Chapter 27: Simple Blackboard
When Yue Yang walked away, Yue Liang said to Ma Qiang, "Ma Lang, my kid is spoiled by me and is not sensible, I hope you don't dislike him and guide him more." ”
Lin Huan and the five people all felt that even if Ma Qiang was not a legendary immortal disciple, he was also a person with great skills, and hoped that their children could learn skills from Ma Qiang, and they could come back with a face in the future.
is still the same sentence, pity the hearts of parents all over the world.
"Uncle Father-in-law, don't say that, by the way, I'm going to use some limestone from Uncle Father-in-law, I didn't say hello before, now I'm here to say hello to you."
"It's just going to work, if you want me to help."
"With Brother Liu Hui here, there shouldn't be any problem... In addition, what I just asked Brother Yue Yang to do may cause him a little injury, Uncle Yue-in-law, don't be angry. ”
Don't say angry, as soon as he heard that Yue Yang would suffer a little injury, Yue Liang didn't mention how happy he was, he clapped his hands and smiled, "Okay, okay, I'm afraid you will dislike him, it's okay, as long as you don't lack arms and short legs, you can use him." ”
This daddy... Really willing.
Ma Qiang, Guo Ping, Guo Jin and his son returned to the compound, which had become a small workshop at this time, where Lu Qingcheng and Lu Yun were sharpening wood with a knife, and Lu Qinglime on the side was helping to weave fine hemp rope.
"Strange, what about Lin Zhi?" Ma Qiang looked around and found that Lin Zhi, who was supposed to be making trouble in the crowd, was gone.
"He and Brother Liu Hui went to get pig bristles, and Brother Liu Hui just moved the ground limestone over, and then said that it might be more convenient to go with loess and white smoke."
Take two tiger cubs to pluck pig hair?
I'm not afraid to scare pigs to death.
However, the current pigs are all newly domesticated boars, and they should be quite bold.
"This is mint, and this one, it's honeysuckle, I don't know if it's enough?" Guo Ping took two packets of medicinal herbs and handed them to Guo Jin and asked.
"Enough, enough, please Brother Guo boil these two medicinal herbs into a thick juice, by the way, don't use them all, leave a third for emergencies." Ma Qiang saw that these two packets were almost half a catty, this was a sun-dried dried medicinal herb, and medicinal materials like peppermint were just to increase the taste and anti-inflammatory effect of toothpaste, and the proportion of added materials did not need to be very high.
"Brother Pony, you see, I cut off my father's tail."
I saw Lin Zhi holding a ponytail, as if he was holding a medal, and the two little tigers, one left and one right, were also bouncing, not to mention how happy they were.
"Lin Zhi, did you cut your father's ponytail?" Guo Ping looked at the thing that Lin Zhi was holding in his hand, his hand shook, and his beard was pulled off twice.
"The pigs in the pigsty have been pulling out a few hairs for a long time, and I saw that my father's big black horse was grazing on the side, so I got up and down with a knife, you see, there are more bristles than Liu Hui's brother." Lin Zhi said with a smug face.
Although Ma Qiang had seen horses in the zoo before, and had ridden horses, he really hadn't touched the horse's tail, he took the horse's tail and touched it, and found that it felt good, and it could be used as a toothbrush if it was cut short, as for the poor big black horse who couldn't use the horse's tail to drive away mosquitoes... Ma Qiang can only pretend that he doesn't know.
"It's already like this, it will grow anyway, and Uncle Lin won't care if he wants to come." Ma Qiang said a word that he didn't know who to comfort, and continued the great business of toothbrush and toothpaste.
"With the materials, Qingcheng, you cut the hair first, Brother Liu Hui, please set up a big pot here, Brother Guo Jin, after you boil the medicinal materials, go and collect the shells of the plant seeds, and put them over there."
Ma Qiang continued to command, Guo Ping thought that he couldn't help himself when he went to the construction site, so he might as well help boil the medicine, so he snatched the medicine in Guo Jin's hand, waved his hand and said, "Come on, I'll boil the medicine, you go and do something else." ”
Guo Jinurn responded angrily, took a bucket from home and went to collect plant seed husks.
Ma Qiang found a wooden board he had seen before, first wrote on it with black charcoal, and then wiped it with a wet towel, and found that the effect was not very good.
"Qingcheng, do you know where to get lacquer? I want to make a blackboard out of this wooden board. Ma Qiang knew that there was no paper in the village for him to make drafts, so he had to find a way to make a blackboard.
"I know, I'll get it." Lu Qingcheng ran away with a gust of wind, and after a while, he ran back like a gust of wind, with an extra bucket of paint in his hand.
"I'll paint it, you go and get busy with yours." Ma Qiang's raw paint began to be painted.
Ma Qiang's lacquer is lacquer, a milky white pure natural liquid paint harvested from lacquer trees, which will quickly oxidize into brown or black as long as it comes into contact with air.
So in Chinese there is such an adjective as pitch black.
The sumac tree is widely distributed and can be found in almost all but a few northernmost provinces in China.
Ma Qiang painted the brown lacquer on the wooden board, and then put it on the edge of the fire and baked it, making a simple blackboard.
The only fly in the ointment is that Ma Qiang has no sponge, so he naturally can't make a blackboard eraser, so he can only replace it with hairy animal skins.
Then, Ma Qiang took a little limestone from Yue Liang's house and began to write on the blackboard.
What he wanted to write was the material needed for the toothpaste and the formula for the proportion of the ingredients he imagined.
Toothpastes are complex concoctions, and there are thousands of formulations, but they are all made up of friction agents, wetting agents, surfactants, binders, flavours and sweeteners, plus a few specialty excipients.
"Brother Pony, what are you writing here? Why don't I even recognize these words? Lin Zhi raised his head and asked curiously.
"What? Sister Linzhi, do you also know how to read? Ma Qiang looked back a little surprised, in the late Han Dynasty, an era of immature printing, books basically relied on copying, and even because papermaking was not mature, a set of books could be passed on for more than ten generations, intellectuals did not dare to say that it was rarer than tigers, and it was absolutely rare than mountain boars.
Although there were 30,000 Guangtai students in Luoyang at this time, I am afraid that I can't even find a set of books in a remote mountain village like Dasong Village.
How did Lin Zhi know words?
"Well, Daddy taught me, yes! I recognize the word, this is a stone of stone, right? ”
"Well, yes, it's the stone word for stone." Ma Qiang touched Lin Zhi's head as a sign of encouragement.
Ma Qiang wrote the simplified characters of later generations, but the simplified characters are not the products that suddenly appeared after the liberation, most of the writing of simplified characters has been used in Guda, but they are generally called vulgar characters, but because there is no unified simplified method, a word can have a variety of different simplified characters, which is why Mr. Lu Xun's article Kong Yiji will write several ways of fennel.
Therefore, even if the great Confucians of this era saw the characters written by Ma Qiang, they would only wonder why most of what Ma Qiang wrote were vulgar characters, and some vulgar characters were different from those he had seen before, and he would not be completely unrecognizable.
Of course, the newly created characters of later generations, such as 瞾, are absolutely unrecognizable to people of this era.
