Food for the people

Qiao Yu didn't wake up until noon. When she woke up, she was sleeping on her own bed. She took off her outer robe and was only wearing a thin layer of inner clothing. She was covered with a quilt. She could tell at a glance that she was Whose masterpiece.

Qiao Yu looked around in embarrassment, but found that Lu Jincheng was not there.

He slept soundly, and he didn't even have the slightest impression of when he was carried back. Seeing that Lu Jincheng was not here at the moment, he was rather puzzled.

What about people?

Qiao Yu got out of bed after getting dressed, opened the door and looked outside, and saw Chen Cong sitting in the yard dozing off. He was the only one in the yard, and Lu Jincheng was not in the yard.

As soon as Chen Huan heard the movement, he immediately opened his eyes, saw Qiao Yu, and said, "Master, are you awake?"

Qiao Yu nodded and walked out of the yard: "Where's your prince?"

Chen Cong scratched his head: "I walked with Brother Zhao, and said that I was going to make some copper pipes. I have been walking for a while, and I should be back soon."

Copper pipe?Qiao Yu was puzzled for a moment, and then realized what Chen Zhui was talking about. It was the copper pipe in the oven. Because of its special shape, it had to be made into an arc of suitable size.

But didn't Lu Jincheng not even know what he was going to do yesterday?But now you know what to do with the copper pipe?He didn't even draw the blueprint, so he just communicated with Zhao Kang and understood?

Qiao Yu's heart was filled with sweetness, but he only hummed without expressing much.

Chen Cong's guess was quite accurate. By the time Qiao Yu had straightened her hair and washed her face again, Lu Jincheng and Zhao Kang had already returned. Before they entered the courtyard, Chen Cong called out cleverly, "Young Master!" , the master is back."

Zhao Kang quickly swallowed half of what he said, knowing that Prince Yan must not be in the mood to listen any more.

Sure enough, Lu Jincheng raised his head when he heard the words, and looked at Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu leaned against the door and gave him a seductive smile.

"Are you awake?" Lu Jincheng asked.

As soon as this incident was mentioned, Qiao Yu couldn't help thinking why he slept in broad daylight. He was so shocked that he was afraid that Lu Jincheng would ask the bottom line, so he hurried before Lu Jincheng and said, "Well, I woke up, and Chen hurriedly said that you are going to make copper pipes. Let’s go, didn’t you say you have to draw a blueprint first?”

Lu Jincheng heard the words and said: "I heard him talk about the purpose, and roughly estimated the size. When I saw you fell asleep, I would have someone make it first. If the size is not suitable, I will do it later. You don't want to hurry up and make things first. come out?"

Seeing that he cared so much, Qiao Yu couldn't be happier. She just felt that this person not only had a handsome face, but also had a delicate heart. He fit him perfectly. Even in modern times, he couldn't find him with a lantern. 24 My good boyfriend, the more I look at him, the more I feel that this person is perfect from top to bottom, and I'm about to fall in love with him to the bone.

He stared at Lu Jincheng with a pair of dark eyes, how could Lu Jincheng not feel it, he narrowed his eyes, and his eyes became deeper and deeper, if it weren't for the fact that so many people in the courtyard were watching and they were still talking about business, He just wanted to rub the person into his arms immediately.

Looking at him with such eyes, are you deliberately seducing him?

His throat rolled twice, his heart itching.

Before he couldn't resist dragging him back into the house, Qiao Yu finally came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it should be usable, the size is actually not fixed, it's not a big problem if it's bigger or smaller. Now the main thing is to test the heat storage and heat conduction function, as long as it can be made."

In fact, Lu Jincheng knew what Qiao Yu wanted to make as soon as he heard Zhao Kang's description.

Lu Jincheng has seen several things made by Qiao Yu. He knows that his Qiao Er is a treasure, and he always seems to have countless weird ideas in his mind, so he and Qiao Yu are very connected. Know exactly what they want.

"The blacksmith promised that the copper tube can be produced today. Young master, please draw a picture, and I can take it to Song Li to start work tomorrow morning."

Qiao Yu responded without delay, went in to find a pen and paper, and made the oven in his head.

In fact, strictly speaking, it is the shape of a pot-bellied stove, with thinner top and bottom, and a circular hollow in the middle.

According to Qiao Yu's vision, some hooks can be set up on the top of the oven to hang things like roasted chicken and ducks. They can be hung hollow in the hearth without touching the hot copper pipes on the four sides. Change the left and right positions every once in a while. , it can be heated evenly without being burnt, and there is no need for people to stay by and watch all the time.

Two rows of parallel bars need to be fixed on both sides in the middle, so that two metal baking pans can be made, and things that need to be baked on the pan can be placed on the baking pan.

In Qiao Yu's vision, this baking tray should even be able to bake bread and cakes.

But the most important thing is not the appearance and function, but whether the function can be realized.

Qiao Yu clearly drew the cross-sectional diagram of each layer of the oven. For example, the innermost layer must be made of metal. The thick metal copper tubes separate the open flame and the ingredients, and can be heated. Distribute heat, and can avoid the open flame from burning on the food and scorching the food.

A larger, thinner copper tube is placed outside the copper tube to create a hollow strip that stores heat and also makes the oven safer.

The outermost layer is the soil carefully prepared by Song Li according to the proportion. This layer of outer wall acts as a tight insulation. It is pasted on the copper pipe outside the hollow belt, which not only prevents heat from escaping, but also prevents Cool air cools the copper pipes.

Strictly speaking, there is no problem with the idea, but no matter how good the idea is, it must be done.

Qiao Yu is not [-]% confident about this. If it really can't be done, then there is no way. After all, it is normal to use the original equipment to complete the modern vision.

After Qiao Yu drew the blueprint, he gave it to Lu Jincheng and Zhao Kang to study it together. Both of them felt that there was no problem, so they put away the blueprint and prepared to bring it to Song Li tomorrow together with the copper pipe, so that he could roast the blueprint. Furnace made out to try.

In fact, the reason why Qiao Yu wanted to make the oven so anxiously was that besides not wanting to delay everyone's time, he also had some selfish motives. His birthday will be the day after tomorrow, and Lu Jincheng... can be said to be quite looking forward to it, although I don't know What exactly was prepared for him, but a lot of thought must have been wasted.

Qiao Yu didn't want Lu Jincheng to work alone, but he couldn't think of something rare to celebrate. He just thought of the oven, and he had a good idea.

If this oven can be successfully made, he must bake a cake immediately.

Strictly speaking, the day of the summer solstice was not his own birthday, but he couldn't say it out, so he privately regarded this day as his and Lu Jincheng's anniversary.

To commemorate Qiao Sheng's birthday, and to commemorate his being with Lu Jincheng.

Qiao Yu was full of hope that the oven could be done in one go, but he also thought that if he really couldn't do it well, he would just make a steamed cake. Anyway, there was no cream, no matter how good he was, he could only bake a naked chiffon. Fruits and jams can barely be made into cakes, so if the oven really can't be made, he can only make up steamed cakes.

The next morning, Qiao Yu sent the things to Song Li early, and the brass pipe was not too different from what Qiao Yu expected. The two of them really had a good understanding, and they even thought of going together on such things that had never been discussed before. , Qiao Yu was in a good mood, and after finalizing the specific steps with Song Li, Song Li started to work.

Qiao Yu was looking forward to this thing too much, so he didn't move a step all morning, watching Song Li make the oven he expected.

From the outside, it looks almost the same as Qiao Yu's drawings.

But if it is successful or not, you can only know after the mud has dried.

This thing is not too difficult to make, but it is useless in an emergency. It will take a day and a night just to wait patiently for the mud to dry. If you don’t find it useful after it dries tomorrow, you will definitely not be able to catch up with him no matter what. birthday.

Qiao Yu made both hands ready, just waiting for the oven to dry.

Qiao Yu didn't come home at noon, and the carriage found at the door took him to Prince Yan's Mansion.

Uncle Chen was waiting at the door, and immediately invited him to Linxiu Pavilion as soon as he arrived.

Qiao Yu thought that Lu Jincheng was looking for him for dinner, so he walked in without asking Chen Bo any further questions. After entering the door, he found that there was indeed a table of food waiting for him to eat, but Lu Jincheng was not the only one in the room. There was a man sitting in front of Jincheng, who was pouring wine for Lu Jincheng with his back turned. Seeing that Lu Jincheng's eyes suddenly fixed behind him, he smiled without looking back: "So focused, I think it's the 'Princess' coming?"

Qiao Yu: ...

What the hell is the princess.

However, Lu Jincheng was very satisfied with this title, his eyes were full of smiles, and he stretched out his hand to Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu walked up to Lu Jincheng and sat down. The man opposite him turned his head with a smile on his face. His facial features were completely different from Lu Jincheng's, but his smile was somewhat similar. He smiled at him and said, "Officials Shangshu Mengzhao, send greetings to the 'Wangfei'."

Qiao Yu said: "Princess, let me go, just call me Qiao Yu."

Since he was able to sit here, he must have a close relationship with Lu Jincheng. Qiao Yu felt that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before. After attracting this person to see him, Qiao Yu naturally regarded this person as a friend, and did not pretend to be polite.

Meng Zhao was taken aback when he heard this.

He only heard of Qiao Yu's name, but only had a quick glance at the gate of Songyu Academy. He didn't have a deep impression of Qiao Yu, only that his appearance was unusual.

But no matter how unusual the appearance is, Hanyang City is not without it.

Prince Yan fell in love with him alone, and it would definitely not be because of his face.

Meng Zhao couldn't figure it out, but when Qiao Yu spoke, he just understood.

There is no trace of dignity in this person's eyes.

Where does it look like it looks so cute and kind.

But it was also because of this that the Fourteenth Prince favored him.

Thinking of this, Meng Zhao smiled, and looked at Lu Jincheng, "Then respect is worse than obedience."

Meng Zhao is different from Lu Jincheng. Except for Lu Jincheng who can talk a little more when flirting with Qiao Yu, he rarely talks to others. Meng Zhao is just the opposite. cooked.But after a meal, he became acquainted with Qiao Yu.

Satisfied with wine and food, Meng Zhao didn't stay any longer, so he left first.

Qiao Yu wanted to go out to see her off, but was stopped by Lu Jincheng in the room.

"Qiaoer and Qiwen had a great time talking."

Lu Jin was buried in Qiao Yu's neck half-truthfully, squinting a pair of amber eyes, and pouring hot air on Qiao Yu's earlobe.

Qiao Yu's whole body was scalded by him, she turned her head to avoid it, and said, "I have said less than ten sentences in total, and seven of them are all about um, if this is called a happy conversation, I just want to talk to you." It’s too good to be able to say that you are a close friend.”

Lu Jincheng smiled when he heard the words, and stopped pretending to be savored, and said, "Because there is someone in his family who doesn't like to talk."

Qiao Yu turned to look at him.

"You know that person too."

Only then did Qiao Yu become curious, and her eyes widened: "I know? Who?"

Lu Jincheng's heart was itching to be scratched by him like this, and he rubbed Qiao Yu's lips with his fingertips, rubbing the color of his lips until they were dripping red.

"Mr. Songyu Academy, Jiang Songyu."

Qiao Yu was very surprised. Before he could ask again, Lu Jincheng said again: "Qiao Er, guess what I invited him to do?"

Qiao Yu said, "Didn't you introduce me?"

Lu Jincheng shook his head: "Guess again?"

Qiao Yu thought to himself, how could I guess this.

Lu Jincheng put a little on his lips, and said with a smile: "Let him give me a good thing."

Qiao Yu looked puzzled, and intuitively felt that this good thing...is not a good thing.
