Chapter Ninety-Seven: Wine
Eating breakfast, Renault sighed slightly, how long has it been since he arrived in the Da Chu world? he actually has a team, a group of people are willing to follow him, and the appeal of the secret master is not ordinarily strong.
I only ate a few bites of this meal, there was a little chaos outside the door, the purple shadow swayed, calmly walked into the room, the big head glanced around the dining table, took a piece of bread, took a bite, seemed not very satisfied, threw it on the ground and stepped on a hoof.
Renaud was furious, and the bear child was not disciplined: "You stop me, who let you in." ”
He didn't eat anymore, walked up to Ziying, pointed at its nose and scolded. Purple Shadow looked innocent, in fact, this guy was careful to understand, Renault scolded him even if he didn't understand, it knew that there was nothing good to say, but it was willing to pretend to be like this.
"Don't pretend to be innocent, why are you throwing food?" Renault said, pointing to the bread on the ground.
As soon as the purple shadow hoofed it, the bread ran to the feet of the tiger teeth, a pair of big eyes blinked, looked at Renault, looked at the tiger teeth, and groaned softly, Renault was almost angry with him, you planted it too much in front of you.
Suddenly, a sweet smell wafted in, Ziying ignored Renault, happily ran to Mo Xiang's side, ate the cake in her hand into her mouth, tasted a few bites, screamed happily, ran around the dining table several times, and begged Mo Xiang again.
This cake was specially prepared by Jiugong for Mo Xiang and Chu Rui, Renault is general about cakes, and he won't eat them after eating them twice, but Mo Xiang and Gong Chu Rui like it. The ninth princess knew the identities of these two, so she asked Si Shan to bring one to them, after all, she was the person in the husband's room, even if she was a princess, she was willing to make friends, at least not evil.
Mo Xiang really likes cakes, and she didn't want to eat them all, but Ziying was cheaper, and if she wanted to ask for it, Mo Xiang was gone.
"Get out. Renault was really angry, casually pulled out the knife on the waist of the tiger's teeth, and rushed towards the purple shadow, the bear child saw that it was not good, turned around and ran, don't look at the room area is a bit small for it, but the flexibility of the purple shadow is beyond everyone's imagination, and ran away in a smoke, Renault, who had just reached the peak of the second order, couldn't even control his own strength, how could he catch up with the purple shadow?
Headache, how can this bear child be taught seriously? Don't talk about killing, it's a little reluctant to fight, but preaching doesn't work, don't say it doesn't understand, even if it can understand, Renault doesn't think it will listen to him.
"Sir, the dragon foal can't be restrained, you have to run outside every day, the forage must be the best, and the sweets can be eaten, but not too much. The Ninth Princess stood up and said.
The best forage?
Hehe......
"Yihe knows about dragon foals?" asked Renault.
"I understand a little. ”
Renault even started to hurt the back of his head this time, because Mao likes to snatch the patent of the traverser, he doesn't seem to have had a chance to say 'I understand a little', and the lines are let others take the lead.
"Since you understand, the purple shadow will be handed over to you for the time being, what do you need, just ask Huya. Renault took the opportunity to find a teacher for the bear child, hoping that the ninth princess would not regret it.
The ninth princess is very smart, when she heard Renault say this, she knew that she was reckless, and the cost of feeding a dragon foal was not low, but as the ninth princess, she could still lack this?
No, I'll have to ask Huya about this.
After breakfast, Renault rode to the craftsman's camp, and from time to time drove away the purple shadow with the wooden stick in his hand.
Don't look at the purple shadow is still young, but it is not a horse or a dragon horse, it is not much shorter than an ordinary war horse, and its strength is much greater than that of an adult war horse.
It is said that last night, Purple Shadow educated all the fierce horses in the General's Mansion, and the horsemen appeased them all night.
The war is over, but the artisan battalion is not idle, the furnace is still working, and the weapons and armor of the barbarians are being smelted, as well as the discarded armor used in wartime.
As soon as Renault arrived at the door of the craftsman's camp, Sun Lei greeted him, he had been looking forward to Renault for a long time, and he finally came today.
"Hello, sir, please. ”
"No need to be polite, how much ore is there now?How much has been refined?" Renault naturally didn't work to help Sun Lei, he was for the flying ox to cut off the flow of iron, and it had been a few days since he left Dingjun City, if those miners were not lazy, the mine should have been hollowed out at this time, and there was not much ore there.
The number of flying cow broken iron is indeed not much, the God of Wealth has been scanning, but the God of Wealth has more work, so it can only be scanned shallowly, the depth set by Renault is only one hundred meters, which is also no way, no matter how deep the mine, even if it is found, with Da Chu's technology, it is too difficult to mine.
Until now, Renault has only discovered that one mine.
The use of Flying Bull Broken Iron is not only armor, Renault has not had time to experiment, this thing should be very versatile, but unfortunately the quantity is limited, and it is difficult to promote.
"Sir, the mine has been mined, and half of it has not yet been smelted. Sun Lei said.
"What are you busy with here?" asked Renault, the earthlings were still thin-skinned, in fact, he really wanted to ask, because the hair was not refined?
The melting point of Feiniu broken iron is not high, and it is much easier to refine than iron, and there are many furnaces in the craftsman's camp, if you refine it with all your might, I am afraid that it will be finished long ago.
"Mr. Hui, although the previous war was a big victory, there were also losses, and the artisan battalion is working at full strength to make up for the losses, after all, this is a border city, and there may be a war at any time. "Sun Lei's reasons are sufficient, politically correct, Renault is not good at criticizing him, he is the artisan battalion of the Dingxi Army, of course, he has to do the right thing first.
Seeing Sun Lei's eyes flickering, Renault understood that he wanted to take advantage of him.
Well, it's understandable to be a little selfish, anyway, for Renault, it doesn't take much effort, just take some time. Since you use other people's furnaces, manpower, and charcoal, you should pay for processing.
"Well, give me half of the furnace, and I'll be smelting here for the next few days. Renault said.
Sun Lei was overjoyed, this is what he wanted, he didn't expect Renault to help the craftsman all the time, a few days is a little shorter, but the efficiency is high. Half of it is for the gentleman, and the other half is for the artisan household.
With an order, all the furnaces were in full swing, Sun Lei took Cui Qing's hand and asked him to come forward to command, they are all people who understand, knowing that Cui Qing is now flying on Gao Zhi'er, he understands Mr. 's habits best, and it is naturally best for him to take over the command.
Cui Qing was not polite, dispatched manpower, arranged the furnace time, prepared tents, tables and chairs on Huya's side, and ordered people to prepare food and drinks.
In less than an hour, everything was arranged.
Renault swept around first, several furnaces melted about the same, added new ores, some added chromium, some added manganese, and both added, Renault this is a few in one fell swoop. After all, he is not a metallurgical major, and he doesn't understand metal formulas, so he can only try, even if the refining is broken, it doesn't matter.
This time, if you don't build anything, pure smelting, and when the metal smelting is completed, what Sun Lei wants to use to build it is none of Renault's business.
After finishing the work, Renault sat on the chair: "Huya, you go and call Zhang Tan over, as well as his apprentices." ”
Zhang Tan is a divine craftsman, and Renaud doesn't believe in the vision of the Great Chu people, so he wants to test his craftsmanship himself.
Huya answered, and Renault asked the Ninth Princess: "Yihe, have you heard everything I asked you to ask?"
The Ninth Princess said, "Yes sir, the grapes in the southwest are ripe and ready to be picked this year. Because it could not be transported, it was not planted much, only for the Dingxi army and border people to eat, a total of 2,000 acres. The yield of one mu is more than 2,000 catties, the southwest has good sunshine, suitable rain, high yield and good quality. 1,500 acres of purple grapes and another 500 acres of white grapes. ”
Very good, Renault has been thinking about this for some time, both southwest and northwest, grapes are produced, and due to transportation, the production is not very large.
In fact, the area of the southwest and northwest is vast, and if you really want to grow grapes, 2,000 acres is nothing, as long as you have people and siblings, 20 million acres is not a problem.
But if you plant it, you can't transport it, you can only rot in the ground, and there are only 5 million border people. If it is simply used for eating, 2,000 mu is already a lot, and that is an output of 40 million catties.
On average, regardless of adults and children, is eight catties per person less? Da Chu has no refrigeration, refrigerator or anything, and when it is cooked, it has to be picked and eaten, and it cannot be put away for a few days. Therefore, although it is very suitable for growing grapes, it is not very diverse.
"Mo Yu, you take someone to buy some grapes and come back, two kinds of grapes are 30,000 catties each, and transport them here, in the last few days, we have to live in the artisan camp, don't be idle, try to get something to drink. ”
"Tiger sister, do you still have gold coins in your hand? If you have it, give it to Moyu, if not, go to the General's Mansion to pay some first, and by the way, send some ginseng to the General's Mansion. Renault continued, he was not willing to take advantage of others.
I have been here for a long time, although I have never bought anything with my own hands, and I also know the purchasing power of gold coins in Da Chu.
"Yes. The two responded in unison, one taking the money, and the other taking people to buy grapes.
"Sir...... Want to drink grape juice?" The ninth princess asked hesitantly, what Mr. wants to buy is 60,000 catties of grapes, it can't be grape juice, besides, it is the season when grapes are ripe, and there is grape juice for breakfast today, and I don't see how much Mr. drinks.
"Is it wine, is there no one making it here?" asked Renault, who had always been strange that Da Chu's wine was only rice wine, and it was still poorly brewed.
"Grapes, can you make wine?" Huya was the first to jump out and object, grapes are fruits, how can they make wine?
The ninth princess was thoughtful, and her eyes lit up: "Mr. understands the method of brewing toast fruit wine?"
Guessed wrong, it turns out that there is fruit wine here, Renault asked puzzledly: "Since toast can make fruit wine, why don't you try it?"
It turns out that among the southern toast, there are people who know how to make fruit wine, called wine craftsmen, but it is a secret that people's toasts do not pass on, and they rely on fruit wine to make money every year, even if you destroy the entire cottage, people will not say it.
Some people in Da Chu have tried, but very few have succeeded.
