Chapter 26 Why are sickles and hammers printed on your cup?
Just to the southwest of the farmland, large courtyards are scattered across the plain, forming a small village.
Ying Zheng was surprised to find that there was a smooth and wide road on the way from the village to the farmland!
The carriage rides on it as steady as a mountain without any bumps.
Ying Zheng stamped his feet hard, the ground was very hard.
Then he drew out his sword and stabbed it on the ground, only to find that there was only a white mark on the ground!
Ying Zheng frowned and asked:
"Why is this road different from Xianyang? How did you make it?"
[It’s over! The cement factory just started producing cement and was discovered by the First Emperor!
Don’t take it away from me! I haven’t connected the entire Shanglinyuan road yet!]
Qin Feng pondered for a long time and said slowly:
“If you want to be rich, build roads first, have more children and plant more trees.
Wei Chen passed by Mount Tai, do you still remember it?"
Ying Zheng glared and cursed:
"Get out! If you talk nonsense again, be careful I'll slap you!"
Qin Feng sighed and explained honestly:
"Back to your Majesty, this thing is cement.
It means grinding limestone and clay into flour, and then calcining the clinker.
Cement is made by grinding clinker and slag left over from ironmaking."
Ying Zheng nodded and continued to ask:
"How hard is this material? In addition to paving roads, is there any other use?"
"The hardness is comparable to gold and stone. In addition to paving roads, it can also repair houses and build city walls."
Ying Zheng remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
[No way? Is it possible that the First Emperor wanted to use cement to build a straight Qin Road extending in all directions to connect the world? 】
[This seems to sound good. There is no need to spend huge manpower and material resources. Maybe the life span of Da Qin can be extended? 】
Ying Zheng couldn't help but be stunned, feeling very complicated inside.
Qin Feng's words always revealed that the Qin Dynasty would overthrow soon after its unification.
But why exactly?
One million Qin soldiers are in charge of the world, and eight million Qinchuan disciples protect Guanzhong. They should not be destroyed quickly no matter what.
Ying Zheng shook his head, it's still early for these things, let's wait and see.
When he arrived at the courtyard, Ying Zheng's brows became even tighter.
He pointed to the crystal clear crystal on the window and looked at Qin Feng.
Qin Feng smiled bitterly and replied:
"This is glass. The production process is not perfect yet, and there are still many impurities. Just the few pieces on the window were not sent to you."
【It’s over! The glass can’t be saved either! 】
Ying Zheng snorted softly, walked into the room, and found two fine tiger skins spread on the soft floor, with smoke curling up and a faint aroma constantly coming from the room.
Qin Feng was numb and quickly replied:
"It's incense. The current production is limited and the smell is not good, so I didn't send it to you."
【It’s over! I can’t keep the incense!】
Ying Zheng sat on the upper body without hesitation, and found that his whole body fell into it, feeling comfortable all over.
The sunlight next to you passes through the glass and falls on your body, making you sleepy with its warmth.
Ying Zheng couldn't help but yawned, leaned on the soft body, and said with half-squinted eyes:
"What's on the table?"
"Go back to your Majesty, this is porcelain."
Ying Zheng glared at Qin Feng and said dissatisfied:
"Do you know that it is porcelain? But your porcelain is too white! And it is also used to hold water? Luxury!
And it also has a hammer and sickle printed on it, saying "Serve the People?"
Qin Feng handed the enamel jar on the coffee table to Ying Zheng and said:
"Your Majesty, this is not water, it is hot milk with honey added. Please try it.
Wei Chen drinks a lot of water, so he uses this enamel jar every time, and it tastes refreshing."
Ying Zheng took the cup, took a sip, and said coldly:
"Nothing more than that!"
Then he drank it all in one go "Gulu" "Gulu".
He picked up a small piece of honey cake and put it into his mouth. He took a sip and it melted.
The sweet smell ripples in the mouth, and the soft touch makes people want to have another piece.
[Save some for me, brother...]
Qin Feng swallowed and introduced him all the way. His mouth was dry and he had nothing to moisten his throat.
After finally returning to my home, a dove occupied the magpie's nest.
The key is that if you can't afford it, it's very sad.
It was already lunch time, and the hungry Li Si and Zhao Gao saw how Ying Zheng was enjoying themselves, and their stomachs growled unsatisfactorily.
Ying Zheng ate three pieces of honey cake in one go, and then said slowly:
"Qin Feng, I asked you to farm the land, so you'd better enjoy it here than I do!"
Qin Feng said with a righteous face:
"Your Majesty, I am not enjoying myself, I am remembering the sweet things and the bitter things!
Always remind yourself that only by working hard at farming can you live such a good life!"
Ying Zheng snorted coldly:
"If there are any good things left, give them to me!"
Qin Feng had a bitter face and said helplessly:
"Your Majesty, what good things can be found in this wilderness? Why don't we go back to Xianyang..."
Ying Zheng slammed the table and cursed:
"Originally, I thought it was difficult for you to work, so I just took more corn, but it turned out that you were lucky! You actually saved so much meat! You still wanted to hide it from me!
Quickly take out your braised pork and let me have a taste!"
Qin Feng suddenly wilted and reluctantly got into the kitchen and started cooking.
[It’s over! That bastard Tie Zhu spilled the beans! From now on, every meal will lose a piece of braised pork!]
[Well, since the First Emperor wants to eat so much, then I have to cook it well. If I don’t feel happy after eating, what should I do if I get whipped again? 】
[What’s even scarier is, what if he becomes addicted to eating and eats it every day?]
Qin Feng said hello, took Xiao Yuan and Xiao Huan, and started to work.
This courtyard house is located in the center of the countryside on a higher ground. Through the windows, you can see the wide farmland outside.
About half an hour later, Fusu ran in panting.
He shrugged his nose and shouted excitedly:
"Master! More spicy food! More garlic!"
"I know! Go and rush! You can smell the stink from so far away!"
Fusu responded and ran to the next room to take a shower.
Ying Zheng looked at the energetic Fu Su and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
After a while, a strong aroma hit my face.
Ying Zheng, who had just eaten snacks and drank honey and milk, was fine, but Li Si and Zhao Gao both had awkward stomach rumblings.
"Let's eat!"
Qin Feng was holding a bowl of noodles, which was as big as a human face!
It is filled with strong hand-made noodles, each noodle is wrapped in rich soup, green onions are sprinkled on top, and a spoonful of dogwood stir-fried in hot oil is poured on top.
Suddenly, the spicy and delicious smell hits your nostrils! It makes people salivate and swallow saliva!
Fusu took a bowl of noodles from Xiaoyuan's hand and took a big bite.
Then chop open a clove of garlic, throw it into your mouth and chew it carefully.
Suddenly his face was full of enjoyment!
“So beautiful!”
(Popular science: In ancient times, when there was no chili pepper, dogwood was used instead. The "Compendium of Materia Medica" called it "spicy".)
