Time is the best healing elixir, and after a few days, although Lin Bei thought that Cui Lan would sigh for a long time, he wouldn't feel so sad, life has to go on, right?

Now Lin Bei is most concerned about two things, the first is iron ore, the second is the steam carriage, and the iron ore is still the top priority, if the iron cannot be mined, the steam carriage will be difficult to form, without iron, it will not be able to build a ship.

"Now we are already mining, and in five days at most, we can bring back a batch of iron ore." An Zhong reported directly.

"Five days is fine, by the way, what about the Fengsi tribe, but what news is coming?"

"According to the news from the sergeant, the Fengsi tribe has become wary of us, they have thrown a lot of sharp logs into the Mekong River, and then intercepted them with nets, and if they find our military boats, they will release these sharp logs and wash away the boats, although it is simple, but it is extremely effective."

"Hmm." Lin Bei nodded: "They can't build big ships, and the sergeants are not as good as us looking at Haicheng, it's good to think of this method, just ignore them first." ”

The Fengsi tribe has almost no threat, and if there are no ships, they can only defend passively, and the pressure on the defending side is generally the greatest, just like guarding against thieves every day, it will collapse one day, so Lin Bei is not in a hurry, as for the Haka tribe, because it is too far away, there is little news, and they don't know if they are guarded or not.

An Zhongzhi reported the major events in the city again, and An Zhongzhi would routinely do it every two or three days, in fact, An Zhongzhi had done a good job, and he gradually became comfortable with internal affairs, and many things did not need Lin Bei's personal nod, except for some special ones.

"Yesterday, the fishermen brought back a total of more than 10,000 catties of big fish, and now they are all in the warehouse, which is being dried, and now the number of dried fish in our fish warehouse in Wanghai City has reached more than 250,000 catties, and these fish need to be processed urgently. What can you do? ”

Even if this kind of thing is more special, there are too many fish in the sea now, so it is very troublesome, when Zhen Ping came, Lin Bei actually thought about selling the fish to Zhen Ping, but then he still forgot it. Because you can't make salted fish in this era, it's not because you can't do it, but because salt is too expensive, if you make all the fish into salted fish, a fish can catch up with the price of refined salt, and this kind of fish must not be eaten by many people, and naturally dried fish are easy to spoil in summer, so it is really not easy to deal with.

"Fishermen don't eat much fish anymore, do they?"

"Yes, it is true that the taste of sea fish is not as good as that of river fish. There is always a fishy smell, and our people are not used to eating it. ”

"Then let's make fish floss, and besides, isn't my curry still coconut?"

"Yes, there are still a lot of coconuts in your store, and you want to eat some?"

Lin Bei shook his head: "No, I mean using coconut to make fish floss." ”

Lin Bei said how to make fish floss, he has never made fish floss. But I know how to make it, because the method of making fish floss is quite simple. As long as the fish, fish skin and fish bones are removed, and then mashed and fried, fried to the back, all the moisture in the fish can be turned into fish floss, of course. The fish floss made in this era is estimated to be a little unpalatable, because there are not so many seasonings, so Lin Bei is ready to soak the fish in coconut milk, remove the fishy smell with the taste of coconut milk, and the fish floss can bring the fragrance of coconut. I guess it should taste good.

After listening to this, An Zhong was overjoyed: "My lord, this method is very wonderful, although it is a bit complicated, but using it to make fish, it will not worry that people will not eat fish." ”

"Let's try it first, and if it works, follow it all."

What Lin Bei wants to do in Wanghai City is very simple, and someone will handle it when he tells him, and soon, a bowl of milky white fish floss will be served, let An Zhong pinch it a few times with his hand, the fish floss is silky, and there is a faint coconut fragrance, Lin Bei and An Zhongzhi have tried it, Lin Bei feels that it is okay, but An Zhongzhi feels that it is extremely delicious.

"My lord, it's a pity that the Moro fruit is gone, otherwise soaking the dried fish in Moro juice should have a different flavor."

"Well, the bananas are almost ripe, and when the time comes, you can squeeze the bananas into juice and use them to make this fish floss." Lin Bei also put forward other ideas.

Then the fish floss was promoted, the common people were greatly admired, thinking that after this preparation method, the taste of the fish meat was simply reborn, after the coconut water was used up, the fish fat oil to fry the fish floss taste is much better than the air-dried fish, plus it is easy to carry, the common people go out to work with some, and they can eat it directly when they rest.

Within a few days, the fish floss became the favorite food of the whole city, because this fish floss was also thought out by Lin Bei, so the fish floss also became the 'adult fish floss', and the fishermen caught the fish every day not only could not be saved, but it was not enough.

"This kind of thing, if only it could be stored for a longer period of time." The success of the fish floss encouraged Lin Bei, the fish in the sea are now as many as cow hair, Wanghai City is now guarding the treasure mountain but can not be developed, if the fish floss can be stored, maybe it can be exchanged for some money, and then let the Zhen family get some people in the Central Plains.

So how do you store fish floss? Lin Bei thought of the resin, so he began to collect it, and called the tailor Li San to come over.

"Li San, these are resins, do you have a way to incorporate resin into the fur, just like that grease?" Lin Bei doesn't understand these things, so he can only rely on professionals to make the best use of their talents.

"My lord, let the villain try." Li San is eager to try, because Lin Bei attaches great importance to craftsmen, so Li San now has a very high status, many people call him Li Sanye, Li San knows how this change came about, so for the things Lin Bei commanded, Li San has always used twelve points of thought, and he does not dare to neglect it at all.

A few days later, Li San made no progress, but Lin Bei knew that he couldn't be in a hurry, he could control his temperament now, and on this day, the first batch of iron ore was finally transported back from Linjiang City.

This batch of iron ore is a total of 50,000 catties, aside from the weight of the stone, it is estimated that there can only be four or five hundred catties of iron after smelting, although the quantity is small, but it means that Wanghai City finally has an endless supply of iron, and the iron ore is distributed and handed over to the blacksmith for smelting.

"Where's the blind Lee? Why don't you see others? Lin Bei saw that there was no blind Li in the blacksmith group.

An Zhongzhi replied: "My lord, the blind man Li has been closed for the past few days, not allowing outsiders to enter, but there are clanging sounds from time to time inside, it should be a gain, I am afraid of being disturbed." ”

"I hope so, I've been looking forward to it for a long time." Lin Bei smiled bitterly. Yes, he had been looking forward to it for a long time, originally he thought that the steam carriage would be developed soon after he threw out the principle of steam, but he didn't expect the process to be so difficult, and his current expectation has almost turned into disappointment.

"Blind Li still can't do it, if the Ma family is here. I'm afraid it will be a different look, by the way, there is also the woman named Huang Yueying. ”

For the Qingzhou Ma family, although the craftsmen say that this horse family is the world's first skilled craftsman family, but Lin Bei still feels a little empty, according to the historical information he understands, Kong Ming is the invention of the Zào in this era, the legend of the wooden ox and the horse has been passed down through the ages, and there are many records of this strange thing in the history books. However, the specific manufacturing method and process were not said, so future generations can only think out of thin air, which is extremely regrettable.

There is no doubt about Kong Ming's craftsmanship, it is quite superb, but there is one person who is estimated to be no less than Kong Ming, and maybe even higher than Kong Ming's ability, this person is the original Kong Ming's wife, Huang Yueying.

Many of the wooden oxen and flowing horses are said to have been invented by Kong Ming. However, there is also a legend that Huang Yueying taught Kong Ming the method of making zuò, and then there was a wooden ox and a flowing horse. I don't know whether this legend is true or not, I won't comment on this for the time being, but there are many legends about Huang Yueying, it is said that this woman is a famous talented woman, not only familiar with military books, but also knows astronomy and geography. It's not much better than that Cai Wenji, this legend Lin Bei had also doubted before, but until he saw the list of Sima Zheng's disciples, Lin Bei thought that Huang Yueying should be talented. And the talent is not small, I am afraid that it is underestimated by many people.

Sima Zheng is too famous in this era, alias Mr. Shuijing, for the great Confucian of the world, can be accepted by this great Confucian, and Huang Yueying is still a woman, then Huang Yueying must have the talent to make this great Confucian look at each other, if Huang Yueying is mediocre, Sima Zheng will not dare to risk the world's big and accept a woman to get started.

"It's a pity that this Huang Yueying is Brother Kong Ming's wife, although he should not have been married now, but Brother Kong Ming is in the Confucian Academy, he is handsome, talented and high, Huang Chengyan, that old guy must have taken a fancy to him, maybe it is like in history, he has proposed to Kong Ming, alas, I can't see it."

When Lin Bei sighed for a long time, Xiangyang, Jingzhou, Confucian Academy.

A white-bearded old man sneaked to the backyard of the school house, where the students stayed, this old man didn't want to steal chickens and dogs, he was a celebrity, and he was also an old guy in Lin Bei's mouth, Huang Chengyan.

"Ahem" Huang Chengyan saw that no one was paying attention to the surroundings, tidied up his clothes, held his head high, and really had the style of a celebrity, but whenever a student passed by, Huang Chengyan glanced at the student from bottom to bottom, as if he was examining a piece of meat, which often made the student run away, and there was not much left of this scholar's style.

"These students are all young and handsome, and they are worthy of being gentle, but the two old things that are angry that Sima Zheng and Pang Degong hide their best apprentices and don't let me contact them, it's really infuriating, today I want to see what these little guys are brilliant, I can't say hehe"

Like a thief, Huang Chengyan slipped into the depths of the student's dormitory, and suddenly heard the sound of reading in his ears, the voice was clear and powerful, Huang Chengyan looked at the door number of the dormitory, and there were two words on it: Zhuge .

"Zhuge Kongming? Sima Zheng, the young man who was praised by the old thing? Is it said that he has a talent for wind music? I'd like to see you. ”

Huang Chengyan pushed open the door and entered the courtyard, a clear-looking young man was sitting in front of the couch, there were books on the couch, although this person was sitting, he was tall, he heard the sound of pushing the door, looked over, Huang Chengyan secretly praised his good looks, and there was a little joy at the moment.

"This old man? Why did you come into my house? ”

"You're Kong Ming?"

"It's the students."

"What did you just read the book of the art of war? Can a subset of scriptures and histories be proficient? ”

Kong Ming frowned slightly, suddenly broke into an old man, and asked these questions again, Brother Kong Ming's cultivation is still very good: "A little dabbling." ”

"Then I'll test you?" Huang Chengyan was even more happy, this young man was really polite, he liked it, and he should be worthy of his family's grace.

"Brother Kong Mingxian?" A voice came from outside the door: "Brother Kong Mingxian is here, Yuan Zhi is visiting." ”

Kong Ming's face showed joy, and he didn't care about Huang Chengyan, walked to the door and said loudly: "But Brother Yuanzhi? ”

"Exactly."

The person outside was Shan Fu, that is, Xu Shu, followed Kong Ming into the courtyard, and saw that there was another person in the courtyard, Xu Shu frowned slightly, and made a compilation: "It turns out that Brother Kong Ming has a guest here, but Yuan Zhi is abrupt." ”

"Not abrupt, not abrupt." Huang Chengyan saw Xu Shu, his eyes lit up again, this is also a young handsome man, in addition to his handsome appearance, there is also an awe-inspiring aura on his body, but this breath is not impressive, but gives people a sense of warmth, Huang Chengyan has a very good eye, just a glance can see that this young man has an upright temperament but there is no lack of change, even among many handsome men, this person is also the dragon among the people.

Look at Xu Shu, and then look at Kong Ming, Huang Chengyan likes both, but unfortunately Wanzhen has only one, Huang Chengyan really has some happy troubles at this time, who should he choose to be a good son-in-law?

"Daddy? Why are you here? When Huang Chengyan heard it, he knew that it was his daughter's voice, so he hurriedly smiled, looked at his daughter, and wanted to say hello, and then listened to his baby daughter say happily: "Brother Shan, sure enough, you are here." ”

Huang Chengyan loves his daughter and knows his daughter's character very well, when he heard this, he could say it, and he didn't have to worry about it, that is this surname Shan. (To be continued......)
