Chapter 235: The Birth of Coke
Heishui County's flood control has begun to come to an end, although it is said that there will be a big flood this year, but it still hasn't come.
The heavy rainfall in Yunshui County did not cause much damage after flooding some farmland and houses.
Basically, as long as most of the land and houses are not flooded, it is not called a big flood.
There were some losses everywhere, some people died, and large areas of farmland were ruined, but it didn't hurt for local officials.
"It was the water level that decided that the water was in the air, and there were many sunny days in a row, but now that the water level is gradually receding, I don't have much time to work with you."
In the labor camp in the north of the city, Wang Lanling ate in the center of the square and chatted with more than 20,000 people around him.
I ate cold noodles with water, and it was served with a fried sauce that several chefs had researched together when they had nothing to do.
People in Heishui County like salty sauce, and Wang Lanling asked for a lot of salt from the official channel, so making salty sauce is naturally good and cheap.
As everyone eats every day, the price of salt could not have been the same as that of gold even in ancient times.
Unless you are dying in the desert, the price of a bottle of water is not as good as gold.
The cost of production determines the price, the price of salt is not high, ordinary people can afford to consume it, coupled with the large amount of output after industrialization, there is no shortage at all, the only restriction is only transportation and reserves.
As the principal, Wang Lanling's rice bowl is not only served with cold noodles and salty sauce, but also with sliced cucumbers and shredded green onions.
Everyone was very emotional, and before they knew it, so much time had passed.
Sun Li said: "My lord, you have worked hard! When the conscription starts again next year, the villain will definitely come to work for you again! ”
Wang Lanling smiled, "It is estimated that it will not be opened, while this conscription can be opened for a few more days, the next thing will be to bother you to work harder, help me build this place well, I want to build a one-meter-two high protective wall by the river, and engrave my name and your name on it!" ”
Bian Shiying listened to Wang Lanling's words, and said excitedly: "My lord, I want to find something to do in the city after this incident, even if I can't serve the imperial court, I want to live in peace in the city." ”
Wang Lanling nodded, "This is a good thing, the development in the city is definitely much better than in the mountains." ”
During the meal, Wang Lanling did not have the frame of an official master, and he could talk to the people around him, and everyone was familiar with Wang Lanling.
Shi Jian took the rice bowl and said, "Lord Wang, you can rest assured, before you go home, we will definitely do your thing well!" ”
Wang Lanling said politely: "Thank you very much, but it's not that you can't come over after you go home, I welcome everyone to come to the county often to do it, and when the family is not busy with farm work, you can come to the county to find something to do." ”
This land is already Wang Lanling's private property, and not only that, Wang Lanling also has to build a lot of things here.
Now the labor camp is here with hot water rooms, water mills, silk wheels, oil trucks, lookouts, squares, and various residential buildings...... and other things, although not all of them are surnamed Wang, but they are almost the same.
Li Jianzheng had already bought a house in the county, and at this time he said: "In the future, if Lord Wang needs help from anyone, just send the old man!" ”
Wang Lanling agreed, and after taking a bite of food, he said: "I think of a thing, most of you here are some young and strong young men, many of them are not married, so let's do it, I will organize a sorority later, and anyone who is not married can participate." ”
Bian Shiying said curiously: "My lord, what is a sorority?" ”
Wang Lanling explained: "It is a meeting for single men and women who are not married, only people over the age of fifteen are allowed to participate, and those who have wives or concubines cannot participate, and it is a woman who chooses a man, this kind of thing cannot be forced, I will introduce you to both sides at most, and the details depend on your own meaning." ”
The scene immediately became excited, among the 20,000 people, basically all are male laborers, and marriage is an irresistible temptation for these people.
The requirements for men in this era are not as high as in modern society, and basically as long as they are not disabled and have the strength, they can marry a wife.
Fields can be rented, livestock can be slowly saved to buy, and houses can be built by themselves.
For example, those who have high requirements for the man's family property and talent are basically people with money and status, and this kind of person is still a minority.
"Don't be happy too early, even if you participate, you may not be able to marry a daughter-in-law, but those who perform well, I remember!" Wang Lanling's voice sank suddenly, and directly suppressed the voices of the people nearby, and the scene suddenly fell silent.
His voice was not loud at all, and his internal strength had not been cultivated for several months.
There were also a lot of people whispering outside, a large area of chatter, but when the people near Wang Lanling shut up, just like a wave, the people outside gradually realized the importance of keeping their mouths.
Many people don't know what Wang Lanling is talking about, they sit far away, but when it's time to shut up, they will shut up.
"The leaders of each group will be in the group for a period of time excellent performance, willing to work, down-to-earth work of those people listed to report to Hu Wangxiang, this kind of thing don't pay attention to human feelings, all the trouble is pushed on me, I know who is a bastard, who is perfunctory, who is the real worker!"
"If you report the names of those bastards, I will punish you and him together, so this kind of thing is forgotten, when others ask you for intercession, they say that I will definitely find out, and in fact it is true."
"There are also people who have made excellent suggestions in cooking, construction, transportation, maintenance, processing, etc., and I also remember that these people can get a store for free from me to do business, and I will waive your rent for three years, and I will sign and draw a mortgage with me after a while."
"People who go to Yunshui County and Lingtong County to do business, I will decide later, these people can't lose the face of our Heishui County, I will personally be responsible for training, explain some things that need attention, these people will be selected from us and the people in the county, and priority will be given to those who lend us things."
As with the soldiers who go into battle to kill the enemy, the fairness of the reward will determine the initiative in the next job.
Generous remuneration can make soldiers sacrifice their lives to fight, and can also make their subordinates do some dangerous things.
Spiritual encouragement alone will not make a difference.
Everyone listened nervously, but Wang Lanling quickly stopped talking.
"Let's eat, let's eat, it's not over yet, it's not a celebration party, if it's a celebration party, just this cold noodles are too shabby."
Shi Jian said loudly: "Not shabby, not shabby!" The cold noodles are delicious! When I get home, I won't be able to eat the noodles pressed by this machine! ”
The people around him laughed and continued to eat the noodles.
When it wasn't raining, there weren't many things in the camp that needed to be dealt with by Wang Lanling personally, and many times they were idle.
Most of the things are on track, but it's also nearing the end.
Wang Lanling didn't want to take a nap after eating, so he went to the camp to see the people in the craftsman's workshop.
Relying on some observations, Wang Lanling put forward a lot of ideas, and the people in the craftsman's workshop were responsible for making these ideas.
The noodle machine is a success story, and there are many other products besides this.
What we're making right now is a popcorn machine, the old-fashioned hand-cranked popcorn machine that needs to be roasted on the stove for a while and then popped.
This thing is more dangerous, but fortunately, people in this era often make some dangerous things, such as guns, traps, racks and dangerous chemical devices, so they are more courageous, and there are some protective equipment.
However, because it involves some physics problems, high school students need to cooperate with the research.
The head screw, the big elbow, the small elbow, the cover, the afterburner tube, the cotter pin, the shaking hand, basically everything that can be done, and now I have also made a few pots of popcorn, which injured two people, and is doing follow-up optimization to solve these problems.
The wounded were sent to the hospital by Wang Lanling, and at the same time, Wang Lanling would be responsible for selling popcorn after receiving these people, and supporting their families for some money-making people.
Wang Lanling often came to the craftsman's workshop to see the situation, and after watching for a while, he went to the nearby toilet.
Generally, big problems, Wang Lanling is to solve the problem on his own exclusive ceramic bidet toilet, and the small one is casual, just a toilet.
Just as he was about to enter the toilet, Wang Lanling saw Wang Ni come out with a bucket.
"Wang Ni, why are you in charge of cleaning the toilet?" Wang Lanling greeted Wang Ni curiously.
Wang Ni was one of the few people who escaped the arrest of the county town, he was working in the camp at the time, and those who caught fast did not dare to arrest people in Wang Lanling's camp.
The matter of separating the family has little to do with Wang Ni, although there is one less place to eat and sleep, but now it is more free, and because of the ability to show, there is no shortage of places to eat and sleep.
Hearing Wang Lanling's words, Wang Ni quickly put down the bucket and said, "Lord Wang! ”
"You don't need to be so polite, what are you doing?" Wang Lanling looked at the bucket, it was clear water.
Wang Ni explained: "I saw that there was a lot of calcium scale on the iron sheet of the toilet that could not be washed off, and the water could not be flushed, so I made some carbonated water, which can dissolve calcium." ”
"Oh, carbonated water, it's true, calcium can be broken down by this." Wang Lanling nodded, he knew this.
When Wang Ni saw that Wang Lanling understood this, he felt that it was something that should be done, something he understood, how could Lord Wang not understand? The wife is a college student, and the concubine is a chemistry expert!
"Then I'll go back to work, my lord, please come in." Wang Ni quickly gave way to Wang Lanling and did not delay Wang Lanling to go to the toilet.
When Wang Lanling was about to go in, he suddenly thought of something.
Carbonated water...... This thing seems to be drinkable, right?
Wait a minute...... Isn't that what Coke and Sprite are going to do?
Wang Lanling looked at Wang Ni'er, who was carrying a bucket to the next toilet to wash the tin urinal trough, and felt full of troughs.
Do you want to remind him that this thing can be used as a drink?
Wang Lanling thought about it, but forgot it, it was unacceptable for people here to take the things that flushed the toilet as drink, especially the people in the county town......
But if you drink something and flush the toilet, there will be no problem.
"Wait a minute, write a letter, and let Rea point out the technology of Coke, the patent is Reah's."
Xiao Wang walked into the clean toilet, and while releasing water in a happy mood, he was thinking about making money.
