The young man surnamed Deng next to him shook his head and said: "It's not in vain, you are really powerful. Of all the things you make, I have only figured out how to make cement. And I used your cement to figure out the ingredients. For someone like you, it's unbelievable.
I can only describe your creativity as a genius."
Fang Xiaoyu cupped his hands: "Brother Deng is too flattering to me." Wu Feng next to him shook his head and said: "It's not an exaggeration at all. I also envy the Fang family shop for having so many special products. With so many special products, along with their
Other goods are selling much better. It can be said that with Master Fang, the Fang family's shop can make several times more money."
Seeing Fang Xiaoyu being so polite, Wu Yu softened his words: "This matter is indeed our fault. If Master Fang wants to deal with us, we have nothing to say." Fang Xiaoyu waved his hand and said: "In this case, don't mention it again.
We are strangers to each other. I heard what you said just now, and it seems that you had some unspeakable secret that forced you to sell those cements. Can you tell me about it?"
Wu Feng sighed and said: "If Master Fang doesn't mind, you can come with us to have a look." Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "It's okay to have a look." Tobol felt that following these strangers would be detrimental to Fang Xiaoyu's safety, but he
As a man who had served as a marshal, he was very good at observing people's actions. Seeing that Fang Xiaoyu was trying to recruit these people, he didn't dare to stop them. He just asked his men to cheer up and strictly protect Fang Xiaoyu's safety.
The Wu brothers closed the shop and together with the man surnamed Deng took Fang Xiaoyu and a group of iron-blooded guards to the slums in the west of the city. Xiaoyu was walking on the road with nothing to do, and turned around and asked: "Brother Deng, you and Wu
How did the brothers meet?"
The man surnamed Deng said: "I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Deng Jiaxiang. I am from Donghai County, and I am from the same hometown as the Wu brothers. I have five sworn brothers, among whom the eldest brother and the Wu brothers grew up together. The six of us have
The brothers went to school together, but later they had no interest in officialdom, so we met to go out and have a career. When the Wu brothers found out, they agreed very much and even provided money to support us."
"Where have you been?" Fang Xiaoyu asked with interest. Deng Jiaxiang said with a smile: "We took a boat to the New World, and then moved to the Western Continent, where we discovered a lot of new knowledge that we had never heard of, so we six
My brother worked there to earn money and studied at the same time. He has lived there for six years and just returned to the capital last year."
Fang Xiaoyu said in surprise: "You have been studying in the Western Continent for six years?" Fang Xiaoyu was secretly surprised, "Hey, obediently, you have been working and studying in the Western Continent for six years, so aren't you returnees from overseas? You may have found a treasure this time."
Fang Xiaoyu said in surprise: "Why don't you join the government after you have returned from school? Instead, you live in the slums." Deng Jiaxiang said angrily: "Of course we want to serve the government, but when we presented the steam engine model we made to the Ministry of Industry,
They actually said that it was just a child's toy, and its actual manufacture required skilled craftsmen."
"Steam engine?" Fang Xiaoyu was surprised again: "Is it a reciprocating steam engine?" "Huh? Do you also know about reciprocating steam engines?" Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "Of course I do, I have been looking for talents in this field, and I didn't expect to meet him here by chance.
I met him, I wonder if Brother Deng is willing to help me."
"Help you?" Deng Jiaxiang said with a smile: "Of course I am willing. You are the one that my brothers respect the most. If you are willing, they will be happy to follow you." Fang Xiaoyu secretly smiled, this is the star effect, it seems that his reputation is still there
Not bad, I have gained some fans so quickly, especially those with technical talents.
They chatted and soon arrived at the slums. The Wu brothers led the way. They passed through several narrow alleys and finally came to the door of a large courtyard. Wu Yu stepped forward and patted the door. The door opened a small crack, and a
The girl poked her head out, and after seeing the person clearly, she smiled and said, "Uncle Wu, you are back."
Wu Yu said: "Xiaofeng, everyone is here." Xiaofeng nodded: "Everyone is here, I wonder if these people are..." Xiaofeng saw so many people behind, especially the gorgeously dressed Fang Xiaoyu and those with guns and ammunition behind.
The soldier looked a little panicked after that, with a slight hesitation on his face. Wu Feng stepped forward and said: "It doesn't matter, we are all friends." It seemed that the little girl still trusted Wu Feng very much. After hearing what he said, Xiaofeng nodded happily.
Opened the door completely.
Fang Xiaoyu asked the Jagged Guards to wait at the door, and only took Tobol and a few others into the courtyard. This is the most common compound in the capital. The courtyard is surrounded by low buildings, many of which have no windows.
, it can only be blocked by wooden boards, the roof is covered with straw, and there are several earthen stoves in the corner of the yard. Some elderly women are cooking there, and the thick smoke from the stoves makes them cough.
Wu Yu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Grandma Wu, Grandma Zhang, why did you come out to work again? The meal can wait until we come back." An old lady with red eyes stood up slowly and said, "We are not old yet.
I can't move, so I have to wait for you all the time."
Fang Xiaoyu knew from their words that they were not relatives. He asked Deng Jiaxiang next to him: "Are these old people adopted by you?" Deng Jiaxiang nodded: "There are more than 20 old people and more than 50 children here, most of them are
We picked it up. It’s a pity that our brothers don’t have the ability to make money. The most we can do is teach the children how to read. It’s all up to the Wu brothers to make money to support them. If it weren’t for the lack of liquidity in their store last time, they really wouldn’t have the money to buy anything.
We won’t take the risk of selling food to the cement I made crudely.”
Fang Xiaoyu nodded and stepped forward to support the old lady and said, "Hello, Grandma Wu." Grandma Wu's eyes were a little dim and she didn't see clearly the gorgeous clothes on Fang Xiaoyu's body. She also said that Fang Xiaoyu was also an orphan who was picked up. She hugged Fang Xiaoyu.
She held him in her arms and said softly: "Whose boy is this? It was picked up by Xiao Wu, I guess. Don't be afraid, kid. You will be home when you get to grandma's place."
Seeing Grandma Wu's actions, the Wu brothers were startled. Wu Yu was afraid that Fang Xiaoyu would be angry, so he said anxiously from the side: "Grandma Wu, this is our distinguished guest, not a picked-up child." Grandma Wu heard this.
Yu murmured: "Really? I'm really sorry." Then she let go of Fang Xiaoyu's body.
Fang Xiaoyu slowly stood up and said with a smile: "It's okay, Grandma Wu, we don't have to cook today, I'll treat you to something good." After that, he asked a few guards to go to the McDonald's fast food restaurant to order more food. When he saw
Fang Xiaoyu didn't take it at all, and the Wu brothers were obviously relieved.
Fang Xiaoyu did not rely on others, and personally helped Grandma Wu back to the room. He raised his eyes and found that there was nothing else in the room except a row of earthen beds against the wall. There was not even a chair, only a table beside the wall.
There was a pile of large porcelain bowls, and a pile of torn cotton wool piled in the corner of the earth kang. It seemed that this was their quilt at night.
Seeing Fang Xiaoyu helping Grandma Wu back into the house, Wu Feng hurried over and said, "Master Fang, you see there's not even a place to sit here." Fang Xiaoyu interrupted him and said, "It's nothing, it's the same wherever you sit." After that, he said
My buttocks were sitting on the edge of the Tukang.
At this moment, Deng Jiaxiang, who had been missing since entering the yard, came over with a few adults, followed by many children watching the fun. He pointed at Fang Xiaoyu and said: "Brothers, look, this
This is the Young Master Fang that you have been talking about all day long." One of them hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "I didn't expect that Young Master Fang, who is famous all over the capital, is so young, and I have admired him for a long time." The other one said, "Such a young man.
With such achievements at such a young age, he is indeed the person I admire the most.”
Deng Jiaxiang smiled and said to Fang Xiaoyu: "My brothers are like this, they talk without restraint." Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "It's nothing. I like to get close to straight-tempered people. Brother Deng, won't you introduce some of them?"
"
Only then did Deng Jiaxiang remember that he had not come yet and needed to be introduced urgently. He pointed to a few people and introduced: "This is my eldest brother Feng Jingru, second brother Zhu Lizhen, fourth brother Qian Huilin, fifth brother Qian Huiqiang and sixth brother Li Zhonggong."
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "I wonder what you all study?"
Li Zhonggong said in surprise: "Master Fang also knows that the Western Continent is divided into disciplines? Have you also studied in the Western Continent? It's not like that, you are so young." Fang Xiaoyu said: "I am planning to go to the Western Continent to see
Look, but I haven’t been there yet.” Feng Jingru raised his hands and said, “Let me tell you. My sixth brother and I studied mechanics, my second brother studied agriculture, my third brother studied chemistry, and my fourth brother studied shipbuilding.
"My fifth brother is studying engineering construction." Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "It is the empire's loss if we don't have these few. I wonder if you are willing to help me."
