Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 84

Jin Yu was very depressed, he was not used to the life in early Tang Dynasty, there was nothing he could do about it, his productivity was too low, and he was too far away from later generations.Let’s take a kitchen knife as an example, the blade can be rolled after chopping a few bones, which is why there is a story of “Paod Ding Jie Niu” in ancient times, but there is no such and such legend of chopping bones, the hardness of steel can’t reach it.

Jinyu originally planned to sell the scythe and shaved ice together, but the ice is easy to make, and the scythe is easy to make, but the candle for making fire is difficult to produce! (Fazhu: It originated in the Song Dynasty, and it is a wooden stick dipped in sulfur.) It is easy for you to chop wood with an axe, and you can do it with a little force, but you can’t use too much force for this small piece of wood. Not to mention that it can't be cut off, and it's easy to break. You can't use your own saber, right?How many chips can a saber cut in a day?Besides, Jin Yu is not willing.Jinyu had no choice but to go to the iron shop to buy some high-quality knives. The effect was much better, but it still didn’t last long (good iron is basically used to forge weapons, and no one wants to waste it on daily utensils, even agricultural ones. The utensils are cast iron, not steel.)
Now Jin Yu is completely out of control, and it is still the great man's words: "Do it yourself, and have enough food and clothing." Jin Yu recalled the materials he learned in the exhibition room of the military factory during his university internship, trying to find a more practical one. The method of steelmaking does not require a large scale, as long as it is practical.After all, Jin Yu didn't plan to build a large-scale factory. Feudal society is generally run by iron and salt officials. If he fails to do so, he will be labeled as a "rebel". Jin Yu is not confident that he can carry it, or Keep a low profile.

During Jin Yu’s internship, the director of the workshop where he worked was originally from Hangzhou. It is said that his ancestors were blacksmiths and good at forging steel. His father worked in the fourth division’s arsenal before liberation and personally forged the powerful “Snow Maple Knife” "According to him, it was the Su steel made by his father that was used at that time. (The Xuefeng knife is indeed rough in workmanship and has a 32-style appearance, but it is really easy to use. Personally, I think it is not only due to the steel, but also human habits and mechanical design.)
So Jinyu started technological innovation. His purpose was simple, to forge a batch of sharpening knives, and then get a few sets of kitchen utensils.

Jin Yu managed to forge a piece of steel with great difficulty. What would it look like if Zheng asked the craftsman to forge it? Cheng Huaimo is here.

Speaking of Cheng Huaimo, this kid has had a great time in recent days. After Zhen Liquan's verification report came out, Cheng Huaimo immediately told his father the result, and he was inevitably praised by his father.Since he learned about the two heavens, he has been actively practicing and enjoying it, and every time he comes, he walks away with a plate of ice.Today, walking with two bowls in hand shows signs of drifting.

"Take it easy, go on like this, be careful that you'll be wasted for the rest of your life!" Jin Yu gave Cheng Huaimo a helpless look. He has nothing against Cheng Huaimo now, after all, it's his first taste of meat, and there are too few entertainment activities at night. It is inevitable to have more fun, and this is what happens when you have too much fun.

"Hey." Cheng Huaimo got used to it, and didn't meet Jin Yu, and said, "What day is it, it's really comfortable, how did big brother learn?"

"You can't teach yourself?" Jin Yu left the drawings drawn with charcoal to the craftsman, and dragged Cheng Huaimo out of the side yard.It's not that he shy away from Cheng Huaimo, it's because it's too hot.

Cheng Huaimo handed Jin Yu a bowl of shaved ice that had already been served, and while chewing, he asked obscenely: "Self-study? Cut, don't think that my little brother is easy to fool."

"If you don't believe me, brother is an upright person after all." Jin Yu rolled his eyes at Cheng Huaimo, and he didn't say anything afterwards: With the developed Internet in later generations, is there any information?The educational film of Foot Pot Chicken sells well all over the world, but this cannot be said and heard by everyone, as lonely as snow...

Cheng Huaimo was busy with his mouth, so he didn't speak when he could, saving time to swallow the shaved ice.Shaking his head like a rattle, expressing his disbelief.

Cheng Huaimo didn't believe it, and Jin Yu had no choice but to create a computer for him out of thin air to observe.

"Okay, let's get down to business." The joke is almost over, Cheng Huaimo explained the purpose of coming today, it is definitely not to get shaved ice, of course this can be done easily, "When is the birthday of the eldest brother?"

"This ```" Jin Yu really doesn't know, how to convert this?He really didn't count! "Why do you ask this? It's still early."

"I'm not celebrating your birthday. I'm asking for your name. I have to close the horoscope and go through the motions." Cheng Huaimo was really speechless to this big brother, who didn't know this?It seems that the good man is not clear about everything, let him regain some confidence.

"Didn't you just send a wild goose there two days ago? Why is it so troublesome to get married?" Engagements in future generations are not so troublesome. Usually, they meet the parents of both parties and agree to set a date and give a bride price in the future. Just got the certificate.

"That's called Na Cai, and Dian Yan is just one of the links." Cheng Huaimo managed to catch something that Jin Yu didn't know, of course he wouldn't miss it, and explained with a showy mentality: "Now this is called asking the name, sister-in-law's birthday The horoscope has already been placed in the father's place. When it comes back to the elder brother's birthday, it will be Najib. There will also be a geese laying ceremony, and at the same time there must be the presence of respected elders, mainly to testify to the property of the married couple. Beware of reconciliation in the future."

Jin Yu was stunned when he heard that, he didn't expect that the ancient times were so advanced that there was a pre-marital notarization system!

Cheng Huaimo enjoyed Jin Yu's expression very much, and continued: "After all the above is done, it is the acceptance, that is, the gift. Brother, hurry up? The gift is not good enough, or Uncle Qin would not agree, haha."

"Smile, keep talking." Jin Yu glared at Cheng Huaimo, telling him to continue talking.Chen Rui didn't mention it before. At that time, he only said that everything should be kept simple, thinking that it would be enough to pay a visit to the temple. How could he think it would be so troublesome?It would be difficult for him to ask Chen Rui again, after all he is still a bachelor, why not ask Cheng Huaimo who married early.

"I have given the gift, and I will ask for a date. After calculating the auspicious date, it is enough for the eldest brother to marry his sister-in-law." Cheng Huaimo frowned, remembering when he got married, and said: "The most troublesome thing is to welcome you personally, little brother I was tricked by a matchmaker for a day when we greeted you. It can’t be wrong, it’s very particular. When the time comes, big brother will just follow the assignment.”

Jin Yu frowned, it seems that weddings are very important these days, it is necessary to find someone who understands to do a rehearsal first.Cheng Huaimo, a half-assed person, may not be very clear about the links inside.

"Big brother hasn't told my little brother's date of birth yet, so I'm going to report back immediately." Cheng Huaimo finished eating the shaved ice in the bowl and remembered his errands.

"I am a rat, and my birthday is November [-]." Jin Yu really didn't know how to convert, so he told the zodiac signs and birthdays of later generations.

"The year of Bingzi, the month of Gengzi, and the day of Yiyou. What about the eight characters?" Cheng Huaimo was used to the calculation of the heavenly stems and earthly branches, and Jin Yu reported the date of the early Tang Dynasty as soon as he opened his mouth.

"It's not a moment." Jin Yu is quite clear about this, because Grandpa Tang gave him a piece of paper before his death, on which his birth date and name were written.

"Yes, not much older than my younger brother." Cheng Huaimo saw that the age difference between the two was almost the same, and educated Jin Yu with earnestness and earnestness: "Look at my younger brother, I am almost a father, so you should hurry up, elder brother."

"Fuck you." Jin Yu glared at Cheng Huaimo and asked, "When is my sister-in-law's birthday?"

"Brother, don't you know?" Cheng Huaimo was a little surprised. Jin Yu didn't know about this and dared to get engaged?Are you not afraid of the horoscope?People these days still believe in this, otherwise the business of Yuan Tiangang, an old magician, would not be so booming.

Seeing Jin Yu's glaring angry face, Cheng Huaimo hurriedly said: "The year of Wuyin, the month of Bingchen, the day of Jimao."

"In layman's terms!" Jin Yu was still waiting for Cheng Huaimo, didn't he know that he didn't understand?Isn't this just to tease yourself?
"It's a tiger, born on the [-]th of March." Cheng Huaimo saw Jin Yu's angry look, so don't say anything, picked up a basin of ice that he had packed before looking for Jin Yu, and ran away, talking while running : "Farewell, little brother, see you tomorrow!"
