"One sulfur..."

"Dinitrate..."

"Three charcoal... Oh, it's a pity that there is no sugar in this era!" Huo Guang said to himself, playing with the bronze mirror in his hand, preparing to make fire to the sun.

This was the most common method of making fire during the Qin and Han Dynasties. Gold and tin were used as mirrors to make a concave surface, and then flammable materials such as moxa and velvet were used to ignite the fire at the heat gathering point.

Although this method of making fire is simple, it has one biggest drawback, which is that it cannot be used on cloudy days.

so!

During this period, people would "pair a gold flint on the left and a wooden flint on the inside". As long as the sun was shining, they would use the gold flint to make fire, and if there was no sun, they would use the wooden flint to make fire.

Huo Guang now uses gold sui to make fire.

certainly.

He did not directly ignite homemade low-quality gunpowder, but first caused the spontaneous combustion of moxa, velvet and other easily flammable objects, and then ignited dry firewood and used the firewood to ignite the gunpowder.

"Whether you can develop in the future depends on you!" After Huo Guang got the fire, he put the lit firewood close to the homemade gunpowder with a little anxiety.

But before he could light it to verify, a basin of cold water was poured on it.

That’s right!

It's really a basin of cold water.

The gunpowder he had worked so hard for several days to make was just doused. Huo Guang immediately looked up angrily and found that it was the cowardly and somewhat lustful father of the original owner of this body.

Immediately!

Huo Guanglai got angry, stood up and said childishly: "Oh, what are you doing!"

"What do you want me to do? I asked you to raise pigs well, and you little brat came here to play with fire. You don't know that water and fire are ruthless!" Huo Zhongru angrily hit Huo Guang on the head with a wooden basin.

The wooden basins of this period were no better than the plastic basins of later generations. It would hurt like hell if you knocked them.

Huo Guang suddenly grinned in pain and said at the same time: "Raising pigs is what a seven-foot man like me does? If you have the ability, go help recommend your son and me to become an official in the court. Then our Huo family

How can you go straight to success and still have to live through such hardship?"

In this era, officials were recommended by recommendation rather than by imperial examination.

Ordinary people are not even qualified to read and write, let alone serve as officials in the court. Those who are qualified to recommend are the aristocratic families in the court.

Many people like to say that noble children come from poor families.

Actually.

In ancient times, poor families did not refer to uncivilized common people.

When Huo Zhongru heard this, he immediately said angrily: "What are you daydreaming about? Your father and I are just a small official in Pingyang County. I can support your mother and you. If I had the ability to recommend, I would have done it long ago.

I recommended myself, is it your turn?"

Huh?

What do you mean by this, it's his turn again? Feelings don't seem to be his son!

Eh...

It doesn't seem to be the case. Strictly speaking, the original owner of this body is.

Thinking of this, Huo Guang couldn't help but sigh. He couldn't count on his father becoming a dragon. If he wanted to be successful in the future, he could only rely on himself.

When Huo Zhongru saw that his son was silent, he continued: "Okay, let's not talk anymore. The governor of Hedong sent someone to invite me to his party. My father is going out for a trip. You should stay at home and stay safe. Don't play with fire!"

"Oh!" Huo Guang snorted lightly, not paying much attention.

Nitre is hard to collect!

This little gunpowder was poured out by my father with a basin of water, and he was still playing with yarn.

wrong!

"What does it mean to play? I call this to start a business!" Huo Guang rolled his eyes and looked helplessly at Huo Zhongru who had walked away.

This old man!

Incompetent bungler.

Even if he is poor and useless, he is also a rotten scholar. His character is quite timid and cowardly, and he is also a bit lustful. But being lustful is normal, men are lustful. If not, human beings would have become extinct long ago.

"Why!"

Huo Guang sighed and took the bronze mirror with Jin Sui back home.

The mother of the original owner was making clothes. When she saw him coming in, she said, "Guang'er, you are playing with fire again and your father must have killed you!"

"oh."

Huo Guang snorted softly as a response.

The original owner's mother shouted at this time: "Guang'er, be good, go and help me get some pieces of linen."

"Okay!" Huo Guang nodded lightly.

Although the Han Dynasty already had such good things as silk and satin, it was a pity that the original owner's cheap father Huo Zhongru was just a lowly official, no different from ordinary people.

What materials did ordinary people wear during this period?

It is nothing more than linen made of ramie, or kudzu cloth made of twisted kudzu fibers, etc., and finally the most primitive form of fur clothing made of animal skins.

Of course, silk fabrics are also available.

pity!

Clothes made of this kind of material obviously can only appear in the upper class of society.

Huo Guang took a few pieces of linen and handed them to his mother, then walked out. At this time, his mother quickly asked: "Guang'er, what are you doing out again?"

"Squatting in the pit... um, going to the toilet!" Huo Guang said calmly.

Going to the toilet is an ancient way of talking about squatting in the toilet. For example, when Sima Qian was describing the Hongmen Banquet, he wrote, "After sitting for a while, Pei Gong got up to go to the toilet."

A flash of smoke.

Huo Guang had already arrived at the toilet and started normal physiological activities. After using the toilet, he picked up the toilet chip next to him, which was a polished piece of bamboo. He frowned and started wiping with a look of pain on his face.

"Oh, I can't stand it. Life in ancient times is really terrible!"

"It's okay if there is no air conditioning in the summer. You have to wipe your butt with bamboo chips when you go to the toilet. There is not even toilet paper."

"I can't get through this day."

The most terrible thing is that this toilet chip must be reused and cannot be thrown away. After Huo Guang uses it, he must take the bamboo piece and wash it, otherwise it will be useless later.

Speechless...

Huo Guang looked a little disgusted and took the toilet seat to the stream to wash himself. Suddenly he was stunned, as if he thought of something.

Toilet chips?

Toilet paper?

No, although the Han Dynasty didn't have this thing, I can make it myself...

You can make gunpowder, but are you worried that you can’t make toilet paper?

hehe!

Especially for things like gunpowder, there may not be a market for it after it is made, but toilet paper is an absolute bestseller.

Thinking of this, Huo Guang's eyes couldn't help but light up. He threw away the toilet chips in his hand and shouted happily: "I'm going to be rich, hahaha, mother, stop weaving linen, I thought of a good thing to make a fortune."

!”

"..."

I don’t know if Huo Guangfa is developed, but Huo Zhongru, the cheap father of the original owner of his body, is really developed.

evening.

Huo Zhongru came back with a glowing face, and the governor of Hedong personally sent him back. Behind him were four or five slaves, all of whom were given to Huo Zhongru.

besides.

The impoverished Huo Zhongru also had a new field and house.

No!

Once his pockets are bulging, he has the confidence of a man. After he comes back, he instigates his wife and children to move to a new home without saying a word.

Are these all sent by the Governor of Hedong?

of course not!

But no matter how Huo Guang asked Huo Zhongru, the cheap dad didn't say a word. This made Huo Guang look curious. Seeing Huo Zhongru smelling of alcohol, he wondered if he had lost his virginity to a rich woman, right?

after all.

Although the father is old, his appearance is still online, otherwise the original owner Huo Guang would not be born and he is very talented.

While Huo Guang was thinking wildly, the cheap old man Huo Zhongru suddenly touched his stomach with a painful look on his face, as if he felt a little uncomfortable.

Then.

Without saying anything, he rushed directly into the toilet.

It must be that I ate too much meat and wine at noon and got upset.

only...
