However, Xiao Wen frowned and said, ”You didn't drink the water from those lead pipes did you?”
”No, what's wrong?” Zhou Wei didn't know why Xiao Wen asked that. She could only shake her head.
”It's good that you don't have any.” Xiao Wen let out a breath of relief and ordered, ”You can't drink the water in the lead pipe even if you're thirsty. The water is poisonous and must be left in the pipeline to be recycled. It cannot be brought out. ”
The Romans, he remembered, had suffered from massive heavy metal poisoning because of their chronic use of tap water transported through lead pipes.
Because of this, their population decreased and their physical fitness gradually decreased. They had to rely on the barbarians to fight at the end of the empire. Just like the Great Tang Empire, they had lost to the foreign army.
”Wah!” ”What is this!?” A voice sounded from the depths of the room. It was Sun Shangxiang.
Xiao Wen could hear that she seemed to be shocked by something in the house.
Sun Shangxiang was such a knowledgeable and experienced girl from a noble family, yet she was shocked. There were only a few such designs. With the direction of the sound, Xiao Wen could roughly understand what Sun Shangxiang had encountered.
Still, he took off his shoes at the door and went into the house.
”Sir, since when did our family's bathroom become so luxurious? It was actually made out of porcelain.” Sun Shangxiang's eyes sparkled as she looked at the bathroom and exclaimed in surprise.
”Is this extravagant?” Xiao Wen retorted, ”Although the price of top grade porcelain is quite expensive. ”But ordinary porcelain should be quite cheap!”
”Not to mention that the Chinese law is always feasible. The law doesn't forbid people to make their own ceramics, so we built our own porcelain cellar and burned some of our own … Tiles. ” Zhou Wei also explained.
Indeed, if the world's own ceramics were to be used in this process, perhaps even the most advanced Ming Empire would not be able to produce durable tiles.
It could only be made by relying on the technology provided by Xiao Wen. It was able to make a ceramic tile that was cheaper than it was made to accept.
At the same time, there was also a two meter long bathtub that was also made from high-quality ceramic heating technology.
This bathtub was what Xiao Wen was looking forward to the most when he returned.
After all, in the winter, what he wanted to do the most was to stay in the bathtub for an entire day and not come out until the bath water was cold … Then he changed to fresh hot water and continued to soak.
However, in his previous life, whether it was when Xiao Wen was at his parents' house or when he was living alone, he didn't have the qualifications to use the bathtub.
Only when he transmigrated to ancient times would he be able to obtain such good conditions.
”Thank you for your evil feudalism!” Xiao Wen thought.
At this moment, Zhou Xian also ran out from the kitchen.
”Xiao Wen, are you back?” Zhou Xian looked at Xiao Wen. Although she knew he came back today, she was still surprised.
”Yes, I'm back.” Xiao Wen smiled as he looked at his sister-in-law.
”It's good that you're back.” Zhou Xian looked at Xiao Wen and nodded in satisfaction. But then she said, ”Come here. There's some trouble in the kitchen and I need your help. ”
Damn!
As soon as Xiao Wen returned, he was captured and sent to work as a laborer.
There was no helping it, Zhou Xian was her sister-in-law.
She's also a great beauty …
