Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 129 Two-tailed scorpion making straw cotton
Looking at the sulfuric acid and caustic soda made by the father and son, Sun Xin couldn't help patting Li Zhi and his two second sons on the shoulders and said, "You guys have really worked hard."

Xie Bao also stood forward with a smile. Li Zhi and the others worked hard to make sulfuric acid and caustic soda, and Sun Xin entrusted him with a series of preparations and overall planning.

Sun Xin gently pushed Jie Bao's shoulder and said, "You're not bad either."

Xie Bao rubbed his shoulders and smiled straight. Although he was brainless, he was only a child in his early teens, and he was very grateful for Master's praise.

Today, several leaders and managers of Sunjiazhuang had a temporary meeting under Sun Xin's call, and they all came to Sunjiazhuang's pharmaceutical workshop at this time.

The sulfuric acid and caustic soda made by Sun Xin had repeatedly warned that it was dangerous, and Li Zhi and his two adopted sons were injured in front of them. Everyone present knew how powerful this thing was, so they didn't swarm up to it.

When Sun Xin opened those things, Zou Run was a little confused and said, "Master, can you make the cotton you mentioned with just these two things?"

The other leaders were also in a daze, completely unable to imagine how the cotton should be made.

Sun Xin said to Xie Bao with a smile: "You can operate it yourself and try it out."

In the past few days, Li Zhi has also devoted himself to the production of straw cotton. He has operated it himself and understood the principle, so he also volunteered: "The owner, I will also help."

"Twenty-eight pennies per catty."

Because the fungus was cultivated at the foot of Dengyun Mountain, whatever was harvested was used, so that batch of cultivated mushrooms turned out to be chanterelles that were sold at a very low price in the previous life.The yield of that thing is the lowest under Dengyun Mountain. As for the shiitake mushrooms and bisporus mushrooms that are mainly grown in Qianshi, these are wild mushrooms that are not found in the south. At that time, Xie Bao could find anything he wanted.

Throw this lump back into a small bamboo basket, hang it into the retting pool to soak, use a wooden spoon to stir running water to wash off the residual acid on the surface, and then put it in an oven to dry.

That set of operations is a simple method that we have figured out. According to Li Zhi's experience, the water in the copper basin is cooled to that extent, and the temperature of the liquid in the porcelain tank is about [-] degrees as the master said.

Zou Run picked up a wooden stick and stood nearby, carefully stirring the straw in the porcelain vat.

Xie Bao used that method to produce straw fiber in his previous life, because the cost of cotton in his previous life was too high, plus the cost of processing industrial waste for producing straw fiber, the straw fiber was completely uncompetitive in the market in his previous life.But I would have thought that the development cost of straw fiber was actually higher than that of spinning in those years.

Zhiqiao nodded and let us continue. Several medicine workers added another fire to the porcelain vat. At the same time, Li Zhi and Li Zi slowly poured the straws destroyed by the dustpan into the porcelain vat.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard the words, it was even higher than the price of reed flowers in the market, as long as they bought seven or eight catties, it was enough to fill a very warm clothes, even if the poor outside Dengzhou City spent more than half of it. A month's wages can also afford it.

For half a month, Sun Xin and Xie Zhen were busy in the greenhouse.

When the dilute sulfuric acid is poured, the acid-base neutralization produces a small amount of cold, and the column of straw will soon become smoky.

Li Zhi and Zou Run breathed a sigh of relief when all the straw was stirred out of the water and fully soaked.

Zou Yuan clicked his tongue in admiration: "We can always produce [-] catties of wheat stalks per acre of ground every year. If we keep doing that, will it become a cornucopia?"

The straw will stop ablation as soon as it encounters concentrated alkaline water, and it will become softer.

The strains used by the two are wild strains collected from the foot of Dengyun Mountain. The survival rate is not low, but within half a month, Xie Zhen and her nephew successfully planted the strains under the wheat straw bag. Qiaolang's first batch of artificially cultivated bacteria.

Before Li Zhi and Zou Run started, Xie Bao took Xiaojia to see the research results of Xie Zhen and Sun Xin.Today, Xie Bao brought all the heads of the village to see the production technology of straw cotton.

While adding the liquid in the cold cylinder, a large copper basin was placed on the surface of the liquid, and half full of hot water was scooped in the basin.

As soon as Tao Zongwang touched the soft fiber wadding, he was pleasantly surprised: "Master, it's a bad thing. It feels softer than linen yarn. As long as you find a few women to spin it with a spinning wheel, it can't be sold as linen thread, and it can't be woven into linen." Okay, even if it is directly hammered like that, it can't be used as a stuffing for winter clothes. How much does it cost us to produce that thing?"

Seeing that we have made it to that step in danger, Jiebao is also relieved, and asks Xiaojia to go to the side to rest first, the soaking process will take the next half an hour.Before eating tea for half an hour, the straw in the porcelain vat had not yet been soaked in caustic soda. Zhi Qiao and Li Zhi took the straw out of the porcelain vat together, and then added the straw to the pot. The bad dilute sulfuric acid is degraded and neutralized.

Just like growing greenhouse vegetables requires light-transmitting glass, growing edible fungi does not require sunlight, as long as sufficient nutrients and temperature and humidity are provided, so it is impossible to grow edible fungi in those years.

It took two hours before and after, and the first scale was weighed, and [-] catties of straw yielded [-] catties of straw fiber.

The fiber length of the straw fiber produced is generally eight to eight centimeters, which is less than the fiber length of the hemp yarn. That kind of barley straw fiber is not smooth in the past, and it is especially blended with cotton or chemical fiber to be used as a fiber thread. But in those days, it was not considered a very soft material. It needed such a simple treatment. Xie Bao asked two farmers to put the straw fibers together and beat them, and soon those moist straw fibers became entangled. It turned into a special lump of cotton wool.

We all know the power of caustic soda water before we have operated it a few times. The thing is cooled to about [-] degrees, and it is bubbling and bubbling. The whole piece of skin was burnt alive.

Pour out all the dilute sulfuric acid, and stir it for a while, the acid-base neutralization is also less, and the straw in this row has not yet turned into rotten fibers.

The alkaline water in the porcelain vat quickly gave off white smoke, and the temperature gradually increased until the surface of the liquid boiled slightly. Then the two men brought up the big heart of the copper basin under the water surface. Li Zhi took a bubbled vermicelli and put it in Stepping out of the copper basin, he took off his gloves and pinched his pulse to count. The vermicelli was slightly softened after the pulse beat a hundred or so, so Li Zhi nodded and looked at Zhiqiao and said, "Master, the temperature is enough. gone."

The main reason is that the fiber of wheat straw burned with weak alkali is softer than hemp yarn. Since it has passed through the step of weak alkali, it is necessary to choose what raw material.And it also costs money to treat the waste water.

Zhi Qiao and Li Zhi sloppily put on the leather gloves and apron made of suede, and put on a mask that could not prevent the liquid from splashing under the face, and then poured the prepared soda ash into the It is diluted in a small porcelain jar, and there is no dealer on the porcelain jar to heat and cool.

The pharmacist brought up the prepared straw.

These straws have all been cut into two-inch long pieces, and each straw has been broken into seven parts. Li Zhi specially found Tang Long and made a kind of socket knife, and inserted the straws from one end to the other. Pulling can break the straw into seven pieces.
