After Wu's mother left, Ivan put his mind back to the practice of squirrel fish.

For him, squirrel fish will be an important specialty of Xiao Wan's private dishes, so the inadvertently promoted to the second grade of the top grade will not meet his requirements.

Before he knew it, he had reached a point of pickiness in his demands for deliciousness.

But he suddenly found that Dong Xiaowan was already in tears at this time.

"What's wrong with you?"

Ivan was slightly puzzled.

He didn't understand the feelings of a man in the mire when he was rescued.

For Dong Xiaowan, she was already desperate for life, she didn't even know when she would be polluted, and she didn't know when such days would end.

She was just struggling with it.

But Ivan's appearance pulled her out of the quagmire in just a few days.

This happiness came so suddenly.

Suddenly she couldn't believe it.

Overjoyed, how could she not cry?

It's just that her joy was soon broken by Ivan's uninteresting question.

She was a little confused, Ivan could be very imposing in front of Wu's mother, and he could be mighty and domineering, why was he a little dumbfounded in front of her?

She didn't understand it.

At this age, she is at the beginning of her love, Ivan's experience, knowledge and performance have already had a great attraction to her, and made her trust him unconditionally and have something to look forward to.

Unfortunately, Ivan's performance in this area disappointed her.

This is a stupid boy!

But disappointment can't help it.

Dong Xiaowan is not the kind of person who takes the initiative, so she can only hide this good feeling in her heart.

Ivan didn't think so much.

In his opinion, this is a task, and as soon as the task is completed, he will disappear from this world, so he will not think much about it at all.

He still thinks about the task.

Now it seems that there should not be much obstacle to get out of Qinlou, but what about after going out?

It seems that you still have to perfect the recipe of the whole fish feast before you can really open your door for business!

At this moment, Xiao Cui walked over: "Miss, Yi Gongzi, Fang Gongzi asks to see." ”

Ivan wondered for a moment.

Why is this troublesome guy in such a hurry?

At this time, Fang Yizhi's voice was already coming from outside the door: "Brother Ivan, brother, I'm here to see you!"

Ivan shook his head helplessly.

The person has arrived, and he and Dong Xiaowan can only receive this troublesome person first.

"Brother Ivan, Miss Dong, when are we going to Wangyue Tower?"

As soon as he entered the door, Fang Yizhi, who was holding a circle of things in his hand, first asked about the things agreed yesterday.

This is typical of the emperor not being in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry.

It's useless to be in a hurry.

Ivan still has to wait for Wu's mother to get the silver to exchange for the squirrel fish secret recipe.

"Let's talk about this in the afternoon, there's no hurry. ”

Ivan replied casually.

"Great, while I have time now, I will ask Brother Ivan to help me clear up my doubts. ”

Fang Yizhi looked around, found a table and spread out the things in his hand.

This turned out to be a map.

"Brother Ivan, let's take a look at this complete map of the world. ”

Ivan: "......"

What this guy cares about most is not Mochizuki Tower, but the Western doctrine he is looking forward to.

He had to walk over.

The Liangyi Xuanlan Diagram is not an unfamiliar concept for Ivan, who has already done his homework.

It is said that after the famous missionary Matteo Ricci arrived in China, he made his own "Atlas of All Nations" and dedicated it to the Wanli Emperor.

In the thirtieth year of Wanli (1602), Li Zhizao, the then Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, drew the first Chinese version of the world map on the basis of the "Atlas of All Nations", which was the "Kunyu Wanguo Quantu".

It is said that this is also the earliest painted world map in China, and there are only twelve copies of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Wu Xiaozheng didn't expect that Fang Yizhi would have such a treasure in his hands.

He couldn't help but be a little curious, and immediately walked over.

Oh, alas.

It's just a woodcut version, printed in black ink, but it's already remarkable.

Ivan took a closer look.

But he quickly frowned.

The reason is that although this map is detailed enough, it is still different from the maps of later generations, and many place names are not marked with the same name, and they are densely packed with traditional Chinese characters.

For example, the South China Sea on the map is called the Daming Sea, the Taiwan is called the Great Ryukyu, and the Philippines is called Luzon.

It's a lot of work for him.

Fang Yizhi pointed to a column of text in the upper right corner of the map and asked him: "Brother Ivan, Father Bi Francis said that the earth is round, is this really the case?"

Ivan immediately looked at the column.

"The earth and the sea are round and united into one ball, and they are above the celestial sphere......"

It really gave him a headache to watch.

Because these words don't even have punctuation marks, Ivan not only has to read traditional characters, but also has to break sentences in these crepe Chinese characters.

He quickly gave up on reading the texts closely.

Diyuan said that for a person in later generations, it was not a matter at all, so he simply explained it in his own words.

He pointed to the map and began to explain in an easy-to-understand way.

"One hundred and twenty years ago, a Portuguese man named Magellan, with a fleet of five ships, set out from Europa. After sailing for more than 70 days in this sea called the Atlantic Ocean, we arrived at this location in Molica, South Asia......"

The South Asian Molica in Ivan's mouth is South America, and the location he refers to is probably Brazil in South America.

He also pointed to the Strait of Magellan, which became famous in later generations.

Later, he crossed the continent of Merica in South Asia from this strait, and spent more than 100 days at sea before finally arriving in Luzon. ”

"The sea that Magellan crossed was later named the Pacific Ocean because it had not encountered wind and waves for more than 100 days. ”

After leaving Luzon, Magellan began to return to Europa via the West. ”

"Magellan sailed down this way, and indeed walked a large circle around the earth, thus proving that the earth is round. ”

Ivan's finger drew a large circle along the map.

In order to avoid trouble, he secretly omitted many concepts, such as Magellan's death.

But this was enough to dumb Fang Yizhi when he heard it.

Although he was given a woodcut map and listened to the concept of the earth, he had not heard Magellan's story.

After all, this matter has only been too long, and it has not spread in the Ming Dynasty.

Fang Yizhi began to get excited again.

Atlantic, Pacific!

He looked at the map and pondered.

For him, this is a concept that is completely absent from both maps.

He was sure that Ivan had indeed been to Europa, otherwise he would not have known such a thing that even a Western priest had never said.

This made Fang Yizhi extremely excited.

Because it means that Ivan is a living library standing in front of him.

"Brother Ivan, Brother Ivan, can you tell me more about that Magellan?"

Ivan immediately had a headache.

When will it be the end when he will be asked like this?

Fortunately, just when he felt embarrassed, Wu's mother came over again.
