The next day, when Li Mengxi woke up naturally from his sleep, he suddenly opened his eyes and saw the familiar yet unfamiliar roof above his head.

The familiar thing is that this roof has wood and grass, rafters and beams, which suddenly reminds Li Mengxi of his childhood, when his family was poor, and it was still a brick house, which leaked rain, was hung with spider webs, and shed dirt.

Li Mengxi has been watching for more than ten years, so he is very familiar with the structure of brick and tile houses.

What's strange is that when he first woke up, Li Mengxi didn't know where he was.

"...Zhuozhou." Li Mengxi opened his eyes and muttered, finally understanding the situation.

Looking aside, I saw that my brother had woken up early and was looking at me with big eyes.

"Little Brick, get up!" Li Mengxi called his brother to get up.

After the two brothers got dressed and got up, the younger brother took Li Mengxi's hand and whispered to Li Mengxi, "Brother, I want to pee."

"Oh." Li Mengxi was pulling his younger brother out of the side room at this time, and coincidentally, a man dressed up came over to greet him.

"Brother, my brother wants to pee, where can he go to the toilet?" Li Mengxi asked the visitor.

In fact, this servant still doesn’t know who Li Mengxi is. When Li Mengxi, Liu Guanzhang and others came back last evening, they saw not many people around Li Mengxi.

Therefore, this servant was told to wait here. Seeing that he was just a little baby, he wanted to be lazy and skip a few steps.

"Just pee next to this tree." The servant casually pointed to a big peach tree in the small yard of the wing.

Li Mengxi was stunned, "Just... right here?"

Li Mengxi was not used to public urination in the hall.

Besides, I'm not really a child.

Li Mengxi asked again several times, but the servant said that just peeing next to a tree would be enough.

Li Mengxi also felt that he couldn't hold it in any longer and didn't want to wait any longer. Seeing that there was no one around, he and his younger brother opened the sluice gate to release the water along with the tree roots.

Sometimes, things just happen to happen.

Liu Bei suddenly came to wake up Li Mengxi and saw the Li Mengxi brothers in such a scene.

Liu Bei couldn't help laughing.

The little kid next to him was peeing against a tree. It wasn't funny, but it was Li Mengxi, a military advisor with profound intelligence and astonishing courage that Liu Bei admired. Liu Bei believed that he was a genius from heaven.

Liu Bei thought how awesome Li Mengxi was. Seeing Li Mengxi peeing on the grass beside the tree like a naughty boy, he had a strong sense of disobedience and drama.

Because of this, Liu Bei couldn't stop laughing, and his good mood for the day began.

When Li Mengxi finished his work, he turned around and saw Liu Bei. He was startled and a little embarrassed.

"Someone said he was looking for a toilet, but the big brother said he peed on a tree. It's not that I don't want to look for a toilet..."

It's okay if he doesn't explain it. Once he explains it, Liu Bei smiles even brighter, "Ha! It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!"

The happier Liu Bei smiles, the less embarrassed Li Mengxi becomes.

How embarrassing. Li Mengxi made up his mind and went to Guan Yu to teach him that once he had taken up a military position, he should show dignity in front of the sergeants. Li Mengxi took it seriously and made up his mind to carry others on his back in the future.

Then, it's breakfast.

When the ancients ate, they would wash their hands and face and tidy up their appearance. Men would also tidy up their appearance.

Li Mengxi saw that Guan Yu's face was buried in a basin of hot water. He "boiled" it for a while before lifting his head out of the basin. Guan Yu's face, which was already red as a jujube, became even redder.

Then, I saw Guan Yu putting his long beard, which reached up to his chest, into a basin of water, washing it carefully for fear of breaking the beard.

Li Mengxi was surprised when he saw it.

Li Mengxi's inherent impression was that these fierce generals in ancient times were not all rough men. He did not expect them to be so refined.

In other words, there was no such thing as conditioner in ancient times. If there was, Guan Yu would have been using conditioner to take care of his beard at this time.

Li Mengxi laughed secretly.

After washing my hands, I helped my brother wash his little hands too.

breakfast.

The ancients generally only had two meals a day. They would get up in the morning, eat one meal, and go to work all day long. If they went back to cook at noon, it would be a delay, so at most they would bring some pancakes or something to deal with it.

Then, I worked again until the evening, when I came back from a busy day and had a quick meal.

Therefore, there are two meals a day, and two meals when you are busy.

When you are free and not working, there is no reason to have three meals. When you are free, there are also two meals.

Breakfast: millet porridge, pancakes, boiled tofu in salt water, and radish strips.

Brother Li Mengxi also had two extra eggs. Li Mengxi saw that Liu Guanzhang didn't have any, and he knew that this was special care.

The younger brother was clumsy in peeling the eggs, but he failed to hold one properly. The half-peeled eggs were lying on the ground. Li Mengxi raised his hand and patted his younger brother's head. This was probably the first time Li Mengxi hit his younger brother. The younger brother felt aggrieved and pursed his lips to cry.

.

Just as the younger brother opened his mouth to cry, Li Mengxi picked up the egg, wiped it on his sleeve, peeled it open and stuffed it into his younger brother's mouth, blocking the cry.

Liu Guanzhang naturally saw this scene and smiled.

The Han Dynasty did not have a shared meal system, but a separate meal system, that is, each person had a low table, and a food plate was placed on the low table, which contained cakes, vegetables, and porridge.

This is good.

Ordinary people are still not full after eating bran-thick vegetables. Now, with two dishes, one soup and eggs, the life of the upper class has improved, and Li Mengxi is not satisfied with anything.

After breakfast in a hurry, a servant came over and brought us the utensils.

"Xi'er, if the county magistrate orders a grain requisition today, how will you respond?"

The day's plan lies in the morning, Liu Bei couldn't wait to ask for the plan.

Li Mengxi frowned and thought for a moment, "If the county magistrate is not here to collect grain today, I expect that he will have to discuss it secretly with the big households in the city first, and then we can see his order tomorrow at the earliest."

"As for today, you can send someone to keep an eye on the county magistrate's movements and report back from time to time."

Li Mengxi’s advice.

Liu Bei nodded, "That's the only way."

Then, Liu Bei asked again, "Xi'er, what did you say about steaming wine last night?"

"Let's go now!" Li Mengxi stood up and said, "I want craftsmen, blacksmiths and potters."

Although Li Mengxi wondered why Liu Bei, an ancient man, cared more about alcohol than himself, a time traveler, he did not think deeply about why.

As soon as he heard about wine, Zhang Fei looked at Li Mengxi, but Li Mengxi didn't pay attention.

——

Watchers were sent out to watch the county magistrate, and craftsmen also came.

The craftsmen who came were an old man and a young man, a blacksmith and a potter.

Seeing the two of them, Li Mengxi bowed his hands politely, and the two craftsmen hurriedly saluted.

After tilting his head and thinking for a moment, Li Mengxi looked around, picked up a stick, and drew on the ground.

"Look, uncle, we need a big clay pot here. The size of the pot doesn't matter, the square doesn't matter, but the mouth of the pot should be as wide as a plate. Then, add water to the plate. If I put a bowl on it, the water will

It can seal the bowl and stop the air, but the water will not flow inside."

After speaking, Li Mengxi raised his head and asked the old man, "Old man, can you explain clearly?"

The old man chuckled and said, "I understand, it's just a large can with a flat mouth and a wider rim."

I understood what the old man said.

Li Mengxi nodded, "Then, I need a lid with a long nose like a spout."

After finishing the painting, Li Mengxi asked, "Do you understand this?"

The old man hesitated and asked, "Do you want to make a clay pot?"

Li Mengxi was stunned for a moment, yes, just use the kettle for the distiller.

Then I thought again, no, the kettle has a small mouth, making it inconvenient to add wine.

Secondly, when steaming, steam kept rising from the top of the kettle lid. The sealing structure of the kettle was not good, and the wine was completely lost during steaming.

Therefore, the kettle can be used to steam wine, but it is not efficient.
