Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

"If it is a large bridge like Zhaozhou Bridge, it will be difficult to build, and it may take several months!"

"for how long?"

Ying Zheng was taken aback, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

"Several months!"

"A few months? It's impossible!"

Ying Zheng pointed to the Zhaozhou Bridge in the picture. According to this scale, it would take several years at the earliest for Daqin to spend a lot of manpower.

"If the original casting method is used, of course it will take a lot of time. It will take a long time to prepare the materials, but we can replace the original stone bricks with concrete and steel bars, which will not only be more durable, but also greatly speed up the process. schedule."

"And what are concrete and rebar?"

"Concrete is a material made of sand and cement. It is similar to soil, but it is very hard after it dries."

"What about the steel bars?"

"Reinforcement bars are forged steel alloys into long strips one by one, and then inserted into the concrete to play a fixed role."

"I see!"

Ying Zheng understood, but he didn't have the concrete and steel bars, so it seemed that he could only ask Zhao Che for help.

"Although I have concrete and steel bars, I don't have the relevant technicians on hand now. Casting a bridge from drawing to completion requires a lot of involvement. Unless I do it myself, I don't want to think about building a bridge for the time being." .”

Zhao Che saw what Ying Zheng wanted to say at a glance, and canceled his plan in advance.

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng showed disappointment.

He was really envious of this bridge-building technique, but unfortunately, just like Zhao Che said, he would never be able to learn this technique for a while.

"Forget it, let's eat, I just made a delicacy for you to try today!"

Zhao Che dragged Ying Zheng out. The bridge will be built sooner or later, so there is no need to rush it.

"Xiao Niu, how is the tofu grinding?"

"Brother Che, the kitchen has already been finished, and it is exactly the same as what you made before!"

"That's right, let's eat tofu and steamed stuffed buns this morning!"

Zhao Che said casually, beckoning Ying Zheng to the restaurant.

"What is tofu? What is tofu brain? Why do you want to eat this tofu brain?"

Ying Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but feel a chill when he heard the word brain.

"It's not brains, it's tofu brain, also known as bean curd, which is a by-product of tofu."

"What product?"

Faced with so many doubts from Ying Zheng, Zhao Che didn't want to explain anymore, and it would be natural for him to see it with his own eyes later.

The three of them had just arrived at the restaurant and sat down when a servant came in with three bowls of steaming tofu.

"This is tofu nao, add some vinegar and some spicy oil, it's delicious!"

Zhao Che picked up the seasoning on the table and added some to his bowl.

Ying Zheng followed suit, and soon a bowl of red bean curd would be enough.

"Young master, Baozi is here!"

At this time, the servant came in with a plate of steaming steamed buns and put them on the table.

"Isn't this steamed bun? When did it change its name to Baozi?"

Ying Zheng glanced at it, and it was clearly the same as the white flour steamed bun that Zhao Che made, except that there were some wrinkles on it.

"It's not steamed buns, but two are about the same. Steamed buns are actually steamed buns with fillings, you'll know when you try it!"

Zhao Che picked one up casually, took a bite, and immediately revealed the stuffing inside, which was stuffed with potatoes and tofu.

The potatoes are soft and sweet, and the tofu is tender and smooth. The two are mixed together to complement each other.

"Huh? This is really not a steamed bun?"

Ying Zheng also picked up one and took a bite, it was also stuffed with potatoes.

"Add some sauce to make it more delicious!"

Zhao Che picked up the small bowl of prepared sauce, scooped a spoonful into the steamed stuffed bun, and took a big bite.

"The tofu nao and steamed stuffed buns are really delicious. You can teach me how to make them later, and I'll let my cooks learn how to cook them when I go back."

Yingzheng was attracted by the deliciousness of steamed stuffed buns and tofu nao. It was so delicious to have such a steaming breakfast on this winter morning.

"No problem, it's not a secret anyway, I plan to hand it over to the heads of Guizhou in Zhuangzi, so that they can go to Xianyang to open a few breakfast restaurants after learning it."

"Oh? That's a good idea, just tell me if you need help!"

Ying Zheng readily agreed, and let Zhao Che make trouble. It's not a big deal anyway.

Soon, after breakfast, the three of them sat down to drink tea again.

"By the way, Che'er, I came here yesterday to tell you good news."

"What good news?"

"It's the shampoo you made before. After I went back, people have learned how to make that kind of thing, and I have also established a factory to produce that shampoo. Now it is selling like crazy in Xianyang City!"

"So fast?"

Zhao Che was startled by Ying Zheng's speed. It took only a few days to achieve this step, which was indeed beyond his expectation.

"Cheer, the way you proposed to build a factory is indeed a great thing that benefits the country and the people. Originally, it was the cold winter, and the Guizhou chiefs had no work in the fields, so naturally they lost their income. Now that there is a factory, They have an extra job to make a living, but unfortunately the scale of the factory is still too small."

Ying Zheng sighed, the only pity is that the scale of the factory is still not big enough, a few hundred people is enough.

But throughout Xianyang, there are more than 10 poor Qianshou, let alone the whole country.

"If the factory is small, let's expand it."

"But the output of shampoo is enough. Although the sales volume of this product is good, it will eventually stabilize. Isn't the extra people wasted?"

"Then build other types of factories, food, clothing, housing and transportation, all aspects are fine."

"Do you have anything else like shampoo?"

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, and he asked a question.

"Of course there are. The things in my grocery store can be taken out and mass-produced casually, can't they be popular in Daqin?"

"Yes, why don't you hurry up and give me the manufacturing technology of those things?"

"Don't worry, I have the most suitable one here. It is not only a consumable, but it is guaranteed to sell well!"

"what?"

“Instant noodles!”

"Instant noodles? Are they noodles?"

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment. Aren't noodles food?Is it possible to build a factory?

"That's right, instant noodles are noodles, but unlike ordinary noodles, this kind of noodles can be taken with you, and when you eat it, you only need to soak it in hot water, and you can eat it in 3 minutes."
