Qing Song took out an object that looked like it was made of copper. There was a place to hold it at the top.
The copper was polished very brightly. Perhaps it was because it was relatively warm in the box, but there was a layer of mist on the copper after it was taken out.
Just by looking at it, one could not tell its weight. Anyway, the shape gave a heavy feeling. It was probably about five to six catties of copper.
"Is it heavy?" Zhong Shaojing looked at the object that was about to become his and asked Qing Song.
"No. Without adding kerosene, this lamp is ten taels. Including this glass cover. "
Li Yi introduced the weight. Ten taels was more than 400 grams. It was a relatively large kerosene lamp.
Just now, everyone was envious when they saw the glass window. Now, they saw a lamp without oil with a transparent glass cover. They were envious.
They all knew about glass. The first batch of light bulbs that Li Yi sold was a complete failure. No one came to exchange them. Instead, they kept them.
So far, there were only three places that could use glass. Six Li Village, Imperial City, and Li Family Zhuangzi.
Some people wanted to spend a lot of money to buy glass, but Li Yi did not sell it.
"If you buy this lamp without oil, you can get a glass bottle?"
The association member who had just praised Li Yi's poem spoke again. It seemed like he had a high status in the association.
"It uses kerosene, coal, charcoal, and that coal. If you want to buy it, it is 100 taels. The first time you buy it, you will get a tube of kerosene.
You can use this lamp to burn … a small fire can burn for 100 hours. In two hours, you can burn about 40 milliliters. "
Li Yi introduced the price and how long the kerosene could be used. The duration of the kerosene depended on how long the cotton core was stuck out.
If you sell one, you will get 4,000 milliliters of kerosene. The purity was not very high. It was less than 0.8%.
"President Zhong, put it here. Put some salt, or it will emit black smoke. Then, use this place to adjust the length of the cotton core."
Li Yi dismantled the kerosene lamp and explained how to use it to the new owner.
His kerosene lamp could not be suppressed, but it could be suppressed.
However, if it could be suppressed, it would be like a blowtorch.
If Tubo were to learn from him, he would be able to barely fly a hot air balloon with 85% alcohol.
Li Yi explained once, took out kerosene, and taught Zhong Shaojing step by step how to add it to the lamp. He then lit it on the long stick.
The flame jumped up in the glass cover. With the cover blocking the wind, the flame swayed very little.
If it was suppressed, its wind resistance would be even stronger.
"No, oh, coal as in coal. How much does it cost to buy the kerosene?"
Zhong Shaojing knew what it meant. It was the same as lighter, floral water, and glycerin.
Only by taking the items from the outside could they purchase the items inside.
"Ten grams per tube and 100 RMB per cotton strip." Li Yi gave the price.
"Burning a hundred coins in two hours?" The people behind him were shocked. How much oil could a hundred coins buy?
Buying a lamp like this would cost a hundred coins, and burning it for two hours would cost a hundred coins. Was this something for humans to use?
Zhong Shaojing was also anxious. It was too expensive. How many words would he have to sell before he could light the lamp?
This lamp looked brighter than other candles and oil lamps. When it was lit, it was a matter of face.
He carried the burning kerosene lamp and walked. Li Yi said that the kerosene inside was extra.
He wanted to see how long it could burn and whether it would be bright during the day.
The group of people arrived at the garden and found a shed by the river.
When they entered the shed, there were positions in the shed, and each position had a kerosene lamp.
It did not feel that cold anymore. There was no ice on the water, and there was a little ice at the edge. Obviously, it had been chiseled.
A small boat floated steadily on the water. It floated for a while and reached the edge of the shed. Someone was treading on a waterwheel.
The waterwheel was a chain. When the small boat touched it, it was hooked and slowly rose.
When it reached the top, the small boat came to the slide again. It slid down and continued to float in the water.
However, at the bottom of the slide, the farmer placed a wine goblet. In the goblet was warm wine.
More than a hundred people were delighted. It was fun.
There was still water flowing in the winter, and it was a wonderful idea.
Everyone was satisfied because the gift bags were given to them first.
Each person received a basket. The baskets contained the first batch of cucumbers, eggplants, and cowpeas.
Other than the vegetables, there was also rice paper, a box of ink sticks with gold lacquer, an inkstone made of an unknown stone, and a set of brushes made of weasel hair.
A set of the four treasures of the study added up to at least 50 liang. At least, that was what they thought.
There was no need to mention the lighter, toilet water, glycerin, soap, and sanitary napkins. They were all placed in a big box.
The people from the Calligraphy Association evaluated the prices themselves. According to the prices, it was more than 100 liang.
The most important thing was that there was money. No, it was exchange coupons. They were all 1 liang for 10.
They looked at Zhong Shaojing with a look of worship.
Zhong Shaojing was proud. Aiya, Li Yi was too good at doing things. The people he brought were all given benefits. His exchange coupons were … 500 liang.
There were even officials who said that Li Yi was always scheming behind his back. A group of envious people. Li Yi, this young man, was so good.
When Zhong Shaojing looked at Li Yi again, he found him pleasing to the eye.
"Everyone, please continue with the meeting. I still have some small matters to deal with." Li Yi excused himself and didn't want to play with them.
He, a Dongzhu from Zhuangzi, would steal Zhong Shaojing's limelight.
At noon, the farmers sent alcohol stoves and other small boats. The boats were filled with food, just like the buffet in Heaven on Earth.
Zhong Shaojing didn't eat. He was invited to the cafeteria.
"President Zhong is here. Look, I really can't leave. Recently, I've been busy compiling a new dictionary. It's the Erya type."
Li Yi looked apologetic. At the same time, he used his eyes to signal the other party to look at the table.
There were a few books on the table, as well as the four treasures of the study.
"Dictionary?" Zhong Shaojing was naturally puzzled.
"Yes, many words need to be re-standardized, including the meaning and word combinations. This is something that will benefit the world."
Li Yi shook his head. He was gratified and distressed at the same time.
Tang Yun's Qianyin and pinyin were written on the paper.
Pinyin can spell out all the sounds. The Mandarin that Li Yi learned has four sounds: Ping Sheng, Shang Sheng, Qu Sheng and Ru Sheng.
Currently, there are four tones and eight tones, but it can also be changed. Usually, four tones and four tones are also used.
How do you spell pinyin?
For example, the Chinese pinyin was Yi, one sound.
If it was Tang Yin, it would be 'qit'.
In the Chaozhou dialect, it was zēg8. The small symbol on the top was' i 'in front of' e ', which represented' ie '. The' 8 'at the back was the last note of the eighth tone.
In Cantonese, the first three letters were read and spelled together. The "1" at the back referred to the yin level of the eight tones.
Yin Ping, Yang Ping, Yin Shang, Yang Shang, Yin Qu, Yang Qu, Yin Qu, Yin Qu, Yin Qu, Yin Qu, Yang Qu.
When Li Yi spoke back then, the dialects from all over the world could reflect four tones and eight tones.
Including Cantonese, Min Nan, Chongqing, Chengdu, Shaanxi, Northeast, and so on. The dialects of any place had other tones.
If an ordinary person sang the song "To Whom Lovesickness Is Bestowed", they would find that the tune was wrong. Why couldn't they get stuck in that tone?
That was because the tune used in this song was operatic, Kun Opera. At the same time, one could also find the same feeling when listening to the Jingyun Da Gu.
Generally speaking, when one said that singing was not in tune, it referred to the melody.
What was really out of tune was that the notes sounded awkward, and it was a mixture of four tones and eight tones.
