Traveling through the Prosperous Pastoral of Peasant Girls

Chapter 74

The vineyard has not yet been guarded by special staff, so Jin Yang chose a place to build a house on the land that is only near the Xiaojin River. If the grapes are ripe and afraid of being stolen, they must send someone to hunt them. Considering the possibility of hiring a family, they decided to Let Boss Gong lead people to build a tile-roofed house that is not small.As for the north side of the vineyard, because it is next to the back door, there is no need to build another house.

If you are too busy, you can hire some family members who know the basics to help, and do a good job of patrolling in normal times. If you find unisexual fruit and deformed fruit, the fruit bitten by insects should be cut off in time, so that the mature fruit ears can be kept at seven or eight to one. In this case, the output in the first year will not be too much, and in the peak production period two years later, the yield per mu will reach more than [-] catties.

They saw that the weather was getting warmer again, so Liu Tao designed a mosquito-proof hat. The material cost of this kind of mosquito-proof hat is only four copper coins, and the planned wholesale price is fifteen copper coins. The profit is also considerable.The anti-mosquito hats come in three colors: red, green, and white. Liu Tao plans to stock up on them first, and put them on the market at the end of June when the number of mosquitoes and midges on the grasslands is the most.

They arranged in advance to switch to leather sandals and mosquito-proof hats, and then took the time to go to Liangshan Port. This time, Liu Guangjun allocated Zhang Sheng to Lao Huang's command, in case there was any change in Jinsha.He also asked the old Zhao and his wife to keep an eye on Hualou secretly, and report to Liu Guangjun and Lao Huang immediately if there is any special situation.

They went to Liangshan Port first, and according to Lu Run whispered to him: "Cousin, Captain Venus brought over two duo music, and Xiao Shunzi has already taken away and installed one in the saltworks. There are quite a few accessories for Eruole, and they have paid back all the money they owed."

After changing the subject, he continued: "He asked me to thank you for him. They didn't encounter pirates when they went back that time, but they did encounter them when they came the second time. It happened to be the pirate ship that killed Barman. He Using the method you gave him, he set the pirate ship on fire, and the crew killed all the pirates who jumped into the sea, this time they have avenged their revenge..."

It turned out that Captain Venus was traveling with two boats. When he went back that time, he walked a long way carefully and did not encounter a pirate ship. When he came back, he thought of the method Jin Yang gave, so he put the shochu and torches on the boat again. on board.

Halfway this time, he was suddenly chased by a pirate clipper. When the captain saw the flag hanging on the pirate ship, he remembered that his good friends Baman and Tang were killed by them. The crew don't have to run away after dropping the sails, and teach them the next countermeasures.Stand still and wait for them to approach by themselves against the wind, and wait for your order to shoot together in a while.

The pirate ship chased after them, and they also knew the captain's cargo ship. The pirate leader laughed "haha" and praised the captain for "knowing current affairs".

When they threw the rope and were about to set up a springboard to pick up the goods, the captain first threw a jar of old wine on the pirate's ship building, and then the crew threw four jars of old wine with high alcohol content over, and the pirate ship came. a violent bath.

The pirates sniffed the strong smell of wine and before they could figure out what they were doing, they threw two burning torches.At this moment, the fire broke out immediately, and the captain's ship drove the pirate ship against the wind. The pirates were forced by the fire at the bow and ran behind the ship one after another. As the fire spread, they jumped into the sea one after another.The captain ordered the crew to untie the pirate ship. In order to worry that spreading the news would arouse the hatred of other pirates, he found the pirates who had jumped into the sea and killed them one by one in the sea.

"Haha, that's right. Blindly being afraid can only make pirates treat them like persimmons, not only losing money but also embarrassing themselves."

"Yes, cousin, everyone in their boat will be grateful to you."

Liu Tao said: "Brother Jinyang, you said you were researching new weapons for Captain Jin Xing, but you forgot about it. Fortunately, he is not here this time. If he is, you will be embarrassed."

"Yeah, Taoer, when we get home, you have to think about it for me, so don't make any further mistakes." Then he turned to Lu Run and said, "Cousin, when you see the captain, tell him that it's me. Let him 'see the pirate ship, or leave the pirate ship in the wind, so that he can light the fire with the wind' and wait for me to bring him a new weapon next time..."

"Well, cousin, I will definitely bring what you said."

"Also, this matter must be kept secret, and you must not tell anyone."

"Don't worry, cousin, Captain Venus has already told me."

They were driven by Erhu to see the Zhongxin Salt Farm first. Behind the beach was a thriving salt cooking site. Wang Hua heard that a foreign carriage was coming, so he hurriedly brought people out to meet him.

Zhongxin Salt Factory has sold the second batch of finished salt. Liutao has a little bit of salt on the tip of the tongue, and it feels bitter and salty. This is the original taste of the sea, and it is incomparable with the natural crystallization of sun-dried salt. .However, Liu Tao is now used to this kind of salt, because you have to get used to it if you are not used to it, and you can't find natural crystallized salt at all.Fortunately, they have something to look forward to, and the salt from their own saltworks is almost finished.

Jin Yang told them to keep working, and asked Wang Hua to improve their food at night. The seafood here is abundant and cheap, but the meat seems expensive in comparison.

They drove Wang Hua, picked up Lu Run from the warehouse, bought half a slice of pork and a few hemp bags of seafood at the port, and went to their own saltworks to comfort them.

Seeing that there were wild pigeons in the live poultry shop, Jin Yang's brain flashed, and he told Lu Run to buy more young pigeons in the future, and they could be used as carrier pigeons when they were matured.If there are carrier pigeons in Jinfu’s house and Liangshan Port, if there is an emergency, the message can be sent by carrier pigeons within an hour.

They got in the car and chatted about the advantages of carrier pigeons, and walked all the way to the valley where Yantian was located. From a long distance, they saw the water in the salt field, and there were many people working inside.When they got closer, Xiao Shunzi and Ma Erlan had been notified to come out to meet them. Liu Tao saw that Ma Erlan was a little tanned, so she couldn't stop teasing her.

Jin Yang heard Xiao Shunzi say: "Because the evaporation pool was built more than ten days ago, it was filled with seawater at that time, and the crystallization pool was built five days ago, so the concentrated brine from the evaporation pool was put into the crystallization pool. , now there is a little crystallization, the rice that Lan'er (Ma Erlan) used yesterday was made of crystallized salt, it doesn't taste bitter at all!"

"Hahahaha, this effect is what I want. If it still tastes bitter, who would like our salt? How can it be sold at a high price?"

Lu Run and Wang Hua looked at them suspiciously. When they went to visit the salt pond, Wang Hua saw the naturally crystallized salt grains. Out of envy and curiosity, he put a handful in his pocket.Lu Run saw it, and packed a lot of it, took it home and tasted it, to see if it was as good as they said.

I saw two hired workers operating the two-person music, and the two-person music followed the movements of the two people, and the sea water was pumped up continuously, and it flowed into the evaporation pool continuously. The two people did not understand the vacuum siphon In principle, seeing such a wonderful device, I was amazed again.

Looking at the patchwork of salt fields, the evaporation pool and the crystallization pool are connected by hidden pipes. Just pull out the cork, and the brine from the evaporation pool can be introduced into the crystallization pool.Compared with the primitive and backward salt cooking process, I don't know how many times stronger it is. Compared with the two, this time they have opened their eyes.
