Chapter 527: Working Together to Hunt for Winter (Fourth Update)
"At minus 35 degrees, the things we brought are only enough to build two acres of greenhouses. It's all our people out there. ”
The greenhouse was built first, and the chief took a thermometer to enter the shed from the outside, and the shed had a fire passage and the temperature was high, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where iron ore is mined, there are quartz and feldspar minerals that can burn glass, but there is no alkali.
In and around this area, there are generally associated minerals of alkali, such as gold and silver mines, and it is difficult to find trona alone.
If the speed is fast, we can still grow a few acres of land, and it just so happens that some of those iron ores have been partially oxidized, and the glass burned out is yellow-green, which has little impact.
Look at the quality of our craftsmen and the army, the stronger they are, the more opportunities they will have to eat fresh vegetables during the Chinese New Year today. ”
Zhu Wentian heard the chief say that there are no outsiders, so he doesn't pretend to be a fool, and he estimates the general situation.
The things brought were enough to make a greenhouse on two acres of land, and now only a few cucumbers and eggplants are planted.
The others are bok choy, shallots, radish, chrysanthemum, spinach, coriander, etc., which can be eaten in a short time.
In addition, there are only bean sprouts and garlic sprouts, which are not planted in greenhouses, but choose a place in the palace and send them with water, which is faster.
"It's so hard to survive here, how can it be in winter?"
The lieutenant thought that there was no food in winter, plus a bunch of livestock, and he was a herdsman, and it was over! It's all over!
"The grass around is growing well, and even if it withers and is buried in the snow in winter, they can shave the snow and feed when the camels and horses are released.
Camel milk, mare's milk, and goat's milk can actually replace some staple foods, including protein and fat.
This year, it was because I was too concentrated after the war, otherwise I would have been able to survive if I had spread out.
Especially in the local rivers, the grass can grow very tall with livestock, and the same can grow as other crops.
The Northern Yuan Dynasty did not develop well here, because of its poor prospecting ability, and even with the Yuan Dynasty, Han craftsmen were reluctant to live here. ”
Zhu Wentian finished planting the cabbage on this ridge, got up and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his arm.
There was a smile in the chief's eyes: "The people in our village have never forgotten their roots, they have learned so many skills, and they are still skilled in planting." ”
Two acres of greenhouses, the people of the village, all the work in a while is finished.
The seeds are treated in advance, and germination will be very fast, and eggplants and cucumbers are transplanted seedlings, and seedlings are bred in advance.
I planted more than a dozen watermelons and melons, and it is estimated that they will not be able to eat them until the weather is warm.
……
"Can everyone eat fresh food during the Chinese New Year? It depends on whether our team can provide enough coal, iron ore and stones? ”
After dealing with the matter of the greenhouse, the lieutenant found Zhu Biao and Zhu Fan to talk about the problems mentioned by Hanhan.
Zhu Fan asked, turned his head and called Han Zheng, Fu Youde, Li Wenzhong, Feng Sheng, Xu Da, and Lan Yu to explain the matter.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, rest assured, the soldiers are so idle that they have hair on their bodies, aren't they just working! It's not a fight, it's not dangerous, it's just a matter of strength.
So that we can eat the food, we are not afraid of the cold, we don't care whether the mine freezes or not, we will cut it open for him and send the things back.
There are also craftsmen in the team, who are responsible for repairing vehicles and ordnance, and there will be no problems on our side anyway. ”
Xu Da expressed, what could be more uncomfortable than fighting? War kills people, it's just a matter of exerting your strength now.
"We craftsmen won't hold back." Wang Yiqian, who came over in a hurry, expressed his position on behalf of the five thousand craftsmen.
"The technical side is readily available." I see that you are all so awesome, let's be natural.
So the whole team of Helin was moving quickly, and more people set off with horses, camels, and grain and grass.
One is more than 200 miles away in a straight line, more than 250 miles in a normal way, and the other is more than 500 miles.
Craftsmen repair kiln repair kiln, and mud blank beating, first burn refractory bricks, and then there is a glass kiln.
Everyone is racing against time, and they are afraid of delaying other people's affairs, and the link they are responsible for can only be fast.
The team from Xiaqiu Village took the team of the prince and the king of Qin to the river, and the Aruhun River was next to the city of Helin, or the city of Helin was built because of this river.
At this moment, the river is frozen and frozen, everyone is ready to eat fish, the fishing nets are always carried, and the craftsmen temporarily process a batch of wooden sticks.
Take one with the steam engine, add the other parts, and drag it to the ice.
The steam engine was activated, the drilling equipment was hung up, and there was a few buzzing sounds, and nearly two feet of ice was pierced.
Xu Da and the others, who saw the steam engine for the first time, instantly widened their eyes, is it so easy to use? What is it that is connected, like a circle of iron pieces spinning up and down?
The wooden board where the steam engine is placed is dragged with a rope, and there are two pieces of iron under the wooden board, which is the ice car, and it is effortless to drag the steam engine on the ice.
Move from the upstream position to the downstream position, move twenty paces, buzz and buzz into an ice hole, and continue to move.
In the first hole in the back, someone tied a rope to a wooden stick, and behind the wooden stick there was a mortise and tenon bayonet, and then a wooden stick.
The wooden stick is put into the ice hole, and the one behind is connected to the front one, and the rope follows to the position of the ice hole in front.
The man guarding the hole continued to grasp the wooden sticks in the water with his hands and slammed them into the next ice hole, one after the other.
I made six holes, and the thread was delivered, and the stick was removed, leaving only the thread, and the thin thread was followed by a thick thread, and dragged over.
Then a thicker line is attached, and finally a fishing net.
After hitting the ice hole, the fish can feel it, and they will swim to the ice hole, and there is more oxygen here.
After a while, the fish was almost over, and the rope was pulled there, and the net was dragged from one end to the other, and the fish that came to breathe were carried inside.
This does not use steam engine power, there are many people, and you can drag it hard.
When the nets reach the ice, shake them off quickly, otherwise the nets will stick to the ice and freeze.
Shake it, wait until it comes into contact with the snow, freeze it first, and then fall on the surface of the ice and snow, and then pick it down.
The big fish that were shaken off jumped a few times in the ice and snow, and stiffened and did not move.
"In this way, we brought twenty nets, which were not strong enough to be connected to the ice trough and pass through the nets, so we had to use the ice holes to catch fish.
The steam machine drilled out of the ice holes, and everyone worked hard to see how many fish they could catch.
After catching it here, change positions and continue, and all the soldiers can drink fish soup today.
Other craftsmen are weaving nets with a mixture of twine and cotton threads, but unfortunately they can't make a bloody net, so they make do with it first. ”
The lieutenant commander told the generals that the generals from the south had never fished in the north like this.
Ice holes that have already been fished once do not need to be threaded with rods, and strings are attached to the back of the nets.
Everyone worked hard, Zhu Wentian looked hot, there were too many fish, if the mesh was smaller, the net could be broken.
Just the normal net, a net is a few hundred catties, the key is to collect the net once, and repeat it again, it is still a few hundred catties of fish, endlessly.
If the angler is fishing here in winter, he will have to blow it when he goes back, so he is guaranteed to drive back to find someone, bring a flatbed truck, load a car, and slowly pull it back.
Then take a long detour to get home, and you have to stop from time to time to buy water and cigarettes on the way, what? Don't smoke, bring it to others, hum!
When I saw someone, I asked, how did you know I had caught a cartload full of fish?
