Chapter 24: Science Gate
Apprentice? Worship him as a teacher? Everyone was stunned.
Let a famous winemaker, a forty-year-old uncle, worship him, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child? How daring is he? But he seemed confident.
Regarding Ma Hanshan's request, everyone thought that Li Zhuoshui would scold people, and in their opinion, this was simply insulting. Isn't it? Having a dignified brewmaster learn from a little kid isn't an insult.
However, the development of things was not what everyone thought, Li Zhuoshui not only did not scold Ma Hanshan, but only fell to his knees after being stunned for a moment.
Depend on! What's going on? How can it be? Does he really want to worship Mahanshan as a teacher?
As Li Zhuoshui knelt down, everyone was even more shocked, and the Si Xing Fang Qi Nanyue and they were almost shocked by the things in front of them, really, this thing happened so strangely, they never thought that such a thing would happen.
Knock knock!
In the shock of everyone, Li Zhuoshui shouted that the master was on top, invited the apprentice to bow three times, and then knocked his head three times.
And Ma Hanshan actually stabbed these three heads, and then raised his hand and said, "Well, get up and speak, since you have kowtowed, you are my disciple." There is no need to bother with the six rites of apprenticeship, and it is more convenient to cash out. Alas, that second brother is troublesome, and he made a six-rite of six rites. ”
"Yes, the disciple cashed the six rites to the master." Li Zhuoshui turned out to be "as good as a stream", took out a silver ticket and presented it with both hands.
"I am an innovative person, and whoever enters my door does not need to be called Master, but also Teacher. However, there are some ancient rules that are necessary, such as respecting teachers and teaching, being a teacher for one day and a father for life, and most importantly, if there is a betrayer under my door, he will be sent by heaven. By the way, Li Bao, you are a senior brother, think of an oath, and when the junior brothers and sisters join in the future, you can take the oath as usual. "Ma Hanshan is probably the laziest master in the world, and even the disciples take the oath of apprenticeship.
"Yes, teacher, I'll write an oath when I go back, and then put the incense case on the table and swear to the sky." Li Zhuoshui said respectfully, "By the way, teacher, what kind of sect is the teacher?" ”
"Well, I haven't thought about what sect it is, this sect aims to get rid of bad habits and promote science for the benefit of mankind, or else, let's call it a new school... It's not good, there are more new learners, and it's still the same as Confucius and Mencius, and if you have it, it's called Science. Ma Hanshan said very solemnly.
"Yes, teacher. That... When did the teacher teach his disciples to make drunken immortal wine? "Li Xunshui is not drunk, although he is full of wine and drunk, but his brain is very clear, he just wants to learn to make new wine, so he worships Ma Hanshan, a big child, as a teacher.
For Li Zhuoshui, who is obsessed with winemaking, age is not a problem at all.
"Don't be in a hurry, as the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. By the way, muddy water, who else are there in your family? When are you going to take them to the stockade? "Want to learn how to steam wine? Hehe, it's still early, wait until you bring your family here, and wait until you concentrate on working for the tile pot village.
"Teacher, my disciple's parents are dead, and he has three wives and children at home, do you have to pick them up? They have lived in the southwest for a long time, and when they come to this Central Plains, they are afraid that they are not used to it. Li Xunshui whispered, he finally understood what Ma Hanshan meant, hehe, accepting apprentices, is accepting long-term workers.
"Then don't you want to live separately? The brewing technique of this new sake is not something that can be learned in a day or two, and with your qualifications, it will take you about ten or eight years to learn. Ma Hanshan said seriously.
Yes, this kid has made a statement, and he will have to work for ten years before he can leave.
Li Xunshui was a little dumbfounded, this teacher is really... It's really insidious, and he even opened his mouth directly to let his disciples do long-term work.
"Okay, I'll go home and let my brother send them over." Li Xunshui thought for a while and said, no matter what, this new wine technique must be learned.
In fact, the volunteer work of disciples as teachers is a tradition that has existed since ancient times, and this tradition has lasted for thousands of years, and will continue for thousands of years. Even in the so-called modern society in Ma Hanshan's previous life, there is still such a tradition, those graduate students or something, all of them are the tutor's volunteer work, not only to do the tutor's family, the tutor's mother-in-law's house, the tutor's brother's house, etc., but also to do projects to make money for the tutor.
"Okay, good, muddy water, I'm optimistic about you, you must do a good job of the new wine for the teacher, bigger, stronger, I'll give you a plan, within two years, you must sell the new wine all over the seven countries of Dasong, Hubei, Mengxiliao, Dali, Xixia and Western Domain, and in three years, you must sell the wine to Dashi and Europa and other countries." Hey, this guy actually wants to sell wine all over the world in three years.
In fact, this is impossible, because in this era, it takes more than half a year to sail to Europa.
"Yes, the disciple must work hard." Li Xunshui bowed down and agreed.
"Well, you sit aside, talk to the farmer for the teacher, explain him, and let him be your junior brother." Ma Hanshan actually wants to accept Chen Bonong as a disciple, oh my God, is this kid crazy.
Ma Hanshan was not crazy at all, he just waited for Chen Bonong to make a statement.
Hmph, want to learn my new technique to become a saint? Yes, but you'll have to let me exploit it first.
"Master Ma Zhai, that's impossible, I won't worship you as a teacher." Chen Bonong, like everyone else, was lively at the beginning, but now he found out that the owner of Ma Dazhai was serious.
"Oh, I'm not used to forcing people to apprentice. However, since you are here, I have to give you a little gift to go back. Ah Niu, you tell the farmer where there is the rice three crops, by the way explain to him why, you have to be patient, if the farmer does not understand, you explain to him that he understands. Ma Hanshan did not ask Chen Bonong to apprentice, but he believed that Chen Bonong would definitely worship him as a teacher.
"Yes, young master." Ah Niu took out a map from his backpack and spread it on the table, and then said to Chen Bonong: "Uncle Chen, do you know how to read maps?" It doesn't matter if you don't understand, I'll teach you to read ....... ”
He actually called Chen Bonong uncle, he actually explained Chen Bonong's doubts, he was just a follower, to put it bluntly, he was a slave, and he was for life. Why did he explain Chen Bonong's confusion, everyone's jaws dropped.
Why is Ah Niu doing this? Of course, it was arranged by Mahanshan.
Although Chen Bonong is a talent and a master of farming, he really doesn't know how to read a map, he blushed and didn't squeak, he wanted to get angry but couldn't get angry. How can you get angry, what a servant understands, but you don't understand, it's too embarrassing, if you get angry and scold people again, isn't it even more embarrassing?
Ah Niu pointed to a north character in the upper right corner of the map and said: "Uncle Chen's first step to look at the map is to figure out the direction of the map, look, the top of this map is north, then the right is east, the bottom is south, and the left is west, this is the most commonly used way to draw maps on the north and down the south, left and west and right east. The parking lot map used in our tile tank village is in accordance with this regulation. You see, there's a cross here, and there's an arrow pointing up, and there's an N here, which means north....... ”
Eh, there is so much attention to looking at the map? Do you have to talk about one direction for half a day? Everyone looked at Ah Niu in amazement, thinking, how can this slave understand this? It must be the bishop of the village, and the owner of the village has great talents.
"Okay, let's figure out the direction of the map, let's talk about the temperature in various places, everyone knows that the farther north the colder, the farther the south the hotter, on the map, that is, the folder the up, the hotter the lower. This is a mistake because the Antarctic Circle, at the bottom, is also very cold. ”
"So what is the best temperature for rice growth... Uncle Chen, you must know very well, don't you? Rice grows between 10 and 42 degrees, below 10 degrees it stops growing ....... What is Degree? You don't have to worry about these details, what I want to say is that the south, the further south you go, the hotter it gets, look, where is the southernmost point of our continent? It is Johor, Champong, Funan and other places, as well as Java, Luzon and other islands, the temperature is suitable for rice triple cropping ....... ”
"In these places, rice can be harvested three times, but the real rice three crops are now only one place in Zhancheng, and other places are still uncivilized land. Champa rice is not only three crops a year, but also the best quality rice ....... ”
Wow, Ah Niu is so powerful, he can know so many things and tell so many truths, this is what everyone thinks.
But Ma Hanshan was thinking in his heart, Ah Niu, this kid has a really good memory and good comprehension, so let him read some books, it should be a good piece of material.
"Uncle Chen, now, do you understand?" Ah Niu waited for a long time after speaking, and when he saw that Chen Bonong did not respond, he asked.
"Huh? I see... Got it, Ah Niu, you... How do you know? Have you ever been to Champa? Chen Bonong woke up and asked.
"I haven't been there, it's all told me by the young master. In the world, there is nothing that the young master does not understand. "Wow... Oh... Depend on... Ah Niu, you are really good at slapping sycophants, be careful to slap your master to death.
"Hehe, rudeness, faux pas, Ah Niu's words are exaggerated, there are thousands of great things in the world, and he is already a great sage if he can understand one or two." Ma Hanshan said modestly.
It's okay if he's not modest, so modest, everyone has a feeling of hell in their hearts, because they really don't understand how a child who grew up in a cottage can understand so much.
"So, Ma Zhai master, what is nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium? What impact does he have on crops? "Chen Bonong is really a studious uncle.
"Why do people eat? Why do cows and horses eat grass? Do you know that military horses, when they go to the battlefield, they have to be fed beans, wheat and other concentrates? People have to inhale nutrients to live, the nutrition of grass is far less than beans and wheat, and the military horses consume huge amounts on the battlefield, so they must eat high-nutrient concentrates. People and animals must have nutrition to grow, and similarly, plants must also have nutrition to grow, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, rain, and sunlight are the nutritional ...... of plants. Ma Hanshan didn't expect that he could teach these people biology lessons in this world.
"Master of the horse village, the plant is ......." Chen Bonong understands what the crop is, but the plant really doesn't know what it is.
"It's wild things such as flowers, trees, and other things, including crops, and those who grow food, so don't pay too much attention to these details......." Ma Hanshan said with a smile.
"Yes, don't care about these details, so, what is NPK? How can I get these nutrients? How much of these nutrients do crops need? ……。 "What a problem, uncle, why are there so many problems.
