Zhang San suddenly remembered the chili pepper he brought and said, "Qian Jin, do you remember the chili pepper you ate during the Chinese New Year?" ”

Qian Jin's eyes lit up and asked, "The chili pepper that the third brother said is now available?" ”

Zhang San nodded and said: "Well, it can only be supplied in small quantities now, and it can only be supplied with a few special snacks from Yixing Hutchison, and it can be supplied on a large scale from next year, and it can be supplied as a rare seasoning at that time."

Qian Jin rolled his eyes when he heard it and said: "In this way, those few who imitate us will not be able to copy it, third brother, you don't know, there are still a few small tiles who are learning from our appearance and also watching plays and selling snacks for free, and even the plays on the stage are copied from us, if we are not famous now, we will be compared to them." ”

Qian Jin said angrily: "They not only imitate these, they also build chess and card rooms, as well as casinos, and now many people in the capital like to come to mahjong or poker, but they have robbed many of our guests." And our sixteen incense has also begun to be imitated. ”

Zhang San smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm going to publish a newspaper recently, and when the time comes, we will advertise our business, and then our fame will naturally increase, and these people just make a little money, don't care." ”

Despite such and such shortcomings, but Qian Jin's overall results are still good, Zhang San encouraged him a few words, he took the chili powder to study the usage, Zhang San calculated, originally planned to listen to the meeting report in the evening, but now it seems that all the projects have been reported to themselves, and things are much simpler at night.

In the afternoon, Zhang San walked around the nearby workshops, it seemed that the production of each workshop, the kiln factory had added a furnace, when Zhang San came, he saw Li Si and the old kiln workers studying the firing of road bricks, Zhang San saw that they were making molds according to the style of the road bricks on the drawings Zhang San did not disturb.

Next, I went to see the coke oven, because it had little to do with him before, Zhang San didn't care too much, but now that it has become his own industry, Zhang San naturally wants to study it carefully.

Now the so-called coking here does not have the concept of a furnace at all, or the original coke smelting method, that is, digging pits and stacking coal, sealing the furnace and watering several steps, but the coking rate is less than 40%, and the purity of coke is not high, and the content of impurities is large.

Big families like the Jia family and the Gao family have their own coking plants, and they have their own coke ships, and Pang Shun does not dare to move. This coke is the main source of coke for ordinary blacksmiths in Tokyo, so the quality of the coke here determines the quality of the iron produced in the entire Tokyo blacksmith shop.

Zhang Sanhu reminded him of a problem that he ignored, he made high-quality coke in Tokyo, so the quality of steelmaking and ironmaking in the next step will be greatly improved, which seems to bring him huge profits in the short term, but in the long run, this behavior is simply a capital enemy.

In fact, the key to the production of guns in ancient times is a design concept and the problem of materials, if high-quality steel is popularized on a large scale, and then the Song army captured its own weapons in battle, imitation is simply like playing.

Zhang San wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, fortunately, Pang Shun didn't run directly by himself last year, otherwise he might really have a hot brain and get out of the coke oven and the large steelmaking furnace, and the picture of the two firearms troops colliding at that time is not too beautiful.

Zhang San immediately called the steward, backfilled some coking pits that had not been produced, leveled the land, and gradually reduced the production of coke here, and arranged the workers vacated by the coke plant to go to the kiln factory, and the kiln factory was the main one in the next stage.

Then there is the spice workshop, there are more than a hundred meters away from the courtyard A strong smell of spices permeated the air, after the spice workshop continued to expand, Zhang San already had plans to make it independent, so this courtyard was specially built for him, because of the secrecy of the supervision here is stricter than other workshops.

Into the first cross-courtyard is a cart and donkey cart loading goods, now the carton has not been developed, so all the spices are contained in wooden crates, the box is a square wooden box with a length, width and height of one and a half feet, Zhang San watched the workers lift the boxes to the car, the boxes are printed with sixteen incense, five-spice powder, secret marinade and so on.

Further inside is the packaging workshop, in front of which is the mixing workshop, and further on are the various mills, each stone mill is fixed to grind a seasoning, and the configuration process is in the hands of the reassuring people.

At present, this workshop is managed by the monkey mother, and the original spice workshop is now given to the elderly to live, after all, it is not suitable for people to see that the courtyard is full of old men and old ladies as soon as they enter the compound, so the old man moves to the east across the courtyard, and the children live in the front yard.

In the next stage, Zhang San will build a special nursing home on the vacant land next to the school, and the children who temporarily live here will also move to the new market near the dock, and the house here will be used as a accommodation and training ground for the core disciples.

With the moderate reduction in production in the coking area, the air pollution problem that has been plaguing Zhang San has also been solved, and the kiln factory is set up two miles northeast of the entire workshop area, and it is theoretically impossible for Tokyo to blow the northeast wind in two places in a year.

In the end, Zhang San went to the ironworks, originally Zhang San planned to select a group of excellent blacksmiths from Tokyo to deceive them to Sea Shark Island, who knew that there were also many blacksmith shops in Jiangnan, so Zhang San was not in a hurry to do this now.

The iron workshops here have expanded considerably, and there are first dozens of furnaces dedicated to the production of coal hammers and farm tools. There are also some daily items in the production of fire scissors, iron sets, door shafts, iron pots and so on.

The fire scissors have been ignored by Zhang San, and Zhang San himself has not tried the stove himself, so he has not found this problem until he saw a stove stick to clamp it when changing briquettes in the kitchen, and he remembered such a thing.

In addition to the original iron fan casting area, there is a special agricultural tool forging area, although the Gao family sent a few blacksmiths to bring annealing and tempering technology, but the iron fan casting is always not as good as the quality of forged farm tools, although the price is low, but the cost performance is not very high.

Zhang San now wanted the blacksmiths to improve the quality of iron casting, and promised a reward of 500 yuan for this, but there was no improvement in the past few months. Of course, Zhang San didn't know that the Americans had been studying this kind of iron casting for nearly 50 years after the Industrial Revolution. Otherwise, he would have to consider stopping the study.

Compared with the iron mold casting process can not be solved, the sand mold casting process has indeed made significant progress, after Zhang San gave the proportion of molding sand, sand mold casting in the casting of some large objects showed its huge advantages.

First of all, compared to the mud mold, which takes a month to dry at every turn, the sand mold almost does not need to wait for who to use, and because the clay mold is always easy to residual water vapor to affect the quality, the air permeability of the sand is better than that of the soil, so the casting plough and other materials have almost no bubbles and rarely produce cracks.

In addition to this big blacksmith workshop, Zhang San also went to see the small workshop, this small workshop is used to produce weapons, so the scale is not very large, and recently Zhang San has no quantitative requirements, so these people are all striving for excellence, Zhang San does not want them to create a magic weapon, but at least to ensure that the weapons and components are of high quality.
