17 Qin Mo
Mu Lin is an inconspicuous little disciple of Qin Mozhong, compared to other brothers who inherited their ancestral business and mainly studied military science and siege equipment, Mu Lin preferred to make some gadgets for people's livelihood.
He had thought that his actions would be regarded as an outlier by his brothers, but his teachers were very supportive.
The Mo family advocates both love and non-attack, which means that if you don't come to fight me, I won't take the initiative to attack you, but if you come to attack me, I'm not afraid of you. All in all, the mainstream ideology of the Mohists was against war. The skills in their hands are actually to enable the people to live a stable and prosperous life, rather than taking the initiative to kill in vain.
However, if Qin Mo wants to develop and pay attention to it in Qin, he must help the King of Qin to take the initiative to attack, which is actually contrary to the ideological concept of "love and non-attack", but there is no way, the national conditions of Qin are like this, and the ambitions of the Qin kings of the past dynasties are like this.
If the Mo family ceases to exist in the eyes of everyone, then what is the significance of their giant son entering Qin back then?
But even if the Mo family acted like this, as the small eastern countries perished one by one, and the war of the Seven Kingdoms became more and more intense, their Mo family's thinking could not be maintained for a long time. With the passage of time, with the passing of generations of giants, the remaining disciples of them, in order to earn a bite to eat, the current Qin Mo has gradually abandoned the ideological and political concepts of the previous generation of giants, and turned to the direction of craftsmanship.
But Qin Mo, who has lost his ideology, can he still be called a Mo family?
This generation of Mo family giants doesn't know about themselves, let alone the disciples below.
Under this momentum of Qin Mo's declining situation, Mu Lin likes to study equipment that can help people live more conveniently, and Mu Lin's teacher is naturally supportive.
Continuing to research and manufacture siege equipment for the Qin State was a means for them to maintain the status of the Mo family in the Qin State, and one more wooden forest and one less wooden forest would not affect the overall situation.
On the contrary, Mu Lin's behavior made them more gratifying, and even encouraged some disciples to integrate into the folk and find their own ideals in life.
But at this time, if the "people with lofty ideals" can learn, they always expect to be more important than the monarch, so they can put down the weapons in their hands and devote themselves to the people's livelihood that has no future at a glance.
It is difficult to make a forest alone, and since Mu Lin is separated from the center of the organization, the channel for him to get information becomes narrower and slower.
You see, last year, the Liyang County Order issued a document to specifically reward the Qin family for making steamed buns and teaching them to their neighbors free of charge, which shows that before the award, the steamed bread practice has been popular in Liyang, so the soybean milk before and after the steamed bread method must have appeared on the dining table of the rich circle of Liyang.
What's more, the two large stone mills customized by the Qin Yu family were actually made by the Mo family disciples stationed in the Liyang Workshop, so it should be very fast and convenient for the Mo family to know and obtain the production method of soybean milk.
However, it wasn't until Mulin visited the teacher's house that he saw the soy milk on the teacher's table and asked in detail how to make it.
He felt that soy milk was a good thing, and it should appear on the table of more Qianshou, but Shi Mo was an obstacle, so he, a disciple of the Mo family, naturally put his mind on Shi Mo to lose weight.
It's very simple to slim down a stone mill, just choose a smaller stone to chisel into a disc, but if the disc becomes smaller, it means that the weight becomes smaller, and the weight of the disc becomes smaller, so can you still grind hard grains into fine powder? The disc on it does not have enough weight to press, and when grinding the grain grains, will it not be firm and slip?
Therefore, how to tighten the axis in the middle of the fan mill and increase the friction in the middle of the upper and lower fan mill discs to make the grain easier to break has become the focus of his research.
Mu Lin quickly made a small stone mill that met his requirements, he first grinded the soaked beans, and felt that the soaked beans were very soft, and it was easy to grind them into slurry, but he felt in his heart that the beans had to be soaked and then grinded. The stone mill that can only grind the soaked beans is not the stone mill of his Mo family.
The temper of the craftsman is so iron!
As for how do you think about adding salt to soy milk?
Does this need to be asked? I want to eat some flavorful soy milk, the green salt at home is just gone, and there is still salt brine, so I put a little bit, and when I stirred and waited for it to cool, the bean curd suddenly appeared in the bowl, and he was also very surprised.
Don't you think it's a miracle?
Mu Lin: "What miracle?" Nonsense, I just put a spoonful of salt brine at random, and it became like this, if you want to say that this is a miracle, then wouldn't I become a god? Whether my wood forest is a god or not, can I not know? ”
Very well, this is a complete materialist, and Qin Yu is very interested in him.
When Qin Yu was leaving, he specially said hello to Mu Lin, and promised that if Mu Lin's stone mill was not sold out when the sun set, he would all wrap it up and send it all to the Qin family's old house.
Hearing Qin Yu's residential address, Mu Lin thought thoughtfully, but his face was an honest person's kindness and gratitude, after sending Qin Yu away, Mu Lin looked at his missing half of the goods, smashed his tongue, and the mother-in-law who came with him to help muttered in a low voice: "This child named Yu can't be the one who grinds out soy milk, right?" looks a little younger. ”
Mu Lin's lover is a spicy woman, and she has no husband-oriented ideology for Mu Lin, she smacked Mu Lin and scolded: "It's a lot of care! If you don't sell it for twice the price, you can sleep outside the house! ”
Mu Lin shrunk his neck and said with a smile: "Didn't you hear everything?" The kid said, if you can't sell it, you will send it to his home, what we want, their family will give it, and when the time comes, it's all up to you, okay? Haven't you wanted new cloth for a long time? When the time comes, I will ask for one, and you will make yourself a new garment to wear. ”
After hearing this, the woman was satisfied, but she became sad again: "Today's stone mill has been rounded, but there are still many in the family, what can we do tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?" ”
At first glance, she is not optimistic about her beloved's stone grinding business, but her beloved is a capable person, and she has no better way to support her beloved, so she can only toss it by himself and help him by himself.
However, thinking about the stone mills that are piled up all over the yard and have nowhere to put their feet, I am still angry!
The woman glanced at her beloved again, and after expressing her intention to make him look good in the evening, she began to entertain her guests warmly. In short, if you can sell one, count it as one.
Mu Lin received the eyes of his beloved, and smiled, didn't he want to make a stone mill with the best ratio of upper and lower fan grinding pieces? Hehe, just make more, but it's not that it can't be used, it would be a pity if you throw it away, his family is still very poor, so he had to take it out and sell it. For these inferior stone mills that are not excellent, he only wants to be able to return to his capital, and he does not think about making money from them.
It's just that he didn't dare to say this to his beloved, otherwise, he would really have to sleep on the street at night.
Qin Yu asked someone to hire a car on the street to send home the five stone mills that Su Lian had bought, while he and Jiaojiao continued to visit the market.
After buying some rare and big gadgets in Qin Yu's eyes one after another, they went to the innermost part of the West Market, which is also the end of the West Market, because, further inside, there is the left and right workshops of the capital township, which is managed and opened by the government office, and it is not famous on the surface, but Qin Yu knows that this should be the place where armor is made, bronze is smelted, iron and stone is smelted, and pottery is fired.
Qin Yu sat on his strong shoulders, more than two heads taller than normal people, he looked far, and further west, there were heavy soldiers, so it was not for ordinary people like them to get in.
However, it's not bad to look around here.
There are several shops in this vicinity, mostly selling iron farm tools, all of which are commonly used farm tools such as iron hoes and iron pots, as well as pottery such as pottery bowls and pots, and there is also a shop with samples of various sizes of terracotta tiles and pottery pipes for customers to customize and choose.
Qin Yu went to look at the sample of the pottery pipe, and felt that he was not very satisfied, so he went to the iron shop to look for it, and saw that there were no artifacts such as iron pots.
The owner of a shop selling farm tools saw Qin Yudong looking for it, and his white and tender little face showed a look of disappointment, and he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Child, you have found several shops, what are you looking for?" ”
Qin Yu didn't find the iron pot, so he was originally going to inquire, but the shopkeeper could ask, so he took the opportunity to ask: "Shopkeeper, don't you have iron dings, iron cans, iron plates, and iron retorts here?" ”
The things he said are all commonly used cooking utensils at home.
The shopkeeper listened to Qin Yu's question, and said with a smile: "Iron is evil gold, it can only be used to make farm tools and knives, how can it be used to make eating utensils?" Bronze utensils aren't enough for you? ”
Qin Yu: I don't use bronze ware at home, and bronze ware may not be as good as an iron pot, thank you.
Qin Yu: "Bronze can make weapons and eating utensils at the same time, and iron is naturally possible, can you make it in your family?" I can pay the same price as a bronze, how about you help me build it? ”
The shopkeeper was a little surprised by Qin Yu's straightforward statement, and he hesitated for a while.
At this time, an old man wearing a silk ribbon hat came in from the back door of the shop, he looked Qin Yu up and down, then at Jiaojiao and Yan, and finally at one of the servants who were guarding Qin Yu several times, and asked with a smile: "But the little master of the Qin family, who has just arrived in the capital, is his party?" ”
Qin Yu was surprised: "Uncle knows us? ”
The old man stroked the goat's whiskers and smiled, pointed to the slave and said, "The last time Qin Yuan went to the old master's house, this strong man used to go with him, and the old man recognized him, so he guessed that you and the others were the Qin clan who had just arrived in the capital. ”
Qin Yu went to see the slave, this slave is called Qiang, and he is about the same size as the strong.
Qiang looked at the old man carefully, and said with a blank face: "The slave has not seen it." ”
The old man didn't care, but said that he had only been to Yao's house once, and it was normal that he hadn't seen him, and explained to Qin Yu that this was an ironware shop run by the Yao family, and he came here today to prepare a dowry for the good daughter of the Yao family.
Qin Yu suddenly, at this time, his eyes suddenly changed when he looked at the iron hoe and iron pinch head full of houses, heh, this Yao family also knows that their family is farming, so they have to prepare a complete set for their daughter, no, it is a large number of iron farm tools as a dowry, tsk, this Yao family is very down-to-earth and very pragmatic.
But from this point of view, the Yao family really attaches great importance to the marriage with the Qin family.
Qin Yu's impression of the Yao family was a little better.
