Chapter Thirty-Six: It's Time to Dongshan Prefecture

Song Yingxing was not too famous in later generations, mainly because there were no literary works with him as the protagonist. But in some fields, Song Yingxing is very famous.

To describe Song Yingxing's words in one sentence, that is: the first encyclopedia in Chinese history was written by him.

The book consists of 18 chapters in three volumes, and the whole book includes agriculture and handicrafts, such as machinery, bricks and tiles, ceramics, sulfur, candles, paper, weapons, gunpowder, textiles, dyeing, salt making, coal mining, oil extraction and other production techniques.

It can be called a comprehensive work of science and technology, and some people also call it an encyclopedic work. When the foreign merchants who came to the Ming Dynasty to do business brought the translation of "Tiangong Kaiwu" back to their homeland, those foreign scholars gave it the reputation of "the encyclopedia of Chinese crafts in the 17th century".

According to statistics, in the two hundred years of the 17th and 18th centuries, the book was translated into 12 languages, and many of these technologies also played an enlightening role in Europa after the Industrial Revolution.

But it is very ironic that not long after the writing of "Heavenly Creations", the Manchu Qing in the north entered the Central Plains. Just because when "Tiangong Kaiwu" describes weapons and gunpowder, the case cited mentions Beiyi, the thief of Jianzhou, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty directly banned this book.

It was only more than 200 years later that the Chinese civilization made this work known to the Han people again through the retranslation of the Fusang script version that circulated in neighboring countries.

This is the big guy, this is the real big guy!

No wonder he had sensed a little bit of the aura of those scientific researchers he had met in his university in Song Yingxing before.

Bow your hand, salute, and bow to the end.

Song Yingxing and Jinyiwei are very strange, this Liu Yifeng don't look at the usual etiquette in front of them, but anyone with eyes can see that he is a man who is not humble or arrogant in the face of many officials of the Maritime Safety Bureau and Jinyiwei, who has constant folklore, I don't see how much respect he has for these officials.

At this time, this salute to Song Yingxing is a full salute, and it can be seen that he respects Song Yingxing from the bottom of his heart.

Jin Yiwei pursed his lips, guessing that this man had the meaning of stammering after knowing Song Yingxing's origin. But Song Yingxing didn't think so, he felt that this young man's gift had a sense of pilgrimage.

But he soon denied the speculation.

He is a fourth-grade official of the Maritime Safety Bureau, and he is not a saint, but he probably knows that he is valued by His Majesty, so he will scold himself.

Thinking of this, he felt that it was not interesting, and said, "You can stand down." ”

After returning to the kitchen, Liu Yifeng looked at the remaining shrimp, put them in the pot and stir-fried, and finally simply sprinkled the salt and pepper he grinded, and a salt and pepper shrimp was ready.

"Lao Wang, it's time to eat."

A small, stocky man in his 30s stepped out of the inside of the galley cabin, and the scales on his arm indicated that he was supposed to be dealing with the fish caught by the crew.

He watched Liu Yifeng divide half of the fried salt-and-pepper shrimp into a large bowl, then took the initiative to walk to a wooden barrel and scooped two bowls of salted fish and kelp soup.

After taking the chopsticks that Liu Yifeng brought to him, the middle-aged man actually saluted Liu Yifeng first, and then picked up the dead dough cake to learn Liu Yifeng and began to break the dough into small pieces and put it into the soup.

"How about a taste." Liu Yifeng gave him a large chopsticks of salt and pepper shrimp.

After Lao Wang put it in his mouth, a smile appeared on Mu Ne's face: "It's delicious." ”

"Have you learned the rotten cabbage you made today?"

The smile disappeared from Lao Wang's face and turned into embarrassment: "No." ”

"It's okay, I'll do it again when I have the opportunity in the future, and you can learn again."

"Okay, thank you, Master."

"It's all said, don't call me Master!"

"Oh."

Liu Yifeng can't accept being called master by a greasy fat man in his 30s.

This old Wang is the original cook on the ship, he is very wooden, very introverted, and does not like to talk. Therefore, Liu Yifeng was able to become the captain's real cook in a very short period of time, and Lao Wang became his assistant chef.

However, Liu Yifeng still has a conscience, he cooks any dish in front of Lao Wang, and seeing that Lao Wang looks at it seriously every time, he will explain it in the process of cooking.

And every time he ate alone from the people on the boat, Lao Wang had a share.

Over time, the old Wang who was wooden but admitted to death suddenly began to call Liu Yifeng his master one day. This made Liu Yifeng startled, and he quickly asked Lao Wang to change his words, because he was ashamed of it.

He felt that he hadn't taught Lao Wang any real skills at all, and the ingredients and conditions on the ship also limited his true skills. The meal that was made for Song Yingxing and them in the ghost city was a little bit of real skills, but Lao Wang was in the camp at the time and didn't learn it at all.

He wooed Lao Wang, just to sit more firmly in this position, not to be good to Lao Wang. He can't hide it from Lao Wang if he eats secretly, and he doesn't give someone to Lao Wang, he is worried that Lao Wang will report him if he changes hands.

Looking at the simple smile on Lao Wang's face, Liu Yifeng felt that this old boy had probably been taken care of by himself. It's a pity that it's useless to find him to hide the gun, Lao Wang belongs to the crew, and it is estimated that he will follow these crew members when he arrives in Dongshan Prefecture.

After eating, Liu Yifeng found another wooden bowl, poured the remaining pretzel shrimp into it, and took more than a dozen dough cakes and put them in the sack. The pretzel shrimp was for Feng Shuo, Ni Kantu and Ao Bai for supper, and the bread was for the others in the bilge.

Lao Wang didn't stop Liu Yifeng, he knew that Liu Yifeng was opening a small stove for a long time, but he himself was the beneficiary of Liu Yifeng's opening a small stove, so naturally he wouldn't say anything. Anyway, there are enough dead dough cakes on the ship, and the crew members are generally too lazy to stock dead dough cakes, and they eat this thing until they almost vomit.

After handing over the pretzel shrimp and cakes to the ecstatic Feng Shuo and the others, he went up to the Minfu cabin for a routine inspection.

Most of the people have already slept, and a small number of them have gotten together to chat, and they are tired of playing backgammon or something.

As he was about to leave after saying hello to the leaders of the people, he noticed Kim Seung-woo in the aisle looking out of the porthole in a daze.

"Why don't you go and eat the cake?"

"Big Boss!" Jin Chengyou hurriedly saluted, if it wasn't for Liu Yifeng's help during the day, he would probably be taught a good lesson by Feng Shuo.

But that was to be expected.

After chatting with Liu Yifeng a few days ago, he was ready to be troubled by Liu Yifeng's number one subordinate: Feng Shuo.

"Why don't you go and eat the cake?"

"I'll go later."

Liu Yifeng glanced at him and guessed the reason: he was hiding from Feng Shuo.

"Lao Feng, he's not a bad person, this person is actually quite righteous. It's just that you are a Korean after all, not a Han Chinese, is it normal for him to be wary of you, if you are not of my race, his heart will be different. ”

This set of words is almost a double-standard PUA, and Kim Seungyou actually thinks it makes sense: "But I really want to get along with Boss Feng." ”

"Bear with me, and when you can prove that you are a member of our general, he will accept you."

Patting him on the shoulder, Liu Yifeng took a detour to the kitchen and took another strip of bacon to Jin Chengyou. Then he dropped Kim Seung-woo, who was grateful, and went back to the cabin to sleep.

The next day, land appeared at sea level, and a crew member told Liu Yifeng that they had arrived in Dongshan Prefecture.
