Chapter 9 Reading
For two days in a row, Cheng Jinzhou selected 3 books, read 4.5 words, used up more than [-] stone grains, and found a needle in a haystack. Not only did there not appear refreshing books on chemical applications, but even basic applications I can't see any of them, and the worst thing is that there is a book that uses earthworm literature from an unknown country.

"If we keep doing this, we will go bankrupt." Cheng Jinzhou would say this every time he finished reading a book, but after copying it, he would buy it again.

The biggest advantage of the traverser, if you don't use it, you'd be too stupid.Although what he is doing now is not smart.

The small accountants are more comfortable than him. They come to copy for three or four hours a day, and they can have a big day off.The work is much easier than usual, it's just that the content of the transcription is muddled, and it can't be copied wrong, but that's all.

If nothing disturbs him, Cheng Jinzhou might look for money again in exchange for food, and then continue reading until he can't get any money, or he won't stop until he finds a book on steelmaking, ironmaking, and glassmaking. As for how to use the resources at hand, he I really didn’t have time to think about it.

People across time prefer to save the country by industry, or make money by industry, theoretical mathematics and English literature are too far away from the real world - at least in Cheng Jinzhou's view.

However, before Cheng Jinzhou really went bankrupt, the day of worshiping the ancestors would come.

Worshiping ancestors is a big deal, especially for women at home.

The night before, Cheng's mother dug out all the things she had prepared countless days ago, and re-checked each one, lest there be any omissions, Cheng Jinzhou would inevitably be taken out, and tried on three sets of clothes back and forth.

The three sets of clothes are all made of Nanhu silk and satin. The two green and red gowns with tassels are worn when worshiping the ancestors. Suo'er has prepared two sets - gentleman Peiyu, according to the Cheng family's rules, minors can only wear gold and silver.

The gown worn when worshiping the ancestors is the most complicated. It has three layers inside and out. The material is very soft and comfortable, but after three or four wraps, the tight and dry heat replaces the smooth touch.It's like applying too much toner or cleanser.

Cheng Jinzhou twisted his body vigorously, and while fighting against the two girls, he said dissatisfiedly: "Mother, it only takes half a day to worship the ancestors, and one gown is enough, why make another one, and you can't wear it on weekdays." .”

Since time travel, he no longer has any psychological burden when it comes to addressing people.

Cheng's mother looked her son up and down, pulled her hands from time to time, and said casually: "What if you tear it up or hang it up, what should you do if this is the case, the more you can't make mistakes, the whole family, and The visiting guests, how many people are watching."

Cheng Jinzhou said with the expression and tone inherited from the sick child Cheng: "This dress is quite expensive, and it is not allowed to be worn except for ancestor worship. When I am next year, it must be too small."

"Oh, I've learned to be frugal." Cheng's mother praised him first, and then said: "You can't save the money that should be spent. This year, our family is only you as a son-in-law. We must be perfect."

Suddenly, Cheng Jinzhou couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.One piece of Nanhu gown, not counting manual work, costs at least 20 taels of silver, and two pieces of 40 taels of silver are just to wear for a morning. The cost is not low at all.If it is calculated according to the price of grain, at least it will cost 1200 US dollars, and if it is converted into the output value of modern land, it will be multiplied by three or four times.Its cost is about the same as what stars in the 21st century spent on the Oscars.

The most important thing is that this is still the cost of one of his children. The Cheng family is a large family with four branches. There are tens of hundreds of children and grandchildren in each family. Items, can use up less than half of the town's tax revenue.

After thinking about it, Cheng Jinzhou soon became happy again and said, "Then I will be the first one to pull out the flowers?"

The so-called "Pu Qing" means the blessing of the ancestors, which is somewhat similar to "Zhou Zhou". After the ancestor worship is over, the gifts given by some guests are screened out and the children are asked to choose one.The difference is that the children participating in the drawing must be between 8 and 15 years old, they have reached the age to be able to distinguish good from bad, and at the same time, the gifts they get from drawing out do not need to be returned.

However, pulling out is also the beginning of the children's deepest contact with this hierarchical society-different children enter different rooms, and the order is always arranged according to the order of concubine, seniority and academic performance. Children are eligible to participate in the selection of young children in the clan, and the remaining people must be organized by each household.

Different family backgrounds and status, the final gifts are naturally different.

Thinking of being able to choose one of his favorite things among the countless gifts presented by guests, like a big free gift from a supermarket, Cheng Jinzhou almost forgot the tightness caused by the long coat. out of the shadow of bankruptcy.

Mother Cheng nodded with a light smile, and said, "I don't know who the old lady will favor this year. You should review your homework carefully, so that you don't fail to answer when the time comes."

The Zhang family, like most aristocratic families, will invite relatives and friends to come to watch the ceremony, not to mention the five uncles in Cheng Jinzhou, except for a few in other provinces, who must attend on time and have duties. All the members of the same family have to ask for leave.

Logically speaking, in the absence of Erfang, as the only grandson of the Qing branch, and the largest branch of the Cheng family, Cheng Jinzhou must be the first to enter the room. In fact, in the memory of the sick child Cheng Here, in previous years, he and his brother Cheng Jinye would enter the room alternately.But Cheng's mother couldn't speak too slowly. At least, there were two girls standing next to her.

Cheng Jinzhou also smiled and stopped talking, immersed in the longing for Baqing, imagining that he would find a gift worth a thousand dollars, so that all problems about money would no longer be a problem.

Of course, this is entirely his fantasy. The gifts for Baqing are also selected and listed in the room. Not only must the value be determined, but there are also many details. It is not simply to put all the guests' gifts in. Leakage is almost impossible.

……

In the evening, as usual, I read a book.

Although Euclid's conclusions in "Elements of Geometry" are not much different from the geometry in junior high school, the main value of the original geometry—at least the current value, is mainly reflected in the process of getting the conclusions, and the longer the research, the better the quality. The more smacked the flavor becomes.

There are probably more mathematicians who have become famous by studying geometric primitives than those who have made famous by studying the theory of relativity.

Cheng Jinzhou does not expect to focus on the journey of his predecessors, but he tries to find the traces of the star warlock through the only books in his home. As an old boy who has received nearly 20 years of education, Cheng Jinzhou does not think that he still has Opportunities to change your mindset, and as such, adapt to the world.

The longer he came to this world, the stronger Cheng Jinzhou's sense of reality became. If he was lucky at the beginning and hoped that it would be Nankey Yimeng, after a month, he completely substituted himself into the new identity.

After time travel, people's psychology will also become different. Just like looking back at the world, new understandings, new identities, and new environments always inspire people to move forward.

Cheng Jinzhou has a deep sense of crisis.

Here, it is no longer the peaceful and peaceful world that I am familiar with.

Being born into an aristocratic family is a kind of luck, but competition for favor and profit is not uncommon. Cheng Jinzhou has never missed the family planning policy so much.

Whenever he thinks of the sorrow of his relatives who have been marginalized, he can't help but have an upward motivation. At first, he still couldn't find his way, but after having the Astral Library, these problems are no longer a problem at all.

Turning over "Elements of Geometry", Cheng Jinzhou tried his best to recall every bit of the classroom experience. In this era, even a little bit may bring about great changes.
