Villager of Daming

Chapter 511 Simple things give sheep (third change)

The young general glanced at the chief and nodded. Along the way, he already knew the identity of the chief.

He is very grateful that the flintlock guns, explosives, logistics meat floss, alcohol and other things in the team were all promoted by Xiaqiu Village.

Xiaqiu Village provided technology and helped the palace earn money so that His Majesty could make money for the soldiers in front.

The army was able to defeat the Yuan army and win the victory, but very few people died, and Xiaqiu Village took part of the credit.

"Can the chief tell you what it is?" the young general asked tentatively.

"The moment the life-saving things are taken out, the team is at the end of their rope." Li Chang replied with a smile.

"You don't need to ask. If the commander doesn'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 Xi knew that he couldn't ask, and he couldn't forcefully demolish it. Anyway, if he didn't take it out, it proved that the team was fine.

After the meal, tents were set up one by one, and everyone went to the river to fetch water, and returned to the tents to wipe their bodies with towels, taking 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 puffing, horses and camels love it, and they feel good after eating.

When they put on shelves again in the morning, the horses and camels cooperated very well. Obviously, they also knew that the road ahead was smooth, at least there was no lack of grass.

It belongs to the Hetao area and has always been a good place to raise livestock.

As the team moved forward, they met local herdsmen, and after giving them some tea and a few iron pots, the herdsmen became enthusiastic.

They were too far away from the Ming Dynasty's court, and they were unwilling to get close to Bei Yuan. They just wanted to survive. If they were not beaten during the war, they would continue to graze here.

So at noon, a small number of people including Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi ate pasta made of ghee.

"Is the stuff they make clean?" Zhu Xi always has something to do, and he is afraid that this kind of milk-made ghee will not be clean.

"It's not very clean. They beat it out a little bit, and then they got the butter into the basin with their hands, but we heated it."

The head of the village admitted that when other people made this thing, they didn't pay much attention to it.

"There is one in the palace, but you didn't bring it with you? How did you make it?" Zhu Xi had many questions.

"Your Highness can ask them if they still have milk to make ghee, we can help, it's quick and clean.

How about we make them a simple tool for making ghee, so that they will not be so troublesome in the future.

They cannot do without ghee, and every time they make ghee, they will think of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Qin. "

The village chief said he wanted to help, and the ghee was easy to extract, but the tools for Guanglu Temple were provided by the village, otherwise Guanglu Temple would pump back and forth like others.

"Is it easy to do?" Zhu Xi wanted to do the locals a favor.

"It's simple, just use wood, a centrifugal device, hand-cranked, and then produce the ghee while producing the rest, and the rest can be fermented to make cheese.

After dinner, I will draw a picture. There are some in the village and Guanglu Temple. We can make them and sell them to those who raise cattle and sheep in the future. "

The chief nodded and speeded up his meal.

The picture was good, the artisans took a look at it, and immediately made ten out of wood, and the other two were scattered and unassembled. In order to let the local people know what they are, they can make them if they have the leisure.

It happened that the local herders had saved some cow's milk and goat's milk to make ghee.

The tools were brought over and they were asked to pour the milk in. The two joined basins were placed, and the craftsmen began to shake them. After a short time, ghee began to come out on one side and the remaining milk on the other.

Herdsmen: "..."

They were shocked. They have always used wooden barrels, and then used a wooden plug to pump up and down. It was very tiring.

The key is to use too much force, and it is easy to splash the milk outside, so you need to control the force well.

What is this in front of you?Just shake it, and it will be separated directly, without having to take it out with your hands.

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-operated milk separators to the herdsmen, hoping that the herdsmen would help make them when they saw other herdsmen.

The herdsmen knelt down and kowtowed, expressing that they must teach others, thank His Majesty, the Prince, and the King of Qin...

……

"It's that simple? It reminds us of the tools used to shake honey, which makes sense."

When the team marched again, Zhu Xi thought that the milk separator had no technical content.

"His Royal Highness King Qin said that it is simple. Once you know the recipe, firing colored glaze is also very simple. The blast furnace for smelting iron is not difficult. Isn't the open hearth 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 subject.

The herdsmen took the things and gave two sheep back. In the eyes of the herdsmen, the hand-cranked equipment is valuable, and it solves a big problem, so it will not be so laborious in the future.

Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi returned the gift again, giving each other a few pieces of soap, dozens of pieces of soap, and twenty kitchen knives.

The other party wanted to continue to deliver sheep, and even prepared to kill cattle, but was stopped. They couldn't send them back and forth like this, it was enough.

Soap, soap and kitchen knives are all good things for herdsmen. 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.

Rub it with soap, and the water that can be used as ink will flow down, and the soap has a fragrance when bathing.

Kitchen knives are the most practical, just like iron pans. Herdsmen don’t have iron, so they need to exchange it with others. Others’ iron is also not much and is very precious.

For example, the blacksmiths who made a living by blacksmithing in Ming Dynasty had rich families, and they were richer and more respected than those who butchered pigs.

"Okay! I'll cook sizzling mutton tonight and some dried vegetables. Let's soak it now."

There is nothing wrong with the chief, let the children find dried vegetables and soak them in a bucket, otherwise it will be too greasy to eat only mutton.

In the evening, the sizzling mutton was brought up, and the rest of the meat was given to the maids and the weak in the team to make up for it.

Like the young general who has walked to Yulin and turned his head to follow back, they also need to make up.

"There's sand all over there? How did the people from Beiyuan survive?"

Zhu Xi drank the hot white wine, feeling less cold, and talked about the road ahead.

"Deserts do not just refer to deserts. Deserts are also deserts. There are deserts, Gobi deserts, and wastelands where grass does not grow well.

The danger there is that you can't find water or food there, but there are some wild beasts and insects.

Like our horses, they need to be taken care of the most after they pass by. This is where the desert is, and it’s winter again, and it’s hard to grow some grass, so they can only eat grass roots.

Ordinary goats can survive there. They dig grass roots to eat, but once their hooves are damaged, they will die.

If it snows in other grasslands in winter, no matter whether it is a goat or a sheep, the most fearful thing is to use their hooves to shave the ice. "

The head of the village explained the situation of the desert, not all deserts, but also other terrains!
