The firecrackers say goodbye to the old year, always replacing the new peach with the old one.
The atmosphere was warm, the turbulent New Year's Eve, and then until the evening, there were all kinds of things. Even as a son-in-law, these things cannot be avoided. The various visits that Su Tan'er asked Ning Yi to accompany a few years ago were preparations for this period. The visits from each household to each other are indispensable. If it was a relative in the family, Su Tan'er and Ning Yi would go there together. If they went out, they would mostly follow Su Boyong. After all, Su Tan'er had not officially taken over the Su family's big house at this time. A few years ago, they were just talking about business. Su Boyong still had to lead the team for the first imitation of such a symbolic town.
Before the end of the year, Song Mao from Zhizhou who had visited many people back and forth left Jiangning. And because of Song Mao's good words, Ning Yi's status in the Su Mansion was more valued at this time. As for the servants, there was naturally no such thing as a servant bullying the master before, but there were not many people who had to deal with him, and the rest were naturally indifferent. At this time, there were a lot of warm servants. For Yi, it turned out to be dispensable.
As for the owner, the three young masters, four young masters, five young masters, and six young masters obviously have no good eyes on Ning Yi - they used to be indifferent, but now they have to be vigilant. Of course, they couldn't do much, because the old lady obviously paid more attention to Ning Yi. With the exam that Zang took, Ning Yi's weight was obviously too much. The Su family knew the old lady's heart. He always hoped that the Su family could produce more literati and take off the businessman's identity a little.
No matter how rich a businessman is, once something happens, he can't protect himself, he just lets those officials flatten and round. Literati is different, as long as they have fame, no matter how shabby they are, they will always have the ability to speak for themselves. The Wu Dynasty was named after Wu, and it was originally based on Wu. However, at the beginning of the country, there were several major turmoil, and lessons were learned from the above, and the world was governed by scholar-officers. Now it is like the Song Dynasty that Ning Yi knew. Extremely thick, emphasizing text over martial arts.
Since Ning Yi let the old lady see this hope, he was naturally taken more seriously. Especially during the New Year's greetings, the conversation between the old lady and Ning Yi was obviously much longer than that of others, and others were watching. Mainly because the old man wanted to chat with Ning Yi about things like reading, school, etc. Ning Yi also casually said something entertaining and entertaining. The old lady didn't understand these things. These, but he is used to being a family member also has an advantage. He will never point fingers at professionals. After listening to it happily, he will only say: "If anyone is disobedient, feel free to discipline them. Any kind of discipline will do."
Then he sighed: "Brother Zi'an has a good grandson..." This is Ning Yi's grandfather.
The old lady is now in good health and in good spirits. Although she does not have much control over her grandchildren, she seems to be kind and comfortable, and she is in the same dust as the light, but she has no ambiguity in her control of this family. In today's Su family, no one dared to touch his old man's bad head on such a thing. But if you want to move him, cause Su Tan'er trouble, and demolish the old man's platform, I'm afraid it's rare.
However, even though the school has been suspended now, when I meet Su Chonghua occasionally, I can feel a little bit of vigilance in the other party's eyes, which makes Ning Yi feel a little amused.
These are just a few changes he feels. For Ning Yi, he doesn't care too much about these changes. People with a low level can't make waves, and people who roll their eyes will rack their brains. Doing something, I'm afraid it can only make people roll their eyes. In the daytime, I usually run here and there. Occasionally, in the homes of some businessmen who have a cooperative relationship with the Su Mansion, some children who know Ning Yi's reputation will call some reading children to "close and get close" to Ning Yi. This is also well-intentioned, of course. The other party has only read a few poems, and they are making a little trouble.
Ning Yi basically never appeared in the mainstream topic circles in Jiangning after a water tune head came out from the Mid-Autumn Festival. Now the water tune head is still singing every day, and the discussion about him has basically lost its popularity. Speaking of it, this guy is 20 years old this year. He is the son-in-law of the Su family. He teaches at the humble Yushan Academy. Although his ordinary life is strange, at most he can be said to be a eccentric person.
The literati with long sleeves and good dance may become famous faster, and there are many otaku-type literati who are not good at this, but it is rare that the word like the other side is amazing.
Since the conversation that night, the relationship with Su Tan'er has become much closer. In the past, Su Taner treated Ning Yi like a nerd, always trying to dominate the situation. After the initial "understanding" of Ning Yi, she relaxed a lot. Both of them were "weird people". She felt very satisfied with this understanding, mainly because Ning Yi didn't mind her showing up for business, and occasionally talked to Ning Yi. When talking about some merchants, she was more casual, and sometimes raised some problems. Then she talked to Ning Yi about her solution, and asked, "What do you think about the husband?" Of course, it was more to satisfy her desire to communicate and express. . After all, there are too few people who can understand and accept her. Even if they can talk to Xiaochan and others occasionally, it is no different from talking to themselves. They can talk about business with people like Ning Yi who have nothing to do with business. , for her, it is naturally a good relaxation.
Ning Yi naturally sneered a few words, or showed some admiration. Su Tan'er felt satisfied. This desire to express has nothing to do with the level of ability. No matter how high the ability is, people will occasionally feel bored. I hope that at least one person can know what they are thinking, and this person is best irrelevant. This is the same way of decompression as digging a hole in the suburbs, burying the hole after telling the secret in your heart.
Of course, most of the exchanges are completely irrelevant gossip. When I go back in the evening, eat, tell stories, and play backgammon, Su Taner, who originally thought that Ning Yi's stories were a bit of a joke, now sounds purely in a relaxed mood. Occasionally Ask Ning Yi to say a few more paragraphs, or play Gobang to show off a few words proudly. In fact, Xiaochan is the most talented and won the most when playing Gobang. And Ning Yi is the most difficult to deal with. If he is serious, he will never be busy winning chess. As long as the opponent has two chess pieces placed together, he will immediately block, and keep blocking until the opponent feels aggrieved. After putting up a large piece, he launched a counterattack while the opponent was not paying attention.
His style of playing chess is the most unbearable for the three little girls. In the warm room at night, occasionally there will be protests from Chan'er, Juan'er, and Xing'er: "Uncle is too shameless." Su Tan'er She has the strongest learning ability, and is also not short of patience. She pursed her lips and blocked Ning Yi boringly to see who could endure the longest. Once the two of them filled the entire Go board and played a draw. Three little girls whispered beside them, saying that the uncle and the young lady were transformed from monsters. After two days of this situation, Ning Yi smiled helplessly: "Why do you and I kill each other like this..." Su Tan'er, who had a serious face blocking chess pieces, finally couldn't help but pursed her lips and laughed, and then smiled again. Block Ning Yi's pieces.
Since then, the two have developed some tacit understanding, and they no longer use this pure test of patience when playing chess with each other.
Su Tan'er occasionally asked what Ning Yi was going to do, and Ning Yi often made a gesture: "Here, we need to make a cylinder of iron and put it upright... You can pour water here to cool it... But you need to resist Strong acid, I also have to increase the concentration of sulfuric acid, er, that is, urethane water. The problem is that it is difficult for me to increase it without a container that is resistant to strong acid. It becomes a chicken-and-egg question... but it's not easy to make glass... uh, do you understand?"
Since she wanted to ask, Ning Yi didn't care, just said it casually. Su Tan'er just asked casually. At this time, she was stunned for a moment: "Uh... Xianggong... What exactly do you want to do?"
"Oh, what to eat, if you want to think about it specifically... It's probably about the same as salt. Well, kelp soup, kelp soup tastes good, right? We boil 100 catties of kelp into soup, filter, and dry the water. , you can probably get a little bit of the same thing as salt, but the purity is not high, but if you put it in the dish, it will taste very good... Well, this is it."
"Uh... kelp soup... I use the essence of 100 catties of kelp to cook... How many dishes can I make?"
"A bowl of vegetables should be fine." Ning Yi blinked, "So the consumption is too much, I want to make it in another way."
"...Oh." Su Tan'er nodded, dragging her face with one hand, looking like a pain in the egg—no, a toothache. If you make something casually, it can be equivalent to the essence of 100 catties of kelp, it sounds very powerful, but... kelp soup is not necessarily so delicious...
"Xiang Gong is a weirdo..." In the end, she honestly expressed her thoughts.
What Ning Yi wanted to do was MSG.
He had previous experience in this area, at least for the modern industrial process of MSG production, but honestly, it made no sense. Strong acid-resistant containers, fermentation enzymes, bacteria cultivation, crystal cultivation, freezing, temperature control... These things are very simple after a thousand years, but in the Wu Dynasty, they were just nonsense, but in addition to knowing the most modern production process In addition, we only know the history of monosodium glutamate purification from kelp soup. The span in between is completely unknown to the original simple industrial production method. If he wants to make sodium glutamate step by step, he first has to lead half of the industrial revolution.
Of course, it's not his character to sit still. MSG is something he has to try anyway. In the past few months, he has drawn a basic flow chart. When he is bored, he thinks about alternative methods. He has been in various markets in Jiangning a few years ago. Walk around, measure the development of the world, and even find books such as "Mengxi Bi Tan" for research.
In any case, as he and Su Taner said, this is indeed the concept of having fun when there is nothing to do. He does not expect results in a few years, and naturally he will not find a team to do something. When things come out, the appearance of countless derivative products in the middle can be of great or small significance. At present, it is enough to do basic research. In addition to these things, he couldn't find too many interesting goals to do in this era.
However, there are other things that he is interested in, or that he is even more interested in than MSG.
Learn martial arts.
On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he went out with Su Tan'er and others. For the first time, he met the legendary real martial arts master. Although it was not as tall as in the TV movie, it was indeed quite tall...
