Chapter 208 Very Few
At this time, the Mo family got up when they heard the noise. The lights were brightly on. When they heard the sound of horse hooves outside, they guessed that it might be their daughter returning. After all, she had been gone for several days, and it was time for her to come back.
Seeing her daughter looking tired, Mo's mother felt distressed. After a few pleasantries, the other members of the Mo family noticed that there were suddenly several more people in the room.
After learning more about it, I realized that this was the daughter's purchase of servants and maids.
After a few days of rest, Du Wenbo is no longer in any serious condition. He just needs to take his medicine on time and take good care of himself.
Even though he was in a hurry on the road, Mo Rao did not forget to ask someone to boil medicine for him. He would stop to boil medicine as soon as the time came. This was why he was delayed on the road for a while.
Mo's mother and father hurried to boil water and cook. Their daughter must not have eaten well during the journey. In the evening, Mo's mother kneaded the noodles while Mo's father boiled water, and soon the noodles were ready.
Mo's mother filled a bowl of noodles for each person and asked them to sit down and eat.
Meihua and her sister did not move, but insisted on waiting for Mo Rao to finish eating before eating.
Seeing that Meihua didn't move, the others felt embarrassed to sit down and eat. However, Twelve and others didn't have so many concerns. They just took their bowls and went to the stone table outside to eat.
Meihua is well aware of the consciousness of being a servant, and that kind of rules are engraved in her bones.
It’s too late today, so please put aside your rules for now and enforce them tomorrow.
She could see that Meihua must have been a maid in a wealthy family before. Everything was done in a set way, and even the little maids were well-behaved.
Finally, at Mo Rao's strong request, Meihua also took her sister out to eat with a bowl in her hand. She was the master and she was the servant, and they must always remember the distinction between the superior and the inferior.
Only Du Wenbo was completely unaffected by others. He just picked up the bowl and started eating, completely unaffected by the master-servant relationship. In fact, objectively speaking, Du Wenbo was no longer a slave. The day before leaving, she had someone cancel his slave status in the government office.
This guy is half a fellow villager after all, so I have to lend a hand.
At that time, his household registration will be moved to Mojia Village, so that he can be considered a person with an identity and household registration.
After finishing the noodles in the bowl, Mo Rao said: I will go to the village chief tomorrow to register your household registration, so that you will be a member of Mojia Village in the future.
"Okay, I don't understand this either. Just take your time and make the arrangements. As for the money I owe you, I'll pay it back when I make some money," Du Wenbo said.
The next day, Mo Rao brought Du Wenbo to the village chief's house. When asking someone for help, they had to be polite. When the village chief saw that the girl brought snacks and bacon, he knew that the girl had something to ask him again.
Mo Rao explained the purpose of her visit and said that Du Wenbo was a young man she rescued on the road. He looked pitiful and she was thinking about whether he could settle down in Mojia Village.
If someone else came to see the village chief, he would definitely not agree. After all, in this era, people were most reluctant to accept people of unknown origin. No one knew whether this person was a vicious criminal or a runaway slave. No one would unconsciously stop themselves from getting into trouble.
But this person is Mo Rao, which is different. He still trusts this girl.
It’s because of this girl that the current Mojia Village is doing well.
The village chief agreed without hesitation. After the matter was settled, he naturally went to the laboratory to check the situation.
Mo Rao and Du Wenbo rushed up the mountain, and she didn't even have time to distribute the gifts bought for the family. So, let Old Lady Mo clean up!
Now Mo Rao could imagine how Old Lady Mo reacted when she saw the things in the carriage.
At this time, Old Lady Mo was rummaging through the carriage. Every time she took something out, she felt heartbroken. Meihua, who was standing by, wanted to go forward to help, but Old Lady Mo refused.
Ouch! You spendthrift girl, you're having a hard time living, buying everything.
"Ouch! What are all these things you bought?" Old Mrs. Mo muttered as she took them out, carefully handling each item for fear of bumping or denting it.
Mo's mother and Meihua were waiting outside. Meihua thought that if the old lady knew that the girl had spent nearly two hundred taels to buy them, she would be heartbroken. So she had to work hard to repay the girl for saving her life.
If it weren't for the girl, the two sisters might have become corpses by now.
If I were sold to a brothel and had to rely on men to live a dark life, being bullied every day and living a life worse than death, it would be better for me to die.
She and her sister had originally agreed that if they were sold to a brothel, they would have no choice but to die to maintain their innocence.
Unexpectedly, there is always a way out. They met the girl, who was their savior, so she would swear allegiance to Miss Mo until death.
When he arrived at the laboratory, Du Wenbo was also amazed. He didn't expect to see such a modern laboratory in ancient times.
When she saw all kinds of minerals in the warehouse, with one type in each area, and even oil was obtained by her, she naturally wanted to get into the state quickly.
The most important thing now is the generator. Without a generator, it will be inconvenient to do anything.
The two discussed it and decided to make a diesel generator first. This is a relatively old way of generating electricity. You have to eat one bite at a time. It is not impossible to make solar panels, but the process is more complicated.
There are no tools or machines, everything is done manually, step by step.
The oil has already been separated, and the silver wire can be custom-made at a jewelry store.
After marking the required materials, Mo Rao asked someone to purchase them.
The stove caught fire and charcoal was burned directly inside. Charcoal is now in such an abundance that there is no place to store it. Later, Seventeen built a warehouse on the mountain specifically for storing charcoal.
After that, Mo Rao stayed in the laboratory almost every day, almost living in it. The laboratory was in the mountains and the villagers could not see it, otherwise who knows what unpleasant words would be spread.
The Mo family would often go into the laboratory to clean up, but they didn't stay there for long, mainly because there were some dangerous items in it, and they were afraid that one of their family members would be hurt accidentally.
After more than ten days of firing, the tungsten filament was finally fired.
The principle of the light bulb is also simple. After the glass is fired and formed, the wick is placed into the light bulb.
Tungsten filaments are mainly used for lighting. Every day, candlelight was used for lighting, which was too unsafe. The main laboratory was full of chemicals, so electric lighting was imminent.
The generator has now been installed, but due to incomplete tools, it is large and rough.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as the first step of generating electricity is successful, everything else will be fine.
Are you ready? Du Wenbo said excitedly,
Okay, let's get started! Mo Rao was also a little excited at this moment. How could she not be excited? With electricity, what she wanted to do next would be simple.
Du Wenbo excitedly pulled the rope back and forth several times. A "dong, dong!" sound rang out, and the two men excitedly looked at the lightbulb on the power strip. Under their excited gaze, the lightbulb lit up.
It's done, it's done!
Become!
The two jumped up excitedly. The subsequent research and development made them even more motivated.
Mo Rao refined the ore into an alloy, and soon the first soldering pen was successfully developed in the laboratory.
Du Wenbo made a small flashlight for Mo Rao so that it would be more convenient for her to go up and down the mountain.
When they got home, the Mo family looked at the flashlight in Mo Rao's hand curiously. "My daughter, you said this is something you researched in the mountains," said Mo's father in disbelief.
Yes! Have you seen the lightning in the sky? This is the same principle as lightning. Mo Rao briefly explained it to her family.
This lightning can be artificially created, just like the iron pots and farm tools we use, which are all made of stones.
Iron is made from stone. Old Mrs. Mo couldn't believe it. The iron products she had used all her life were actually made of stone. How could stone be made into iron?
Mo Rao was not surprised that her family didn't know about it. After all, information was limited in that era.
The imperial court would not publicize knowledge about minerals everywhere, which led to many mines remaining unmined. It was not because the imperial court was unwilling to mine, but because the common people did not know what minerals were.
It was impossible to ask those officials to go into the mountains to look for minerals, so the minerals discovered were very few.
