Take the mall to Datang

"If Lan Lan gains weight, I'll just rely on the young master." Lan Lan said not to be outdone.

Su Peishan was so shocked that it was hard to believe that such words were spoken by a girl. She thought that this girl named Lan Lan had some unclear relationship with his young master, but how could the mistress be so aboveboard when the mistress was present.

"Ruolan, what are you talking about? Do you know each other?" Yuan Shan asked.

Dugu Ruolan didn't answer Yuan Shan, but suddenly asked: "I don't know Miss Su's name, so I can tell you."

When Dugu Ruolan was talking, she also inadvertently gave Yuan Shan a supercilious look and said, "Isn't that what you want to know? Sure enough, men are like this when they see young and beautiful women, they will miss them.

"Little girl Su Peishan." Su Peishan said frankly.

Knowing that Dugu Rulan is Yuan Shan's wife, Su Peishan also wants to make some connections. She has learned to do business with Su Zhennan since she was a child. She understands these people's customs very well, especially in Chang'an Yuanshan is still very famous, she thought. It's not a bad thing to get to know each other. The more businessmen are stronger, the more people there will be. There will be more opportunities for cooperation in the future.

"Sister-in-law." Li Zhi came over and said.

Li Chengqian also came over to say hello to them. These princes and princesses are still very polite, but they just call Yuan Shan by his first name, but they dare not call Yuan Shan's wife, especially Li Ke, since he came to Yuan's house. Only after returning to the palace did he learn from his mother Concubine Yang (the daughter of Emperor Sui Yang) that the Dugu family had some connection with him.

Although Li Ke is not very old, he also knows that he has the blood of the Dugu family. Although Dugu Ruolan is a branch of the Dugu family, it has a long history.

Concubine Yang made Li Ke pay attention to the relationship with Dugu's family because the Dugu family's lineage has gone into decline, but the blood is multiplied. Most of the things I do are done according to my mother's instructions.

Li Ke was very respectful in front of Dugu Rulan. No matter how you count him, the prince is also a great nephew. It was originally unacceptable. After all, Dugu Ruolan was born in a collateral line of the Dugu family. Don't let Li Ke insist on admitting this collateral cousin.

A group of princes came over, and Su Peishan, a woman from a businessman's family, immediately stepped aside with great interest, knowing that it was not the time to talk, and seeing that these princes were so close to the Yuan family, she suddenly understood why Yuan Jing'ai was able to stay here. Chang'an has developed so well, and a discerning person can understand at a glance that it will be a lot of convenience in doing business if he has a good relationship with the children of the royal family. This is the key to his development.

Suddenly, she became interested in the background of the Yuan family, but she didn't feel very good about Yuan Shan. Seeing him staring at her like that just now was the behavior of a disciple, so she had to Thinking this way, I decided to be careful with this person in the future.

"Yuanshan, didn't you say you were going to take Lizhi on a boat? Why are there so many people on board?" Lizhi asked, seeming a little angry.

When Yuan Shan saw that it was indeed the princess's life, even the most gentle and virtuous among the princesses didn't mean she had no temper, so he immediately said, "Of course we have to take a boat for fun, and I'll ask someone to prepare for the boat."

Then Yuanshan asked Yanbei to tell everyone to stop visiting Yuanshan was going to take a group of royal children out for a walk on the water. The medium-sized boat was not big enough to accommodate too many people, so only the royal children and a group of generals were left. There were less than 20 people on board.

The merchants also knew the severity and knew that they would withdraw voluntarily at this time, so they didn't have any complaints, but Yuanshan felt that it was a pity that such a good opportunity to attract sponsorship was missed.

Sometimes he also thinks that these princes are really in the way, there are preferential treatment everywhere, you can’t ignore them, what’s the deal with you, what’s the deal with you? Watching the excitement at the door, I said that this group of big guys should not be curious and dismantle the steam engine for me.

Chapter 434 Fish Hook

The steam engine made a rumbling sound, and the huge flywheel passed through a set of speed change gears to drive the propeller at the stern to start turning.

The preheated steam boiler moved quickly without waiting too long, and the hull suddenly shook slightly when it first started moving.

"Everyone hold on steady, don't worry if there is a slight shake when the steam engine starts." Yuan Shan said loudly.

Cheng Zhijie, Qin Qiong and other generals didn't care at all that they were still looking inside the steam room, as if they wanted to see how this piece of iron made the ship move.

Still at the helm is Li Deju, who uses specific taps on the microphone instead of sound transmission. It is quite noisy outside in broad daylight, especially when there are so many people, this method of sound transmission is more accurate.

"What is this?" Cheng Zhijie asked Li Dejian after seeing the microphone.

"This is the microphone. The people in the steam room who speak from the sound hole here will hear it. But when the steam engine is not so loud, after the ship starts, you can tap the microphone to transmit the voice to the people in the steam room and then People in the steam room can operate the steam engine, thus changing the speed of the ship," Li Dejian said.

"This is a thing that can transmit human voices. Hey, my old Cheng is going to try it out." After Cheng Zhijie finished speaking, he called Yuchi Jingde and told him about the microphone. Then I started playing, and after a few times, the two of them changed positions. The back and forth was exhausting for both of them.

"Cheng Zhijie, you're not finished yet, I won't mess around with you anymore." Yuchi Jingde said.

"Don't let me try again." Cheng Zhijie said flatteringly.

"It's already confirmed that it can transmit sound, what are you sure about?" Yuchi Baolin said out of breath and ignored Cheng Zhijie.

Qin Qiong looked at it from the sidelines and couldn't tell. These two people were really serious. They tossed back and forth more than a dozen times to determine whether a copper pipe could transmit sound, but Qin Qiong believed it after hearing Yuchi Jingde's affirmation. Through this tube, information can be transmitted to the steam room, and I am also very curious about this thing.

"Wow, the wind is so comfortable." Lizhi said.

"Princess Lizhi should put on an extra dress. The temperature on the boat is lower than that on the shore, especially the wind is very strong on the boat." Yuan Shan said, the maids around Lizhi immediately got busy, although Princess Lizhi was very busy. Reluctant, but if they let Princess Lizhi suffer from the wind and cold, it will not end well.

The women on the boat stood at the bow of the boat, and Yuan Shan was almost choked to death by the scent of their perfume as the fragrant wind blew by. He said that this person can bear the perfume, but when there are a large group of people around you wearing perfume, it will be so. The smell is almost gone.

Especially the prince and the others were wearing sachets. The smell was completely mixed, but Yuan Shan was very curious about how there was a familiar smell on Li Chengqian's body, and suddenly knew it was the smell of tobacco.

"Your Highness, your sachet has a very special smell. I don't know where you bought it from," Yuan Shan asked suddenly.

Li Chengqian didn't expect that someone would ask this, so he said: "This sachet was given by Feng Zhidai, who said it was brought from the south. I thought it tasted good, so I took it with me. Why do you like this? I will send someone to ask Feng Zhidai tomorrow." Zhidai will get some spices from his hometown."

"The prince may have misunderstood. I'm just curious and don't want to wear this scented sachet. If His Royal Highness can soak the spices inside with wine, it will have the effect of repelling mosquitoes in summer." Yuan Shan said.

"Oh? It still has such an effect. It seems that Yuan Shan knows this spice very well." Li Chengqian said.

"That's right. Not long ago, I asked Feng Zhidai to specially transport this Nanling grass from the south to study, and found that after the spice is dried, adding it to wine will have the effect of repelling mosquitoes." Yuan Shan said.

"It turns out that this thing is called Nan Lingcao. I didn't listen to Feng Zhidai's good introduction last time. He didn't know how to add wine to soak the spices he brought from the south. Yuan Shan, did you buy a lot of these spices? It won't work if you want to do something." Li Chengqian said curiously.

Yuan Shan said helplessly what was going on with Li Chengqian, how did he feel like he was a roundworm in his stomach at this moment, his face was still very calm, and then he replied: "It's nothing, just that the medical school has developed some drugs to deal with mosquitoes, rats and ants. It's just medicine."

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up and he understood why Yuan Shan wanted to buy these spices. He was about to say something when he heard a group of women shouting from the bow: "Look, there are fish on the water."

This kind of thing is very common, why don't you be so excited? Yuan Shan walked over curiously and saw that there were indeed fish in the river, and there were quite a lot of them. He suddenly said, "Princess Lizhi, do you want to go fishing on the boat?"

"Fishing?" Princess Li Zhi asked suspiciously.

She didn't understand this, but she replied out of curiosity: "Okay, Yuan Shan, go fishing."

Yuan Shan walked down from the deck to the cabin, and when he came out again, he already had several suspenders in his hands. The style was very novel and different from the bamboo poles used by the people of Tang Dynasty. Li Chengqian asked with bright eyes: "Where is Yuan Shan?" Why is the fishing rod so short?"

"How do you fish with such a short fishing rod?" Li Tai said from the side. In fact, Li Ke thought so too, but he didn't say it. Not interested in him at all.

Yuan Shan shook his head. The group of little kids began to scold others without asking clearly, and they all said that their attitude towards things could improve. Yuan Shan said calmly, "This is called a telescopic fishing rod. Look at it. "

As he said that, he opened the fishing rod, which is much longer than the small bamboo rod, and everyone's eyes lit up. Yuchi Jingde came over at this time and said: "This fishing rod is really convenient. It can be shortened and extended. Can you give someone a try? .”

"Okay, isn't it just for fishing?" Yuan Shan said, distributing the fishing rods to those who wanted to fish. Unexpectedly, a group of women were scrambling to grab the fishing rods, and the princes dismissed these things. Li Chengqian.

He found it novel and was very interested in Yuanshan’s frequent creation of these things. Yuanshan also stretched out the fishing rod and put it on, and placed some complicated auxiliary equipment on the hook, such as fish floats. , After putting the fish food on, throw the hook into the water.

At this time, Li Dejian had already asked Li Deju to stop the steam engine, and the boat just stopped on the water. Yuchi Jingde was the first to catch a fish. up.

Yuan Shan felt admirable when he looked at his fishing line. There was no float on his fishing line. Everything was based on his eyes and senses. It was a big fish as long as three palms, and everyone cheered when they saw it.

Yuchi Jingde said proudly: "Hahaha, I haven't fished for a long time, but I didn't expect this trick to be used."

Yuan Shan didn't even notice that Yuchi Jingde's eyes were shining when he spoke, because Yuchi Jingde carefully checked the fishhook. In Datang, there is no such fine fishhook at all. How can a fine fishhook not be moved.

Chapter 435 Grilled Fish

"Hooked." Yuan Shan immediately became excited when he saw the float floating, feeling the pulling force of the fishing rod, thinking that there must be a big fish taking the bait.

Everyone also looked at Yuan Shan one after another, and Dugu Ruolan immediately looked forward to it and said, "Come on, husband."
