Zhuang Zhou, unemployed at home, unexpectedly obtained a time-space gate that could travel to the Tang Dynasty's Zhenguan era, and could also carry items with him. Thus, Zhuang Zhou embarked on...
"Tangchun?"
Zhuang Zhou smacked his lips twice. This name is indeed a good one!
In fact, Zhuang Zhou didn’t understand.
During the Tang Dynasty, anything related to wine was called spring.
For example, apricot blossom spring and pear blossom spring.
The word "spring" represents wine.
In later generations, it is equivalent to Jiannanchun and Wuliangchun.
Drinking wine in spring is a tradition.
Let’s get over this.
Li Er really likes this wine.
He even had the idea of designating it as the imperial wine.
"Brother Zhuang, do you know how to brew this wine?"
"I don't really have this, but I can still get this wine."
"It's a shame there's no recipe for such a good wine!"
Li Er sighed again.
Not flattering.
But it is a joy from the bottom of my heart.
But without the method of brewing, you can't truly own it.
But if you think about it carefully, this is also the rhetoric of a businessman.
If I tell you the recipe, how can I still earn money for the wine?
Thinking of this, Li Er felt much relieved.
"Okay! Help me get some more next time. I often entertain guests at my house, and having this wine will earn me a lot of face."
"Don't worry! I'll get you a few more bottles next time."
Since you've helped me so much this time, it's no big deal for me to give you a few bottles of Moutai.
However, Zhuang Zhou didn't intend to help for free.
He also has something to trouble the other party with!
"Brother Qin, I'm not familiar with Chang'an. I want to get some good and expensive furniture. Can you think of a way?"
Li Er said without thinking:
"That's easy! What do you want?"
Zhuang Zhou saw this and said:
"It's mainly tables, chairs, benches, screens, study rooms, desks, etc. It would be best if we could get palace furniture."
When the antique shop is renovated, I will take these things back and display them in the shop.
Isn’t that a typical Tang Dynasty style?
And Zhuang Zhou wanted palace furniture.
He had already checked it online.
The palace furniture of the Tang Dynasty is elegant and luxurious.
It is usually made of mahogany, ivory and inlaid with precious gems.
The shape is simple and exquisite.
It is unique among antique furniture.
Every one of these things we bring back will be a great treasure.
Study furniture is also a good thing.
The literati and poets of the Tang Dynasty all paid great attention to the furnishings of their study.
Pay attention to cultural heritage.
So this is also the direction that Zhuang Zhou wants to explore.
"These are simple. I'll have someone get some for you when the time comes."
Li Er also agreed readily.
These things are simply too easy for him.
"Thank you very much!"
After Zhuang Zhou finished speaking, he raised his hand and glanced at the time.
"Wow! It's already 3:30 in the afternoon."
Sure enough, time passes fastest when drinking.
At this time, Li Er's interest was obviously aroused.
In fact, he had long discovered that Zhuang Zhou was carrying a new gadget made of colored glass.
I've always wanted to ask, but never had the chance.
Now I hear Zhuang Zhou talking about 3:30 in the afternoon.
I am even more interested:
"Brother Zhuang, what treasure is that on your hand?"
"Here! This is called a watch. It's used to tell the time."
Zhuang Zhou was also very drunk at this time.
He simply pulled over a stool, leaned against Li Er, took off his watch and handed it to Li Er:
"Come! Brother Qin, take a look!"
Li Er reached out to take it, and Cheng Yaojin also came over.
"Erlang, look, there's an iron needle moving under this glass cover."
As he said that, Li Er turned the watch over again.
I didn't understand what was happening, but the needle was still moving.
"Brother Zhuang, how do you tell the time with this watch?"
Zhuang Zhou took the watch, showed it in one hand, and said with interest:
"See? This one that keeps moving is called the second hand, this one is called the minute hand, and this one is called the hour hand."
"If you divide a day into 24 hours, there are 60 minutes in an hour and 60 seconds in a minute."
"Then one revolution of this second represents one minute."
"One revolution of the minute hand, how much does that represent?"
Li Er thought for a moment and said:
"It represents one hour."
"What about this hour hand turning a circle?"
Cheng Yaojin rushed to answer:
"That means one day!"
Not bad, you can answer this quickly!
“That’s right!”
Zhuang Zhou snapped his fingers and continued:
"Nowadays, time is divided into twelve hours a day. So, one hour is two hours."
"That is to say, one hour represents 120 minutes."
"And this watch of mine can convert the time of day to the minute and second."
"For example, let's take this as noon, which is 12 o'clock in the afternoon, and this as midnight, which is 12 o'clock in the evening."
"This way, as long as I wear this watch, I can always know what time it is. Do you understand?"
Li Er and Cheng Yaojin looked at each other.
They both exclaimed at the same time:
“This watch is so amazing!”
Zhuang Zhou then briefly talked about watches and the concept of modern time.
They even explain why there is an alternation between day and night.
The reason why the four seasons repeat themselves is explained.
This involves the issue of the Earth's rotation and revolution.
But Li Er obviously could not accept this idea.
"Brother Zhuang, are you saying that we are now living on a ball? And this ball is floating?"
