Chapter 384: Wool

After watching Hongjiang, I went to see Shi Da again.

Shi Da saw Su You: "Little master, Lao Hong's movement is big, I'm not so noisy." ”

Su You looked at the rumbling stone crusher: "It's not much better on your side, how is the cement burning?" ”

Shi Da said: "Okay, good, the ore here is of high quality. That is, the sulfur mine has to come from Chang'an, when will the components of this four-wheeled carriage arrive? ”

Su You said: "The road has not been repaired, and the carriage is not long, isn't this a road being repaired." ”

Shi laughed and said: "We have cement, this section of the road is much easier to repair than Shuzhong!" ”

Su You said: "It costs money everywhere...... The more cement, the emptier my wallet will be, young master......"

Shi Da also had some relatives: "That's it, fortunately, the labor here is cheap, otherwise it would be scary!" ”

Su You touched his chin: "I don't know if I can find the imperial court to transfer a few van troops over, anyway, those people are also eating idle meals...... No, no, Weizhou can't afford to support them now......"

Shi Da said: "Then make more jade porcelain and earn more cattle and sheep to come back." ”

Su You patted his head: "Oops! Remind me, you're busy first, there's been a lot going on lately. ”

Longshou Village is a model village for Suyou to grasp, where in addition to applying nitrogen fertilizer to wheat and sheep to pigs, there are also hay warehouses and green storage warehouses.

The green reservoir is experimental in nature, with ammonia and yeast, it is actually very simple.

Dig a pit in the ground and smear it with cement, and it is a green storage kiln.

After chopping the forage, mix it with ammonia and yeast, then cover it with a cement slab and cover it with tarpaulin and mud, and it is ready to be saved.

Of course, it is not possible to use alfalfa, and the corn straw of the later generation is the method, and Suyou uses sorghum that is about to mature.

The use of yeast alarmed Xue Xiangdu, and he hurriedly ran over to check, but the koji medicine was specialized!

When Su You told Xue Xiangyi about the importance of Qingchu, Xue Xiang, who was about to go crazy with his horse, waved his hand, Weizhou is a special zone, and if you produce yeast by yourself, you will not collect it...... Hey, if you don't know how to make some wine, how about directly producing high-grade wine in Weizhou and then selling it to Yiren?

Su You said that the transfer of capital makes you really good idea, but first you have to have food that can make people full and fill the warehouse, otherwise people will have nothing to eat, you use the food to make wine, just wait to be impeached and demoted.

Angry, Xue flicked his sleeve and left angrily.

Feng Lizheng now admires Xiao Su Tanhua so much, and opening and closing his mouth is how our Su Xiaotanhua is.

Fifty sheep are growing day by day, and they were all released before, but now they are raised.

The villagers of Longshou Village did not work hard in general, after repairing the canal, they followed by laying the canal slabs; The women delivered food, fed the pigs and sheep and weededs; After the slabs were laid, the men came back to harvest the first crop of alfalfa and make forage.

Then there is the division of sheep, the lambs are not enough, the small tanhua is given larger, many are shelf sheep, alfalfa grains are given, it is as long as blowing.

Xiao Tanhua said that he also sprinkled the water filtered out of the saline ground on the sheep forage, and he didn't know what the road was, and the second grandson next door tried to be lazy and didn't listen, hehehe, his sheep were not as good as my family.

What are you kidding, Xiao Tanhua's knowledge, I heard that farming and raising sheep are all published books! Today's Queen Mother is personally in charge!

The young man, named Little Stone, had built many workshops along the canal, and now the wheat was not yet ripe, but the big wooden water wheel was already spinning.

He who makes hemp rope, hammers pulp, grinds flour, and cuts wood......

What made Feng Lizheng full of praise were the two hydraulic lawn cutters that Xiao Tanhua gave to the village.

The head of the water wheel shaft is replaced with an S-shaped large blade, and two knives are cut in each turn, and people only need to send straw to the front at the back.

This thing will never stop, or it will not be used well, Feng Lizheng thinks that it is a bad thing, so he arranges three shifts of manpower, and he does it without stopping.

Feng Laohan's idea is very simple, in addition to those that are made into forage, it is more convenient for sheep to eat, isn't it?!

What kind of ammonia water sent by the barrel truck, in addition to being used as a green store, can also be applied to the ground, and then the wheat will grow crazy.

Xiao Tanhua said that this is just a preliminary matter, and there will be better fertilizers in the future.

Hearing that Xiao Tanhua was coming today, Feng Laohan waited under the big jujube tree at the entrance of the village early in the morning.

There are a total of five counties in Weizhou, and Xiaotanhua loves to come to our village, and other villages are envious of it!

A group of men and horses, dressed in black and black armor, dragged several four-wheeled carts behind them, and it was impossible to see who was the leader.

When the horse team stopped, a handlebar type jumped down from the second carriage, and the felt hat was taken off: "The old man is waiting so early?" ”

Feng Lizheng took a look: "Ouch, why is the little official dressed up like this?!" ”

Su You said with a smile: "I have to work, I have never sheared wool, so I came to learn from it." What about sheep? ”

Feng Lizheng said with a smile: "In the circle, the old man has no family, the big circle used, the small official, there is a big happy event!" ”

"Oh? Is your bride pregnant again? Congratulations, old man, I have few people in northern Shaanxi, Weizhou New Deal, add Ding to the family, and the government is going to send wine and lambs......"

"Really? Ouch, that's a shame! No, isn't it...... The bride didn't get pregnant, but a few of my ewes got pregnant! ”

Su You really didn't understand this: "What do you mean?" Is this a cause for celebration? ”

Feng Lizheng smiled: "Of course! Cattle and sheep are in estrus in autumn and winter, and now it is the middle of summer! This must be Tanhualang's ability! ”

With a black line in my head, I don't have the ability to make ewes pregnant!

But Su You thinks it's amazing, and the sheep also know how to keep warm**?

Well, this is not the focus of today, after saying goodbye to Feng Lizheng, the group began to enter the circle to shear sheep.

Even if the sheep are docile, the big rams are not so easy to provoke, not to mention the strength, and they are still in a hurry.

Su You tried a few times, and finally gave up reluctantly, and beckoned to Feng Lizheng: "In the future, except for the remaining rams, the rest of the little lambs will be castrated when they are born!" The tail should also be cut so that the feces do not stick to the tail and cause infection. Oh, I'm exhausted......"

The price of sheep in the northwest is too cheap, a sheep is only 500 Wen, Su You is given according to the wool of each sheep 100 Wen, and the size is given together with three Shu banknotes.

Feng Laohan trembled with Shu money, this is the salary of a person who does not eat or drink for half a month after he comes to Xiaotanhua.

In previous years, the melon and vegetables were put in half a year's grain, and the family never made up a consistent whole number.

I don't know how to express my gratitude, so I want to put down my head and give meat to Xiao Tanhua.

Su You touched the back of the sheep that had been cut clean: "What are you doing to kill it, it's not time yet, the family has a little money, so it's serious to buy some farm tools and pull two feet of cloth for your daughter-in-law to make new clothes." This sheep is well raised, and if it is raised, someone will come to collect it if it can't be eaten. ”

This is a real windfall profit, today's Bianliang, a sheep is worth three times, and the price difference is six times in between.

The remaining question is how to deliver the shelf quality mutton to Xijing, which is 1,000 miles away, and Tokyo, which is 3,000 miles away.

With a lot of wool, Su You returned to Weizhou.

The big workshop in the south of the city was officially launched.

This is a major event for the Su family, the Su family weaving experts brought by Su Mouse's classmates, have been playing soy sauce for so long, and they are waiting for this day.

From coarse wool to wool, there are many processes in the middle, and Su You's temperament has always been to control the upstream, so the main grasp is the velvet line.

He is not prepared to eat the whole industry chain directly, as in the winemaking industry, only to process until the combed wool tops, and at most the dyed wool yarn is made.

The raw wool contains a large number of impurities, which are first coarsely sorted to remove large volumes of impurities.

Then use the dehairing machine to open and remove impurities from the tangled raw wool into lumps, the principle is to use two hydraulic rollers with different speeds, and use the upper teeth to comb and pull the raw hair, so that the raw wool becomes fluffy and the impurities are removed.

The wool is then fed into the washing tank, soaked in a low-temperature soap solution, and pushed, squeezed and washed with water by rollers to remove oil stains and fine impurities in the wool.

The wool is then fed into a roller to remove the moisture and air-dried in a cool place.

At this time, the wool also contains a large number of plant fibers, and it is also necessary to soak the grass hairs in dilute sulfuric acid solution, then dry, bake, and make the grass weeds into fragile charcoal, and separate them from the wool through combing, and remove the residual acidic substances on the surface of the wool after washing, and add oil to moisten after drying, and it can become a textile material.

Before the kerosene comes out, you can only use glycerin to top it first.

This whole set of methods, using a variety of machinery and reagents in the middle, plus the subsequent dyeing process, is absolutely ahead.

And there is a generation gap, and I am not afraid that Western Xia and Liao will learn.
