Chapter 32: The Stone Lamp (I)
Xiexiestillia and the innocence of the demon reward, the recommended collection of xiexie friends!
After explaining the things that needed to be purchased, Ah Yuan sent away the size of the Bai family, the sun was already bright and bright, and the air after the rain always exuded a faint smell.
No wonder only his family lives in the village, it is probably because of this strange smell, after the rain, it evaporated, slightly, a little pungent.
Where does this smell come from?
After Ah Yuan finished cleaning the stove, he sent another basin of noodles and washed his hands, and the wonder in his heart became even stronger.
Just, go out and take a look.
I found a bamboo basket, picked up a small shovel, and dug up some wild vegetables by the way.
Ah Yuan followed the taste, and the more desolate it was, the more strange it became.
One hundred and ten meters away from the courtyard of the house, is a mound, the smell is the most obvious pungent, after turning over this mound, it gradually fades, the weeds are luxuriant, the shrubs are higher than people, and then go down, is the river embankment that is gradually higher.
Ah Yuan's bamboo basket was full of wild vegetables, and then walked back along the same road, the wonder in his heart was even worse, it is said that life is tight, and the Zhuang family can't be willing to put such a large piece of wasteland uncultivated, especially the boss of the Bai family, since he sold his original fertile land, weishenme didn't reclaim this piece? Right on your doorstep, how convenient!
In the future where every inch of land is valuable, such a sloppy behavior will be fully despised!
If we have the money now, the first thing we need to do is buy them!
Ah Yuan muttered in his heart, he had already walked with sweat, the area of this wasteland was really not small, there had just been a light rain, the ground was also wet and muddy, and a pair of thin-soled embroidered shoes under his feet, thick with mud, were also wet and transparent.
The days of being poor and white are really simple, that is, they lack everything and have nothing.
The gate of the Bai family's courtyard is still securely locked, is the fat aunt embarrassed to come to the door again, right? Moreover, it is really not worth running errands for this poor family, not to mention that her body is very heavy.
Ah Yuan felt that in this family, it was necessary to make a list of jihua and prepare all the things that could not be delayed.
After tying the door and putting down the wild vegetables, Ah Yuan broke into the house of his brothers first.
She wanted to find a piece of paper, and she needed a pen.
A few boys' rooms, the smell is enough to smell, and the dirty clothes on the surface are gone, and it's hard to say.
Occupying most of the room, there is a coiled earthen kang, which is connected by three walls, and the brothers and sons lie on it, and there is enough space for two people in the boundary.
The bedding and pillows are complete, but they are not folded well, and they are messy like a dog kennel.
Ah Yuan pinched his nose and sighed, and then resigned himself to cleaning up, fortunately, under the pillow in the middle, he found a hand-bound booklet that could afford to grind hair.
It is estimated that this is Bai Laosan's original school textbook.
Ah Yuan flipped through it, the handwritten font is quite good-looking, the square and powerful ancient writing style, most of which can be read out with guesses.
This is "the beginning of human beings - nature is good - sex is similar - Xi is far away - " "Three Character Classic" is also!
It's not outrageous that I came to this realm! At the very least, culture comes from the same ancestry.
Ah Yuanle is happy, she has never asked which dynasty this era is, because she has always felt that as long as there is no war, it doesn't matter much to the common people where they are, as long as people are not lazy, no matter how willing they are to use their brains, they can live comfortably wherever they go.
It's always comforting, though, to have something familiar.
I continued to rummage, except for the "Three Character Classic", which barely sandwiched a rough rough-edged paper, which was blank, and I couldn't find any traces related to culture.
Could it be that Bai Laosan has been reading for two years, but he has not used pen and ink?
Ah Yuan opened the doors and windows for her brothers to breathe, and went out with the surviving piece of raw-edged paper, and through the fact that yesterday she went into the house to pick up their dirty clothes and washed them, none of them protested, she thought that such a further intimate act was also understandable.
Who are you? It is the housekeeper of the Bai family, the sister-in-law of the younger brothers and sisters of the Bai Chengguang family!
Picking up a blackened thin wooden stick in the stove, Ah Yuan began to lie on the dining table and think: Boss Bai has already booked a bathtub, so two more small wooden basins will be added, washing faces and feet should be separated, and the hygiene habits of younger brothers and sisters should be strengthened from now on; There are also cloth towels, which should be counted at least two per person; Add two thick clothes and two pairs of warm shoes for each person; bathing, shampooing, and laundry supplies; Grain, vegetables, and edible oil for a family of six to survive a winter; There is also lamp oil, and the days when the family uses a broken lamp are too bleak!
In the era when there were no electric lights, how did they survive?
Ah Yuan's eyes shook the days of the orphanage, lighting candles when the power went out, there are candles in this era, and I saw it on my wedding night, but it can be imagined that it must be very expensive, otherwise I wouldn't continue to burn the lamp oil.
A horse lantern with a glass cover? I've seen it in the museum, there is probably no glass here, and the windows of the Bai family are pasted with paper!
When I was a child, in the dim streets, the vendors who set up stalls selling cooked food would put up a large tea jar, or an enamel basin, filled with cold water, and an iron cylindrical thing squatting in the water, and in the middle was a thin iron pipe, long, with a gap at the top, and the flames would stick out from there, and there would always be a bubbling sound of "zizi" in the cold water, and the air would be filled with a slightly pungent smell!
Pungent smell?
Yes! It's the strange smell I smelled after the rain today, although it is getting lighter and lighter, but there is no doubt that it is the same smell!
Ah Yuan became excited again, she knew the principle of that kind of lamp, the common people called it "Gashi lamp", "Gashi" is probably the transliteration of gas, "Gashi lamp" is the calcium carbide lamp, calcium carbide (CaC2) meets water to generate acetylene gas, acetylene gas combustion produces carbon dioxide and water.
Moreover, the "Ga Shi Lamp" is simple and easy to do, handmade with a thin iron sheet, first hoop two cups-shaped iron sheets, a large mouth and a small mouth, and then use a large mouth to cover a small mouth, a small mouth with calcium carbide, and then make an iron pipe to seal some, even if the work is finished!
If there is such a "calcium carbide" buried in the wasteland outside the hospital, then you can no longer have to burn that black oil lamp, or you can make full use of resources to make a fortune!
At this moment, Ah Yuan can't wait to have wings under his ribs and wind under his feet, and immediately dig up that wasteland to the bottom and see it thoroughly, but high school graduates who have also studied chemistry courses for a few days must first analyze the danger of mining ore, right? If you dig blindly, will you be caught in prison?
