Chapter 1160 Chat

The new canal from Bianjing to Zhengzhou is one-third more open than it was 20 years ago.

After the regulation of the water storage project along the way, the hydraulic power of this canal can now be passed by boats even in the dry season.

It is not enough to solve the water problem, and this section of the river will freeze in winter.

The Department of Canals handed over the task to the Polytechnic, which invented the ice-breaking ploughshare and the elastic ice-breaking hammer used on the pier, but it could only solve the problem of freezing near the pier, not on the river.

In the end, there was no way, and the River Drainage Division offered a reward to the society for a solution to the problem.

In the end, the bounty worth thirty yuan was won by a mechanic, and the method was outrageously simple - to open a night flight.

The main reason for the freezing of the river is that there is no ship to break the ice at night, and the solution is to open night sailing, so that there are boats sailing back and forth on the river at night, and then install the icebreaking ploughshare on the ship every once in a while, which is enough to solve the problem of freezing.

Nowadays, the brightness of the gas lamp is very high, and it is enough to meet the river lighting, and the river canal department has done experiments and found that the real mud code is feasible!

Moreover, after the opening of night flights, the transportation volume of Bianqu has been increased by more than half, and many things that need to be kept secret are more convenient to transport at night.

In order to solve the safety problem, the River Canal Department also set up navigation lights along the way, stipulated traffic rules, and added health posts and post stations along the way, and by the way, the night lighting of the land road from Bianjing to Zhengzhou and the problem of the health post station were also solved.

Because the land route is on the edge of the Bianqu.

Su You's level is now very high, and Zhao Ji designated Di Yong to personally accompany him to escort him.

It is the tradition of the Great Song Dynasty that the governor of the border state is filled by a military minister, and Di Yong has now received an appointment to govern the ring state, while his younger brother Di Zhi is going to Hebei.

Therefore, this time Di Yong carried out the task of escort by the way.

However, Su You did not accompany Di Yong, and when Di Yong was still waiting for the Ministry of Rites to issue the flag, he had already boarded the Cao boat to transport supplies to Zhengzhou with Zhang Qi and Cheng Yue.

Originally, Su You was reluctant to let Zhang Qi go with him, after all, Lu Qi had a body.

On the contrary, it was Lu Zhen who was not at ease with Su You, so Zhang Qi had to follow.

The three of them are still old routines, the reader takes the appearance of a scholar and a bodyguard, the boat boss has seen a lot like this, and comforted Su You and said that he will go back and study for two more years, and he will definitely go to high school next time.

This year, there is a test, which is to take Su oil as a test.

This is a fleet, mixed public and private, mainly pulling grain, in addition to all kinds of canned food, spray glue waterproof linen, dibutin soles, and some chemical raw materials.

Su You and the others took a private boat, and Shen Kuo completely inherited Zhang Fangping and Xue Xiang's Cao Yun management methods, adopted such a way of supervision, and set a reward for reporting, and the behavior of greedy ink and grain was effectively curbed.

Moreover, the Cao Ding of the public ship was not allowed to go ashore, and it was necessary to sail all the way to Luokoucang to calculate the ration consumption and wages and grain, and the rest to be put into storage.

As for the rest of the supplies, it is easier to handle, and even if the officials and ship owners withhold it, they will not be able to cash it out, but they do not have to worry about their greed.

In this way, Su You chatted with the captain of the ship while heading towards Zhengzhou.

There are also several locks in the middle, and the gatekeeper first lifts the locks, puts the fleet in, and seals the locks to store water, and when the water level is up, the ships can continue to sail.

This is also a helpless thing, the amount of water in the winter of the Bianqu is like this, even after a lot of transformation, but the navigation conditions are not superior.

Although it is a bit troublesome, it is already an incomparably huge progress to be able to turn the winter and spring from being navigable.

The boss of the boat is a talker, and it is estimated that it is also caused by the loneliness and loneliness of the long-term boat, and Su You is also interested in the Caoyun career, and the two chatted quite lonely all the way.

After a day's sailing, in the evening, the boat arrived in Banqiao Town, Su You directly occupied the kitchen, and asked Zhang Qi to go to the market town to buy vegetables, chickens and fish, set up a table, and opened a jar of Yongchun dew, beckoning the boat boss to sit down and eat together.

The boat boss didn't dare to shout, all the way down the boat boss admired Su You's knowledge and experience, and everything on the Cao Yun could be said in a Taoist way, and those things that he didn't notice in the perennial boat were known to have its usefulness after Su You's talk.

This is not something that ordinary scholars can do, and the boat boss has more and more admiration for the scholar class of the Great Song Dynasty.

In front of him, he couldn't get into the Jinshi, how powerful is the old man who carries his fame in the court? It should really be the lower realm of Wenqu Star.

Su You poured a glass for the boat boss: "So, read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, and follow you all the way Lao Li has also gained knowledge." Come, I would like to toast you, this weather is also hard to sail outside. ”

Lao Li was also embarrassed: "The guests rent a boat, and the meal is logically cooked by the host, which turns into an old man bothering the guests, but he suffers it." ”

Su You said with a smile: "That's how it is when you go out, you should help each other, you don't have to fly at night tonight, then eat and drink well, rest early, and nourish your spirit." Come, try this mushroom chicken soup pot. ”

This pot of chicken soup has been stewed in soy oil for half a day, and then I added dried mushrooms, dried yellow flowers, dried bamboo shoots, and now there is a plate of chicken breast meatballs, a plate of luncheon meat strips, a plate of chicken blood soup, and the rest is enough cabbage.

There was a small copper pot in front of each person, and under the pot was a kind of fuel that Lao Li had never seen before, snow-white clots, but the flame was fainter than a candle, and most importantly, there was no smoke.

The seasoning is a kind of sauce added to leek flowers, and a spoonful of chicken broth is added.

Lao Li didn't know that it was konjac sauce on Nanhai Road, a high-end product made of peppercorns, and in Bianjing City, a small bottle of seasoning was a discussion, and the value was comparable to the famous Xiaolongtuan tea.

Lao Li had never eaten such a delicacy in his life, and asked cautiously: "Mr. Ancestor, have you ever been a big official?" ”

Su You said with a smile: "It's true, but it was the period of the former dynasty and the martial arts queen." But how did the old man know? ”

Lao Li said with a smile: "The old man has lived all his life, and he has never eaten such wonderful wine and food...... That's what it is...... The storyteller talks about the golden wine, and the jade plate delicacies? So I think Mr. Ancestor must have been a big official. ”

Su You smiled: "It's not so exaggerated, it's actually still a home-cooked dish, but it's just a little more effort, Lao Li hurry up and eat, this ball belongs to you, I like this plate of tender tofu......"

Drink wine and eat vegetables, and finally put a handful of silver silk noodles into the soup, sprinkle a handful of bean sprouts to make warping vegetables, Su You also regretted: "If this is in Wei's, add pea tips to be refreshing......"

The two chatted while eating, and Su You asked: "Lao Li, you can't make money on this trip, no matter how much I look at it, how much difference can there be from Bianjing to Zhengzhou to pull grain, even if it is noodles?" ”

Lao Li said: "That is, it is true that pulling these things does not make money, but there is another benefit." ”

"Oh?" Su You became interested: "Let's hear it?" ”

Lao Li said: "There are several large workshops and factories in Bianjing, and the consumption of noodles and flour is very large, and it is true that they can't make a lot of money by pulling goods for them, but the merchants who pull goods for them can buy goods from them, and it is much easier to talk." ”

"I see. Lao Li, you will do business. Su You understood: "Then pull some Zhengzhou goods to Xijing, that's appropriate, right?" ”

Lao Li said with a smile: "I have a nephew of my family, who is the little steward of the enamel factory, and if I bring some enamel utensils over there, the freight of this section will be filled." ”

Now the folk enamel products are all blue-green bases, because the light blue-green glaze fruit is the cheapest.

In order to attract buyers, in addition to spray paint, producers also invented the applique process, just like window grilles, carved onto the primed enamel products, and sprayed red again, and the fired utensils will look much better.

Although things are not expensive, the process is required, such as making a tire, it must be a wrought iron sheet, which is thin and soft, and easy to stamp.

Sitong doesn't do these now, but stamping machines, wrought iron sheets, and various colors of enamel glazes.

As for what to make and what patterns to add, it will be handed over to the vast number of wise working people.

Now Shaanxi folk, if there is no set of red circles drawn up and down, and a pair of enamel basins, spittoons, tea cups, rice bowls, and the team of relatives cannot raise their heads in the mother's family.

Su You smiled: "This method is very good, has the manufacturer added the tax to you?" ”
