Chapter 421: Daji Six
Su Daji admires Ji'an's younger sister, who is smart and lucky. The people of the Sioux tribe weave nets in order to catch wild beasts with nets. But Ji'an weaves the nets very tightly, and the holes are very small, which is used for fishing, and the number of fish caught is much greater than that of spearfish with wooden forks. Kean also makes sake, but instead of wasting grain, it is made from sour and hard-to-eat fruits, and the taste is even more delicious than that made from grain. All of these fruit wines were sold to the Yin Shang country, in exchange for a large number of materials and efforts for the Su tribe.
Ji'an also spun wool yarn and used two wooden sticks to weave the wool into warm clothes and trousers, so that the tribesmen did not have to suffer from the cold in winter; Ji'an uses a toothbrush made of pig hair to clean her teeth, which makes Su Daji the happiest. A beautiful woman can't tolerate having a mouthful of yellow teeth; I still use it......
Su Daji found that Ji'an had done a lot of things, although they were all small things, but together they made a huge change in the Su tribe. Perhaps, calculating that she was not reborn, the Su tribe in this life would not fall to the end of the previous life, right? Maybe under the influence of Ji'an, the Su tribe will be able to fight against Di Xin?
Su Daji was full of expectations for this sister - originally there was jealousy, but after seeing that what Ji'an did was for the good of the tribe, the jealousy was gone, and it all turned into anticipation - expecting Ji'an to do more things that would benefit the tribe. And Ji'an also lived up to her expectations, no, Ji'an made a good thing again.
Su Daji and Patriarch Su handed over the search for iron ore and making iron tools to Brother Su, and were about to leave together when they heard a noise in the distance. Su Daji and Su Patriarch glanced at each other and walked in the direction where the voice came from.
When he got closer, he saw Ji An commanding four sturdy slaves carrying two large stones for installation. Two large stones had been polished, all in the shape of a round cake, and a small hole the size of a baby's fist had been dug in the ground of one of the stones, and a wooden stick was inserted from the side of the stone and protruded from the other side. There are also holes in the stones below, but on the sides of the stones.
"Sister, what good things have you invented?" Su Daji walked over and asked expectantly.
Ji An turned his head and greeted Su Daji and Su Patriarch with a smile: "Sister, father, come and see, this is the stone mill I came up with." β
"Stone-mill?" Su Daji asked, "What's the use?" β
"It's used to grind things, to grind large particles into powder or slurry." Ji An said, "I don't think the wheat tastes very good when cooked, so I want to change the method and grind the wheat into flour to see if the things made are delicious." β
"How do you grind?" Su Daji asked curiously.
"Here......" Ji'an said, pointing to the hole in a stone above, "Put the thing to be ground from here, push the two sticks of the stone mill, let the stone mill rotate, and the powder or slurry from the grinding will come out of the edge of the stone mill." β
Seeing that the four slaves had installed the grinding disc according to what she said, Ji An decided to give a demonstration to Su Daji and the Su patriarch herself. She had wheat frought, a small amount of wheat poured into the stone mill, and two slaves pushed the stone mill.
The ground flour and wheat bran come out of the edge of the stone mill. Ji'an did not separate flour from wheat bran, and now there is no tool to separate the two. After grinding a bag of wheat into flour, Ji'an led the Suda Jisu patriarch and a group of curious people to the stove on the side of the square.
There are five earthen stoves on one side of the square, which are used to cook three animals and six animals after worshipping the queen of heaven. Ji'an sent his slave girls to his house to bring cooking tools and spices and showed him how to make food from wheat flour.
The pot is a thin-skinned copper pot specially made by Ji'an, which can be used for cooking or stir-frying. Ji'an had a copper pot put on the stove, a slave to light the fire, and a slave girl to put the thinly sliced fat into the pot and boil the oil. Ji'an took a part of the wheat flour and put it in the pottery evening, added water and a little salt, and made the flour thick. Wait until all the fat is boiled out, pour the oil from the pot into the empty bowl, only a little oil remains, pour a spoonful of noodles into the pot, shake the copper pot from side to side, let the noodles flow through each place of the copper pot, and spread it into a flatbread.
Spread out the oil cake out of the pot, and saw that the slave girl divided the oil cake into more than ten portions, and let Su Daji, the Su patriarch and other clansmen taste it. The eyes of everyone who has tasted the bread are shining. It's so delicious. It turns out that the food made from wheat ground flour is so delicious!
"Sister, you're so amazing to come up with such a good idea." Su Daji praised her peace.
Patriarch Su nodded again and again, and said, "In the future, I will plant some wheat." β
The people who had eaten the oil cake agreed very much with the proposal of the Su patriarch, it turned out that the wheat was so delicious, and they had not found the correct way to eat the wheat before.
Many of the people who had eaten the oil cake immediately returned to their homes, took a bag of wheat and ran to the stone mill to get toner, and in a short time there were many people waiting for the flour to be polished by the stone mill.
Ji'an walked to the stone mill and said to the people: "Making oil cakes is one of the cooking methods using wheat flour, and I will teach you other methods tomorrow." β
The people happily thanked Ji'an, who waved his hand and carried the remaining flour back to his lodgings. She has to knead the flour and water to wake up the dough, and wait until the next day to steam steamed buns, steamed buns, and make noodles and dumplings.
A wide variety of pasta dishes enriched the tables of the tribesmen, and now almost all of the people's diet has been changed to pasta, and rice is rarely eaten. When spring came, the people began to plant wheat on a large scale, and the amount of millet planted decreased. However, at the request of Ji'an, the tribesmen planted some more rice. Nowadays, there is no such thing as paddy fields, and rice can only be planted by the river, and because of the area, the number of crops is much smaller than that of millet.
Ji'an did not take out sweet potatoes and potatoes in this life, and today's crops and meat are enough for modern people to eat enough. However, Ji'an took out the cotton planting, and led the tribesmen to plant, harvest, spin and weave cloth, so that the tribesmen could wear soft clothes, and they could also wear cotton clothes in winter. Of course, the cotton seeds were given to Su Daji before they were taken out. Within a few years, Su Daji had taken out drawings of cotton seeds, spinning machines and looms, improved drawings of bows and crossbows, and so onβiron had been refined, and sure enough, stronger and sharper than bronze, Patriarch Su and Brother Su had replaced the weapons of the army with iron weapons. These good things that are conducive to the development of the tribe are taken out, which makes Su Daji's prestige even higher. She was called "the man of heaven" by the people, and her prestige was even higher than that of the Su patriarch.
Also more prestigious than the Su patriarch is Ji'an. The sour heart of the Su patriarch! I can only comfort myself that both of them are his daughters, and they both have to support his words.
