Ouyang Chen came to the beacon shop again, urging Shen Yue to hurry up the spinning, after a day and a night of drying, the wool has been dried, and the smell is not as heavy as before, just a little peculiar smell, Pinglan has some obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he is not at ease, so he came up with a way to pile the wool into the house and smoke it with incense to completely remove the odor.

Because the wool fiber is not very long, so there is some difference between spinning the thread and cotton, Shen Yue has seen the photos posted by some experts on the Internet in later generations, before spinning, the hair must be thinned, there is a special wool comb, it looks like a nail bed used by jugglers to perform, dense nails are densely distributed on a wooden board, the main function is to loosen the wool fiber, so that it can be fluffy to the maximum extent, so that when spinning, you can pull out a very long fiber and constantly.

And hand-spinning has two kinds of mallet spinning and spinning wheel spinning, this time it is urgent, Shen Yue has no time to test the cotton spinning wheel to spin wool, so he has to use mallet spinning first, anyway, there are enough people, these wool is estimated to be spun in half a day, the mallet is simple to do, a disc through the middle of the long wooden stick, like a large spinning top, the wool line through the small iron ring fixed at the top of the wooden stick, driven by the rotation of the disc, around the wooden stick.

Although it was the first time to make a backpack, wool was stronger than twine and cotton thread, and the thread was thicker, so the wool was quickly spun.

The next thing is to knit sweaters, but Shen Yue is not good at this, he just saw his mother knitting at home when he was a child, and he helped out more, where do he know how to knit sweaters, except for knowing how to prepare more bamboo skewers, he can't remember anything, so he has to explain the general method a little in front of these female workers, so that they can understand it themselves.

Don't say that the ancients were stupid, soon a few women figured out the weaving method, Shen Yue checked it, it seems that it is also feasible, although it is only a simple object that can weave a long strip such as a scarf, but this is also needed in the future, as long as they are given more time to explore, I believe that more complex weaving methods can also be figured out, and then sweaters, gloves, and socks can be used. Especially when I go to Shenyang in the future, the weather is too cold, if I can wear cashmere socks, it will be much more comfortable.

In addition, knitting alone can only make some small items such as sweaters and scarves, Shen Yue let people experiment with wool thread weaving, made into larger blankets, there will be a lot of wool waiting to be recycled in the future, and more uses must be developed.

Seeing that success was in sight, Ouyang Chen was overjoyed, patted Shen Yue's shoulder and said,

"This wool mutton should be fine, the old man is half of his heart, but how is the corn stalk as feed, this is the most important thing, if this item is missing, we will have less constraints on those foreigners in the future, and when we go to collect sheep in the future, they will ask for a sky-high price."

He knew that Shen Yue was going south soon, so he hurried to supervise and make a good foundation for these things as soon as possible, and his future was all bet on it.

"It should be about the same, those brewers are craftsmen for decades, and they also have some experience with the method I said, let's find a few sheep to try and see if they like to eat."

Ouyang Chen hurriedly ordered his subordinates to find sheep, hot pot has become popular in the city in the past few days, it is already hard to find, and it is not easy to find two thin sheep, probably because the store sees that these two sheep are too small, and it is not cost-effective to slaughter them now, so raise the fat first, otherwise it would have already entered the stomach of the guest.

In a hidden courtyard, the brewers carefully brought out a few small clay jars, where they ate and lived for the past few days, and there were people from the shops and yamen outside.

Although this feed fermentation is simpler than the wine-making process, they don't dare to be sloppy, there are not many corn stalks, and they have to wait for a year to run out, and Shen Dongjia and the county magistrate have said that these things are treasures for the benefit of the country and the people, and they are much more precious than those wines.

Shen Yue ordered someone to remove the mud seal at the mouth of the tank, and a faint aroma of wine came out, and the fermented feed was divided into several piles and poured on the ground, still a little wet, green and yellow in color.

The reason why the straw is fermented is to convert the crude fiber into nutrients that can be absorbed by the animal, and improve the digestion, absorption and utilization rate of the crude fiber of the animal, which can not only make the straw feed soft and expanded, but also have a mellow, sour and fruity aroma, and can also increase the reproduction of beneficial microorganisms in the animal's stomach and intestines, and improve immunity.

But after all, there is no suitable testing method now, so these sheep eaters have to choose according to their own tastes.

The two sheep have a keen sense of smell, and soon come up to chew it, ignoring the grass on the side, pulling the two sheep to taste a few piles of feed, and finally select a bunch of the most popular feed, so that the formula and process can be determined.

Seeing the sheep eating with relish, everyone was relieved, more comfortable than eating the food themselves, and the hard work of the past few days was finally not in vain.

Ouyang Chen hurriedly asked people to pull the sheep away, carefully collected the remaining feed into a delicate jar, sealed and wrapped, he planned to send it back to the capital as a sample, and cared for the jar in his arms like a child.

"These are just the most basic feeds, and in the future, when there is more food, you can also add cornstarch, bean dregs and the like, which is much better than this." Shen Yue looked at him with the appearance of a miser, crying and laughing.

"It's enough to have this, and adding so many things is too expensive, people can't eat enough, how can they take care of the animals, if it's not about the safety of the frontier, why don't I want to worry about those herdsmen, let's go to the front yard to see, those girls should be about to weave the finished product, I will choose the best wool scarf, and send it to the emperor, his old man must be happy."

Pinglan was polite this time, not only gave a scarf, but also sent a lot of good soap lotion, Shen Yue had already explained to her, this time Ouyang Chen sent someone into Beijing again, it was to set up an office in Beijing in the capital, and when the time came, it was indispensable to give gifts everywhere, and the real money did not dare to take it out, these fresh goods were just right, and it could be regarded as making some preparations for the opening of the market in the capital by the beacon company.

Dealing with the leader's inspection is a troublesome matter, and it is not easy to send Ouyang Chen away, Shen Yue took a breath, and finally the important things are arranged, and he can set off with peace of mind in a few days. For the rich and prosperous land south of the Yangtze River in ancient times, Shen Yue's heart was full of expectations.

In addition, you can also meet Shen Wansan, who is also a traverser, but he has a lot of things to say to him, although he has gradually gained a foothold in the past few months, there are more and more depressions and doubts in his heart, can he still travel back? Will what you do backfire? What is the way forward? None of this is known, people are always lonely and want to find someone of the same kind to talk to.
