Chapter 558: Distilled and processed wine as medicine, first update
"If you have a skill, it is better than our hard-working soldiers. Craftsmen are popular, there is no need to work hard, and the least one will be awarded ten strings."
Atop the archery tower on the city wall, a soldier holding a telescope for lookout looked at the steam engines and snowmobiles running around with envy on his face.
That was when the comrades were getting familiar with the operation. After they had finished practicing, they pulled the sled and went out to transport the goods.
The craftsmen who participated in making the parts will receive at least ten rewards each, which will be given after they return.
“You haven’t seen the hardship they endured when they were apprentices. The craftsmen who came with the team were only one in a hundred.
They usually have no rewards, but under special circumstances, they built steam engines and other things. , I will give you extra.
You are learning literacy and arithmetic, and when you are good at it, you will figure out how to be a craftsman of parts."
The soldier next to me thought clearly that there is a huge gap between craftsmen and craftsmen. Of course, craftsmen make more money.
Soldiers who fought well received a lot of rewards. Now that they are not fighting, their lives are not in danger, and they still receive military pay every day.
"How do you think Xiaqiu Village figured out how to put coal and water in it, so that the things move on their own, and can also drive other things to move together."
Another soldier stood on the same spot. Stomping his feet and talking, his feet were frozen and his toes were numb from the cold.
"Waterwheel, the waterwheel is connected to something to help grind rice. It is the same as the current thing."
"Why didn't you come up with a flintlock gun and a musket to shine on you?" The statement is also the same. It can be the same."
"I can think of it and stand on the watchtower shivering with cold and have a drink."
"I'm tired of living. It’s not enough to give you fresh vegetables in winter.”
“Xiaqiu Village will make wine with the grain we save, and it’s good to drink just one or two.”
"The craftsmen are good at it. The beer in Yingtian Mansion is just the stuff used in the business between Xiaqiu Village and His Highness King Qin. The germinated wheat is not delicious, so it is made into beer."
< p>"I seem to smell the smell of wine, the smell of lees.""Yes, yes, you can drink the wine after it has been steamed or not."
Soldiers I smelled the alcohol and kept sniffing, feeling as if I had drunk it.
"Your Highnesses, the smell of wine is too strong. Let's go out and wait, otherwise we will fall drunk here."
In the special distillation room, the chief greeted Zhu Biao , Zhu Ping went out, and they came to see the fun.
The herdsmen have fish to eat, and they offer some milk. The horses, cows, sheep, and camels in the army all have milk for a period of time after they give birth.
The milk was usually given to the wounded, and later made into ghee and cheese. Sometimes they also imitated the herdsmen in making kumiss.
The alcohol content of kumis is low, and the army does not have distillation equipment, so the taste is not very good.
The soldiers had alcohol, but they did not dare to drink it. It was used to save their lives.
Considering everyone’s hard work and the cold weather, we made a lot of wine from milk. Now it’s time to distill it.time.
Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi came over to take a look, but Xun was confused. He didn't take a deep breath until he came out.
"I have done a lot of physical work. Drinking wine can really relax people." Zhu Xi raised his sleeves and smelled it, but he couldn't smell the smell of alcohol.
"People who have just finished work have fast heartbeats and fast blood circulation. They should not drink alcohol immediately. They should wait for a while before drinking a little.
Especially not to eat too much If you don't drink enough food, you will easily fall down and bleed from the head without stopping."
The chief first explained the situation. Soldiers and craftsmen work hard and cannot stop drinking. Non-combat attrition occurred.
"Yes, I've heard of it. After winning a war, and then coming back to drink, people are gone." Zhu Biao thought of something.
"If you want to put it into military discipline, you can't drink it to death." Zhu Xi supported.
"It is a pity that the local population is too small. The Ming Dynasty must improve the medical level and reduce the number of people who get sick and die.
At the same time, it will increase the output of the land so that people can have enough to eat, especially As for non-staple food, it is impossible for people not to eat meat.
If you use soybeans instead, you will easily develop stones, and soybeans are not cheap."
Li Chang said. The population of the Ming Dynasty was an auxiliary problem. The population was originally small, especially after the war, people became sick and died.
The key areas produce little food, and there are many uncultivated lands, making it difficult to farm in the mountains.
You need to dig out the mountains before you can have flat land. Otherwise, you need to use terraced fields. Terraced fields require livestock, but it is no problem to plow and harrow the plains with steam engine-powered equipment.
Zhu Biao and the others listened, saying that if there is no water on the mountain during the terraced fields, then a steam engine should be put in, a screw diversion machine would be used to transfer the water up, and canals could be built from above for irrigation.
A reservoir can be built on the top of the mountain. It must be covered well to prevent people from falling in and drowning.
People who work there must tie a rope. If they fall in, they can get up by grabbing the rope, and steps can be built into the pool.
Especially for children, those who cannot swim are not allowed to play close to it, and those who can swim are not prepared to jump into the reservoir.
Zhu Biao asked someone to come over and help him remember it. He was afraid that he would forget it as soon as he turned around. Regardless of the trivial things the director said, they were all targeted.
Herdsmen were the first to get wine. They could only make low-alcohol fermented milk wine without distillation equipment.
In the past, butter was made just like the herdsmen Zhu Biao’s team met on the road, using wooden barrels and wooden plugs to whip it.
Now they also have a hand-cranked milk separator, which saves a lot of effort and time.
"Luo Lu, they said that if they want to drink strong wine in the future, they will take the milk wine they made to the city and the castle.
They helped with the distillation , just leave some cheese-making stuff for them.
This wine is too strong, so you have to sip it in small sips, and you will get drunk after a few sips, so that you can save it.”
Ta Ji. Driving the children to study, the mother-in-law arrivedLuo Lu's family was doing handicrafts and Luo Lu was invited to have a drink.
The two of them had two taels each and had smoked fish and a plate of cucumber sticks.
The cucumbers were divided today. His family of seven was given four cucumbers. He took out one and cut it into strips not much thicker than cucumber shreds.
Two people ate these cucumber strips with dipping sauce, which they treasured very much.
Not to mention winter, in previous summers, if they wanted to eat cucumbers, they had to go to the south near the Yellow River. Others grew cucumbers, and they exchanged them for cheese and ghee.
Mainly to change the salt, I need a few cucumbers along the way. Too many are useless and cannot be stored.
Eating cucumbers in summer already feels good, let alone winter.
Luo Lu brought a few lettuce leaves, a handful of green onions, and a plate of salted dried tofu.
In the past, they would have mutton to eat. If they killed the sheep in winter, they could keep it for a long time and get some when eating.
Now I am reluctant to kill them. The old ones that cannot bear cubs have been given to the prince and the King of Qin.
So now there are always vegetables to eat. It is an exchange and I guarantee that you will not suffer any losses, including the sauce. This is Jubiqi's black bean sauce. It is very dry and needs to be stir-fried with water.
Luo Lu picked up a piece of salted dried tofu, bit off half a centimeter of it, and said with a click, "Their snowmobiles are great, they can only run fast on the snow in winter
< p>We will discuss with them later to see if we can tell them the place where we will set up our tents in the winter. They will come every two days.My family is going to do half-grazing and half-farming, so it will be easy to manage. That kind of thing, then go to graze and stop following the water plants.
You can also live in a fixed place or next to the earthen castle. "Please remember to bookmark the website, the fastest and free of charge. To find and add books, you can join the qq group 952868558
