Chapter 511: Simple Gifts for Sheep, Third Update
The young general glanced at the Chief and nodded. Along the way, he already knew the identity of the Chief.
He was very grateful that the flintlocks, explosives, logistics supplies of meat floss, alcohol and other items in the team were all promoted by Xiaqiu Village.
The technology of Xiaqiu Village also helps the palace earn money, so that His Majesty can have money to make things for the soldiers in front.
The army was able to defeat the Yuan army and win. Very few people died, and Xiaqiu Village took part of the credit.
"Can the chief tell me what it is?" the young general asked tentatively.
"The moment a life-saving device is taken out, the team will be at the end of its rope." Li Chang replied with a smile.
"You don't have to ask. The commander won't say anything. We don't want him to take it out. The current situation is very good, all the way to He Lin. We don't want anyone to die in the team."
Zhu He knew that he couldn't ask, let alone forcefully remove it. Anyway, if he didn't take it out, it would prove that the team was fine.
After the meal, the tents were set up one by one. Everyone went to the river to get water, and returned to the tent to wipe their bodies with towels as a bath.
Two steam engines hummed, supplying electricity to the prince, King Qin, and the camp in Xiaqiu Village, while making extruded feed from concentrate for horses and camels.
The feed will be sweet after being puffed. Horses and camels love to eat it and feel good after eating it.
When they set up their carriages again in the morning and hit the road again, the horses and camels cooperated very well. Apparently they also knew that the road ahead was flat, at least there was no shortage of grass.
This area belongs to the Hetao area and has always been a good place to raise livestock.
As the team advanced, they met local herdsmen. After giving the herdsmen some tea leaves and a few iron pots, the herdsmen became enthusiastic.
They were too far away from the Ming Dynasty, and they were unwilling to get close to the Northern Yuan Dynasty. They just wanted to survive. If they were not beaten during the war, they would continue to graze here.
So at noon, a few people including Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi ate pasta made with butter.
"Is the thing they make clean?" Zhu Xi always has something to worry about. He is afraid that this kind of milk-based butter is not clean.
“It’s not very clean. They beat it out bit by bit, and then put the butter into the basin with their hands, but we heated it.”
The manager admitted that this thing is something that no one else has It’s not that particular when it’s made.
"There is one in the palace, how can you make it without bringing it with you?" Zhu Chong had a lot of questions.
"Your Highness, you can ask them if they still have any milk to make ghee. We can help. It can be done quickly and cleanly.
How about we make a simple ghee for them? Ghee tools will make them less troublesome in the future.
They cannot do without butter, and they will think of His Royal Highness the Prince and His Highness King Qin every time they make butter. ”
Li Chang said. I wanted to help. The butter is easy to extract, but the tools of Guanglu Temple are from the village. Otherwise, Guanglu Temple would pump and press them back and forth like others.
"Is it easy to do?" ZhuI just wanted to do the locals a favor.
“It’s simple, just use wood, a centrifugal device, hand-cranked, and then the ghee will come out while the remaining stuff will come out, and the leftover can be made into cheese after fermentation.
After dinner, I will draw a picture. There are some in the village and in Guanglu Temple. We can make them and sell them to those who raise cattle and sheep in the future."
The village chief nodded and speeded up his meal.
The drawings were good. The craftsmen took a look at them and immediately made ten of them out of wood. The remaining two were scattered and unassembled. In order to let the locals know what they looked like, they could make them if they had the time.
It just so happened that local herdsmen saved some milk and goat milk to make ghee.
The tools were brought over and asked them to pour the milk in. The two connecting basins were placed, and the craftsmen began to shake. After a while, butter began to come out on one side and the remaining milk on the other.
The herdsmen ""
They were shocked. They had always used wooden tubes and then used a wooden plug to press up and down, which was very tiring.
The key is that if you use too much force, the milk will easily spill out, so you need to control your strength.
What you have in front of you is just a shake, and it can be separated directly without having to take it out with your hands.
The craftsmen assemble a set of parts and then disassemble them for the herdsmen to see.
Zhu Biao and Zhu Ping came over and, on behalf of the court and their father, gave these hand-cranked milk separators to the herdsmen, hoping that the herdsmen would help make them when they saw other herdsmen.
The herdsmen knelt down and kowtowed, saying that they would teach others, thank the Majesty, the Prince, and the King of Qin
"It's so simple, it reminds us of the honey-shaking tool, the same principle. ”
When the team marched again, Zhu Xi thought that the milk separator had no technical content.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin said it is simple. Once you know the formula, it is also very simple to make colored glaze. The blast furnace for smelting iron is not difficult. The open furnace is just a pit."
The director nodded in agreement, you are right, there is nothing wrong with it, it is very simple.
"In the future, the herdsmen will save trouble and eat mutton at night." Zhu Xi changed the topic.
The herdsmen took the things and gave two sheep in return. In the eyes of the herdsmen, the hand-cranked equipment was valuable and solved a big problem. It will not be so laborious in the future.
Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi returned the gift, giving each other a few pieces of soap, dozens of pieces of soap, and twenty kitchen knives.
The other party wanted to continue sending sheep, and even prepared to kill the cow. But he was stopped and could not send back and forth like this. That was enough.
For herdsmen, soap, soap and kitchen knives are all good things. They are often exposed to grease, and the skin texture of their hands and the gaps between their nails are black, and they cannot be cleaned with normal water.
When you rub it with soap, the water that can be used as ink will flow down, and the soap will smell good when bathing.
Chop knives are as practical as iron pots. Herdsmen don’t have iron, so they need to exchange it with others. Others don’t have much iron either, so they are all precious.
For example, the blacksmith who made a living by making iron in the Ming Dynasty had a rich family, and was richer and more respected than the pig butcher.
"I'll make sizzling mutton tonight, and there are some dried vegetables, let's soak them now."
The teacher is indispensable, let the children find the dried vegetables and put them in the bucket to soak Serve, otherwise it will be too greasy to eat only mutton.
In the evening, the sizzling mutton was served, and the other meat was given to the palace maids and the weak people in the team to make up for it.
For example, young generals and others who have walked to Yulin and then turned around and followed back, they also need to make up for their mistakes.
"How can the people from Beiyuan survive when there is sand there?"
Zhu Xi drank hot white wine and felt less cold, and talked about the road ahead.
"Desert does not just refer to desert, desert is also a desert. Deserts include deserts, Gobis, and barren lands where grass does not grow well.
The degree of danger there is that you cannot We can find water and food, but there are also some wild animals and insects.
Our horses need the most care after we go there. This is a desert, and in winter, we can only eat some grass. Grass roots.
Generally goats can survive there. They dig up grass roots to eat, but once their hooves are damaged, they will be dead.
If it snows in other grassland areas in winter. "Whether it is a goat or a sheep, what they are most afraid of is using their hooves to shave ice."
Li Chang explained the conditions of the desert. If there is no anti-theft, you can find and add books for free. You can join the qq group 952868558
