It wasn't until the afternoon of the fourth day that Mao Geng woke up from his slumber, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Su Zhiyan with a happy face and a little haggard.

Su Zhiyan said with a sigh of relief:

"You're finally awake!"

It was rare for Su Zhiyan to give herself a good look, Mao Geng also grinned and said loudly:

"How long have I been asleep?"

Fuzhen on the side replied crisply:

"Brother Mao, you have slept for four whole days, and Sister Su has been with you all the time!"

When Mao Geng heard this, he suddenly said:

"Your eldest brother's character is too poor, and he was punished by the Bodhisattva for four days in bed, how can he be worthy of Sister Su's attention!"

Su Zhiyan laughed when she heard this, and said angrily:

"Yes, the Bodhisattva will punish you, see if you still lie!"

But Su Zhiyan immediately showed a frightened look and said:

"At that time, you suddenly planted, the illness was so serious, the whole body burned like hot coal, even Mr. Tan was a little helpless, tried his best, and then took a medicinal bath, which subsided some fever, and he couldn't wake up for four consecutive days, which made people so worried! It's also that I shouldn't have asked you to go to that bamboo forest, I regret it, I'm afraid you'll never wake up again. ”

After saying that, his eyes turned red, and Mao Geng only felt that this girl was like two people before and after, and he was also a little moved in his heart. In the morning, when I was in a daze and about to wake up, I listened to Su Zhiyan talking to herself, and said for a while, "Why is your nose no longer a little higher!" Well, it's a little collapsed, "it's fine", and after a while, he says, "The lips are a little thicker, and it would look better if they were thinner!" It is said that people with thick lips don't lie, but you still lie with thick lips", Su Zhiyan's self-talk was heard by Mao Geng in a daze, and now when she thinks about it, she can't help but feel a little more pity for Su Zhiyan. Originally, Su Zhiyan was just a sixteen-year-old girl in the flower season, such an age is naturally the season of dreams, of course, the person in her dream is both handsome and capable, and she must take good care of her. It is best for this person to be as handsome as Feng Saburo, take care of her like Feng Saburo, and at the same time be as strong as Mao Geng.

However, women look at men, as long as men are not too ugly, women look at them and look at them, and Su Zhiyan may be in the process of looking at herself more and more pleasing to the eye.

Su Zhiyan is at a dreamy age, and many naïve thoughts come and go quickly, and sometimes even she herself may not know what she must have. It's just that if the elders are in a hurry, she is afraid that the rebellious psychology in her heart will become stronger and stronger, and the result may backfire.

Thinking of this, Mao Geng's mood turned relaxed, and then a question came to mind:

"Aren't you also in the woods, how can you be safe?"

Su Zhiyan pursed her lips proudly and said:

"You don't understand this, I was born in the mountains since I was a child, of course I will be fine! You came from the north, where have you seen the power of miasma, and thanks to your strong growth, you have escaped this hurdle. ”

Mao Geng knew that the so-called miasma was actually a virus gas generated in a high temperature and humid environment without cleaning up the animal carcasses in time, in short, he was infected by the virus, which induced a serious illness with heat symptoms. Su Zhiyan should have developed antibodies to the virus, so she has no symptoms.

saw Su Zhiyan's face suddenly turned red, and she whispered:

"This time, I am sorry for you, and I will be kind to you in the future, but you are not allowed to lie again."

Speaking of the sentence that you are not allowed to lie, Su Zhiyan was full of coquettishness, which made Mao Geng's heart drunk. immediately remembered that Su Zhiyan is still a carrier of the virus, but the virus has no threat to Su Zhiyan for the time being, but looking at her tired face, Su Zhiyan should be very tired in the past four days. Thinking of this, I advised:

"I'm fine, but you, take some Bupleurum cordata first, and then get a good night's sleep, don't be like me."

Su Zhiyan thought about it, her father and brother were all blue-eyed to this Mao Geng, maybe she really wanted to walk with this person in this life, it was rare for him to have this thoughtfulness, so she agreed at the moment and went to sleep next door. She was really tired, and she barely slept well for a few hours in the past four days, and fell asleep as soon as she went to bed.

Su Yuanwai asked Su Zhiyan to come here with Su Zhidao, which was also to let Su Zhiyan and Mao Geng spend more time together, after all, Su Yuanwai didn't want to force his beloved daughter. And Feng Saburo is becoming more and more unbearable in the eyes of Su Yuanwai, and the Su family will never choose Feng Saburo when choosing a son-in-law. Although the Su family and the Feng family have some relatives, they have never stopped fighting openly and secretly, for the sake of the prosperity of the family, Su Yuanwai also believes that Mao Geng is a good son-in-law, at least, compared to Feng Saburo, who is the same as his son, Mao Geng will be much more creative in the future. Don't look at Mao Geng is now forced to hide from the government, but everyone can see that this is just a small bump in the road, and Mao Geng's future is limitless after that, and, looking at this sign, Mao Geng may really be able to help the Su family become one of the few wealthy families in Shaozhou.

Mao Geng got up the next day, feeling that his body had almost recovered, and Tan Xiuzhu had already checked his pulse last night and confirmed that there was no major problem. Fu Guoxi solemnly proposed that Mao Geng should follow him to start practicing every day, which was what Fu Mother-in-law promised Mao Geng, and now he has to practice.

Early this morning, Fu Guoxi came to teach Mao Geng to practice his exercises to help his family, it was not difficult at first, just some superficial introductory kung fu, Mao Geng also felt that he really needed to have a good body, and finally crossed over, if he could hang up in a daze, wouldn't it be wronged! With great interest, he followed Fuguo Xi to practice Fumen kung fu. The method of practicing in Fumen is to practice in the morning and take a medicinal bath in the evening, according to Fuguoxi, after half a year, there will be no miasma invading the body.

After practicing the exercises and having a clear mind, Mao Geng began to check the preparations for firing cement one by one.

There is no technical content of the water mill, Tan Qi is very competitive, and accurately comprehends his own two-stage water mill design ideas, and the two-stage water mill built along the slope of the stream basically realizes the function of automatic stone crushing and powdering.

The first stage of the two-stage water mill is to break the large stone into small stones, the mortar of the water mill - that is, the conical pool with a large top and a small bottom - is not completely closed, and an iron mesh is provided on the outward side, and the small stones smaller than the iron mesh mesh after the gravel are 6 continue to flow down the inclined ditch to the mortar of the second stage of the water mill, and the second stage of the water mill further crushes the gravel into stone powder. Similarly, the second stage is also equipped with a strainer that can leak out the stone dust, so that the stone powder can be added from the first stage to the second stage and automatically flow out, as long as the stone dust is collected in the pool below the second stage.

Tan Qi also brought Mao Geng a bigger surprise, and the ball mill with Tan Qi as the main manufacturer of zuò was also successful! This greatly exceeded Mao Geng's expectations. This ball mill, which is mainly made of wooden parts, has a diameter of three feet and a length of two feet, in addition to the wooden drum is covered with a layer of iron sheet, and the rotary shaft is also made of wood, and the shaft is made thick enough to withstand impact.

Mao Geng immediately asked Tan Qi to demonstrate the ball mill grinding powder on the spot, Tan Qi added crushed stone and crude stone powder step by step, and then put in iron balls of different sizes, then closed the material hole and closed the clutch. Driven by hydraulic power, the ball mill began to rotate, and after half an hour, the ball mill was stopped, the material cover was opened, and all that leaked out was a fine powder.

It was rare for Su Zhiyan to accompany Mao Geng, always guarding the side, the round drum turning, Su Zhiyan listened curiously to the endless thumping sound, and then witnessed the fine powder poured out of the round drum. Su Zhiyan couldn't help but ask curiously why Mao Geng was so magical, so Mao Geng patiently explained to her how the iron ball inside was thrown into the air by centrifugal force, and how it was hit downward by gravity on crushed stone and crude stone powder, and so on, and so on, and this is how the fine powder is ground up. Hearing this, Su Zhiyan seemed to understand whether she understood or not, but her eyes showed more appreciation for Mao Geng.

It is more troublesome to knead raw meal balls, but fortunately, there are enough manpower, iron ore powder, clay, and pulverized coal have been prepared before, and even Su Zhiyan has joined the ranks of kneading raw meal balls with great interest, and has kneaded enough raw meal balls for a kiln before the noon meal. Mao Geng decided to start firing cement after lunch.

Unexpectedly, at noon, Dun Erbao brought 20 catties of tea oil to see Mao Geng, Mao Geng saw that there was a big "Chi brand" on the oil drum, and then he listened to Dun Erbao proudly introduce the "Chi brand" tea oil.

From the mouth of Dun Erbao, Mao Geng learned that the original new "Baixi Journal" was Wen Yuan's idea, and the gossip story that alluded to Feng Saburo was naturally due to Wen Yuan.

Wen Yuan in order to sell the tea oil of the Dun family, at the beginning of the thought of a number of ways but not to improve, no other, people are driven by habitual thinking, they recognize lard, rapeseed oil, do not recognize tea oil, Wen Yuan pondered and meditated, thinking of Kang Lao after a hype in the academic magazine, and now he has become a local generation of Confucianism, since it can turn people into gods, it can naturally turn ordinary things into gods.

Wen Yuan had an idea, so he engraved the "Baixi Journal" by himself, and was stunned to compile a well-known "Chipai" tea oil allusion. Wen Yuan compiled this story, it is about the beginning of the Chi You family, once seriously injured, was rescued by the ancestors of the Dun family, in a hurry, the ancestors of the Dun family smeared the wounds of the Chi You with tea oil, and even made the Chi You back to life, since then Chi You has been eating the tea oil refined by the ancestors of the Dun family, and it is infinitely powerful, and finally even strong enough to almost be able to compete with the Yellow Emperor, although the Chi You finally lost, but after all, Chi You is a generation of heroes, since the famous Chi You loves the "Chi brand" tea oil refined by the Dun family, The heroes and heroes of the past can eat it, and the people of today can also eat the "Chipai" tea oil.

Mao Geng said in his heart, this is obviously a casual talk to Wen Yuan about Zhu Yuanzhang's tea oil healing, Wen Yuan is good, the flower graft was connected to Chi You, and he also put a magical halo on the Dun family, hehe, he is really talented!

This tea oil itself does have the effect of cooling blood and stopping bleeding, clearing heat and detoxifying, some people have tried to think that after the effect, the "Chi brand" tea oil has gradually become popular, plus Wen Yuan's "Baixi Journal" Although this journal is different from the other journal, it can be mixed with pearls, most people can argue between the true and the false, after the academic journal a publicity, one and two "Chi brand" tea oil is actually selling hot, according to Dun Erbao claimed, it has now risen to an incredible 12o Wen a catty.

Su Zhiyan listened carefully on the side, and then realized that she had wronged Mao Geng, and now it seems that it was this Wenyuan who wrote the insinuation story.

But then the second treasure broke out again:

"Do you know that the Baixi Official School is now very famous, and even the students here in Anhua are squeezing their heads to go to the Baixi Official School, and it is said that the meaning of the Xu County Order is to make the Baixi Official School Baixi Academy."

Mao Geng was stunned and asked:

"Is that really the case?"

Su Zhiyan nodded and said:

"A few days ago, someone was looking for his father's door and wanted to enter the Baixi official school, anyway, many people wanted to join Kang Lao's disciple and be Kang Lao's disciple."

Dun Erbao laughed and said:

"The most exaggerated is the Wang family's boy Wang Yunzhi, who was only a disciple of Mao Ge'er at the time, but was touted by the "New Chemical Journal" and became a genius prodigy, not only said that the horizontal lettering was created by Wang Yunzhi, but also said that Wang Yunzhi is a rare arithmetic genius in a century, just got the guidance of Kang Lao, it is better than decades of hard work, two days ago this Wang Yunzhi has been promoted to the arithmetic gentleman of Baixi official school, you say it's not funny!"

"Oh!" , Mao Geng was a little shocked, originally Luo Cui and the two of them meant to count the horizontal row on their own heads, okay! Now that he has settled on Wang Yunzhi, he has created a genius prodigy, and the Wang family is probably happy to see it, I am afraid that even if Wang Yunzhi wants to find Zhu Xi to apprentice, I am afraid that Zhu Xi will happily accept such a genius student.

"There is also the blacksmith Li Song, now he is also blown to the gods, saying that Li Song was originally an ordinary blacksmith in Shandong, after the reform, it was also a coincidence, under the guidance of Kang Lao, he suddenly realized the amazing skills, and now just to create a carved steel plate, a month to earn 4o guan, after the dignified Xu County order."

This time Mao Geng's feeling can only be described as shocking, obedient! In less than a month, a big god and two small gods have been created, Kang Lao is already a big god, Wang Yunzhi and Li Song are two freshly baked small gods, and the limelight should not be underestimated, haha! Wouldn't this "New Chemical Journal" become the "Avenue of Stars" of CCTV in later generations!

Speaking of this qiē, he was the initiator, and Mao Geng began to regret it. It felt like I'd opened Pandora's box, and then I was afraid that it would be out of control.

Mao Geng smiled bitterly and asked:

"In this way, the influence of this "New Chemical Journal" is probably not only --- Shaozhou and Changsha, but I am afraid that in the near future, even Lin'an will know about it."

Don Erbao pursed his lips and said with a smile:

"Brother Mao doesn't know, now the limelight of the "New Chemical Journal" has been overshadowed by the "Baixi Journal", and it will be famous in Lin'an in the future, and the name of "Baixi Journal" will be louder!"

Mao Geng was shocked again! The heart said that the "Baixi Journal" is just a copycat version, and it is a fluke that the official did not ban it, and if you dare to argue with the "New Chemical Journal", then you have to do it!

Mao Gengqi said:

"The "Baixi Journal" edited by Cousin Wen seems to be incorrect and unreasonable, as long as Xu County's order is a word, it will not be done. I wonder why the county allowed --- "Baixi Journal" to compete with --- "New Chemical Journal"! ”

Don Erbao laughed when he heard this, and then said:

"If you have read the miraculous story of Xu County's order written in the "Baixi Journal", where will you still say this! I only remember that section of the Xu County Order went into the mountains alone to quell the chaos, as if it was about Xu County's Ling Zhi Yong, what only went up the mountain, what calmly faced the tens of thousands of people in the confrontation with Han Yao, and finally fought the battle of the heroes, and quelled a monstrous chaos, this paragraph was written thrilling and bizarre, so interesting, and the Xu County Order was written like a god, hehe! After reading this, I am afraid that it will be too late for music, where will the "Baixi Journal" not be able to do it! ”

Hearing this, Mao Geng's jaw dropped in shock, his mouth opened wide, and he was speechless for a long time.
