At the same time, Ye Feng took off Shen Xi's footwear. At this time, the shoes were called footwear.
Massage the Taichong point on his feet. Taichong point is the Shu point and the original point on the Jueyin liver meridian. It can treat diseases in the parts where the liver meridian escapes and diseases in the internal organs.
Pressing this acupoint has the effect of soothing emotions. Especially when the mood is particularly bad and the pressure is particularly high, pressing and rubbing the Taichong acupoints on both sides can achieve a good soothing effect.
After Shen Xi's mood stabilized a little, Ye Feng had people carry Shen Xi back to the earthen house, and asked people to take care of him in turns. Because he was in a bad mood, Shen Xi had dinner that day and didn't eat anything.
Ye Feng went out early the next morning, thinking about buying some dishes and making some delicious meals for Shen Xi. Ye Feng still had some confidence in his cooking skills.
When he was young, he once thought that if he couldn't survive making inventions, he would become a chef. He felt that the two jobs were almost the same. Only when others have what they have, I can do my best.
However, the market will not be held frequently during this period, only at specified times.
Generally, markets are run by the government and are held within a specified area in the city. It is usually a large courtyard-like place. People can find a place to set up stalls here and sell products after paying a certain fee.
Of course, there are generally regional characteristics based on the specialties of different regions.
There was no market open today, so Ye Feng had to walk around and look around. Qiemo City is not big, so Ye Feng walked around for a while and walked to Qiemo City CBD.
I just happened to see the clerk in Adili's carpentry shop opening the shop. Adili stretched and yawned and walked out of it. Usually Adili wouldn't get up so early. In fact, he has too many things to worry about recently and can't sleep. So he left. I went to the front yard to take a look and happened to see Ye Feng passing by the door.
Adili said happily: "Brother Ye Feng, it's so early, where are you going?"
Ye Feng saw Adili and saluted and said: "Brother Adili, good morning."
Upon seeing this, Adili immediately returned the favor. Fortunately, the situation between the two of them did not happen again.
Ye Feng said: "You also know what's going on at Brother Shen's house. Brother Shen hasn't eaten much in the past two days. I'm thinking of buying something and cooking some delicious meals for him to see if I can get him to eat something."
Adili was greatly appreciated when he heard this: "Brother Ye is very thoughtful. I'm so lucky to have a brother like you. Brother Ye doesn't have to look around anymore. Come to my house. I have all kinds of fruits, vegetables and meat at home. You can take whatever you like." "As he said this, he invited Ye Feng into the store.
Ye Feng was not too polite this time and said: "That would be great. I would like to thank Brother Adili on behalf of Brother Shen."
Adili said: "Why are you being polite to me? We are all good friends and brothers. Shen Xi is also a close friend of mine for many years. I don't know how I can help him now, so you don't have to be polite to me."
After saying that, they invited each other into the house. The two passed through the shop in front, and behind it was the place where the servants lived. Then they passed through a courtyard and behind it was the place to receive guests. There was also a gate on the side of the yard, which was used to enter and exit the carriages and horses. .
The last time he had dinner, Ye Feng came to the hall on one side of the courtyard. Behind the hall is the inner house of the Adili family, which is equivalent to a three-entry courtyard.
There was a kitchen next to the yard, and Adili took Ye Feng into the kitchen. The kitchen was very large and there were various fruits, vegetables and meat hanging on wooden shelves and beams.
Adili said: "Brother Ye Feng, you can choose whatever you like. I'll have someone wrap it up for you."
Ye Feng looked carefully. The meat included cattle, sheep, and chicken. The vegetables and fruits included grapes, melons, dates, onions, ginger, leeks, ferns, taro, shepherd's purse, curly ears, celery, etc., as well as deer, wild geese, finches, and rabbits. Waiting for game.
It is indeed rare to have such a family background in this period. It can be seen that the Adili family is also a very influential family in the local area.
Ye Feng took a chicken, some beef and mutton, grapes, dates, onions, ginger, leeks, celery and eggs. Ye Feng was going to give Adili some gold leaves that he had exchanged for gold cakes yesterday.
Adili saw this and said angrily: "Brother Ye Feng, what are you doing? You are slapping me in the face. If you do this, I will not recognize you as my brother."
Seeing Adili's attitude, Ye Feng could only say awkwardly: "Get used to it, get used to it. Brother Adili, don't mind." He took back the gold leaf.
Seeing this, Adili returned to his normal demeanor and said: "Is this right? You are still doing this with me. Doesn't this treat me as an outsider? If Shen Xi still can't eat, you bring him to my place and I'll invite you to A good cook will come and prepare delicious food for him."
While Ye Feng was chatting with Adili, the two of them walked out. Ye Feng saw that there was copper smelting equipment in Adili's carpentry shop.
Two people were smelting copper swords. There were two broken copper swords on the ground, as well as some severed heads of halberds. It seemed that the smelting had failed.
Ye Feng asked: "Brother Adili still makes copperware and weapons?"
Adili said: "Didn't we catch a lot of spies from the Loulan Kingdom recently? We learned from them that Loulan has been coveting our Qiemo City for a long time. We just wanted to make some preparations and prepare some food, grass and weapons."
"The king ordered me to make ten swords and a hundred halberds a month. But the weapons we made were either too brittle or too soft to be used."
Ye Feng carefully looked at the raw materials they used and found that there was something wrong with the ratio. But he didn't want to teach too many techniques to the countries in the Western Region. After thinking about it, he said: "I know a recipe, but it's not complete. Let me give you a reference. "
Adili asked in surprise: "What? Brother Ye Feng, do you even know how to attack gold?" During this period, coppersmiths were called goldsmiths.
Ye Feng replied: "I understand a little, I understand a little."
Adili thought to himself: "I believe you, you said you had a little understanding last time, but it turned out to be a master level."
Without thinking too much, Adili immediately called the coppersmith and asked him and Ye Feng to learn how to smelt.
The coppersmith had heard about Ye Feng from the carpenter before. So although he knew that Ye Feng was just a guard, he did not show any disrespect and instead listened respectfully to Ye Feng's advice.
Ye Feng thought for a while and said: "Five parts of copper and one part of tin can be used to refine weapons such as axes. Four parts of copper and one part of tin can be used to refine weapons such as halberds. Three parts of copper and one part of tin can be used to refine weapons. Refining sword-type weapons. Five parts of copper and two parts of tin can be used to refine arrow-type weapons.”
This recipe is part of what Ye Feng has read in the "Kao Gong Ji" written by Qi people during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.
However, Ye Feng suddenly thought of a strange thing. Many people believed that Kao Gong Ji was destroyed by burning books and entrapping Confucian scholars, but this book appeared again during the Western Han Dynasty. In addition, many Han tombs excavated in later generations were also unearthed one after another. Many people believed that the book was destroyed by the burning of books. Books burned during the book-camping period, as well as some technical finished products, etc.
So the question arises, did the burning of books and the humiliation of Confucianism destroy these things? Why did these things really become extinct in the "yang world" after hundreds of schools of thought were deposed?
Ye Feng did not tell the complete formula. In fact, in the process of smelting copper ware recorded in this book, alloys such as lead were also added. Later, there was even a technology to cast copper alloys by adding iron, chromium, etc.
But in order to avoid giving too many professors, which would be detrimental to Gu Wa in the future, Ye Feng taught some and left some behind. However, this has allowed the Qiemo people to move up a level in weapons manufacturing.
However, Ye Feng is not very afraid that Qie Mo has learned how to make alloy copper weapons, because Ye Feng knows that it will not be long before Gu Wa has iron smelting technology. These copper weapons are vulnerable to iron weapons.
After the coppersmith listened carefully to Ye Feng's formula, he memorized it in his mind. After thanking him, he couldn't wait to try to refine the copper sword. Adili also ordered someone to take the sheepskin and record the formula.
Adili was afraid that the coppersmith might not grasp the key, so he took Ye Feng aside to chat.
During the chat, the matter of the left and right general Ai Zezi was mentioned. As for the matter of the left and right general Ai Zezi, Ye Feng had heard Shen Xi give a rough idea before. He only knew that the Marquis of Fuguo saw the right general Ai Zezi coming out of the spy's residence. , reported him.
There is a spy living here, who was betrayed by another spy.
When the right general Ai Zezi went here, his own explanation was that he felt that the left general was behaving strangely at that time, so he followed him.
Because the relationship between the two sides was at odds, the right general Ai Zezi saw that the left general was behaving strangely and wanted to see if there was anything he could do to arrest him.
What I didn't expect in the end was that General Zuo had an alibi, so he was found to have made up a lie to frame General Zuo. So General Ai Zezi was sentenced to prison for collaborating with the enemy. At that time, he and Ye Feng were almost arrested together. put to death.
Later, I heard at the execution ground that someone had proved that the carriage belonging to the left general's family had visited the spy's residence. Because there were doubts about the case, the right general Ai Zezi was imprisoned again.
Later, because the matter had nothing to do with him, Ye Feng didn't ask any more questions. Unexpectedly, Adili mentioned this matter again today.
It turned out that a carriage owned by General Zuo's family was sent to Adili's shop for repairs the day before the incident. That night, General Zuo and a coachman went to the shop to pick up the carriage. Adili was not at home at the time, and the carpenter received General Zuo.
After the left general took the carriage from here, he went directly to the place where the spies lived. This process was witnessed by another nobleman. This nobleman had just returned on the day that the right general Ai Zezi was about to be executed, and reported to the palace. What I saw today.
Qie Mo was a slave country and was divided into three classes: nobles, commoners and slaves. The nobles had more say, so the nobleman's testimony affected the entire case.
General Zuo's previous alibi was that he was drinking with the civil officer in charge of people's livelihood. Later, the civil officer changed his story and said that he was drunk at the time and could not remember the rest of the incident clearly.
Suddenly General Zuo became a target of suspicion again. General Zuo was ordered by the king to stay at home and was not allowed to go out without an order. Although Adili was not from any faction, he and General Zuo were both direct relatives of King Qiemo, so he was very concerned about it. this matter.
Ye Feng thought for a while and said, "There are two strange things about this matter."
When Adili heard what Ye Feng said, he asked excitedly: "Why is it strange? What has Ye Feng discovered? You might as well tell us."
Ye Feng continued: "On the one hand, it stands to reason that General Zuo's family has several carriages and we should not be in a hurry to use this one. In addition, to pick up the carriage, just arrange for a servant to pick it up. General Zuo should not come to pick it up in person. Also, Yes, it’s such a short road, so there’s no need to pick up a carriage and go there, right?”
