Volume 1 Mishui Comes to the East Chapter 11 Kou Shi
When the two brothers Kou Bao and Kou Feng returned, Ou Xing stuffed them with a small gift full of baskets.
There are horn millet handmade by the chef of Zui Xianju restaurant, and there are various fillings such as jujube filling, lotus paste filling, bean paste filling, and fresh meat filling.
There is a new research and development of the rhino brand supporting products - canned toothpaste. Boil the willow branches in water, decoction them into a paste, add green salt, peppermint, chicken tongue incense (female cloves), and then store them in celadon jars.
There are new seasonal perfumes from the fragrance shop of the flower dew brand.
A bottle called Midsummer Fragrance - Distilled Rose Petals, the oil phase part of the distillate is separated to obtain rose essential oil (the aqueous part is rose water, which can be used as a high-end condiment), and the rose essential oil, 95% alcohol, and distilled water are mixed according to the volume ratio of 1:8:1, and then sealed with a celadon flask.
(Ethanol can form a constant boiling mixture with water, and only 95% alcohol can be produced by simple distillation.)
To prepare 99.5% alcohol, it needs to be distilled with quicklime or in the presence of molecular sieves. For higher purity absolute ethanol (> 99.95%), sodium filaments are added to 99.5% alcohol and then distilled. )
A bottle called The Wizard of Oz - soak the green orange peel with saturated lime water, after a day and night, take out the orange peel, rinse it with flowing water, drain it and crush it, press the juice out cold, filter the juice and let it stand, separate the upper oil phase to obtain the green orange essential oil, mix the green orange essential oil, 95% alcohol, distilled water according to the volume ratio of 1:8:1, and seal it with a celadon longnecked flask.
If you ask why they are all packed in celadon containers, it is because there is no better choice than it - celadon is already the top skill in my Han ceramic technology tree, and before celadon, there was only primitive porcelain.
The ceramic firing process, Ou Xing also does not know much. This tech tree can only be put away for a while, and then when the funds are abundant in the future, then spend money to ask craftsmen to develop and climb.
Glassware, Ou Xing didn't have it in his hand.
Burning glass, a technology tree that traversers must climb, will naturally not fall.
However, unfortunately, in the preparation of high-temperature kilns, the pre-technology for firing glass, as of May of the fourth year of Zhongping, Ou Xing's team has not made key progress.
For the Kou brothers, Ou Xing is very courteous.
There are three main reasons for this.
First, it is naturally because Ou Xing and Kou Bao have a very close personal relationship; second, because Ou Xing wants to brush up on the favorability of his brother Kou Feng in the future; Third, it is also because of the close business contacts between the Kou family and the Yuhua District family.
The Kou clan is now the largest business partner of the Yuhua family.
When Kou was in primary school, the self-conscious Ou Xing tried in vain to achieve a class leap by studying. At that time, most of the people of the Kou clan treated each other coldly.
When Ou Xing gave up the unrealistic start route of the strategist stream and turned to bury himself in farming, Kou's attitude quickly changed.
Kou's dock is on the shore of Mishui, and Ou's dock is at the foot of the goose-shaped mountain. The dock walls of the two families are hundreds of miles apart, but the fields of the two families are only separated by a narrow ridge.
Luo County is full of Kou's fields.
During the time of Emperor Huan, Kou Feng's grandfather, Emperor Shang's sister, Princess Yiyang, was a noble husband and had to be named Marquis Luo. Emperor Huan has issued edicts many times to seal the fields of his sister and sister-in-law's family.
The favor of the first emperor, coupled with the continuous development of the Kou clan's people (forcible seizure), the fertile land is close to an objective statement for the Kou clan in Luo County.
During the reign of the first emperor, the fields owned by the Kou clan accounted for a small half of the total cultivated land area of Luo County.
In the Xiping period after the current dynasty, after the eastern border of Luo County was separated from Hanchang County, all the fields owned by the Kou family even accounted for more than half of the total cultivated land in Luo County.
Across a narrow ridge, the farmers of the Kou clan only found the novelty interesting when they watched the barbarians in the opposite area using various novel farm tools, digging ditches to erect waterwheels, and spreading unidentified black coarse particles called fertilizer.
But soon, they found that the rice next door was really strong compared to their own rice on the ridge.
The harvest season has arrived, and so has the time to witness the miracle. However, just a hill away, the yield per mu of the barbarian next door is more than twice that of his own!
(The average yield of rice per mu in the Han Dynasty (now city mu, non-Han mu) is about 60 kg, and high-yield fields can reach 90 kg.) Today's hybrid rice can yield up to 1000+ kg per mu. The development and progress of the productive forces can be seen in general. )
The production capacity per mu has doubled, who is not hot when they see it?
Considering that the barbarians next door are more arrogant and unreasonable, he even gathered a crowd to rebel not long ago. This time, the Kou clan did not take it again.
In the second year of Zhongping, Kou experimentally purchased a small amount of new farm tools and finished farm manure from the district family and applied them to his own rice fields.
In the autumn harvest of that year, although Kou's experimental field failed to double the yield per mu, the growth rate was also quite gratifying.
As a result, in the third year of Zhongping, Kou began to imitate brute farm tools and added a large number of fertilizer orders to the district family.
In this process, to the surprise of the Kou clan, the unreasonable barbarian was surprisingly easy to speak.
Not only did they not care about their own imitation of farm tools, but the young patriarch Dung Gongzi also personally visited Kou's dock, saying that the district family could not only wholesale fertilizer at a preferential price, but also transfer fertilizer production technology to Kou's.
Comparing hearts to hearts, Luo Hou Kode reciprocated with peach. He announced that during the autumn harvest of that year, Kou's new grain would be preferentially purchased by the Oujia Yuye Factory, and if there was any surplus, it would be sold to grain merchants.
In line with the simple desire to make a fortune together, the cooperative relationship between the two families in Kou District quickly warmed up.
In this way, as the number one landlord in Luo County, Kou became the chief raw material supplier of Yuye Fang; As the No. 1 winery in Jingnan, Yuye Fang has become the largest purchaser of Kou's grain.
On the sixth day of the fifth month, Kou Bao sent someone to deliver a message, Luo Hou Koude will be in Kou's dock this month, and Ou Xing can visit at any time.
Having said that, how could Ou Xing let a Hou Ye wait for a long time.
He then sent a messenger to inform Kou Bao that he would go to Kou Shiwu tomorrow to ask to see Luo Hou.
