Chapter 51

The prophecy of the young prophet Alice Phil was effective. After three days of hardship, Eugenie decided to accept the proposal of the French emperor. It seemed that the glory of being a queen was more than being a rich lady. Before leaving, Miss Montiro came to Situ Garden alone to say goodbye to the rich man.

I have to give some explanation to the little baron, otherwise my mother's wish to be a French agent for Leica will definitely fail. In fact, Miss Montiru is not sure whether her decision will annoy Tangning. No matter what, it is less pressure to annoy the great rich than annoy the emperor of France.

In this era, it is social pressure for young single girls to visit men alone, but Eugenie is a heroine, and this is the lively daytime in the bustling Situ Garden. The headquarters of International Academy, Faraday Electric Power Company, Lego Company, Round Table Knights and other headquarters are all nearby. The number of employees and students is over 1,000, and they often go to Situ Palace. Therefore, Eugenie is considered a business visit, and the pressure is smaller.

When Eugenie met Tang Ning, he was playing with Lego bricks with four children. One of the four children was a VIP - Princess Louise. The other three were two men from the International Academy, one of Lolita, who was 6-year-old Linfell.

Some people are puzzled. Isn’t the 4-year-old Princess Louise angry because she didn’t receive Downing’s bicycle gift? Why are she happy to come to Uncle Tangning to play? This... because Downing found that once the news in the Telegraph was related to the royal family, it was particularly popular, such as the fact that several round table knight bicycles were given to Queen Victoria’s family. Downing, who has the talent for hype, planned a news related to the royal family, made a baby stroller, and gave it to Princess Louise, and the title reads "Uncle Tangning"

Uncle apologized to Princess Louise and presented a special children's bicycle." The children also have their own bicycles, and "it seems" that the entire child carriage product line was built for Princess Louise. Under the turmoil of the queen and his wife, Princess Louise completely fell in love with Uncle Tangning. Today she followed her 12-year-old sister Princess Victoria to play. However, Princess Victoria loves to study and read books in Tangning's library. The four children play together.

The beautiful and charming countess came. Lin Feier opened his eyes widened and looked at this "big rival" and heard Tang Ning's voice in his ears: "You guys play for yourself, I'll go to entertain guests."

Linfell was distracted and was criticized by Princess Louise: "Why are you not moving? Let it be here!" In desperation, she had to return to the world of Lego again. Of course, even if she was a genius and precocious child, she would forget her love rivals in three minutes.

When the two came to the empty marble salon, Donning smiled calmly and said in French: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Your Majesty." In English, Queen is the queen and the queen, and in French, Reine is both the queen and the queen, so it is also appropriate to call Your Majesty.

Eugenie: "…How do you know?"

Tang Ning was cooking Tieguanyin from Fujian with his own hands, and entertaining the future French queen with the Qing Dynasty tea ceremony. He said indifferently: "I can tell from the wording of the telegram you sent and your current expression. If you come to agree to my proposal, you should look shy, but I regret to see the shame, alas..."

Fortunately, he didn't have a deep relationship with Eugenie, and he wasn't sure she was the lady he was going to marry, so the sadness was faint, and he could not have made any vigorous actions as a rationalist.

Eugenie sighed: "Then, can we still be friends?"

Tang Ning first used a spoon to pick up tea dumplings from the jar, and said gracefully: "Look at what you said, it is a glory to be friends with the Queen of France. It's too late to be happy."

Eugenie doesn't have a queen-like appearance now, and she speaks like a little girl: "I take your words seriously, so I'll say something serious - my mother said she wants to be the general agent of Leica in France. With our family's future influence in France, it will greatly promote Leica's sales in France. In business, I think it's more in line with the business rules of our family's general agent, right?"

Tang Ning did not answer her immediately, and seemed to be boiling water with all his attention.

It is different if you have electricity. Tangning now uses electricity. Of course, it is a very basic electric furnace. The heating and light can be visible to the naked eye. There is no optimization for boiling water at all. Tangning has instructed his men to develop an electric kettle for boiling water, but it has not been successful yet, let alone automatic timing and other automation functions. This thing is a heating body, made of resistive wires with large resistivity and high melting point wound on insulating materials. It is very simple. However, it was the first time that Eugenie saw her. Her commercial sense of smell is not much worse than her mother. She is very interested in asking if this thing is his new invention.

Tangning: "Yes, but this requires the popularization of electricity before it becomes useful, and France will not work for the time being. The City of London will be the first place to popularize electricity."

The boiling water was boiled soon, but he still did not answer Eugenie's question about Leica, and he focused on introducing the purple clay pot he used to make tea. This was a stone pudding pot made by Huang Pengnian, an editor of the Hanlin Academy, a contemporary master from Beijing by Xu Rongcun. Unfortunately, the local tea tasting family did not even recognize the words in the poem above, but just whispered that this is a famous product of famous artists. The focus is on introducing the thermal insulation effect of purple clay, which is not hot.

Europeans have the habit of putting sugar when drinking tea, and Eugenie also asked: "Does Chinese people drink tea without adding sugar?"

Tangning: "Of course not, but tea without sugar tastes better. This is a kind of elegant charm. Although it is not as satisfying as adding sugar when drinking, it feels comfortable after drinking. There are two sins of sugar, one is to make people obese and the other is to make people sick. Both are not good things. Therefore, I am willing to invite the Queen, you must also develop the habit of not eating sugar."

Eugenie corrected him embarrassingly: "Don't call me the queen, it sounds weird, call me... and call me when you arrive in Paris."

Tang Ning was so kind: "Okay, then I'll call you Eugenie. Oh, it's a pity. What a great girl. I want to marry a fake Napoleon... This fake Napoleon will probably hate me because I'm robbing him. Leica France agents are the agent. I thought about it, but I'm not going to give it to you, but I don't want to start this business in France. I heard that the French like Leica very much. Well, that's it. Just do it. In this way, I'm qualified to bargain with Napoleon III. He must agree to my Telegraph and Telegraph company operate in France, otherwise Leica and all my products will not enter France in the future, including the great power and lights. Please help me convey this meaning to Louis."

Eugenie frowned: "I still said it was a friend, aren't you taking revenge on me?"

Tang Ning rolled his eyes: "Why is it revenge... Okay, I'll give you a gift, wait..." He left the teahouse and after a while, he took out a paper box. The paper box was beautifully packaged, and it was obvious that it was a new invention he wanted to commercialize.

Eugenie read the above words: "Toothpaste & Toothbrush Set..."

The handles of toothbrushes in this era are generally made of animal bones and have strange shapes, while the bristles are made of animal hair. The low-end ones use pig bristles, and the high-end ones use badger hair, which not only has bacteria left, but also easily fall off. Tangning's new invention is a white and white soft-bristled toothbrush, which is uniform and beautiful. The handle is an old friend's acetate fiber. The material of the hair is the newly invented nylon, which is a particularly wear-resistant material suitable for making brushes, and its raw materials are cotton and wood.

I am really surprised every day when I am with the inventor and have new love every day. Eugenie can't let go of this beautiful little toothbrush with high elasticity and consistency. Obviously, she likes this gift very much.

Compared to small toothbrushes, toothpaste has a very high technological content, not extremely high, but extremely high. Although Eugenie is smart and knowledgeable, she is unlikely to know the ultra-high technological content of this toothpaste. The container for toothpaste is extraordinary, and it is a metal hose - aluminum.

The mere ability to use aluminum is a major industrial breakthrough itself. Aluminum does not have natural existence in nature like iron. It was discovered very late. In 1808, Faraday's teacher, Humphry David, known as the father of inorganic chemistry, named it and tried to produce it. The real production had to wait until 1825. Danish chemist Hans Oster successfully reduced aluminum from aluminum chloride with potassium. In 1827, German chemist Friedrich Weiler, who synthesized urea from inorganic substances and shocked the world, used potassium of metal to reduce molten anhydrous aluminum chloride to obtain purer metal aluminum element. Because it was difficult to obtain, the price of aluminum was higher than that of gold at that time. In order to show off, Emperor Napoleon gave people gold when he was entertaining guests, and used more expensive aluminum tableware himself. Although the price of aluminum dropped a lot due to Weiler's invention, it was still a precious metal.

Tangning was able to treat precious metals as containers for daily necessities, of course, because his aluminum-making made breakthroughs. Due to the extensive deployment of electricity in his own factories, he was able to use electrolytics that no one could use to make aluminum. The British Aluminum Company, which he established in a low-key manner, will become another gold-absorbing machine after the British Steel Company. Aluminum is another large-scale metal after steel, and has many advantages that many steels do not have. It is lighter and easier to form. Everyone has seen how pottery is formed by rotation. The aluminum is soft and has super ductility. By replacing the potter's hands with steel tools, aluminum can be molded like pottery and made into various vessels. One of the major disadvantages of steel is rust, and oxidation of aluminum in the air will produce a layer of dense alumina, wrapping the container tightly and tightly, thus preventing the further oxidation of aluminum and naturally has anti-oxidation and corrosion resistance.

Of course, the current production of the British aluminum industry is not enough to make aluminum cheaper to large-scale use, so aluminum hose toothpaste is also a luxury. Although toothpaste cannot be sold as a "rental", the toothpaste skin still needs to be recycled, and the gift given to the French queen is an exception.

In this era, the thing people used to brush their teeth was powdered calcium carbonate. Small particles were insoluble in water and were "friction agents" used to clean teeth. This can be called tooth cleaning powder. Of course, the powder cannot be applied to toothbrushes, so people used their hands to directly pick up the powder and apply it on their teeth and then brush their teeth. The toothpaste invented by Tangning added a wetting agent to keep the paste in a long time. When a milky white toothpaste was squeezed out from the aluminum hose, Eugenie felt an unprecedented joy. This is the charm of technology.

When Eugenie squeezed out the toothpaste and stuck it on the toothbrush to worship and watch, Tang Ning knew that he had created another era and changed the living habits of people in this era.

Tangning encouraged her to try it: "This toothpaste is made with mint and sweetener, and the taste is very good, you can try it."

Do ladies have to brush their teeth in front of men? Of course it is embarrassing, but curiosity about high-tech has made Eu Renfei forget the identity of the lady and the future queen. As expected, she went to Tangning's bathroom to brush her teeth, and someone was still watching her.

Tang Ning introduced seriously: "The toothpaste is added to the active agent to produce rich foam. Now do you feel that the whole mouth is filled with happy foam?"

The lady brushing her teeth couldn't speak, and she nodded with her big eyes, and Tangning looked funny.

In order to teach the lady an advanced way of brushing teeth, Tang Ning also picked up a toothbrush and squeezed toothpaste, demonstrating it for her to show it.

The two brushed their teeth together with interest. Time passed unknowingly, and Eugenie finally vomited out all the dream bubbles of happiness and fulfillment, and laughed confidently like Tang Ning.

Tang Ning: "Is it a refreshing feeling when adding mint toothpaste?"

Eugenie nodded vigorously, and her admiration for the inventor reached an extreme point, and used "so magical" to describe her mood at this moment.

Tang Ning said proudly, "I'm very confident." Seeing Eugenie's pretty look so cute and beautiful, he opened his mouth and squirted at the future queen and teased her.

How rude, fortunately no one sees it here, and after arriving in Paris, he will not see the young and handsome little baron for a long time. Eugenie also spat a sweet breath at him and responded to his teasing.

If Eugenie scolded the frivolous little baron, her journey as a queen would be smooth sailing. However, luck made people feel bad, she responded to the other party in this way. There is no doubt that when she blew onto his face with a wet and fragrant breath, his heart beat faster and his beast's blood boiled.

Eugenie was also heartbroken and hung her head, but she didn't escape immediately, giving the predators the love field the feeling that "the queen lost her deer, and the whole world chased her."

When Tangning held her hand, she felt shocked and said "no". Her "no" was worse than not saying it, because her tone was so weak and lazi.

Tang Ning, who was planning to attack with all his strength, had already embraced her slim waist, pulled her plump breasts closer, and pressed them against her chest, allowing the two beating hearts to resonate and make the flames of love burn more fiercely.
