Li Ya 'er opened the package and looked at the dry meat and dough. She frowned. How could these things be compared with the food in the dining car? She could smell the delicious food in the dining car from afar, but the dry food in front of her didn't have the slightest enticing aroma even when she put her nose close to it.
"Sister, I'd better save my stomach! The dining car is full of delicious food. It's much better than these. "
Li Ya 'er gently wrapped the dry food package and put it back to its original place.
"Knock, knock, knock …"
There was a knock on the door outside the private room.
"Who is it?"
"I'm here to deliver food. Open the door."
"It's you again. Come in quickly!"
Li Ya 'er recognized the train station employee. He was the one who led them into the train. At this moment, he was pushing the dining car into the private room.
"Wow, it smells so good! You're really a good person. "
Li Ya 'er praised him and opened the thermal porcelain lid. She said in surprise, "Wow, it smells so good! There's so much delicious food. Thank you. "
"There are two more floors below. They're all yours. I was afraid that the delicious food would be taken away by those people, so I kept some for you. "
"Wow, there are two more. They must be delicious. Thank you so much. Sister, come and eat!"
Li Ya 'er was overjoyed. She had never seen such delicious food. Every dish looked, smelled, and tasted good.
"This is a poached egg. This is sirloin beef. This is …"
"Thank you. You can leave now."
Li Hanlu walked over lightly and thanked him coldly.
"Hehe, please enjoy. I'll take my leave."
The train station employee left with a smile. It was as if he was scolded by a cold beauty and felt very happy.
"Sister, he's a good person. Why were you so fierce to him?"
"Was I really fierce just now?"
Li Hanlu obviously didn't think that what she did just now was wrong. She was used to it and didn't think that it was rude to treat people like this.
"Sister, come and eat! It's really delicious. I want everything. It won't be good if it gets cold. "
Li Ya 'er smiled and picked up the chopsticks and began to eat.
Of course, Li Hanlu couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food. After a few mouthfuls, she sped up the speed of eating and revealed an imperceptible smile.
"Sister, you're smiling. You haven't smiled for three months."
Li Ya 'er teased and continued to eat.
The two women quickly finished all the delicious food and pushed the leftovers out of the private room along with the small dining cart, placing them in the aisle outside.

. "Li Ya 'er said with a smile and looked at the wheat field outside the window with interest.
The last time she went to the capital, she had also taken this path, but all she saw was barren land without a single wheat sprout. In just a few years, not only did the Great Tang have trains, it was even able to plant wheat in winter. This was too shocking for her.
Li Huaijie and Li Yanchong, who were sitting in the front room, were also shocked.
The table in front of them was filled with all kinds of delicious food, more than what was sent to Li Ya 'er's room. In addition, they were served with strong liquor with high alcohol content. Only the two of them could enjoy such treatment. After all, in order to save food, the production of this kind of liquor was strictly limited. Only the noblest and the most important people were qualified to drink this kind of liquor.
The two of them ate the meat and drank the liquor. They often looked at the wheat field outside the window with a complicated expression.
In Songmo and Rao Le, there was ice and snow everywhere. It was good to be able to hunt for game. But in the Tang dynasty, crops could be planted in winter. The geographical difference was really big.
It was almost impossible for them to fight against the Tang Empire with their barbarian strength. At most, they could run away and rob some things.
Over the years, they had been complaining that they were bullied by An Lushan and were often attacked for no reason. But they and their tribes often raided the villages of the Tang dynasty and robbed them of food, cattle, and horses. So, there was no problem of who bullied who. The two of them and An Lushan were the same kind of people.
"I heard that the Tang dynasty tried to plant wheat in winter last year and it was a great success. This year, the whole north of the Tang dynasty is planting wheat in winter. In this way, the grain output will increase by at least 30%. The national strength will be further strengthened. We can't compare with it."
Li Huaijie looked at the wheat sprout outside the window and started the conversation.
"Yes! The national strength of the Tang dynasty is getting stronger and stronger. They even built a train. We can reach Chang 'an from Luoyang in less than a day by sitting in it. If we ride horses and walk, it will take us at least ten days. What if it's ten times faster? "
Li Yanchong was also shocked by the national strength and technology of the Tang dynasty.
"Brother Yanchong, do you still remember the bridge we passed on the way here?"
"Is it the two-story bridge that is two miles long?"
"Yes, at that time, we just thought that the bridge was very big. But one of my subordinates told me that the Tang dynasty will build a bridge over the Yellow River in the future and build a railway all the way to Yingzhou. In this way, it will only take a few days to reach Yingzhou from Chang 'an. Once the train is used to transport soldiers, it will only take a few days for the 100,000 troops of the Tang dynasty to reach us. At that time, I didn't know what a train was, but now we are sitting in a train. Such a train is enough to transport thousands of soldiers. It only takes dozens of trains for the Tang Army to do this."
Li Huaijie said seriously.
Li Yanchong frowned and paused for a long time. Then, he drank a glass of strong liquor and said, "Since the Tang dynasty has even built a train, has it made more terrible things? I remember that the iron mines in Hebei Province use black medicine to blow up the iron ore to increase the mining speed. Since the black medicine can even blow up stones, it will be more powerful if it is used to deal with soldiers and horses."
"I heard that all the strange things we encountered along the way were made in Chang 'an. When we get there, we must learn more about it."
Li Huaijie said softly.
"Why do we have to wait until Chang 'an? Why don't we just catch someone and ask him first?"
Li Yanchong was a little impatient. He immediately walked to the door and asked the Tang dynasty officials to come in and serve him.
"Lord Huaishun, Lord Huaixin, what can I do for you?"
Li Yanchong said first, "I heard that there are many workshops in Chang 'an that can make all kinds of things. Trains are one of them. Besides trains, what else do they have? Tell me one by one."
"There are too many. There are plowers, bulldozers, water pumps, harvesters, steam cars, artillery …"
The official didn't know too much, but he knew a little about all the important things, so he could tell them a lot.
Li Huaijie and Li Yanchong looked at each other. They had no idea what those things were for, so they had to ask the official to explain them one by one. As the official explained step by step, their expressions became more and more surprised, and could even be described as shocked.
"Well, you can leave now!"
Li Yanchong asked the official to leave, then looked at Li Huaijie and said in surprise, "The Tang dynasty is becoming more and more powerful. They can even use artillery to attack the enemy from a thousand steps away. That's terrible."
"That's nothing. It's said that there are more powerful weapons, which are being studied. In addition, the most terrible thing should be the train we are on. That's the most powerful weapon. With the train, the Tang dynasty can send troops in any direction in a very short time."
Li Huaijie looked out of the window and said seriously.
"That's right! The train will be the most powerful weapon of the Tang dynasty in the future. "
Li Yanchong nodded in agreement and fell into deep thought.
As time went by, the sky became darker and darker. It was already dark outside, and the people in the train began to rest.
The people who lived in the soft sleeper compartment could naturally lie down and rest comfortably, while the people who sat in the soft sleeper compartment could only lean on the seat and sleep.
After a comfortable night's sleep, the train arrived at the Changan City Railway Station early the next morning and stopped steadily.
In order to welcome these guests who came from afar, the imperial court of the Tang dynasty sent the Minister of Honglu Temple and several subordinates to welcome them in person to show the importance of the leaders of the two Tibetans. They also brought the two groups of people to the Honglu Guild.
Ang Lee went to the R&D Center early in the morning, and he went there in a very good mood. Last night, Zhao Yefu served him very well. Moreover, the three women talked happily in the mansion and didn't have any intention of quarreling.
When people were in a good mood, all kinds of good things would follow. As soon as he walked into the R&D Center, several craftsmen rushed over excitedly.
"What's the matter? Is there a good thing?"
"Assistant Minister Li, according to your request, we replaced the spring on the gun base with a larger model. As a result, all the problems have been solved, and the armored gun car can be used normally."
A craftsman reported excitedly.
"It's only been a day, and the problems have been solved. Great, let's go for a test drive now."
Ang Lee was overjoyed. He would personally operate the gun today and try the power of the armored gun car.
After entering the armored gun car, the driver drove the gun car to the test area and stopped steadily.
"Load the shell and get ready to fire."
Ang Lee ordered personally. He turned the handwheel and aimed the gun muzzle at the distant earth wall.
In order to increase the accuracy of the cannons, Li An had installed a 10x scope on the new cannons. Using the scope to aim before firing, the accuracy of the cannons would be further increased, allowing the cannons to unleash greater power.
After the shell and propellant were loaded, Ang Lee had used the scope to completely aim the muzzle of the gun at the distant earth wall and immediately ordered, "Fire!"
"Boom …"
After a loud noise, the earth wall was accurately hit and a large part of it collapsed.
"Okay, let's fire again."
Ang Lee wanted to test whether the reliability of the armored gun car would be weakened after continuous firing.
"Boom …"
After six consecutive shots, the armored gun car didn't seem to be damaged. None of the parts were shaken out of their original position, which made Ang Lee quite satisfied.
"Move forward, hit the earth wall in front."
Ang Lee continued to give orders. He wanted to see for himself whether the armored gun car could still move forward well after firing and how it would react after hitting the earth wall.
The Iron Armored Artillery Vehicle started moving slowly. It rushed towards the remaining wall at a relatively fast speed and crashed into it. After smashing through the wall, it ran over the remaining pieces of earth.
"Stop, let's get out."
Ang Lee asked the driver to stop the gun car. After the gun car stopped, he got out of the gun car and checked the effect of the attack and the rolling.
"Not bad, it's better than I expected. The earth wall has been completely crushed. An ordinary small wall like this can be easily broken through by an armored gun car."
Ang Lee was very satisfied with the power of the armored gun car. He immediately decided to start mass production after several tests.
Of course, mass production of such a powerful and expensive weapon required Li Longji's approval. However, Ang Lee believed that Li Longji would definitely not object. This emperor was fond of grandiose achievements. He would not object to such a powerful weapon. This kind of weapon could completely satisfy his psychological need to expand his territory. As long as the national power could afford it, mass production could be carried out.
There were still many research projects in the R&D Center that required Ang Lee's guidance. Ang Lee went to understand the progress of the research and development one by one. Based on his knowledge, he gave timely guidance to the difficulties encountered in the research and development process so that these people could develop the products as soon as possible.
In the afternoon, Ang Lee personally went to the Daming Palace. He wanted to personally tell Li Longji the news of the successful test of the armored gun car and ask Li Longji to agree to mass production of the armored gun car.
In Ang Lee's view, the armored gun car's power was extraordinary. In the Tang dynasty, it was an invincible tank. Even in the future, it was a civilian version of self-propelled artillery. In many backward and war-torn areas, this kind of strange weapon often appeared.
"Your Majesty, your humble servant has newly developed an armored gun car. The diagram and model are here. Your Majesty, please take a look."
In order to meet the emperor, Ang Lee had already drawn the diagram of the armored gun car. Moreover, the three views and the overall picture were all very well drawn. In addition, he also asked the carpenter to build a small model of the armored gun car.
