These days, my mind is on the new machines in the weaving workshop, and I run back without getting off work. The key is the use of new technology, the screw mouth seems simple, but the principle of picking silk has to be explained in detail to the carpenter, or it has to be fried by the wood.

After a busy afternoon, I led Dalai to the palace all the way and discussed the details of the thread all the way. It is done, the effect of the machine is not to say, three people can easily operate, compared to the speed of the six-person long machine, it can liberate three laborers at once, and the efficiency has been doubled. But the sleeve is too difficult to make, and it takes nearly ten times in a row to have a qualified finished product, so the cost of the machine is too high, and no matter how good the idea is, it is difficult to widely implement, so we have to work together to find a way to improve the success rate.

As he was saying that, when he passed by the Nanjinchang branch, he saw a few people arguing on the bluestone steps, and the four young men of Nanjinchang surrounded the two people who looked like villagers and coaxed them to the platform, looking at the faces of the two people, not like the farmers in the Zhuangzi, and the guys commented loudly, probably why they were not allowed to set up stalls at the gate of Nanjinchang.

Unlicensed vendors? Chao Dalai smiled, since the South Jinchang settled in Wangjia Zhuangzi, every day there are also a lot of farmers from the village to purchase, the farmer's spare money is limited after all, it is inevitable to bring some of the production in the field to the Yi City, one and two gradually formed a small business distribution center centered on the South Jinchang, and catch up with the market, four days a small meeting, seven days a conference, every time the assembly, the day is not dawn to occupy a small place, early in the morning to noon is very lively.

But the farmer also has the demeanor of the farmer, rushing to the market early rather than late, and it dispersed after noon, and I have never seen the behavior of blocking the door of people's houses to buy goods.

There are two large bamboo baskets on the red pillar at the entrance of Nanjin Chang. The probe looked at it, it was full of water chestnuts, and smiled. No wonder there are no rules, at first glance, it is a tenant farmer who came from Cheng Chu's new garden, when Cheng Chu wanted to rush to work, most of the laborers recruited were not locals, and he had only settled down for a short time, and he didn't understand so many rules, so he just ran away and sold nonsense.

Wave at a few guys. In the end, it's a big deal, don't worry about these with the farmers, seeing that the two big baskets are still full of dark and haven't been sold, I must be anxious, thinking that the stall is set high and easy to sell. Squatting down and rummaging through the bamboo basket, he asked the two farmers, "How much is a pound of water chestnuts?" ”

"Liuwen," the tenant farmer of the Cheng family saw that he had come to ask for the price, and he didn't have the heart to argue with the guy. Attentively ran over and turned over the water chestnuts in the basket vigorously, "The fresh fruit dug in the morning, the layer of mud under it has not dried yet!" It's a Xihan fruit, which you people in the capital have never seen before. ”

In this way, even the light of the mud and fruit knows that it is fresh. Let others frown, and dare to ask for Liuwen, Liuwen is said to be more than a pound of fat. The farmers of Wangjia Zhuangzi now have a high vision, and they are afraid that they will not be able to sell a penny.

"It's poor and crazy. Master Hou, don't worry about it. "The young man is kind-hearted, and he is afraid that the farmer in this outer village will make a basket of muddy eggs and anger me, so hurry up and round the field to let these two people know my identity, and don't cause irrelevant trouble.

"Who says you're crazy to be poor?" The farmer didn't know what to do, his face was red and his neck was thick, and when he saw the disdainful gaze in the eyes of a circle of people, he became angry for a while, grabbed a mud and bit it in half. pinched the white heart and gestured to me. The other one woke up a lot, picked a little mud, wiped his sleeve and handed it over, "Look at it, it's really a good thing, it's not nonsense, there is no such sweet fruit in a year, and Liuwen sells it as a Xihan." It's a pity that it's not visible on the outside. No one asked for a day. ”

"Ignore these two." Pointing to two baskets and pointing, "I want all six texts, let's go home quickly after dark." ”

"The market is open!" The two farmers were overjoyed when they heard my words, and they didn't weigh it anymore, so they weighed it a few times, "Two baskets have to be more than eighty catties, count you fifty catties, and the first guest in a day will be spared!" ”

"How do you talk about that?" Nan Jinchang's young man listened to the two of them vulgarly, and he dared to beat Hou Ye to death in this tone.

I got up and smiled and waved my hand, what did I have to worry about with the poor people, I took out two small silver cakes and handed them to the guy, "Go in and exchange the copper coins for the two of them, according to eighty catties." "The surrounding villagers who were watching the bustle saw that these two outsiders were ignorant, and they glared angrily one by one, looking like they wanted to wait for me to leave and pick up people. beckoned to the people around, "Come on, take a few from the family, the Wang family originally planned to take everyone to plant this thing." If the land is suitable, those who are willing to plant will go to the money housekeeper to talk, wash and peel and eat. ”

The two Zhuang households of the Cheng family left happily, and the people on the Wang family Zhuangzi also opened a fresh, those who have tasted it know the taste, and those who have not tasted it also know that this thing can be sold for six wen a pound with mud, or the tail goods in the afternoon, if it is placed clean, it is not allowed to go to ten wen, this is much more powerful than lotus vegetables, and I feel that the wasteland is endlessly fun, no need to mobilize, and there are torches to turn the ground in the middle of the night.

Yingle was broken, and stood on the edge of the lotus pond in Yunjiadi all day long and praised the beautiful lotus flowers, and the lotus leaves grew luxuriantly, "It's a pity, this wasteland is limited, the plant is full of lotus vegetables, and the package is all inclusive of the Wang family, the Yun family has no place to plant water chestnuts, is it possible that the cloud girl planted it in her thatched pit?" ”

"You're okay, I didn't see the little girl hiding away when she saw you." pulled Ying and pulled Tian Kan for a walk, trying not to meet Yun Yatou.

Ying was overjoyed, and the silk scarf shook happily. "It's not for money, just vent your anger, the girl hasn't reached the age to play tricks yet!"

"It's not pitiful, think about it instead." Chao Ying patted her on the back, "It's a matter of settling with the Yun family, and in the future, the villagers will come and go, and if you fight again, the price will be dropped." ”

Ying nodded comfortably, sat on the grassy slope, and said with a smile: "Whether it is fish or shrimp farming, the concubine has always left a way for the Yun family to live, otherwise this Zhuangzi would have lost her foothold." In the past, there was a boundary between the two families, but now this is the land of the whole Wang's family, we are the master, she is the guest, we have to let her know that this guest and host are different, don't play tricks in front of the master's house, teach her to be a good person. ”

"Pay it off," I shook my head, lay down on the grass, and listened to the sound of the trumpet of the wasteland in the distance, full of energy. Although the initial profits of the new crop were considerable, the good times were short-lived, and more and more people followed the trend. Just like the lotus cabbage that was delicate and expensive two years ago, now there is only a meager income left, and the prospects of water chestnuts are not much better than lotus vegetables.

The Cheng family will have 10,000 acres next year, and the Wang family will have a few hundred acres, even if Chang'an is monopolized, it seems that the reprocessing of agricultural and sideline products to generate income is the way out.

There's got to be a preliminary proposal. Not for the sake of the Wang family, it is purely from the heart, and the peasant households who work in the fields and Longli from afar, starting from Guanzhong, gradually expand benignly, benefiting not a few people and a few interest groups, but the entire Tang Empire. How to say that I am also a citizen of the Tang Empire. The country has never treated the Wang family badly, although I often get a little bit of money from the national government, but from the bottom of my heart, I still hope that the motherland will be prosperous and strong and prosper for a long time.

There was a change, and I couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly. I have gradually become noble, the incredible chemical effect, growing up under the red flag, people have returned to the backward era, but they feel that there is a noble sentiment in their hearts, whether it is morality or world view, it gradually becomes clear. Silky deductions, orderly and followable.

The stronger and more prosperous the country, the higher the return, the more satisfied the life, the stronger the sense of belonging to the country and the stronger the trust in the government, and the pride from the inside out makes everything in front of you cheerful.

It's a virtuous circle. There is no need to live with inferiority to the point of cynicism, I have long forgotten that I once had Japanese goods in my hand and was still indignant to boycott Japanese goods, and I don't have to be sad because of the news broadcast about how many people were killed alive on the sea ship for smuggling to a certain developed country; As for whose family blew up the embassy of the Tang Empire, there is no need for the people to march, His Majesty Li Zhi, who was deducted from the label of cowardice and incompetence in history, will politely cross out the country that caused the incident from the map and disappear in history, and even the country and the people will cease to exist.

It is a very relaxed living environment, and now I realize the benefits that a leader who is generous inside and strong on the outside brings to the country. I used to be cautious in my words. is afraid that his home will be raided and destroyed like in the TV series, this is all an illusion. In this era, you can vent your dissatisfaction with the government on Suzaku Street. As long as what you say is reasonable, the local government will politely record your remarks in detail, even if it is not improved, but feel comfortable. The supervisory role played by a relaxed public opinion environment on government officials cannot be ignored.

"Build a road, huh?" Thinking about it, I felt that it was necessary to make some contributions to the country, and when I was on a whim, I was inevitably a little impulsive, and pointed to the potholed paths connected by the villages in the distance, "It is spacious and easy for everyone to walk." ”

Ying looked at the direction I was pointing in confusion, "It's not the boundary of our Zhuangzi land, what place to cultivate?" ”

"Over there, our Zhuangzi can't even go out on the road, we can't patronize ourselves, we want to benefit all people." It's so great, the tone of voice that says this is different, I can't believe it's my own realization, and I regret that I didn't have a tape recorder to record it.

"Oh," Ying reached out and probed my forehead, "no fever, how can you talk nonsense?" ”

"Look, occasionally being enthusiastic and not cooperating once, makes my heart less passionate," spread his hands, and glanced at Ying dissatisfiedly, "Selfish." ”

Ying pursed her lips and smiled, "Xiu, I didn't say that I wouldn't ask you to repair." Did you ask the official? You can repair it as much as you like in your own Zhuangzi, but if you want to repair it, you have to go to the official to approve it, not to mention one, two, three, the court does not put the road in private hands, a big crime. ”

"Forget it," is too strict, I originally wanted to plan a small engineering team to do a project for the imperial court, so it seems that there is no hope. got up and patted it, and led his wife back home.

Recently, there is water chestnut, the consumption of fungus at home is really a bit large, water chestnut fungus meat slices have become a famous dish on the recipe of the Wang family, enter the door and see the housekeeper and the bookkeeper in the small garden behind the wall drinking on the stone table, you can smell it without walking forward. Recently, the two brothers have rarely had a drink in the evening, so Ying Xiaoxiao pulled me around the south corridor towards the back house, so as not to disturb the interest of the two old men.

"It's not easy to say," Ying reached out and picked a spring flower that stretched into the corridor, "that is, something in the season, it is difficult for people to get a sweet taste in ordinary times, if this water chestnut can be harvested all year round." Sell it in the season, you don't have to squeeze into a bunch of lower markets, and the price is good in all seasons. ”

This is knowledge, with the current conditions, it can't reach this level, but Ying's way of thinking is already very advanced, "No way, right?" ”

"Where's the wine?" It happened that someone moved the jar of wine from the corridor next to it, and Ying pointed over there, "The wine jar is packed, and the mouth seal is tight." Dirty stuff can't get in. ”

Wine sealing is very particular, especially the process of good wine sealing and its cumbersome, a layer of thick yellow paper wrapped the mouth of the jar, the wax that turns into water is poured on it to form a thin layer of wax film to wrap the mouth of the altar, and then the yellow mud of the grass tendons is used to paste it, and now there is lime, and the cooked ash sauce is thick and smeared with a layer before stopping.

I don't know if it's useful to seal the water chestnuts as well, and it's not bad to get a few jars of water chestnuts. Anyway, Cheng's family has a lot of places, you can try it.

A large cart came, washed and peeled, sprinkled a little salt in the water to soak in a day of powder, specially selected the glazed potbelly jar, boiled in the cauldron to disinfect a few jars, sprinkled a little liquor to wipe the mouth of the altar, and then the water chestnuts of the white flowers were fished out in boiling water and placed in the jar. Immediately after that, boiling water at the right temperature was poured in, and according to the technique of sealing the liquor, it was fiddled with and moved to the cellar to hide.

I remember that the storage period of canned food in later generations is generally 12 months, but there are no preservatives in this year, and it can be considered successful if it can last for half a year. Don't dare to ask for half a year, according to the fourth child, three months is not bad, although it is not as valuable as fresh vegetables in winter. If you send it to the big restaurant, it will be five times the price of fresh fruit, and even if the water chestnuts are worthless in the future, the water chestnuts in the jar can be sold at a good price.

This is a way, if it is feasible, the fruit can also be made step by step, canned, we are high-end goods, others have not seen all high-end goods. It belongs to the deep processing of agricultural and sideline products.

The process must be recorded in detail, divided into time periods, and each period of time to open an altar to check whether the quality of canned food has changed, as a designated scientific research project of the Wang family, and the old four will undertake the whole process, find problems in time and solve them in time. I still took advantage of my free time to quickly solve the problem of the silk pattern of the new textile machine.

The drawings laid a case, and even the idea of using pure metal castings for the sleeve came out, since the high-temperature metallurgy of coal has been adopted. I don't know if I can ...... But my family doesn't have that condition.

"Why don't you give this drawing to Princess Lanling?" The second daughter saw my house and workshop running at both ends. After asking the reason, I was very interested in a series of inventions and creations of mine, and the flower water was jointly made with my two daughters. The little girl who once held a big bottle and shook it was very accomplished.

"It's not going to work, keep it secret."

"If you don't give it to her anything else, just give her the drawings of the threaded socket, our family has no conditions, but she must have a way." The second girl's big eyes rolled, and she took out an independent drawing and looked at it, "If it can be changed to iron, this is not only the loom in our house can be used, first, it is a merit, and secondly, it does not cost a penny to solve its own problems, what do you think?" ”

It is feasible, I have seen the iron socket on the crossbow frame of the bed, and the crossbow belt frame is put together, if there is a problem, the whole frame will be scrapped, if it is changed to a screw, just remove a kit and change a bolt to solve the problem, not only ordnance, the life of civilian machinery and tools has also been greatly enhanced, great merit, if it succeeds, it can take a big step towards standardized operations.

I took a few molded wooden bolts and went towards Lanling's house, and when I entered the door, I didn't say much, and twisted the sleeve and handed it over to my arm, "Do you see it sturdy?" ”

Lan Ling took it and tugged with both hands a few times, and nodded, "What do you mean?" ”

"How about switching to iron?" As I spoke, I spread out the drawings, and explained the usefulness of the various bolts, nuts, twist arms, and sockets that I had carefully drawn. "For example, if this one is broken, we will have to scrap the whole thing before, maybe the whole appliance will have to be scrapped, right?" Saying that, he easily removed the sleeve arm from the sleeve and threw it to the side, and took a new piece to put it on, "Look, I don't need it now, the bad one is replaced by that, how trouble-free and durable?" ”

Lan Ling immediately understood the gist of it, and gave me a thumbs up in admiration, "Great, my husband is worthy of being the most talented person in Chang'an, this thing alone can minimize the wear and tear of the equipment, I really don't know how long your mind is." ”

"It's not me, it's the three students of the Zhang family." This credit must not be taken from me, even if the Wang family has helped the Zhang family, there is no reason to put the cousin's creativity on himself.

"It's the three of the weaving department?"

"Well, on the one hand, learning to improve looms is all about machinery, and it is really not easy to think of this."

"You drew the picture, right?" Lan Ling looked at the drawings carefully, and said with a smile: "You are the only one who draws such a picture of Chang'an, but you can't hide it from me." It is your duty to be a nephew to plan to pull the Zhang family, and no one gossips; There is no need to push the hard credit to the Zhang family. ”

The picture is right I drew it, but the original picture can't be shown to Lanling, scratching his head a little embarrassed, trying to say with a sincere expression: "Really, it's a method that the three of his brothers have studied for a long time, you have to believe that I am an honest person and don't lie." ”

"Don't believe it!" Lan Ling chuckled a few times, "If you don't lie, dogs won't eat." Just report it according to your name and let them test it according to the drawings, and don't lie to me anymore, and don't lie to me in the future. As he spoke, he lightly rolled up the drawings and wrapped them in a silk scarf.

This is a bit too much, so I quickly stopped it and said hurriedly: "Don't, don't dare to report my name, it's really someone's way, swear to God!" ”

Lan Ling glanced at it and asked with a smile: "It's okay." Since it is the credit of the three brothers of the Zhang family, why didn't I hear from such a big thing? This drawing does not go to the weaving department of a few gentlemen, just from your hand to say what is the statement? Listen to your explanation, don't pretend to eat snacks! ”
