Time flickered, and more than half a month passed.

The life of the Huntelaar family was as difficult as ever, the old Huntelaar was busy managing his own company every day, and the little Mr. Huntelaar had locked himself in the "real yàn room" since he started his "great" real yàn, and was busy with his own work of finding filament substitutes every day.

Of course, it's all for others to see.

The rest of the family, including old Huntelaar, couldn't enter this room casually, so no one else knew what was going on with him. So no one knew that John had already made the light bulb in the second week after the materials were all purchased!

For a 21st century person, it is not very difficult to participate in a similar interest group.

The only difficulty was that there were not as many ready-made materials as in the 21st century, and many things had to be made by John himself, so he did not test it with the first sulfuric acid battery until ten days later, and the price of success was a few cuts in his hand, and a black spot burned out of his leg by the accidentally burst out of the sulfuric acid.

It's just that the time for "research" is too short, and it is easy to cause trouble when taken out, so John did not immediately sue his grandfather. In his opinion, in a month or two, twenty or thirty kinds of materials can barely be taken out. For this he can only make the cost a little higher, most likely to reach the thousand dollars that Hans said......

After lighting the electric light, John's mind was relieved and he returned to the book.

In this era, there are no computers, no Internet, and it is sub-zero winter outside, and John has no interest in letting people run around with him, so it seems that there is only one way to read books. So every day after breakfast, he would run back to his room, lock the door and read the newspaper or old Huntelaar's collection, and then make a little noise from time to time to make others think that he was continuing to tinker with those things.

This morning, after breakfast, John picked up the newspaper that old Huntelaar had read, and wanted to go back to the house, but was stopped by his grandfather: "John, today is Sunday, don't do any more experiments." Mr. Stone asked me to go to Central Park with him today...... I just went out to take a look, and it was a good day to go to the park! ”

"Central Park?"

John's heart moved when he heard this, and he couldn't help but stop.

For this so-called Central Park, John can be said to have admired the name of the big name for a long time, and the first to know this place was the name of the café in an American drama "Friends" that he had seen in his previous life, but it was a pity that he did not have the opportunity to enter it on the first day of his arrival in New York.

Merely......

"You mean Mr. Stone? Mr. Stone, Mrs. Stone's husband? ”

John asked with a wink of his eyes, remembering Emma, the girl who was cute-looking, but who had made him angry. He had a deep impression of that girl, and naturally remembered it at once.

"Yes, it's Mr. Stone."

"Although Central Park in winter is far less beautiful than in summer, there are still many fewer people, and it is worth spending some time. ”

As a businessman, in addition to sharing interests, maintaining a close personal relationship with his partner on a daily basis can be regarded as an investment, so when Mr. Stone wrote to old Huntelaar he agreed without hesitation.

But John pouted, "I remember that Mrs. Stone didn't like balls?" Why did you suddenly remember to go to the park? ”

Although he is interested in Central Park, John is a little reluctant now. Although the weather is very good and the sun is abundant, he knows that the temperature in New York will still be below freezing, and in this era when there are no down jackets, a little wind can blow people to death! And he knew very well that old Huntelaar was old-fashioned, and would definitely ask him to go out in formal clothes, which would be even more offensive!

Hearing him say this, old Huntelaar was not happy, and said with a calm face: "Mr. Stone is not one of those superficial big businessmen, and has the same attitude towards the ball as I do. ”

As a traditional businessman, the elder Huntelaar undoubtedly had many old-fashioned ideas, such as that he was still very uninterested in the factory owners, and felt superior to others, and for example, he was not used to the lavish banquets that the upper class flocked to, and would never go to it unless necessary.

"Then why not go to the opera? Isn't that a gentleman's favorite pastime? ”

John asked, somewhat reluctantly.

"Remember, never an opera in front of Mr. Stone!"

After listening to John's question, old Huntelaar's face changed, and he said urgently: "Mr. Stone's brother died in the Astor Theater riot twenty years ago, and he is very taboo for others to talk to him about this, understand?" ”

"Understood."

John was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll go change my clothes." ”

After a month of getting along, he has already figured out his grandfather's character, knowing that although the other party does value himself very much, he does not hesitate to invest a lot of money to meet his needs, and the original attitude like ice has gradually begun to soften, but the traditional patriarchal style is still deep-rooted, if he refuses, it will be a matter!

Soon, the two went out in a carriage.

Indeed, as Mr. Slark had said, the Huntelaar house was not far from Central Park, and in twenty minutes they were at the entrance of the park. Henry, the coachman, jumped out of the carriage as soon as possible and ran to the ticket window to buy a ticket.

"What are you going to do?"

Seeing John sitting at the door reaching out to open the door, old Huntelaar frowned, knocked on the floor with his cane and asked in a deep voice.

"Aren't you going to get out of the car?"

John asked with a blink, a little puzzled.

Old Huntelaar was slightly stunned and asked suspiciously, "Who told Sù that you are going to get off the car?" Central Park is huge, and we are still far from the agreed location with Mr. Stone! ”

"Huh?!"

At this moment, John was completely surprised: "Could it be that Central Park allows horse-drawn carriages to enter?" ”

"Why not?"

What John didn't expect was that old Huntelaar was even more surprised than him, and asked rhetorically with a glare.

Seeing his grandfather's expression, John's expression darkened, and he knew that he had made a big fuss. However, he was still amazed in his heart, in his memory, it seemed that a place like a park should not allow vehicles to enter, could it be that the old beautiful park was so big that it could not allow horse-drawn carriages to run back and forth in it?

"Humph!"

Seeing his grandson's appearance, old Huntelaar couldn't help but tap his cane again and snorted coldly.

Again, old Huntelaar was more inclined to have a governess, for he thought that John was more in need of an education in music, art, philosophy, and some common sense of Western life than scientific knowledge, and that it would have been more efficient for a governess to do so.

While the two were talking, Henry had already run back from the ticket window.

"Henry, how much is the entrance fee to the park?"

Seeing that old Huntelaar seemed to have the intention of reprimanding himself again, John's heart jumped, and he hurriedly asked loudly.

"Three cents on foot, six cents per person in a carriage, sir!"

Henry replied loudly, and then drove the carriage into Central Park.

……

After reading the debate in the book review area, I don't think it's necessary, and everyone is calm.

I would like to say that I have no intention of writing about the things of the times, and the reason why I wrote about physics, chemistry and biology in front of me is because of the medical needs of that era, and without breakthroughs in disciplines such as physics and chemistry, there would be no modern medical exhibitions. In addition, something like quantum mechanics sounds very profound, I really don't understand, haha, I'll only write something I understand, and forget the rest.

Besides, that was enough in those days, wasn't it?
