Ye Yuan really didn't expect that he would find this so-called craft book in an old book.

"Tiangong Kaiwu" is a comprehensive work on agriculture and handicraft production written by Song Yingxing in 1637 (the tenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty). It is an encyclopedia.

In the book, the author emphasizes that human beings must coordinate with nature, and human power must cooperate with natural forces.

The whole book covers almost all production technologies, technological processes, design culture and many issues in various sectors and fields of agriculture and handicraft industry before industrial civilization.

It is the most abundantly preserved historical material of science and technology in China. Foreign scholars call "Tiangong Kaiwu":

"Encyclopedia of Chinese Crafts in the Seventeenth Century".

The whole book is divided into three volumes and 18 chapters.

It is accompanied by 121 illustrations.

The first volume mainly writes about

Nai Li: About the cultivation technology of food crops.

Naifu: the sources and processing methods of clothing raw materials.

Zhang Shi: Dyeing methods with vegetable dyes.

Essence: The processing of grains.

Making Salt: Introducing the production methods of salt.

Sweetness: Methods of growing sugar cane, making sugar, and keeping bees.

The middle volume is

Pottery: the making of bricks, tiles, and ceramics.

Smelting: The casting of metal objects.

Boat and vehicle: The structure, production and use of ships and vehicles.

Hammer forging: Use hammer forging method to make iron and bronze objects.

Flint: Production technology of lime, coal and other non-metallic minerals.

Cream: Extraction method of vegetable oils.

Finishing: The method of making paper.

Next volume

Hardware: Mining and smelting of metals.

Good Weapons: How to Make Weapons.

Danqing: the production of ink and pigment.

Quhe: the method of making wine.

Pearls and jade: the source of jewelry and jade.

When Ye Yuan discovered this book, he was really happy.

Not to mention that every page in this book was written by hand, even the content above gave him a great impact.

I really didn’t expect that the ancient Chinese people had already conducted in-depth research on so many aspects. I don’t know how they did it later, but they actually asked Westerners to start the scientific and technological revolution.

Ye Yuan believed that when this book was published, the Chinese must have been ahead of the West in terms of science and technology.

But there are also regrets, that is, there should have been 18 books in "Tiangong Kaiwu".

Ye Yuan only found 14 books in his collection.

As for where the remaining four books have gone, only those who have turned into corpses know this, right?

The time was spent by Ye Yuan reading a book, and soon he came to the time he had made an appointment with Zhang Wuwu.

Because he had to drink today, Ye Yuan did not drive there.

Instead, he walked out of the community and flagged down a taxi.

He got out of the taxi a few hundred meters away from the hotel.

After finding a surveillance blind spot, I found an extra portable box in my hand.

The box contained the special aftertaste brewed by the space lake water that Zhang Wuwu asked him to prepare.

When Ye Yuan came to the hotel, he didn't need to ask anyone, he went straight into the private room that he had reserved.

Because he arrived relatively late, there were already many people in the box when he approached.

It’s just that everyone didn’t serve the table, they were all sitting in the living room communicating with each other.

Zhang Wuwen saw that Ye Yuan had just arrived at this point, and directly said:

"Xiaoyuan, how can I say that in today's game, you are half the master, right? There is no such thing as you.

Look what time it is."

Ye Yuan also knew that he had done something wrong, so he touched the tip of his nose awkwardly:

"Can I say there's a traffic jam?"

What greeted him was a crowd of blank stares.

Just when Ye Yuan was handing the wine to Zhang Wuwu, this guy was about to criticize him again.

The door to the box was pushed open again, and this time four people walked in.

It's different from how the box is now filled with young people.

Among the four people who walked in, three were middle-aged men and one was a young girl.

Ye Yuan knew two of these people.

One is Wang Xuehong, who has dealt with him several times, and the other is Li Shiyun, who he just met yesterday.

Li Shiyun is different from the one she saw yesterday.

When I met with me yesterday, she was wearing a professional suit, which gave people the impression of being smart and capable.

Today, she is wearing a black evening dress, paired with her iceberg-like face.

Gives people a different feeling.

“It’s true that people rely on their clothes.”

Ye Yuan gave it in his heart.

Looking at the two people he didn't recognize, one was a very fat middle-aged man, and the other was a beautiful middle-aged woman who was somewhat similar to Li Shiyun.

Reminiscent of what Zhang Wuwu said to himself yesterday.

These two people should be his father and aunt.

Even though Ye Yuan and Zhang Wuwen were classmates for four years, his father Ye Yuan had never met.

I met him for the first time today, and I really didn’t expect that dry Zhang Wuyuan would have such a rich father.

Not to mention Li Shiyun's mother, she looked like a great beauty when she was young, otherwise she wouldn't have given birth to such a top-notch girl as Li Shiyun.

But the gap between the two brothers and sisters is a bit big, and I don't know if their parents are partial.

Putting away those random thoughts, Ye Yuan walked behind Zhang Wuwen and greeted a few people.

"Uncle Wang, it's great that you can come."

After all, they all came here because of their own tourist area, and Ye Yuan also wanted to entertain them warmly.

"You kid..."

Wang Xuehong just smiled and pointed at Ye Yuan.

Even though it was just three simple words, others could tell that he had nothing to say to Ye Yuan.

Otherwise, given Wang Xuehong’s status and age, he would not talk like this to a young man in his 20s.

The two of them had been in contact several times, so there was no need to be too polite. Ye Yuan turned around and looked at his endless father.

Without Zhang Wuwu's introduction, Ye Yuan said:

"Uncle Zhang? Hello!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hands and shook Father Zhang's hand.

It was also the first time that Zhang Decai saw Ye Yuan. He had always heard about this young man from his elder brother Wang Xuehong and his own son.

I was really surprised to see him today.

In his impression, Ye Yuan should be a gentle and gentle young man.

But when we actually met, I realized that the little guy's body shape is really perfectly proportioned.

Some people may say, why do you care about someone else's figure when you first meet him? He's still a man.

There is no way, who told him to be so fat?

That's why Zhang Decai has a problem. No matter who he is, the first thing he observes about strangers is their figure.

"I've heard of your name many times at my home in Wuyang. You're a good boy!"

The two shook hands, and Zhang Decai patted Ye Yuan's arm with his other hand.

Next was Li Shiyun's mother, but Ye Yuan didn't know how to address her.

At this time, Zhang Wuwu's ability was seen, and he was the first to speak:

"Xiao Yuan, you are just like me, just call me aunt"

"Hello, Aunt Zhang!"

Ye Yuan asked politely.

Zhang Xueshan was different from the others. She looked at Ye Yuan the way a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law.
