"Oh! This mutton is so delicious! How can good meat not have good wine? Xiao Xuan, quickly get someone to bring the wine! I'll have a good drink with your father and grandfather! "
Everyone said that there was a Cheng Yaojin who appeared out of nowhere, but Li Zexuan ate a Cheng Yaojin in the middle of the hotpot!
The old demoness had come here to see how the Li family's greenhouse vegetables were growing, because his family's farmstead and Qin Qiong's farmstead had recently started to introduce greenhouse vegetable planting technology.
The result! The old man did not even look at the greenhouse vegetables. The moment he entered the house, his eyes were fixed on the mutton, fish, and dipping sauce on the table.
After interacting with Cheng Yaojin for so long, how could Li Zexuan not understand what this old man was thinking? Thus, he did not say anything and directly "tactfully" invited Cheng Yaojin to eat hotpot together! In any case, with this old man's status, he did not have to worry about Wu Hou arresting him for the curfew when the sky turned dark!
Cheng Yaojin gave Li Zexuan a look of approval, then sat down and started eating.
As the saying goes, eat big pieces of meat and drink big bowls of wine. After eating for a while, Cheng Yaojin felt that something was wrong, so he shouted for Li Zexuan to bring the wine!
Li Zexuan had no choice but to let San Bao go to the wine cellar to get a jar of Immortal Drunken Wine.
After the wine was served, the atmosphere became even more lively. Cheng Yaojin was a straightforward person. In this year, he had become quite familiar with Father Li. Ye Guozhong had been in a high position for a long time, so he was also experienced and knowledgeable. The three of them had a lot of common topics to talk about.
Li Zexuan felt that Cheng Yaojin's alcohol tolerance wasn't very good. Moreover, he only wanted to eat hotpot and didn't really want to drink. Therefore, he didn't join them. He ate happily with Lan 'er, Madam Li, and Old Madam Ye!
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Cheng Yaojin burped and returned with the smell of alcohol. Before he left, the old man did not forget to tell Li Zexuan, "Burp! Xiao Xuan! Your family's hotpot, burp, is too delicious! Later, I'll send my chef over, burp, you have to get someone to teach him! I, Old Cheng, haven't eaten so much in a long time, burp, I drank so much! "
The old man had completely forgotten his original intention of coming to the Li family. The only thing he remembered was the hotpot. It had to be said that in a situation where there was no war, the desire for good food was Old Cheng's greatest pursuit now!
...
The next day, near noon, Li Residence.
"Feiji, take these blueprints to the workshop, and give them to Faubert in the next two days!"
Li Zexuan called Pang Feiji over, took out two pieces of paper and handed them over.
"Yes!" Marquis! "
Pang Feiji left.
Li Zexuan asked people to carry a coal stove and a basket of honeycomb briquettes into the carriage. The coal stove was still burning, and then he rode the carriage to the palace. He wanted to see Li Er.
As for the blueprints that he just gave to Pang Feiji, they were the radiators and heating pipes that he had just drawn in the morning. The structure was quite simple, and he had already measured the dimensions in the morning. As for the dimensions of the house in Yunshan Villa, he had drawn the blueprints of the villa, so naturally, there was no need to measure them.
Li Zexuan planned to install self-made heaters for his residence and Yunshan Villa at the same time.
Anyway, now that he had the honeycomb briquettes and the coal stove, he just needed to set up a pot and arrange some pipes, and it was basically done!
This was made by imitating the self-made heaters in the villages in his previous life. The principle was also very simple:
A big boiler that boiled water. The furnace was double-layered, and the top and bottom were closed. The top was connected to a steel pipe, and the water pipe went up from the flue to the heater water supply. This point was the lowest point of the water pipe, and the heater end was the highest point. There was an exhaust valve, and the slope was one percent.
The bottom level was connected to the heater return water, and the top of the return water pipe was connected to the heater water supply pipe. The height of the return water pipe was higher than the highest point of the supply pipe, and there was a water supply tank at the back. The bottom of the return water pipe was the lowest point of the heater, and the slope was one percent.
The water in the furnace was heated and turned into steam, and through the water pipe, it dissipated to the highest point and turned into a mixture of hot water and steam. The hot water entered the radiator to dissipate heat, and its temperature decreased, density increased, and volume decreased. It entered the boiler through the return water pipe, and thus formed a circulation circuit.
The slope of the water pipe for self-made heaters was very important. If the slope was reversed, it would not be hot. The water layer in the furnace had to be thin, 1-3 millimeters, because the thick water layer would consume coal. The exhaust valve at the highest point had to be opened, or else the whole system would be closed, and there would be an explosion!
The reason why Li Zexuan had only started to install a heater now was because he didn't have honeycomb briquettes or a coal stove. It was very inconvenient to boil water because charcoal could not last as long as honeycomb briquettes! Now that he had created the honeycomb coal and coal stove, he had to quickly install the heating in his house!
…
In the Imperial Palace, Li Er returned to the Li Zheng Hall in Xiyuan right after the morning court session, because there were charcoal braziers and heaters here!
Although he was an emperor on horseback and knew martial arts, he was far from being invulnerable to cold and heat like a martial arts grandmaster. In this kind of weather, he would also feel cold!
Li Er had just spoken for a while with Empress Zhangsun in the Li Zheng Hall when an attendant from the Yellow Door came to report.
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Yong 'an requests an audience!"
Li Er was stunned for a moment before he laughed out loud. "Oh? When did this brat take the initiative to look for me? Did he say what happened? "
Ever since Li Zexuan entered the officialdom, most of the time, he would only enter the palace when Li Er summoned him. It was extremely rare for him to take the initiative to enter the palace like today!
"Replying to Your Majesty, the Marquis of Yong 'an said that he is here to present a treasure!"
That attendant replied cautiously.
"Present a treasure? Heh! Today, new things are happening one after another! Let him wait at the Sweet Dew Hall first. I will be there soon! "
Li Er's curiosity was piqued. He didn't care about the cold weather outside. He put on a fox fur coat and prepared to go to the Sweet Dew Hall to meet Li Zexuan.
After all, this was the imperial harem, and Li Zexuan was already an adult and a married man. Of course, he couldn't let him come here! If it was at the beginning of the year before Li Zexuan was married, Li Er might have met him in the imperial harem. But now, it was absolutely impossible.
"Your Majesty, this concubine also wants to see what treasure the Marquis of Yong 'an is offering. I wonder if I can go with Your Majesty?"
It was Empress Zhangsun who was also interested. She asked Li Er.
"Haha! Since Maid Guanyin is interested, then let's go together! But it's very cold outside. Maid Guanyin, you have to wear an extra layer of clothing! "
Li Er laughed and agreed very straightforwardly.
"Thank you for Your Majesty's concern. This concubine knows!"
Empress Zhangsun's heart warmed. A palace maid helped her put on a mink fur coat before the husband and wife left!
