It was a strange contraption that somewhat resembled a hamburger.

Counting from top to bottom, there are a total of four round stone slabs pressed together, and between each slabs is an unknown layer of black dry mud-like substance, which looks like a super burger with several layers of beef patties.

Besides.

There are also two wooden poles that are attached horizontally to the upper and lower ends of the "Super Burger", and the ends of the two wooden bars are tied with ropes, like a huge shelf holding the "Super Burger".

And judging from the traces left on the wooden bar, this thing should also be able to continue to increase the clamping force by adding ropes.

At the lower end of the device, there is a bronze ...... The big funnel?

The inside of the large funnel is polished so smooth that if liquid drips on it, it will slide down immediately.

Underneath the big funnel.

There is also a small jade bowl in the upright......

At this moment, the layers of black dry muddy material sandwiched in the round stone slab had been severely decayed, and the intentional parts had become viscous, and mottled mold and fimbria had grown, and some viscous black liquid was oozing out of it.

The black liquid then slides down the "super burger".

Just caught by that huge bronze hole.

Then slide it into the smallest jade bowl.

After so many years, the capacity of the small jade bowl was obviously insufficient, and a large pool of black dry marks had been left underneath it, and only the part that had recently overflowed remained moist.

Even if it is said.

It is now long past the peak of the large amount of "black liquid" oozing, and all that is still oozing out is the deterioration produced by the mold of the unknown black powder.

"What the hell is this ......"

Wu Liang put a gas mask on his face to resist the strong and choking fragrance.

Dian Wei, Bai Jingjing and Yu Ji also hurriedly did so.

The breathing was a little easier.

Although the smell is still very strong, it relieves the sourness of the nasal cavity, so that you can't help but want to sneeze, and even the tear ducts begin to twitch.

"What the hell is this?"

Under the gas mask, Bai Jingjing made the sound of urns and urns.

"If I'm not mistaken, this could be a tool for oil extraction."

Wu Liang said intently.

In fact, vegetable edible oil has appeared in the Han Dynasty, and Zhang Qian of the Western Han Dynasty returned from his mission to the Western Regions, and a large number of new species were introduced to the Central Plains, including the later oil extraction raw material - flax (sesame).

Therefore, the most primitive vegetable oil pressing process has gradually emerged.

However, this thing is still very, very unpopular in this era, except for those top princes and nobles who can enjoy sesame oil to a limited extent, the common people have never seen it, and they don't understand the process.

And this set of devices in front of you has a similar principle to the "jack drop pressing method" that only appeared in the records of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

It's just that the process is obviously a little more backward.

Wu Liang also came up with such a guess based on this.

But obviously.

The ingredients in the kit in front of me are not flax or other things that can be used to squeeze vegetable oil, otherwise neither the taste nor the oozing liquid will be like this.

As for what exactly?

Wu Liang suspected that it was a mixture of some spices...... Is it incense making?

That's a big possibility!

It is necessary to know that the Han Dynasty has used more incense, not only Wu Liang has seen Xun Yu likes incense, but also found a lot of spices and incense utensils in the tomb of Mrs. Xin Chai of Mawangdui excavated in later generations.

Besides.

There are also a lot of related records, and there are clouds in "Zhao Feiyan's Biography": "After bathing in the five essences and seven spiced soup, standing in the incense and sinking water, sitting on the fire of the gods Baiyun incense, Jieyu bathing cardamom soup, Fu Luhua Baiying powder." ”

Here is the beautiful picture of the concubine in the palace taking a fragrant bath, smoking the incense, and rubbing the incense.

It can be seen that leaving aside many ordinary people who can't even eat enough, the use of incense among the royal family has become customary.

But even so, there are still some things that make Wu Liang wonder.

Whether it is taking a fragrant bath, or smoking incense, or rubbing incense, these are just more common usages, and it seems that there is no practical process similar to "oil extraction" to process spices.

At least there is never such a record in historical documents.

In addition, as far as Wu Liang knows, this process is a bit like the method of refining and refining the essence when making perfume in later generations, although the process between the two is still very far away, and the purity of the refined essence is completely different......

"A tool for oil extraction?"

Dian Wei, Bai Jingjing, and Yu Ji all showed puzzled eyes, obviously even with this kind of tool, they couldn't immediately understand, wasn't the oil obtained from roasting fatty meat?

"Let's look into it first."

Wu Liang didn't have the heart to explain to them in detail at the moment, and continued to walk towards the tomb.

Soon he found a grinding disc not far from this extremely primitive oil extraction tool, on which were stacked some spices that had been thoroughly dried, and among them were more than a dozen oval hairballs.

Wu Liang knew that this thing was musk!

Underneath the grinding disc, a portion of the black dry mud similar to the one found in the "Super Burger" has been ground out.

This further confirmed Wu Liang's speculation.

"Head of the house, there's a corpse over there, but it's not one!"

Bai Jingjing suddenly pointed to a niche with an iron fence not far away and said, she still remembered what Wu Liang said before, "A person was buried alive in the tomb".

"Hmm."

Wu Liang nodded.

After still taking a closer look at the grinding disc and finding nothing out of the ordinary, he finally came to the front of the alcove.

Under normal circumstances, the niche in the tomb will not be equipped with a door, let alone such an iron fence, after all, this is the place where the owner of the tomb lived after death, and setting up such a niche similar to a "cell" is neither convenient nor auspicious, and does not play any role in protection or concealment.

Through the iron fence, Wu Liang saw more than a dozen dry bones in the niche.

The bones must have not been touched for years, and the clothes on their bodies, though rotten and faded, still retained their original appearance to some extent.

"These must be women's clothes, right?"

After a brief glance, Wu Liang turned back to Bai Jingjing and asked.

"It should be, and it shouldn't be that old."

Bai Jingjing nodded, and then added, "Pants like this are only worn when I am young, and the clothes are not wide enough, no matter how you look at them, they are all little girl's clothes, and they may be in their early ten years at most." ”

"That's weird......"

Wu Liang frowned slightly.

At this time, human martyrdom was no longer popular, and there was no record of human martyrdom in the "Tomb Building".

It stands to reason that even the number of animals that were buried is recorded in detail, and there is no reason why people with a higher status than animals should not be recorded.
