"Giggle~"

"Good morning, young gentleman."

"Good morning, hey~ eldest brother Le Weiyang."

In the sound of roosters, Ou Xing yawned while saying good morning to Ou Xuan.

The plan of the day is in the morning. Just like before the crossing, the first thing I do when I get up in the morning after the crossing is to brush my teeth and wash my face.

The trivial matter of brushing teeth and washing your face once made the traveler with a small belly and chicken intestines linger.

The reason has to do with an object.

Not a toothbrush.

Before crossing over, Ou Xing vaguely remembered that bronze toothbrushes had appeared in the Qin Dynasty in China. Then, after crossing over, whether in Luoxian or Linxiang markets, he didn't find a place to sell bronze toothbrushes.

At the market, the "toothbrushes" peddled by vendors are willow branches cut into small pieces.

Soak the willow branch in water in advance and, when it is time to use it, chew one end of the willow branch repeatedly with your teeth.

By chewing, the fibers in the willow branches will be discharged, like a small wooden ruler comb, carrying away the residue in the mouth.

This is a very convenient way to brush your teeth, and it is said that it became popular with the introduction of Buddhism and was recommended by the Buddha himself.

("There are bhikkhus who have foul breath and cannot eat and drink.") There are all the bhikshus, who speak Theravada, and hate their bad breath. The bhikshus are related to the White Buddha. The Buddha said: 'Poplar branches should be chewed'" - "The Five Divisions of the Misa Saibu and the Five Divisions of the Dharma")

Ou Xing is not used to chewing. He began to try to invent the toothbrush he was familiar with.

The invention of the new toothbrush not only satisfies the personal habits of the travelers, but also brings huge economic benefits.

In the fourth year of Zhongping, the new toothbrush invented by Ou Xing had gone out of Luo County and Changsha, and was sold all over the Han Empire with caravans.

Oujia now has three sub-brands that make and sell toothbrushes at the same time.

The first is a low-cost brand for the general public - tooth white and white label. The tooth white and white brand toothbrush is made of carbonized bamboo and wood as the handle, with a total of 12 small holes in two rows at one end, inlaid with pig bristles to use as bristles, and one end sharpened, which doubles as a toothpick. The price of a handle ranges from 30 to 100 yuan.

The second is the mid-to-high-end brand for the middle class - Shufang brand. The Shufang toothbrush uses a finely polished bone handle, which is engraved with a moire pattern of flowers and birds, and the brush head has a total of 24 small holes in three rows, and is inlaid with a horsetail as bristles. The price of a handle ranges from 500 to 2,000 yuan.

The third is a high-luxury customized brand for the elite class - the rhino brand. Tiger bone, ivory, rhino horn, Jiaozhou coral, South China Sea tortoiseshell, etc. are selected as handles, wrong gold and silver, inlaid with pearls and jade, and inlaid with horsehair for bristles. The price of a handle is more than 10,000 yuan, and there is no upper limit.

What made Ou Xing uncomfortable for a while, and it took a long time to slowly get used to it was a small object that was common but often overlooked in later generations - a towel.

The towel we use daily was born very late, and it is the product of the technological innovation of the British textile industry during the first industrial GM period.

The ancestors of the late Han Dynasty also had the need to wipe their bodies, but the hand towels and handkerchiefs at that time, whether they were linen products, kudzu scarf products or silk satin, had a limited ability to absorb and store water.

Modern towels are made of three system yarns, wool warp, ground warp and weft yarn, interwoven with a terry structure, and the terry is dense, so it feels soft and has strong water absorption and water storage.

It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift. Ou Xing, who is accustomed to modern towels, feels uncomfortable with any towel after crossing.

Helplessly, Ou Xing knows nothing about textile technology, and if he wants to climb this technology tree, he can only mobilize collective wisdom.

In this life, it is easier for Ou Xing to become the emperor and use a towel, I am afraid it is easier for the former.

If you come to it, you will be safe, Ou Xing wiped his face with the velvet ring brocade that he bought at a high price, and he will make do with it first.

"Shaojun," Tingchu Ou Fu poked his head out of the backyard, "The horn is ripe, please have breakfast." ”

"Good. There is Brother Law. ”

Horn millet is the direct ancestor of zongzi. The horn millet of the goose-shaped mountain, after the improvement of the traverser district star, is almost the same as the commercial zongzi sold in socialist New China.

Wrap rice, millet and jujube in mushroom leaves, and cook them in ash juice. Wrap the red date stuffing with sticky rice (glutinous millet) and millet (millet), wrap the mushroom leaves (callus white leaves) on the outside, make a pentagonal shape, and then cook it with ash juice (the juice obtained after soaking and filtering plant ash), and the Han Dynasty zongzi - "horn millet" is ready.

In addition, in the late Han Dynasty, bamboo tubes were also used to wrap zongzi. Liang Wujun, a writer of the Southern Dynasties, recorded in the "Continuation of Qi Harmonic Records": "Qu Yuan died on May 5, and the Chu people mourned it, so they used bamboo tubes to store rice and threw water to sacrifice it. ”

This kind of bamboo tube dumplings still existed in the Tang Dynasty. Bai Juyi once wrote in the poem "Remembering Suzhou Chenglu Guests on the Summer Solstice": "The rice dumplings are fragrant and the bamboo is tender, and the crispy goose is fresh." ”

After the crossing of the district star, the production method of zongzi in later generations was also brought to Oujiachong, and the Shaojun horn millet was born by replacing millet and millet with glutinous rice, and boiling with water instead of ash juice.

Salted egg yolk meat filling, fresh meat filling, bean paste filling, lotus paste filling and other classic zongzi fillings of later generations also came out in advance, which greatly enriched the types of corn in Oujiachong, and also added more choices to the Dragon Boat Festival diet of the people of the Ou clan.

As for breakfast and three meals a day, it is a small achievement that Ou Xing is quite proud of.

From the pre-Qin period to the end of the Han Dynasty, the tradition of the ancestors was to eat two meals a day. The upper lunch is called 饔, and the lower lunch is called 飧, that is, the so-called "morning said 饔, evening 曰飱".

This can make the traverser Qu Xing, who is used to having three meals a day and occasionally having afternoon tea and supper, starving.

As the young patriarch of the clan, Ou Xing still has a way to replenish his energy and relieve his hunger by eating snacks.

This also makes him in this life, and his height barely catches up with himself in later generations - he is 17 years old this year, with a height of 7 feet 6 inches (about 23 centimeters in the Chinese system), and 175 centimeters in the metric system in later generations - this is enough to play as a center forward in the Southern Field Stadium in the mouth of the Internet region in later generations.

It is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, and Ou Xing is committed to making the entire Yuhua District clan full of food and no longer hungry. But such a goal cannot be achieved by the next order of "three meals a day" from a traverser with a heavenly constitution, and there is a lot of work to be done in between.

The ancestors had two meals a day, which was a matter of habit. In the final analysis, this habit is fueled by low productivity.

The Yuhua District clan collectively ate three meals a day, and it was not until the year before last that the family had surplus food with the help of earthworm farming, beguellol composting and various new farm tools, and with the help of profit dividends from the production and marketing of agricultural and sideline products such as Zuixianju, winery, and toothbrush factory.

Cao Apu, big-eared thief, and Sun Shiwanwan are what kind of heroes and heroes, follow me and have enough to eat! This is where the traverser is self-satisfied, and it is also the source of his confidence to dominate the world.

Young and frivolous naïve traversers still don't understand how big the difficulty gap is between governing a country and governing a family, and they can't extricate themselves in the stage of blind self-confidence.

After breakfast, everyone in Yuhua Pavilion took their places and prepared to do their own thing.

According to the results of last night's lot, today the pavilion chief Ou Xuan and the pavilion father (palm opening and closing) Luo Feng stayed in the pavilion and ushered in;

Seeking thieves (chasing thieves) District An Shi led two pavilion guards to inspect the pavilion and maintain law and order;

Pavilion Hou (deputy pavilion chief) Ou Sheng led four pavilion guards to set off with Ou Xing to prepare for Tianjing Lake, where a dragon boat race will be held today to help maintain order on the spot.

"Gentlemen!"

Outside the Yuhua Pavilion, Ou Xing raised a jade jue and said loudly:

"It's not fun to walk, it's better to gallop for fun. This jade Jue, known as the green jade dragon pattern Jue, is a gift from Guiyang giant Guo Shi, crystal clear, worth 10,000 dollars. Today, with this Jue as the color, those who go to the lake first can get it! ”

"Good!" / "Drive! ”

"All inside and outside, the rooster crows, the salty gargle, the clothes, the pillow, the sweeping room, the hall and the court, the cloth seat, each according to its own business" - "The Book of Rites: Internal Rules"
