Chapter 120: The Generational Gap

Chapter 120: Generation Difference

This work is not labor-intensive, it can be completed by a group of children, Su You is ready to set a shift system, all to familiarize themselves with the new process, and experience the efficiency brought by wisdom.

But these are the later words, and now they are still in the festival, today is the day of the people, and the food for the festival is "seven vegetable soup".

Similar to Laba congee, it is made by chopping seven kinds of vegetables into a soup, which is said to be a blessing for the New Year and to prevent all kinds of diseases.

With the picky taste of Su oil, it can't be too simple, among which vegetables, he chose woad, lettuce, winter bamboo shoots, radish, dried mushrooms, water chestnuts, mustard.

The bacon sausages are almost windy, everyone is working, and he leads Shi Wei to guard the smoking shed, which is smoked with peanut shells, pine and cypress branches, chaff, sawdust, and spices.

Then the sausages are chopped and boiled together in porridge, which is both vegetable and rice.

After eating seven vegetable soups, Su You disbanded the firecrackers and distributed them to the babies to go crazy.

After today, life is going to be normal again, and the breakfast shed has made a reputation, but it can't be left behind, and it is also an important place for babies to hone their life skills.

Su You held a copper bowl and buckled it to the ground, revealing a slit, and lit the firecracker fuse inside with a stick stick.

After lighting it, he quickly buckled the bowl and ran to the edge of a large circle formed by the babies: "Ready-"

"Boom!" Large firecrackers exploded, and the copper bowl flew into the air like a flying saucer.

The babies screamed and rushed towards the take-off point, stretching out their hands and jumping to grab the copper bowl that fell from the highest point.

This game can be played a hundred times without getting tired, and Su You did not forget to brainwash the babies: "The essence of the explosion is that after the gunpowder encounters fire, it oxidizes from solid particles into a large amount of gas in a short period of time, and the gas pushes the copper bowl to fly into the air." ”

After playing for a while, Su You led the babies to transform the firecrackers, tied the two firecrackers to the bamboo sticks, and washed off part of the mud at the bottom of the seal, the upper firecracker fuse was long, and the lower one was short.

Stick a bamboo stick into the ground, light the fuse together, and with a "whoosh", the firecracker is sent into the air, and then explodes in the sky.

Shi Wei was very interested in this thing, Su You was secretly worried, and pulled her aside: "Wei'er, this thing is very dangerous, it will hurt people if it is large, you are not allowed to go and have fun with my brother, see him playing with sulfur, charcoal, fire and other things, run away." ”

After speaking, he pondered for a while: "No, in this way, in the past few days, I have cast a set of weights, based on the weight of one cubic decimeter of distilled water, according to the decimal system to divide the weight class, and obtain a new weight unit, which is convenient for him to carry out chemical calculations. ”

There is no way, precision weights and measures, only from the laboratory application first, the name can only be called chemical catty, chemical two, chemical money, chemical points, respectively, corresponding to the distilled water measurement method of kilograms, 100 grams, 10 grams, grams.

As for the finer ones, leave it to Zhang Tianshi to figure it out himself, isn't he a genius? The method told him that there were a lot of talents in the Daomen, and it was not his turn to worry about it.

……

Meishan City is still immersed in the festive atmosphere, but life has been back on track.

The merchants who traveled early began to gather gradually, and there were several more kinds of food in the early shed.

A poem, an article, and a person gradually spread among the Meishan scholar class.

"Title Lan Stone Map", "Telling the Ancestors", Su Mingrun.

Many scholars held yellow wattle sticks in their hands, and scolded while smoking their own children: "Look at other people's children, look at other people's Su Mingrun!" ”

The baby was not convinced, and stalked his neck to distinguish: "He has no father or mother since he was a child, father, are you sure you really want me to become him?!" ”

……

The businessmen are interested in the fact that Meizhou City has produced many new goods in the past six months.

Snow salt is a good thing, and for the first time, Da Song salt surpassed Xixia green salt in quality, and there was no miscellaneous taste at all.

Jade porcelain is also amazing, many large porcelain dealers have seen the imperial kiln Jun porcelain, regardless of the glaze type, single fetal quality, white as snow strong just better than jade, with a conscience has won the imperial kiln.

The color is also elegant, concise and abstract, which makes people think about it, which is in line with the elegant aesthetic taste of the Great Song Dynasty.

Tie-dyeing cotton and linen, for the first time to enhance the color to the degree of exquisite beauty, in addition to the ingenuity of printing and dyeing techniques, through the safflower, gardenia, indigo three kinds of plants to get the rich primary color, in the Su oil reminder, theoretically can be mixed out of thousands of colors.

The book, the book is also amazing, the handwriting is strong and beautiful, as thin as silk thread, the arrangement is correct, the paper is extremely high-quality, a shaking and loud sound, open a woody fragrance to the face, this is ...... Borneol?!

The cover is pale green, and there is a light blue bamboo shadow on the top, this set of "The Complete Works of Du Gongbu", the printing quality is thrown out of all the current printing workshops several streets, it is said that Taishou has been ready to present to the imperial court, presented to the imperial court.

It's not so easy to imitate all of this, using books as an example, do you see it on the title page? Ordinary five small words, isn't it? But when you look through the light, do you see anything strange?

Sure enough, the watermark can be seen through the light, the upper left is a branch of bluegrass, the lower right is mossy stone, a large blank space is the water pattern that the crest of the wave is extremely close to the crest but not connected, and there is a box in the middle, which is actually two lines of text - "Meishan Chengshe House Publishing, has applied to the boss, and is not allowed to cover the board." ”

This is the anti-piracy measure used by the Great Song Dynasty, called "Pai Ji".

But other people's cards are printed in the light, for fear that others will not see it, the Cheng family's cards, actually hidden in the dark, do not pay attention to it and can't see it, this is to tell other bookstores - you have the ability to imitate it!

What does it mean to pretend to be elegant? That's it!

The paper watermark is actually very simple, the stone paper is pressed in three layers, and the middle layer is pressed on a copper plate carved with ornamentation when it is not yet dry, rolled with a roller, and then sandwiched in the middle of the other two layers to press it into paper.

It's easy to say, but just paper production involves sulfate cooking technology and stone powder addition ratio.

This in turn involves the purification of miscanthus nitrate and the method of water fly milling.

Printing ink, involving oil blending, milling, fragrance, mechanical tempering.

Watermarking, involving brass smelting, fine mold reproduction, welding.

Printing, which involves fine cutting, binding.

Cover, involving two-color precision overprint......

There are dozens of technologies added up, which forms the difference between Meishan Jiangqing industry and the rest of the places - generation difference.

For example, if other bookstores want to make books like Chengjia Bookstore, they need to overcome many problems one by one, and for them, it is simply difficult.

Moreover, it also involves the cooperative relationship with several other companies, such as printing, which is inseparable from the metallurgical technology of the Shi family, the porcelain-making technology of the Shi family, and the color mixing technology of the Su family.

The only one who can break this game is currently only one place in the whole world - royal.

However, the royal family generally does not come to compete for the benefit of books, the reason is extremely simple, the Great Song Dynasty royal family, and the scholars rule the world together!

Jiang Qing's family, but they are all hard-branded scholars!

All of these, the price can not be set too low, otherwise there is a suspicion of relying on technology to oppress peers, such as "The Complete Works of Du Gongbu", which can only be set to eight sets, Meizhou books, the name of the world, has been spread among scholars.

So Cheng Wenying leaned on the door every day: "Why hasn't Xiaoyou come to see me?" I miss this kid......"
