Chapter 577
Once the cement is burned, we can build dormitories, factory buildings, and a cement road for easy transportation. Perfect!
When Xie Xiu heard her say that cement would be as hard as stone after solidifying and drying, his heart began to beat wildly again.
Why would such a good thing be used to build staff dormitories? Of course, it should be used to reinforce the city walls!
Xie Xiu quickly thought of the coking coal that Xie Ying had mentioned before.
If cement is so useful, what about coking coal? Can it be used to make iron and steel?
He clearly remembered that it was written in the book that the iron smelted from coal was of very poor quality.
Is this coking coal different from regular coal? Is it made by burning the coal?
Xie Xiu quickly asked the question in his mind: "What is coking coal?"
Xie Ying was stunned by the question. She didn't study coal chemistry, so how could she know what coking coal was? She just knew it existed.
But if she said she didn't know, she would feel embarrassed.
So Xie Ying deliberately yawned, pretending to be very sleepy: [I'm so sleepy, I need to take a nap first, I'm so tired.]
After saying that, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Xie Xiu: “…”
Why does he feel that Yingying herself doesn't understand?
Xie Xiu felt that Xie Ying did it on purpose.
But he didn't expose it.
What Xie Ying just said was too shocking, he needed to slow down.
Besides, this girl has a bad temper. What if we find out that she is pretending to be asleep and she starts talking nonsense?
When Xie Xiu thought of the things Xie Ying had said deliberately before, his handsome face couldn't help but turn red.
He thought about it, put Xie Ying on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and then went out to find Tu Jiaojiao.
Tu Jiaojiao stood outside, looking towards the door to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.
She also tried to prick up her ears, wanting to listen to the movement inside, but unfortunately Xie Xiu deliberately lowered his voice, and she could not hear Xie Ying's thoughts. In the end, her ears pricked up in vain.
Seeing Xie Xiu coming out, she immediately walked over and asked quietly, "Why are you alone? Where's Yingying?"
"She said she was very sleepy, and then she fell asleep suddenly."
Xie Xiu said somewhat helplessly, then lowered his voice and whispered in Tu Jiaojiao's ear, "Yingying said a lot of useful things, but she only understood half of them. It seems that Situ Yuan knows that this kid's background is probably not ordinary."
Tu Jiaojiao was shocked when she heard this: "Could it be that he has come here to experience tribulation as well? No wonder he was always weak and sickly before."
Xie Xiu thought about the information he had heard before, and felt that Situ Yuan's previous illness might be due to a tribulation.
He said, "Anyway, I want to talk to him."
Tu Jiaojiao naturally had no objection, but she was also worried that Situ Yuan would tell others about Xie Ying.
So next, the couple did their own things while waiting for Situ Yuan to come out of the palace.
Xie Ying originally wanted to pretend to be asleep, but she actually fell asleep while sleeping.
She also had a dream in which she saw all kinds of delicious food, which whetted her appetite and she couldn't wait to have a big meal.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t eat it at all. Instead, the more I looked at it, the hungrier I became.
Then Xie Ying woke up from hunger.
After waking up, she was depressed to find that she was really hungry.
However, what she didn't expect was that the food today was not only rice porridge, but also meat paste.
It's just that the quantity was too small. Xie Ying had only eaten two spoonfuls when Tu Jiaojiao wouldn't let her eat any more. She was so angry that she almost snatched the bowl away!
Unfortunately, Tu Jiaojiao was very alert, as if she was always on guard against her. Xie Ying didn't dare to release Xiangxiang directly, so she could only watch Tu Jiaojiao take away the remaining meat paste.
She decided to secretly treat herself to a snack!
Anyway, she has wood-related abilities, so she doesn't have to worry about indigestion.
The problem is how to get food.
She can't walk yet and can't do anything on her own.
How about asking Situ Yuan for help? Go to the Princess's Mansion for extra meals every day?
Xie Ying's eyes rolled and she quickly started to make a calculation.
In the palace.
"Ah!"
Situ Yuan suddenly sneezed again.
Xie Tang, who was sitting next to him, looked at him worriedly. Even Yang Tao and Jiang Yao at the next table turned their heads and looked at him in surprise.
