical factories ourselves. ”

Avril picked up a box of medication that read "nitroglycerin tablets" and she asked curiously, "What does this do?" ”

Meiyi said: "This is nitroglycerin tablets, which are mainly used to treat coronary heart disease and angina. Nana...... Nana, you sometimes have angina, which can be relieved quickly with this medicine. ”

Avril then remembered that there was indeed a box of this drug on the dresser.

When they came to a production hall and looked through the glass at the huge jars and various complex glass instruments inside, Avril said, "Honey, what is produced here?" ”

Mei Yi picked up a small glass bottle and said, "Oh, it's penicillin." ”

Avril said, "Is this for drinking?" ”

"No, it's for injections." Seeing that Avril didn't understand the meaning of "injection", Mei Yi just wanted to use a metaphor, and when she thought that it was Avril and not Serena standing in front of her, she hurriedly said, "It is to use a thin needle into a vein, which is mainly used to fight against several bacterial infections." ”

Avril took the penicillin from Meiyi's hand, and accidentally, the penicillin fell to the ground and shattered, and the colorless liquid flowed out.

Avril was just about to clean up, but the staff hurriedly stopped her and swept away the debris herself.

Avril said, "I'm sorry......"

Mei Yi smiled: "It's okay, most of this pharmaceutical factory is our family, if you want to be happy, you can smash it." ”

Avril said angrily, "I won't smash it." I've never seen this drug before, it must be expensive, right? ”

Mei Yi said: "Now the production capacity cannot go up, almost the price of the same volume of gold." Moreover, there is no market, and only we in the north can use it. ”

Avril Avril opened her mouth in an O-shape in surprise.

Mei Yi smiled: "Don't be like this, you are the top noble lady in the elf kingdom, do you still care about this?" ”

Avril shook her head slightly: "No, I'm worried, the civilians who need it can't afford it." ”

Mei Yi's heart moved, and said, "Don't worry, it won't." We have implemented free education and medical care, so many drugs must be produced by ourselves to reduce costs, which will also force the elves to lower the price of medicines, which is not only good for the north, but also good for the elven kingdom. Trust me, I've been to the Elf Forest and know how outrageous the prices of medicine can be. ”

Avril said, "I believe in you." ”

Mei Yi took Avril to the cloth factory, sugar factory, food processing factory and other factories to have a look, Avril was stunned, but for the first time in her life, she realized the power of technology.

Slowly, the relationship between the two people also became closer, and Avril naturally hugged Meiyi's arm without a little embarrassment. Mei Yi also introduced everything around her to Avril in detail, and the sense of estrangement gradually disappeared.

Until four o'clock in the afternoon, the two had a hasty lunch outside, and returned to the manor in a carriage, and when they arrived home, it was already starry. Mei Yi was just about to walk into the room with Avril, when she suddenly came back to her senses and said to Avril, "Second princess, you can rest well." I changed rooms and rested. ”

Avril was about to speak, but Mei Yi had already closed the door and walked away.

Avril was faintly disappointed.

She was taken aback by how she felt.

She took a shower, changed into loose pajamas, lay down in the warm quilt and read a book, and fell asleep unconsciously.

After sleeping for two hours, Avril woke up, washed up, and prepared to go down to the manor, and when she passed by Meiyi's study, she found Meiyi sitting in the study talking to Zejin.

Mei Yi quickly flipped through the documents in her hand, saw a document, stopped, and said with a smile: "My mother-in-law is going to send me money again, I must go back this New Year...... Uh, I'm going to have to get some more presents back. ”

"Which mother-in-law?" Ze asked.

"Lady Alicia. I'll have to change my name to Mom, or I'll ...... Serena must have felt uncomfortable. However, because there are two mothers, it will always be a mess. That's a problem. ”

Avril: Huh? The king doesn't care about anything else, but about this?

Ze Jin smiled: "It's a trouble. The best thing to do is to add the name, Mother Alicia, Mother Evangelin. ”

"Good idea." After speaking, Mei Yi carefully wrote down this matter on the memo and said with a smile, "Look, so there is something that everyone has to discuss together, and such a major matter has been solved like this?" ”

Avril: Well, it's a big deal.

Mei Yi said, "Oh, Kira and my little Mei Ai will be here in ten days, and that's great." By the way, there is no need to hold celebrations, the New Kingdom is now tight, and the money is used for people's livelihood. Today, my wife is still worried, afraid that ordinary people will not be able to afford medicine. I can't let her worry about that. ”

Ze Jin smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are really as attentive and gentle as ever. ”

Avril's heart outside the door also melted.

It turned out that he still remembered what I said casually.
