This is very embarrassing, and it goes back to Ruan Qing's secondary school dreams of traveling back in time, making glass, making gunpowder, making soap, smelting steel, doing business all over the world, and becoming an empress.
Ruan Qing rubbed his neck and tried to describe himself in a more dignified manner: "...I have always dreamed of going back to ancient times since I was a student, using modern technology and ideas to change the backward productivity of ancient times, improve the living standards of ordinary people, and transform the social system. To change the tragic fate of many poor people, especially women. Of course, when I grew up, I realized that this was just a daydream. Even now, although you have crossed over in reverse, it is still impossible for me to cross over.
"Even so, since God allowed me to meet you, maybe it's to make you the substitute for my dream."
Twenty-seven is not very understanding of this dream of "going back" through time travel: "For me, I definitely don't want to go back to Daqin. I can't even eat the cold food I like to eat. What's the good thing?"
Ruan Qing said plausibly: "Then if you go back and open a lengtao shop and sell lengtao, wouldn't you not only be able to eat it yourself, but also make a lot of money?"
Twenty-seven understood the essence of it immediately: "So, are you using new and novel things that have not yet appeared to make money from the ancients?"
"Ahem." Ruan Qing emphasized, "But in this process, the ancients also benefited."
"It's indeed a good way to make money." Twenty-seven rubbed his chin in thought.
His chin is angular, his fingers have distinct joints, and his long index finger presses the corner of his lips diagonally...
If Ruan Qing had an Adam's apple, he would probably feel like "the Adam's apple can't help but roll" described in the novel at this time.
"My job is relatively flexible, and I don't have to work in the company on a daily basis. I mainly talk with customers, produce drawings on time, supervise construction, etc." She introduced her work to the ancients simply and clearly, "So I am responsible for the company, home, and projects. I travel to three places on site, and sometimes I have to go to the place designated by the customer to meet the customer.”
"Standstill is called a photo, and taking a picture with a camera is a photo." Ruan Qing taught him, "Things that are continuous and moving are called recording, and they are also called videos. They use the video recording function."
Oh my god, why is he so photogenic!
It can be seen that she earns well, otherwise how would she have the money to support a man. It sounds like a decent living, much better than selling wine as a bartender.
She pointed to the ceiling: "Look at this house. When it was built, it was a rough house. It was just bricks and mud tiles. It is definitely not what it is now. It must be renovated before people can live in it. My job is to design and transform a house into a rough one." What style of decoration, what aesthetics, um... To put it simply, for example, the floor, the ceiling, the shape of the corners, the arrangement of the lights... these are all designed by the designer, and then the construction team works."
"Our company specializes in high-end projects, mostly luxury homes and villas, and we make pretty good profits."
"I'm a designer," Ruan Qing said, "a designer who does interior decoration design."
Last night Ruan Qing used "men and women are equal, receive the same education, work and make money" to bombard him. He was actually curious about what Ruan Qing did.
"Oh," she patted the computer, "this is a computer. It can do a lot of things. Most of my work is done on the computer."
"In fact, women even move bricks on construction sites," Ruan Qing said. "Times have changed. Except for some jobs with particularly extreme conditions, most jobs can be done by both men and women."
She has the looks of a celebrity, and at worst, she has the looks of an Internet celebrity!
He is obviously an ancient man.
This flirtation was frozen on the screen of the mobile phone.
It’s just that everyone’s understanding of things cannot break through the scope of existing knowledge. All twenty-seven could think of was working as a coward selling wine, being a weaver in a cloth workshop, an embroidery lady in an embroidery workshop, a hair-combing lady, a stove lady, or even selling snacks along the street with a basket on her back.
Mentioning this, Twenty-Seven became curious: "What does Miss Ruan do for a living?"
"...?" Twenty-seven raised his eyelids.
Ruan Qing's energy, speaking momentum and attitude don't look like him.
Because that was all a woman could do in his time. There are others, either as slaves or maids, or as prostitutes in brothels.
Twenty-seven walked over to look at it with a question mark, and said, "So it turns out that mobile phones can also retain people's shadows like a TV?"
Twenty-seven asked: "Can all women do such work?"
"Don't move." She raised her phone and pointed it at Twenty-Seven.
"The functions of mobile phones are much more complicated than those of TVs. It can be understood that the functions of mobile phones include the functions of TV. Nowadays, mobile phones are just like miniature portable computers."
She crossed her chest and said, "You have to adapt."
His tone was that of an elder. After all, you are standing on the shoulders of many giants over the past thousand years and looking down at this ancient man, and you have a strong sense of psychological superiority.
Twenty-seven nodded and made a serious promise: "I will learn everything you ask me to learn."
He was given several pages of plans. The paper was as white as snow, with sharp corners and small fonts neatly arranged, showing the care taken.
He's obviously just a stranger.
How can I live up to this heart
Ruan Qing liked his attitude.
Although she had said before that she would not ask about the injuries on Twenty-Qi's body or the blood on the knife, she was still curious after all. Taking advantage of the conversation, she asked: "What about you, what do you do?"
Her eyes were bright.
The two people looked at each other for a few seconds, and Twenty-seven said without changing his face: "You know how to do some boxing and kicking, and you can earn money by working hard with others."
The coolie's body was injured and bloody. It seemed he didn't want to talk about it. "Okay." Ruan Qing did not force him. He shook the "plan" in his hand and said, "I have already thought about it, 'If you want to complete your work, you must first sharpen your tools.' Let's start with Pinyin. "
Once you learn Pinyin, it will be easier to recognize characters. The most important thing is that you can use a computer to input. Although she will teach him a lot of things, the gap between a thousand years is too big, and there are too many things in every aspect that she may not even think of. If he can use a computer himself, he can always look up things he doesn't understand online.
"Let's go to the living room."
She took Twenty-Seven back to the living room, briefly told him what Pinyin was, and used her mobile phone to project the screen to the TV: "This is for our children here to learn, so you can learn it from the beginning."
What is projected on the screen is a cartoon for kindergarten children to learn Pinyin.
"Learn Pinyin and you can learn many things by yourself." Ruan Qing began to draw a pie. "And you can use computers and mobile phones to look up anything you don't understand."
This sounds very tempting.
Twenty-seven promised that he would study hard.
Afraid that he would be embarrassed, Ruan Qing decided to hide in the study: "I happen to have some work at hand that I haven't finished yet. You learn from you and I'll do mine."
Twenty-seven said, "Go ahead."
The cartoon was very childish, but Twenty-seven didn't find it annoying.
He believed that Ruan Qing's thinking was very correct, and it looked like the thinking of someone who had read the book.
If someone is illiterate and has never read a book, he will probably be taught "This is the table, this is the bowl." People who have read books know that they should start with literacy. Only by mastering the tools can they have the ability to continue learning and expanding.
He is now living under someone else's roof. If he wants to gain a foothold in this world a thousand years from now, he needs Ruan Qing's help, but that doesn't mean he wants to rely on Ruan Qing all the time.
The cartoon was divided into several episodes. Each episode only taught a few pinyin letters. Each episode did not exceed ten minutes and was automatically broadcast continuously.
Twenty-seven had finished studying three episodes and was studying the fourth episode when someone knocked on the door.
As soon as he stood up, Ruan Qing was already running out of the study in his slippers: "I'll come, I'll come."
Twenty-seven didn't sit down, he stood there looking at the door. But when the door opened, no one came in. I only heard Ruan Qing say "thank you" and saw her coming in with a plastic bag.
It’s just like picking up takeout at noon, except the items are different.
Ruan Qing opened the plastic bag, took out something rolled into a tube, cut the plastic rope and unfolded it, revealing a large piece of hard paper with a lot of gaudiness.
All printed are pinyin letters.
"Is this for me?" Nianqi understood immediately.
Ruan Qing said: "You press it and try."
Twenty-seven pressed "a" as instructed, and the piece of paper suddenly made a harsh "ah-" sound.
Twenty-seven: "..."
Twenty-seven pressed "o" again, and the piece of paper made a sharp sound: "Wo-"
Ruan Qing was very satisfied: "Is it easy to use? This is for you."
There is also a set of pinyin cards that look like playing cards, a pen and a notebook.
Twenty-seven answered, but paused.
Ruan Qing saw it and said directly: "What do you want to ask? You are in a special situation. If you have any questions, just ask them directly. I will answer them at any time."
Twenty-seven asked directly: "Did you ask the waiter in the store to deliver it? Lunch, too. Did you call that number? I didn't hear you call."
The world is different from what it was thousands of years ago. Thousands of years ago, there were food delivery services, but they required people to do errands. Send a servant or someone who specializes in errands to pass the message in advance. The people in the store will take the order and then send someone to deliver it.
In this world, there are extremely convenient things like "telephone". Twenty-seven can imagine that ordering food delivery can be simplified to the level of a phone call.
But the strange thing is that he didn't hear Ruan Qing call.
It might be said that she had ordered lunch long before she came back, but she came back in such a hurry, so she probably wouldn't have been able to think of ordering it so calmly.
Ruan Qing understood where his confusion lay.
"Your idea is very logical. However, the era of telephones has passed, and now is the era of network information." She took out her mobile phone and shook it. "You didn't see that besides the icons for making calls and taking pictures, Are there so many small icons? Each one has a different function. Look at this, this blue one, this is an APP specifically for ordering takeout. I don’t need to make a call, I just need to operate it. "
"So why do you start learning Pinyin? Because learning Pinyin not only makes it easier to recognize words, but also learns the Pinyin input method. Once you master this, you can do many, many things with your mobile phone."
"Come on, old man."
