Chapter 162: Love in the Ancient Planes The 22-

star Superman Carpenter Shop is now well-known in Kyoto.

The Minister of Industry changed into casual clothes and came in a low-key manner with only an old servant.

He walked around the shop and found a lot of novel gadgets, such as foldable basins, self-heating pots specially prepared for candidates, washing machines, and thermos cups.

The Minister of Industry, who thought he was knowledgeable, became interested for a while and picked up a thermos cup at random.

"This thing is called a thermos cup. How is it different from an ordinary cup?"

"Of course a thermos cup keeps warm. Boiled water can stay warm for 12 hours."

The Minister of Industry put down the cup, pointed at the washing machine and asked, "This thing is called a washing machine. Is it used to wash clothes? How do you use it?"

"Throw the clothes in, pour in the water, add some detergent, and step on this pedal to wash clothes. Pull this switch up to switch to the spin mode, and you can wring the clothes."

The Minister looked skeptical, questioning whether this square box could wash clothes.

And what is detergent? He had never heard of it.

Jiang Lan had to receive several such customers every day, and she was no longer surprised.

She skillfully took out a dark black rag and threw it into the washing machine, adding some Jiang's homemade laundry detergent.

She stomped on it a few times and took the rag out with a pair of tongs.

Then she drained the water and turned on the spin mode, and the whole rag instantly became as bright as new.

"It's so amazing." The eyes of the Minister of Industry lit up a little, "It's a good thing to save manpower. How much does a washing machine cost?"

Jiang Lan said lazily, "Three taels for ordinary wood, five taels for better wood, and ten taels for high-end rosewood."

The Minister of Industry nodded, "Then give me an ordinary wooden washing machine and a thermos cup."

"Thank you for your patronage, a total of eight taels of silver." Jiang Lan said as he picked up a fruit basket from the side and handed it to him.

"Buy 2 get 1 free in our store, and you will get a multifunctional drain basket."

The Minister of Industry nodded, handed the things to the old servant behind him, and pretended to ask casually.

"Young lady, where is the boss of your carpentry shop?"

"I am the boss." Jiang Lan answered calmly, "I don't look like one?"

"Hehe, who made all these things? Can I meet him? To be honest, I am also a craftsman, and I am excited to see the prey and want to exchange ideas."

Knowing that he was a colleague, Jiang Lan's attitude became warm.

"I made it. Are you also a carpenter? When can I see your work?"

The Minister of Industry, who did not have any works at the moment, was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted with a look of shock on his face.

"These were actually made by a young lady like you? Did you also make the wooden ox and horse?"

Why did he not believe it?

Jiang Lan thought he was asking for a job, so he said politely, "I did it. Which carpenter shop are you from? Are you here to take a job?"

"No, no, no, I have something to ask you." The Minister of Works, who had experienced many ups and downs, immediately calmed down. "

To be honest, I am an official of the Ministry of Works. The young lady has such skills and means, which is impressive."

It's a pity that she is a woman. If she were a man, she could be sent to the Ministry of Works as an exception.

"Just say what you want to say. Why are you hesitating

?" "Young lady, can we discuss this wooden ox and flowing horse in private?"

He explained quickly, "I am Li Duanze, the Minister of Works, and I sincerely invite you to go to the Ministry of Works."

The Minister of Works, a second-rank official, a real big shot.

Jiang Lan did not doubt it, and followed him generously.

All the way was smooth, and they came to the hall of the top technicians in ancient times.

The technical geeks in the Ministry of Industry saw their boss bringing a woman back, and they immediately showed gossipy eyes.

You have to know that this is the place where the officials of the Ministry of Industry work, and not everyone can enter.

"This is Madam Jiang, she is the one who made the wooden ox and flowing horse."

Facing the questioning eyes of others, Jiang Lan went straight to the point.

"Don't look at me, if you have any questions, ask me quickly, I'm in a hurry to go back."

The arrogant attitude made a group of grown men very angry.

"In that case, this lady, you can put these things together in front of us."

Jiang Lan didn't say any more nonsense, and squatted on the ground and started to assemble them.

The core of the wooden ox and flowing horse is assembly. Many parts look similar, but the functions are completely different.

So she never worried about being counterfeited. She was confident that no one could do it in a short time except herself.

The parts that had been circulating in the hands of the Ministry of Industry for a few days were unusually obedient in Jiang Lan's hands, and soon a wooden ox and flowing horse were assembled.

"This... I'll try..."

Someone took the lead in riding it, stepping on the pedals and walking around the room with a "click-click-click" sound.

"Amazing, it really works."

"How did you do this?"

"Yes, how did you do this?"

The Minister of Industry coughed dryly and asked in a low voice: "Madam Jiang, can you tell me this?"

"Are you going to buy my patent?"

Brothers should settle accounts clearly. Jiang Lan's current identity is a businessman.

Don't try any moral kidnapping or dedication to the country.

If the court wants to buy it, it's okay. Isn't the money enough?

We can't let the common people's hard-earned innovations be taken away by the government for free.

The Minister of Industry looked embarrassed. He had never thought about this.

If he was a man, he could lobby with the righteousness of patriotism.

But facing a young lady, he seemed a bit aggressive.

"No, no, you officials, you won't take advantage of us ordinary people, right?"

Jiang Lan said in a sinister tone, "Bullying women, you won't do such a shameless thing, right?"

People who wanted to persuade Jiang Lan to be more magnanimous suddenly dared not speak.

This young lady, her mouth seems to be a bit poisonous, I'm scared.

In the end, the Minister of Works could only ask his boss, Emperor Xizheng.

When Jiang Lan came back, she brought the contract signed with the Ministry of Works.

She sold the patent of the wooden ox and flowing horse to the Ministry of Works, which means that she can't sell it anymore in the future.

Of course, whether the carpentry shop is sold or not does not affect her income. After all, as long as the Ministry of Industry sells one machine, she will get a 10% dividend.

Don't underestimate this 10% dividend. The Star Superman Carpentry Shop is only a small business, and the court is much bigger. This wave will definitely make a lot of money.

The wooden ox and the flowing horse are Jiang Lan's test work in Xiguo. She knows very well that the real use of the wooden ox and the flowing horse is in the army.

There are too many rules and regulations in ancient times. If you meet a foolish emperor, doing scientific research will be a disaster.

Only if you meet an enlightened emperor can she continue her scientific research path.

What should I do next?

Jiang Lan touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
