Chapter 637 Harvesters and Rice Transplanters

Bear's paw, Li Chongyuan has never done it.

Just because you haven't done it doesn't mean you can't do it.

Moreover.

As long as you know the ingredients, you can know the general processing method. Moreover, when Li Chongyuan was in the inn in Wudang County, he also recalled some things on the Internet in his previous life, about the processing method of bear paws, and how to make them.

and so.

As soon as Li Chongyuan got home, he started to deal with the bear paws.

someone will ask.

It took almost ten days to bring the bear's paw to Xixiang from such a far place in Wudang County, isn't it bad?
Of course not.

For these four bear paws, Li Chongyuan used ice cubes to preserve them.

Someone will ask again, where did the ice come from?
Ha ha.

Although no one can make ice today, the ancients were not so stupid.

Although ice cannot be made artificially, some people will dig underground cellars and store ice in winter.

If the cellar is large, there will definitely be a lot of ice stored there.

In the guesthouse in Wudang County, the owner of the guesthouse did not miss the money for these ice cubes.

"Xiao Langjun, let me do it, you can direct." After returning home, before Li Chongyuan started to work, Xingba took over Li Chongyuan's work.

Li Chongyuan was also happy, "That's fine, you just do what I said. Put the bear's paw inside with some quicklime, then add some water to remove the smell and fur of the bear's paw, and then"

Li Chongyuan was in command, and Xingba and others started to work.

And this time.

Murphy was eating the breakfast delivered by Li Chongyuan in the shipyard.

While eating a delicious breakfast, I drew simple pictures.

Wan Hong Yu Rong and the others next to him have been staring at the blueprint in front of Mo Fei curiously, wanting to see what kind of farm tool Mo Fei is going to draw.

The morning passed in a busy way.

noon.

Mo Fei was still eating the delicious dishes Li Chongyuan sent over, and he also had a jug of turbid wine.

As for the bear's paw, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it today.

This stuff is hard to do.

Moreover, Li Chongyuan didn't plan to make it today.

He had to wait for Murphy to draw the drawings of the agricultural tools for harvesting rice before he invited Murphy to eat the bear's paw.

There is a saying.

You can't have both.

Putting it in the moment, it should be the scene.

Although there were no bear paws, the lunch that Li Chongyuan gave Mo Fei was extremely delicious, which made the delicious Mo Fei look at Li Chongyuan again.

"It seems that I have to stay here for a while. It's so delicious. If I leave, I won't have a chance to eat it in the future. It's just a pity that there is no good wine. If there is good wine, it can be paired with this delicious food. That is a great blessing in life." Mo Fei, who was eating delicious dishes and drinking dirty wine, sighed.

Murphy is delicious, but also greedy.

If it wasn't for his gluttony, Li Chongyuan might not have met this big cow.

in the afternoon.

Wan Hong came to Li Chongyuan's house, "Marquis Li, the Mr. Mo you asked me to watch, he is really capable. Just this morning, he said that the propulsion power of the ship was changed to a connecting bar. I heard Afterwards, it immediately came to my mind. It turned out that he explained the things I couldn't figure out all the time. Li Xianhou, if there is such a person in the shipyard, it will be easy for us to build bigger ships in the future. of."

Wan Hong and the others still call Li Chongyuan Marquis of Li County.

It is also because Chao Ting's official document has not yet reached Xixiang, and Li Chongyuan's promotion to the county king has not been passed on here.

Of course, when Li Chongyuan returned to Xixiang, he didn't talk too much.

Even Xing Ba and others never mentioned this matter.

and so.

From top to bottom, even Xiang Si didn't know that Li Chongyuan had been promoted as Xixiang County King.

Otherwise, when Li Chongyuan and the others came back yesterday evening, Xiang Sifei had to call everyone over to greet Li Chongyuan, the king of Xixiang County.

Not to mention, it just happened to avoid some customary etiquette.

However, this customary ceremony is now exempted. When the official documents of the imperial court arrive in Xixiang, it is estimated that this customary ceremony will still be unavoidable, and it may be enlarged by Xiangsi.

Wan Hong ran over to talk to Li Chongyuan at this time, naturally because Li Chongyuan had confessed to him.

Naturally, Wan Hong would pay close attention to what Li Chongyuan explained.

"You think so, of course I think so too. However, it is impossible for Murphy to stay here for a long time. After the matter is over, I will have a good talk with him to see what he means After all, it is okay for us to build small and medium-sized ships, but once we build large ships, we will be a bit stretched." Of course, Li Chongyuan hoped that what Wan Hong said would come true.

But this matter is really not up to Li Chongyuan to decide.

The right to decide is in the hands of Mo Fei, not Li Chongyuan.

Wan Hong was also a little worried when he heard the words, "Mr. Li County, should we show Mr. Mo the blueprint we designed? Maybe he will be able to spot the problem at a glance, and then help us to correct it." .”

The blueprint that Wan Hong mentioned was a Type B paddle steamer.

Whether its length or width, it is nearly twice as large as a C-type paddle steamer.

The design drawing of the Type B paddle steamer has been released long ago, but because of the need to build the Type C paddle steamer, it has not been built yet.

Moreover.

Neither Li Chongyuan's shipyard nor the wharf was sufficient to support the construction of Type B paddle steamers.

Of course, even this ocean water is not enough for Type B paddle steamers to navigate in its channel.

If Li Chongyuan wanted to build a B-type paddle steamer, he had to go to the seaside.

Only by building a large wharf on the seashore, and then building a large shipyard, can we start building Type B paddle steamers, or even Type A paddle steamers, etc.

But then again.

If the Type B paddle steamer is built in the shipyard, it is not completely impossible to launch at the dock, nor is it completely impossible to sail in ocean water.

As long as you are careful, you won't hit the bottom, or touch the low banks on both banks.

But the requirements for the skills of the boatmen who operate the boat are too high.

and so.

Li Chongyuan has been planning to build a large dock and a large shipyard on the coast recently.

Although the cost will increase a lot, and even the transportation of wood may increase a lot.

but.

If Li Chongyuan wanted to build a type A paddle steamer, or a ship similar in size to a type A paddle steamer, he had to take this step.

"Let's wait for a few days to see this matter. After I discuss with him, I will decide whether to show him the design of the paddle steamer. At present, you still mainly build the C-type paddle steamer first. If If Mr. Mo needs something, or someone who needs your cooperation, you should try your best to cooperate." Li Chongyuan didn't think about showing Mo Fei the design of the ship for the time being.

It's not that Li Chongyuan didn't want to, but because of Mo Fei's character, Li Chongyuan hasn't seen it clearly until now.

The design drawing of the ship is the most important thing.

If it is taken away by some caring people, the consequences can be imagined.

Wan Hong didn't say anything more, and after getting Li Chongyuan's confession, he returned to the shipyard and continued to work on him.

His task this year is still quite heavy.

Within a year, he and the people under him need to build two C-[-] paddle steamers, which is not an easy task.

Busy, that's for sure.

Some are busy, and that is life.

In the afternoon and evening, Mo Fei stopped the brush in his hand, dried the ink, and looked at the blueprint he made with admiration, "This should be almost the same, as long as the things are built, they will be assembled together." It can help the common people to speed up the harvesting of rice.”

"Mr. Mo, have you finished the painting?" Wan Hong kept paying attention to Mo Fei, and when he saw that Mo Fei was done, he stopped what he was doing and ran over.

Mo Fei pointed to the blueprint on the table, "Follow the blueprint to build the things on it. By the way, where is Mr. Li Lang? Has he prepared bear paws for me?"

"It should be done. Mr. Mo, why don't we go to see Li County Marquis together." Wan Hong didn't listen to Mo Fei's words, he wanted Li Chongyuan to take a look at the picture drawn by Mo Fei first.

Murphy had no comment.

Wan Hong led Mo Fei, followed by Yu Rong and Wang Guan.

After arriving at Li Chongyuan's residence, Mo Fei's nose began to inhale non-stop, "Li Langjun, how is the bear's paw?"

As soon as he saw Li Chongyuan, Mo Fei's foodie character was immediately revealed.

"Mr. Mo, if you want to eat delicious bear's paws, you can't make them in a short while. I'm afraid it won't work today, but tomorrow, tomorrow will definitely let Mr. Mo eat delicious bear's paws." Li Chongyuan is already Seeing the blueprint in Wan Hong's hand, his heart moved.

But if you move your heart again, Mo Fei will not be able to taste this bear's paw until tomorrow.

Murphy nodded, "That's right. You can eat good things in a short while. How delicious is it to eat today? I've been busy all day, so you can't just let me go."

"Then how can it be, Mr. Mo, sit down for a while, this meal will be ready in a while." Li Chongyuan winked at Wan Hong and the three, and asked Xiang Si to greet Mo Fei.

After a while.

After seeing the blueprints, Li Chongyuan couldn't understand what Mo Fei was drawing, but as long as the blueprints came out, everything would be easy.

Li Chongyuan didn't have a strong spatial combination ability, so it was impossible to know what Mo Fei had drawn just from the bits and pieces drawn on the blueprint.

"Go and arrange it, and make it as soon as possible. The sickle-shaped thing, let Lao Xu and the others build it, and try to build it at noon tomorrow." Li Chongyuan confessed to Wan Hong and the others after looking at the blueprint.

After the three got the words, they started to act.

When it gets dark.

Li Chongyuan accompanied Mo Fei, eating delicious dishes, drinking dirty wine, and talking at the same time.

The dinner table.

Li Chongyuan said with a smile: "Mr. Mo, you see that you are a big man. You have drawn all the agricultural tools for harvesting rice. Otherwise, can you help me draw another agricultural tool for planting rice seedlings? I think you can see it too, Mr. Mo." However, when the farmers and common people sow the rice seedlings, the speed is slow, and it is all manpower, bent and hunchbacked. Besides, there is only so little time in the farming season. If the time for sowing the rice seedlings can be shortened, it will be beneficial to the peasants and common people. Speaking of which, that’s a good harvest.”

Li Chongyuan chatted with Mo Fei at the dinner table for a long time. When he thought about the farm tools for harvesting, could Mo Fei get out the farm tools for planting rice seedlings?

past life.

The most annoying thing for Li Chongyuan when he was a child was transplanting rice seedlings and harvesting rice.

If these two things can be resolved, not to mention the bear's paw, even if Mo Fei wants to eat white meat, Li Chongyuan will definitely let someone beat him.

Mo Fei took a sip of the turbid wine, clicked his tongue twice, and said, "Although the farm tools are simple, the wine has no taste. Li Langjun, you are the governor of Yangzhou, and you can do practical things for the people. I respect you."

wipe.

Li Chongyuan understood.

Although Mo Fei said that he was complimenting Li Chongyuan, the meaning in his words was obviously talking about wine.

Moreover, what Murphy said did not match the preamble.

If Li Chongyuan couldn't understand, then it would be a waste of time.

"Mr. Mo, you see me too. I almost forgot about it. Eighth, go and get two bowls of the good wine I brought from Chang'an. No matter what today, I have to satisfy Mr. Mo." Li Chongyuan smiled inwardly. .

Delicious and good wine.

Is this Mojiazi?This is a glutton.

Li Chongyuan even wondered if Mo Fei was like those nobles in Chang'an, who started to lose his way when he saw good wine and good food.

When he got the words, he immediately made two bowls of burning knives and came over.

When the two bowls of burning knives were placed in front of and behind Murphy's feet, Murphy's eyes were straightened.

Wine is needless to say.

The three jars of wine that Li Chongyuan brought from Chang'an are definitely the purest burning knives.

One word, Lie.

After Mo Fei took a sip, he shouted loudly: "Good wine, this is called good wine. Li Langjun, what you said just now, I agree."

After drinking, Murphy is so straight.

But speaking of it, Mo Fei seemed to be really straightforward no matter what he said or what he did.

That night.

After drinking two bowls of burning knives, Mo Fei passed out immediately.

Fortunately, after waking up the next day, Murphy did not forget what he promised Li Chongyuan at the dinner table yesterday, and went to the shipyard to draw pictures early in the morning.

And that night.

Murphy finally tasted what Li Chongyuan did.

The bear paws paired with burning knives made Murphy feel completely addicted.

And even Li Chongyuan said it was enjoyable.

Three days later.

When the two farm tools drawn by Murphy were created.

Under Li Chongyuan's nervousness, Mo Fei assembled it skillfully.

Not a moment later, a farm tool for planting rice seedlings appeared in front of Li Chongyuan.

"Good thing, good thing. It seems simple, but it is so complicated to make. Mr. Mo, you really opened the eyes of the kid." Li Chongyuan looked at the rice seedling planter, which was really an eye-opener.

With a push and a lift, a row of ten rice seedlings were inserted directly into the field.

And when the harvesting tools were assembled by Mo Fei, Li Chongyuan was amazed again and again, "This is a man-made thing."

The rice is cut, bundled, pushed and released in one go.

And there was no need to bend over at all, and the speed was even several times faster than that of a human. Whether it was Li Chongyuan or everyone else, they were all shocked on the spot.

Looking at these two agricultural tools, Li Chongyuan wondered if Mo Fei had seen the modern agricultural machinery in his previous life.
