The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 819

[Chapter 819 The Power of Steam]

Only then did Pearl remember that she was still heating hot water!

She hurriedly got up and ran to the kitchen, but the scene in front of her made her freeze on the spot.

The lid of the pot had already been pushed open by the steaming heat.

The hot water was still boiling, making a gurgling sound.

She was startled for a moment and then put out the fire with water.

It was a very ordinary scene that happened countless times in a day, but a thought appeared in Pearl’s mind.

Since the hot water can lift the lid of the pot, isn’t it just like a human hand? It is also a force!

Although she didn’t understand what was going on, she knew that this was what Mr. Fang said, you can use water.

If the principle behind this could be understood, wouldn’t the textile machines no longer require manpower from now on?

All you need to do is boil hot water!

Thinking like this, she was already a little excited and started thinking about how to study this thing.

Of course, her first reaction was to find her own lady.

“Miss, miss, this slave has discovered something interesting!”

She did not dare to say that she had deciphered the meaning of what Mr. Fang said.

Just saying that I discovered something interesting.

Lin Wanqing was busy with the sound of the village. She looked at Zhu’er and said, “What is it?”

Zhu’er said, “When the slave is boiling water.”

Before she could finish her words, Lin Wanqing interrupted: “These are the petty matters of parents.” , Let’s talk about it later, Buzhuang’s business is busy, Mr. Fang has invested five thousand taels of silver in Buzhuang, and he can’t lose money no matter what.

If you have nothing to do at home, you can come to Buzhuang to help.”

Pearl heard. I didn’t know what to say for a moment, so I responded and walked away frustrated.

He also helped the boys in the shop sort out the cloth.

However, the scene of the steam lifting the lid of the pot kept reappearing in her mind, and she couldn’t get rid of it no matter what.

After working all afternoon, she finally found some time to rest, but she still kept thinking about what happened before.

After struggling for a long time, she finally came to Lin Wanqing’s side and said, “Miss, I have something very important to tell you.” When

Lin Wanqing heard this, she was startled, looked at Zhu’er, and asked, “What? A very important thing?”

Zhu’er said, “It’s what Mr. Fang said before, the power of water. I understand, the power of water is the power of water vapor when it boils.”

Lin Wanqing smiled slightly when she heard this. Startled.

She has been living in Yirenju in Kyoto Prefecture since she was born. Not to mention working in the fields, she has never left Yirenju several times.

Naturally, I don’t know about water-powered windmills. I heard that the water will generate power when it boils.

She also didn’t understand what it meant at all, so she asked: “Boiling water does have power, but what does it have to do with our textile machines?”

Lin Wanqing was very confused.

Zhuer didn’t understand either, but she still said: “Since boiling water has power, it is possible to retain this power and connect it to the textile machine. From now on, there will be no need to hire manpower.”

After saying this, Lin Wanqing was stunned for a moment I can’t find anything wrong with it.

So, he waved his hands and said, “I heard that Mr. Fang has an engineering academy there, which specializes in studying these craftsmanships. I think what you said makes some sense. If you don’t understand, maybe you can ask them. “

When Zhu’er heard this, she thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she said, “Miss, can I go to the Engineering Academy and ask?”

Lin Wanqing waved her hand and said, “Go ahead and ask. Don’t worry about Buzhuang, I’m here. Just hire someone.”

“Okay, thank you, miss!”

Zhuer smiled when she heard this and left the cloth shop.

The next day, it was still early morning at dawn.

Zhu Er took a kettle and arrived at the entrance of the Engineering College.

Knocking on the door

went unanswered.

Another knock on the door.

Only then did someone come.

The door opened slowly.

A man dressed as a servant stood behind the door and said casually: “The engineering academy has been filled up. You can go to the construction academy next door and have a look.”

When Pearl heard this, she immediately understood what was going on and smiled. He smiled and said, “I’m not here to study. There’s something I don’t understand. I want to ask the gentleman from your Engineering College.”

The man heard a woman’s voice and glanced at Zhu’er subconsciously. She seemed to have thought of something because of her clothes, and she said, “Are you a maid from Wuxiu Buzhuang?”

When Pearl heard this, she was slightly startled, and asked subconsciously: “You also know Wuxiu Buzhuang?

” The servant smiled and said: “Everything that happened in the south of the city that day has spread. Who doesn’t know now that Wuxiu Cloth Shop is a newly opened shop of Xin’an Hou.

Moreover, even if there is no Xin’an Hou, you Wuxiu Cloth Shop will have nothing to do with it.” The cloth only costs a penny and can maintain such high quality, so it is famous in Kyoto Prefecture!”

At this point, he paused and said with a smile: “I wonder why the girl came to our Engineering Academy?”

Zhuer did not expect Wuxiu Buzhuang to be so famous, and she couldn’t help but feel a little proud.

After feeling proud, he also smiled and replied: “I want to ask the gentleman from your academy what happens after the water boils.”

“What happens after the water boils?”

When the boy heard this, he was startled and completely He didn’t understand what this person was talking about, but he still smiled and said: “Gentlemen are in class, but class will end soon. If you don’t mind, come in and find a place to sit and wait for a while.

” Here, something seemed to come to mind, and after a pause, he continued: “By the way, it seems that Xin’an Hou is going to build a road recently. The gentlemen in the academy are very busy with the road construction, and they may not necessarily have time to spare. “Empty.”

Zhu’er felt a little disappointed when she heard this, but still said: “It’s okay. If gentlemen are really busy, I will do the same thing again in the future.”

After hearing this, the boy smiled and said, “That’s good. Come in.”

“Okay.”

Pearl nodded.

The boy was just about to ask Pearl if she wanted some tea, when he suddenly saw the kettle in her arms and was stunned again.

What does it mean?

How come you bring your own kettle when you come to ask questions?

He thought for a while, but still didn’t ask. He just said, “Gentlemen, class will be over in a moment. You can wait here for a while.”

“Okay.” Pearl nodded again.

I started to look at everything in this engineering college.

She had to say that this Engineering Academy was much better than she had imagined.

At first, she thought that this engineering school taught carpenters, stonemasons, and blacksmiths how to do their jobs, so it must be messy and noisy.

But after sitting here for a while, I found that the academy was not only clean, but also quiet.

You can even often hear the sound of reading. The Engineering College is no different from the Arts and Sciences College.

With this thought, a gong sound suddenly sounded in the academy.

Class is over
