After crossing, I spoil my husband

Looking at the other party's bright eyes, Chen Xia coughed lowly: "Come on, Uncle Chen, touch your arm."

Those who practice martial arts will touch their bones, the purpose is to see if that person has the talent to learn martial arts.

Xia Xiaobao stretched out his hand obediently. Although he didn't know what the other party meant, it was still understandable for him to reach out.

Chen Xia touched his bones and smiled, and said: "Although he is not a rare martial arts genius, he can still practice kung fu, but who does the little guy want to worship as his teacher?"

Xia Xiaobao tilted his head, walked straight in front of Murray, and said in a childlike voice, "I want a good-looking brother to be my master. My brother came here that day, a good man."

Xia Xiaobao remembered that Fu Mingyou followed him the day he was hired, and he was a nice person and good-looking.

When I heard this, all the people present fell silent.

"You want to worship me as a teacher?"

Murray looked at Xiaotuanzi in front of him, pondered for a while, and asked in a low voice.

Fu Mingyou on the side didn't speak, which was even better.

"Yes."

Xia Xiaobao nodded childishly, then grabbed the corner of the other party's clothes, "Good looking brother, good man."

Although the people in the village are more afraid of Murray and others on weekdays, few people would be willing to walk in with them.

To be honest, this is the first time Murray has heard someone say that he is a good person and a small group.

"You can be my disciple if you want to. It depends on whether you can persevere. If you can meet my standard within a month, I will agree to accept you as an apprentice. If you can't reach it, I will recognize Uncle Chen as a master."

Murray looked at Xia Xiaobao in front of him and said directly.

Xia Xiaobao nodded directly: "Okay."

Next, Murray and Xia Xiaobao made an agreement for three chapters. As long as Xiaobao could persist in training for a month, Murray would accept each other as his disciple.

Fu Mingyou and Xia Yanxi looked at each other behind.I couldn't help but smiled, well, I don't need them to talk yet.

Fu Mingyou took out the things he had brought, and said, "No matter who you are, you can be Xiaobao's master. As the saying goes, a teacher for a day is a father for life. This is what I gave for Xia's family. Appreciation ceremony."

He prepared a lot of things, including ice powder, a root of ginseng, and some regular meat, pastries and so on.

Xia Xiaobao's apprentice ceremony is different from Shu Xiu's, Fu Mingyou meant to give it all at once.

"What is this?"

Murray looked at the contents of the two small bottles and asked puzzledly.

He just smelled it, one was tasteless, and the other had a slightly bitter taste.

Fu Mingyou smiled, and said: "The red bottle on the left is my family's holy medicine for healing, which has a miraculous effect on wounds. The one on the right is ice powder, which can be used to make ice cubes."

The so-called holy medicine for healing is that he added a little antibiotic with anti-inflammatory medicine.

Murray looked at the things in front of him thoughtfully, and said with a smile, "Is this ice-making powder the one that Uncle Xia's family sold in the town recently?"

These days, they also heard that Xia Liren's family was selling ice in the town, and I have to say, it was quite surprising.

It's just that Murray also knew in his heart that the Xia family's ability to sell ice cubes was due to the fact that Fu Mingyou's opponent really didn't want to be as simple as it seemed on the surface. At the same time, he also believed more and more that the opponent was the person that Master Tianyi said.

Thinking of the few things Master Tianyi emphasized, Murray stopped asking. Since the other party was able to get these weird things, it also showed the other party's ability.

Fu Mingyou nodded: "Yes, the ice that Uncle and the others sell in the market recently is made of this thing, Brother Chen, please bring a basin of clean water."

Chen Xia was also curious about how to make ice cubes for this thing, so she immediately fetched a basin of clean water.

Fu Mingyou demonstrated it to everyone, and everyone was a little surprised when they saw the ice cubes in the basin.

"It's really ice, so cool."

"Amazing, really amazing."

"With this thing, this summer will be much easier."

This place is not like the capital city, big families store ice in winter for summer use, but this condition is not available in the countryside. In the past few years in Xiajia Village, everyone has had the most difficult summer.

Murray was also a little surprised, looked at Fu Mingyou and smiled: "Is this called ice-making powder?"

Fu Mingyou nodded: "Yes, that's the name."

Murray looked at the small bottle in his hand: "It's very appropriate."

Isn't it just the powder for making ice cubes?

"Brother Fu, how many of these things do you have?"

Murray quickly realized the importance of this thing. Although the Mu family is also a big family, they also save ice in summer.

Fu Mingyou smiled and said, "I don't have much of this stuff, it's precious because it's edible, but I know a thing called saltpeter, which can also be used to make ice cubes, although it's not as good as ice powder, but it can be measured Produce."

As far as he knew, no one in this world had discovered how to use saltpeter, and it was found in many mountains.

"Nitre, you said that saltpeter can also make ice?"

Murray was a little surprised. It's important whether you can eat it or not. The important thing is that you can have ice cubes.

Fu Mingyou nodded, and then explained how to use saltpeter.

There was some saltpeter at the foot of the mountain next to it. After Fu Mingyou and the others left, Murray asked Chen Xia and the others to move some saltpeter.

"Brother Fu, is it too precious to use ginseng as an apprenticeship fee for Xiaobao?"

After Xia Yanxi knew what Fu Mingyou gave Xia Xiaobao as a teacher, her little brows kept frowning.

These items of the other party are too precious, but they are ginseng, I heard that they are very expensive.

"Don't think too much about it. The ginseng was also picked in the mountains without spending any money, so the heirlooms are not strictly precious."

Fu Mingyou looked at the other person's appearance, couldn't help but smiled, and rubbed the other person's slightly frowning brows away with his fingertips, "These things are nothing to me, Xiaobao has learned something, it is more important than anything else."

He picks ginseng and other things in the mountains, and the cost of the rest is also very low.

"Xiaobao, you have to work hard."

Xia Yanxi looked at the little guy in his arms, said seriously with a serious face.

Xia Xiaobao also nodded seriously, and said in a childish voice, "Xiaobao will work hard."

Although Fu Mingyou said so, Xia Yanxi felt that those things were very precious.

"Brother Fu, can that saltpeter also be used to make ice cubes?"

Xia Yanxi actually didn't know that saltpeter could be used to make ice cubes, so she asked curiously.

Fu Mingyou nodded with a smile, then looked at the time, and said, "Xixi, I'll explain to you when I come back at noon. I'll go to Master Lin first."

Now it's almost time to make an appointment to study, Master Lin also has his students there, but because of Fu Mingyou's age and progress, Master Lin asked him to go to study at around nine o'clock, which is Sishi.

Xia Yanxi nodded, took Xia Xiaobao's hand, and said, "Okay, Brother Fu, see you at noon."

Fu Mingyou nodded, returned to his home, then took the book and went to Master Lin's house.

After Fu Mingyou took the things, he went directly to Master Lin's house. At this time, the rest of the students were practicing calligraphy. When Master Lin saw Fu Mingyou coming, he directly called him into the room. "Master, I have read books before, but I am too old and have forgotten a lot. Can you read this three-character scripture to me?"

Fu Mingyou didn't intend to start from the basics, he is an intellectual anyway, even if it is classical Chinese now, he still has some basics.

Master Lin was a little surprised, nodded, and then read the Three Character Classic directly, and asked Fu Mingyou to read it again after it was over.

After listening to it once, Fu Mingyou memorized it, and directly recited the Three Character Classic.

Only then did Mr. Lin realize that the other party seemed to be a little different, and then he took out the names of hundreds of families, and did it again according to the previous one.

"Do you have a photographic memory?"

Only then did Master Lin realize the clue, and he looked directly at Fu Mingyou and asked.

He just read it once, but he didn't expect the other party to memorize it all, and he also understood the meaning.

Fu Mingyou nodded with a smile: "Yes, I can memorize the basics of the hundred surnames and the Three Character Classics, but I have never learned the Four Books and Five Classics."

What he means is that as long as you have learned it, you will remember it.

Lin Fuzi quickly replaced the previous plan in his heart, and said: "It seems that I don't need to worry about this aspect, just write a few words for me to see."

Since there is no problem with the other party's endorsement, it is necessary to check the writing situation.

Fu Mingyou nodded, then directly picked up the pen and paper beside him, and wrote the Three Character Classic.

"Xiao Fu, you still need to practice more on this word."

Master Lin looked at Fu Mingyou's handwriting, and suddenly choked speechless, then took a copybook from his bookshelf, "This is the most popular style of Guange nowadays, the font is correct and elegant, very suitable for the imperial examination, you Practice writing for a while, and come back after seven days."

There is no need to worry about the recitation and interpretation for the time being, but the font is still a lot worse. It's not that the other party's writing is not good-looking, but that the writing is a bit different.

Of course, Fu Mingyou also knew that his handwriting was not very good-looking, but he just wrote with a hard pen, and he rarely knew calligraphy.He has learned brush calligraphy, which is not bad, but it seems that he is not popular at the moment.

Fu Mingyou nodded and said, "Okay, sir, then I will come back in seven days."

Mr. Lin stroked his beard and responded, "During the seven days, you should copy the Three Character Classic, Hundred Surnames, Thousand Character Classic, and The Book of Poetry. You can choose one of the four books and copy it once. Don’t be the same.”

He asked the other party to copy the four books, hoping that the other party could recite the four books during the copying process.

Fu Mingyou paused and nodded: "Okay, the students will remember."

It's just that choosing one of these four books will not be too long, and it needs to be refined.But since the master said so, of course he couldn't refuse.

Fortunately, there are seven days, so it should be about the same.

After Fu Mingyou returned, he went directly to Xia's house.

After seeing Fu Mingyou coming, Xia Yanxi was a little surprised, and asked with a smile: "Have you finished class?"

He saw a lot of people go to class, all morning.

Fu Mingyou nodded: "I learned it before, so the master mainly asked me to practice calligraphy, and I will go to him after seven days with the practiced calligraphy."

During these seven days, he had to finish the copy that Master Lin had given him. Otherwise, Fu Mingyou had a hunch that if he couldn't finish it, the other party might ask him to write more.

Not to mention, Fu Mingyou still doesn't have much resistance to copying. Although he knows those traditional characters, it may not be correct if he is asked to write silently. After all, traditional characters still have more strokes.

"By the way, Brother Fu, this is the saltpeter I picked up."

Xia Yanxi remembered the saltpeter she had picked up before, and immediately pulled Fu Mingyou aside.

Fu Mingyou smiled and said, "Let me see."

Unexpectedly, the other party actually went to pick it up with saltpeter. Since the other party has worked so hard to get it back, then he will demonstrate the method of making ice with saltpeter.

Next, Fu Mingyou smashed the saltpeter into powder. Although saltpeter can make ice, the effect of the other party is not as good as ice powder.

"Wow, Brother Fu, you are so amazing."

Xia Xiaobao squatted aside, watching the water in the basin turn into ice cubes, he couldn't help but marvel.

Unexpectedly, even a humble stone can be used to make ice cubes.

"So Xiaobao should read more books."

Fu Mingyou stretched out his hand to touch the other party's hair, and said with a smile.

Xia Yanxi also tried to make it by herself, looked at the ice cubes in the basin, and said: "The ice cubes made of saltpeter don't seem to be as white as ice powder."

It looks a little gray, and it looks good without ice powder.

"Yes, so this ice cube is not edible, but it can be used to preserve things and keep cool."

Fu Mingyou nodded. Although it can't be eaten, it still has many other effects. It is estimated that Murray can think of this better.

Knowing that Fu Mingyou was going to start studying next, Xia Yanxi asked the other party to go back and copy the books. In his opinion, copying the books was very difficult, with so many words.

Fu Mingyou didn't refuse either, but just looked at Xia Xiaobao who was at the side, and said, "Xiaobao, don't forget to go to your Teacher Mu's at Chenshi tomorrow morning."

"Little Treasure will remember."

Xia Xiaobao nodded obediently. Since he said he would go there, of course he would not forget it.

After Fu Mingyou went back, he took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and practiced calligraphy in the study.

He doesn't remember some of these traditional characters very well, but basically after writing it once, he probably knows it in his heart.

For him, the Three Character Classics are relatively simple, while the Four Books are a little more complicated.

After thinking about it, Fu Mingyou chose to transcribe the Analects of Confucius as a review to consolidate his memory.

While Fu Mingyou was copying, Murray's house was also experimenting with ice making.

"Boss, this is really powerful."

Mu Han looked at the frozen basin, and then said: "Although saltpeter can make ice, the effect is not as good as making ice powder."

Murray obviously noticed it too, thought for a while, and said, "It's summer now, ice is a necessity no matter where it is, Chen Xia, Li Fang, you two go to collect saltpeter nearby, and you can mobilize the village chief to collect as much as you can. Let the villagers pick it."

From here to the capital, take the official road, it only takes less than ten days.
