With his feet crunching on the snow, Li Yue stepped forward with some difficulty and said, "This is a good story that should be spread, except for the rheumatism you mentioned."
Zhang Yang nodded slightly and said: "It is indeed a good story. Standing motionless in the snow overnight can easily lead to rheumatism. Just like if you are too obsessed with studying and read all day long, you can easily become myopic."
Li Yue stopped for a moment and asked, "What is myopia?"
After the heavy snowfall, the suburbs of Chang'an City were particularly lively, with many children playing and fighting in the snow.
There is a very sharp difference between the lively couple nearby and the quiet couple.
Children are having fun in the snow.
On the white snow, a couple walking in the distance gives people a very peaceful feeling.
The two held hands, and Zhang Yang said to Li Yue: "Myopia is an eye disease. If you read for a long time, your eyesight will decrease, and it is easy to see distant scenery clearly."
Li Yue asked doubtfully: "Is it serious?"
In this age without glasses, Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "If it's serious, a hermaphrodite will not recognize you from three meters away, you won't recognize your relatives from five meters away, and you won't be able to tell the difference between humans and animals from ten meters away."
"There is no distinction between humans and animals..."
Li Yue stopped for a moment and her face became a little solemn.
Zhang Yang said: "Can you see how many people are standing on the top of the city in the distance?"
Li Yue looked back and said, "There are seven people standing."
"It seems that your condition is not very serious. I can only let you read books for an hour from now on, and you can't read more."
Listening to Zhang Yang's words, Li Yue grinned, with two dimples on his face.
As they walked along, Li Yue said: "I have heard that those old gentlemen in the court who are very knowledgeable can't see clearly. This is what you call myopia."
Zhang Yang thought about it and said, "It might be myopia, huh."
"long sighted?"
"Farsightedness is also called presbyopia, which is similar to myopia."
"And you said you don't know medical skills?"
Li Yue looked at Zhang Yang with her pretty eyes and said with her chin raised, she could always find a strange ability in her husband.
So much so that I have always been open-minded in life.
A gust of cold wind blew by, Zhang Yang cleared his throat and said: "I often dream, and there is a Taoist priest in my dream, and the Taoist priest always tells me some inexplicable things."
Li Yue asked suspiciously: "That guy also taught you math?"
Zhang Yang nodded, "That's right."
Li Yue snorted coldly, "Do you think I will believe it?"
"believe it or not."
When it comes to this kind of issue as a couple, one cares whether you believe it or not, and the other cares whether you want to explain or not.
As I was walking, I saw an old man pulling a donkey in the distance.
The stubborn donkey turned its head and refused to let the old man lead him away.
Look at the old man pulling the donkey, his face is red because of the exertion.
Zhang Yang sighed: "It turns out that there are really stubborn donkeys in this world."
Li Yue nodded seriously.
The old man looks familiar again. Isn't this the guy who called himself Sun Simiao before?
Li Yue said: "Do you want to help him?"
I didn't want to meddle in other people's business, since my wife said so.
Zhang Yang stepped forward, looked at the old man and said, "Old guy, do you still remember me?"
Sun Simiao looked at Zhang Yang and blinked, then looked at the girl standing behind Zhang Yang stroking her beard and said, "I don't remember you, old man. My memory is not very good recently, but I remember this girl behind you."
After looking at it for a while, Sun Simiao added: "The girl's complexion is much better now than last time."
Zhang Yang looked at the stubborn donkey and said, "Do you have any cake?"
Sun Simiao frowned in confusion.
Zhang Yang asked again: "Is there any dry food?"
Sun Simiao took out a piece of naan bread from the dirty bag and asked, "What do you want this for?"
Tear off some naan bread and feed it to the donkey.
The donkey is willing to eat it.
Sun Simiao added: "Before, you told Lao Tao about the thing called bacteria. After thinking about it for a long time, Lao Tao figured it out. The Taoist Scriptures say that all things are born from three things. Even in a drop of water, there can be all things, and they are also disease-causing.
reason."
Zhang Yang listened to his words and picked up a stick, then used dry grass to make a rope and tied it around the donkey's neck.
"If you can clearly understand the truth, my little brother must also be quite knowledgeable about medical skills. If you have time, why don't you and I sit down and discuss it?"
"No time."
Zhang Yang decisively refused.
Sun Simiao said reluctantly: "If I can save one more person with my little brother's knowledge, that will be a merit. I have been studying medical skills all my life. If I can get more ways to cure diseases, it will be a great good deed."
Seeing that the other party still didn't respond, Sun Simiao let out a long sigh.
Zhang Yang put the branch around the donkey's neck and hung the cake on the rope, so that the cake was always hanging in front of the donkey's eyes.
The stubborn donkey asked with his nose. He wanted to eat but couldn't, so he impatiently took two steps forward.
Seeing that the donkey was willing to leave, Sun Simiao was surprised and said: "Little brother, your method is really wonderful."
Zhang Yang said: "It takes a little effort."
While talking, Sun Simiao took out a few dates from the dirty bag and handed them to Zhang Yang and said: "These dried dates can replenish qi and blood. You might as well give it to this girl. I will go to Chang'an City today. If
After you figure it out, go to the posthouse in Chang'an City to find Pindao."
The donkey was finally willing to move around. Sun Simiao was also happy and led the donkey towards Chang'an City.
Li Yue looked amused, "It looks so funny."
Zhang Yang nodded, "Donkey's psychological shadow is quite large."
Li Yue stood beside him and said: "If this donkey had any human nature, I'd be very angry to death."
"It wants revenge and revenge on its owner. What does it have to do with me?"
Zhang Yang put these dates into his pocket. This old guy didn't seem to be very hygienic.
The two of them walked outside the city for a while and got tired.
Pick up an object on the ground. It is a kind of cork.
It's very light and can be used to make badminton balls.
When I walked to the city gate, I saw a shop selling mutton soup in front of the city.
I happened to be a little hungry.
Zhang Yang took Li Yue's hand and walked into the store.
As soon as the couple entered the store, they immediately attracted the attention of the customers in the store.
Especially the couple outfits worn by two people.
After sitting down, Zhang Yang said: "Two bowls of mutton in the basin, and two pancakes."
"Okay." The store owner shouted in response.
Sitting in the shop, Li Yue looked at the people going in and out of the city gate of Chang'an City. Chang'an City was still so lively despite the cold weather.
The shopkeeper brought two bowls of mutton in a basin and two pancakes and placed them on the table.
Li Yue took a sip of the soup first and whispered: "It's not as delicious as the one you made."
Zhang Yang also took a sip, and it was indeed a bit bland. The store added too little salt.
Salt is precious these days.
While eating, Li Yue said: "Maybe the old Taoist priest I saw today is really Sun Simiao. A few days ago, I heard Aunt Wang say that there is a village outside Chang'an City. Many people there have dysentery, and they are all killed by Sun Simiao."
Cured."
Zhang Yang was eating naan cakes.
"This Sun Simiao is an expert. I heard that he traveled around the world curing illnesses and saving countless lives. No matter how many times the court tried to invite him, he could not be invited."
Sun Simiao is indeed an extraordinary figure in the history of the medical field.
His life experience was also quite rough.
Treating diseases and saving people, and constantly visiting, I have accumulated a lot of experience in treating diseases.
After finishing the cakes and mutton soup, Zhang Yang took Li Yue back home.
In the court, Li Shimin didn't look very good at the moment. Li Junxian had been searching for so long, but still found nothing.
Li Junxian said: "That piece of paper has never appeared again in Chang'an City."
Li Shimin paced back and forth, frowning and asked: "It hasn't appeared on the market?"
Li Junxian bowed and said, "It's like he disappeared."
Hearing this, Li Shimin sat down again. Could the person who made this kind of paper pulp only sell it once?
Since he can make pulp, he can't make paper?
Just disappeared in Chang'an City?
Li Shimin whispered: "Don't make this matter public, secretly send someone to investigate."
"Here!"
Li Shimin knew the pros and cons very well.
In the face of such huge benefits as paper, it would be troublesome if someone with a heart gets it.
In order to consolidate their position, aristocratic families may recruit.
If they cannot recruit him, the family would rather kill this person to maintain their status.
It's not like Li Shimin has never seen such a thing before.
For their own benefit, those people will do anything.
The market in Chang'an City is like a treasure house, where you can always buy something unexpected.
Just like spinach, today's Tang Dynasty emphasizes agriculture but does not suppress business.
In addition, it is winter now and the New Year is coming soon. There are more and more people from the Western Regions in Chang'an City these days.
There are Turks and there are Xue Yantuo.
There are also some small countries in the Western Region that cannot be named.
With the arrival of these envoys from various countries, more and more caravans came to Chang'an.
All kinds of goods from outside the customs will flow into Chang'an City.
You can see all kinds of weird things in the market.
There were also foreign businessmen with different accents shouting.
Taking Li Yue to the market for the first time.
Li Yue is quite happy now. When she sees novel things, she always wants to see more. Now that she is a rich woman with a small family background, she will buy anything that catches her fancy.
The things were weird and weird, she even bought a bowl made of yak bones, and some things she couldn't name.
I don't even know what it is used for.
Women have always done the same thing when shopping since ancient times.
Zhang Yang bought some saffron. Saffron is a rare thing and a good medicinal material.
I also bought some beef jerky for toothpaste.
Li Yue was fond of wine, and with her sharp nose, she smelled the smell of wine and looked for it.
We came to a shop belonging to a Westerner who was selling wine.
Barrels of wine were placed on the ground.
The businessman from the Western Regions immediately took out a bowl and said, "How about a taste for the two guests?"
Li Yue took a small taste and handed it to Zhang Yang, "You want to try it too?"
Take a sip of sour wine, and after drinking it, the smell of alcohol comes out of your nose.
Li Yue clicked her tongue and said, "It's not as good as the ones I drank when I was a kid."
Did your daughter-in-law drink wine when she was a child?
You must know that wine is a rare item in Chang'an City and is quite expensive.
Li Yue happily bought a pot and said with some pride: "You haven't drank it before. I'll try it when I get back tonight."
Love, you still buy it for me to drink?
Huh? Do you really think I am ignorant and have never drank red wine?
When passing by a shop, Zhang Yang saw something.
Holding Li Yue's hand, she stopped in front of this shop.
What attracted Zhang Yang was the stick-like things in this shop.
Others may not recognize this thing, but Zhang Yang does.
Isn’t this sugar cane?
Moreover, the sugar cane was dried up.
Maybe it's for preservation.
The dealer guarding the shop saw Zhang Yang stop and said, "Guest, this thing is sweet, do you want to try it?"
Zhang Yang said: "Where did you come from?"
The man said: "I'm from Lingnan."
Sugarcane is indeed grown in the Lingnan area.
The dealer bit into a sugar cane and said, "Bite hard, there is still sweetness in it, but there is no fresh sweetness."
Zhang Yang took out some money and asked for five kilograms of sugar cane.
No one wanted this thing, and it was cheap.
Sugarcane is a good material for making sugar.
Carrying five kilograms of sugar cane, I can no longer hold anything else.
After returning home, Zhang Yang washed the sugar cane and put it in a basin.
Pour water into the basin and wonder how much sucrose can be squeezed out of this sugarcane.
Li Yue looked at it curiously, "This thing looks like a stick. Can it be eaten?"
Zhang Yang looked at the sugar cane soaked in water and said: "Eating is not important, what is important is that I see if I can make sugar."
If these sugar canes can be used to make sugar, Zhang Yang wants to take over all the sugar canes.
I don’t know where the fat man Li Tai went. I haven’t seen him for some days.
People's hearts are not as old as they used to be. Is it possible that they really make money and refuse to admit it?
There is sugar cane in Lingnan, but maybe we don’t have the technology to make brown sugar yet.
Maybe we can use Li Tai's name to cooperate with Lingnan merchants to make brown sugar that is easy to preserve.
It is unrealistic to transport sugar cane from Lingnan to Chang'an.
At a time when preservation technology is almost zero, the sugar cane is already spoiled before it reaches Chang'an.
Moreover, brown sugar can also be extracted into white sugar, which also solves the problem of sugar consumption and is an important opportunity to improve the quality of life.
While soaking the sugar cane, Li Yue started to do the questions again.
Zhang Yang was busy preparing for dinner. He sliced the frozen mutton and cooked it in hot pot.
Boil the bottom of a pot with mutton bone soup.
Fry another braised pork.
Freezing rain fell again in Chang'an City at night.
The couple ate hot pot and drank wine.
The wines of this era were not strong and quite sour.
Li Yue drank very happily. She thought about it and said: "I don't know when was the last time I drank wine. I almost forgot the taste."
After drinking the wine, the young wife's face began to turn red.
The drink went down my throat, but it wasn't that cold anymore.
I didn't feel drunk after drinking a bottle, but my head felt a little heavy.
At night, Zhang Yang moved the soaked sugar cane into his room to prevent it from freezing.
Li Yue took a hot bath and put on her pajamas.
Zhang Yang saw that she had gotten into bed, that was my bed.
