The next day, Wu Pu went to the Hanlin Academy to order Mao Ying, and before going out, he told Wu and Bi to teach Dusk, and only do one thing today: read the full text of the "Three Character Classic".

As soon as Wu Pu left, he slipped away at dusk.

was grabbed by Wu Youbi and said, Brother Dusk, if you don't read all the words of the "Three Character Classic" today, you won't be able to let you out.

The little eyes are extremely serious.

Dusk was also helpless, and it was not good to dampen the enthusiasm of this future educator, so I had to go to the study.

Fortunately, the "Three Character Classic" is simple.

It didn't take half an hour before and after, and all the dusk was recognized - after all, the "Three Character Classic" is familiar, and when you meet traditional Chinese characters, you can read it with reference to the modern version.

Dusk slipped away with a smoke.

Leaving Wu and Bi dumbfounded, he said something that he really deserved to be Huang Guan's nephew.

Reading is amazing!

It was only less than half an hour before he finished reading the three-character scripture, and he had suffered enough in this back then.

Going out at dusk, Wu and Bi returned to their desks and continued to ignore what was going on outside the window.

Dusk out of the city.

I found a local person to ask for directions, and in the scorching summer, I picked a large number of blooming lotus flowers in a lotus pond, and dug up a large bag of mussel shells in a muddy river.

When they got home, Wu and Bi had just made lunch.

Still porridge and mustard.

This will be the case for a long time, until the imperial court re-pays salaries, and Wu Pu can alleviate poverty after he has an income.

The first step is to extract the sesame oil from the lotus flowers.

The conditions are rudimentary, and only distillation can be adopted.

At dusk, I rummaged through the cabinets in the yard, found a few useless porcelain bottles, cleaned them spotlessly, there were no stainless steel pipes in this era, and it didn't matter, I went to the market and asked for a few bamboos that others couldn't sell.

After returning home, he cut it in half, cut the internal joints of the bamboo clean, and asked Wu and Bi to borrow a carpenter for polishing, and picked some coarse leaves by the way.

The horsetail is coarsely thrown, and the coarse leaves are finely ground.

After polishing the inside of the bamboo, close it along the cut track, find a rope to tie it desperately, leaving no gaps, and then connect it into a zigzag shape.

Of course, long enough to ensure a condensing effect.

The condenser tube is there.

Still short of the distillation hood.

This is more troublesome, and it is impossible to customize the glass cover and plastic tarpaulin during the Yongle period, but it is difficult to fall into the dusk.

Use a lid.

Let Wu and Bi carry the lid of the pot to the street to find a craftsman who repairs pots and pans, and make a hole in the side of the lid of the pot, which is just enough to reach into the bamboo pipe, and as for the gap, seal it with molten iron.

Because they are acquaintances, they owe their wages first - the family really has no money.

At dusk, he built a stove out of waste bricks in the corner of the wall, built a small shelf next to the stove, and built a rectangular sink with bricks and lime to facilitate the condensation pipe.

Distillation equipment in place!

It's getting dark.

After Wu Pu came back, he didn't notice the changes in the courtyard, and Wu Hebi didn't dare to say it, and Dusk didn't take the initiative to mention it.

After dinner, Wu Pu randomly inspected and studied.

found that Dusk could read the full text of the "Three Character Classic", and couldn't help but secretly bow his head.

is worthy of being the nephew of the genius Huang Guan.

The foundation is good.

Although my brain was damaged by blisters, it was easier to read the book again, so I increased the difficulty of tomorrow's task: read the full text of "Hundred Family Names", and be able to write "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Names".

Dusk dismissively.

I want to slip away again.

was caught by Wu Pu and asked him to continue reading with Wu and Bi.

Wu and Bi watched "University", and at dusk previewed "Hundred Family Names".

Twilight resents this greatly.

This life is really lonely like an avalanche, I have read books for 19 years, and now I still have to read, partial life or the enlightenment textbook of the three-character scripture of hundreds of family names, can it not be boring.

I had to bow to reality again.

One is unwilling to live up to Wu Pu's kindness.

The second ...... If you don't read, you're illiterate.

Day 2.

After Wu Pu left, Dusk immediately took action, took out the lotus flower picked yesterday, a little speechless, it had withered and had no fragrance, so he had no choice but to go out of the city again, secretly found a lotus pond and picked a big hug back.

Lotus petals are broken off one leaf at a time for later use.

Put the brightly washed iron pot of Wu and Bi into the stove, pour water, put the lotus flower into the water, cover the pot, and in order to prevent the steam from escaping out and wasting, a dense layer of gauze is used around the edge of the lid.

Plug in a condenser pipe made of bamboo, and put cold water from a deep well in the condenser pipe sink.

Ready.

Slightly excited at dusk, I lit the fire myself.

The Ming Dynasty ignited an epoch-making fire!

Wu and Bizhang, who witnessed this scene, were confused.

I don't know why I boiled the flowers.

I don't understand what the long, crooked bamboo pipe is for.

Dusk is also not explained.

Put the glass basin from Xu Miaojin at the outlet of the condenser pipe, put the gauze prepared in advance aside, and then took a puff fan and sat aside.

The wait is always long.

There was a sudden creaking sound at the courtyard gate, and Wu Youbi, who was sweating profusely, turned around and found that it was Xu Yin with a sword at his waist.

Immediately, Xu Miaojin appeared.

Because he was traveling, he put on the hat that covered his face with a white veil.

Xu Miaojin walked in and saw this battle that he had never seen before, and was puzzled, "What are you going to do?" ”

Dusk smiled, "Chanel." ”

It's a flicker.

However, it was an idea, since it can refine flower oil, you can also try it in the future, maybe you can really make a perfume, which is much more high-end than a sachet or something.

Do you have to be a friend of the women of the Ming Dynasty?

I have arranged it and joined the startup schedule!

Xu Miaojin's mind was obviously not on this, he stood for a while, and said softly: "In the morning, Zhu Di issued an edict to spread the edict to all parts of the world, and the edict was written by Xie Jin, as you said, abolish the Jianwen era name, and this year it will be changed to the thirty-fifth year of Hongwu, and his era name will be Yongle." ”

Dusk absent-mindedly oh a word.

Isn't that obvious?

No one can stop the torrent of history, so they can only let it roll away, but it is also strange, why did it announce to the world so early and draw up the name of the era?

Xu Miaojin couldn't bear it, and said slightly angrily: "You don't care about these family and country affairs at all, you are also Huang Guan's nephew, as a scholar, shouldn't you care about family affairs, national affairs, and everything in the world?" ”

He didn't raise his head at dusk, and said to Wu and Bi: "Sister Jin, tell us that you are beautiful and cute, don't eat the fireworks in the world, and the sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, how long has it been since you have eaten white rice, dry rice and meat." ”

That's a wonderful statement.

Wu and Bi grunted, "It's been about a month or two." ”

Dusk and dark music.

Wu and Bi, a great Confucian in science, I didn't expect you to be such a Wu and Bi, very sensible, and capable of being a wingman.

Xu Miaojin was stunned.

She really didn't expect that Wu Pu, as the editor of the Hanlin Academy, would be so poor as a person who received the salary of the imperial court, so she still asked unwillingly: "Even if you want to make money, how can a scholar be so spineless, even if you go to write a book." Besides, what are you doing that really makes money? ”

Twilight smiled, "Yes!" ”

He immediately added: "But when the time comes, I still need Sister Jin to help me develop the market." ”

Xu Miaojin was stunned.

Expand the market?

I?

I didn't say anything about it at dusk, and said with a smile that Luoyang paper would be expensive.

Eyes lit up!

At the bottom of the condenser tube, a slightly cloudy drop of liquid finally appeared, and then two, three, four, or five drops.

Every drop is money!

The courtyard is full of fragrance, and the lotus leaves are infinitely green!

It's done!
