Chapter 5 A Word to Wake Up (Part 1)
The young man came close and sang: "Who is Zhou Chongzhou, who is so oily in stone?" The voice was crisp and pleasant, not like a male voice, but like a charming girl. In addition, he is thin, especially with his slender waist, not as thick as a man, and he feels like a man is not a man.
"The stone nest is oily? It can really break it. There are so many oil pressing equipment in society now. If you see it, you will be so surprised that your eyes will fall off? So wouldn't it be a magic trick that is made out of nothing?" Zhou Chong laughed in his heart, stepped forward and clasped his fists, imitating the ancient voice: "Next Zhou Chong. I dare to ask my brother Taiwan University."
The young man bowed his fists and said, "I have met Brother Zhou in Zengyao."
"It turns out to be Brother Zeng, I'm lucky to meet you." Zhou Chong still spoke in an ancient voice.
Zeng Yao was so happy that he got to the point and said, "I passed by the land and heard that Brother Zhou was unpredictable and the stone nest was filled with oil. I was curious for a moment and came to see what happened. I would like to ask Brother Zhou to give me advice."
When the stone wreath was oily, Zhou Chong was really ashamed and said humbly: "Brother Zeng is too proud of me. I dare not take it as oily in stone wreath. Beans originally had oil, but I just followed the trend and squeezed it out with the stone wreath."
Zeng Yao raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I met Brother Zhou for the first time, and my friendship is shallow and hard to speak. However, I still have a sentence that is not very mediocre. I don't know whether to speak or not?"
The ancients were simple, and he must have said something bad. Zhou Chong was not only not disgusted, but was a little curious and asked, "Brother Zeng, please speak, please listen to the good words." Zhou Chong learned the ancients' words very carefully. People who don't understand his background will definitely regard him as an ancient man who is a native of the country.
Zeng Yao clasped his fists and said to offend: "Since that's the case, I'll speak out bluntly. The stimulation statement is quite derogatory. I don't dare to agree. It's better to just call out oil. What's the point of Brother Zhou?"
Before the two met, they said three sentences. He actually accused Zhou Chong of his inappropriate words and inappropriate words. It was really presumptuous. However, Zhou Chong liked his straightforward personality. Besides, his words made sense. It was nothing to squeeze out in modern society. In some cases, it was a great event in ancient times. * I don’t know how many times have been recorded in history books. Zhou Chong nodded and agreed: “Thank you, Brother Zeng, please remember. Brother Zeng, please come into the house and have a cup of hot water.”
Zeng Yao waved his hand and said, "Brother Zhou, there is no need. Brother Zhou, I have a heartless request, so I would like to ask Brother Zhou to allow him."
"Brother Zeng has something to say, but it's okay to say it." Zhou Chong said with a smile.
Zeng Yao folded his fists and accused him: "Brother Zhou, I am here to make oil for Brother Zhou's stone wand. Can Brother Zhou give me a feast for my eyes?"
"I thought it was a difficult thing, but it turned out to be this." Zhou Chong was a little afraid to agree with him in his heart, and said with a slight gesture: "Brother Zeng, Zhou Chong dares to be worse than life when he sees love. Brother Zeng, please!"
Zeng Yao said politely: "Brother Zhou, please."
The two walked together and came to the stove. Zhou Chong began to explain to him how to fry beans, and then to the stone nest, and how to press them. In modern society, oil pressing has very strict technology. Not only does it take off the oil, but it also needs to be disinfected. Zhou Chong didn't know much about these professional techniques and didn't know much. Besides, even if he knew, it could not be implemented, after all, the conditions were not met.
If you want to talk about Zhou Chong's eloquence, being able to speak wisely, and being able to describe straw as gold is too exaggerated and you won't be able to explain it clearly. What's more, Zhou Chong found that Zeng Yao was very smart and a very good student who could learn from one example and learn from other things. He finished the explanation soon.
Zeng Yao looked at Shiwo and said with emotion: "So that's the case. The beans themselves have oil. Brother Zhou just puts some effort to press the oil out. It is not a mysterious and unexpected technique that makes people feel like this. Brother Zhou, I have shallow knowledge, please don't laugh."
He is a straightforward person, smart, polite and decent person. Although Zhou Chong and him had a short acquaintance, they had a great affection and invited him, "If Brother Zeng doesn't abandon him, please go into the house to rest."
Zeng Yao nodded and said, "Thank you Brother Zhou. Even if Brother Zhou doesn't say it, I will come uninvited and taste Brother Zhou's ability to boil water and roll snowflakes."
"Isn't it just to make tofu, and it's boiling water and snowflakes. You can really tell me!" Zhou Chong couldn't help laughing anymore, and burst out laughing and said, "Brother Zeng, please come into the house, so that you can see it."
When the two entered the house, Old Man Sun brought hot water and went to the stove to work with his wife for food. Zeng Yao took a sip of hot water, looked at the villagers outside the house, and asked, "Brother Zhou, why are there so many villagers here? It's the busy farming season, and I don't go to work, but I'm not afraid of the king's law."
In order to adapt to the needs of heroes and fighting, after Shang Yang's reform, the people of Qin had to do their best to farm and farm in the busy farming season and not be lazy, otherwise they would be punished.
Zhou Chongzheng was worried about this and said helplessly: "Brother Zeng doesn't know that they are here to change the oil. However, I only have one stone nest, and it's a bit difficult to use it myself. Where can I exchange oil for them?"
Zeng Yao put down the clay pot and said, "Brother Zhou, please forgive me for saying that this is yours."
The transactions have to be voluntarily. Zhou Chong is unwilling to change that is his freedom. Why is it not the case again? Zhou Chong was really a little confused and asked, "What do you say about Brother Zeng?"
"I have a few questions to ask Brother Zhou, and I would like to ask Brother Zhou to speak out." Zeng Yao asked directly without waiting for Zhou Chong to speak: "Brother Zhou, is oil good for the villagers?"
It's still necessary to ask, that's not an obvious matter. If there is no benefit, the villagers will not come to change it. Zhou Chong nodded and said, "With oil, they can make their meals delicious and good for their bodies. It's no problem to be strong."
Zeng Yao agreed very much: "That's it. This is a big deal. Why don't Brother Zhou do it? Brother Zhou's own kindness has benefited countless villagers. This is a great good deed. Besides, in the current situation, the imperial career of the Great Qin has gradually become successful, but the countries in Shandong are still resisting. If the Qin Dynasty wants to achieve the imperial career, it must fight. If it wants to fight, it must support the army. If it wants to support the army, it must first strengthen the people. It is a major event for the country and the people!"
Zhou Chong was not very interested in these military and national affairs. He thought to himself that even if he did not come to this world, wouldn’t Qin State still be unified? Qin Shihuang unified the country, and he was done without soybean oil? He smiled and said, “Brother Zeng was anxious about the times, and Zhou Chong was impressed. However, that was the business of the meat eater. I was just a fool, and I didn’t hear about military and national affairs. If I were not in my position, I would not do my own politics.”
Zeng Yao did not dare to agree with his words and argued: "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of a country, the Zhou family is weak, and the power to move the tripod has been completed. Those who can set up the tripod in China are the Great Qin. If Brother Zhou does a good deed, his achievements will last for thousands of years and keep his fragrance in history, wouldn't it be beautiful!"
From the bottom of my heart, Zhou Chong really wanted to agree to the villagers' request, but he was really willing but not enough. He could do it alone. He smiled bitterly and said, "It is a good thing to worry about the country and the people, but I, Zhou Chong, are not this material, so I will not suffer." Zhou Chong, who likes history, knows that Qin Shihuang is mean and young. If he is really worried and angry about the times and has a relationship with him, one thing is bad is to kill him, so he finds an excuse.
"Brother Zhou, please listen to me to give you a metaphor." Zeng Yao gave an example: "The rats in the toilet can only be with the stench all day long. Whenever someone goes to the toilet, they will flee in a hurry. The rats in the granary eat enough and are comfortable all day long. What is the reason for this?"
