Chapter 34 New Year's Trivia

The sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year, and always replaces the new peach with the old charm.

The atmosphere is warm, the disturbing New Year's Pass, and then until the end of the night, there are all kinds of things. Even in the identity of a son-in-law, it is impossible to avoid these things, and the various visits that Su Tan'er asked Ning Yi to accompany him a few years ago are to prepare for this period of time. If it is a relative in the family, Su Tan'er and Ning Yi will go together, if they go out, most of them will follow Su Boyong, after all, Su Tan'er has not officially taken over the Su family's big house at this time, and he just talked about business a year ago, and the first imitation of this kind of symbolic town after the year still has to be led by Su Boyong.

Before the New Year, Song Mao, the governor who visited many people back and forth, left Jiangning. And because of Song Mao's few good words, Ning Yi's status in Su Mansion at this time was more valued. In terms of subordinates, there would naturally not be any servants who bullied the master before, but there were not many people to deal with him, and the rest were naturally indifferent, and there were a lot more enthusiastic servants at this time, but this matter was dispensable for Ning Yi.

In terms of the master, what three less, four less, five less, and six less obviously have no good eyes on Ning Yi - in the past, he was just indifferent, but now he has to be vigilant. Of course, they couldn't do anything, because the old lady obviously paid more attention to Ning Yi. With the exam in the library building, Ning Yi's weight was obviously too heavy, the Su family was all knotted in the heart of the old lady of Zhilu Dao, and he always hoped that the Su family could produce some literati and take off his identity as a businessman a little.

No matter how rich a businessman is, once something happens, he can't protect himself, just let those who are officials rub and pinch him. The literati are different, as long as they have fame, no matter how shabby they are, they will always have the ability to speak for themselves. The Wu Dynasty was named after martial arts, and it was originally established by martial arts, but at the beginning of the founding of the country, there were several major turmoil, and the above learned a lesson, so he ruled the world with scholars, and now it is also like the Song Dynasty known to Ning Yi.

Since Ning Yi let the old lady see this hope, he naturally paid more attention to it. Especially during the New Year's greetings, the conversation between the old lady and Ning Yi was obviously much longer than that of others, and others also looked at it. The main thing is that the old man wants to talk to Ning Yi about reading, school, and other things, Ning Yi also casually said some entertaining truths, the old lady doesn't understand this, he is more likely to accept the stick out of filial piety, strict teachers out of high apprentices, but he is used to being a family member also has a benefit, for professionals, never point fingers, listen happily, and only say: "If there is disobedience, even if you discipline, you can discipline it as much as you want." ”

Then he sighed: "Brother Zi'an has a good grandson...... here is Ning Yi's grandfather.

The old lady is not in poor health now, and her spirit is also strong, although she does not have much control over her grandchildren, she seems to be kind and comfortable, and she is in harmony with the light, but her grasp of this family is by no means ambiguous. In today's Su family, no one dares to touch his old man's head at will on such a thing, after this conversation on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Ning Yi's white eyes and gossip are indispensable, and even a lot more. But if you want to move him, make trouble for Su Tan'er, and dismantle the old man's platform, I'm afraid there are very few of them.

However, although the school has been suspended now, when he occasionally meets Su Chonghua, he can also feel a trace of vigilance in the other party's eyes, which makes Ning Yi feel a little funny.

These are just some changes he feels, for Ning Yi, whether there are these changes or not, he doesn't care too much, people at a low level can't turn over the monstrous waves, and people who can roll their eyes can only make people roll their eyes even if they rack their brains to do something, I'm afraid they can only make people roll their eyes. During the day, they usually run here and there, and occasionally in some businessmen's homes that have a cooperative relationship with Su Fu, how many people who know Ning Yi's fame will also call some children who read books to "get close" to Ning Yi, which is also goodwill, of course, the other party has only read a few poems and texts, and they have a little trouble.

Since the Mid-Autumn Festival came out with a water tune song head, Ning Yi has basically never appeared in the mainstream topic circle of Jiangning, and now the water tune song head is still singing every day, and the discussion about him has basically lost its heat. If you really talk about it, this guy is twenty years old this year, the son-in-law of Su Fu, teaching in the inconspicuous Yushan Academy, and it is said that he also got some kind of weird blackboard, and almost does not interact with the literati, although this hermit-like life is strange, but at most he is a strange person. , long-sleeved literati who are good at dancing may become famous faster, and there are many otaku literati who are not good at this at all, but it is relatively rare to be amazed by such a word as the other party.

Since the conversation that night, the relationship with Su Tan'er has become much closer. In the past, Su Tan'er treated Ning Yi the way she treated nerds, always trying to dominate the situation. After initially "understanding" Ning Yi, she relaxed a lot, both of them were "weirdos", this kind of cognition made her feel very satisfied, mainly because Ning Yi didn't mind her showing up to do business, and occasionally talked to Ning Yi about some merchants more casually, sometimes mentioning some problems, and then talking to Ning Yi about her solution, and asked: "What do you think?" Of course, it's more about satisfying her desire to communicate and express herself. After all, there are too few people who can understand and accept her, even if she can talk to Xiaochan and others occasionally, but it is no different from talking to herself, and being able to talk about business with someone like Ning Yi who has nothing to do with business is naturally a good relaxation for her.

Ning Yi naturally teased a few words in agreement, or showed a somewhat admiring expression. Su Tan'er felt satisfied. This desire to express has nothing to do with the level of ability, no matter how high the ability is, people occasionally feel depressed, hoping that at least someone can know the Tao in their hearts, and this person is best irrelevant. It's the same decompression method of digging a hole in the suburbs, telling the secret in your heart and burying it.

Of course, most of the exchanges are still completely irrelevant gossip, go back at night, eat, tell stories, and play backgammon, Su Tan'er, who originally thought that Ning Yi's stories were a bit child's play, also sounded purely relaxed at this time, occasionally let Ning Yi say more, or play backgammon to show off a few words proudly, in fact, playing backgammon is Xiaochan's most talented and wins the most. And Ning Yi is the most difficult, if he gets serious, he will never be busy winning chess, as long as the opponent has two chess pieces placed together, he will immediately go to block it, and block it all the time, until the other party feels aggrieved in his heart, and after a large piece of chess board is placed, he will launch a counterattack when the other party is not paying attention.

His style of playing chess is the most unbearable for the three little girls, and in the warm room at night, there are occasional protests from Chan'er, Juan'er, and Xing'er: "Uncle is too laid." Su Tan'er has the strongest learning ability, and she is also not lacking in patience, she pursed her mouth and blocked Ning Yi boringly to see who survived the longest. Once the two of them filled the entire Go board and played a draw, and the three little girls whispered beside them, saying that Miss Grandpa was a monster. Two days after this situation, Ning Yi smiled helplessly: "Why do you and I kill each other like this......" Su Tan'er, who was blocking the chess pieces with a serious face, finally couldn't help but purse her lips and laugh, and then blocked Ning Yi's chess pieces with a smile.

Since then, the two have developed some tacit understanding, and they no longer use this pure test of patience to play chess with each other.

Su Tan'er occasionally asked Ning Yi about what he wanted to do, and Ning Yi often made a comparison: "Now, here you have to make a cylinder out of iron sheet and put it vertically...... You can pour water and cool it down when you get here...... However, to resist strong acids, I also have to increase the concentration of sulfuric acid, uh, that is, the concentration of the water, the problem is that it is difficult for me to increase it without a container that is resistant to strong acid, and if the concentration cannot be increased, it is difficult for me to make a container that is resistant to strong acid, which becomes a question of chicken laying eggs or egg-laying chickens...... However, it is not easy to make glass...... Uh, do you understand? ”

Since she wanted to ask, Ning Yi didn't care, so she said casually. Su Tan'er just asked casually, and was stunned at this time: "Uh...... Messire...... What the hell are you trying to do? ”

"Oh, what to eat, if you want to think specifically...... It's about the same as salt. Well, kelp soup, kelp soup tastes very good, right, we boil 100 catties of kelp into soup, filter, and dry the water, and we can probably get a little bit of the same thing as salt, but the purity is not high, but it will taste good when you put it in the dish...... Well, that's it. ”

"Uh...... Seaweed soup ...... Cook with the essence of 100 pounds of kelp...... How many dishes can you make? ”

"A bowl of food should be fine." Ning Yi blinked, "So the consumption is too great, I want to use another method to make it." ”

“…… Oh. Su Tan'er nodded, dragging her face with one hand, looking like her egg hurts—no, she has a toothache. If you make something casually, it can be equivalent to the essence of 100 catties of kelp, which sounds very powerful, but ...... The kelp soup is not necessarily very delicious...... "Xianggong is a weird person...... in the end, she still honestly said her feelings.

What Ning Yi wants to do is monosodium glutamate.

He had previous experience in this area, at least for the modern industrial process of MSG production, but honestly, the process was meaningless. Acid-resistant containers, fermentation enzymes, what kind of bacteria, crystal breeding, freezing, temperature control...... These things are very simple after a thousand years, in the Wu Dynasty, it is purely a fool's dream, but in addition to knowing the most modern production process of Lu Dao, he only knows the history of the purification of monosodium glutamate from kelp soup, the span in between, the original simple industrial method is completely unclear. If he wanted to make monosodium glutamate step by step, he first had to lead half of the industrial revolution.

Of course, it is not his character to sit still, MSG is something to try anyway, in the past few months, he has drawn out a basic flow chart, and when he is bored, he thinks about alternative ways, he has been walking around the various markets in Jiangning a few years ago, measuring the development of this world, and even found a book like "Mengxi Writings" to study.

Of course, as he said to Su Tan'er, this is indeed the concept of playing when there is nothing to do, he does not expect results to appear in a few years, and naturally he will not find a team to get something out, the emergence of countless derivative products in the middle can be big or small, and it is enough to do a basic investigation at present. Other than these things, he couldn't find many interesting goals to do in this day and age.

Of course, there are other things that interest him, or rather, he is even more interested in than MSG.

Learn martial arts.

On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he went out with Su Tan'er and others, and he saw the legendary real martial arts master for the first time, although it was not as tall as in the TV movie, but it was true, quite high......
