Li Xiaolu is a Geisha, because she goes to high-end places, so the knowledge is still very good. She has seen many strange things, such as many strange things sold from the Great Tang Empire to overseas She has almost always had the chance to meet, and naturally includes a very clear mirror that can take a picture of a person’s face.

However, due to the difficulty of transportation and the lack of production capacity of large mirrors, large full-length mirrors have no chance to be sold overseas. Therefore, Li Xiaolu who has never been to Great Tang has naturally had no chance to see full-length mirrors. Moreover, even if she went to the Great Tang, she might not be able to see the full-length mirror. After all, Chang’an City has so many powerful people, they are not enough to grab them. How can it be her turn, Brothel’s mirror is generally only half-length Only when she was fortunate to enter the noble’s home could she have a chance to see the full-length mirror.

The essential difference between a half-length mirror and a full-length mirror is that you can only sit in the mirror and see your upper body, while the full-length mirror can stand and look in the mirror, which can illuminate all the body in the mirror. This is an essential difference. of.

After all, the half-length mirror can only see what your face looks like, while the full-length mirror can let you see your figure and see exactly what your body shape is.

Since entering the cabin, Li Xiaolu has been twisting his posture in front of the full-length mirror, constantly observing his body shape, and at the same time rotating his body to see what his usual movements look like.

In short, Li Xiaolu is very happy. She likes this full-length mirror very much, and she even put it down. This is also the nature of women. All women like mirrors and all like smelly. This will never change, 10000 years will not change.

Li An doesn’t have the habit of looking in the mirror. What he cares more about is whether the room is clean enough and whether it is comfortable to live in. This is his most concerned issue.

The decorative materials are all selected by Li An himself, and the quality will definitely not be a problem, the cleanliness will definitely be the same, and will not have any problems.

Li An just checked it again, and he was very satisfied with his compliment, saying that he did a good job, the room was very beautiful and clean, the lighting was also in place, and the privacy and soundproofing were also very good. Overall, it was very satisfactory. Too.

Next to the living room is the bath room, and there is only a wide aisle in the middle, and a toilet in the middle of the aisle, which is also a place to resolve the toilet.

This design not only facilitates daily life, but at the same time, it does not allow the air pollution in the bathroom and toilet to live in a place that meets the needs of Li An’s healthy life.

When Li An entered the bathroom, Li Xiaolu also followed in. As a regular bather, she is the most familiar with the bathroom. However, he is the first time to see such a luxurious bathroom, and he is excited in it. running in and out.

“Minister Li, this bathroom has just been renovated, there are still a lot of work that is not done, and the air is not very good.”

The subordinate said.

Seeing the construction waste in one place, Li An already knew that the work here has not been completely completed, and many places have not been renovated in place, but even so, in Li Xiaolu’s eyes, this is already the top bathroom configuration By the way, don’t you feel too comfortable to take such a huge bath.

There are more than a dozen artisans under construction in the kitchen. There is too much construction waste piled up in the kitchen, and it is temporarily unable to enter. Li An just looked outside and left.

Because it is under construction, the smell in all cabins is not very good. I long expected that in the cabin with bad smells, it would be a great damage to the human body, so, soon, Li An will Pulling Li Xiaolu on the deck, the place is large enough and the air is fresh enough.

Despite the inevitable smell of fish at the beach, standing on the tall deck, you can’t smell it at all, because the sea breeze is blowing from the depths of the sea, so simply can’t smell the beach, but only Fresh taste deep in the ocean.

Shelf is being built on the deck, the main load-bearing is steel, the secondary part is a wooden frame, this is to prepare a flower pot, the sea navigation is very boring, the feeling of not seeing land is very bad, and if it is on a ship Being able to see green plants will give people a very happy feeling and make them able to maintain a happy feeling, which is beneficial to their physical and mental health.

Not only does Li An have a lot of flower pots on the boat, all the other ship decks must have flower pots, and all kinds of land plants must be planted in them. Of course, the size and number of the configuration are definitely different, impossible is like this Large scale, this consumes too much.

Li An has allocated a large number of flower pots and green plants to his boat, while for the remaining ships, there are only a small number of flower pots and plants, and the smaller ships have only a dozen pots, and the minimum is ten Soldiers are responsible for a flower pot, so that taking care of a pot of plants with ten soldiers will certainly take good care of it, and will not let the plants die, and at the same time, will not consume much fresh water.

The flower pots of the other ships are relatively small. The plants planted in them are all small and drought-tolerant plants. On the boat of Li An, not only are there many types of plants, but also there are many large plants. There are plants, and even two coconut trees are planted on the low part of the rear deck, and the coconuts on these two coconut trees are still there, and they can be picked at any time to quench thirst.

“Coconut tree, Minister Li actually moved the coconut tree to the boat, haha.”

Li Xiaolu seemed very excited. She was afraid that it was the first time she saw coconut trees planted on a boat.

Li An is also very humorous, opened the mouth and said with a smile: “It takes a long time to reach the land along the way. When you want to drink coconut juice, just pick one. There are dozens of 2 tree feet. enough.”

Li Xiaolu looked towards Li An doubtfully, opened the mouth and said: “If Minister Li likes to drink coconut juice, just pick more coconut fruit, and the coconut fruit can be stored for a long time without the coconut tree, and it will not be very It’s about to break, why not bring coconut fruit directly? “

“Isn’t it fresher? The freshly picked fruit is always fresher than the fruit stored for a while!”

Li An continued.

“There is no difference, simply cannot feel it.”

Li Xiaolu is very familiar with the taste of coconut fruit. Whether it was freshly picked or stored for a period of time, she has drunk it, so she knows that the taste is not much different.

Li An laughed, opened the mouth and said: “What would it feel like to touch a young Beauty’s hand and a young ugly woman’s hand.”

“I understand, Minister Li feels that the newly picked coconut fruit is delicious, so he planted coconut trees on the boat, right!”

Li Xiaolu said with a smile.

Li An pats Li Xiaolu ’s head, nodded and said: “You ’re smart, that ’s what it really means. Also, do n’t you think that after the 2 coconut trees are planted on the boat, the whole boat looks beautiful, along the sea all the way Wandering among them, you can’t see a tree, how uncomfortable it is! With a coconut tree, you will feel much better. “

After speaking, he walked up to a cluster of tall water plants and asked, “Do you know what this grass is?”

“There are many such plants on the banks of the Nile. What is the name? I really don’t know.”

Li Xiaolu answered truthfully.

Li An said introduced: “This grass is famous. This is papyrus in Egypt. It is a very important plant in Egypt. It is very important. Do you know any important uses of papyrus?”

“I don’t know, can it be eaten?”

Li Xiaolu ’s stay in Egypt is not long. Naturally, he does not know what the purpose of papyrus is.

The so-called papyrus was originally a herbaceous plant in the lower reaches of the Nile in Egypt. This plant is relatively large, hard, upright, and tall is its main feature, just like the reeds of the Great Tang. in.

The shorter papyrus can grow to the height of one meter, and the highest papyrus can grow to a height of 4 meters, which is simply Hegemon among the grasses.

This grass is different from ordinary annual herbaceous plants. It belongs to perennial evergreen plants. The stems are upright and clumped, 3 diamonds, unbranched, small flowers, light purple. It is a pretty aquatic plant.

Papyrus is distributed in swamps, diving lakes and creeks and other wet parts of Africa. In deeper water, papyrus is the main plant that constitutes vegetation. Nowadays, wild papyrus is distributed in parts of Africa. There are also traces of sand and grass in many diving sites in Great Tang.

The life force of this grass is very tenacious, whether it is a wet forest or a dry desert, as long as the average temperature is more than 20 degrees throughout the year, the soil can grow well without acid or alkali. The flowers of papyrus are in the evening It blooms in summer and tends to bloom in a semi-shadow environment full of sunshine. Like many typical tropical plants, papyrus is very sensitive to frost, and it is absolutely impossible to encounter frost, otherwise, it is easy to cause death.

Many rich people in later generations will choose to decorate their private gardens with papyrus, which is very beautiful when planted with tall papyrus, and the most important thing is that this grass has a strong life force and is not easy to get sick. It can even be used to prevent and control water pollution.

Li An laughed, said: “Can you eat? How is it possible, you are really a snack, the first word of papyrus is paper, that is to say, this grass can be used to make paper, the paper used for Egyptian writing is all This kind of grass is made, but after the advanced paper of Great Tang entered Egypt, the sandpaper was eliminated, and now only the poor people in Egypt still use this backward paper. “

“Oh, that’s what it is! Didn’t expect this grass can make paper, so how did it become paper?”

Li Xiaolu asked curiously.

Li An naturally knew the process of making papyrus into papyrus, so he patiently explained it until Li Xiaolu fully understood it.

This so-called papyrus can’t really be called paper in the modern sense. It belongs to the direct thumping of the plant’s stem, and its performance is very bad. It can be regarded as a bamboo slip, but the manufacturing process is much more complicated than bamboo.

The production process of papyrus is very interesting. The selected material is the papyrus stalk. The hard green outer skin of the papyrus is first cut off, and the light-colored inner stem is cut into a strip of about 40 cm, and then cut into Piece by piece.

After cutting the slices, these slices need to be soaked in water for at least 6 days to remove the sugar content. Then, the strips are lined up side by side, and then covered with another layer. The two layers of slices should be perpendicular to each other.

Spread these slices in the middle of 2 layers of linen cloth and beat with a mallet while wet. Press the 2 slices into a piece and squeeze out the water. Then press with a heavy object such as stone. After drying, polish with pumice to obtain papyrus. Finished product.

Since only one side of the paper is used, a sizing treatment is required on the writing side, so that the ink will not bleed when writing.

The ancient Egyptians initially used paper as a scroll, but later for convenience, it was cut into sheets to make manuscripts. In this way, books appeared, even in later generations, papyrus was occasionally used for painting But water-based pigments can deform the paper.

The papyrus can be well preserved in the dry climate of Egypt, but it is easily damaged by mold in a humid environment. Therefore, many papyrus imported from humid areas in Europe have been destroyed, while in dry Egypt, several thousand The papyrus of New Year’s money is still preserved, which is simply a miracle.

Ancient Egypt invented papyrus very early, it was invented in 3000 years BC, 3000 years earlier than the papermaking technology of Huaxia, of course, the papermaking technology of Huaxia is real paper, and Egypt Papyrus is not paper, which is essentially different.

After the invention of papyrus, papyrus became the main writing medium, not only used by the Egyptians, but also this kind of papyrus was widely exported to Europe, which has been exported for more than 3000 years, until Huaxia’s advanced paper entered the overseas market, Egyptian papyrus began to fade away the brilliant rays of light.

In other words, Egypt’s backward papyrus has been brilliant for 3000 years, which shows the status of this paper in ancient Egypt.

Even now, Li An can still see a lot of papyrus in Egypt. After all, Great Tang is too far away from Egypt. The cost of paper transportation from Great Tang to Egypt will increase a lot, so the advantage is not obvious.

Of course, this is mainly because the Great Tang’s economy is booming. Various newspapers and media have appeared, and the demand for paper has skyrocketed. As a result, Chang’an paper is expensive, and the expensive Great Tang paper arrives across the ocean. In Egypt, the cost will be further increased, so there is no fatal threat to the backward papyrus in Egypt, but this is only temporary. As long as the paper production breakthrough of the Great Tang goes up, the price will be reduced step by step. When the cheap Great Tang paper fully entered the Egyptian market, it is estimated that there is no market for Egyptian papyrus anymore, and this situation will appear in a short time.
