Chapter 292 Are you trying to mess with us?
On this day, Shi Qingluo took Qingqing out to have dinner with Xi Rui and others.
Xiao Hanzheng followed Mr. Hou out.
When she arrived, several people had already arrived.
What surprised her was that Qi Yiyang was also there.
Xi Rui took the initiative to pull out a chair for Shi Qingluo with a smile, "Qingluo, sit down."
Shi Qingluo raised his eyebrows and said jokingly: "If you show courtesy for nothing, you are either cheating or stealing. Is this the Hongmen Banquet?"
Xi Rui smiled and said, "What are you talking about? I admire you."
Liang Youxiao teased, "Do we dare to give you a Hongmen Banquet? If we do it today, we might be sent to Northern Xinjiang tomorrow."
Shi Qingluo wanted to hold his forehead, but everyone seemed to think that she was the one responsible for the scumbag father's departure. She was really taking the blame for this.
She said angrily: "Thank you so much for thinking so highly of me."
Liang Youxiao came over and said, "Qing Luo, what recipe did you offer this time?"
They were really curious about this.
In fact, it was not just them who were curious, but everyone around them was also curious, and the emperor didn't say anything about it.
No, they met Qi Yiyang on the way here.
This guy heard that they were coming to have dinner with Shi Qingluo, so he shamelessly followed them.
I just want to know what recipe Shi Qingluo offered.
Shi Qingluo knew this was the case.
She didn't hide it either, "Rubber prescription."
After telling the emperor about the recipe, she tentatively asked the emperor if she could share the recipe.
Then, could some of her friends also go find the rubber trees and cut tape for use?
The emperor agreed, so she had no scruples.
Liang Youxiao and others all looked curious, "What is rubber?"
It was made by Shi Qingluo, and it will definitely not be bad.
Shi Qingluo replied: "It can be used as shoe soles, it's okay..."
He gave a general explanation of the purpose of telling the emperor.
"By the way, when the rubber comes out, I can also make a car that I can ride alone, which is more convenient than a scooter."
We already have scooters, but bicycles are also indispensable.
There was no rubber before, but now you can get bicycle tires out and tinker with them.
When several people heard her words, their eyes lit up, "This relationship is so good!"
Xi Rui asked: "How to get this rubber? Have you got it out?"
He has always loved skateboarding, but now it often snows and he cannot play, otherwise he would always skateboard when he goes out for a walk.
Now I am also very interested in rideable bikes.
Shi Qing said: "No, rubber needs to be cut from rubber trees. This kind of tree needs to be grown in a very hot place."
"The emperor has sent people to find rubber trees and tap them."
Xi Rui was a little disappointed, "That's it, then won't it take a long time for us to be able to use this kind of rubber?"
It's not easy for them to make decisions about the emperor's things.
It won't be long before it falls into their hands.
Shi Qingluo said with a smile: "If you are interested, you can also ask people to find rubber, then hire local people to tap the rubber and bring it back for use."
"I will draw the appearance, characteristics, and habits of the rubber tree and let your family members find it. It shouldn't be difficult."
Shi Qingluo felt that the emperor agreed with her statement, maybe because he wanted to get the rubber out and popularize it as soon as possible.
After all, there is strength in numbers. If Xi Rui and other families also participate, the amount of glue produced will be doubled.
After several contacts, she discovered that the emperor was an old fox.
But he is not the kind of person who is annoying and scheming. It can be seen that the emperor really wants to develop the country and let the people live a good life. He is a wise king.
Hearing her words, Xi Rui and others' eyes lit up.
"Really? Can we do it at home?"
Shi Qingluo nodded, "Well, I have asked the emperor for permission before, saying that I would like a few friends to play with rubber together, and the emperor agreed."
"Qing Luo, you are so kind."
"Qing Luo, we are friends enough."
Several people praised him one after another, thinking so in their hearts.
Shi Qingluo was really loyal to his friends, and when he got good things, he didn't forget to share them with them.
Shi Qingluo chuckled and said: "That's right, of course I have to share the good things with you. If we have money, we will make it together, and if we have the limelight, we will share it together."
"That's right, let's share the limelight together!" This is what Xi Rui and the others like the most.
Liang Youxiao hurriedly asked his personal attendant to bring over the Four Treasures of the Study and asked Shi Qingluo to draw the rubber tree.
Shi Qingluo not only painted rubber trees, but also eucommia and guayule.
Eucommia ulmoides and guayule can also extract rubber, and guayule is one of the three major rubber-producing plants in the world.
Because she was suddenly announced to the palace that day, she was not fully prepared, so she only gave the emperor a rubber tree.
Later, when she went back, she remembered that gum could also be extracted from guayule and eucommia ulmoides.
Moreover, these two plants are not as troublesome to plant as rubber trees.
There is absolutely no problem in planting on a large scale in a place with a more suitable climate.
It can also be brought back to open up wasteland for planting. Guayule has strong adaptability.
However, it will also have an impact, but she also wrote down how to prevent and control it.
And the day before yesterday, I gave it to my young husband and asked Mr. Hou to send it to the palace.
In other words, the emperor could ask people to search for three kinds of plants that can produce glue at the same time.
It's not far away from the time when rubber is widely spread on the beams.
Because she sent it to the emperor in advance, she painted it for Xi Rui and others, so that they could follow the emperor's footsteps, make a lot of money, and be in the limelight.
After all, rubber has just been invented. In the first few years, it must have been a scarce commodity, with demand exceeding supply.
She then said to several people: "By the way, these two plants can also produce glue. You can also ask your family to find them together."
"If you find it, you can plant it locally, or transport the seedlings and seeds back and open up special barren hills and wasteland for planting."
"If it is done, I will definitely make a lot of money in the future."
The eyes of Xi Rui and others brightened again, "This relationship is so good!"
"Qing Luo, you are such a good friend."
Who would think that there is too much money? It is still such a limelight thing.
Liang Youxiao, in particular, not only thought that rubber could make money, but also thought about following Shi Qingluo in tinkering with things made of rubber.
Xi Rong wants to form a women's army. She is short of money and very excited.
She and Shi Qingluo's rouge shop has opened to the south of the Yangtze River, with dozens of stores.
The money earned every month was quite a lot, but it was still not enough to maintain an army.
Now go get a few more manors and plant the plants Qing Luo mentioned when you plant them. All of them together should be enough in the future.
Qi Yiyang saw the excitement of several people.
I also feel very itchy.
I couldn't help but ask: "Qing Luo, we are now friends, can I follow along and do it together?"
I really didn't expect that I would get such news if I followed here so shamelessly.
He had some regrets before, but now he is glad that he has become thicker-skinned.
Before Shi Qingluo could say anything, Xi Rui raised his eyebrows first and said, "Why, Mr. Qi, are you trying to mess with us?"
