Chapter 46: The Lore of the Gel Pen
Anyone in this world who says something good may not be really a good thing.
But Chen Chu is an exception, because what he has in his hands is really good.
"What's that?" Li Er asked.
He felt that this thing was like touching an award, and if he was not careful, Chen Chu might be able to greatly improve the quality of everyone's clothing, food, housing and transportation.
"You'll know in the future, by the way, what were the names of those drinks just now, I'll remember it, and I'll go back to my club to buy it and upgrade it."
Chen Chu took out a notebook and gel pen, waiting for them to say that he would write it down, he really didn't write down so many names just now.
Everyone stared at the pen in his hand.
Li Er laughed and said: "Chen Chu, what is this shuddering thing for, wouldn't it be good if you want to write and let someone bring up the pen and ink?" ”
Princess Jiujiang came back to her senses: "Condensation pulp, osmanthus syrup, and Wuyun pulp, etc." ”
Chen Chu began to write, and black pen and ink gushed out, leaving a small and clear font on the paper.
Chen Chu still wrote from left to right, and wrote down the names of several high-quality drinks with spaces on two lines.
Now Li Er couldn't laugh anymore,, didn't Chen Chu say that good things were in his house, why did they appear on him?
You don't need a brush or inkstone, you can carry it with you, and it won't be stained with ink.
This doesn't need Chen Chu to make any explanation, facts speak louder than words, almost the moment he saw the font appear, a room full of people were killed.
In ancient times, it was almost impossible to write at any time when a person traveled, even a group of people, unless they were specially carrying carriages, people, etc.
Otherwise, where to put the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
From time to time, the Tang people like to show off their literary talents, sad spring and autumn, singing the moon and frost, and modern people sometimes encounter the need to remember mobile phone memos, not to mention the Tang Shishi people with a strong cultural atmosphere.
Yu Shinan also tasted a delicacy that he had never experienced in his life today.
According to Chen Chu's kindness, he took out the delicious food in the copper pot and soaked it in the teacup, still choking on the spicy enough, but now he is gradually getting used to it.
At this time, he was shocked and said, "Amazing, how can this thing be written in ink?" And no grinding! ”
"With such a thin pen tube, could it be that the ink is hidden in the innermost tube? But won't it dry up? ”
People opened their mouths one after another, a small gel pen, so that they were happy to discuss, and no one could break the secret.
"In fact, the secret of this gel pen lies in its head, if you look closely, this head is not a brush, but a small steel ball, which can roll out the preserved ink during rolling."
Chen Chu can also be regarded as a good teacher, explain to these people.
Everyone took advantage of the light to take a look, isn't it, but this steel ball is too small and too small, small as dust, God, how to make this thing, how to install it?
Anyway, it's right to be unconscious.
Li Er and the others knew that okay, it was something that Datang couldn't handle, let alone make it, the size of this steel ball could scare the craftsmen.
"In the future, prepare a small notebook like this, write what you want when you go out, and remember what you want to remember."
"What pen, ink, paper and inkstone, put it at home and use it slowly, it's still so convenient outside! On a piece of paper, a brush can write 100 words, but a gel pen with a thinner pen can write 4 or 500 words, and the same content consumes less paper. ”
Chen Chu showed off his gel pen, and when he saw that everyone nodded frequently in approval, his eyes almost came up and grabbed it.
Li Er asked: "Chen Chu, how long can this pen last?" ”
Chen Chu calculated the usage of his student days: "If you have a few thousand words a day, you can use it for more than ten years." ”
Everyone gasped, you know, the brush writing is slow, and they rarely encounter the time when they have to write thousands of words.
It is equivalent to saying that in their hands, such a small one, it is no problem to use it for half a month or even a month!
The most important thing is that this can be used outside, traveling, recording, etc., backhanded, this and this......
Liu Zhenghui sighed: "Is it possible, this is another change in my Datang?" ”
These words couldn't help but remind Chen Chu: "Anyway, how is the discussion in your court, does the emperor plan to implement Arabic numerals?" ”
Li Er is naturally the most qualified to speak: "Today, for this matter, the court meeting was held for a whole day, and the big policy was decided, and tomorrow the whole Tang Dynasty will implement Arabic numerals, and all officials and ordinary people will begin to recognize numbers, and from then on, all documents and records will try to replace words and numbers with symbolic numbers, but after all, it is a tradition of thousands of years, and the implementation speed is bound to be slow." ”
"The order of writing is simpler, and after watching the demonstration, everyone agrees, which is not a difficult task."
"Is it troublesome to push? What's the trouble with that. ”
Chen Chuke is very eager to popularize Arabic numerals as soon as possible: "The imperial court will issue rewards, and whoever remembers quickly among the people and who is familiar with the hundred officials will be rewarded." ”
"Then the documents issued by the imperial court, the official Tang newspapers, etc., all use Arabic numerals."
"I, Xiao Chen, will lead by example, I won't use Arabic numerals, and I'm not allowed to come in to eat! I'm going to write the menu in Arabic numerals as well. ”
Chen Chu patted his chest, and everyone said in their hearts How can this guy be more anxious than us, but what he said was discussed by everyone yesterday, and in fact, he was planning to inspire the memory of hundreds of officials in this way.
Tomorrow, Li Erke plans to have a competition.
Whoever is familiar with Arabic numerals will be rewarded for their familiarity, and now don't look at them eating and drinking, I don't know how many big and small officials are meditating at home with their memories.
"Okay, I have a lot of this kind of pen here, you can take it back and use it, find out the feeling."
Chen Chu exchanged ten gel pens from the Tucao Mall for distribution, and just after ten people finished sending: "I think it's very good to use the brush writing as a formal document, and it's very good-looking." ”
"But in ordinary life, it will be much more convenient and faster to write records with this kind of pen, I don't believe you can go back and try it."
Xiao Chen still knows how to be a person, and he still has a lot of energy.
Li Er secretly praised in his heart, he always liked this time, it was convenient and trouble-free, and he didn't know how much trouble he could save in the future? In the dead of winter, wouldn't it be possible to lie on the bed and take this thing to review?
Anyway, I don't have to worry about the ink spilling on the bed.
Chen Chu asked them not to write with the posture of a brush, but to follow his example, with the middle finger against it, the thumb and index finger grasp the pen shaft, and the hand buckled hard, and the pen shaft would be calm and powerful.
Most of them here have many years of experience in using pens, and after a little teaching by Chen Chu, they found the correct posture to hold the gel pen and began to brush and write.
"It's well written, and the handwriting is beautiful." Chen Chu watched from behind and praised Princess Jiujiang, she seemed to be naturally good at writing with this gel pen, and she was very smooth when she wrote.
I don't know, I thought she grew up under the red flag.
Li Er and the others bumped and bumped, but gradually became smoother, the more they wrote, the more happy they became, and they couldn't help themselves with excitement, and even began to write some poems silently with themselves.
