Chapter 78: Waterwheel and steamed buns

Situ finished the reading calmly, shook his head and smiled: "Guardian Teng's master is really good. Now that the furnace is repaired, construction can start in early summer, and the construction period will be in time. What do you think, Guanshi Xie?"

"I don't understand ironmaking, but is this bellows pulled by manpower?" Xuanji asked.

"Uh, yes." Guan Shi reluctantly suppressed his contempt, and the bellows didn't need to be pulled, so what kind of pull? Livestock? How can the animals know how to push and pull back and forth!

Xuanji took out the homemade charcoal from her sleeve, took a piece of white paper, and drew while talking: "Teng Guanshi's ironmaking workshop is next to the Lanjiang River. You can use hydraulic power to pull the wind box and make waterwheels next to the water veins of the river." Xuanji grass drew the general structure of the waterwheel to explain the working principle, and then continued: "The flow of the river drives the waterwheel, and the waterwheel drives the gears. With this movable rod, you can push and pull the bellows day and night, and it can also be used to fry steel. In addition, by connecting pipes next to the waterwheel, you can transport water to nearby places. This thing is not difficult to make. In addition to being used as a bellows, it can also be used for weaving, grinding, pounding, etc."

Xuanji’s sketches were rough, but Situ Xian and Guan Teng were both savvy people, and soon understood what Xuanji meant. They were impressed by such a fantastic idea. Guan Shi had contempt for Xuanji before sweeping away and left the seat. Respectfully said: "Thank you, the steward, for your guidance. Today, Mr. Teng understands what is meant by heaven, there are people outside the world!"

Seeing him being so polite, Xuanji was embarrassed: "I'm just talking about it, whether it can be done, and how effective it is."

Manager Teng laughed and said: "If you can do what you can do, there is a wonderful way to thank the manager. If you don't do it well, the manager Teng has no face anymore!"

Another manager named Lu who had been silent all the time suddenly said: "I can't think that Jiangshui also has this magical effect. Xie Guanshi let me wait and open my eyes. I'll go back and try!" After saying goodbye, I grabbed the sketch on the table and left. .

Guanshi Teng stared and said, "If you have the surname Lu, don't forget me when you make it!"

Guanshi Lu dropped the sentence "I got it!" The man had already reached the springboard.

Xuanji looked at this super activist in amazement, and heard Situ smile in her ears: "Guan Shi still likes to make machinery and equipment as he did in the past."

Mr. Lu ran away, Zhao Jianshen was not surprised, and continued to discuss other future issues of Yunchuan Iron Mine. Xuanji was really too sleepy, head bit by bit, and finally fell asleep on the table without knowing it.

Zhao Jianshen only smiled when he saw it. Situ cleared his throat first and interrupted: "Should I send Mr. Xie back to rest first?"

Zhao Jianshen nodded and said, "Alright, I opened the lock all night, no wonder I am not energetic now."

unlock? Drove it all night? Thank you, what kind of hobby is this? Situ first looked at each other with Guan Teng.

Zhao Jianshen stretched out his hand at Xuanji's sleeping acupuncture point, and of course he hugged her horizontally, and left the sentence "I'll come back later, you wait!" and went out.

Manager Teng asked, "What's the matter between Master Xie and Guan Xie?" A beautiful woman who doesn't want to be petted in the room but wants her to be in charge, but then again, this woman has such a talent, and she is only in the room. waste.

Situ Xian said innocently: "I don't know what Zhao Zheng said, Guanshi Xie is likely to become Shen's mistress in the future."

"Ah?!" Manager Teng was taken aback, and he secretly rejoiced that he didn't say anything inferior to offend the future mistress.

When I woke up, Xuanji found that she had changed into a light and soft pajamas, lying on the bed in her room, as if she remembered that she should be discussing things with the stewards in the hall. This kind of being moved around in her sleep happened many times. Xuanji was too lazy to care about it.

Both Situ Xian and Guan Shi had disembarked, and the boat left the pier at no time when it was driving on the river. Thinking of having to see Situ for a long time, Xuan Ji felt a little more relaxed, but the weather was too cold for her now, which caused her to lose interest in going out to see the river view. I heard that Lan Xi was going to go. Preparing lunch for her, it suddenly occurred to me that besides the room, the warmest place should be the kitchen now!

So he smiled and said, "Lan Xi, take me to the kitchen. I think there is something delicious."

Lan Xi was taken aback: "Thank you, Mr. Shi, if you want to eat in places like the kitchen, the maidservant can ask someone to do it."

"I just didn't expect what to eat. Let's go." Xuan Ji put on a plain cotton coat and dragged Lan Xi away.

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

The kitchen was smoky, Xuanji's clothes were ordinary, and the tall scarf covered most of her small face. People in the kitchen saw her following Lan Xi and thought she was a maid or something, and didn't care.

Xuan Ji pulled Lan Xi's sleeves, and Lan Xi reluctantly said to Aunt Liu, the steward of the kitchen, "What can I eat in the kitchen?"

Aunt Liu glanced at Lan Xi and said, "Is it because Mr. Xie got up?" There are not many nobles on the boat. Who has used food and what has been used, Liu Auntie remembers clearly in her heart.

Xuanji hurriedly replied: "I am hungry. Sister Lan Xi said to bring me to find something to eat."

Aunt Liu listened to the steamer who pointed her finger to the side and said: "There are some freshly steamed steamed buns. I plan to send them to the shift boatman later. You can take two and eat them."

Lan Xi was about to speak out against it, but Xuanji had already replied first: "Thank you auntie!" When I entered, I smelled the aroma of steamed buns.

Xuanji coveted the big fat buns in the steamer, reached out and grabbed one to eat. After eating a few bites, she raised her head to meet Lan Xi's thoughtful eyes, remembering the problem of the smart Yixiu who watched the animation. So he smiled and said, "I have a question to test you! Do you know what the freshly baked steamed bread can cure?"

Lan Xi was stunned: "Can steamed buns cure illnesses? Why have you never heard of them?"

Xuanji laughed and said: "It can cure hunger. Hungry is not a small disease. When you are hungry, you will feel weak and dizzy. You will die if you are hungry for two or three days."

What is this strange story? !

Aunt Liu was working not far away, and she laughed when she heard Xuanji’s words: "The little girl knows the goods, and the steamed buns can be used to satisfy the hunger. Don’t look at the ordinary appearance of the steamed buns, but my family’s mouth has spent a lot of time and money. I haven't eaten such a good steamed bun. Although it is on the table of a noble person, the workers rely on it to work hard!"

Seeing that someone agreed, Xuanji gave Lan Xi a triumphant glance, then turned to flatter Liu and said, "No wonder this bun is so delicious!"

"Eat more if you like it!" Aunt Liu was busy doing things without looking up.

"Thank you auntie! It's a pity that I have a small appetite, and the big steamed bun is full after eating it."

"Yes, you know that a little girl like you doesn't eat too much!" Aunt Liu thought to herself, this girl has a sweet mouth, and I don't know which room it is.

Xuanji smiled and lowered her head to continue fighting with Bun. Lan Xi found a bowl of tea and handed it to her. Xuan Ji felt her mouth dry, so she took half a bowl and smiled and thanked Lan Xi habitually, then bowed her head to continue eating.

School has started, and there is a lot of silence here. This is a transitional period. I miss Monk Yixiu by the way.
