Villager of Daming

Chapter 844 To make money, choose the poisonous snake.
  Zhu Yuanzhang discovered a "good thing". Someone was riding a bicycle. It was a set up flywheel with a chain, without a wheel.

There is a belt next to the flywheel, and there is a grinder for grinding sesame oil on this side of the belt. As people pedal there, the grinder rotates rapidly, and the mixture of sesame oil grinder and sesame paste flows out.

After stirring, the sesame paste sinks and the sesame oil floats on the top, so you can scoop up the sesame oil and sell it.

Compared with Xiaqiu Village, this technology is not a big deal. The key is that the person selling sesame oil is not Xiaqiu Village. How could he come here by mistake?

"Where did you learn this from?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked by the way, standing there watching.

The other party stopped: "My family used to be craftsmen and could make waterwheels. That day we saw a broken steam engine boat by the river. Someone was repairing it. After looking at it for a few times, I felt enlightened.

Later, I saw popcorn sticks sold in Xiaqiu Village. The popcorn sticks were made of leather. We got pig skins, bought iron, and cast the toothed wheels and chains ourselves. The chains are threaded, we understand.

The trouble now is that the chain keeps breaking. The steel is not good and is not as strong as the one made in Xiaqiu Village. Fortunately, others like to watch the fun and buy sesame oil. "

The seller of small sesame oil said that he was wiping his sweat and said that he used this as a gimmick to attract people. The investment cost is high and the profit is high.

"Not bad, not bad, boss! Uh..." Zhu Yuanzhang observed carefully and wanted to analyze the reason.

"It's not quenched, right? It needs to be quenched with oil." A young man knelt down to take a look and pointed out the problem.

"Ah! Use oil to quench?" The sesame oil seller's eyes widened. Did he learn the secret so easily?
  "The flywheel also needs to be quenched, and the pulley is also concave in the middle. It's good. If you make a bicycle strip and a rim, you can ride it." Another boy followed after looking at it and said.

"I don't know anything else. What kind of oil is there for quenching?"

The man selling sesame oil didn't think about building bicycles, so he just thought about attracting more people to sell sesame oil.

"The sesame oil you sell will be fine. It is recorded in the Song Dynasty's "Gezhi Rough Talk" written by people from the previous dynasty: the sesame oil will not make the knife brittle if it is quenched." The little girl took over.

"Isn't the previous dynasty the Yuan Dynasty? Why is it a book from the Song Dynasty?" The sesame oil seller was confused.

"It's fake! It was written by the Yuan Dynasty. It has to be included in a book written by the Song Dynasty. It's like I wrote something and then added it to the "Qi Min Ya Shu" written by the Northern Wei Dynasty, the first dynasty in the Northern and Southern Dynasties." Another woman The child speaks out.

"We know that! It's just that he uses other people's books. Wouldn't it make him look better if he wrote it himself?"

"Who would believe what he wrote? For example, in my village, if he told me about a technical book called Tiangong Kaiwu, which was full of good technologies, would anyone believe it?"

"Believe it, let's believe it. Later, we will use our sesame oil to quench the chain, and then sell more sesame oil. Can you let us take a look at the book? We know some words!"

"No!" Zhu Yuanzhang reacted. Are you kidding? Xiaqiu Village has published a technical book for you to read? Do you believe that we will punish the nine tribes?

"Yes, no, Xiaqiu Village's technology makes a lot of money, can we produce more sesame oil?" The sesame oil seller said he understood and wanted to learn more.

Everyone shook their heads, and the little girl said: "There is no other way. The fried sesame seeds are not bad, and they are not burnt at all. You can produce these sesame oil and sesame paste. Unless you are cheating, are you cheating?"

"No, we're afraid of being beaten to death. We sell dry sesame paste without any water in it." The man shook his head vigorously.

Li Chang praised with an appreciative look on his face: "Okay, it's good not to cheat. In fact, what you made just provides a motivation, and shaking it by hand is also motivation. You can think about what else requires effort. Take this instead.”

"Okay! Thank you, Mr. Zhu." The sesame oil seller nodded.

Everyone left and refused to buy his sesame oil and sesame paste, which were available in the village.

On the other hand, other people came over to buy, and they bought everyone's sesame oil, which seemed strange.

What's more, he is the only one selling here. When others see his attitude, they turn around and leave. They can't compete unless they lower their prices. Zhu Yuanzhang took people all the way to see the dishes. They were all fresh and clean. People from outside were also willing to come here to buy. It was worry-free. They didn’t have to worry about something bad being caught in the middle. They would be very angry when they found out when they got home.

There is a mess of everything in the market, and there are also people selling loaches. This is the right time of year, and eels have to wait for two months.

Animals, birds, snakes and other things caught from the mountains are not rejected by Xiaqiu Village. As long as they are brought here, they will be collected in the end.

The woodcutter who collects firewood on the mountain here will not deliver it to Jubiqi's warehouse, which is far away.

When you sell them to Xiaqiu Village, you can also sharpen hatchets and axes. There are grindstones that can be turned by stepping on them. It doesn't cost any money, so you can use them as you like.

"The venomous snakes look scary! What did we collect the venomous snakes for?"

Zhu Yuanzhang saw the venomous snake seller. The seller brought the venomous snakes in a bag and poured them into the prepared iron cage, waiting for people from Xiaqiu Village to come and take a look.

"For medicinal purposes, some are soaked in wine, some are dried, some are eaten as meat, and some are kept when not in use temporarily. Snake sloughs are also medicine.

For the village and the palace, the most important thing is to use snake venom to make antivenom, so that they are not afraid of being bitten.

At present, we can handle most of the venomous snakes around and classify them into neurotoxins, blood toxins, and mixed toxins.

The five steps in this cage are actually blood toxins. After being bitten, they will swell, fester, and bleed.

The one in the cage next to it is a bungara snake. We call it a bungara snake. It is a nervous snake. After being bitten, it looks like it is drunk. In the end, it cannot breathe and dies.

It was quite comprehensive today, including cobras, cobras, medicinal materials, and venomous snakes with mixed venom. This snake is good and needs to be kept and bred to be provided to Huimin Pharmacy. "

There were venomous snakes growing inside and he pointed at the introduction, his fingers were very close. He was not afraid of being bitten at all. There was serum in the village.

Generally, venomous snakes are used to treat rheumatism, neuralgia, and skin diseases.

The village used it to make antivenom, and even extracted very regular immunoglobulin, which is amazing.

At the most critical moment, other methods are too late, so immunoglobulin can be used directly, such as tetanus.

However, if you get rabies after being bitten by a dog, prepare for the funeral! It must be injected in advance.

"A harsh government is stronger than a tiger! Can they be bitten by a poisonous snake? Will they make a lot of money?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the poisonous snake and said a sentence from the Tang Dynasty's "Snake Catcher".

"That's a lot! We, a family of six, bring snake medicine to catch snakes. The venomous snakes delivered today can be sold for six guan, one for each person. We go out every five days.

In addition to the non-venomous snakes, you can get an extra hundred or so coins. As long as you return to Xiaqiu Village alive, you won't be afraid.

The second child was bitten once before and fell down in five steps. We quickly brought it back. Xiaqiu Village helped him insert the needle. After a month of training, he was able to catch snakes again.

First, we need to see where the bite is, and more importantly, what kind of snake bite it is. Then we tie it tightly with a belt, apply snake poison on it, give it a mouthful of snake poison, and carry it back. We will bring a stretcher. "

A person who was about the same age as Zhu Yuanzhang who sold poisonous snakes said that they didn't have to worry about selling, they could just wait. Others bought less and usually soaked them in wine.

Go to Xiaqiu Village and collect them all directly. Depending on the species and size of the venomous snakes, others can earn one per month, but each of them can earn one per month, six times a month.
