Medicine in Song Dynasty

Chapter 251 Equipment
It's getting cooler day by day, which is much better than the summer heat.

However, a group of students in the school were not very happy. In the summer, they made ice by themselves, and then went out to sell it, making a lot of money, and everyone’s pockets were bulging. I am reluctant to buy good things and send them home to my parents.

It's rare to come to Kaifeng once. This is the capital of the country. There are so many good things on the streets, which are definitely not comparable to small places like Qingzhou. It is better to let parents follow along with fresh and fresh.

Anyway, there are few things in the school recently, the students and the teacher have been on vacation for more than a month, and there is plenty of time.

Su Tong didn't care about them, just treated them as social practice.

Now she is also busy, Xiaoyao is going to get married soon, her relatives are Axia's sisters, her parents and brothers can't count on her, she has a lot of money on hand, and Su Tong asked someone to save it for her early With less good wood, many large dowries were built.

Those big quilts have already been prepared, and the auspicious clothes are almost ready, but Xiao Yao is really nervous these days, sewing all kinds of small things like purses, shoes and socks all day long, just waiting Open the door to give gifts to relatives and sisters-in-law.

Her needlework is getting better and better now, and Su Tong likes all the things she makes, so she thinks about it and invites Axia and the others to play needlework together.

Speaking of traveling through this experience, even though Su Tong was dissatisfied in various ways, he couldn't help secretly delighting in his sudden acquisition of skills such as piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, needlework and so on.

In the 21st century, Miss Su, the only needlework she could do was sewing and mending, and making a button. Now, if there is a chance to wear it back, she can just do a few embroidery jobs, and maybe it will last for a year. .

And it's no problem to show off in the name of a talented woman.

"See if these two straps are thick enough?"

A-Xia stretched out her hand and lifted up two light blue ribbons, about the thickness of her forearm, made of cotton cloth with fine stitches and very strong.

Su Tong took it and looked at it: "This kind of belt is good, it doesn't rub the skin."

In addition to school uniforms throughout the year, the students in their school are equipped with backpacks, pen and ink boxes, etc., and Su Tong also takes people to equip them.

The pen and ink box are all made of high-quality wood and exquisitely carved.

As for the backpack, it is much better looking than those made by machines now. Su Tong made it into double shoulders, the straps were widened, and the shoulders were padded with thick cotton cloth.

After it was made, not only the students liked it, but even Chen Mo made a big one himself, and used it to store his scattered books and various tools when he went out on weekdays.

It's just that the straps are very useless, and I don't know why, but the cloth used for these straps is of high quality and very strong.

Recently, the lab made some magnifying glasses as teaching aids. She saw that the students liked it, so she just sent one to each of them, and the girls were fine. The boys like Fu Dahu and Fu Erbao were very happy, and they often took them out to show off. It happened to be summer these days, and Su Tong heard people complain all day long, saying that the boys in their school were shameless, whether in school or on the street, they had to use a magnifying glass to light a fire from time to time to play.

This is not a good sign, Chen Mo was so angry that he even used sticks to suppress their enthusiasm.

After such a toss, Erlang and Ayue also knew it, and they were very envious. They pestered Su Tong to insist that they also have complete equipment, and they didn't care that the two of them didn't need it at all.

My younger brother opened his mouth, and this request can still be met.

Su Tong had nothing to do, so he simply made all kinds of backpacks and let the two children choose them.

There are many other odds and ends, and the most troublesome thing is the thermos pot designed by Su Tong and asked Chen Mo to find a craftsman to make it.

The workmanship is very simple, mercury is not expensive, but the vacuum in the interlayer is not easy to do, but the craftsmen of this era are really capable, and Su Tong talked about the principle, and they will figure it out quickly.

What's even more rare is that these craftsmen actually asked Su Tong to remind them to make screw caps, which is very convenient.

The whole pot is made, and the style is a bit similar to a green military thermos pot, but it is made into a gourd shape, and the cover is also very delicate, with more embroidered landscapes, characters and animals.

Students often go out for various activities, such as mountain climbing, horseback riding, hunting, and some of them specialize in farming, and are sent to the village to farm from time to time. This kind of thermos is very useful. In summer, a pot of sour plum soup , hot water in winter.

There are also students who are reluctant to use it and insist on sending it home to their parents.

After doing needlework for a while, Axia couldn't help but said: "How about going out and buying some fruit to eat? The taste of the Four Seasons Building is the best, and I can't make the same taste at home."

Seeing that the sky was still early, the weather was sunny and the weather was neither too hot nor too cold, and it was a good time for a trip, Su Tong agreed, changed into his riding clothes and went out on horseback.

Her horse is a very docile mare, with a snow-white body and only four hooves with a ring of red hair, just like walking on sparks, so she was named Fire Wheel.

'Fire Wheel' was a gift from the eldest princess. Su Tong has never tried its foot strength, but it is definitely a good horse.

Let the groom lead the horse out first, and as soon as Miss Su passed by, 'Fire Wheel' came over and licked her face vigorously, which made her feel happy immediately.

The old groom couldn't help sighing: "Horses are loyal, and if they recognize you as their master, they won't care about anyone else."

Su Tong smiled and rubbed Hulu Steamer's neck, and decided that if the students went out for horse racing in the future, she would follow. It would be too pitiful for a horse to be locked up at home.

A Xia watched and shook his head: "It's such a good horse, it's a pity to follow you."

With Su Tong, this horse has no chance to go out for a run.

She didn't know horses before, but now she's doing business, so in order not to lose face, she has to make up a lot of lessons, such as antiques, fashionable clothes, and horses.

Appreciation of horses is also a very important subject. Horses are very expensive in the Song Dynasty. Those who can afford to ride good horses are definitely rich people. A Xia usually goes out to discuss business. People can always get twice the result with half the effort.

After going back and forth to understand the rules, she finally worked hard to understand a little superficial, at least she can scare laymen.

Su Tong laughed, got on the horse, trotted out the door, and went straight to the Four Seasons Building.

A Xia also quickly picked a shorter horse to follow.

Riding a horse and galloping on the street is not good, even running is not very good, the two of them walked slowly side by side, followed by two rows of young men, looking from a distance, they still had a bit of momentum.

But in Kaifeng, there are many women like them in the Yamen, so they are not conspicuous.
