Chapter 15 Earthshaking
"Brother--" Nunu thought he had caused a big disaster, so he looked at Li Feng pitifully, tears kept circling in his eyes.
Li Feng hurriedly held the little guy in his arms and rubbed her little head: "It's okay, it's okay, a piece of adobe collapsed, it's not that the sky collapsed, just replace it with one."
He asked Rakshasa to change a piece of blanket, put the piece on mud again, and everything returned to its original state. Nunu also smiled again, but the little guy was very sensible and never jumped on the kang again.
After this model, the villagers finally realized the magic of the kang, so the construction team immediately became popular. After working for less than two days, they had to stop work: the autumn was received, and all the strong laborers had to be busy packing crops and building the kang, and they could only postpone the work.
Taking advantage of the autumn harvest, Li Feng also went to the fields to take a walk. In this era, nothing more than grains were planted. Winter wheat had been harvested long ago, so the main harvests in autumn were hemp, millet (yellow rice), millet (meal), beans (beans). In Guanzhong, there is no history of growing rice.
The impression given to Li Feng is that the output is generally not high. If you want to talk about the 800-li Qinchuan, it is also a famous granary. It is not enough to rely on Li Feng's experience, the yield per mu shall not exceed 200 kilograms at most. It seems that you have to put some effort into this in the future.
I originally wanted to experience the fun of autumn harvest, but was dragged home by the old housekeeper. There was no way, so Li Feng just focused on fiddling with the medicinal materials he bought and studied the distillation of liquor.
The degree of liquor in this era is really not high. Although there are no accurate measurement tools, Li Feng estimated that it would not exceed twenty degrees. No wonder the Tang people "have to drink three hundred cups in one drink".
It also makes distillation difficult invisibly, so steam it a few more times. The best effect of medical alcohol is 75 degrees, and the effect is minimal.
Finally, the two jars of wine were extracted with only a small can of alcohol, which was probably good if it could be one pound. Based on the feeling of being a doctor for many years, the degree should be around 70 degrees.
With alcohol, there is still a lack of medicinal cotton. Li Feng has learned in the market that there is no cotton sold in the Central Plains. However, there is a plant like cotton growing in the emperor's garden, but it is for ornamental use.
Li Feng felt that cotton must be introduced into it as soon as possible, which also involved his follow-up plan. With cotton, making cotton coats, there was no need to worry about the severe cold.
He had already discussed with Persian merchant Mu Guiying that the origin of cotton was in India. In Gaochang, west of the Great Sui Dynasty, cotton had been planted long ago, and cotton was also processed into cloth, called "white folding cloth", which was white and soft. (It seems that something strange)
Gaochang Kingdom was in the Turpan area of later generations, and Li Feng had entrusted Mu Guiying to help purchase cotton seeds.
Mu Guiying naturally agreed and told him that he would transport goods back to Persia in a few days. When he was passing through Gaochang, he would purchase cotton seeds and ask his subordinates to bring them back to Li Feng.
Li Feng was not well-off at all, so he asked him to deduct the profits of toothbrush and toothpaste. But Mu Guiying shook his hands repeatedly, saying that there was no need. Instead, he asked for a few four-line poems from Li Feng, and they were all from Persian originals, so he left happily.
It seems that it is not only the people of the Sui and Tang dynasties who love poetry and prose, but the beautiful poetry are killed all over the world.
During the autumn harvest period, Li Feng ran to Daxing City again. He asked the old butler to breathe a sigh of relief. This time, it was mainly about picking up goods and no more money was spent.
Medical devices are made at a priority level. They were sorted out by Li Feng and specially packed with a wooden box. There are also commonly used medicines inside. On the back of the medicine box, Li Feng felt that he finally had a bit of the style of traveling to the world.
During this period, Mu Guiying also brought people to Longquan Village to take away the toothbrush and tooth powder. Because of the busy farming season, only about half of the production was the last time.
Mu Guiying, a fat guy with a chubby head, still has some brains. He also proposed to make toothbrushes of different grades, the most advanced ones, and even use ivory as handles, specifically sold to the so-called nobles.
This proposal is pretty good, but I can’t get a small handmade workshop for families like Longquan Village, so I can only do it slowly.
Li Feng used the 55% distribution to share the money with Mu Guiying. After all, he is still planning to cooperate with this guy for a long time.
The money was all taken from Li Feng's profits, and the villagers remained unchanged. So the old butler complained, but it was not easy to complain to Li Feng.
During this period, what made Li Feng most happy was that he finally extracted the penicillin and was overjoyed.
That’s right, it’s penicillin. Collect mycelium from steamed bread with long hair and then cultivate it. Li Feng completed this kind of experiment when he was in school, and it was not difficult.
The only disadvantage is that it cannot be produced on a large scale on industrial scale, and can only be made in small quantities. Li Feng is kept for emergencies and will not be taken out easily, so there is no need to be too many for the time being.
The villagers were busy in the fields, and Li Feng was busy at home, so his life was quite fulfilling. During this period, Li Hou also brought some soybeans he had made to them for food.
"Did you plant mung beans at home?" Li Fengshun asked, but he really planted them, but he harvested them early and had already returned to the warehouse.
So he asked for some mung beans again, and Li Feng was a little greedy for mung bean sprouts. Speaking of which, Emperor Yang of Sui's vegetable basket project was too bad. Except for sausage (Chinese cabbage), he often ate wild vegetables.
The mung bean sprouts are all grown. After frying, sprinkle some fine salt and can add some rice to some food. At this time, the soybeans are a little small.
After a autumn rain, Li Feng took Nunu and took his family's Rakshasa to pick mushrooms. There was a shortage of vegetables, which would be even worse in winter. Therefore, it is still necessary to keep dried mushrooms for eating in winter.
After leaving the village and walking north, there was a forest near the ruins of Afang Palace. Nunu was too young. After walking for a while, Li Feng saw that the little guy was a little tired, so he put her on his back. Anyway, he didn't have a few taels of meat.
As he walked, he heard a whispering sound from his back. Then Li Feng felt Nunu's little face pressing against his back. He might be embarrassed: "Brother, Nunu Doudou has eaten too much."
Li Feng held back his laughter, and then felt his stomach rumbling. It seemed that he should not eat too much fried soybeans, and the sequelae were still very serious.
So he put Nunu on the ground, and he walked a few steps aside, saying, "There are three urgent things for people, and this is all normal reactions. Brother, I am also--"
He heard a loud bang, deafening, as if a thunderbolt was blowing on the sunny day, making Nunu sit on the ground. Even Yasha Rakshasa covered his ears and looked at Li Feng in shock: Dalang's fart is shocking!
Nunu blinked his big eyes: "Brother, you are so awesome--"
This is also praised - Li Feng's face turned black: "It's not me!"
Looking around, I saw a building not far away. It seemed to be a temple or a Taoist temple, and there was a ball of black smoke rising from the yard.
Let's take a look! Li Feng carried Nunu on his back, ran around and ran towards the building over there. From a distance, he saw the three big words "Qingyun Temple" written on the main entrance. It seemed to be a Taoist temple.
The side door next to it was open, and Li Feng rushed in directly, and saw that the yard at the front was in a mess, with several people who looked like Taoist priests busy there. In the corner of the yard, there was something like a elixir furnace that was tilted to the ground.
