Chapter 292: Word Grouping with Chinese Characters - Etymology
Jiang Ze finally managed to trick the people into working, and then he hurried back to make a phone call.
Siming looked at the phone the butler handed him: "Xiao Ze."
"Commander-in-Chief, the seedlings have grown a lot taller in just one day. It's almost like forcing things to grow faster." Jiang Ze felt worried.
"What did you tell the people?" Siming had a headache. This girl must have done something yesterday.
"I said this land is blessed by gods, so nothing will be strange no matter what happens." Jiang Ze can only bring out gods to save the situation now.
"That's a good thing to say. I also think that this land is blessed by the gods. Whatever happens in the future will be normal. Don't you think so?" Sima Ming asked with a smile.
Jiang Ze tightened his grip on the phone, then relaxed and said with a smile, "Yes, I know what to do."
"What happened?" Several people from the Si family did not go out today. They sat in the living room to discuss the time to build the factory.
"The seedlings outside the city have grown a lot taller." Siming said while sitting on the sofa and looking at several people.
After hearing this, several people breathed a sigh of relief and said in unison, "It's better not to grow overnight."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the living room laughed.
Madam Si smiled and shook her head: "As long as it doesn't grow up overnight, we still have room to maneuver."
"It grew up overnight. I'm afraid there's no way other places wouldn't know about it." Si Tian's heart was really in his throat.
"Although we tell the people that it's the protection of the gods, it's still something illusory, so we still have to find a more reliable explanation."
Siming doesn't think that everyone will believe this statement. He is afraid that many people will come to inquire about it in the next few days.
"A Ming, what if it was the fertilizer sold to us by foreigners?" Si Ning said to the few people.
"This is a good idea. As for whose fertilizer they bought it from and from whom, we can just make it up. They won't dare to offend foreigners anyway." Si Tian agreed with Si Ning's idea.
"I suddenly don't hate foreigners so much anymore." Miao Jiu lowered his head and blew the tea in his hand.
Everyone in the living room laughed.
Si Ming looked at Si Tian: "Ah Tian, have you dealt with everything on Peter's side?"
"It's been dealt with. Jiang Shui has learned how to repair it, and they are ready to set off back." Si Tian quite likes this foreign friend.
"Let's go to the restaurant and reserve a table so we can see them off." Although Siming didn't know who to buy western medicine from in the future.
But for him, it is still worth cherishing to meet a good foreign friend.
"Okay, I'll ask someone to make the reservation later. Do you want to invite them tonight?" Si Tian asked for everyone's opinions.
"Tomorrow! We also need to prepare some gifts." Madam Si said after thinking for a while.
"By the way, Pete wants to take some of our local specialties back to sell, and I have already agreed." Si Tian talked about Pete's idea.
"What does he need?" Miao Jiu looked at him and asked.
"Silk, tea, flower dew from my eldest sister's workshop, vanishing cream, and that medicinal powder, some jewelry in the store, and so on."
"There are quite a lot of things needed, and in quite a lot of quantity." Si Tian gave a brief account of what was needed.
"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have remembered that there's something I want to ask you. This medicine powder has to have a name. It can't just be called medicine powder!"
Si Ning then talked about the medicinal powder that he was going to sell.
The whole family started to have a dilemma again, not knowing what to name the child.
Just when everyone was wondering how to name their children, the two children's cultural classes for the day had already ended.
Siming stood up to see Yan Anqing out, and mentioned that they were going to the valley, and asked him if he wanted to take his wife with him.
Yan Anqing thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "We haven't been out for a walk for many years. We will go with you when the time comes."
"Okay, I'll have someone pick you up and meet us at the dock." Siming said as he walked him out the door.
Juanjuan and Achen will have martial arts lessons later, but they can take a break now as Chu Zhaoning has not arrived yet.
"Uncle, aunt, why are you all frowning?" Juanjuan looked at them with confusion.
"We want to give the medicine powder a nice name, but we don't know what to call it." Si Ning looked at her and explained.
"Juanjuan has a way." Juanjuan said and ran away with Si Jinchen.
Si Jinchen was pulled into the study by her: "Juanjuan, what do you have in mind?"
"Brother, please help Juanjuan get the "Ciyuan"!" Juanjuan pointed to the book they used to learn to read on the table.
"There's no naming method here!" Although Si Jinchen had some doubts, he still helped her take down the dictionary.
When the two children returned to the living room, Sima Ming also came back.
Seeing them coming back with Ciyuan, he asked in confusion, "Is there a name on it?"
Juanjuan pushed the book in front of Si Ning: "Aunt, just flip through two pages and use the first character as your name!"
Si Ning looked at Ciyuan in front of him and felt a little amused. Is it possible to give a name like this?
But it’s quite interesting to think about it: “Then I can just flip it randomly!”
"Give it a try! I think it's quite interesting, better than anything we can think of even if we rack our brains here." Miao Jiu handed Ciyuan to her.
Si Ning placed Ciyuan on his lap, looked at the expectant eyes around him, and tried to randomly turn a page.
The first word at the beginning is noodles.
When they saw the first word, everyone except the two little ones started to form words for the noodles in their minds.
flour?
Dough?
Noodles?
It doesn't feel like something you use on your face, it feels more like something you eat.
"Achen, Juanjuan, it's time for martial arts class." Chu Zhaoning came to the yard, but didn't see the two children, so he could only shout outside.
"Dad, grandma, let's go to class." The two children got up and ran outside without waiting for the second word.
Chu Zhaoning saw Siming there and saluted him while standing outside.
Si Ming looked at him and nodded slightly, then lowered his head to look at Si Ning again.
"I'm a little afraid to translate the second word." Si Ning was afraid that if the word was not good, should he use it or not?
If I don’t use it, I will hurt Juanjuan’s feelings. If I use it, I’m afraid no one else will recognize it.
Miao Jiu put his arm around her shoulders and said, "If it's not good, we can just turn it over again. Anyway, this girl is going to martial arts class now."
Si Ning thought about it and boldly opened the page with the second word.
When I opened the page for the second time, the first word was membrane.
"Facial mask?" She looked at the few people and read out two words.
"It seems quite appropriate." Old Madam Si went over the two words in her mind.
"Let me try and see if I can translate other words." Si Tian was eager to try.
