488 money jar
Another year passed, another year was grown, and it was still sunny at noon, but in the afternoon it suddenly cooled down, and even a light rain fell.
By the time the family had finished eating, the light rain turned into sleet.
There was also a snowfall a few years ago, which was not small, it was the first time Lin He had seen snow in this world for so many years.
However, due to geographical problems, it rained for a whole day, and the snow barely reached the instep, and it melted the next day.
There was still a little residual heat in the kitchen, Lin He tightened his collar, sighed twice, and then looked at Li Changhui behind him.
"Won't it continue to cool down, Brother Hui, did Liu Liang reply to the letter a few days ago, how is the situation at the border over there?"
Liu Liang and the others brought a large amount of supplies, and they hurried slowly, and it was only in the past two days that they finally arrived at the border pass.
It is a place specially designated by Li Changhui, and it is also the place most likely to be invaded by foreign tribes.
Speaking of this, Li Changhui's face sank, when he received the news a few days ago, there were still guests at home, and he didn't mention it to Lin He.
As soon as he saw Li Changhui's reaction, he knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Not so good? ”
Li Changhui shook his head: "There are indeed small battles, but fortunately, the imperial court has also dealt with it in a timely manner, in the past few years, the treasury has been full, and the grain and grass are enough, so don't worry." ”
Lin He breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, look, let me tell you, being an official must be more long-term than we think, what are you worried about?" ”
Guotai Min'an is better than anything else, even if they are far away from the border now, but if there is really a war, they will not be able to continue to be as comfortable as they are now.
Li Changhui hesitated for a moment before he said: "There is no shortage of grain and grass, but there are not many cotton clothes and quilts. ”
Lin He's expression was stunned, she didn't expect this, half a sound, and patted Li Changhui's arm.
"Don't worry, it's spring, it's about to start heating up, besides, didn't I ask them to bring some cotton and a lot of peppers?"
The twenty tons that were counted before were all the amount of grain, which may not be much for a person in a city, but it is better than nothing, after all, this is already the limit of what their family can take.
As for other materials, in addition to cotton, there are many spices, among which dried peppers and peppercorns are the most, which are grown at home every year.
Sure enough, when Li Changhui heard this, he was a lot more relieved: "Yes, I almost forgot, in addition to chili peppers, I remember that you also let people fill more than 1,000 catties of vermicelli, as well as all kinds of dried vegetables dried in summer?" ”
What dried lettuce, dried eggplant, dried vegetables, dried sweet potatoes, and even dried shallots and ginger powder have a lot.
Li Changhui had to admire: "Sure enough, in this regard, you are still much more careful than me, I saw these things at the beginning, but I didn't think about it deeply." ”
"Now rest assured, right? Although the pepper can't withstand the cotton clothes, it is better than nothing, and now it is like this, it is useless to think more, it is better to have more cotton every year in the future. ”
No one expected that it would be so cold last winter, and in the coldest month, Lin He barely left the brazier.
If she had known that it was so cold, she would have divided the cotton seeds earlier, and she would have been able to grow more cotton last year.
"Daddy, what are you talking about, we're done cleaning up, is Dad still teaching us to read tonight?"
Li Hao put down his sleeves and walked towards the two of them, today it was Li Hao's turn to wash the dishes, and the other one had already gone to the study.
In winter, the three brothers generally read and study together in the study, so a brazier is enough, and there is no need to worry about the child being alone in the same room with the brazier, in case of an accident.
As for sleeping at night, they don't use braziers, the three brothers are all people who practice martial arts with Li Changhui, although they are not as cold-resistant as Li Changhui, but they are also much stronger than ordinary people.
"You go over first, teach An'er to practice calligraphy tonight."
The two of them gave up their positions at the door of the kitchen and let Li Hao out.
This reaction made Li Hao a little confused: "Dad, mother, what are you standing here for?" It's also warm in the kitchen. ”
Also, the brazier was taken to the study.
Lin He's expression froze, and he patted him on the back of the head: "I have something to say to your father, you go out first." ”
"Oh."
After Li Hao left, the two glanced at each other, and Lin He couldn't hold back, laughed out loud, and took the initiative to hold Li Changhui's arm.
"Brother Hui, I don't know anything about the Da'an Dynasty at all, why don't you tell me, when you used to fight at the border pass, what did you need most in addition to grain and grass?"
As the two spoke, they were finally reluctant to leave the kitchen and walk slowly towards the study.
Li Changhui took the initiative to change positions with Lin He and let Lin He walk inside, he blocked most of the cold wind by himself, and at the same time fell into memories.
"What is needed the most, probably is the herb, the military doctor is not enough, but the most lacking is the herb to stop bleeding and reduce inflammation, many soldiers are injured, obviously not seriously injured, but they still die because of the wound festering."
Li Changhui's voice was a little heavy, and some things, even after many years have passed, are still vivid in retrospect.
Lin He frowned slightly, the wound was festering, it should be that the disinfection effect is not good, it is just a medicinal herb, and the effect may come slowly.
"I've read from some miscellaneous books that some wounds need to be cleaned with wine?"
"Yes, especially some wounds that need to be stitched, not only the wounds need to be cleaned with wine, but also the needles and threads that are stitched, and the knives that cut rotten meat, etc., must be boiled with wine or boiling water."
Disinfected with wine, Lin He couldn't help but shudder when he thought about it.
However, Lin He has tasted the wines of this world, and they are the good wines that are more common on the market.
To be honest, the degree is not too high, used for disinfection, in fact, it feels a little worse, if you can make distilled spirits, you can reach seventy or eighty degrees, but that is too wasteful.
The most important thing is that because of the process, even if it is a spirit, the degree is not high, and the ones she tastes are basically more than ten degrees, which is not much higher than her wine.
With such a low degree, it takes too much to distill a liquor of seventy or eighty degrees.
However, the grain production is very low, and the control of brewing is very strict, let alone brewing a large amount of liquor, and then distilling alcohol.
As for disinfectant?
Then she is even worse, she is not so capable of researching disinfectant.
However, in addition to these, it is not impossible to do it.
"Brother Hui, what if I said that, in addition to wine, I also know a very, very high yield crop that can be used to make wine, and even the yield can be several times that of wine?"
The yield of wild grapes is only about 1,000 catties, and after spiritual power and warmth, it will not exceed 2,000 catties, but the kind of thing she said may even exceed 5,000 catties or even 10,000 catties per mu!
"Huh?"
Isn't it saying that there is something missing at the border gates?
After reacting, I was instantly shocked.
"More than wine production?"
He's a lady, I'm afraid it's not the reincarnation of the money jar, right? (End of chapter)
