Five days after the departure of the inkers who had gone to the village community, the hut wafted with the rich aroma of fried soybeans.

Creation, and the repetitive work after creation, sometimes the procedure is the same, but the kind of spiritual satisfaction and exhaustion are completely different.

The former is the satisfaction of the soul, and the latter is the exhaustion of helplessness in order to survive.

Because of this difference, these ink artists who work in this small cabin are full of smiles every day.

They feel that they will work with the Fit and the Giant to create a new thing that is great for the world.

This process of creation is voluntary, not that it is difficult to survive without doing so.

Although the exact name of this thing was not yet available at this time, the enthusiasm for creating new things still fills the cabin with a cheerful air.

Stir-fried soybeans are placed in grooves made of stone and wood.

Fill the fried soybeans with disc-like molds, clamp them together, and clip them in with wooden wedges. Hit the wooden wedges with huge stones or striking wood, and squeeze the ripe soybeans that are sandwiched together until the essence of the liquid comes out.

The sturdy man was shirtless, bulging his muscles, and vigorously pushed the ram-like wooden stick made by Mozi and several carpenters, rumbling.

With each impact, the wooden wedge stuck in the ripe soybean struggles to squeeze inside.

The sharp and firm wooden wedges open the space of the ripe soybeans, or in turn they are squeezed by the dense beans until they spill the essence contained in their bodies and surrender.

It is yellowish and smells faintly fishy.

However, once it is heated in a pottery bowl until it boils, it will emit a rich aroma, and if you add some chopped green onions, the taste will be even more delicious.

The ink man who stayed with him to be busy with the five major sacrifices in May only knew that these things were indispensable to deceive those witches who wished that they had "Zhu Rong bloodline can not be afraid of boiling cream".

Animal balm does not melt and float without scalding a person.

However, on the third day, after the first can was squeezed, the heated pottery used to heat the pale yellow liquid and fried some caught grasshoppers, frogs, or bean worms, and ate them with the more than 30 ink people who stayed here, including Gongzaoye, and everyone believed that this was a thing that could benefit the world no less than wheat flour.

These yellowish liquids are very sure that this is called soybean oil.

But the ink artists present did not know this title, and it was difficult to accept it.

At this time, oil does not mean oil in the word "grease".

At first, oil was just an adjective and a special word for a certain river in Chudi, but it gradually developed into a smooth and supple meaning.

For example, the "Mai Xiu" composed by the Korean Jizi when he passed through the former capital of Yin Shang during the tribute. The so-called wheat show is gradually dying, and he millet oil is oily.

At this time, animal oils in the broad sense were subdivided into two types: ointments and fats. Vegetable oil had not yet appeared at this time.

The fat of an animal with horns on its head is called fat; The fat of an animal without horns on its head is called paste.

That's why they are terminally ill, and not fat, because there are no horns on the head; The Mausoleum of the First Emperor recorded in the Qin Benji in the "Historical Records" is also mermaid paste rather than mermaid fat, the same reason.

On the other hand, you can only use the skin like coagulation, but not the skin like coagulation, because pigs and dogs are cheap and cattle and sheep are expensive, and it is not good to say that coagulation cream.

Beef and mutton fat, pig and dog paste, this is absolutely not wrong.

In addition to lipids, the upper class also has a special subdivision of lipids. For example, the familiar word fat, which originally meant a separate word subordinate to fat, meant fat on the loin of an angular animal......

If the word grease is used incorrectly, it will be ridiculed by the upper class.

The lives of the nobles above the level of the real doctor subdivide this distinction to the extreme: in the spring they cook young sheep and pigs with butter, in the summer they cook dried fish and poultry with dog fat, in autumn they cook calves and small animals with chicken fat, and in winter they cook fresh fish and geese with sheep fat.

The four words are all specific. 臊特 refers to dog fat, 膻特 refers to mutton fat, and 香特 refers to butter.

Birds seem to need to use fat but not ointment, because birds have feathers and according to Lilly, the feathers belong to the horns, so they can only be fat and not ointment.

Zhong Ming Ding Food is not a casual sentence, it must have a series of aristocratic etiquette and cultural connotations.

All in all, this kind of oil that has not been named soybean oil that has flowed out at this time is definitely a cheap oil, and it is absolutely unacceptable.

It is not the same as wheat flour. Wheat was originally one of the five grains and was used as a staple food, so changing the eating of wheat did not prevent wheat flour from becoming a favorite food of the upper class.

However, beans have changed from staple food to oil, but they do not fit the four characters of fishy and fragrant, which is absolutely not qualified to enter Dingzhong.

In later generations, before peanuts and sunflower seeds were introduced, soybean oil, radish seed oil, cabbage seed oil, and sesame oil were the best products, and the taste was different from those animal oils.

At this time, these cheap oils fried the bean moth, which had just woken up from the ground and had no food in its stomach, into a fragrant and crispy crisp, filled several large jars, and placed them in front of the ink makers.

A group of ink writers took the soybean meal left over from the soybean oil as the staple food, ate the fried bean worms, and sighed that if people in the world could eat soybean meal and soybean cake every day, it would be a paradise on earth.

Shi grabbed a few fried bean worms, gnawed on the steamed and softened bean cakes, and ate them with relish, although in his opinion it was for feeding livestock, but at this time eating some can be regarded as delicious.

On the side, Xiaosheng and Zao Qisui were arguing, and they felt the lively and speculative atmosphere of the ink artist at this time, and they felt more and more comfortable.

He believes that this thing should be called bean paste. The so-called grease paste is paste, it can be seen that the paste is diluted after blending, this thing is like running water, and what has been diluted can no longer be diluted, so it must be called soybean paste.

Xiaosheng believes that this thing should be called soybean fat. It is well known that the body of the soybean is hairy, and the so-called edamame pod is like this. Since it is hairy, it can be considered that it is the feather of the bean. Feathers are regarded as horns, and horns are called fat, so this is soybean fat rather than soy paste.

These two people are talking like a river, and once they start talking, they can't stop; An alienated and indifferent is like a rainbow that is difficult to appear, but once he speaks, he often hits the nail on the head.

The argument between the two attracted some supporters, who applauded each other, and only let the bird slip do the arbitration to determine who won.

The Mo Scholar is always like this, even if the best debate Debate Fifty-four went to the Chu State, but the atmosphere of the debate on weekdays is not a little less at all, but it has become more and more lively because of the lack of an existence that can suppress everyone.

During the day, everyone had to sweat profusely when they squeezed oil, and when it was time to eat, they regained their strength, and they were fighting one by one.

Mozi ate a few fried bean worms and watched with a smile as these disciples argued, thinking about the methods that Shi proposed that sounded a little terrifying.

These soy paste or soy fat are the so-called scams with the blood of Zhu Rong.

The paste is light and the water is heavy, and the two are insoluble and divided into upper and lower. Vinegar is added underneath and lime is added to produce bubbles when the two are mixed, but the temperature is actually very low, but the fat that floats on it is like a boil.

The reason why animal paste is not used is because it is impossible for animal paste to melt at that temperature.

Mozi felt that he knew one more thing, that is, liquids such as water, once boiling, the temperature would no longer rise. But before boiling, the temperature rises continuously.

This was something he hadn't noticed before, but when Jing Shi said this, he suddenly knew that it was not a lie.

Regarding the usurpation of Wu Zhu, Mozi originally thought that what he was doing was only for this purpose.

But after seeing the cream squeezed out of these soybeans, Mozi understood that this was another thing that benefited the world like wheat flour, and it was by no means as simple as usurping the name of Wuzhu.

At the very least, those few mouthful bean worms prove that this thing can make people live better and eat better.

"After all, Shi is a person who always thinks about benefiting the world."

He commented silently, thinking of his jade carving evaluation under the juniper tree a year ago, and laughed dumbly.

So he waved his hand and called Shi over and asked, "What do you think should be called after listening to the debate between Xiaosheng and Qi Sui?" ”

Shi swallowed the bean cake and bean worm in his mouth, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter what it's called." It's just that I don't like to divide by angular or non-angular points. This is unreasonable, but it is the source. ”

"I'm a man who is more reasonable than well-known, so I don't like that. It's not wrong, it's just useless. It's like separating the nobility from the peasants and businessmen according to the order of blood and birth. This is a division, but some people don't like this division by blood, so why does it make sense? ”

These words made Mozi even more angry, these things are exactly what he has been thinking.

If you talk about it, the person who can really understand the truth in his heart is the most proud person who was the original Gongshang, but unfortunately died early.

Although the bird is smart, he also has the heart to do righteousness, and he has learned everything thoroughly, but when it comes to the same heart, after all, he is still not as good as the deceased Gongshang.

Sometimes, it only takes one sentence to create a sense of confidant that transcends age and status.

Mozi likes to define and wants to define all the origins of the world, just as he defined the circle, force, motion, the propagation of light and the theorem of specular reflection, volume and thickness, etc., which are all concepts that do not exist in the first place.

If you stick to everything you already have, I'm afraid that many things will be difficult to define.

So he just laughed at the debate between Qi Sui and Xiao Sheng, and did not support either side, because he also felt that it was meaningless to define the cream in this way, at least for most people in the world.

And he didn't expect that the words he was thinking in his heart could be completely expressed.

It's not that it's not defined like that, it's that it's useless.

Just as the concept of graphics defined in the original Nine Numbers and the concepts of circles and squares defined by him are not defined according to a mechanism at all: there is nothing wrong with dividing them in the past, but it is useless, it is not beneficial to people, and it can only make people feel troublesome and complicated.

For a long time, Mozi didn't ask what this thing should be called, because it really doesn't matter, just like those names that are used everywhere, it naturally makes sense when it needs to be important, and it is meaningless when it is not important.

So he asked another question.

"If you want to usurp the name of Wu Zhutong, heaven and earth, water and fire, and say that you have the blood of Zhurong, is it just a way to boil with these anointments?"

Shi shook his head and said, "No." Since it is the blood of Zhurong, of course, it can easily ignite firewood and grass. This Zhurong blood is smelted from white bones. Of course, I know that he is not Zhu Rongxue, just a thing, but since he has not been before, there is nothing wrong with calling him Zhu Rongxue. ”

"There is no wish for melting blood in the world, but there are many people who call it, and that thing is wishing for melting blood. This is the difference between origin and name, and Mr. should distinguish it clearly, which is also the most important point in Mohist dialectic, and it is also the cornerstone that can be used to refute the doctrine of the world. ”

"As the gentleman used to say, what is a horse? What is a cow? What is a circle? What is a moment? What is force? What does it mean to move? Why? What is the big reason? What is a small ......?"

"After a few days, the grass silk will be made, and please ask Mr. to summarize the origin of these things for future generations. If this can be completed, the learning of those who want to come to ink will definitely be spread all over the world. ”
