Yang Yuyao and the others still cooked lunch in the temporary yard outside the portable wooden house, instead of finding a nearby restaurant that provided catering. In this world, when a place is particularly prosperous, there are usually no good restaurants or inns within a day or two of walking distance. At most, there are tea shops set up by nearby villagers, where you can buy some thirst-quenching tea and food. Dry food and simple food.

Because people always think that since they are not far from the city gate, they should be patient and not spend too much money. Maybe they will spend a lot of money after entering the city! If you really can't, take longer steps and walk faster, so you can enter the city earlier. Under the influence of this choice, most people opened larger restaurants and inns, and there was little business, so no one gradually opened them.

The food provided by the tea shop is definitely not as good as what you cook yourself. If you want to eat good food, the closest place in the surrounding area is Huacheng. Not to mention whether the shops in Huacheng can reopen now, thinking that they have been traveling back and forth in the past two days. I visited Hwaseong several times, and it seemed like I was under some strange curse that kept me from leaving. Therefore, no one mentioned Hwaseong, and they didn’t even want to look in that direction. I was afraid that if they took one more look, they would have to go back to Huacheng.

Although they still have a lot of ingredients stored in their space ring, since there is a half-grown wild boar wandering around their camp stupidly, it would be a shame to not catch it and eat it, which is a gift from God. So You Shuangjiang made a beautiful flying knife and easily killed the wild boar. They then depilated, skinned and cut up the wild boar. Zhu Molan taught them how to pre-process the bristles on the wild boar's back so that they could later be processed into useful bristle brushes.

"Can this be made into a comb?" Yang Yuyao asked in surprise.

"Yes, and the comb is very easy to use. Combing hair can make the hair smooth and less tangled." You Shuangjiang said affirmatively, "You can give it a try when the comb is ready."

"Yu Yao, haven't you ever used a boar bristle comb?" Zhu Molan was a little surprised. She felt that Yang Yuyao didn't seem like a person who lacked good things. Although this mane comb is not a magic weapon, it is still a very popular item among monks. After all, being able to maintain long, black and beautiful hair is a tireless pursuit of people in this world, regardless of gender. "Then what do you usually use a bristle brush for? And how do you maintain such good hair quality?"

The reason why Zhu Molan asked that was because the person who suggested keeping the wild boar bristles was Yang Yuyao, but Yang Yuyao's original plan was to use these wild boar bristles to find craftsmen for processing. I didn't expect that Zhu Molan actually knew how to do this, and I didn't expect that Zhu Molan thought that the brush he wanted to make was for combing his hair...

"It is used to process precision parts. After all, boar bristles are anti-static and have excellent toughness and hardness. However, the static electricity removal can indeed be used to reduce hair knotting." Yang Yuyao answered while analyzing , found that boar bristles are indeed feasible for combing hair. "As for maintenance...does it count if I wash my hair more frequently?"

"Yu Yao, what does static electricity mean?" Li Fengzhi asked doubtfully before Zhu Molan was about to speak.

"It is a form of electricity. When it is cold and dry, you will make a crackling sound when you take off your clothes, or you will suddenly feel a tingling sensation as if you have been stabbed by something when you touch others. If you can still see the electric light at night For a flash, these are phenomena visible to the naked eye due to static electricity." Yang Yuyao replied.

"I have indeed encountered this phenomenon, but why does this make hair tangled?" Li Fengzhi was still confused.

Yang Yuyao thought for a moment, then took out some items from the space ring and rubbed them with each other. Then he put the rubbed piece of yellow grease close to Li Fengzhi's hair. The hair that was not tied into the ponytail instantly flew up and was attached to it. On top of the yellow color. Li Fengzhi watched the strand of his hair take off in surprise, thinking that Yang Yuyao had quietly performed some magic.

"This is also a static electricity phenomenon, not a magic method. With similar materials, mortals can also produce such effects." Yang Yuyao, who guessed Li Fengzhi's thoughts, explained, "You can see that Huang Zezhi is charged with static electricity. It will produce obvious adsorption phenomenon on the hair. Static electricity can be generated by friction of objects, and friction on the hair itself will also bring about static electricity."

"In addition, the structure of the hair itself is not a complete one. It is made up of many small scale-like structures that are closely stacked together. When I have time, I will make a magical instrument that can observe the microstructure, and you can see it for yourself. Take a look at what it looks like. Lack of water and damaged hair will cause these scale-like structures to no longer fit tightly together, and static electricity will also cause this state. This is like hair turning into a bunch of thorny vines. The hair will be attracted to each other, and if you are not careful, your hair will naturally become entangled and inseparable."

"Does that mean static electricity will cause hair quality to deteriorate?" Zhu Molan understood Yang Yuyao's explanation, but her focus was a little off.

"It will indeed be so." Yang Yuyao nodded. "So although I have never used a boar bristle comb, I believe what you said about using it to comb your hair is good for your hair. After all, the brush made of boar bristle has the very important property of eliminating static electricity."

"Fellow Daoist He, have you ever used a mane comb for Yu Yao?" Zhu Molan asked He Qianqing instead. Seeing He Qianqing combing Yang Yuyao's hair, she understood why Yang Yuyao always wore a hairstyle that just suited the behavior of bundling hair. Thanks to Yang Yuyao's excellent appearance, he had such a low ponytail. It’s a bit unbearable to wear a hairstyle that is almost equivalent to untied hair in the eyes of people in this world. Damn Yang Yuyao doesn't have a better hairstyle, it's because He Qianqing spoiled him and he doesn't know how to do it!

"Xiao Yao's hair is of excellent quality and almost never gets tangled. Just use an ordinary wooden comb, not a mane comb." He Qianqing looked at Yang Yuyao and replied with a smile.

"Oh, as expected, it is talent that defeats hard work." Zhu Molan sighed. They tried their best to use the best combs and carefully applied hair care balm on their hair, but they still couldn't compare to Yang Yuyao, who was very rough. The care method takes care of the hair quality. It makes me sad just thinking about it.

"That's great, my hair gets knotted easily." Li Fengzhi said enviously. His hair is very thick and hard, and this kind of hair is usually not so easy to get knotted. But Li Fengzhi’s current hair quality is indeed not very good. This may be caused by years of malnutrition and neglect of hair care.

In this world, people's emphasis on hair has promoted the maturity of hair care technology, and there are even hair growth products at various price points. Probably because of this, there are very few people in this world who can go bald naturally. Rich people are willing to invest a lot of money to get beautiful hair and proudly use it as capital to show off. This allows experienced people to tell whether a person is rich or poor based on hair quality alone.

There is a story in Yang Yuyao's book that records anecdotes. It is said that an unlearned and unskilled widower suddenly remarried a woman who never let him go out. Because no one had seen the widower's new wife, the neighbors thought he was lying and had never married a new wife. Until one day, a hair seller passed by and was stopped by the widower to sell a handful of hair.

There are also products like wigs in this world, but their main purpose is to create exaggerated and gorgeous hairstyles for ladies. However, because people cherish their hair and will not sell it easily, they can be made from real human hair. Wigs sell for extremely high prices.

Naturally, the purchase price of hair as a raw material is also not low. The price of good hair can even last an ordinary person a year. But if they are not desperate, there will be almost no one selling their hair. Those who do sell hair are basically too poor to take the blame, and the quality of their hair will naturally not be much better. Therefore, the fact that a handful of hair can be sold for such a high price almost only exists in market legends.

In the story, the widower mysteriously pulls the salesman into an alley and leaves him waiting instead of letting him into his home. After a while, the widower brought a bunch of hair wrapped in cloth that was obviously just cut off. The hair was of excellent texture, soft and smooth, and had a very good gloss. Once you touched it, you could tell that it was definitely a woman’s hair, and She is not an ordinary woman. A woman who can take good care of her hair should not appear in such a place.

So the salesman left in a hurry on the pretense that he didn't have enough money to buy hair of such quality and wanted to get it. After confirming that the widower had not followed, the salesman rushed to the Yamen to report to the official. At first, the salesman was regarded as being unreasonable, but it wasn't until he revealed what kind of family a woman with such hair quality must come from that the people in the government took notice.

The ending of the story is that the government discovered that the widower's new wife turned out to be the lost lady of the Protector's family. The lady was lured home by the widower and imprisoned. Although he was rescued, he died soon after due to excessive shock.

Yang Yuyao didn't know if this story had a real prototype. If so, the salesman might not be an ordinary person. After all, it is unlikely that an ordinary salesman, who is in the business of buying hair, can judge the hair of a woman from a family of what level just by touching a handful of hair. You must know that the more high-ranking officials and dignitaries are, the harder it is for ordinary people to see their female relatives. Not to mention knowing how their hair feels.

However, art has always exaggerated beyond reality. In reality, it is definitely not that accurate, and there is still some interference. Since it is not a true record of the case, it is enough to take a look at it for entertainment and learn about the customs of this world.

"Otherwise, how about hunting a few more wild boars?" Zhu Molan said with a smile. A wild boar doesn't have many bristles, so it can't be used as a brush. It's definitely not enough for everyone. Although there are many wild boars, brushes made of wild boar bristles can be considered valuable items. Wild boars are extremely dangerous, and even for extremely experienced hunters, hunting them is still risky. Therefore, the pig-bristle brushes available on the market are basically replaced by domestic pig bristles. If it is used for cleaning, it is enough, but if it is used as a comb, the hardness of domestic pig bristles is not enough.

"I don't think it's necessary. This thing is not necessary for me." Yang Yuyao said, indicating that he didn't need it. For now, pork is more attractive to him than bristle. Especially He Qianqing decided to get involved and roasted half of the pork. As for the other half, it will be stewed and eaten.

Stewed meat can be said to be the favorite way for ordinary families in the world to make meat. Slicing it and frying it will not produce much meat. Mincing the meat filling is time-consuming and laborious, and you have to buy almost the most expensive semi-fat and lean meat without bones. The butcher who sells meat will not help chop the meat.

For stew, you only need to simply divide the purchased bone-in meat into several pieces, add water and other ingredients to stew into a large pot that looks full. Even though most of the food in your mouth is bones, you can still taste the meat. Moreover, the soup can be dipped into pancakes or used to make rice. For ordinary people whose food has always been mediocre, eating like this is very satisfying.

You Shuangjiang and Li Fengzhi like to stew meat. The main reason is that it is the easiest. If there is less water, add more water. If there is more water, just wait for the water to dry out. There is no need to control the heat so precisely. Even taking a short trip is no problem.

"Fengzhi." Yang Yuyao saw Li Fengzhi sit down to rest after chopping firewood, so he walked to him and sat down and asked, "Has your grandfather told you the specific process of taking you in?"

"Of course. Yu Yao, do you want to hear it?" Li Fengzhi immediately got excited and asked.

"Well, I'm a little curious." Yang Yuyao admitted, and Li Fengzhi started talking.

"Yuyao, when you were in Tongling Town, did you notice that there was a river outside our town?" Li Fengzhi asked, Yang Yuyao nodded, "This river goes a little distance toward the city, and there is a small People in the town call it a turn, because things floating down from the upper stream often rush into this corner and get stuck, just like a doudou holds things. My grandfather was in the turn. Discovered me."

"He said that I was placed in a wooden basin and floated on the water in Doudouwan. There were too many different things washed up in Doudouwan. The townspeople passing by took it for granted and generally ignored it. If there is something important, people from the upper reaches will come to look for and salvage it. At first, grandpa didn’t pay attention to the wooden basin, until he heard my cry. So grandpa found a long stick on the spot and hooked the wooden basin to the shore. Next to me, he saw me lying in the basin. He said that I must have been less than a year old at the time, and my clothes were full of blood. So he took me to Dr. Wen, who was still alive at the time, for examination."

"Doctor Wen said that I must have been about eight months old at that time, and there was only a little bruise on my body. The blood stains should be the blood of the person who put me in the tub. Maybe it was my parents. They met a bad person and were in a hurry. They could only put me in a wooden basin and float away in the river. Grandpa waited for a long time hoping that someone would come and pick me up, but no one came from the beginning to the end. Thinking that my parents were no longer alive, they decided to adopt me."

Li Fengzhi looked depressed. He had no memory of his parents, but he felt very sad when he thought that they had passed away long ago and that the grandfather who adopted him and raised him did not die well. He didn't know if it was his bad fate that killed his relatives.

"Sorry, maybe I shouldn't ask." Yang Yuyao noticed Li Fengzhi's sadness and apologized.

"It doesn't matter," Li Fengzhi shook his head vigorously and said, "I am willing to share my past and future with Yu Yao."

"Xiao Yao, why do you suddenly want to ask him these questions?" He Qianqing, who was roasting half a wild boar at the side, asked via voice message.

"I wanted to use deduction techniques to calculate Fengzhi's life experience, but I didn't expect..." Yang Yuyao replied, thinking about how to comfort the young man.
