Chapter 168: The Steam Engine and Colt
When Wen Chen left Dongchang, it was already evening, it was late autumn, and the sun set much earlier than before.
This time, he gave benefits to the subordinates of Dongchang and Zhenguo Division, and used him nearly 20,000 taels of silver, which was almost one-third of what he brought back from Qingzhou.
The 20,000 taels of silver basically eliminated the bad influence of Guan Xiaoda's salary draw before, so that his subordinates had a deeper sense of dependence on him, the factory master, Wen Chen knew the importance of buying people's hearts in the court, but to achieve sustainable development, there was silver to take care of these subordinates every month, and the most important thing was to help Mo Xuyou expand the scale of business as soon as possible.
When he returned to the Wen Mansion, Master Mo Buyu was lying on his special rocking chair smoking a cigarette pouch, and he didn't react much when he saw Wen Chen coming back, and he said lightly before that the county lord had been waiting for you for a long time, and then closed his eyes again.
According to Hexiang quietly told him, Xiao Heidou has been losing his temper since he came back this morning, and he has locked himself in the house all day without eating, and Lao Luo, who served beside him before, received a letter back to Yizhou half a month ago, so no one dared to disturb.
Wen Chen nodded slightly, went around to the backyard to Xiao Heidou's bedroom, and glanced through the crack in the door, there was a black hole inside, and there was a slight snoring sound, it seemed that he was asleep.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Rushed back to the study and spread out the paper, and drew on the paper with a pen and ink.
"My lord, you have been traveling all the way, it is better to eat later and rest early."
Hexiang came in from outside the door and walked in with a few side dishes.
Wen Chen sighed and said helplessly, "Time waits for no one, from now on, my lord and I will carry a famine of twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver on my back every month, how dare I stop?" ”
"So much?" Hexiang was taken aback, carefully put the food aside, and leaned over to Wen Chen to look at the strange patterns on his paper.
"My lord, what kind of thing did you draw here, it looks so strange......"
"Steam engine."
"Chickens?" Hexiang was puzzled, "Can you eat this kind of chicken?" ”
Wen Chen smiled and shook his head, "You can't eat it, this is a chicken that moves on its own." ”
When Hexiang heard this, the second monk was even more confused, in her cognition, there are only two kinds of chickens in this world, one is eaten, and the other can move by itself, but it has nothing to do with the monster drawn on the paper of her own family.
"Adults are really good at ......"
Although I don't understand what Wen Chen is drawing, this thing must be very powerful.
Wen Chen smiled, "I'll go to the market tomorrow and buy some ingredients for our family." ”
"Adults want to cook?" He Xiang was surprised, except for the fact that he had asked Young Master Yu to buy pig pancreas when he was researching insulin a few days ago, he had never bothered about these aspects.
"Sort of." Wen Chen nodded, "You have to remember the things we want, fifty catties of eggs, fifty catties of lard, fifty catties of lean pork, two bags of cereal flour, the more onions, ginger, garlic and seasonings used in the kitchen on weekdays, the better, fifty catties of seasonal green leafy vegetables, and the chili peppers we showed you before." ”
He originally planned to make some braised beef noodles for Han Chuang to taste, but Dasheng forbade the slaughter of cultivated cattle, even if there was a way to find some now, once the mass production of instant noodles was needed in the future, the beef on the market could not meet the needs of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, so he simply replaced it with pork.
"The slave has written it down." Lotus nodded solemnly.
Maybe it's because I haven't seen Master Wen for many days, but I always feel that he looks a little better again, and I can't help but secretly look at him twice.
I didn't want Wen Chen to suddenly look at her and freeze his mind, so he leaned his nose over and put it on her shoulder.
"Big ...... What are you doing, my lord...... Do? Hexiang blushed for a moment from this intimate action.
Didn't Lord Wen have an idea for me? I heard that after the cleansing of some eunuchs, they will still yearn for the things of men and women, although they can't have fun, but they still have a way to vent their desires in private, isn't Lord Wen also this kind of person?
But he's a eunuch!
But with such a handsome eunuch and such a capability, I don't seem to suffer......
Then how does Your Majesty explain there?
Just as Hexiang was thinking wildly, Wen Chen suddenly asked, "What does this man's incense smell like on your body, it smells good......
Hexiang was stunned for a moment, it turned out that it was because of this, and while feeling a little relieved, there seemed to be a trace of loss in her heart.
"Jasmine fragrance, the perfume was sent to the house by Lord Mo before, and the slave maid picked a few bottles to use it, if the adult likes this smell, the slave and maid will use it in the future......"
Wen Chen let out a thoughtful "oh", turned around and returned to the desk, "It's okay, our family has to go out for a while, you can rest early, don't take care of me." ”
"Slave...... The slave and maid retired. ”
After Hexiang finished speaking, she hurriedly lowered her head and retreated, and the deer in her chest slammed into each other.
Wen Chen lowered his head and thought for a while, and saw Mo Xuyou smoking a pipe in the yard without comment, and immediately smiled with relief.
I said that this smell is so familiar, the last time Lao Yinbi gave himself a cigarette pouch, there was this smell in the smoke.
Since getting used to the feeling after being closed to the six senses, my sensitivity to smells has also improved a lot compared to before, and I don't know what new experiences I will have on the day I unlock the seal.
The candlelight flickered, the tip of the pen kept wandering on the paper, the steam engine was not difficult to understand, anyone with a little basic knowledge of mechanical drawing could draw it, but what Wen Chen was looking forward to the most was that he drew the second drawing.
I saw that the small and fine parts were carefully outlined with wolf hair, and those who are familiar with firearms can see at a glance that these parts are actually a one-to-one restoration of the structure of the revolver!
These are Wen Chen's old business, this thing is easy to carry, full of deterrence, a Seiko Colt python is simply every gun lover's dream gun.
The reason why he had the idea of making a revolver was that he got a slingshot given by Tu Sanqian when he was in Wucheng before, that is, "shooting", this thing is very powerful, and it is similar to firearms, but "shooting" is still a small fight after all, and it requires a certain level of proficiency in use at the same time, which is far less easy to use than firearms.
After sorting out the drawings, Wen Chen stepped out of the study by moonlight, and saw that the master seemed to be asleep, slowing down slightly, but he didn't want to hear a slight sigh when he passed by Mo Buyu's side.
"There are three pills in the drawer on the left hand side of your desk, two yellow and one red."
"Tonics?" Wen Chen was puzzled.
Mo Buyu didn't take a stubble, but said to himself, "The yellow pill is for Your Majesty and the county lord to eat, it's red...... On the contrary, you can do it yourself. ”
"On the twenty-eighth day of the statute of limitations, Old Man Fang Zi has also left it to you, don't go wrong in these aspects in the future."
Wen Chen blinked suspiciously, and after a while, he suddenly understood, to say that the only thing that the little emperor and the little black bean have in common is that they must not have children in a short period of time, so the yellow pill must be an emergency avoidance!
People like myself who resolutely implement the policy of severely punishing and not "wearing" every time they have sex with each other is simply a panacea!
Isn't that the red pill just ......
"It's still Master's thoughtfulness...... Wen Chen said flatteringly.
"Dare to ask Master, can the red pill control the gender of the next generation? The apprentice likes the girl......"
Mo Buyu glared at him, "Think beautifully, hurry up!" ”
