"Young master, do you want to take a bath now? Xiao Xi will boil some water for you."
After dinner, Xiao Xi looked at Li Zexuan and asked.
As the workshop often required the workers to work overtime, there were a few "staff dormitories" in the workshop. Those who worked overtime too late and couldn't go home (Chang 'an City had a curfew) would sleep in the workshop at night. Correspondingly, the kitchen (cafeteria) of the workshop would close very late at night to prepare hot water and supper for the overtime workers. This was a benefit that Li Zexuan prepared for the workers after he took over the workshop.
"No rush, I still have to make some things. Xiao Xi, don't be busy. Go wash up and sleep! I'll go get a bucket of water from the well after I'm done! It's better to use cold water on such a hot day! "
Li Zexuan waved his hand and said.
"Ah! Young master, you can't do that. You'll catch a cold if you bathe in cold water!
Xiao Xi heard him and shook her head like a rattle drum. She was determined to disagree.
"Heh! Your young master has Kung Fu, how would I catch a cold? Little girl, go wash up and go to sleep! I'm going back to work! "
Li Zexuan smiled nonchalantly, then turned around and went straight back to his room.
"Young master! Hmph! "
Xiao Xi stomped her feet in annoyance. The little girl sulked for a while before she got up to clean the dishes!

"Chirp chirp chirp, chirp chirp chirp!"
The night at Drunken Wind Pavilion was very quiet and peaceful. A waning moon hung in the night sky. The sky was filled with sparkling stars. It was like the Milky Way laid on the green sky. A gust of night wind blew and rustled the leaves in the courtyard. It was like the sound of the waves or the call of the pines. Occasionally, the chirping of crickets could be heard from the bushes around the house.
In the "laboratory", Li Zexuan continued to make voltaic batteries. There was no TV to watch, no computer to play, and he couldn't fall asleep so early. It was rare to find a good toy, and he was addicted to it. He wanted to try connecting a few more voltaic batteries in series to see if he could do something.
As the saying goes, 'Unfamiliar the first time, familiar the second time'. In less than two hours, he actually managed to create another eleven volt battery packs. In other words, he could now assemble a 12 volt, 500 milliamperes power supply. It was not easy at all!
"Sigh, I wonder if the archaeologists will be able to guess that this young master came from the modern era when they dig up the voltaic battery that this young master made a thousand years later?"
Li Zexuan looked at the dozen or so batteries on the table and thought to himself, "That's right.
"Oh, right! It seems like there really was someone who made the voltaic battery even earlier. Oh, so this young master isn't the first person to eat crabs? "
Li Zexuan regretfully patted his head, because he suddenly remembered an archaeological news article he saw on the Tianya Forum in his previous life. The general idea was as follows:
"In 1938, Van Wilhelm Konig, an archaeologist working in a museum in Baghdad, Iraq, announced that he had discovered a battery that predated the Voltaic battery by a long time. Konig claimed that this battery was made by the Mesopotamians as early as 200 BC. This "Baghdad" battery was made up of a 14 centimeter tall jar, an iron electrode, and a copper electrode surrounding the iron electrode. The iron electrode was also surrounded by paper soaked in grease to prevent it from coming into contact with the copper electrode. In the jar, Konig also found traces of a mysterious organic substance.
Later, someone made a replica of the Baghdad battery based on the antique. The same electrode material was used, and the electrolyte was vinegar (it was very likely that this material was used at the time). Through the measurement of modern instruments, it was proven that the Baghdad battery could produce one volt of voltage when the current was 10 milliamperes. This device can indeed be used as a battery, but what was the real purpose of the Mesopotamians two thousand years ago? This question has always been an unsolved mystery. "
There had always been some unknown civilizations on Earth, such as the ancient Egyptians and the Mayans. Perhaps the level of their technological civilization at that time had far surpassed the 21st century society.
"Knock knock knock!"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, followed by Xiao Xi's voice.
"Young master? Can I come in? "
Xiao Xi said weakly.
She cleaned up the dishes, took a shower, and stayed in the room alone. She couldn't help but feel afraid because this place wasn't as crowded as the Li Residence. Tonight, there were only her and Li Zexuan in the entire Drunken Wind Pavilion (San Bao naturally went to the "staff dormitory").
"En, come in!"
Li Zexuan's messy thoughts were instantly interrupted by Xiao Xi. He regained his senses and replied.
"Young master, this is ginseng tea. It's cold at night, drink some!"
The summer night was like water, and it was indeed a little cold at night.
Xiao Xi came in and gently placed the tea tray on the table beside Li Zexuan.
Although she was afraid of staying in the room alone, she couldn't possibly run into Li Zexuan's room for no reason, right? This little girl's face was still tender! Thus, Xiao Xi cleverly went to get a cup of ginseng tea and used it as an excuse to run over.
"En, thank you for your hard work!"
Li Zexuan said plainly as he connected the wires.
Although the night was cold, his martial arts foundation was good, and he didn't feel the coldness at all. He didn't need ginseng tea at all! Furthermore, eating too much of this stuff would cause his yang to become stronger. Han Yuxi wasn't married to him yet, so if he became a beast, would he have to settle it himself?
"Young master, what are you doing? Can you tell Xiao Xi? "
Xiao Xi moved a stool and sat beside Li Zexuan as she quickly found a topic to talk about.
If she didn't find a topic to talk about, she could only stay at Li Zexuan's place for a maximum of 15 minutes before she could only return to her room miserably.
"En, I can, but you can't tell anyone ~!"
Li Zexuan raised his head and looked at the maidservant. Xiao Xi had just finished bathing, and there were still a few water droplets on her forehead. Because it was summer, she only wore a thin pink low-cut dress. Li Zexuan was far away, but he could almost feel the temperature of her snow-white skin under the thin shirt.
He glanced at it and quickly lowered his head, pretending to look at the wire in his hand with a serious face. It was the middle of the night, a single man and a single woman. Moreover, she was a young and beautiful little beauty who was about to mature. The atmosphere was too ambiguous.
"En en! Young master, don't worry, Xiao Xi swears to the heavens that I won't tell anyone even if I'm beaten to death! "
When Xiao Xi heard that she had the chance to share Li Zexuan's secret, she instantly felt very excited. The innocent and naive her didn't notice the strange look in her young master's eyes. Perhaps it was because Li Zexuan, this big bad wolf, was better at pretending!
