Chapter 2762: Natural Disasters Follow the Rules
"It's too hot today. Why did it only rain twice during the wet season?"
Li Yi, who had taught medicine for the whole morning, set up a tent outside at noon to eat sour soup with water, a Manchu snack. Later, people who crossed the Guandong Pass also learned it.
Made of cornmeal, it is originally a hot soup. How to eat it hot today? Rinse with well water, add egg sauce, and eat it like old Beijing fried noodles.
The second prince sat opposite Li Yi: "Last year, the year before last, and the year before last, there was little rain, corn died of drought, and paddy fields could not be planted."
He looked at the bottom of the pyramid. The team was still queuing, coming to sell slaves and exchange things, and more people came to drink free soup and fetch water.
During the drought, they needed water, and took pottery jars to take water back.
The slaves who were exchanged were responsible for fetching water from the well, and there was no need for pumps, which was fuel-consuming.
Buckets of water were pumped up, pulled to the top, and then poured into the pool built when the pyramid was built. There was a connecting place below, and the statue's mouth would spray water.
There is also a pool below the place where the water is sprayed, and others collect water, or scoop water when there is more water in the pool.
The pool has been cleaned and the well water is cool.
It is said that after this Mayan civilization was destroyed, the post-Maya people in other places who also believed in gods had two wells.
The naturally formed wells, when digging, found many treasures and the bones of a girl.
Legend has it that after the girl was thrown in and died soon, everyone threw stones into the well together. If she was not dead by noon, she would be pulled up and her status would be high.
Li Yi didn't see these two wells, he thought it made sense.
If you throw someone in, if the water level is high, the person will not fall to death, otherwise there is water below, and he will drown, and fall on the water surface and faint.
What to do if the water level is low? The story of the crow drinking water! Throw stones in.
The water level is high, the person is floating there, and he is not dead at a glance, so he pulls him up, okay, let's draw water.
But Li Yi feels that this is fake. Do you need to throw people in to know the water level? Just draw water!
Think about it from another angle. The girl probably fell into the well while fetching water.
Or it's the same as the well in the Tang Dynasty Palace. Ask Xiaolan and she will tell you how there are skeletons in the well.
If you still don't understand, come and look at the well, look down, and lean forward...
"Will they attack us again?" The little girl had extra fried vegetables, just like Princess Yongmu and the others.
She was more worried, and her ears were buzzing when there was a war.
"Give them a hundred guts, are duck eggs salty?" Li Yi saw the little girl picking half a salted duck egg.
The little girl shook her head: "Not salty, I haven't eaten it before, give them a hundred guts. They didn't help us during the war."
She said that those who came to drink free soup and fetch water, others beat us, you run away, and others stop beating you come back.
"When you give benefits to others, don't expect them to give you something in return. In fact, when you give, the other party says thank you, which is already a return.
In fact, they can come back, which is to help us. They use practical actions to show that they stand with us, but they can't beat others.
The more people expect from others, the more disappointed they are. The same is true for heaven and earth."
Li Yi's habit of being a teacher came back again, teaching the little girl.
The little girl showed a blank look in her eyes, and didn't understand.
"Eat, you will know later. Just like reading well, not seeking to understand too much, every time you understand, you will happily forget to eat."
Li Yi continued to teach, remember first, you will understand one day in the future.
"Oh!" The little girl nodded and ate.
Don't worry about whether she will feel uncomfortable in the gastrointestinal tract after eating corn soup, corn is their staple food.
The second prince showed a grateful look, the other party was teaching his children, this kind of knowledge, his first priest had never taught.
The people under the pyramid don't know what the people above are thinking. They need water, and it is relatively close to come here to get water, and the water is good.
They don't know how to dig wells, either natural wells or rivers.
How could they know that the water in the pyramids comes from wells? They thought that it was where the gods were, and water would flow.
This outlet is generally something in architectural engineering. If there is too much rain, it needs to be drained, or if there is too much mountain water, it also needs to be drained.
When the Tang Dynasty built a building, wooden wedges were placed inside. When there was a lot of rain, the soil in the mountains had a high water content, and it would be discharged from the wedges.
Like the dragon head in the Forbidden City spewing water, the Maya also had the same technical means.
Now there is no rain, but it can still spit water, amazing!
There are many wild vegetable leaves in the soup, and there are also bones of animals and birds with meat shaved off, so there is a little oil and water.
The key is that the salt is good. The Maya has salt. For example, the salt in the past of the Tang Dynasty, most of it came from Hedong Road, that is, Yuncheng Salt Lake in Shanxi.
Salt is not good at all, it is bitter and astringent. Now the Tang Dynasty uses it to feed livestock, and people don't eat it.
When Li Yi first arrived in the Tang Dynasty, this salt was good. The key is that it is cheap and close, from Shanxi to Shaanxi, it is next to each other.
Maya's salt is worse than this, and everyone eats it from childhood.
Later, well salt, sun-dried sea salt, various filters, and then buy this kind of salt, one penny to buy a lot, poultry, pigs, horses, cattle and sheep all eat it.
Li Yi gave others soup, it is impossible to put local rock salt, and the sea salt collected at the seaside is purified and filtered.
This salt is not bitter, and the soup tastes fresh.
Everyone comes to make soup and scoop out the dry ones. Everyone knows that it is a talent. UU reads books www. uukanshu.net There are a lot of wild vegetables in it.
The Tang Dynasty post station is also like this, but the people will pick wild vegetables themselves, and the nearby fishermen will send fish.
Maya's is not, it is very direct, just come to drink soup, and then take a jar of cool water home.
Li Yi was generous. He put volcanic rocks in the upper pool and the edge of the lower pool to absorb impurities in the water.
He didn't find medical stone nearby, otherwise he would have used medical stone.
"Mom, mom, I don't want to leave my mom... Mom..."
Li Yi was eating happily here, and there was a child screaming heartbreakingly below.
Li Yi frowned, and the Yulin flying cavalry next to him rushed down to see what was going on.
There were many sufferings in the world, and Li Yi and the people of the Tang Dynasty could not take care of them, but now he has to take care of them because it affects their meals.
You fell down and died of sunburn ten kilometers away, and I didn't see it, but you can't do it under my nose.
Before the imperial guards came back to report, the little robot said, "There is a mother and a son. They were going to sell them to us, but someone nearby took a fancy to the woman and raised the price."
"Ask the seller who he is selling to. We will give him this price. Let the sniper keep an eye on the buyer.
The country has its own laws, and the industry has its own rules. There is no order without rules. Can you just stop something that has been agreed upon?
If you do this, you can only hold hands in the future. Teach them how to hold hands.
I want both mother and son. Can you not give me anything and affect my meals?"
Li Yi's face sank. Dare to make trouble? Sniper you.
A few more imperial guards came over and brought a woman and a child. The child looked five or six years old, and the woman looked less than 20 years old.
The man who was a slave at home probably died when she gave birth to the child early.
"What does holding hands mean?" The little girl was used to seeing slaves, and she was interested in holding hands.
