Infrastructure maniacs from the East

Bright candles at night In this era, apart from extravagant night pearls and all kinds of fair natural light, there are only oil lamps and candles used by nobles and religious leaders. Xu Tian asked the housekeeper and Eric specifically, and found that now There is only one kind of candle, beeswax, because the output is scarce and only the cardinal class can use it. There are many kinds of oil for oil lamps, but unfortunately, not many people except nobles can afford the high price of oil, and the shape is not bulky at all. It looks good, but it doesn't meet the young master's aesthetics at all, so I didn't bring it here.

Lord Xu, who is based on the principle of practicality, doesn't care about the so-called image problem. He first asked the housekeeper to confirm that the previous Lord did not leave such expensive items, and then ran to the young master with a plate of frozen fish scales. He asked the young master about all the knowledge about oil lamps in detail, and then asked Merrell to find a similar container to prepare for the experiment.

The animal fat was provided by the men who liked Eric. Xu Tian saw that the wick used cotton thread in modern times, and the farming novels used rush grass that he couldn’t recognize even when he saw it. It reminded him of Robinson Crusoe. Lord Xu Da wittily experimented with hemp thread and wool thread respectively, and finally chose hemp thread.

#I'm so smart#

He shamelessly praised himself. Xu Tian spent half the night doing the experiment. He made tabular records from the brightness of the light to the burning time. In the end, he successfully chose a relatively suitable one and put it on the table. table.

So Xu Tian can also correct documents at night. What a happy (sad) happy (injured) thing for a salted fish. What's worse is that the protagonist of this kid has a burden of two hundred tons and is put on Qinzheng. It's embarrassing to take it off after the person is set up.

This is also an important reason for Xu Xianyu's long-term prosperity.

How miserable.

At night, Xu Tian looked at the five or six large bowls full of grease on the table, smelled the stench from the burning grease, played the role of a good lord very reluctantly, and gritted his teeth while feeling that his brain was going crazy The corrections were readable at any rate, and Melelle waited quietly, seeing that the oil in the bowl was running low, she went up to add some in silence, and when the wick was long, she went up and cut it off. Lord Xu somehow thought of the somewhat ambiguous term Hongxiu Tianxiang, and was shot away by himself in the next second.

#No red sleeves and no fragrance#

#Smelly smell slapping my face indiscriminately#

It's been like this for the whole winter, Melelle didn't say anything, Master Xu couldn't take it anymore, thinking that he would still have to work in such a stinky atmosphere when it was hot in the future, brother Xu would have A desire to jump into a river.

What stopped him in the end was not the beeswax who was reminded, but the river was too dirty for him to jump in.

Well, it is also very realistic.

The beeswax was proposed by the housekeeper who was full of the ability to observe words and colors under such circumstances. Although it can't be used now, it reminded Xu Tian of some knowledge about candles, and he had more or less confidence in the future.

What, you ask the young master, he is not afraid of the dark, and he does not stay up late. Every day when he falls asleep, Lord Xu is still correcting the documents. When eating milk biscuits, Xu Tian is frowning at the font that is not fair. The rhythm of life is basically the sky and the earth, Xu Xianyu is forced to work hard, and the young master just eats and waits to die.

#On the Inversion of People#

#柏树下下酒果，上微树上边天坐#

The young master's life in spring is much easier than Xu Tian, ​​who wished he could grow eight hands and four heads. The good food in one winter made up for the lack of vitality of the child very smoothly. Take a look at Master Xu, who stays up late every day to work and has a pale complexion, the National Treasure Panda. Think about the two people getting together in the same room every day (Xu Tian works, Eric eats snacks), and those who don’t know think that Eric is something that attracts people’s energy As for the goblin, that is, there is no legend of a vixen here, otherwise...

But now the young master also has his own little trouble - he is fat!

Yes, eating nothing but eating all winter brings not only a good spirit, but also a soft round belly and charming double chins. Now Eric has become Ai-Wang-耑— grams.

The little poisonous snake said that he was broken, especially when he wanted to hunt and found that his armor had changed from just right to a tight model. The eyes cast by the knights made the little master want to find a crack in the ground On the same day, I went hunting directly on horseback to consume my energy.

Xu Tian knew through poor biological knowledge that most modern candles are paraffin wax, which is extracted from oil as the name suggests. Lord Xu, who clearly knew that he was not the protagonist, immediately dismissed this unrealistic idea. He wanted to make candles. Now there are two kinds of wax and yellow wax that can be chosen. The white wax is taken from the white wax worms on the privet tree. Not to mention that Xu Tian has not seen it, even if he saw Lord Xu who is poor in knowledge, he would not be able to recognize it. Don't want to smell the stench of animal fat anymore, so he has only one choice.

Beeswax candles.

The most extravagant is also the most useful existence.

The industrious Lord Xu certainly knows that beeswax candles cannot replace the smelly oil lamps, but he only uses them occasionally to improve his life. Thinking about the tragic future of soybean oil that will probably have a stronger smell after the edamame matures, Xu Tian I feel like I have no future.

#Is it too late to raise a few nests of honey now#

#Why I am not a major in petroleum refining#

#咸鱼生无可爱.gif#

The unattractive beeswax was taken out, it carried the last hope of Lord Xu, there were lamps in ancient times that could prevent the smoke from floating into the air, and there were some spices that could cover up the smell of burning, but it was very The self-knowledgeable Lord Xu understands that none of these things can be developed in a short while. Now if you want to live a little luxurious life now and then, you still have to rely on rare and expensive beeswax, and using beeswax to make candles in this era It is still kept secret, and only the top officials of the Holy See can know.

#Everything must be kept secret#

In short, Lord Xu, who only has theoretical knowledge, just went up to the beeswax candle. Since he had seen successful pictures and simple production processes on the Internet, he only failed a few times and got a better result. finished product.

The beeswax that has been picked out of the honey is simply cleaned, and then it is made into a block of relatively uniform size and put into the iron pot. Although the pottery pot can also be used, Brother Xu made a noise in the middle of absorbing it because of the large temperature difference. Just give up when it breaks.

A few scoops of boiling water go straight down and continue to heat, the beeswax that originally kept the honeycomb shape will blend with the water, and it looks like a pot of dirty and not high-value mush (although its appearance was not high before) High), then the sackcloth comes out to filter out the solid impurities, and then cools them in a water bath and picks them out. After solidification, it looks a bit like butter.

Xu Tian specially did it several times during the filtering process, and kept the water that changed color every time. The modern saying is that there are any substances in the water that are suitable for health care products, and Lord Xu can’t do it. If you know so much, you can simply distribute it to the servants to increase nutrition... There are still idioms that taste like chewing wax in modern times, and they will definitely not kill people.

After it is completely solidified, it can be directly heated and melted, poured into a suitable container and cooled again. The seemingly complicated candle making is a trilogy of heating, filtering and cooling, but in many cases, no one guides people for life for seemingly simple things. Unexpectedly, for example, boiling water should be added to beeswax instead of direct heating. This small skill that can be seen everywhere in modern times is also a secret that the knife holder will not tell when it is around the neck, and it has been passed down from generation to generation just like the craftsmanship of craftsmen.

I silently thanked the modern society with knowledge explosion in my heart. Xu Tian ordered a piece to try the effect that night - it was very good, and the most important thing was that the unpleasant smell was finally gone, and the production was simple and the time cost was low... the only one The disadvantage is that the output is also low.

Once again seriously thinking about how to raise more broods of honey, Lord Xu was very reluctant to extinguish it and replace it with a large bowl of oil lamp - it was brighter than ordinary oil lamps, but Xu Tian still had no way to save it without damaging it. Looking at the document with low eyesight, although the brightness is not enough to make up the amount, the amount of beeswax is so small that Brother Xu is a little suffocated, and now he can only rely on continuing to use oil lamps to make ends meet.

But it's a good thing to do.

de

Lord Xu comforted himself with the spirit of Ah Q, and then increased the difficulty of everyone's study without hesitation. Thinking of the wailing of men, women and children tomorrow, Brother Xu, who was already very upset, immediately felt happy, and then thought about himself When he was in high school, he had a small test every day and three days and a big test, and he began to seriously think about whether to increase the frequency of the test. Anyway, he was only responsible for reviewing the questions, not writing the questions and correcting the papers. My boss advocates the nine-nine-six working system, so he can't be too far behind, right?

#Work makes subordinates happy#

#Staying up late is intoxicating#

Thinking of the endless work that the freedmen have to do from morning to night every day, Lord Xu kindly assigned only a few math problems as homework. Compared with his daily routine of more than 40 papers during the three-day vacation in high school, Xu Tian felt that he It was so kind.

The benevolent lord kept sketching on the paper, with an unpredictable smile on the corner of his mouth, and his black hair was casually tied with hemp rope, which inadvertently attracted Meler's attention. Standing quietly on the side, he couldn't take his eyes off Xu Tian's hair when he didn't need to add lamp oil.

There is no end to work.

The lord who just fell asleep in the early morning said this to himself. Melelle stepped forward to massage the lord skillfully to relieve his fatigue. On the bed, under the light of the lamp, his cold white skin shone with a pearly luster.

The lord was a little thinner than before, but the lines of his back looked more beautiful. His shoulder blades fluttered like butterfly wings in the slightly cold air, and he occasionally moaned vaguely.

The author has something to say: the last paragraph is Meler's inner thoughts, let's cast aside this man who is bewitched by men!
