Chapter 25 Preparation for toothpaste
After hearing Ma Qiang's words, Lin Huan was overjoyed at first, then frowned and asked worriedly, "Since it is a secret that is not taught by the Malang sect, can we learn it?"
Ma Qiang said with a smile, "Our school of science, like Confucianism, also emphasizes teaching without distinction, and there is no sectarianism. Moreover, toothpaste and toothbrush can prevent people from dental diseases. I wish that everyone would have such things in their hands in the future."
"Ma Lang cares about the world and is righteous! Everyone, listen, Ma Lang teaches whoever Ma Lang says to teach. Those who have learned are not allowed to leak out, and those who have not learned are not allowed to steal. Otherwise, if Ma Lang does not come forward, we old people will
This guy is going to come out and kill you too!" Lin Huan shouted loudly, and the young people around him did not dare to play after hearing this, and they all clasped their fists and shouted "Promise".
The labor system or economic system of Dasong Village is actually semi-manorial. Since there are not many fields in Dasong Village, most of the food is obtained through fishing, hunting, gathering, etc., which makes it impossible for one person or a family to obtain enough.
Only through collective cooperation can the whole village avoid starvation.
This kind of manor economy was actually the main economic model before the Tang and Song Dynasties in China. The later small-scale peasant economy had to wait until the Tang Dynasty. By that time, the fields were no longer divided by families, but by heads. This also made
The demise of the millennium-old families since the Qin and Han Dynasties has also brought about the disadvantage that the small-scale peasant economy is extremely sensitive to the external environment.
All in all, there are pros and cons.
But for Ma Qiang at this time, the manor economy was really convenient. At least in terms of division of labor and cooperation, everyone had a accustomed position.
Among the five people in Lin Huan, Lu An is in charge of hunting and is going out with a few good hunters at this time. Yang Wanli is in charge of warehousing and is always in the warehouse with his child Yang Chi. Yue Liang is in charge of blacksmithing and tool making. Guo Ping is in charge of warehousing.
He is responsible for farming, collection and medical care, while Lin Huan is responsible for all matters and defense in the village.
Other people in the village will follow these five people to do various tasks based on the different things they are good at.
"It is not difficult to make toothbrushes and toothpaste, so I only need four people first. Qingcheng, these people are the ones you are most familiar with. You can help me choose one. I want one who knows woodworking, one who knows how to distinguish ores and forging, and one who is strong and powerful.
A man of few words and a careful one."
Ma Qiang is the big boss in the laboratory, so naturally the second boss does the job of selecting people.
Lu Qingcheng looked at everyone and said, "If we want to be the most careful in our village, then it's Lu Yun. He can distinguish ore and forge. Only my uncle-in-law in our village can blacksmith. Yueyang, how about you come?"
Yue Yang touched his stomach and said somewhat unhappily, "What are you doing when you make toothpaste and you can't eat it? You might as well find something to eat to fill your stomach."
"Yue Yang! If you keep talking nonsense, your father is not here, believe it or not, I will beat you?" Lin Huan shouted, "Qing Cheng, don't want him anymore, find another one!"
Qingcheng snorted at Yue Yang, feeling a little embarrassed. There were indeed not many people in this village who knew about ore.
"Sister Qingcheng, I want to go!" A little hand stood up on the side. "My uncle-in-law taught me how to recognize stones. I know them."
It was Lin Zhi who was speaking. Ma Qiang suddenly discovered that there was a white smoke in Lin Zhi's arms. When he was doing the Five Animals Show, there was nothing there. By the way, where did the loess go?
"Meow!" Ma Qiang felt his legs itching. He lowered his head and saw, oh, there was loess under his feet.
"Why are you here?"
"Meow~"——"Brush your teeth~"
Come on, these two have developed a good habit of brushing their teeth.
Thinking about how I used to lie in bed and scroll through my phone until I fell asleep before brushing my teeth, I couldn’t help but feel a little guilty. (It’s obviously the author who does this, so what does it have to do with me, Ma Qiang?)
"Ling Zhi... you are too young, otherwise let Liu Hui do it. Brother Liu Hui, you often help your uncle-in-law blacksmith, right?"
"Yes, I also know some minerals." Liu Hui is a strong man with a beard and some pockmarks on his face.
In ancient times, blacksmiths often had some pockmarks. This was actually caused by sparks from the cracked iron splattering onto the body due to insufficient protection.
"That's good, plus me and Guo Jin, there will be exactly four of us."
The second boss Lu Qingcheng reported to the big boss Ma Qiang.
"Um...are you strong or someone who knows carpentry?" Ma Qiang wanted to ask, but he still held back.
"Okay, let's gather here in half an hour. Let's go back and say something. Then Qingcheng, we will need stone grinding and carpentry tools later. Can you help find them? We also need to ask Uncle Yue.
Let me borrow the forging furnace and go talk to Uncle Yue."
"There is only one stone mill in our village, and it is placed in the house in the middle of the village. I know where the carpentry tools are, so I will go look for them. Don't worry about Uncle Yue, I will go talk to you."
We still need laboratory props, so the second boss will naturally do the preparation work.
What does the big boss do?
Of course the big boss is thinking about the problem! Do you still wash the test tubes? That is what scientific research dogs do.
I think back then, Ma Qiang also worked as a scientific research dog, progressing from a scientific research dog to a scientific research migrant worker, and then to the second boss and the big boss.
Of course, due to Ma Qiang's talent and opportunities, his progress is extremely fast.
Taught Lin Zhi to brush Baiyan's teeth, Ma Qiang brushed Huangtu's teeth himself, and then brushed his teeth again.
Breakfast is millet porridge with dark sauce.
Millet is also the millet among the five grains. In fact, there have been different opinions on which grains the grains are. Zheng Xuan, a master of Confucian classics in this era, thought they were hemp, broomcorn millet, millet, wheat, and beans, while Zhao Qi thought they were rice, millet, and millet.
Millet, wheat, and bean sprouts, but no matter which one, millet is among them, which shows the status of millet at this time.
The characteristic of millet is that it is drought-resistant, making it a good planting choice for areas where water is scarce or where water conservancy projects are not perfect.
But even so, the taste of the millet porridge that Ma Qiang drinks now is much different from that of later generations. After all, the millet of later generations is the result of two thousand years of continuous optimization.
But after eating barbecue for so long, Ma Qiang still felt that this bowl of millet porridge was extremely sweet.
After finishing the porridge, he thanked the Lin family for their hospitality and came to the yard. Lu Qingcheng and Guo Jin had almost prepared the ingredients.
"Brother Ma, what do you think?"
Ma Qiang walked down and took a look. Everything he wanted was there, so he smiled and said, "Okay, let's prepare to group up."
What we need to do is a toothbrush and toothpaste. The toothbrush needs wood, fine hemp rope, pig bristles or other animal hair. The standard can be judged by holding my toothbrush. This is very simple. Qingcheng you and Lu Yun are responsible for it.
Then there is toothpaste. The materials required for toothpaste are very complicated. So, let me first tell you which ones can be found directly and which ones require some time.
We need to use fat meat, limestone, plant ash, salt, algae or konjac, mint, pine leaves... Forget it, we don’t need the pine leaves yet.”
Ma Qiang originally wanted to directly make toothpaste similar to that of later generations, but when he thought about the current experimental equipment, it is almost impossible to do complex chemical experiments without various glass instruments. In this case, it is better to make a simple version first.
