Surprise?

With doubts in his eyes, Ma Qingshan swept the family of three around him, and then looked at Wen Chen, who was smiling naturally.

"What surprise do you want to give to this officer?"

Tan Gang on the side snorted coldly, "Wen Chen, it's none of your business here, we will settle the grievances between you and Tan Mansion in the future!" ”

Hmph, even if you still have a little conscience, you didn't take the opportunity to drag the master into the water!

Wen Chen chuckled, glanced at Tan Gang, and said, "Shopkeeper Tan, it's over, didn't you say it's okay?" In the next appearance, there is no need to play it again. ”

As soon as he heard this, not only Ma Qingshan's face was inexplicable, but the rest of the people in the room were also confused.

Which one is this kid singing?

I saw Wen Chen come to Ma Qingshan unhurriedly, took the drawings in the hands of Lord Taishou, and nodded with a smile.

"Didn't Lord Taishou want to know who gave the drawings of the hydraulic loom to Young Master Tan?"

Ma Qingshan's eyelids jumped, and he asked, "Does Shopkeeper Wen recognize this person?" ”

I don't want Wen Chen to raise his hand and point to his nose, "It's down!" ”

What?

It's you kid?!

Tan curled his body and trembled, with anxiety in his eyes, Wen Chen, what's going on, let him find a way to save my Tan family, how did he put himself in?

"Shopkeeper Wen, don't laugh, you can't resist such crimes!" Ma Qingshan said solemnly.

"Don't worry, Lord Taishou." Wen Chen's face did not show any panic at all, but was very relaxed.

"Didn't you just say that? Today's play with Shopkeeper Tan is a surprise for adults! ”

"Surprise? The scare is pretty much the same! Ma Qingshan didn't have a good breath, "Don't sell Guanzi, what's going on?!" ”

Wen Chen glanced at Tan Gang, who was about to ask, and motioned for him not to speak.

Then he picked up a chopstick from the table, dipped it in some soy sauce soup, and drew it on the drawing.

"Master Ma knows that the hydraulic loom used by the Li family now will not be able to operate once it enters the winter and cannot be operated without hydraulic power?"

"Nonsense, of course the official knows!"

Wen Chen hooked the corners of his mouth and completed the drawings on the paper with a few simple strokes, "Then if you invent a machine that is not affected by the environment all year round, but is as efficient as a water-powered loom, what do you think?" ”

Well?

Ma Qingshan was stunned when he heard this, "What does Shopkeeper Wen mean by this?" ”

"It means that today's banquet with the shopkeeper Tan is to give advice, and a new machine has been developed in the next, in order to surprise the adults, so I acted in the play just now, but unfortunately, I went to the thatched house just now, so the scene became a little uncontrollable......"

"Then this drawing ......"

"It's a prop handed over to Tan Gongzi!"

Wen Chen looked calm, and unfolded the pattern he had drawn just now in front of Ma Qingshan, "My lord, please look, this thing is called a steam loom!" ”

"All you need to do is add firewood to the boiler, boil the water in the cylinder, and then adjust the valve to let the steam flow through the pipes, which can replace the water power and provide a continuous supply of power for the textile machine!"

Ma Qingshan's eyes lit up instantly when he heard the explanation, "Is this true?" ”

"It's true!" Wen Chen nodded heavily, "The inspiration for the production of the steam loom comes from the inspiration when boiling tea and boiling water a few days ago. ”

Although Ma Qingshan still couldn't understand the principle of the drawings, as soon as he heard the word "boiling water", some details that he had not paid attention to on weekdays involuntarily appeared in his mind.

"It seems to make some sense......

"If you are still not at ease, you can take this picture back and discuss it with Lord Jin Dongjin, and you can know that you are not talking big!" Wen Chen bowed.

"Good! That's what this official means! Ma Qingshan waved his hand and put the drawings into his arms.

He looked at the silent Tan family with some suspicion, "It's just a suggestion, don't make it so chicken next time!" ”

Wen Chen smiled, "Surprise surprise, as the name suggests, must surprise the adults first and then delight!" ”

"If you don't like it, you must change the way next time!"

Ma Qingshan bowed slightly, smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "You come out with this official, this official has something to explain to you." ”

Wen Chen responded, and made an OK gesture towards Tan Yuan with the hand behind his back.

Damn, I'm tired dad!

If it weren't for your face, I wouldn't have bothered to clean up this mess!

In the courtyard, Ma Qingshan pulled Wen Chen to the corner, suddenly withdrew the smile on his face, stared at him and asked:

"Why are you helping these people out of the siege? This official remembers that Ruyi said that you and the mother and son of the Tan family were torn apart! ”

Wen Chen sighed secretly, his little Jiujiu really couldn't hide it from Ma Qingshan, an old fox.

The old fox had seen his thoughts early on, but he had not attacked on the spot because of the temptation of the steam loom.

"My lord is angry, the second lady of the Tan family is kind to me, and at a critical juncture, I have to help ......" Wen Chen said honestly.

"Hmmm......"

Ma Qingshan's eyes flickered, and he took a deep breath, "This time, for the sake of your face, the official will temporarily let go of Ma Feifei's idiot, but you have to ask the official for him, where did he get the drawings, otherwise the official won't be able to sleep at night!" ”

"Don't worry, even if you don't say it, you will do it for you, but there is still something you need to remind you."

"Say."

"The water-powered loom and the steam loom belong to two epoch-making industrial products, if you want to present them to the Holy One, it is best to have a gap of one and a half years, so that not only does it not seem abrupt, but also allows the adult to receive two credits!"

A meaningful smile appeared on Ma Qingshan's face, "Your kid is really a smart person, which is very much in line with the official's wishes!" ”

"In the future, you just have to assist Ruyi, and when this official is on the rise, your benefits will be indispensable!"

Wen Chen's suggestion is also Ma Qingshan's idea, the previous hydraulic loom was enough to show his face once, and this time Wen Chen brought a surprise, and gave him an extra hole card to climb up, naturally it is impossible to take it out at one time!

"Thank you, sir!"

Wen Chen looked respectful and looked very grateful.

In fact, when he told Ma Qingshan, he was completely thinking about himself.

The structural diagram he had just drawn and the part of the operating principle of the steam engine that Ma Qingshan had just been told could theoretically be faulted with.

It's just that if you want to really make it, there is still an important material missing - rubber!

The steam textile machine not only needs a track made of rubber to drive the machine, but also needs to use it to ensure the airtightness of the cylinder, otherwise it is easy to be dangerous.

After another year and a half, it will be enough to collect the raw materials needed to make rubber.

To put it bluntly, even if Wen Chen handed over the drawings to Ma Qingshan, the core technology of the steam textile machine was still in his own hands!

Ma Qingshan was obviously still not very comfortable, so he didn't go back to say hello to his old friend Tan Gang, so he threw off his sleeve robe and left.

Wen Chenchang breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to return to the dining hall to ask about the origin of the drawings, but suddenly heard an exclamation from behind him.

"Big brother don't!"
