Tragedy of Time Traveling Companion Reading

"At the beginning of human beings, one's nature is good, similar in nature, but distant in habits, if one does not teach, one's nature is the way to be taught, and specialization is the most important thing. Former Mencius's mother, choose a neighbor, and children do not learn from it, and cut off the machine..."

Seriously, the father-in-law silently said the "Three Character Classic" for a while, and Han Yan looked at it with satisfaction.Then put pinyin under each Chinese character, and the special enlightenment reading material for Wei Qing is considered complete.Putting the bamboo slips on the table beside him, Han Yan rubbed her swollen and painful wrist, lamenting again how inconvenient it is to travel to the Han Dynasty!I don't even have any paper, so it's very tiring to write on the bamboo slips!

It seems that there is a way to get the paper out.Before going to sleep, Han Yan thought in a daze.

Early the next morning, Han Yan got dressed under Chuntao's service.Before going out, he asked casually: "Are there any skilled craftsmen in the house?"

Chuntao looked at Han Yan in a daze, not knowing why the Second Young Master asked such a question.However, he still replied: "Lao Li, the gardener in the courtyard, did a good job of handicrafts, what's the matter with the second young master?"

"I have something to do, let him come to my study later." Han Yan said, got up and went to the study.

Gonggaohou's Mansion is a famous family, so the treatment for the heirs is good.Even though Han Yan is just a concubine, but with Han Tuidang's favor, the cost of food and clothing is about the same as that of a concubine.

After leaving the room, Han Yan first wandered to the kitchen to get a carbon stick, and then wandered slowly to her exclusive study.Randomly took out a few pieces of delicate lambskin and drew a few blueprints, Han Yan sighed with blood dripping from her heart.It was too extravagant.This is pure and high-quality lambskin!

But the meal needs to be eaten bite by bite, and the work needs to be done little by little.By far the most important thing is to improve your own life.Benefiting the society is nothing but floating clouds!In order not to grow up with short, fat and bowlegged legs, tables, chairs and benches are the most important.And if he remembers correctly, the raw materials of Caihou paper seem to be tree bark, broken fishnets, rags, hemp heads, etc...

This kind of thing should be handed over to the servants and let them go to the outer court to do it!

"Second Young Master, your name is the young one?"

When Han Yan, who was full of imagination, finished drawing the blueprint, the gardener Lao Li happened to arrive outside the door.He was leaning over with a cramped face to look inside!

"You are Lao Li? Come in!" Han Yan said, beckoning Lao Li to come in.

"Second Young Master!" Lao Li walked in cautiously, and became even more cautious when he saw the unusually luxurious furnishings in the room.How can servants like them who do rough work have the right to enter the master's study room!

"Master Li, take a look at the blueprint in my hand, can it be made?" Han Yan looked at Lao Li's appearance and understood his restraint.But this kind of thing is not something he can change alone.Not to mention the Han Dynasty, even the later generations who advocated equality and justice still divided people into different classes?

"The younger ones don't dare, the second son can just call the younger Lao Li." Lao Li said, bending even lower.

Han Yan frowned and said nothing more.He just pushed the drawings on the table to Lao Li. "Although these things were not available before, it is not very difficult to make them."

Hearing this, Lao Li carefully moved forward, looked at the strange thing painted on the lambskin, and tilted his head in doubt. "Second Young Master, these are..."

"This is a table and chair." Han Yan replied lightly.

"Then what is this?" Lao Li pointed to the lower left corner of the sheepskin and asked suspiciously.

"That's centimeters—" Han Yan suddenly lost her voice.He forgot, where did the Han Dynasty get centimeters!It's all said that he is superfluous, so why draw that on it when you have nothing to do!

"Don't worry about this, the height of the table I want is about here, the height of the chair is about here, the height of the back of the chair..." Han Yan said, comparing with empty hands.

As expected of a professional, Lao Li was stunned to understand Han Yan's empty-handed comparison without technical content.Putting the lambskin in his arms, he bowed to Han Yan and said, "Don't worry, Second Young Master, the younger one will finish the finished product in three days."

The reason why it took three days was because Han Yan not only spent the tables and chairs, but also designed the tricks in a romantic way.But even so, three days is enough.

Han Yan nodded and said nothing. Seeing that Han Yan had no other orders, Lao Li immediately bowed and left.For him, facing his master like this is really frightening, even if the master is a five-year-old child.

After sending Lao Li away, Han Yan ordered the grinder to pour a plate of clean water to wash off the black foam on his hands.Then he wandered off to the kitchen again——

It was almost noon.Since the last time I made fresh fish and sheep, Han Yan has made two new dishes every day.He really couldn't bear the tasteless meals in the Han Dynasty.

After arriving at the kitchen, a group of people had already gathered in the kitchen looking forward to it.They are all cooks who are ready to steal.Han Yan didn't care too much, anyway, they were born in Gong Gaohou's family, and they just happened to make the best use of them.Could it be possible to make him cook every day?

"Second Young Master, what orders do you have today?" The master bowed his waist and asked with a flattering smile.

"Is there any sugar?" He wants to make a pot of meat today, sweet and sour, it should be good.

"This... there is sugar, but..." In view of the advanced words that Han Yan blurted out from time to time, everyone in the Gonggaohou Mansion is used to it. As long as they guess according to the words they understand, they are almost inseparable.

"How?" Han Yan rolled her eyes, knowing that things would not go so smoothly.

"Is honey okay?"

"Honey is not good, I want white sugar." Han Yan said firmly, because the taste of pot-packed meat made with honey is not as good as white sugar. Han Yan has always been very persistent in this kind of thing.

"But Second Young Master, we have never seen white sugar!" The master was extremely embarrassed.

"Is there sucrose?" Han Yan had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly remembered that the teacher said that the earliest white sugar was purified from sucrose.

"Yes, yes, but..."

"Bring it here!" Han Yan ordered.

"..."

After a while, the master put the ashes in front of Han Yan.

"What is this?" Han Yan pinched a small piece with her fingers and asked suspiciously.

"This is sucrose," said the master.

It dawned on Han Yan that these should have been blasted directly from the sugar cane, and they were all condensed into small pieces, and occasionally some untreated bagasse could be seen.

"It's so primitive!" Han Yan murmured.

"What?" The master asked subconsciously, not understanding Han Yan's words.

"It's okay." Han Yan came back to her senses, looked at Huitang in front of her, and curled her lips. "How much of this sucrose is there in the mansion?"

"...The sucrose was purchased just two days ago for the servants to eat, and there are about fifty catties left." The master thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty.

"Enough." Han Yan said, dropped the sucrose in her hand, clapped her palms and said, "Bring them all here. By the way, prepare a big tank for me, a lot of gauze, lime water and charcoal, and a bendable the tube. It must be airtight.”

"Yes!" The servants in the kitchen listened and hurried to prepare.

After a while, all the things Han Yan wanted were placed in the kitchen.Due to the great commotion, Han Diaodang, who had just returned from court, was also attracted.

"Ayan, what are you doing?" Han Tuidang asked with a smile as he watched the crowd bustle with enthusiasm.

"Grandpa, Ah Yan will cook something delicious for you today, but first you need to get some condiments." Han Yan said, first ordering everyone to pour all the sucrose into the water tank, and pour all the prepared lime water into it.Everyone looked at Han Yan's actions with regretful eyes.

"Ayan, what are you doing?" Han Tuidang also frowned in confusion.In his memory, although Ah Yan tried to enjoy some, she didn't waste it.

"Grandpa, I want to turn these into sugar." Han Yan said simply.I can't explain the details clearly, and they will naturally know later.

"You muddy the sucrose and lime water." Han Yan continued to order.Seeing that the substances in the water tank were almost mixed, Han Yan ordered everyone to filter out the impurities in the water with gauze.In fact, this step is best to add additives such as lime and sulfur dioxide to decolorize the sugarcane juice, and produce CaSO3 precipitation to remove impurities in the sugarcane juice to obtain clear juice.However, the current conditions are insufficient, and Han Yan can't find sulfur dioxide, so he has to use lime water and carbon dioxide instead.

At this time, the liquid in the tank is relatively clear, but the smell of quicklime is extremely pungent.The others looked at the water in the tank, then at Han Yan, waiting for his order.

"Light up the charcoal." Han Yan said, pointing to the stove.Immediately, someone went over to light a fire. After a while, the fire in the stove was already very strong. Han Yan ordered the servants to put one end of the pipe into the stove and the other end into the water tank. The carbon dioxide produced by the burning of charcoal entered the water tank along the pipe. There is a chemical reaction with the lime in the tank, and after bursts of air bubbles, the white sediment sinks into the bottom of the tank.

"This is, this is fairy art..." the master said, looking at Han Yan with admiration.

"It's not some fairy art, it's just a little chemical reaction." Han Yan said with a dark face.He stared at the water tank without looking at it until there was no more white sediment in it, and then ordered everyone to filter the sundries in the water tank again with gauze.At this time, the water in the tank has no lime taste.

Han Yan ordered everyone to continue to burn the fire to evaporate all the water in the water tank, and what they got at this time was syrup.The next step is to further heat the syrup to obtain sucrose crystals, and then through crystallization, honey separation, drying, and sieving to obtain the finished white sugar.

This is a kung fu job. Han Yan looked up at the sky and knew that Bai Tang was not expected to be seen today.Then, after briefing everyone about the follow-up steps, he ordered them to continue heating and evaporating, and then said to Han Tuidang, "Grandpa, Ah Yan will make you tomorrow, and today I will make you a Buddha jumping over the wall."

"Buddha jumped over the wall?" Han Tuidang wiped his beard with interest. "The name is kind of interesting."

"That's right! It means that this dish is so delicious that even the Buddha couldn't bear breaking the precept..." Han Yan said with a smile.

During the Han Dynasty, Taoism was revered, so no one paid much attention to Buddhism.It is only natural that Han Tuidang didn't care about this kind of teasing about the Buddha.Just watching Han Yan's small body shuttle back and forth in the kitchen and nodded with a smile...
