Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
This natural event made the three sisters of the Wang family gain some rare freedom, and they were allowed to visit the West Chamber the next day, which made the West Chamber feel full of fragrance.
It turned out that only Wang Qinqin sneaked to the West Chamber, which had an underground nature, but on this day, the three sisters of the Wang family took advantage of the little brother of the Wang family to come to the West Chamber to attend classes, and came to the West Chamber together.
Wen Yuan went out with Zhang Haisan early in the morning, Mao Geng gave a lecture to the little brother of the Wang family in the hall, and the three daughters helped tidy up Mao Geng and Wen Yuan's room.
The Wang family suddenly lifted the ban on men and women, it was really because of a sense of crisis, according to the Wang family's mood, there was no reason to marry their daughter to a barbarian, but it was obvious that their daughter was targeted by a barbarian, and there was never more than one or two families, it was really a group of wolves. Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang Er felt quite uncomfortable when they thought of their charming daughter being stared at by a group of barbarians, and they guessed that the two gentlemen who had taken the initiative to leave before might have encountered the same situation - no one could afford to be hurt! So left.
For the Wang family, there is no other place to go when they leave here, and for the sake of the little brother of the Wang family, there is no reason to give up halfway. In this case, Mr. Wang Lao Wang Er was extremely worried--what if he was forced by the situation to marry the barbarians, what would it be! The thought of this verse makes me shudder.
The so-called comparison will have identification, Mr. Wang Lao Wang Er only then felt that Mao Geng and Wen Yuan were good, in the eyes of Mr. Wang, Wen Yuan did not seem so tired, in the eyes of Mr. Wang Er, Mao Geng was more and more wishful. And now Mao Geng and Wen Yuan have become hot and popular son-in-law candidates in Baixi Town, a large group of barbarian girls are staring, maybe the Mao family boy and the Wen family boy can't hold it, and one day they will be the barbarian girls' husbands, once this happens, the consequence is that Baixi may no longer find candidates to marry the three sisters of the Wang family. Moreover, what the two elders of the Wang family are even more worried about is that once the Han barbarians get married, they are afraid that the three daughters will face more pressure from the barbarians, and it will be difficult to say whether they can keep the bottom line or not.
Therefore, although Mr. Wang has never intended to give Qinqin to Wen Yuan so far, and Mr. Wang Er has not set Mao Geng as his son-in-law for the time being, the fortress of Baixi Guanxue, a reformed person, cannot be broken by the barbarians. After weighing the pros and cons, the Wang family's male and female defense had to be adjusted slightly, and the Wang family finally opened the ban on a limited basis, and played a suspicious family card against Mao Geng Wenyuan, which was of course happy for Mao Geng.
Mao Geng's lesson was almost the same, so he gave the little brother of the Wang family a topic, and then his mind fell on Qin Yin, and he couldn't help but think of "The Story of the West Chamber", so he was a little distracted, and the ambiguous poem in "The Story of the West Chamber" immediately came to mind: under the west chamber of the moon, the windward door is half-open, and the flowers on the wall are moving, and it is suspected that the jade person is coming. Looking at Qin Yin again, she is still a young girl, and she is still a little girl, so she can't help but be ashamed of her association.
At this time, Mr. He came to the West Chamber, followed by a man, carrying a bamboo basket.
When Mr. He came in, he said to Mao Geng:
"Is Mr. Mao teaching the little brother, Su Yuanwai sent ten catties of plaster, the blackboard with black paint hit the bottom and brushed the primer, and then paint again after it dries, I'm afraid it will take two or three days."
Mao Geng hurriedly thanked:
"Thank you, Mr. He, the --- blackboard is out of the way, it's okay to --- that a few days later."
Watching the plaster poured out of the basket, Wang Qinqin was a little strange, and said to Mao Geng:
"Isn't this plaster made for tofu? Could it be that you have to grind your own tofu? ”
Mao Gengxin said that you, a girl who is both cute and cute, will have a lot of trouble, and I won't eat you if I want to eat tofu, but he can only say vaguely:
"It's useful in the next place."
Wang Qinqin was a little negative when she heard this, her face was uncertain, as if she was about to soar, Qin Yan hurriedly pulled Laqin and said:
"Sister, Mr. Mao has something to do here, let's go back."
Mr. He also knew that Mr. Wang's daughter was very different from her two sisters, and he only felt interesting when he saw this little girl's appearance, and this little girl of the Wang family was also somewhat similar to the woman of the barbarian family.
After a while, even Mr. He left, and the West Chamber was quiet again.
Mao Geng couldn't wait a little and decided to start the powder written test system.
The first step is to crush the gypsum and grind the powder. The hardness of raw gypsum is not high, the strength is not high, but it is easy to break, select a piece of gypsum, first break into a small piece of crushed gypsum, and then put it in the pot to fry it, this is the process of completing the dehydration of raw gypsum, after frying mature gypsum, Mao Geng then uses a borrowed bowl to grind powder. The front is still smooth, but it is really difficult to use a pottery bowl and a wooden hammer to make powder, the hammer and the bowl were originally used to make tofu equipped with standard tools, grinding a small dose of gypsum is good, and it is not possible to grind it if there are more. Mao Geng spent a long time trying to beat about a pound of cooked gypsum into fine powder, and his heart said that it would be good if there was a ball mill, even if it was a hand-cranked miniature ball mill.
After grinding out the plaster powder, Mao Geng began to try to mold zuò chalk upside down. Mao Geng's so-called chalk mold is just a small bamboo tube broken into two halves, and then polished the bright semicircular inner wall to make a semicircular chalk casting mold, made into such a semicircular mold, no other, just to facilitate demoulding. Of course, cylindrical chalk with a slightly conical shape feels the best, but now it can't be so demanding, semi-circular chalk can also write, and the feel is a little worse, that's a trivial matter.
Water and plaster powder are poured into a semicircular bamboo tube, and the plaster condenses when it is heated by water, and soon it forms a piece. When it's almost dry, carefully pour it out, and it's a semi-circular piece of chalk. In this way, Mao Geng poured all the cooked gypsum powder into chalk in one go, and then waited for the chalk to dry naturally.
The waiting time is a little boring, Mao Geng picked up the carving knife and carved it on the flat side of a piece of chalk, the plaster that has not dried is very easy to carve, Mao Geng first drew a circle, and then suddenly there is a pride in the heart of the Great Song Dynasty, the pride is rising, and he wants to return the Great Song Dynasty a bright and bright Qiankun. Then Lang Lang Qiankun thought of the blue sky and white sun, "Blue sky and white sun, Lang Lang Qiankun", and drew the pattern of the blue sky and white sun.
Waiting for the chalk to dry thoroughly, Wen Yuan came back, Zhang Haisan went out of Baixi Town, to find chalk, Mao Geng is not sure how the chalk made of simple plaster performance, if you can find chalk then ideal, in the gypsum mixed with some white chalk powder, at least it will be wear-resistant. Mao Geng said the same, but Zhang Haisan recognized it, Zhang Haisan thought that it was what Mao Geng needed for alchemy, and heard that there was chalk on a certain mountain, so he found someone to lead the way and ran away himself.
Wen Yuan saw that there were twenty or thirty thumb-thick semicircular white objects on the table, and he opened his mouth and asked:
"Brother, what is this?"
Mao Geng smiled and said:
"This thing, called chalk, is made of plaster, and when the chalk is dry, you can write on the blackboard ---, which is convenient."
Wen Yuan took the chalk that Mao Geng had carved the blue sky and white sun, rubbed it, and said:
"Oh, this one is well carved, give it to me!"
"A piece of chalk, just take that ---." , Mao Geng turned to ask: "What did you gain when you went out today?" ”
Wen Yuan shook his head and said:
"Today I went to inquire about the price of oil, lard is the most expensive, it costs 9o wen a catty, rapeseed oil is cheaper, it costs 7o wen, and the cheapest is tea seed oil, only 28 wen. However, the whole street has asked, I heard that the tea seed oil here is only used to light the lamp, the lamp is not yet tung oil, it is said that the tea seed oil here has a strange smell, except for the poorest people used to make vegetables, most people here do not eat. ”
Mao Geng was overjoyed when he heard that tea seed oil was so cheap, and hurriedly instructed:
"Is tea seed oil so cheap? Very good! Go and buy five catties of ---, no, that --- buy ten catties of tea seed oil. Mao Geng said at the beginning that he would buy five catties, and suddenly thought that the Wang family should also eat more oil and less food.
When Wen Yuan heard this, he was a little stunned:
"How much do you want to buy? It's better to buy tung oil than to light the lamp. It's not about buying and eating! It doesn't seem like there's such a frugal need. ”
Mao Gengxin said that the tea seed oil of later generations is the best edible oil, as for the strange taste, it is not easy! Remove it! hurriedly urged:
"Just buy it, I said good--- that's good."
Mao Geng knows that camellia is mostly wild varieties, and there are many varieties, and the oil squeezed out of different varieties of wild camellia is also high and low, and the oil yield of later generations is more than the oil taste of camellia varieties, most of which are excellent varieties that have been mutated from generation to generation after hundreds of thousands of years of directional selection and cultivation. Just like the rape itself in the Song Dynasty is still one of the vegetables on the table, and the rape after a few hundred years can not be eaten at all, the reason is also caused by directional selection and cultivation, and the result of only focusing on the oil yield of rapeseed is to ignore the edible taste of rapeseed, and finally reach the point where it can not be on the table.
It is not surprising that the tea oil here is unpalatable, it may be the reason for the variety, but it is difficult to discolor yourself in the past, and you know at least that there are two materials that can be decolorized and deodorized, and even the aflatoxins in peanut oil can be removed, so it is not difficult to remove the strange smell of tea seed oil here. Mao Geng was excited for a while, and felt that he finally had a business to make money.
My cousin's knowledge is unquestionable, I believe that my cousin's words are not wrong, and Wen Yuan did not hesitate, so he immediately went out to buy tea seed oil.
Unexpectedly, when I went to a store and said that I wanted to beat ten catties of tea seed oil, this store pù couldn't find ten catties of tea seed oil. Wen Yuan immediately thought of looking for the shop with the most tea seed oil, and it was also thanks to Wen Yuan's hard work, Wen Yuan's natural language ability group, although the accent here in Xinhua is not easy to understand, but Wen Yuan can now listen to a ** not far from ten, Wen Yuan can speak an official dialect that accommodates the accent here, and people here can also listen to a ** not far from ten, so Wen Yuan's verbal public relations ability is still killing all sides when it comes to Baixi. The shopkeeper was entangled by him, so he told Wen Yuan that the best way to buy tea seed oil was to go to the Dun family, and the tea seed oil sold by the Don family could be cheaper for three cents.
Wen Yuan asked all the way, and finally found the location of the Dun family, the location of this Dun house is a bit off, but it is a large courtyard, and the wall is made of bluestone, which has its own momentum. Wen Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still stepped into the door of the Dun family.
After stepping through this door, it will not be so easy to get out.
Wen Yuan immediately saw a man, and learned that Wen Yuan wanted to buy tea seed oil, so he led Wen Yuan to sit down in the hall first, just because the tea seed oil of this meal was not sold in zero, but seeing that Wen Yuan wanted to buy ten catties at a time, it could be regarded as a passable buyer, so he agreed to sell it to Wen Yuan.
A maid served the tea, Wen Yuan was waiting for the person to weigh ten catties of tea seed oil, a forty-year-old woman came to the hall, the woman was also dressed exquisitely, looked at Wen Yuan back and forth, and then asked:
"This little brother, but is the surname Mao or the surname Wen?" ,
Wen Yuanxin said that as soon as she came, she asked the surname Mao surnamed Wen, but she didn't know how she knew her feet. Yes, it must be because of his accent, several people who have learned from Baixi officials are probably well known to the people of Baixi Town. Wen Yuan thought that this woman might be a woman with a head and a face in the Dun family, so he replied:
"Xiao Ke's surname is Wen."
After saying a few words, seeing that Wen Yuan looked likable and his mouth was as likable, the woman showed appreciation.
------
But he said that Mao Geng was at home, waiting left and right and waiting for Wen Yuan to come back, is it so difficult to buy ten catties of oil!
Zhang Haisan came back with a white stone, and there was no trace of Wen Yuan. Mao Geng looked at the stone, but now it is not chalk, Zhang Haisan made a mistake, and what he brought back was a piece of quartzite. Quartzite is of course also good, you can fire glass, well, sometimes crooked.
When they got impatient, the two of them ate dinner by themselves, and after dinner, they still didn't see Wen Yuan.
This time, the two felt that there was a problem, so they began to look for people everywhere, and finally had to alarm Mr. He, so as to further alarm Su Zhiyi, and finally found the clue easily, and the clue pointed to the Dun family.
However, the Dun family is also a character in Baixi, and Su Zhiyi feels that it is a little tricky, and now that it is night, it is even more inconvenient to act rashly.
It can't be murder for money! Wen Yuan is shy in his pocket, the oil and water are really limited, and the Don family has strong resources, where can he see Wen Yuan's money!
In the end, it can only be said that Su Zhiyi and Zhang Haisan's unanimous inference is right - Wen Yuan was robbed by the Dun family, and he may have become the son-in-law of the Dun family at this time. If this is the case, according to the customs of the Yao people here, it is really not appropriate for outsiders to intervene.
