Chapter 1345 New uses of acorn products
County Magistrate Du Xin stood in front of the shelling machine to watch. The shells and cords separated, and sometimes the shells entered the side of cords.
He squatted and pinched acorn kernel, licked it with his tongue, and grinned at the corner of his mouth, bitter and squeaky.
This is the case with pure wild things. Soak the tannins for a long time by soaking them out.
People have a lot of acorns at every home, and they are afraid that there will be insufficient food and then they will be delicious.
When Du Xin did not come to be the county magistrate, more than 90% of the local people had a lot of time to eat acorn noodles every year.
I endured hard, had no time to soak, and it was difficult to peel the shell with pounding, which delayed my working time.
"If you want to quickly remove the bitterness inside, it is best to throw it into the river with bamboo and branches. In winter... the river here is not frozen, so try to be safe."
Li Yi pulled Princess Yongmu over and watched.
If you use a large pond to soak the kernels and take them out, the tannin concentration in the pond water will be high, so soak the shells.
The stupidest method is also the most cost-effective and labor-saving.
"Now it is mainly used to tannate leather, produced locally, and sold in Chang'an City.
The newspapers in Lijiazhuang can advertise free locally in small places, which is considered poverty alleviation.
As for the price, you can consider it yourself and think it's worth it.
Another purpose is to drill wells, turn and use candle glue, which is easier."
When Li Yi said the word "poverty alleviation", he suddenly thought that Luonan was once a poor county.
The transportation at that time was hundreds of times stronger than it is now, and it was still poor. I can imagine how difficult it was for the people at this time.
"Master Li, we don't know the price. You said how to do it. We will listen to yours and sell it to you."
Some people took Li Yi's words and pushed the problem to Li Yi.
"Shi Datou, are you crazy? You are in charge of Li Dong's main money. If not, let's sell it ourselves." Someone immediately refused and blamed the person who spoke.
"Not it? If Master Li gives more money, he will compensate him. If he gives less money, will we think that all the money is called Master Li??"
"Master Li Dong, please give me an approximate price and we will change it according to the price."
"Don't make things difficult for Master Li, the benefits given by Master Li are not enough?"
The people next to him spoke with their conscience, not wanting to ask Li Yi to bear the losses.
Li Yi smiled and nodded: "Okay! I can also earn it, I can still make money. The purchase price is different from the sales price. When you see the sales price is high, you will sell it yourself."
Li Yi is also not clear about the market. Others have other methods to make tannins, and the price of cannon glue is difficult to determine.
He needs to look at the cost of making cannon glue in local people, mainly the difficulty and time cost of obtaining raw materials.
Then calculate the efficiency of using tanned leather with other methods to make leather, and obtain a comparison.
In this way, you can know how much it costs to sell, and you also have leather tanning in your own farm.
The other is drilling, which depends on whether the drilling platform after adding candle glue saves labor time.
There is another type used to purify water. If the water is not clean, sprinkle it in and add some candle glue. The dirty things in the water will become flocculated with the candle glue.
In the 1990s, when tap water was polluted, the syringe would be distributed, and a bag of paper would be wrapped for residents.
"Purified water...sea water? Tannins? Far voyage!" Li Yi suddenly knew how to sell tinsel glue at a high price.
Use tannins to purify sea water and add it to the boiler, and the solar energy evaporates the water to make people drink.
"The purpose of the cannon glue..." Li Yi began to say, like making a report.
The eunuchs and palace maids kept their pens and notes despite the cold weather.
When they hear what they use, they immediately understand what they belong to.
The people stopped talking in a sympathetic way. Listen to Li Yi, no matter whether he understood or not, he would just listen.
They felt that Li Yi was very knowledgeable. Li Yi once threw out a lot of plagiarized poems, and the people in the county could recite a few more poems.
"It's just because the sea is blue and vast, there are many oak people in the future." After Li Yi said this, he sighed with emotion.
"Brother Yi, can you turn seawater into drinkable water with cannon glue?" Li Chengqi is responsible for the ocean, and he attaches great importance to this.
"Anyway, it's much better than drinking sea water directly. Drinking it directly will kill you. There is not only salt in the sea water, but other things.
Those who went out to sea later sold them tanned glue, now...
Starting today, burn the acorn shells in hot water, then extract them according to the method, coax them to dry them, and charge them at a high price."
Li Yi said, shouting to the people around him, hurry up and work.
He thought of Guangzhou Maritime Affairs, where people from his Zhuangzi became officials, including the Yulin Feiqi.
"The family who are willing to make cannon glue will first use five squids, and then check the quantity and settle the settlement."
Li Yi glanced at the person wearing marinated clothes and grass again and decided to give the money first.
He wanted to send the cannon glue to Guangzhou and sell it to Yishang, telling Yishang that this thing can turn undrinkable sea water into drinkable water at critical moments.
"Master Li Dong, please tell everyone what you want. Five liang is too much money, how much does it cost?" Du Xin stood up to help his people ask.
"One pound of processed powder, fifty yuan." Li Yi quoted.
One hundred pounds is only five pieces. He turned his head and could sell it at a price of five pieces per pound. No, fifty pieces, see if anyone bought it?
The price was higher when it was first sold, with one hundred pieces per pound, and there was no life-saving thing at sea.
"Okay, I've done it. After dinner, I went back to find acorns. I didn't have anything to shed. I just used my hands to make money. Master Li gave me money."
Shi Laoliu shouted loudly, and the other people clenched their fists and wished they could keep Li Yi in the county.
Children are happiest, and when adults are happy, they feel that the whole world is beautiful.
The sun is so bright that it is not cold all day long.
Li Yi went back to sit down for dinner, and Li Chengqi asked: "Do you tell Bi Gou?"
"If you pay taxes, you must pay taxes when you go to customs. 30% of them are not given extra money to Lao Bi." Li Yi was willing to do so and never took the initiative to evade taxes.
He told Bi Gou and Li Longji that if he wanted to collect taxes, his life would be deducted, right?
After Wu Jieyu learned about the situation, she looked annoyed: "It's not to be kept secret, otherwise she should have made it by herself. In the future, a large number of them will be spread."
Queen Wang looked at the happy people: "The people have benefited, we are helping the people. My uncle can make money by treating seawater today, and there are other things to make a lot of money tomorrow."
"Yes!" Liu Jieyu agreed. She had a good impression of her son-in-law and had many ideas. After a walk, how many good ways to benefit the people?
"No matter how much, as long as the barbarians can't learn it, when the export is blocked, we can make money.
Moreover, it has a wide range of uses and cannot be kept confidential for export. It should also help the people improve their living standards in the Tang Dynasty."
Li Yi never thought of stealing himself and then changing the money.
Oak trees were widely distributed in the Tang Dynasty and were eaten by the people, making jelly the most convenient.
Wang Wei walked over at this time, looked at Li Longji and others, and saw that the other party did not show a look of disgust, standing behind Li Yi.
"Does Li Dongzhu know that there are many acorn bugs here? Is there a way to deal with it?" Wang Wei wanted to confirm Li Yi's magic again.
"Wen Tian, what should I do if there are too many insects?" Li Yi did not answer Wang Wei's words and turned his head to ask Princess Yongmu.
