Chapter 1939 Egret Feather II
Chapter 1941 Egret Feather (4)
Farron's perfume studio is like an alchemist's laboratory, with many kinds of equipment inside.
Asking him to make "cocktail milk tea" for the women is really overkill. Fortunately, these wealthy women have domestic servants and cooks. With their help, this "tea party" will be more impressive.
At first, they were actually drinking tea. British milk tea is simply milk, black tea and sugar. The tea flavor of this milk tea must be strong. Later, they added spices such as star anise to the tea, which became another popular drink in India.
Popular Masala Tea.
Then someone added raspberry jam, maple syrup, cocoa, vanilla, peanut butter and caramel, and someone added lemon cream cheese, which at first glance looked a lot like butterbeer.
The intake of sugar can really make people excited. Later, they actually mixed brandy into the milk tea. The archbishop who had agreed to use tea instead of wine pretended not to notice, and went to the side with Mr. Martin to admire the flowers in Southeast Asia. Then they
Then he started to act recklessly and mixed Brittany cider into the chocolate.
The children were playing trick-or-treating at night. The mothers seemed to have started playing trick-or-treating during the day. Georgiana took a cup of milk tea with apple cider and found a corner to drink. She knew that some occasions required seriousness, but that was not her
style, which makes her feel uncomfortable and others feel uncomfortable as well.
But it was a sin to drink in a monastery. She pretended to repent for two seconds and then tore off the decorative Siamese cloth.
At first, people didn't know what she was going to do. When they saw her making a pillow out of the torn fabric and then sitting on it, they all realized that these women's families were engaged in fabric business, and soon someone filled the pillow with feathers.
I brought Suiko's pillow over and a room full of women sat on the floor.
Others were very rude and directly put their own products in front of Georgiana to sell, including gloves, handkerchiefs, curtain cloths, etc. Georgiana was not polite either. Now she no longer wanted to think about it, and directly instructed the maid to choose what she liked.
Yeah, as for who pays the bill, who cares.
In fact, the British did not suffer a loss. In 1801, London wanted to expand the Old London Bridge, which was increasingly unable to meet the needs of the capital. Building an iron bridge would not shake public perception, but letting iron ships float on the water would go against common sense.
, but the steel strength required to repair such an iron ship cannot be achieved by current technology.
When the age of steel began, so did the age of roaring machines. The British steel industry is still in its infancy and has not yet formed a dominant position recognized in Europe. There was once a factory owner who gave Georgiana a British landscape painting.
The factory was on the verge of bankruptcy because of a broken capital chain.
Selling patents is the most helpless way, but the demand for steel is also adjusted according to the relationship between supply and demand, just like the increase in demand for cotton in Europe, and the expansion of cotton planting in the New World.
If the supply exceeds the demand, production will be expanded, and if the quantity is large and the supply exceeds the demand, the price will be reduced. Although in theory, the fabrics with good craftsmanship are light and strong, there are also thin and weak ones. Just like Brittany's calmness at this moment, she still remembers that not long ago, this place was always available.
There is a danger of civil war.
This is the key point, to avoid the outbreak of civil war again, and to ensure the livelihood of farmers, which is not only their own income. If France’s grain yield per acre is not increased, even if it develops industry, France will not be able to rely on a small agricultural population like the United Kingdom.
If there are so many workers who are not engaged in agriculture, then what happened in 1789 will happen again. Compared to engaging in industry, Georgiana feels that she is better at being a "breeder". This time transporting grain from Spain, Rouen's shipping company
A lot of effort was put into it.
Naturally, the navy is indispensable for sea transportation. Putting this aside for now, if Brittany's cider and meat can be transported inland, it can also increase income.
At present, French farmers still mainly use cattle for farming, and there are very few dairy cows. Anyway, the dairy products are much less than those in the UK. Now the condensed milk she adds to her milk tea is produced in the UK.
She didn't want to think about the overly complicated problem now. After everyone found a comfortable position and sat down, she asked if anyone sitting there knew how to play the flute.
"I will!" said Leoncourt's granddaughter Alice.
"Play a tune," said Georgiana.
I want to enjoy the afternoon of the faun.
She said in her heart, but did not say it out loud. At this time, a clever servant had left the synagogue and went to get the flute. Before he came back, Georgiana looked at the lazy women. They didn't look like they had the oil painting "Gothic".
"The kind of seriousness.
"I hate being treated as a guest." Georgiana said, "This is French land, and every Frenchman is the owner of this land."
"But you are not French," said a woman, whom Georgiana remembered as one of those who at first dismissed her style.
"What's your name?" Georgiana asked.
"Jeanne." The woman with chestnut hair said provocatively, "Jeanne Dussel."
Georgiana felt that her low and hoarse voice had a strange magic power, but she soon sobered up.
"There are many British people who admire the changes that the revolution brought to Europe."
Jeanne seemed to have discovered something interesting and smiled strangely at Georgiana.
"How do you define happiness?" Georgiana asked everyone.
The women looked at me and me, but they didn't answer.
"Nature has given us an emotion, but it does not mean that it must be reasonable, or in line with men's logic. We have feelings, and usually it is like sleeping, and we need to be awakened before we can feel it. I think this
Happiness does not mean a carnival life, although I had a great time just now, ladies." Georgiana raised her glass to everyone, and others also raised their glasses.
"Do you believe that someone can drink 12 cups of coffee a day?" Georgiana asked.
The women started looking at each other again.
"I have seen the Crown Princess's accounts, which were shown to me by the First Consul. A servant of the Crown Princess recorded this when reporting the accounts."
"This doesn't make sense," another woman said.
"How do you feel?" Georgiana asked.
"She was fooled," the woman said.
"The Crown Princess likes games, parties and all kinds of celebrations, which leaves her no time to manage these accounts, and she also has no time to care about the lives of the citizens, so that interesting story spreads."
"She should spend more time doing real things." Jeanne Dussel said.
"What do you think is business?" asked Georgiana.
"Run a factory," said a businesswoman.
"Manage the accounts," the other woman said.
"Anything else?" Georgiana asked.
"Catch the cat that steals fish."
As soon as he said this, everyone laughed.
"I think it is to let everyone have enough to eat, warm clothes to wear, and a house to shelter from the wind and rain. Thank you for your contribution to France last time. The food you brought by ship has helped a lot of people."
People are saved from starvation.”
The women looked at each other and smiled this time.
"You have done something commendable, so that Paris did not have riots due to famine like in the past. Peace, justice and order are what I hope to bring. Of course, there is also equality. You don't need to pretend to flatter me. I feel it.
, you want to make me happy, but I am not a woman from Versailles, I need to be praised all day long to find confidence."
"Then what do you think makes you confident?" Jeanne asked.
"Choose." Georgiana said with a smile.
Now the women seemed to have different opinions and started talking in low voices. Georgiana drank milk tea and said whatever they wanted.
She looked out at the sky where the fog had dispersed, and seemed to see a carriage pulled by Pegasus. In the carriage sat little French wizards wearing thin silks. Their clothes could not protect against the cold in Scotland.
However, there is a girl in this group of people. She is the crush of all the boys in the school. She is the one who chooses one of them. She is not dressing up like Cinderella and waiting to be chosen by the prince.
This is the freedom she understands and the reason why women feel happy when shopping.
They are the ones who choose those dazzling products. The reason they feel so bad during the interview is because the interviewers are waiting to be shortlisted.
If she were Cinderella, she would not feel happy because she was chosen by the prince, she would even feel ecstatic
Although her life here was not satisfactory, she would not take the initiative to go back if Severus did not come to see her.
He must pursue her, of course many people will say she is not worth it, so let him do whatever he wants!
There is a lion here who is willing to make such a big change for her, which is already amazing, and he also takes a lot of risks.
Even if it is a dream, it is what he wants to do, and some people will definitely think that he has harmed the interests of France.
Engaging in technical espionage is not that simple and requires a shrewd mind. When the ice freezes the rivers, when the wind no longer blows, and water-powered and windmill mills cannot be used, steam engine-driven mills will be an alternative.
After the wheat is threshed, it must be ground into flour to make bread. Anyway, Georgiana had never thought that the steam engine could grind flour. She thought it could drive trains and textile machines.
Those spies who went to England with the tourists didn't know what they would bring back. I hope they wouldn't just watch it for a while and finally return empty-handed.
