Great Song

This is a flower viewing ceremony, and the glass is nothing more than a glass, how can there be a glass tube?However, Zhen Qiong really took it.Not long after, the servant brought a bunch of glassware and a large basin of clean water.

Su Zhe, who had been watching from the side, raised his eyebrows imperceptibly.This glass is not an ordinary cup. Not to mention the weird shape, it is also painted with ink patterns and marked with scales.Not to mention the glass tube, which is simply confusing.However, Shen Kuo brought it out at will, and Ling Xiaozi can also take it out at will, so it should be a commonly used item.Such treasures can be taken at hand, the rumor that Han Dalang used his whole family to support Zhenjun Lei Ting may be true.It's just that they invited their brothers here today, what is the purpose?

Su Zhe naturally knew the relationship between Han Miao and Han Xianggong, and he thought that the "Ri Xin Bao" was also a foreshadowing left by Han Xianggong in the court.Both he and his father and brother have benefited from Han Xianggong, so they should walk around a little bit.However, after learning that Shen Kuo was "Meng Xisheng" and that Mi Fu, the editor-in-chief of "Ri Xin Bao" and who wrote the inscription, was also present, he understood that it was probably Han Miao who wanted to ask his brother to publish an article on "Ri Xin Bao".

However, in this matter, he had some concerns in his heart.After all, before the new law was promulgated, the "Ri Xin Bao" actually expressed support.Although it is not obvious, it is inevitable to make people mind.If this is really Han Miao's meaning, not Han Xianggong's, it would be a bit inappropriate to write an article for "Ri Xin Bao".

Su Zhe thought to himself, but Su Shi didn't think about it that much at all, and just looked at Shen Kuo intently.I saw Shen Kuo rolled up his sleeves, picked up the glass, filled a glass of water, covered the mouth of the glass with a piece of slightly larger cardboard, and then slowly turned the glass over so that the mouth of the glass was facing down.There was a piece of paper blocking it, so the water in the cup naturally did not overturn. Unexpectedly, the next moment, he removed his hand that was pressing on the paper.

The expected "crash" sound did not appear, and the piece of paper covering the mouth of the cup was suspended in the air, and the water was firmly held in the cup.

"Huh?" Su Shi exclaimed in surprise, "Why didn't you sprinkle it?"

It wasn't just him, there was an uproar in the pavilion, Mi Fu approached curiously, and even Su Zhe, who had been thinking to himself just now, was so shocked by the scene before him that he forgot what he was thinking.Everyone has the same thought, why not sprinkle the water?

Shen Kuo smiled, did not stop his movements, and turned the mouth of the cup up, down, left, and right.The paper was still firmly covering the mouth of the cup, and there was no sign of falling.

Mi Fu couldn't bear it any longer: "Where did brother Cunzhong learn the technique? Is there something mysterious about this piece of paper?"

It was rare to be a little joking, Shen Kuo said to Mi Fu: "My dear brother, you can smoke that piece of paper."

When Mi Fu heard this, he immediately stretched out his hand to take out the paper, but unexpectedly, the piece of paper fell off as soon as he lifted a corner, and the water splashed, half of Mi Fu's sleeves were wet.

Not even catching the paper, Mi Fu was on the spot: "I, did I break the spell?"

Seeing his appearance, Shen Kuo smiled, and stopped trying to keep his secrets, and said directly: "This is not a magic spell, it's just the air in the air that supports the water in the cup. This is the power I told Ling Xiaozi, There should be an invisible force in the atmosphere."

Mi Fu was even more dizzy: "The atmosphere is still powerful? Why can't I feel it?"

Isn't there an atmosphere around him, why has he never felt any strength?

"It's not strength, but an invisible force that exists all the time. As long as there is no air, it can appear." Shen Kuo explained.

Mi Fu: "..."

What the hell, why can't he understand?

On the other hand, Su Song nodded thoughtfully: "The way you cover the cup is to fill the cup completely without leaving any gaps? It turns out that's the reason. No wonder the lid of the teapot must be left empty, otherwise The water is not flowing well."

Sure enough, Su Song understood what he wanted, and Shen Kuo nodded happily: "There is air inside and outside, so that this force can be exempted. If there is a difference, it will immediately show a difference."

Mi Fu had given up listening to what the two had to say, turned around and said, "Can I try it too?"

Shen Kuo had nothing to do, Mi Fu's sleeves were wet anyway, so he rolled them indiscriminately, picked up a piece of paper from the cup, and started to operate.After a while, the sound of splashing water became one, and it was not possible once.

Su Shi stared wide-eyed for a while, then suddenly said, "Try me instead!"

If it was someone else, Mi Fu might not want to let go.But Su Zizhan wanted to try, how could he not be willing?Immediately handed over the glass.

Su Shi was not as reckless as Mi Fu, he carefully filled the cup with water, took the piece of paper and pressed it lightly, then carefully turned the cup upside down, and slowly moved his hand away.In his hand, the clear fruit remained in the cup obediently, and the piece of paper hung in the air without falling.

"Wonderful!" Su Shi laughed, "The power of the atmosphere really exists! Then why can't you feel it?"

"Maybe I can feel it sometimes." Shen Kuo has thought about this problem deeply, "If you climb a mountain or go into the sea, your body will react differently. Even the depression before the thunderstorm doesn't seem to be lack of vitality, it's more like the outflow of breath. changed."

If you talk about the other side, Su Shi may not have such a deep feeling.But he usually likes to visit mountains and rivers the most. He also knows about these things, so he couldn't help nodding: "Brother Cunzhong said that, but I also felt something different. The world is really wonderful..."

In fact, Daqi said that it is quite different from his theory of nourishing qi, but Su Shi was very happy with this discovery.And the truth contained in this must also be connected with the law of heaven, he had to rearrange his knowledge to figure out the meaning of it.

But not at this time.Su Shi put down the cup, and his eyes had already fallen on the glass tube beside him: "What is this thing for?"

Shen Kuo picked up the glass tube and smiled slightly: "It's also about the power of the atmosphere."

As he spoke, he filled the glass tube with water and inverted it into a glass that was also filled with water.Logically, the water in the pipe should have flowed into the cup, but that didn't happen.As long as the glass tube is buried under water, the water in the tube will not move at all.However, when he lifted the glass tube out of the water, the water in the tube immediately poured into the glass.

This method naturally aroused Su Shi's amazement, but Zhen Qiong on the side suddenly said "ah": "This method seems to be able to measure atmospheric pressure!"

Of course, Zhen Qiong would not find these experiments novel, but the demonstration of the test tube vaguely reminded him of something, it seems that there were such experiments in Gewuguan back then.It is also measured with a test tube, which can measure the change of air pressure.

Shen Kuo trembled when he heard the words: "How to measure the method?!"

Before he figured out how to measure the power of the atmosphere, Zhen Qiong thought of it!And it's called "Pressure," which sounds weird, but it's a good name.

Zhen Qiong is stuck.He really forgot, after all, this is something about Gewuguan, and it has nothing to do with them.I just vaguely remember that a very long glass tube is used, and this kind of tube can only be fired by Daoguan.

After holding back for a long time, he finally said: "Since the pressure is the same, if the glass tube is made slender, maybe the pressure in the basin can also be displayed in the tube?"

Shen Kuo pondered for a while when he heard the words, his eyes suddenly lit up, the words seemed reasonable.Does just water really work?The water is stable, so ordinary changes may not be obvious, right?Do you want to try it on the mountain?Fantai is afraid that it will not work...

Shen Kuo's mind was agitated, Su Song also fell into deep thought, but Su Shi didn't care so much, rolled up his sleeves, and went to play with the glass tube again, while Mi Fu watched eagerly.The age difference between the two was double, but their expressions were quite similar. Li Gonglin, who had been sitting by the side, quietly clenched his fists, his eyes were shining brightly.This scene is so picturesque!

How can the ordinary pictures of banquets and cultural gatherings be so interesting?Everyone's expressions, as well as the water basin and glass cups, are full of novelty.If this so-called "power of atmosphere" spreads, today's scene will definitely be famous in history, right?He had to draw this painting by himself!

Not daring to miss a single trace, Li Gonglin stared wide-eyed at the scene in front of him carefully, not even letting go of the perfectly blooming peach blossoms outside the pavilion.

After Li Gefei was astonished, he had some doubts, and he endured for a long time before he said: "Brother Cunzhong, although the power of the atmosphere is interesting, why spend so much effort on it?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Shen Kuo, Su Song, and Zhen Qiong all raised their heads and glared over.This is of course important, and the research is deep, but it can lead to the theory of vacuum.And the theory of vacuum is one of the foundations of the theory of earthquakes, how can it be sloppy?

But this is not easy to tell outsiders.Shen Kuo coughed: "Everything in the world must be carefully researched and obtained from it. Just like Ling Xiaozi, if he hadn't devoted himself to refining Qi, how could he have discovered the theory of carbon gas?"

Ling Xiaozi is a Taoist priest, and you are the official of the Sitianjian.Reading Meng Xisheng's essays is usually nothing, but seeing Shen Kuo pondering and delving into these principles today really made Li Gefei feel strange.

However, before he could speak, Su Shi nodded: "Brother Cunzhong said yes. If you don't even know the world, how can you find the 'Tao' and get the 'Qi'? Naturally, the more you know, the better."

He believed in human feelings, cultivated Qi and healed the mind. Only by increasing knowledge and broadening one's mind can one cultivate one's capacity and develop what Mencius called "awe-inspiring spirit".It is precisely because of this that when Su Shi suddenly heard such shocking truths, he was not surprised, but delighted.I can add another point to the air in my chest.

When others said so, Li Gefei might still hesitate.But after Su Zizhan said that, he was speechless instead.Also, I am an editor-in-chief, how can I be so narrow-minded?

Zhen Qiong was the most impatient to listen to this kind of discussion, and hurriedly interrupted: "Is it almost time for dinner, why don't we eat first?"

I can't even drink enough of this good imperial tea, so why just eat?The others were all overwhelmed, but Su Shi's eyes lit up: "I heard that the carp leaping over the dragon's gate and winning the first place came from the Han family. May I try it today?"

These few dishes were researched by him and brother Miao together. Hearing people mention them, Zhen Qiong was inevitably a little happy, and immediately took care of them all: "It's easy to say, just let the cook do it. I also prepared braised braised dishes today. Meat is the most delicious thing."

"But it's made with pork? I also asked my family to try out this new dish. Use some rice wine, steam it first and then stew it. It tastes better." Su Shi loves pork very much. How could he not have heard of this dish?Not only have I eaten it, but I have also improved it myself.

"Isn't it enough to use rock sugar?" Zhen Qiong was a little dazed.

"It's fried. If it's stewed, it's better to drink wine." Su Shi didn't bother, and explained carefully, "It's even better to eat it with piglet neck meat!"

Hearing these words, Zhen Qiong couldn't help swallowing. How could he have eaten any kind of meat, and it didn't sound bad?

Seeing Xiaodao's greedy look, Su Shi couldn't help but stroked his beard and said: "It's nothing, the most delicious is shad. Grilled with ginger buds and purple vinegar, eating fresh fat under the scales, it is better than sea bass !"

Zhen Qiong immediately turned her head and looked at Han Miao eagerly.Seeing his appearance, Han Miao laughed: "Brother Zizhan's mouth makes it difficult for the foolish brother to treat guests. There is no shad, how about sea bass soup?"

Su Shi laughed loudly: "I thought I could only eat Yellow River carp, but now I have earned a Songjiang perch, which is wonderful!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the field laughed.Regardless of the glassware on the table and the unfinished imperial tea, everyone walked out of the flower viewing pavilion and walked towards the banquet that was set up.

The author has something to say: most of the Dongpo dishes that have been handed down were produced when he was down and down, which is simply the epitome of his broad-minded life.But now Su Zizhan has never been down and out. He is a standard scholar-bureaucrat, he never tires of eating and eating, and he has beautiful dancing and music, and it is best to add wine.But when I think about the creation time of "Lao Tao Fu", I feel a lot of emotion.
