Chapter 14: diligent

Regarding the issue of identity, Twenty-Seven is more open-minded than Ruan Qing.

He said: "If you really have no choice, there is no need to worry about this. I just act carefully and don't commit adultery and invite the police to investigate me."

"It's not that simple." Ruan Qing said, "Too many things in today's society are related to ID cards. You will understand how inconvenient it is later."

Ruan Qing has many plans for Twenty-Seven, and she also wants to take him by plane and high-speed rail!

She wanted to see with her own eyes what it was like for the ancients to fly into the sky on airplanes.

Ruan Qing first put away Nianqi's purse and opened her phone to take a look. She had ordered takeout while she was in the bedroom and it would have to wait a while. She found a few big bags and packed all Zhao Hao's shoes first.

Quite a lot.

Twenty-seven folded his arms and watched. Zhao Hao mentioned "shoes" several times just now. Twenty-seven didn't know about the shoe fetish of some modern boys and couldn't understand why he was so obsessed with shoes. He just said: "It looks pretty new."

"Throw it away, throw it away." Ruan Qing became angry again. Putting everything into a bag, he told Twenty-seven: "I'll buy you new shoes and underwear this afternoon."

Twenty-seven actually doesn't mind. In the past, for the sake of business, he never pretended to be anyone else, and even pretended to be a night fragrance man, carrying two loads of dung, and ambush the target person on the only way to pass by, and his whole body stank to death.

Nowadays, the situation is so unique that wearing someone else’s old clothes and shoes is not a big deal.

There are dangers at home, one is gas and the other is electricity. After Ruan Qing taught him how to light a fire and turn it off, he showed him the sockets and power strips at various locations in the house.

The garbage room was in the stairwell. Twenty-seven looked at the stairs going up and down.

The house has only one bedroom and one large bed. Zhao Hao's underwear and outerwear are all placed in Ruan Qing's wardrobe. Apparently they were living together before.

When he passed by the elevator on the way back, Ruan Qing also told him about fire protection knowledge such as not taking the elevator in case of fire. He also pointed out the fire hydrant: "That faucet is like the faucet at home. When it is turned on, water will flow." .

There are too many and trivial things to teach twenty-seven.

Ruan Qing is becoming more and more attracted to Nana Qi - he is tall and handsome, has high martial arts value, and has such a sharp eye.

This is Ruan Qing's private matter, and Twenty-Seven doesn't say much. Seeing Ruan Qing stand up, he took the initiative to bend down and help her carry the bag—Zhao Hao had more than a dozen pairs of shoes packed in several large bags, which obviously Ruan Qing couldn't handle in one trip.

Twenty-seven nodded.

He was also curious about how to deal with the daily garbage in such a high floor with several households on one floor. If they were all piled up, wouldn't the corridor stink to death? But now it was obvious that the corridor was not as clean as he thought.

Across a thousand years, he had to be taught every detail step by step.

After returning home and changing her shoes, Ruan Qing pulled Nian Qi to the kitchen before the takeaway arrived: "First of all, let me tell you two things that you must pay attention to at home."

Twenty-seven still remembers: "You said in the morning that you can't touch it."

Twenty-seven learned how to light a fire and nodded: "This is very convenient."

"Yes. Electricity and lightning are the same thing. If a person's body touches it, it is equivalent to being struck by lightning." She held the plugs and taught him, "The human body, metal and water conduct electricity. So you see, only plugs There is metal exposed here, and the wires inside are copper wires, which are covered by the outer layer. This layer is insulated and cannot be penetrated by electricity, so when plugging or unplugging the wires, be sure not to touch the metal with your hands. Don't touch anything with wet hands. If there is a leakage, you will be electrocuted."

He now understands that the man named Zhao Hao is Ruan Qing's lover, well, his former lover.

"This is the stairwell. It can lead to every floor." Ruan Qing told him, "Usually it's convenient to take the elevator up and down, but if there's a power outage or there's a fire, just take the stairs."

The first thing is natural gas. I didn't have time to teach him in the morning, so I will teach him now.

Turning the fire on and off is of course very simple, even a primary school student can learn it. The focus is safety education.

But if Ruan Qing wanted to buy him a new one, Twenty-Seven would not refuse and smiled and said thank you.

Ruan Qing took him to check out the garbage room: "The garbage is placed here, and a cleaner will come to collect it every day."

"Where to throw it?" Twenty-seven asked.

It's very verbose, but it's not annoying at 27:1.

It was a shocking adventure for him to travel to a world a thousand years later, and he had to learn everything from scratch. For a person like him who licks blood with a knife tip, his head is often missing due to carelessness, so he pays great attention to all details and studies very seriously.

Ruan Qing is very satisfied with his attitude towards learning.

The takeaway arrived at this time. Ruan Qing opened the door and took it into the house: "Let's eat."

She ordered three dishes. Because men can usually eat, when she and Zhao Hao were together, Zhao Hao couldn't eat enough if she ate less.

Considering the difference in taste, she ordered conservatively, with only one dish being spicy.

She pointed to the dish specifically and told Twenty-Seven, "This one is spicy."

Then he asked, "Did you have spicy food at that time? Did you rely on dogwood to make it spicy?"

"There are ginger spicy ones, mustard spicy ones, and dogwood spicy ones. I usually eat spicy food with spicy feet." Twenty-seven observed it and was curious, "What is the difference between this spicy one? What is this red thing?"

He took a taste and his expression suddenly became subtle.

Ruan Qing held back her laughter, quickly went to the refrigerator to get two cans of Coke, and gave him one: "Quickly, ice Coke will relieve the spiciness."

Twenty-seven took a sip and was speechless: "This is really spicy!"

Ruan Qing told him: "This chili pepper was introduced to China about six or seven hundred years later than you." "In addition to the development of technology, there are also many food varieties and seasonings that were introduced to China hundreds of years ago." Don’t worry, we’ll eat them all in the future.”

Twenty-seven smiled and said: "Okay."

Although it was spicy once just now, he couldn't help but put his chopsticks to that spicy dish again. If you are mentally prepared this time, you won't be surprised. What's more, there's ice coke to relieve the spiciness.

So Ruan Qing watched helplessly as the spicy dish was destroyed faster than the other two dishes.

It's pretty good, it means I can have a piece of it when I eat in the future.

After dinner, Ruan Qing packed the lunch box, and Nianqi asked: "Where is the tablecloth?"

Ruan Qing gave him a disposable rag: "It's disposable, you can throw it away after use."

Twenty-seven asked: "Many things are thrown away after use. Do other people do the same?"

"Absolutely." Ruan Qing said, "Disposable rags are not necessarily disposable. Many people still use ordinary rags or old towels or old clothes as rags. I just find it troublesome. It saves trouble to just throw them away after use. But many other disposable rags are used as rags. Yes, paper towels, paper cups, etc. are basically available in most urban households.”

Twenty-seven added: "There are also Coke cans and snack bags. They look like they cannot be reused."

He thought for a while and said, "Doesn't that whole building produce a huge amount of garbage every day? There are several buildings in this big yard alone. There are thousands of buildings in a city, and the garbage every day... "

After thinking about this amount, I took a breath and didn't dare to think about it any more.

"Absolutely." Ruan Qing laughed. "Don't think about it. The removal and disposal of garbage in the city is a matter of the government. As small as a community, it is a matter of the property management company. The people who live here pay property fees to the property management company. , the property management is responsible for cleaning, maintenance, and security, so we don’t need to worry about it ourselves.”

Twenty-seven sighed softly: "Everyone performs his duties."

Ruan Qing joked: "Isn't it much more complicated than when you were working on your own food?"

Twenty-seven said: "It sounds vast and complex, and it looks like it works well."

"That's right." Ruan Qing agreed, "As for individuals, as long as you have money, there is nothing that cannot be solved. You see, if I don't cook, I can order takeout and I will have food. The owner pays the property fee. The property management company keeps the community clean, ensures that thieves and scammers cannot enter the community casually, and manages the vehicles of residents in the community.”

The two of them cooperated and the table was cleared in just a few words. Even when Ruan Qing was about to go out to throw out the trash, Twenty-Seven took the initiative and said, "I'll do it."

This, this is not as enlightening and joyful as living with Zhao Hao!

It makes people feel comfortable.

Twenty-seven (for the first time in my life) came back from throwing out the trash alone and heard a strange sound coming from the study.

I couldn't tell what the sound was, it sounded like a weapon but it was different, but this unheard sound had a cold quality to it. Twenty-seven's heart trembled, and in an instant the person had floated from the entrance to the door of the study.

In the study, Ruan Qing was looking at the computer screen when he suddenly felt something in his peripheral vision. He looked up and said in surprise: "Why don't you make any sound when you walk?"

Seeing that she was fine, Twenty-Seven paused and asked, "What's the noise?"

"Oh, this?" Ruan Qing pointed to the working machine, "This is a printer, used to print text on paper."

She asked again: "It's almost time to have movable type printing over there, right?"

Twenty-seven asked: "What is that?"

Ruan Qing asked: "Then you still do engraving and printing?"

Twenty-seven were surprised: "Aren't all engraved books engravings?"

Well, there may be many things that are different in the parallel timeline. Of course, it may already exist but it is not widely circulated. When something like movable type printing first appeared, it was bound to be limited to a small group of literati and people related to the printing industry.

Ordinary people probably wouldn't care at all.

"In short... the development and development of block printing technology has been developing for a thousand years, and this is what it is!" Ruan Qing explained, "Just like the development and development of horse-drawn carriages, ox-carts, and donkey carts, it has developed into the current automobile."

Twenty-seven nodded: "It seems very different, but in fact the essence remains the same."

He had already walked to the desk and naturally turned his attention to the paper being slowly spit out from the printer slot: "Do you need printing at home?"

After watching TV all morning, Twenty-seven already knew that writing nowadays is arranged horizontally from left to right. Although they were all in simplified Chinese characters, and although they were only scanned at a glance, with Twenty-Seven's sharp eyesight, he could still understand some of the content in just a few seconds.

"Miss Ruan?" He turned his attention to Ruan Qing and asked, "Is this made for me?"

Ruan Qing pinched her copy of the "Modern Learning Plan for the Ancients" which was full of ecstasy, and she was so embarrassed that she started picking at her slippers with her toes!

"Well, right." She explained in a murmur, "Because you have so many things to learn, and I'm afraid that if you miss something, you might make a fool of yourself later when you go out to deal with others, so I'll make a detailed plan."

Twenty-seven stared at her for a long time.

"I asked Miss Ruan last night why she helped me to this point, but Miss Ruan didn't make it clear."

"Miss Ruan, can you elaborate now?"
