Guo Dalu waved his hand: "Don't worry, don't hurry, this should be said when I come back from Tianyi Pavilion, you can settle down in Houlong Village for the time being, usually listen to the arrangement of my junior brother Li Hua, do some small work, and go to Yixue to study at night--"

Zhao Kang was stunned: "Read, read?, sir, our craftsmen are lowly people, and we can't be officials for generations under the orders of the imperial court." ”

Guo Dalu said with a smile: "Is studying just to be an official? My work here is different from other places, we are talking about science." I know that you used to do your work, relying on word of mouth, the experience passed on from father to son, this is not good, to do things in my Houlong Village, you must follow my rules, my rules are science. Therefore, you should first learn simplified Chinese, mathematics, new measurement standards, and so on. If you don't learn well, I don't dare to let you work. ”

Zhao Kang didn't know what to say, throughout the ages, how could he have heard that craftsmen should read and learn many ways?

Zhao Kang was just about to thank him, and then he heard Guo Dalu say: "Well, you can also exchange your previous pottery making technology with the masters of Houlong Village to see if there is any further improvement in combination with science." The wisdom of the ancient working people also has merit. We can learn from each other, learn from each other, and make progress from each other. ”

As soon as Guo Dalu's voice fell, Zhao Kang, who had always been respectful, suddenly changed color, he raised his head and said in a loud voice: "Mr. Houlong, if you want the villains to offer the secret method of making pottery, it is absolutely impossible! Even the official family has no reason for this! Sir, if you have such a fate, the little ones will be beaten by their bosses, and they will not dare to stay in this Houlong Village for one more day!"

Zhao Kang's voice was very loud, and the villagers who were talking and laughing around the big black suddenly quieted down, and they all looked over, I don't know what kind of conflict Guo Dalu and the new potter leader had, Brother Hao was already able to walk, he glanced at the children, and the children suddenly quietly surrounded a group of potters, as long as someone dared to be unfavorable to Guo Dalu, they would immediately burst out!

Guo Dalu didn't know why Zhao Kang was suddenly angry, but Li Hua was a thoughtful person, he stepped forward and pulled Guo Dalu's sleeve: "Little senior brother, this is your mistake, you just said that the skills of these potters are all inherited from father to son, why do you let them offer secret recipes?"

Guo Dalu sighed and slapped his thigh heavily: "Alas, this Uncle Zhao, you misunderstood, I am not greedy for your pottery method, I just think we can learn from each other - alas, forget it, I can't tell it for a while, anyway, uncle, as long as you know, no one will force you to give up any secrets that are not passed on, on the contrary, I will teach you more ways to make fine ceramics in the future." And my method is taught publicly, not only you potters, but others can learn even if they want to, and whoever learns well, learns quickly, and can come up with a way to further improve, I still have a reward. Uncle Zhao, you should understand in the future that technology can only progress by learning from each other, and it is impossible to rest on your laurels. Of course, in the future, I will also find a way to introduce the method of patents, so that those who are really capable will not suffer. Yes, these are all far away, anyway, uncle, you can live in Houlong Village with peace of mind, my work here is not something that can be done in a few months, or it will take several years. ”

After appeasing Zhao Kang and other potters, Guo Dalu then withdrew and returned to his home, saw Guo Jin, Guo Jin naturally complained again, blamed him for not hiding himself and secretly entering Fengshen Mountain, Guo Dalu listened to this nagging, but his heart was warm, this is the feeling of home, no matter where he is, there are always people at home thinking about you, thinking of you, just like an invisible silk thread, concerned about the heart of the prodigal son.

Guo Dalu took Guo Jin's hand and said, "Dad, when I come back from Tianyi Pavilion, I will definitely think of curing your eyes." Last time, you and the old village chief Zhu gave the elixir to your son to eat, and your son really didn't want to go. ”

Guo Jin patted Guo Dalu on the shoulder: "What's the matter, you are a person who wants to do great things, having a good body is more important than anything else, I am a half-old man, what elixir to eat." --Guo Jin is actually not old, he is in his 30s, but in the Li Dynasty, where the average life expectancy is only 4 or 50 years old, he can indeed be called half-old, not to mention that he has been overly sad since the loss of his son, but he is a little older than his peers.

Guo Dalu's nose was sour, his cheap dad was really good to himself, he said: "Dad, your eyes are not traumatized, but caused by excessive fever, don't worry, sooner or later, I will be able to let you see again!"

Guo Jin wanted to say something, but in the end he just nodded: "If you have this filial piety, I am very happy." If you want to go to Tianyi Pavilion to learn and practice, just go, you don't have to worry about it at home, isn't there Wang Deen. ”

The father and son were pulling the family routine, and suddenly one person rushed in: "Brother Guo! Brother Guo! Chicken! The chick has really hatched! Your artificial egg incubation method really works!"

The one who rushed in was the little young master, but he didn't look like a noble son on weekdays now, his clothes were crumpled, because he hadn't taken a bath for a long time, he could smell the stench on his body eight steps away, his eyes were redder than rabbits, and his face was pale, which looked like the otaku that Guo Dalu had seen before who played games all night and played games day and night.

Guo Dalu was stunned, and then remembered that before he entered Fengshen Mountain, Huang Manyuan and the little young master were being sent by themselves to toss the artificial eggs, counting the days, from the fire pit to today, it has been 21 days, but it is not the day when the chicken comes out of the shell, no wonder he came back with the big black, making such a big move, the whole village was a sensation, but he didn't see Huang Manyuan and the little master in the crowd of greetings, it turned out that both of them were staring at the eggs.

Guo Dalu jumped up: "Let's go, take me to the egg hatching room and take a look!"

The little young master took Guo Dalu and hurriedly ran back to his residence, excitedly muttering along the way how hard he had worked in the past 20 days, because the temperature was difficult to control precisely, he barely slept well, and he had to get up to check the thermometer after squinting slightly, but even so, there were still many eggs that were either too cold or too hot, and finally turned into rotten eggs-

Guo Dalu comforted: "After all, this is the first time you and Huang Manyuan hatch eggs, and if you become skilled in the future, there will not be so many eggs that are hatched." ”

The little young master said proudly: "Of course, at the beginning, Man Yuan and I couldn't even burn the pit well, but now with a handful of firewood, you can burn it overnight, and you can keep the pit temperature not high or low, which is just right." ”

Saying that, the two entered the egg incubation room, Guo Dalu lifted the door curtain, and was almost given a fight by a strong smell of rotten eggs, only to see the hatched eggs placed on the ground, Huang Manyuan was squatting on the ground to open the eggshell, check the dead chicks inside, and there was a book next to it, on which various graphics were drawn with charcoal, take a closer look, but it was different times and different stages, the appearance of the chick when it hatched, and it was faintly a full set of chick hatching and development maps.

Guo Dalu endured the smell and patted Huang Manyuan, who was staring at rotten eggs with his head buried in his head: "Manyuan, well done, I did a good job of the basic process of experiments I taught in the Yixue class, and many experiments can gain new knowledge as long as you observe them carefully." ”

Huang Manyuan raised his head at this time, looked directly at Guo Dalu and said, "You lied to me." ”

Guo Dalu was stunned, and the little young masters next to him shouted: "Huang Manyuan, what stupid things are you talking about? What did Brother Guo lie to you? Let's use this method of incubating eggs taught by Brother Guo, aren't we about to hatch chicks? I heard the sound of chicks pecking at their shells!"

Huang Manyuan's voice was still neither high nor low, he said: "You lie to me, hatching eggs, the temperature should be a little higher in the first few days, and the temperature in the next few days should be a little lower, not all the time." ”

Guo Dalu's eyes lit up, indeed, the temperature of incubating eggs is not static, as large as 35 degrees to 40 degrees, but the temperature can be slightly higher by one to half a degree in the first week, and in the last week, the temperature can be lower, almost half a degree. Unexpectedly, Huang Manyuan observed so carefully that he could even find such a slight temperature difference.

The reason why Guo Dalu did not mention this detail to Huang Manyuan before was because it was the first time they hatched eggs, and they could control a rough temperature, about half a degree, which was too accurate to say. Unexpectedly, an autistic child like Huang Manyuan is the most admitted, and he invests all his body and mind in doing one thing, so when the little masters are happy to hatch the chicks, Huang Manyuan has already discovered the difference of half a degree through careful observation and analysis.

Science wants this kind of serious attitude!

In the "science" created by Guo Dalu, Brother Hao is clever, stupid and honest, the big girl is clever and studious, Li Bo is clever, and the little young masters are curious and changeable, but Huang Manyuan usually does not show his face, but he is just a little tail behind Guo Dalu, and Guo Dalu is also because he is not the face of Huang Dian, he is a big nanny, with Huang Manyuan, who has autism, but he didn't expect that he can do things in a down-to-earth manner and be meticulous, but it is Huang Manyuan who is a little disdainful on weekdays. An autistic child.

Guo Dalu patted Huang Manyuan on the shoulder: "Manyuan, very good, you are very good, you are right, I taught you the method of incubating eggs, not detailed enough, not thorough enough, you can sum up the experience by yourself, it is really amazing." I have long said in Yixue that the spirit of science is that I love my teacher, and I love the truth even more. I've had my mistakes, and when you find out, you have to point them out loud and correct them. Man Yuan, next, can you write a detailed method of incubating eggs, the key points that need to be paid attention to, the exact degree of temperature, all written? Then, you will test the artificial incubation method of duck eggs and goose eggs?" )
