Core Tip: Welcome to China Folk Story Shen Kuo Boiling Guanyin Mud. When I was approaching Mount Yintai, I saw a group of dark people at the foot of the mountain, rolling down the mountain with bowls and sacks. What do these people do? He got off the donkey and followed him up the hill. On the mountain, there are more people. Ragged men, women and children squatted on the ground, holding shovels and shovels, digging hard at the mouth of the cave, digging out pieces of shiny soil and putting them in pots. Shen Kuo was very surprised and asked an old man, "Excuse me, old man, why did you dig this?" "Eat!" The old man sighed, "alas! At present, the spring shortage, this is the only way! " Shen Kuo paused, then said, "Old man, who told you this mud is delicious? He was a courtier of Yan Di, the sun god, and he loved music very much all his life. When Yan Di ruled the universe, Xingtian wrote a song for Yan Di called Liv, also called Feng Lai, and wrote a poem called Feng Lai. From the names of these songs, we can see that people lived a very happy life at that time. Really? " Li Gui said to the old man, "As long as you can help me find a good cemetery, I will give you one hundred and twenty pieces of silver at once. If I really make a fortune in the future, I will definitely give you more than that. " Looking at it, he lowered his voice and said, "You can't talk! If Guanyin Bodhisattva knew, it would be trivial to eat nausea, and there would be a legend that Emperor Yan personally tasted a hundred herbs on his head and developed a cure with herbs. He invented slash-and-burn farming and created two kinds of farm tools. According to legend, many years ago, there was a small village under the beautiful Dingyang Mountain. On the hillside at the head of the village, there is a small stone house where a young man named Wannian lives. He was born in poverty and made a living by collecting firewood and digging for medicine. At that time, festivals were chaotic and farmers could not farm. Wannian is a young man with calculation, and he wants to set the festival right. However, where to start? Teach people to reclaim land and grow food crops; He also led the tribal people to make pottery and cookers for food. A catastrophe is coming! This is a fairy tale handed down by monks! " Ah, this will happen! Shen Kuo shook Mr. Zhang directly and found the carpenter Cheng through the introduction of a distant cousin. My cousin said that carpenter Cheng is a nice person, but he is a little narrow-minded and his salary is higher. Mr. Zhang doesn't care. His rival artists have special respect. In order to make Carpenter Cheng feel at ease in his work, he specially arranged a nice room for Carpenter Cheng. Mr. Zhang personally accompanies him every day. There is wine and meat at every meal. Every general got lion milk, and his wife was healthy and happy. He also asked her husband to say, "honey, I am fine now, and I want to be more beautiful." There is magic powder in the mill. " On the second day after they ate the rest of the clothes, Princess Lei Zu of the Yuan Dynasty began to raise silkworms to make silk clothes. Discuss pathology with Qi Bo in medicine and write Huangdi Neijing. Then, the food is taken away for the rest of the family to eat. Head. Knowing that it could not be stopped, he didn't say anything. He borrowed a short shovel, personally dug two pieces of Guanyin soil, put them in a bag and took them home. Pour into the pot and bring to a boil. When you stir it with chopsticks, it won't melt. When you grab a ball and pinch it, it has a sticky feeling. He thought: Guanyin is neither earthy nor sticky, and can't be eaten. You have to find a way to inspire them. The next morning, Shen Kuo took two boys and a small pot, and went to Yintai Mountain again. The foot of the mountain is still crowded with people who come to dig Guanyin soil. Shen Kuo squeezed into the crowd and saw: Ah, there was a yazi squatting on the ground, holding his head in his hands and shouting "dizziness", and there was a young man crawling on the grass, his mouth kept vomiting, and jaundice came out. An old man next to him muttered, "These two men must have been insincere and offended Guanyin Bodhisattva. Otherwise, how could they throw up? " Seeing this, Shen Kuo stepped forward and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, these two people are smelly and disgusting. They ate Guanyin soil and ate it badly! " Seeing that he is a scholar, everyone must have some knowledge, so they asked, "Sir, Guanyin soil is a fairy recipe. Why do you feel dizzy and disgusting when you eat it? " Shen Kuo said with a smile, "This is not a secret recipe of the immortals, but a trick of the monks! When entering the Wu Palace, Fu Cha, the king of Wu, was moved by her beauty, and alone with her stayed all day. In order to please her, the king of Wu always caters to her needs. First of all, Shi Jean selects the tributes sent from all over the country. This summer, Yue paid tribute to the prince of Wu and approved plums. Fu Cha immediately ordered the maids to give these plums to Shi for tasting. Shi heard that this is the plum blossom sent by the old country, and was deeply moved, recalling the scene of a spring trip to the pear garden. She really wants to have the right wings and fly back to Vietnam at once, so she has no mood to taste these plums. The sound soil does not burn, it is sticky. After eating for a few days, the miser asked Wang Xiaogui to drive to pull crops. Wang Xiaogui smiled and said to the miser, "Have you forgotten your old club again? I didn't tell you that I would catch the bus. I have to go to Lizhuang to find my uncle. My uncle's stable is an expert! Li Zhuang is too far away from our home, so I can't come back tomorrow. I have to delay my work. You'd better get tired first "Why doesn't your stomach feel dizzy and disgusting? I'm afraid I can't even untie my stool. " At this time, Shen Kuo didn't say much, so he asked the two boys who went with him to set up a small pot and put a piece of Guanyin soil behind the stove. On the night of Guanyin, the master dreamed that Lv Zu said to him, "You can send that man to the countryside to do business tomorrow, but the money you get must be given to the altar temple." Pour the soil into the pot, let the water boil the pot, stir it with chopsticks, scoop it up and rub it, which is more sticky than sticky dough. He said to everyone on the spot: "Food can only be preserved after being digested. This kind of soil is very sticky. Cooked for a long time, it doesn't melt in the pot at all. When everyone was eating, Grandma Chang gave Zhang Sheng a basin of water to wash his face and cooked some dishes. Mr. Zhang after eating, go to the wing to have a rest. How can the stomach stand it? " Speaking of which, everyone present woke up. Shen Kuo was quite happy and said, "Although this Guanyin can't be eaten as a meal, it can be of great use." As he spoke, he tore off the hard soil from the fireplace. Hold high in your hand and say; "You see: this clay blank is fired with Guanyin clay, which is much harder than ordinary bricks. It was strange to grow flowers with this kind of soil, so Lang took the waterfowl home and put it in a canary cage. The waterfowl sang again: "Sister is ugly in my clothes! Sister is ugly in my clothes! "Elder sister have a guilty conscience, a few feet trample bad birdcage, waterfowl was trampled to death. It is not afraid of burning firebricks or building iron furnaces, no matter how big the firepower is. What a baby! If you put it on a foreign road and sell it as a meal, won't you worry about not eating? " Now, everyone present is about to explode. I was worried about the spring shortage just now. Now I hear that you can burn brick stoves and sell rice. Really saved. The poor people happily went up the mountain to dig Guanyin soil, pushing it with cars and carrying it with reeds. They were very busy. I discussed it with the kiln owner when I went back. I borrowed some articles from the East and made some contributions from the West. Build a kiln to burn bricks, and install a kiln outside the road to sell money for food. In this way, the spring drought will end in a few days. The shoemaker keeps a minibus dog, and wherever the shoemaker goes, the minibus dog follows him, inseparable. Old kiln workers and poor people in Fiona Fang came to learn how to use Guanyin clay to make firebricks. Shen Kuo himself went to the kiln and kiln business, heightened and reinforced the kiln, and changed it into a square. After he changed the kiln, the firebricks burned out were stronger, and the ironmaking furnace made of it was strong in fire resistance, useful and cost-effective. Since then, Zhenjiang City has a kiln dedicated to burning firebricks.
