Chapter 214: A New Path to Prosperity
As Nangong Long said, when Lu Yunxi arrived at the top of this tower, he knew why only Muta Village had so much rice bran.
It turns out that there is a natural hot spring on the top of this tower mountain.
The hot springs fall all the way down the mountain stream to the bottom of the mountain, and a lake is formed at the bottom of the mountain.
The rice is planted according to the water of this lake, and after the harvest in autumn, a large amount of rice bran is stored.
As a result, the rice bran reserves in this Muta Village have become the largest amount around the capital.
Nangong Long and Lu Yunxi stood on the top of the mountain and watched for a long time, until there was a slight wind on the mountain, and the two got up and went down the mountain.
"Although there is a lot of rice bran in Muta Village, it is useless. ”
Nangong Long said to Lu Yunxi as he walked forward.
Hearing this, Lu Yunxi was puzzled.
For today's food-based era, if there is food, there is the world, how can it be useless?
"Rice bran is nothing else. It's not a good thing, and it has no other use than to use it for refining oil. However, since the reform of the New Deal of the first emperor, most of these oilseeds are made of rapeseed, and rice bran oil is expensive for grain, and the price is high, so where is there any market?"
Listening to Nangong Long's analysis, Lu Yunxi was a little curious about this person.
She stopped, her eyes swept Nangong Long's body up and down, and asked in a deep voice, "Nangong Gongzi doesn't look like a farmer, how can he have such a deep study of this thing?"
Nangong Long showed an indifferent smile and pursed his lower lip, "The Nangong family has been mainly farming for generations. Although the fields are now tenanted to the farmers in the village, the ancestors have taught us not to abandon farming, and these things are just scratching the surface. Why don't you understand?"
Lu Yunxi pondered for a moment, "Although this rice bran can't refine oil, it can refine things on the side." ”
"What?"
Nangong Long looked at Lu Yunxi in confusion.
Lu Yunxi remembered that when she was in China in the past, there was a time when her skin suddenly burst and she was allergic, and her face was full of red rashes and unbearable itching.
She used a lot of skin care products, but to no avail.
In the end, I listened to the recommendations of the people around me and used an oil essence containing squalane, which can be regarded as stabilizing the skin, gradually restoring the barrier, and slowly getting better.
Later, she also deliberately studied for a while.
It was found that this squalane originally came from the body of sharks, but with the advancement of science and technology, it can also be extracted from some plants.
Among these plants, there is rice bran.
However, I didn't study it deeply at the time, but I didn't know how to extract it from rice bran.
She made up a random excuse, only saying that there was something in the rice bran that could nourish the skin, but she didn't know how to extract it.
"What's so hard about that?"
Unexpectedly, this Nangong Long agreed to come down.
"My Nangong family has been engaged in farming for generations, and they are even more handy at extracting things from these crops. To tell the truth, I came to the capital this time to buy utensils, and after returning to Jiangning, I could open a workshop to refine the various ingredients in these crops. ”
Hearing this, Lu Yunxi was also overjoyed.
If this is the case, he can cooperate with Nangong Long.
First, to consume the rice bran in his hand, and secondly, to refine this squalane and add it to skin care products, which can be regarded as a new product of Dyeing Xige.
On top of that, this squalane is natural and moisturizing, so even pregnant women can use it. When the time comes, you can still dedicate this thing to the ladies in the palace, why not?
The two hit it off and agreed to stay in Muta Village for the time being, with the idea of refining squalane from rice bran, and then signing a long-term cooperation treaty after the method was stable.
The two of them happily made their way back to the village, and the sky was getting darker, and after dinner, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Maybe it was because he was a little tired from going up the mountain during the day, Lu Yunxi just lay down for a while, and then he felt that his whole body was uncomfortable, and there were bursts of sour gas in his stomach.
Since she became pregnant, she has rarely had morning sickness, and even pregnancy reactions are rare. I didn't expect the pregnancy to be so serious these days.
Lu Yunxi lay on the couch and struggled for a while, after all, she couldn't bear the sour breath in her stomach, so she had to get up, shrink in the corner, and hold the wooden bucket used by the couch, and the whole person was planted in it, and she couldn't stop vomiting.
At this time, the sky outside was completely dark, and when the breeze blew, you could still faintly see the note of the willow tree in the courtyard gently swaying.
Lu Yunxi vomited for a while before he straightened up, and suddenly saw a black shadow flash outside the house.
The shadow was very fast, leaning against the window, and its ears were close to the window.
Lu Yunxi's appearance at the black shadow was really a little strange, and his heart sank.
She couldn't help but shrink back into the darkness, pulled the tulle on one side, blocked it in front of her, and looked in the direction of the house with a wary expression.
At this moment, he saw the black shadow rush into the house in two steps and pushed the door open.
At this time, Lu Yunxi saw clearly that this black shadow was not one person, but three or four people.
Two of them were standing outside the house, and two of them had already entered the house sideways, carrying long blades in their hands, and rushed to the couch.
It seems that these people are coming for themselves.
Looking at their appearance, they have a great taste of not killing themselves and swearing not to be human.
Lu Yunxi's mind was spinning rapidly, and he didn't know who he had offended, so he provoked these black-clothed people to come to the house to assassinate him at night.
As she thought about it, she didn't dare to move.
The tulle blew gently in the breeze, covering her face, but it made her hide a little deeper.
The two men in black had already raised the long blades in their hands, and the sharp blades fell on the couch, picking up a little bit of the cotton in the quilt.
If you are still on the couch at the moment, where is your life alive?
The man in black also seemed to sense that the blade was not feeling right when it landed on the sheet, and the two looked at each other and stopped their movements.
One of them turned his blade downwards and carefully picked up the sheets on the couch, and at this glance, the man in black was also stunned in place, and whispered to the person next to him, "No one!"
When the man heard this, he also hurriedly stepped forward, and saw that there was indeed no one on the couch, so he was a little panicked.
"What's the matter?
When Lu Yunxi heard this, her heart tightened.
Unexpectedly, these men in black followed him all the way.
Who are they?
Lu Yunxi thought about it, but the sour gas in her stomach surged up again, and she couldn't help retching.
These retching sounds alarmed the two of them.
They immediately turned their heads and immediately saw Lu Yunxi in the darkness.
