Chapter 22: Losing Conscience

A group of people converged and began to hurry back.

The sun was already very westerly, and there were still two hours before it set, and if you didn't get home before dark, the wild beasts in the mountains would be a serious threat.

Fortunately, when I went back, I brought a lot less things, hundreds of catties of meat were only a few dozen catties of lean meat, and hundreds of catties of big snakes were also sold, at this time it was more than two stones of grain and some small things, so everyone was a lot easier, so there was not much to say along the way, taking turns carrying food, and hurried down, and after more than an hour, I almost walked two-thirds of the way, and there were only six or seven miles left from the village, so everyone was relieved, and the pace slowly slowed down.

And when he arrived here, Chen Xu was already so hungry that his chest was close to his back, his legs were like being filled with lead, and he was sweating profusely when he took a step, and at the same time, he also expressed very serious protest and contempt for the habit of eating only two meals a day.

The tradition of ordinary people only eating two meals a day is very ancient, and it has continued until the Ming and Qing dynasties, mainly the ancient people's habit of sunrise and sunset, breakfast time is arranged at about nine o'clock in the morning, called morning food, and start working after eating, and in the afternoon before the sun sets, it is almost four or five o'clock to eat dinner, called feeding, also known as Shen food, which means the meal eaten in the afternoon, and after dinner, clean up and take a bath, it is almost dark, and then go to sleep, because there is no electric light and no TV, There are no entertainment facilities and programs such as bars and nightclubs, so in addition to resting when sleeping, men and women can entertain themselves in bed, and single dogs can only entertain themselves.

"Brother Xu, you just asked the master craftsman to help you make a big iron pot, why don't you just ask him to help you make a copper pot, it's simple and ......convenient," Niu Dashi asked as he walked beside him while nibbling on a sour wild fruit.

"The copper pot is poisonous, don't use the copper pot to cook in the future!" Chen Xu replied weakly.

"What? Copper pots are poisonous? Not only did Niu Dashi's surprised wild fruit almost drop, but the other villagers were also very puzzled, and began to ask why?

Why can't a bronze pot be used to cook rice?

Even after more than 2,000 years and into the late twentieth century, I am afraid that many people still do not understand this question.

But in the 21st century, when Western medicine began to flourish, the concept of metal poisoning was slowly accepted.

The main components of bronze alloy are copper and tin, but it also contains lead, aluminum, beryllium, manganese, chromium, phosphorus and other elements, including copper, many of which are toxic metals.

Before the Qin and Han dynasties, the richer the people would use a large number of bronze utensils, such as kettles, woks, tripods, zun, mustaches, jue, etc., which could only be used by princes, nobles and wealthy families, while poor people could only use clay pots and pots.

Chen Xu even suspected that the reason why ancient people did not live long was not only because of food shortages, wars and low medical standards, but also because of chronic heavy metal poisoning caused by the massive use of bronze vessels to cook and store food.

Anyway, in the end, Chen Xu still didn't explain to a group of hillbillies what metal poisoning is, and he couldn't explain it clearly, if you want to say that copper is poisonous, they will ask why iron is not poisonous.

But Chen Xu's recent series of performances have also given the villagers a hint of respect and fear.

"Xiao Xu said that if it is toxic, it is poisonous, and everyone will not use it in the future!" Uncle Ma made a final decision and forcibly suppressed everyone's doubts.

"We can't afford to use it even if we want to!" A villager smiled and said, "My family can't even afford a clay pot, and I heard that only the old men in the city can use it!" ”

"Hehe, I hope all those bullshit masters are poisoned!" Niu Dashi said with a mouth full of green foam.

Jealousy, this is a naked hatred of the rich!

Chen Xu glanced at Niu Dashi with disdain, and there was a big gap in the future brother-in-law of this poor family, who was ugly and kind, and especially hated the rich, if it was possible in the future, it would be better to change a brother-in-law as much as possible, for example, Xiang Yu is a good candidate, not only brave but also never abandon his own woman, and he also took Yu Ji with him before he died, but he hasn't met it yet.

I don't know how beautiful that Yu Ji is, so that a generation of heroes and heroes of Xichu can't let go of it when they die, and even have to die with her.

Yu Ji, according to her age, should be ...... by now Almost......

Chen Xu calculated in his heart for a long time, but he didn't figure out whether Yu Ji was born or not.

Because the history books only record that Yu Ji is a beautiful woman, the birth of the same eight characters, because of the unparalleled posture, elegant dancing and Xiang Yu favored, in the West Chu overlord was surrounded and embattled and had nowhere to escape, Yu Meiren still refused to leave Xiang Yu, and finally killed himself in order not to drag Xiang Yu to break through, this is the story of the famous overlord Farewell Concubine in history.

As the saying goes, a gentleman doesn't win people's love, but maybe Yu Ji hasn't been born yet, and she doesn't know Xiang Yu at all.

And Xiang Yu is now about ten years old, well, compared with his sister, at least it is more than a hundred times stronger than walking next to this naïve and naïve green bubble boiling the whole frog to settle accounts, and he is already fourteen years old, and his mind is full of guys who want to desperately spoil his sister and keep making babies.

Therefore, as soon as the idea of marrying his sister to Xiang Yu came out, Chen Xu instantly felt that his coffin board in the future life could no longer be suppressed after more than two thousand years of time and space, and he had to jump up and drink a glass of wine to be quiet.

If my sister marries Xiang Yu, how should the battle between Chu and Han be broken next?

Can you help your brother-in-law win Liu Bang's victory and finally establish a fierce Great Chu Empire?

And...... Xiang Yu, a guy who doesn't like to read, will he abuse or even abandon his sister after meeting Yu Meiren, and then even snap himself?

This is very likely, men are animals who think on the lower body, especially when they are young, they wake up every morning with a pillar of optimus, and their thoughts will be very simple and direct.

If this is the case, is it necessary to cut off the possibility of Xiang Yu and Yu Ji knowing, and find the woman named Yu Ji in advance, well, it may not be born yet, but it is necessary to prevent trouble, and the art of war: those who do not plan for a time do not plan for a lifetime, for the happiness of their sister and the long-term peace and stability of the future family, find Yu Ji in advance and then ...... Take it for yourself......

Chen Xu was very entangled, whether it was too unconscionable to take it for himself.

Others may not have been born yet, or they may be only a year or two old or even a few months old.

Along the way, Chen Xu's head was like a computer with a virus, the operating system began to be confused, and all kinds of strange ideas emerged.

Then before he could figure it out, as a few villagers shouted excitedly, after turning a corner, he could already see a small river at the foot of the mountain, and more than a dozen thatched huts scattered among the green trees.

It's already home.
