"Mr. Marquis, what is the core item you are talking about? Even if we cannot make it now, at least we must let us know its function and function. Of course, it is best to have a working principle!" Hu Kuan still refused to give up.

"I have talked about this thing to Dean Zhang before!" Chen Xu pointed at Zhang Cang and said with a smile.

Zhang Cang was stunned for a long time, then he lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and suddenly looked up at Chen Xu in surprise: "Was the Marquis talking about the machine that could drive the carriage without the human resources required on the day the water wheel mill was successful that day?"

"Yes!" Chen Xu nodded, "The so-called machines we are developing and manufacturing now require manual and cattle and horses to drive. These are actually not real machines. When I told Dean Zhang that real machines can run tirelessly and never stop like water wheel mills without livestock. To achieve this goal, we need a source of power that continuously provides a stream of power like water wheels. This is the core. This core is called the engine. Only when we successfully produce this core component can all machines be like humans, animals and animals, live and truly own the soul of the machine..."

"Mr. Marquis, what is the principle of this kind of machine?" Not only Hu Kuan was completely interested, but Zhang Cangma Gan Gongshusheng and other groups looked at Chen Xu with excitement on their faces.

"Principle..." Chen Xu's eyes twitched slightly, then stared at the heat rising from the teacup in his hand, so he relaxed his face and said with a smile: "The principle is on the teacup in your hands!"

A group of people stared at the teacup in their hands with wide eyes, each with strange and confused expressions.

"Master Hou said that this kind of engine requires tea?" Ma Gan said hesitantly.

"Puff~~" Chen Xu squirted a mouthful of tea from a distance, shook his head with a black thread and said, "Use your brain, it's not tea or tea!"

"Why is the Marquis talking about a teacup... Oh, I know, this engine must be made of ceramics and can only work like making tea..." Gong Shusheng spoke suddenly.

Chen Xu:...

It seems that there is no problem saying this. Ceramic engines are not without them in later generations, but the principle is definitely not like this.

Seeing Chen Xu shaking his head like a rattle, Hu Kuan finally couldn't hold it in and begged, "Mr. Marquis, Kuan has been to Lingnan for more than a year, and his wife and children have no time to take care of him. This time, he finally came back early and found that Xianyang was developing. Kuan has been following Marquis for almost six years now. He is still imagining what Marquis said about the steel giant ship and the iron-winged bird. I dare not think about the magic weapon you said that the thousands of miles of voice transmission is not enough, nor can I think of it. But the iron ship and bird hope to see it in his lifetime, otherwise he would die with his eyes open. Therefore, he also begs the Marquis to explain the principle of this engine and Kuan finds some skillful craftsmen to develop it. If it can be successfully made, wouldn't it be beneficial to the world..."

"Yes, Marquis, what President Hu said is good, don't keep it in your mouth!" The group of people began to beg.

"Okay, today is just entertainment leisure, so I will tell you about the distance from steam power..."

"Mr. Marquis, Chef Fan notified that the dishes have been prepared and it is ready to serve!"

Just as Chen Xu was about to use the principle of the steam engine, the manager of the kitchen rush in to report.

Chen Xu turned his head to look at the sky outside the living room, so he waved his hand and stood up and said, "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, after having a banquet, I went to the city to watch the lanterns, guess riddles and fireworks, how can I talk about these boring things? Let's go, follow me to the restaurant for a banquet first!"

"Oh~" Zhang Cang, Hu Kuan and others stood up with extreme disappointment.

Chen Xu:...

Damn it, scientists and technicians are stupid. It seems that the same is true in ancient and modern times. A good festival is almost a technical lecture by a group of guys. I don’t like such good entertainment as eating, drinking, shopping and having fun. As expected, I am already stupid.

Under the leadership of Chen Xu, a group of people who played mahjong and bought codes in the living room came to the restaurant in a huge crowd.

At this time, a long dining table seven or eight feet long had been spliced ​​in the restaurant, with tablecloths on it. Dozens of maids were placing bowls, chopsticks, cups, and bottles of wine and mulberry wine filled the table. The crystal clear glass cups and porcelain tableware were emitting an attractive light under the lanterns hanging high around.

Everyone was not very particular about the seats. Except for Chen Xu sitting high in the main seat, everyone else sat next to someone they knew. At this time, the kitchen chefs had already started serving dishes. First, they were served several large basins of fragrant dog meat, and then steamed and fried dishes of different styles, such as beef, sheep, chicken and duck, birds, beasts, crabs, shrimps, fish and turtles, as well as bear paw elephant pulls, sea cucumbers and abalone. As the kitchen workers traveled and registered with the dishes like water, various delicacies were continuously placed on the dining table, and soon the whole restaurant was filled with fragrance.

When the dishes were served, the maid poured wine for everyone. Chen Xu glanced at him and found that there seemed to be one person missing. So he thought about it and asked a maid next to him: "Have you ever seen Doctor Xu?"

"Report to the Marquis, Doctor Xu was invited by several wives to teach the methods of raising and raising children in the backyard!"

Uh, a few black lines appeared on Chen Xu's forehead, and he waved his hand and said, "Go and invite Doctor Xu to the table, just wait for him!"

"Yes, Marquis!" The maid turned around and left, and after a few minutes, she ran over panting and said, "Mr. Marquis, Doctor Xu has already attended the banquet with all the ladies and female guests in the inner courtyard, so he told the Marquis not to wait for him!"

Well, Chen Xu had no choice but to give up.

As the director of the imperial physician and health center with the best medical skills in Daqin, Xu Fu has a very high reputation among the people. Chen Xu once warned Xu Fu to focus on obstetrics and gynecology and pay more attention to the care and diagnosis and treatment of pregnant women and babies in recent years. Therefore, in addition to compiling and sorting medical works such as Compendium of Materia Medica, Xu Fu has focused on obstetrics and gynecology medical skills. In the past few years, he not only accumulated a lot of midwifery and nursing experience, but also became a famous obstetrician in Xianyang, and has cultivated many obstetricians and nurses with midwifery and nursing experience.

At present, the Qin Dynasty inherited the ritual system and traditions of the Zhou Dynasty. Although Confucianism occupied the main academic territory, it had not yet developed into a major sect that could rule China. The hundreds of schools did not particularly admire Confucianism, and there was a large amount of critical consciousness. Although the saying that men and women were not close to each other, it was not mainstream among the people and the court. Overall, the relationship between men and women in the Zhou Dynasty was relatively chaotic, and the Qin and Han dynasties were also relatively chaotic, which was far from the situation where men and women defended greatly after the perverted development of Song and Ming ritual studies in later generations.

If men and women have the same identities, it is not surprising that they will sit together. In the past, kings, princes and ministers set up banquets to entertain guests, and their wives will attend to show respect. In the past, Chen Xu invited guests, Shui Qingrou, Ying Shiman and others would have had a banquet together, but today there were too many guests, and almost all the male guests who came to visit brought female relatives. Therefore, in order to prevent a group of female guests from being restrained, Chen Xu directly asked someone to hold a separate banquet in the inner courtyard, allowing Shui Qingrou and others to accompany him. Such a group of women could also discuss some private topics that were inconvenient for men to participate.

Unexpectedly, a strange creature was added to the female guest banquet specially arranged today.

Chen Xu was a little gloating, but he was afraid that today's meal would be the most painful time that Xu Fu had.

Some people say that a woman is like five hundred ducks, and a table of women... I guess Xu Fu will feel that there are women in his ears quarreling for several days after he goes back.

Chen Xu thought about the scene of Xu Fu's pain at the banquet in the inner courtyard. He stood up with a smile and raised his wine glass and said, "Now the Japanese Marquis is happy to have a daughter, and my second brother has returned from Lingnan. It is the Mid-Autumn Festival again. This is the time when three joys are coming. I will drink a cup with you friends to congratulate you on your happy holidays, happy family, and prosperous officials in the future. Please!"

"Thank you, Marquis, everyone, and wish you good luck!" Chen Ping raised his glass and said loudly.

"I wish you good luck in the marquis, please~"

"Please~~"

Everyone raised their glasses to congratulate, and then covered their robes with their faces and raised their heads to pour a full glass of wine into their mouths.

"Happy, the wine from the Marquis' house is delicious!" Hu Kuan sat down and laughed happily.

"Haha, this is naturally. The wine sold by the Marquis' house is very different from the wines sold by the wineries on weekdays. They are all brewed by selected fruits from each winery. We can't buy them on weekdays. So we can pour all the wines. Today, we don't let you go out if you don't drink all the wines from the Marquis' house!" Someone laughed and said.

After drinking a glass of wine, the atmosphere on the table instantly returned to laughter. Chen Xu picked up a piece of fragrant dog meat for himself and finished eating it. Then he picked up the wine glass and said loudly: "There may be something else in this marquis's mansion, but there is only wine, wine, mulberry wine, and drunk Eight Immortals are all sufficient. Since you are here, you will never be drunk today and drink another cup. Please~"

"Okay, I won't be drunk and I won't return. Please~" As the sounds of each other were heard, everyone raised their wine glasses.

Soon after the three rounds of wine, many people became more and more excited, and the atmosphere at the table became more and more intense. Some people began to toast and drink with each other with each other. During the conversation and laugh, dozens of pairs of chopsticks rose and fell, and the banquet soon entered the most lively stage.

The maids who served kept passing by the guests to pour wine and pick up food and serve them. A luxurious banquet full of laughter and joy was lively, and a full moon gradually rose with the arrival of night, emitting a cold silver radiance, reflecting the night sky deep and quiet.

Under the quiet and clear moonlight, Xianyang, together with the southern bank of the Wei River and even nearby counties such as Jingyang, Liyang, Meiyang, Zhiyang, Weinan, etc., are all brightly lit and crowded, forming the most magnificent night view of lights.
