After leaving the palace, Song Huan headed west and went straight to the steel mill in the western suburbs.
The parts Liu Qing was asked to find last time were still mismatched in several places.
It was too troublesome for Song Huan to describe it, so it would be much more convenient to simply come and find it in person.
Before Song Huan got off his horse, he heard the neat and powerful chants of workers coming from the steelmaking plant.
"We - the workers - have - the power!"
"Hey!"
“We workers have the power!”
“Every day—and every night—is busy at work!”
"Hey!"
"Busy at work every day and every night!"
"..."
Listening to that uniform voice, Song Huan couldn't help but feel his blood surge.
I have to say that this steelmaking plant is developing more and more decently.
Compared with ordinary workshops, not only does it occupy a larger area and have more workers, but even the production lines are closer to modernity.
I believe it won’t be long before the second Bianjing Steel Plant will be opened...
Song Huan was lost in thought when he heard a very excited voice coming from the side.
"Your Highness!"
"Is it really you, Your Highness?"
"I'm not blinded!"
Before Song Huan could see clearly who the person who spoke was, he felt a whirlwind blowing around him, like a figure running over quickly, circling around him.
"Your Highness, it's really you!"
"How long has it been since I last saw you?"
"I didn't expect you to be released so soon..."
"Bah, bah, bah! No, no! Where have you been imprisoned?"
"Look, I'm so excited that I'm incoherent and can't even speak clearly..."
Song Huan felt that his ears were so annoyed that he was about to be deafened by the noisy voice.
"Stop...stop!"
"Liu Qing, stop turning around!"
"Turning around a few more times, my head will be turned upside down by you!"
I don’t know where Liu Qing learned this habit, he would circle around people when he gets excited!
It's like a top and can't stop!
Hearing Song Huan's words, Liu Qing smiled "hehe" and stopped.
"Your Highness, I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm so excited!"
After not seeing each other for a few days, Liu Qing became darker and thinner.
I guess I spent every day in the steel mill, so I was very active, so I naturally lost weight.
Song Huan opened his mouth and asked, "Have you had any problems recently?"
Liu Qing smiled and waved his hand: "What's the problem?"
"Your Highness, don't worry, there won't be any problems!"
"Since Your Highness proposed the new process, the craftsmen have become more and more efficient!"
“The steel produced now is almost zero waste!”
Song Huan was very satisfied: "That's good."
"It just so happens that I still need to make some steel materials with special shapes."
"is that OK?"
"No problem!" Liu Qing immediately patted his chest, "Of course it's no problem!"
"Your Highness, please wait a moment. I'll call the foreman over here!"
Liu Qing quickly ran into the factory, and soon returned with a lean middle-aged man.
"Your Highness, this is Xu Mancang, the foreman of the steel mill!"
"Master Xu is one of the most famous craftsmen in Bianjing City. The sword used by the Holy Emperor to accompany the late emperor on the expedition was forged by Master Xu's master."
Although these words are difficult to pronounce, one can tell that Master Xu has a high background.
Xu Mancang saluted Song Huan: "I pay my respects to Prince Rong!"
Song Huan smiled and said: "Master Xu, thank you for your hard work!"
"I want to make some special-shaped parts. I wonder if it can be realized?"
Xu Mancang was a little surprised. He didn't expect Prince Tangtang Rong to be so polite to a blacksmith like him!
"Your Highness, you are too polite!"
"As long as it's your order, even if I break my head, I will definitely give His Highness a satisfactory answer!"
Song Huan smiled and said, "That's not necessary."
With that said, Song Huan took out a drawing and showed it to Xu Mancang.
The three-dimensional view of the parts is drawn in detail above, and the dimensions are marked.
After seeing it, Xu Mancang couldn't help but was speechless!
"Professional...so professional!"
"Your Highness, your drawings are really professional and fastidious!"
"Succinct and clear, you can see it clearly at a glance!"
Could it be that Prince Rong is also a member of the same group, and when he has nothing to do on weekdays, he likes to study woodworking and iron tools?
Song Huan smiled and said nothing. As a qualified engineering student, this is the most basic skill.
"Master Xu, can these parts be produced?"
After Xu Mancang looked at the dimensions of the parts one by one, he replied to Song Huan: "Your Highness, these parts have special shapes and sizes and require separate molds."
"Although it can be built, it just takes a little longer."
"Probably, it will take five days!"
Song Huan nodded: "It doesn't matter, I'm not in a hurry."
"As long as you can fight it!"
Seeing Song Huan's gentle and elegant appearance, Xu Mancang couldn't help but marvel in his heart.
Be good!
Our high-ranking prince is so polite to a craftsman like us!
Even though I have superb skills, I have never enjoyed such treatment in front of those officials!
Since it is a task assigned to us by Prince Rong, we must do our best to complete this task well!
After Xu Mancang left, Song Huan raised his head to estimate the time, and said to Liu Qing, "It's almost dinner time."
"I know that you love to eat good food."
"Let's go, Changchunfang, I'm treating you to a treat!"
"I'll make you feel full!"
I thought Liu Qing would be very excited, but I didn't expect this kid to smile mysteriously.
"Your Highness, you don't know this!"
"We have noodles in our steelmaking factory, and someone will deliver food at noon!"
Song Huan: "..."
Liu Qing is really smart and can learn everything quickly.
I once said "there is a plan", but I didn't expect this guy to learn it immediately!
However, Liu Qing's words still aroused Song Huan's curiosity.
"Sending food?"
"Who will deliver the food?"
Just as Liu Qing was about to open his mouth, he saw a carriage approaching slowly in the distance, and he immediately beamed.
"look!"
"Your Highness, lunch is here!"
Song Huan looked in the direction of Liu Qing's finger and saw a carriage slowly driving towards the steel plant.
Although the distance was still quite far, Song Huan still found out why the carriage looked so familiar...
In the blink of an eye, the carriage was firmly in front of Song Huan.
Liu Qing greeted the coachman enthusiastically: "Uncle Deng, you are here!"
"What's the dish today?"
Uncle Deng grinned: "Today we have white meat with garlic paste, mushrooms and cabbage, sweet and sour chicken nuggets, and first-grade tofu."
After hearing this, Song Huan couldn't help but be a little surprised.
These dishes are considered tough among the public!
There are more than fifty workers in the steelmaking plant, which is not a small number.
Cooking according to this amount will cost a lot of money!
Liu Qing had empty pockets and did not have the strength to do this.
Who would be the one who took the initiative to contract the food?
Just as Song Huan was about to ask, he heard a very familiar and sweet female voice coming from the carriage.
"Uncle Deng, you missed one dish of mullet egg soup!"
