Chapter 469: Whimsical
"It's okay, just do what I just said." Gu Xinyu's expression was very solemn, and then he told these mothers-in-law, "When you tell others how to eat daylily, you must tell them carefully, and there can be no mistakes at all." ”
Gu Xinyu looked at Mama Wang with a sad face again, and said with a smile, "Mama Wang, don't worry, it's okay, I'm not a child, I won't eat poisonous things in my stomach, you just do what I just said, and then dry the rest first." ”
"Yes, young lady." Mama Wang looked at Gu Xinyu's calm appearance, and couldn't think of a reason to refute it, so she could only nod and say yes.
Gu Xinyu looked at the hesitant looks of the others, and then said, "Actually, picking this kind of daylily is the best in this season, and I won't have to eat it in a few days." ”
After she said these words, she turned around and walked out of the stove room with Chunli, and Gu Xinyu called Uncle Wang again and told him that there was a yellow flower called daylily on a hillside in the back mountain.
Let him instruct the little steward of the mountain villa to bring a few people to pick all these daylilies.
Anyway, no one will look at it there, so it's better to take it off and keep it for eating.
There are many recipes for daylily, and the flavor is particularly delicious.
It is also something that Gu Xinyu likes to eat very much.
Then Gu Xinyu asked Chunli to hand a few daylilies in the basket to Uncle Wang, looking at Uncle Wang's surprised look, Gu Xinyu knew that he might not know.
So, Gu Xinyu pointed to the daylily and said softly, "Uncle Wang, the name of this flower is daylily, don't pick the wrong one, and then after picking it back, find a big wooden board to dry it and store it." ”
Uncle Wang knew in his heart that this was something delicious that the young lady had discovered again, and he was not very clear about this, after all, he had not been in Rongcheng for a long time.
When he asked the little steward below to take his subordinates to pick it, many people told him that this thing was poisonous, what was it for?
Uncle Wang remembered what Gu Xinyu said to him, and he told the big guy that this kind of thing can be eaten, as long as the method is correct.
Then he told these people about how to eat the daylily, and these people will be suspicious, after all, they have not seen anyone eat it, but they have seen someone eat it and be poisoned, so for a while no one really wants to pick this daylily at home to dry it and keep it for later cooking and eating.
So, with such a rich resource, even if Gu Xinyu told everyone, there were only a few picks sporadically, and they also told their families to eat them after drying.
In this way, in just three days, the mountain village picked a large number of daylilies.
Then hanging on the big wooden board in the backyard, Gu Xinyu saw that other people were not interested in this daylily at all, and sighed secretly, it seems that the promotion of many things does not mean that you can say that you can, and the deep-rooted ideas are difficult to pull out in their hearts, so they can only do it and look at it.
And that night, after Mama Wang made a plate of cold daylily, she tasted it first, and felt that the taste was really delicious, and after eating it for a while, she didn't feel any discomfort.
Mama Wang asked Chunli to bring this dish to Gu Xinyu with other side dishes.
Gu Xinyu listened to Chunli's evaluation of Mama Wang, and knew in her heart that Mama Wang was worried that something was wrong with her, so she had the courage to taste it first.
Gu Xinyu felt amused, and at the same time he was very moved.
These people around me treat themselves sincerely.
This is also the reason why Gu Xinyu stays in this era and has more and more sense of belonging.
Zhou Muhan's personal bodyguard Wang Yi sent a letter to Gu Xinyu in the evening.
In the letter, Zhou Muhan told Gu Xinyu that he had arrived safely in Xiyuan, which was a place very different from other places in the Zhou Dynasty.
There are deserts, wastelands, and endless lakes, and it is said that at the end of the lake, there is a perennial snow-capped mountain.
The snow lotus he gave her last time was picked on the snowy mountain.
Gu Xinyu secretly speculated in his heart that it should be similar to Tibet in later generations, but it should still be some distance away from Tibet.
Along with the letter came some small items, including crystal clear red agate, as well as some items from the Western Regions sold in Xiyuan City.
Gu Xinyu was a little disappointed, she still didn't see a shadow of the clock.
She packed these things up, and Zhou Muhan didn't tell her how General Jiang was there, and there was a reason why she couldn't say it.
However, Gu Xinyu knew that the day when Linlang's family would see the light of day would come soon.
I just don't know what General Jiang's reaction will be when he returns to see his family ruined.
She sighed secretly, the change of dynasty, the change of the world, all this, it is difficult to predict General Jiang.
After washing, Gu Xinyu leaned on the chaise longue in the bedroom, and the candles in the room burst into sparks from time to time.
The brain was running rapidly, Gu Xinyu recalled what he knew little by little, and then Gu Xinyu finally remembered that the real originator of the invention of clocks was Su Song, the prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty.
About 1090, Su Song, the prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, presided over the construction of a water transport instrument elephant platform, which can tell the time and hit the clock, its structure has been similar to the structure of modern clocks, and can be called the ancestor of clocks.
There is only one second of error per day. Moreover, it has an escapement, which is the one that makes a ticking sound when it works.
After the 12th century, Chinese clock technology was introduced to Europe, and Europeans created clocks, which can be said to be that the Chinese created the history of human clocks and influenced the progress of Western clocks later.
Gu Xinyu got up from the chaise longue excitedly, and then walked around the room a few times, she knew that there was a timer in this era, and it was the kind of device similar to the hourglass and the water transport instrument elephant platform.
There is only one, and it is installed on the stargazing platform of the Kyoto Imperial Palace.
Of course, Gu Xinyu could not be allowed to step into the stargazing platform, but she had heard Fu Shu's simple description that at that time, her resentment against time was not as big as it is now, so she didn't take it to heart, but she still remembered what she should remember.
Many phenomena in this time and space can no longer be inferred from the inevitable laws of the development of things.
There is almost no consistency with the history of the previous life, and the things that should have appeared either did not appear, or appeared, but they were different from the world that Gu Xinyu knew.
It's as if there were two buildings, one collapsed and the other unharmed.
Therefore, even if the collapsed building is rebuilt, it is impossible to restore it to its original state.
Maybe this analogy is not appropriate, but Gu Xinyu at this time really can't imagine what the world will eventually develop into.
Many times, Gu Xinyu has a peculiar idea.
She felt as if the world was a toy made up by the creator god, a cloning artifact.
Then, the creator god watched to see how far the clone would grow, and whether it would gradually move towards human glory like its prototype (to be continued). )
