Chapter 272: Opening the Door and Establishing a Sect (4)
The people below kowtowed one after another, Yu Qing's three immortal beans were enough for the farmers in the surrounding ten miles and eight townships to make seeds in the spring, and even the officials were grateful for the kindness of the three immortals.
The earliest farmers who opened up the wasteland in this barren mountain benefited the most, because after Yu Qing and others performed the magic here, they left some spiritual power in the ground, and in the following years, the land on these mountains became extremely fertile, and they harvested whatever they planted, and those farmers who lost their land soon lived a well-off life.
They are grateful for the merits of the three immortals, they set up a small temple on the top of the mountain, the three immortals are offered inside, Yu Qing sits on a green cow in the center, the forest fairy is on the left, the building immortal is on the right, the incense is continuous throughout the year, and it is called the "Three Immortal Temple".
The Wujiang shopkeeper of Wangjiang Building had an idea, made a dish to commemorate the three immortals, called "three immortal balls", respectively took winter bamboo shoots, mushrooms, pork on behalf of Yu Qing, Lin Yuanchen, Lou Cen of the three immortals, chopped into the end, kneaded into a ball, wrapped in divine bean powder, fried in the oil pot, poured on the thick broth after the pot, the outside is charred and the inside is tender, and the good taste is indescribable.
The world is ignorant, passing on and spreading, misrepresenting the "Three Immortal Balls" as the "Three Fresh Balls", once Lou Cen Zhi tasted this new dish, and praised it for being delicious, but Lin Yuanchen next to him laughed so much that his stomach hurt.
After Yu Qing and Guo Dalu returned to Houlong Village, Rao was well-informed, but also frightened, only to see that Houlong Village was lined with waterwheels by the stream, the sound of machines in the workshop was constant, the blast furnace, coking pool, and high-temperature kiln in the back mountain were spitting black smoke, and there were all kinds of pungent strange smells, and there were actually two extremely long and extremely long thick iron bars on the ground next to the village, which extended towards Fengshen Mountain, and a demon cow pulled a long cart on the iron bar, and the cart was full of ore.
In the village, hundreds of people are working on high and low scaffolding, transporting a slurry-like thing and pouring it with fine steel bars. Some of these people, Yu Qing, still recognized that it was the landless peasants who lived temporarily in the palace of Tianyi Pavilion, and it turned out that they had come here to work.
Yu Qing snorted, pointed to the coke pool and said to Guo Dalu: "Dalu, the things emitted by this thing are poisonous, you have to be careful." ”
Guo Dalu grinned and said busily: "Thank you for your advice, the gas emitted by this coke pool is actually extremely useful, but I can't collect it properly for a while, and after the technology improves, this poisonous gas will be able to turn waste into treasure." In my opinion, there is no waste or poison in this world, but the good things are misplaced and the world does not know how to use them. As long as we understand everything more with the advancement of technology, the better we can develop it and use it. ”
Yu Qing was stunned: "Waste and poison are just good things misplaced - what you say has some meaning, the fairy grass and spirit wood I planted can help people practice if it is used well, but it is a deadly poison if it is not used well, and there are some similarities with your words." ”
Guo Dalu said in his heart, you are a big-headed ghost, I am talking about chemistry, many chemical components in the coking pool cannot be fully transformed due to their own backward technical means, and can only be discharged into the air, which is wasted, and it also causes Zhao Kang and other craftsmen to wear thick masks every day - after the cotton is produced, in addition to using cotton quilts and making cotton clothes, it is to let Guo Dalu instruct Da Niu and others to make multi-layer cotton masks, so that the craftsmen can wear them, and reduce the damage of some toxic and harmful gases.
Fortunately, the scale of several workshops and kilns in Guoda Road is not large, although it is unique in the Great Li Dynasty, but compared with the 21st century, it is not even a township enterprise, let alone compared with a large industrial development zone.
Otherwise, Houlong Village would have become the first village in time and space to be poisoned by chemical harmful gases.
Although Guo Dalu is very reluctant to take the road of pollution development first, and then environmental protection, but the goods in his stomach are limited, and it has taken a lot of effort to come up with these tricks.
Guo Dalu now hates to erect a few more blast furnaces, because, there are hundreds of millions of farmers in the Li Dynasty who can't use stainless steel farm tools, if it is not for the limited technical means, no oil can be found, he also wants to make chemical fertilizers and pesticides, to hell with what organic green food, agricultural industrialization, large-scale use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides is the king, in the face of countless hungry and cold faces, what environmentalism and small freshness is the most fucked up thing!
Guo Dalu brought the three cultivators to his home, and met his father Guo Jin and his junior brother Li Hua, and originally wanted Da Niu, Hao Ge'er and others to also see the three cultivators, but the others had something to do, so that's it.
Guo Dalu just wanted to ask the stupid big man to help him go to Zhao Kang to get some wine, but he remembered that the stupid big man had already gone to the northwest with Lou Dalang, so he had to go to the alcohol workshop himself and get a pot of wine.
This wine is naturally not alcohol, but a good high level of liquor, you know, there are many men in the army of the Great Li Dynasty who are good wine, and even those generals are very fond of drinking, although there are military orders, there are not a few people who drink in private.
After the alcohol was transported to the army, those big-headed soldiers soon found that in addition to treating injuries, it can also be used to relieve alcohol, and the alcohol content is extremely high.
Seeing that it was not a problem, the old men and the old men who were in charge of the alcohol distribution in the household department privately sent a letter to Guo Dalu through the young masters, which meant that it was better to be sparse than to ban alcohol in name only, so it was better to ask Houlong Village to brew some really good wine, which was specially supplied to the army for drinking. Naturally, the grain used for brewing is specially supplied by the household department, and it will never embarrass Mr. Houlong in Houlong Village.
After Guo Dalu saw the letter, he smiled bitterly, he knew in his heart that Zhu Shilang was playing the sign of serving special wine for the army, but he actually wanted to sell the best wine brewed in Houlong Village to the folk restaurant at a high price!
No one in this world is a fool, people who have seen alcohol, know that this is actually a new type of wine-making method, some businessmen with heads and faces have long secretly inquired about the secret recipe of wine-making in Houlong Village, and even privately collected clever craftsmen to explore whether they can also make such good wine, but Houlong Village wears a special hat for alcohol and military supply, or a concession of the imperial court, but it is hard to think about it, but it is not possible, and it has taken countless labors and grains to explore it by itself, and it is only slightly stronger than ordinary rice wine, but it is far from alcohol.
Can't come to the hard yin, you can only come to the soft, there are countless guests at the house every day, talking about good wine, as time goes by, the waiters can't stand it, this blocking people's money is like killing their parents, those lobbyists have been anxious, and some of the words they say are not yin and yang, and even take the safety of the old family in Yinxian County to faintly threaten themselves.
Then again, Zhu Shilang also knows that this wine is a great business, which is greater than the original sugar profit of his family, and since the birth of snow sugar, the profit of Zhujia brown sugar has been reduced by a large amount, if you can make a profit on the wine, it is good to make up for some losses.
came and went, and then there was a letter from Zhu Shilang to Guo Dalu, in and out of words, that is, he was asked to raise his hand in the supply of wine, and everyone would send it together if he had money.
If it was placed in the past, Guo Dalu saw this letter and threw it directly into the fire, not to mention the servants, even the emperor Laozi's face is not good, he will never make this wine-making technique public, let alone supply good wine on a large scale. This has nothing to do with whether it makes money or not, it is still a matter of people's livelihood.
If the powerful people take a large amount of grain to steam wine, the price of grain will soar, and I don't know how many people will starve to death!
However, now it is different, because the god bean, that is, the potato, has come out!
Guo Dalu knew that the high yield of potatoes would be two or three years later, a large number of potatoes would crowd the markets of the Great Li Dynasty, and the potatoes would not be durable to be stored for a long time, so they must be deeply processed, otherwise the price would be too low and the farmers would be harmed.
In addition to making starch, vermicelli and feed, potatoes are used to make wine. Potatoes are high in starch and are perfect for steaming wine.
So Guo Dalu and Zhao Kang recently tried Shendou grinding powder steamed wine, this wine is the latest product, and it hasn't even taken a name yet.
Yu Qing and the other three immortal chiefs became the first customers to taste the high-grade wine that Guo Dalu brewed indiscriminately.
Guo Dalu poured the wine into the bowl that served as a wine glass, and Yu Qing snorted: "This wine is so fragrant!"
Guo Dalu said with a smile: "Does Yu Daoyou also like to drink? The taste of this immortal wine is not comparable to ordinary wine in the world, right?"
Yu Qingdao said: "There are also good wines among cultivators, and even those who use immortal art to make wine, but after all, there are very few, because spiritual power is not easy to come by, and using spiritual power to make wine is only for a momentary appetite, and few cultivators are willing to do this." Therefore, most of the wine that cultivators drink is ordinary wine offered by the world, and this taste is nothing but that, but that's it. ”
Guo Da Luqi said: "I see, I thought that if the gods wanted to enjoy good wine and food, they only needed to cast a small spell." ”
Yu Qing said with a smile: "How is that possible, although a cultivator has a spell to the sky, he can't make something out of nothing. There is a Five Ghost Carrying Technique, which can drive the five ghosts to obtain any item from the mortal world according to one's own mind, but that item is originally owned by the mortal world, and the practitioner is just misappropriating it for other purposes, to put it mildly, it is just stealing. However, the vast majority of cultivators have cultivated grains, except for fairy grass and spirit wood, they do not eat the grains of the world, but they are not greedy for all kinds of delicious foods in the world.
