Scholar and old attack

"Where did you get that kind of book?" A deep meaning flashed in Jiang Jingyuan's eyes.

Could it be that someone whispered something in Xu Shuizhou's ear, or deliberately gave him this kind of book.

Xu Shuizhou blushed and whispered, "Yes, it was found in the attic."

Jiang Jingyuan was dumbfounded, the bookstore is in business, of course it prints this kind of books, who doesn't have a book of erotic pictures these days, just waiting for their children to get married so that they can review their post-marriage knowledge.

When he got married, he didn't know whether Chen Xiuxiu deliberately forgot or didn't prepare for it. He didn't read it, but he lived in the village for a long time, and he heard some jokes from married men. Yellow accent.

"Take it out and show it to me." After all, he stayed in the bookstore for a long time, why didn't he know that the bookstore still had such books.

Xu Shuizhou looked like a primary school student who did something wrong. He dug out a small package from under the counter and took out a few books from it.

Jiang Jingyuan picked out a book and flipped through it casually. The man's face spoke like a ghost, and his movements were not very elegant. Even this kind of book is □□～gong! ?

"I know it's indecent to buy this kind of book in the store, so I asked the shopkeeper to put it away." Xu Shuizhou put the book away when Yang Wanshu told him.

However, out of curiosity, he couldn't help flipping through it, and the more he read it, the more excited he was, especially when he thought that A Yuan was still unwilling to consummate the house with him. He felt that the problem must come from himself, and he might be able to learn more by reading more books. A little skill.

As long as you can learn one and a half moves, are you afraid that A Yuan will not consummate the marriage with him?

Jiang Jingyuan rubbed his forehead, one head and two big ones, glanced at Xu Shuizhou who was standing obediently by the side, and sighed, "You, you."

Ah, I couldn't bear to scold him for a long time, and finally patted his head helplessly, "Don't read this kind of book next time."

Xu Shuizhou looked confused, "But I'm married, so I can watch it, and this is learning the way of husband and wife."

"You're still too young, you can watch it when you're older."

"I'm an adult, I'm not young anymore." Xu Shuizhou was a little unconvinced.

"Uh..." Jiang Jingyuan was choked so hard that he couldn't speak. In the past, Ah Zhou was obedient, but he didn't expect to contradict himself on this matter.

If it wasn't for his body, he could forcefully consummate the house now, but he is not a beast, and he can't do the things that beasts do, but there is no way to explain this kind of thing clearly.

"As long as you don't read this book anymore, I'll give you benefits at night, okay?" Jiang Jingyuan had no choice but to coax in a low voice.

Xu Shuizhou's eyes lit up, "What benefits?" Could it be consummation?

Seeing Xu Shuizhou's bright eyes, Jiang Jingyuan knew that the child's thinking was crooked again, coughed lightly, and said vaguely, "You will know in the evening."

Xu Shuizhou was thinking about going back to consummate the house in the evening, and he was a little restless all afternoon, just thinking that time would pass faster and faster.

Jiang Jingyuan took his time, pulled out a new piece of paper, re-conceived a stereotyped essay, listed all the questions that could be asked in the books in the Four Books and Five Classics, and studied the questions in order every day.

It may be difficult at first, but it’s okay once you get used to it. After all, stereotyped essays are fixed ideas, and it’s easier to consider logic and other issues than mathematics. Just like writing essays, it can come up with countless topics, but as long as the central idea No change, I can write hundreds of articles even with my eyes closed.

After writing an stereotyped essay, it was closing time for the bookstore. Xu Shuizhou called the clerk to close the door, took Chen Hongmei and his wife, and rushed home with Jiang Jingyuan.

His impatient look fell into Chen Hongmei's eyes, and he thought it was something happened at home. He hugged Jiang Chunya along the way, and his steps were not slow, and he asked anxiously, "Shui Zhou, is there something wrong at home?" .”

"Ah?" Xu Shuizhou was confused by the question.

Seeing how he was pulling Jiang Jingyuan to run, he patted his head, knowing that he was impolite in a hurry, so he lied and said, "I just miss home."

Chen Hongmei was puzzled, since she hadn't traveled far and was at home every day, how could she be homesick.

When she returned to Jiangyu Village, Chen Hongmei was still puzzled, anxiously wanting to go to Jiang Jingyuan's house to see if something happened.

Jiang Chunya pulled her trousers, and said softly, "I heard the two of them arguing about consummating the house this afternoon, maybe it's because of it."

"What?" Chen Hongmei was dumbfounded, but fortunately she was stopped by her daughter in time, otherwise she would have ruined his good deed today.

"Hey, Chunya, do you know what consummation means?" Chen Hongmei hugged Jiang Chunya and asked softly.

Jiang Chunya shook his head, expressing that he was not clear, Chen Hongmei was a little amused, and the newlyweds don't need to be so anxious.

In the Jiang family's old house, Xu Shuizhou really wanted to drag Jiang Jingyuan into the bedroom as soon as he entered the door, but as soon as Jiang Jingyuan came home, he sat by the desk and couldn't get up, looking calm.

"A Yuan, you said you would give me benefits." Xu Shuizhou asked with concern.

"Don't worry, the day is still bright." Jiang Jingyuan couldn't help laughing, is the brother so open now? If he is not still restrained, he feels that Xu Shuizhou wants to be a bully.

Xu Shuizhou looked at the sky outside the window, and sure enough, the sun had just set in the west, and the sky hadn't completely darkened yet, Xuan Yin seemed to be in a bad mood during the day, so he ran to the kitchen resentfully to make some food.

The two had just finished eating when it was getting dark. Xu Shuizhou looked at Jiang Jingyuan expectantly, and Jiang Jingyuan rubbed his stomach. Just after eating, let's do some activities in the yard.

Xu Shuizhou looked down at his stomach, he shouldn't have been cooking just now, he should have waited until dark.

Jiang Jingyuan took a walk in the yard and disappeared, looking at the black lines on Xu Shuizhou's face was a little funny, as for being so anxious, it's not a consummation...

Finally, when night fell, the two of them lay on the bed after washing. Xu Shuizhou said a little nervously, "A Yuan, you are talking about welfare."

"Pfft——" Jiang Jingyuan couldn't help laughing in a low voice, and after laughing, he moved his head to Xu Shuizhou's side, and kissed him lightly on his lips.

"Okay, this is the welfare I said, sleep well." After kissing, Jiang Jingyuan covered Xu Shuizhou with a quilt, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Xu Shuizhou touched his lips, but before he could react, he looked angrily at the sleeping Jiang Jingyuan, he was being tricked again!

"Not a man yet." Xu Shuizhou murmured in a low voice. After all, he was the most handsome boy in Jiangyu Village. How many men were eager to take him home, why A Yuan was not the same as the others.

Could it be that A Yuan's body is not good?

Xu Shuizhou thought about glancing under Jiang Jingyuan's body for a few times, but he couldn't see anything in the dark night.

I had no choice but to fall asleep with my head covered.

The next day, Xu Shuizhou acted like a normal person again, forgot all about yesterday's events, took a large basin of clothes, and ran out to the river to wash.

There was Yang Wanshu at the bookstore, and he saw that nothing would go wrong. He only needed to check the accounts every few days. Incidents like yesterday's rarely happened.

Besides, tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, and he has to prepare for the Dragon Boat Festival. It is a custom in Wutong County that if there is a strong man in the family, he must participate in dragon boat rowing, but Jiang Jingyuan is a scholar, so he will definitely not go to such a thing.

Then he only needs to make zongzi. After washing his clothes, he will pick some zongzi leaves and come back. He will also go to a few fish cages and get some fresh water fish. Tomorrow, he will call his mother and the others over, and everyone will be lively together. Have a Dragon Boat Festival.

While washing clothes, Xu Shuizhou was thinking about what to do next, but he didn't realize that there were already many people squatting beside him to wash clothes with him.

After Xu Shuizhou thought about it, he looked up and found that there were many people around him, and he was a little frightened.

"Shuizhou, do the laundry. Your Jingyuan's clothes are easy to wash, they don't go to the ground, and there's not even half of the soil." A brother was carrying a plate of dirty clothes, washing them, and chatting with Xu Shuizhou.

Xu Shuizhou couldn't figure out the other party's way, so he nodded vaguely, "Well, my Jingyuan's clothes are easy to wash, but he loves to clean them. He changes his clothes every day. How can you love others." If you don’t wash it, you will be exhausted when you wash it.)”

After so many years in Jiangyu Village, Xu Shuizhou has already mastered the ability to tell people to talk to others, and to talk nonsense, and his family is in decline. If these people know that their lives are comfortable, some kind of moth will be born , so try to make yourself miserable, so as to lower their defenses.

Sure enough, when this brother heard that Xu Shuizhou had to wash clothes every day, he felt a lot more comfortable, and when he took the mallet to the clothes, he became more agile.

Seeing that Xu Shuizhou, who was worse off than himself, got married in such a beautiful way, made him feel very uncomfortable, especially after Chen Xiuxiu didn't live with Xu Shuizhou and his wife, and let the two of them live their own little days. It's uncomfortable.

Xu Shuizhou's life has always been worse than theirs, but now seeing him living a heavenly life, he must be unconvinced.

This person just can't see others living better than himself.

Xu Shuizhou bowed his head amusedly, I can tell you blatantly what kind of life I live.

"Although my man doesn't know a single word, he knows how to love others. He won't let me do any heavy work in the field."

This is a bit ironic. Who doesn't know that Xu Shuizhou has been in the field all these years. He is a good brother who has been exposed to the wind and sun all day, but his face has not been tanned yet.

Xu Shuizhou smiled, "That's right, this scholar's eyes are only on reading, and he doesn't know how to hurt others at all. Brother Huan, you should marry someone who hurts you (your face is yellow)."

Brother Huan felt relieved when he heard Xu Shuizhou's compliment.

Jiang Jingyuan, who woke up early in the morning and didn't see Xu Shuizhou, was walking towards the stream here, when he heard Xu Shuizhou say that scholars don't love others.

Jiang Jingyuan raised his hand and looked at his hands that did not touch the spring water. Well, it is true that he has not fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband in housework, so Ah Zhou is complaining?

Jiang Jingyuan walked up to Xu Shuizhou without saying a word, squatted down and snatched the clothes he was washing, and said softly, "You are tired, let me do the washing."

Xu Shuizhou suddenly heard a familiar voice and was startled. Seeing Jiang Jingyuan's face, he was a little dazed, "Why are you here?"

The buddies around also looked at Jiang Jingyuan as if they were looking at a rare animal.

"Didn't you say that I don't care for others? From now on, half of the housework at home will be handed over to me, and I will do it for you." Jiang Jingyuan grabbed the clothes and slowly cleaned them. Speaking of which, this was the first time he did laundry in two lifetimes. .

Xu Shuizhou, "..." You are my real husband, and you came to tear me down so soon.

------

Seeing the brother who was a little complacent just now, his face turned green with anger. Just now he said how his husband loved him, but it turned out to be nothing compared to Jiang Jingyuan.

Which family's man is willing to bend over to wash clothes, and said that he will share half of the housework in the future.

Isn't this man always like an old man, he just lies on the bed when he comes back from the outside, waiting for Fu Lang to cook the food, boil the bath water, and wait for him to sleep.

Looking down at the mud-covered clothes in his hands, he was out of breath and held the mallet vigorously.

It was Jiang Jingyuan's first time to wash clothes, but he didn't wash them very well. Fortunately, his clothes were very clean, and after a little hammering, they could be picked up after passing through the water.

Xu Shuizhou looked at Jiang Jingyuan's white hands that were wrinkled from soaking in the water, and felt distressed, "Let me do it, washing clothes is not something men do."

Jiang Jingyuan frowned, and retorted, "Why is it not a man who did it? This husband should marry and take care of him. The housework is shared between two people. It is only natural for a man to earn money for his husband."

As soon as Jiang Jingyuan's words fell, the brothers squatting next to him doing laundry hammered the mallet even louder, causing a large splash of water on the side of the small river.

"That won't work, you still have to study." Xu Shuizhou said that 1 people disagreed, and if Jiang Jingyuan was asked to do housework, he must not delay his study.

Jiang Jingyuan shook his head, and said calmly, "Working without delaying study, I can't watch you tired alone."

"call--"

Hey, I'm so angry, all the eavesdroppers are very angry, people are more angry than others, and their husband is just a farmer, but he is not at all as considerate as Jiang Jingyuan.

Hearing what he said, how heart-warming it was, how many generations better than the one in my family who only knows how to yell.

There are only a few pieces of clothes in total, and they will be ready soon, but Jiang Jingyuan's hands are also a little worn out, who knows that his hands are too tender.

When they left, those brothers were still beating the clothes that were so dirty that they couldn't be seen. It didn't take a long time to look like that, and they probably couldn't wash them clean.

In contrast, Jiang Jingyuan's clothes couldn't be washed more easily, just pass through the water.

Jiang Jingyuan seemed to have thought of something, and asked, "Don't you all use saponins to wash your clothes?"

"Gapia?" Xu Shuizhou frowned, "It's not that I don't need it, but the clothes of the farmers are too difficult to wash, and they are all mud. It is too wasteful to use saponins. After all, a catty of saponins costs ten cents."

It is absolutely reluctant to put ten cents in the farmhouse, and it is absolutely impossible to take out those good clothes if it is not for washing.

"Of course, A Yuan's clothes don't need saponins, not even sweat."

"Well, I can make something better than saponins. I don't know if the price will be cheaper than saponins."

Jiang Jingyuan knew how to make soap. After all, it was written in junior high school chemistry textbooks, but in this ancient time, there were too many places he was unfamiliar with. They used to do experiments in the laboratory, but now there is nothing here, so I don’t know if it’s possible able to make it.

"Can there be something better than saponins?" Xu Shuizhou became interested, and then said in a dumb voice, "Could it be that what A Yuan is talking about is pancreas, that thing is indeed better than saponins, but it's a bit more expensive. It costs a penny, and it's gone after a few uses."

It wasn't that rich and noble families used soap, especially Jiang Jingyuan's clothes needed to be washed every day, and after about five or six times of use, they were gone.

Jiang Jingyuan thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's almost like a pancreas."

"A Yuan can make soap?" Xu Shuizhou was even more curious.

Jiang Jingyuan shook his head, "It may not be possible, I just remember reading it in a book before, and it may not be possible to make it."

Xu Shuizhou said in surprise, "Whether you can do it or not, you have to try it. If you do it, we will sell it."

Jiang Jingyuan nodded and did not refuse, thinking silently in his heart, the principle of soap is that oil and sodium hydroxide are boiled together, hydrolyzed into higher fatty acid sodium and glycerin, and the higher fatty acid sodium is processed into soap.

But the experiment process is disgusting.

But the words came out of his mouth, seeing Xu Shuizhou eager to try, even if it was disgusting, he had to do it.

"Well, let's go to the Dragon Boat Festival tomorrow. After the Dragon Boat Festival, let's make soap." Xu Shuizhou quickly arranged the itinerary.

Jiang Jingyuan had no reason to refute, nodded and said, "It's all up to you."

After returning home to dry the clothes, Xu Shuizhou and Jiang Jingyuan went out together to find zongzi leaves, came back to wash them, and after drying them, they were waiting to make zongzi tomorrow.

Jiang Jingyuan was drying zong leaves one by one according to Xu Shuizhou's instructions, when there was a shout at the door, which sounded like calling for a water boat.

Jiang Jingyuan walked out the door, and saw a brother appearing by the door, and he was a little embarrassed to see that it was him.

"What's the matter with you?" Jiang Jingyuan asked.

This brother blushed, and whispered, "I'm here to find Shuizhou."

Jiang Jingyuan called into the room, "Ah Zhou, someone is looking for you."

"Come on." Xu Shuizhou was soaking glutinous rice. Hearing the voice, he wiped his hands neatly. He ran out quickly and saw his brother was stunned. He asked, "Xiao Shu, why are you here?"

Then he turned his head to dismiss Jiang Jingyuan, "This is the grandson of the clan elder, Jiang Shu, who used to be my playmate."

"Hello." Jiang Jingyuan just nodded at him, so he could be regarded as his younger brother.

"Hello, Brother Jing Yuan." Jiang Shu looked very delicate and a little shy.

"Xiao Shu, what do you want from me?" Xu Shuizhou asked.

Jiang Shu's face was a little red, he lowered his head, and whispered, "My father, my father asked me to borrow a boat for the dragon boat race tomorrow."

Jiang Shu's cheeks burned badly after he finished speaking, Jiang Jingyuan's boat was paid to Jiang Jingyuan by his family, and now there is something in the village, and he wants to borrow this boat, especially in front of Jiang Jingyuan, he feels a little ashamed.

Xu Shuizhou suddenly realized that the boat that the clan elder gave to Jiang Jingyuan was the best boat in Jiangyu Village. In tomorrow's dragon boat race, he had to compete with several surrounding villages, and he couldn't compete with a broken boat.

Xu Shuizhou had no choice but to make the decision, and looked at Jiang Jingyuan, "A Yuan, what do you think?"

"Borrow it." Jiang Jingyuan didn't hesitate, one thing is another thing. The Jiang clan did not treat Jiang Jingyuan's mother and son very well, but this old family took care of them a lot, and they just borrowed the boat.

Xu Shuizhou handed Jiang Shu the key pinned to his waist, "Xiao Shu."

"Thank you, thank you Brother Jingyuan." When Jiang Shu came, he was ready to be made things difficult, but he didn't expect Jiang Jingyuan to be quite easy to talk to. After all, he had seen the scene where Jiang Jingyuan yelled at his tribe before, and every time he thought of it, he couldn't bear it. I can't stop feeling cold.

"Thank you, we are all a family, let's go home." Xu Shuizhou smiled.

On the day of Dragon Boat Festival, Xu Shuizhou got up early to make and steam rice dumplings. Jiang Jingyuan went to the wooden house and called Chen Xiuxiu and He Yuzhu over. The family of four had a lively Dragon Boat lunch.

In the afternoon, the four of them went to the riverside to watch the dragon boat races in several villages. There were already circles of people around the riverside, and it took Jiang Jingyuan a long time to squeeze into a position with a good view.

Sure enough, having a good boat is different. Jiang Jingyuan's boat bears the brunt of the brunt. It won the first place in the first round, and the people in the river fishing village on the bank cheered.

The next few reincarnations were not so lucky. They only won a few second places and a few fourth places, and just listened to the applause of other villages.

After Jiang Jingyuan and Xu Shuizhou watched a few rounds, they felt bored and went home. They also had nothing to do when they went home. Xu Shuizhou suggested that they should try making soap.

"To prepare, a pot, lard, water, quicklime..." Jiang Jingyuan thought about what he needed to prepare, and then looked at Xu Shuizhou, "Are you sure you have all these things."

Xu Shuizhou got up from the stool, went out to work for a while, and found everything Jiang Jingyuan wanted.

Jiang Jingyuan, "..."

Jiang Jingyuan threw the lard into the nest, and it gradually melted. Xu Shuizhou felt a little distressed when he saw it. A whole jar of oil could be eaten for half a year. Say no more.

Sodium hydroxide is indispensable to make soap. Jiang Jingyuan found a iron channel filled with water, poured quicklime powder into it to make lime slurry, and added soda to the lime slurry.

After a short time, the sodium hydroxide solution in the iron drum reacts, and the precipitate and sodium hydroxide will be decomposed, which is the froth in the iron drum.

Skim the sodium hydroxide and pour it into the melted oil pan and stir evenly, there will be a saponification reaction, but the smell is not very pleasant, and stirring is also very laborious. In the end, Xu Shuizhou took the stick and helped Jiang Jingyuan stir.

After stirring evenly and waiting for a while, there was a reaction in the pot, and the oily yellow soap began to form. Jiang Jingyuan took it out and hydrolyzed it to produce yellow soap blocks and glycerin.

"Okay." Jiang Jingyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and took out a piece of yellow substance to Xu Shuizhou, "This is the soap I was talking about."

Xu Shuizhou was a little disgusted. After all, it was made of lard without any processing, and it still smelled of lard, "This can really be used as pancreas."

"You'll know if you try it." Jiang Jingyuan was only doing this experiment in the laboratory, and his experience was still a little lacking. The soap he made smelled like lard, maybe he could try adding some spices next time.

Xu Shuizhou went to fetch the clothes for experimentation, and Jiang Jingyuan carefully packed the hydrolyzed glycerin in a jar, which is a good thing.

Jiang Jingyuan frowned when he saw that there was still less than half a pan of oil left in the oil pan. After thinking about it, he found a piece of saline and alkali and threw it into the pan. After a while, a white waxy shape formed in the pan.

Jiang Jingyuan nodded in satisfaction.

Xu Shuizhou happily ran in from the outside with his clothes in his arms, "Ah Yuan, this is really useful, and it's clean after washing, but the clothes smell like lard."

Jiang Jingyuan washed his hands, shook his head, "I was negligent, next time we add some spices, there will be no lard smell."

"Okay." Xu Shuizhou put down his clothes and went to clean the pot. Seeing pieces of wax in the pot, he asked, "Ah Yuan, what is this?"

"This is wax." Jiang Jingyuan replied, took out a cotton thread, put it in the middle of the wax, and took out a torch to light it.

"Is this how candles are made?" Xu Shuizhou asked curiously.

Jiang Jingyuan shook his head, "No, the waxes we use to get married are all paraffin wax and worm wax, they are not made in this way."

"But I think it's about the same. The light is better than the candles I bought. From now on, A Yuan won't bother his eyes when he reads at night." Xu Shuizhou looked at Jiang Jingyuan adoringly, but a jar of lard can make so many Good stuff, nothing wasted.

The author has something to say: maybe the chemistry one is not well written, if a professional reads it, don't criticize me, after all, I didn't learn chemistry well when I was studying.

Saponification reaction: The reaction that occurs when the fatty acid in the oil is mixed with an alkaline solution.

Oil + caustic (sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide) + water = soap + glycerin (saponification reaction)

After the reaction of lard + caustic soda, soap is obtained, and hydrochloric acid is added to form wax.
