In fact, if you think about it carefully, her temperament is even more valuable.
If she knows her identity and just wants to please her regardless of her original intentions, it means that she is nothing but a flatterer.
I can't even look down on such people.
But instead of giving herself iced drinks, she gave herself porridge. She was so angry!
He Yunxi found that the concubine did not use her much in the next few days, but she was still worried about the fact that he had given her porridge for two days. Even if the porridge was delicious, it was still porridge!
The concubine's body recovered, and He Yunxi made sweet and sour pork ribs for her. The concubine still liked the sour and sweet taste, and generously expressed that she would not punish her.
She put on the clothes He Yunxi had prepared for her, and her hair was tied up in a simple bun. She looked like an old lady from a slightly richer family.
She saw He Yunxi tinkering with stones and charcoal in the yard, and went over curiously: "Yunxi, what are you doing?"
He Yunxi was worried that her calling him Chang'an would reveal his identity, so he asked her to call him by his name.
Seeing the concubine eating a steamed bun, He Yunxi felt that she did not look like someone who had lived in the palace for most of her life.
Perhaps it was because of this that she wanted to move out of the palace.
Otherwise, I would have been able to return to Beijing in April or May, and it would not have been delayed.
"Grandma, have you finished your breakfast?" she stood up and asked.
"After eating, I found that the steamed buns with vegetables were quite good, so I took another one." The concubine said, "You have nothing to do, so why are you messing around with rocks and sand here? Are you so bored?"
"No, I'm working on the filter." He Yunxi said.
"Filter? What?"
He Yunxi pointed to the bucket next to him: "This is water from the Luo River, isn't it dirty?"
The concubine gave her a roll of her eyes. It's something that is visible to the naked eye, why do you still need to ask?
He Yunxi felt that the concubine was a bit straight-tempered, which she would never survive to become a concubine in the palace. Could it be that she had been oppressed in the palace for a long time and now she let herself go outside?
However, although she has an impatient temper and likes to boss people around a bit, she doesn't interfere with her life. In this regard, she likes it better.
If you had a godmother who kept telling you that you can't do this and that you can't do that every day, she would probably be unable to hold back the eight-meter-long sword in her hand.
"Recently, the water in the city has been getting less and less, and with the people outside the city, it is obviously not enough. I went out in the past two days and saw many people fetching water from the river to eat, but the water in Luohe Prefecture is relatively turbid.
It's easy to get sick after eating it, so I wanted to get a filter to filter the water." He Yunxi explained.
The concubine was curious: "Get rocks, sand, and charcoal?"
"Yeah. But I haven't done it before, so I want to give it a try. I don't know if it will work." After He Yunxi finished speaking, he squatted down and continued.
This was a field filtration device she had seen online before. The seller's video showed that it could filter turbid water into cool water, but she was not sure whether it would actually work.
It would be best if it succeeds.
The concubine was so curious that she asked Luo Fu to bring a stool over and sit in a shady place to watch He Yunxi doing it.
It's so hot today, and the sun is making me uncomfortable this early in the morning.
She took a bamboo tube with bamboo joints, poked some small holes in the bamboo joints, then put gauze in, then put washed sand, charcoal and stones in order, then put a layer of gauze on top, and pressed
After tightening, wrap this side with another piece and tie it with a rope.
"Is this good?" the princess asked.
"Yes. Let's try the effect now. Luo Fu, Fufeng, who of you two can help me hold this up?"
Just as Luo Fu took a step forward, Fufeng was already standing next to He Yunxi.
He Yunxi gave her the bamboo tube and asked her to hold it upright over a sea bowl, and use a funnel with her other hand to catch the river water He Yunxi scooped from the bucket.
The river water slowly flows into the bamboo tube. After a few seconds, water starts to drip from the bamboo joints.
The ones that were a little turbid at first, the concubine said: "It's still turbid. It seems like this is of no use to you!"
As a result, as soon as she finished speaking, the water dripping out became clear and no longer yellowish.
He Yunxi changed to a ceramic bowl. The white bottom of the bowl made the water clearer.
Everyone present was surprised.
The concubine stopped sitting on the stool and came to He Yunxi's side. She stared at the bamboo, as if she didn't understand why adding something to it made the water come out clear.
"It's strange. Aren't these sands and stones found by the river? The charcoal is also black, how can such clear water come out?" She felt very novel, as if she had discovered a new world.
"This is filtration." He Yunxi didn't talk about the adsorption effect of carbon, and it's hard to say. As long as everyone knows that this is useful.
After the water in the bamboo tube finished dripping, He Yunxi picked it up and took a sip. It still had some taste, but it was still much better than drinking river water directly. If it could be boiled again, drinking it would not have much impact.
"The effect is good, but it's a bit time-consuming." That's it, it took half an hour.
"There's nothing we can do about it. It's better to spend some time than drinking dirty water directly." He Yunxi said.
"That's right." The concubine nodded slightly.
Compared with getting sick or even dying from drinking dirty water, spending some time is the most cost-effective solution.
"But madam, with so many people, we need a lot of bamboo, right?" Luo Fu said.
"It doesn't have to be bamboo, you can also use other containers." He Yunxi said, "As long as the filtered things are placed in this order, it will be fine."
"Others are also okay?"
"Of course. The important thing is not the bamboo, but these filters."
After she finished speaking, she tapped the bottom of the previous sea bowl with a stone, and there were cracks at the bottom of the sea bowl. Then she put the filtering things in as she went, and then poured river water in to see the water leaking out from below.
"This is really okay, the water is still clean!" Luo Fu said.
"We've solved the problem, but what about the manpower?" Toffee asked, "This water is filtered so slowly, when will it be ready for everyone to use? Even if you are exhausted, it won't be enough."
"Why should I give it to others?" He Yunxi asked in surprise, "Just teach the people the method and let them do it themselves! The weather is hot now, and people rarely go out during the day. What they lack most is time."
The concubine was even more surprised: "You want to teach this method to others?"
"Of course. Why should I keep this?" He Yunxi said.
"You don't want to use this method to filter clean water and sell it for money?" The concubine heard her talk about making money in the past two days. She said that she didn't have enough money to spend and she had to find ways to make more money.
"No?" He Yunxi shook his head, "Although I like to make money, I don't want to make money for the country. The people are dying of thirst, how can I make such money."
The concubine took a deep look at He Yunxi and saw that her eyes were clear and firm. She was surprised and liked her overall view.
