In addition, it is necessary to ensure that the lid of the pot cannot be moved to ensure the tightness of the flat pot. Alcohol is known to be highly volatile and can cause irreparable damage if unprotected liquids are exposed to air.

At this time, the atmosphere of the entire excavation site was quiet and depressing.

I saw Zhong Sheng carefully sweep out the miscellaneous soil, insert the soil under the flat pot with a steel ruler with good toughness, and gently pry the flat pot up to separate it from the nearby soil.

Zhou Changhe, who cooperated next to him, held a well-cut plastic plate, and took advantage of this gap to insert the plastic plate with good hardness and toughness into the gap between the flat pot and the soil. Subsequently, the plastic plate is carefully moved so that it can fully hold the flat pot.

Zhong Sheng pressed one hand on the body of the pot and the other on the lid of the pot, signaling Zhou Changhe to slowly lift the plastic plate. When the flat pot was lifted to a certain height, Li Yuan also saw the stitches, stretched out his hand to firmly support the bottom of the plastic plate, and the three of them put the flat pot into the storage box together.

After such a tense series of operations was completed, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. The extracted pot was then sent by Zhong Sheng to the archaeological laboratory next door, and in a relatively controlled environment, the pot was opened again to determine whether the pot really contained liquid.

At the beginning of the construction of the archaeological site, a temporary archaeological laboratory was preset for the follow-up protection of the unearthed cultural relics.

At this time, in the archaeological laboratory of the Fengli site, Zhong Sheng changed into a white coat, put on disposable gloves and a mask, and carefully opened the lid of the pot after thoroughly cleaning the outside of the flat pot.

Li Yuan, who came up, held up the searchlight and couldn't wait to ask, "How is it......?"

Zhong Sheng put down the lid of the pot in his hand, shook his head gently, and his voice was low, slightly disappointed: "There is only some white sediment at the bottom of the pot. ”

Li Yuan was stunned, and a sense of loss crept up from the bottom of his heart, wanting to comfort him but not knowing what to say, so he stood in place for a long time.

On the contrary, it was Zhong Sheng, after he closed the lid of the pot as it was, he got up and patted Li Yuan, and said, "It's okay, this one doesn't work, there will always be the next one." ”

When Li Yuan heard his words, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and said to himself: "I understand you, and I also know the meaning of the archaeological institute, they are all looking forward to unearthing liquid wine again, but this is sometimes the will of heaven, you can't run around the country all year round for the sake of the master's wishes." ”

After Li Yuan said this, Zhong Sheng stood silently for a long time before replying: "You have time to go back to the school to see the teacher." ”

Li Yuan's heart tightened inexplicably, grabbed Zhong Sheng's arm, and hurriedly said, "What's wrong with him, old man." ”

Zhong Sheng pursed his lips and shook his head, signaling him to rest assured: "It's still an old problem, don't worry, I went to see it before I left, and I was in good spirits." But, I'm afraid ......"

"Don't, don't scare yourself. Li Yuan hurriedly raised his hand to stop him from talking, his heart beating in panic, "Senior brother, I know, when the holiday is over in a few days, I will go back to my alma mater to find a scolding." ”

Li Yuan and Zhong Sheng's mentor Gu Mingjun Gu Lao, who is also a well-known figure in the archaeological field, once presided over the excavation of an ancient tomb site in Hebei in 1977, which unearthed the earliest liquid wine in China.

It is a pity that the level of science and technology was limited at that time, and the unearthed liquid wine was not in a good state of preservation, and it was oxidized and deteriorated without a thorough study of it.

Old man Gu regretted this all his life, and every time he mentioned this matter, he had to sigh for a while, and he hoped that liquid wine would be unearthed in China again.

Zhong Sheng is the most important student of Old Man Gu, and he is also the student who has been with him for the longest time, so he naturally listens to these words the most. Whenever Gu Lao sighed, Zhong Sheng never spoke up, but for so many years, as long as it was possible to unearth liquid wine at archaeological sites, Zhong Sheng was there.

In this excavation of the Fengli liquor site, Yizhou Province also had great expectations for the unearthing of ancient liquor, and specially talked to Li Yuan. Li Yuan knew that the teacher was too old to work on the front line of archaeology, and he took it for granted when he heard that it was his senior brother Zhong Sheng who came over, but now listening to Zhong Sheng's meaning, it turned out that the teacher's body was so bad......

Li Yuan thought about a lot of things in a mess, and when he looked up, he found that Zhong Sheng had already turned back to work, and he reluctantly calmed down, and said, "I'll tell the team leader about the opening result of this wine jug, senior brother, you are busy first." ”

Zhong Sheng stayed alone in the laboratory, and heard Li Yuan's footsteps walking farther and farther away, gradually disappearing.

He stopped moving, rubbed his temples, and sighed deeply.

After a moment's pause, he put his gloves back on and began to extract the sediment from the pot.

At this time, the door of the laboratory was suddenly pushed open, and someone walked in from the outside.

Zhong Sheng turned around and found that it was Wen Xiaoman.

"I heard Li Yuan tell me about the specific situation...... Wen Xiaoman watched Zhong Sheng carefully take out the sediment in the pot with tweezers, put it in a very small plastic box, and carefully seal it before she asked, "Are you going to send these sediments to test the ingredients?"

Zhong Sheng replied in a low voice, still focused on the work at hand, not bothering to look at her.

Wen Xiaoman looked at him behind him, took a deep breath, and continued: "There are many reasons why soju produces sediment, if you can determine the composition of the sediment in the flat pot, you can also pour out whether this flat pot was originally filled with shochu or not......"

Zhong Sheng frowned and opened his mouth to interrupt Wen Xiaoman, but when these words fell on Wen Xiaoman's ears, he was full of impatience: "If you don't say this, I also know, let's make a long story short, what are you looking for me for?"

Wen Xiaoman's mind was already delicate, and when she was interrupted by this, she bit her lip and said for a long time before she spoke: "I think that if you only want to study ancient wine, you don't necessarily have to unearth liquid wine, whether it is the mud of the ancient cellar, the residual wine residue in the wine jar, or the unearthed fermented fermented grain, it is helpful to study the composition and formula of ancient wine." If you believe me, I am even confident that I can restore the ancient sake ......"

After Wen Xiaoman finished speaking, Zhong Sheng didn't speak for a long time. She looked at his back immersed in his work, a little helpless, and finally decided to turn around and leave.

But the moment she was about to leave the laboratory, she suddenly heard Zhong Sheng's almost murmuring words.

"Wen Xiaoman, no matter what, thank you for your kindness. ”

Zhong Sheng cherishes words like gold, and there is a deep meaning beyond his words.

Wen Xiaoman was full of blue heart, but he couldn't be sure for a while, what Zhong Sheng was grateful for. But it didn't matter, she smiled slightly, the sunlight shone in through the crack in the door, and said in her heart: "Zhong Sheng, you're welcome." ”

Most of the human beings on this earth, every Friday, are lazy, inattentive, and inefficient, which is about to become a global consensus, and it is difficult to completely cure lazy cancer by many sociology experts and scholars who study these topics day and night.

The archaeological team is no exception, starting from Li Yuan, not to mention being ten minutes late in the morning, and going down to explore the party also looks like grinding, holding a brush lazily grinding foreign workers, not to mention other interns, free activities on weekends, several people discuss going back to school together, just the activities to participate in on the weekend, have planned several plans, and their minds have flown early.

On the other hand, Zhong Sheng, just like two parallel time and space, how to do it or how to do it, meticulous in his daily work, and his mentality is so good that he doesn't know what a working day is and what a holiday is, not to mention how can someone become an academic boss, Li Yuan sometimes feels that this kid is afraid that he is not going to become a god.

After squatting for a long time, Li Yuan only felt a pain in his back, and was ready to get up and move, but as soon as he stood up, his feet were weak, and he wanted to plant to the side leisurely, at this time, one hand was on his elbow, and he grabbed him, and Wen Xiaoman's considerate voice came from his ear: "Squatting numb, don't get up so violently next time." ”

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to say thank you, he saw that Wen Xiaoman had already picked up the camera and took photos in style, and Zhong Sheng next to him didn't need to say much, turned around to take over the work below, and the two of them really cooperated a little bit smoothly.

Li Yuan figured out that something was wrong, Wen Xiaoman had only been exploring the party for a few days, less than a week, although the work she was engaged in didn't require much professional knowledge, but this vision was rare, and she couldn't do it to this point, and she didn't know how much work it took in private.

Moreover, Zhong Sheng knows this person best, unless it is on-the-spot teaching, Zhong Sheng rarely brings assistants when he goes down, and it is not that he has a bad temperament, but because he has good hands and fast rhythm, ordinary people rarely keep up, but it adds to the chaos. Look at this Wen Xiaoman again, although he is a newcomer, he hardly needs Zhong Sheng to mention it, he is conscious when he should be conscious, and he stands on the side when he should observe, he is a smart person.

"Tsk, interesting. Li Yuanmo rubbed his chin and thought to himself, thinking a little differently about this pair at the moment.

The sun was gradually sinking in the west, and as soon as the work on the construction site was over, Tian Xin dropped the shovel, rushed back to the dormitory like the wind, took out a few backpacks that had been packed up a long time ago, and shouted: "I can finally enter the city!"

After that, Tian Xin looked back at Wen Xiaoman and asked in disbelief: "Sister Xiaoman, are you really not going back to school?"

Wen Xiaoman pointed to the laptop on the table, smiled and shook his head: "I forget it, I still want to take advantage of this weekend to catch up with my graduation thesis." ”

"Yes, you're in your third year of study, and it's true that the thesis is more important. Sister Xiaoman, I'll go first. Tian Xin understood at the time.

Wen Xiaoman smiled faintly and said with concern: "Well, pay attention to safety on the road, and remember to send me WeChat when you arrive." ”

Tian Xin waved his hand and said mischievously: "Anla, I'll go back to school with a few other boys, and they will escort me all the way." ”
