Chapter 7 There Are Only Four Metals in This Era!?
Walking on the small mountain road of Sow Mountain, four miles away from Ramie Village, Yang Zilu couldn't help but sigh that ancient resources were really rich. In Yang Zilu's field of vision, one person can't hold a big tree, and you can easily see one or two. If it is placed in modern times, it is not a wishing tree, a tree in a national scenic spot, don't think there is such a big one, some of them have been cut down.
Suddenly, Yang Zilu's eyes lit up, and he saw a plant that he didn't expect, and there were quite a few of them. On the branch hangs a long, curved lentil-like fruit.
Zheng Datian saw Yang Zilu's eyes wide open and looked at these fruits that looked like lentils, shook his head and said: "Childe, this is not lentils, our people here call him poisonous beans, don't look at him eating like lentils, after eating his stomach, it didn't take long for him to start vomiting, and many people died after eating it." ”
When Yang Zilu heard this, he smiled and said, "Ha! Ha! Uncle Zheng, you don't know what this does! Where to eat! This is the best thing to do laundry and bathing! In my hometown, it's called the soaphorn tree, and this lentil-like thing is called soap fruit! ”
In fact, from the word 'soap', you can already see what effect this plant has.
However, Zheng Datian still didn't believe it, shook his head and said, "How is this possible? ”
"Hehe, Uncle Zheng, it's useless for me to say more here, you'll know when I get back when I make it!" Yang Zilu didn't say much, facts speak louder than words.
When Zheng Datian heard this, he scratched his head, not knowing what to say, so he could only nod in the end. Suddenly thought of a topic, and changed his words: "Childe, do you have anything you want to buy, I will go to the city this time and buy it for you!" ”
When Yang Zilu heard this, she thought about it for a while, she really had something to buy. Yang Zilu opened his mouth and said, "Uncle Zheng! What is the best way to make a bowstring? ”
When Zheng Datian heard this, he tilted his head, touched his somewhat messy beard with his fingers and thought, "Oh, old man, I heard that the hunters in the village use the tendons of the deer and the big snake in the mountains to make bowstrings, and the people in the city hear that they use cow tendons and horse mane to make bowstrings. What's wrong? Childe, do you want to make a bow? Don't bother, the old boy has a bow at home! ”
When Yang Zilu heard this, she couldn't help but be a little stunned, and asked, "Uncle Zheng, do you still know how to shoot arrows?" ”
"It's natural! Although we are not aristocrats, we must learn the six arts of the Zhou ceremony. But they are all people who live in the wilderness, and they have to learn archery anyway, and when the mountain cross-country people go down the mountain, or the wild bear comes, they also have to protect the villagers. Besides, if you give birth to a son, you must hang a bow outside the door, otherwise the child will not grow up. Naturally, you always have a bow at home! When Uncle Zheng heard this, he was a little angry, thinking that Yang Zilu looked down on him as a common person.
Yang Zilu didn't know about this custom yet, and scratched her head a little embarrassed. Diverting the topic, he said, "Well, then Uncle Zheng will help me sell me an axe, a saw, a bowstring made of cow tendon and horseman." Oh yes! Buy a bowl and come back. ”
"The rest is fine, but the saw? What came from? And the bowl? When Zheng Datian heard this, he was really diverted by Yang Zilu. Questions full of doubts. Zheng Datian found that he was communicating with Yang Zilu more and more, and he didn't know what he said.
Yang Zilu had to explain, but Uncle Zheng said that there was no such thing.
Yang Zilu could only change his words: "Then buy a knife and a thick wooden bowl!" ”
Zheng Datian said with a smile: "Where can I buy this thing like a wooden bowl, just make it yourself!" Childe won't, the old child still has a little effort, let the old child come! ”
When Yang Zilu heard this, she said a little embarrassedly: "That's troublesome Uncle Zheng!" ”
"It's okay! It's okay! When Zheng Datian heard this, he was a little flattered and responded. Xindao: When did the nobles also say thank you to us ordinary people? Well, it's a great feeling!
If Yang Zilu knew about it, he would definitely be sweating profusely, and he, a nobleman, would blow it out. The six arts of a gentleman mentioned by Zheng Datian just now are: etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics.
Courtesy? Yang Zilu just kneels, bows his hands, shakes hands, and makes a few, and bumps into a real nobleman, then it is really a fake Li Kui meets the real Li Kui, and this lie is pierced at once.
Happy? Yang Zilu also likes music, and after listening to it too much, he can hum it even if he can't compose. But the problem is that Yang Zilu listens to trendy songs and listens to classical music, and it is already a save to give you sleep in less than five minutes.
Shoot? Yang Zilu went to a nearby playground to play archery, but there were only two experiences in total, and he shot only thirty arrows, or with a modern pulley bow, even so, the distance of thirty meters is only the result of one heart in ten arrows, and two or three arrows will miss the target. Not to mention the likes of a hundred steps through the Yang.
Manage? This is driving a carriage, in modern times, Yang Zilu can't even ride a horse, let alone drive four horses to pull a military chariot.
Book? I know a lot about this, but it's all modern books. Ancient books such as the Analects have also been touched for a while, and the problem is that the Analects do not seem to have come out yet. But it's okay to fool the common people.
Number? This Yang Zilu still has the confidence to overpower the ancients, but then again, among the six, Yang Zilu is proficient in one of them, and one understands books and archery and etiquette. Overall, Yang Zilu can only be regarded as a copycat version of the aristocracy.
Besides, Yang Zilu helped Zheng Datian chop firewood together, to be precise, Zheng Datian cut it down, Yang Zilu picked it up, and tied it up again. However, seeing Zheng Datian's bronze axe, Yang Zilu looked at it and was depressed. It's actually bronze, not iron. While chopping wood and talking, Yang Zilu knew that there were no metals such as iron now.
There are only so many kinds of metals now, gold, copper, tin, lead, etc., maybe there are Zheng Datian who don't know, after all, Zheng Datian is also a common person, and it is great to know so much. However, it is estimated that iron has not yet appeared, or has only been found on a small scale.
