Chapter 107: Flap your wings

It's good to have stupid fans, at least Shi Wei is following behind and chuckling: "Brother Xiaoyou, I believe you! Although the copper basin is more beautiful than the screw!"

Su You was happy: "Forget it, let's not talk about that, how about chicken and duck?"

Shi Wei nodded happily: "It's good. Third sister-in-law is taking people to hatch the second batch. This time there are a lot of hatches, there are hundreds of chickens and ducks. Brother Xiaoyou, don't you like chickens and ducks?"

Su You didn't know what he was thinking, and his face turned a little pale: "I like it, but I can't stand the smell of ducklings. I have to wait until I invent the pig-nosed mask before I go in."

Everything went well, and Su You's life finally became idle. In addition to studying, he spent the next time drawing mechanical drawings, marking down the classic mechanical structures in his memory, and writing a book "Fasteners and Bolts".

, Manual of Dimension Codes and Markings of Screws, Studs and Nuts.

As for the standards of steel balls and springs, he didn't bother to bother with them. He had a standard writing demonstration, and the Shi family and his son would determine the rest based on their experience.

Just kidding, the Chinese New Year is just around the corner. After being busy for so long, it’s time to take a break.

The fertile fields outside the swamp have been surrounded, and the county magistrate is very satisfied. There are three circles of fertile fields, the bottom circle is thirty acres, the second circle is sixty acres, and the third circle is one hundred and twenty acres!

It's just over two hundred acres, not much, but it's all farmed. The fat and mud from the swamp are collected in flat-bottomed boats, and then transferred to the upper layer layer by layer through equidistant spiral cylinders, and then shallow water is added, waiting for the next spring to start sowing.

.

As a result, many mud ditches were opened in the swamp, which increased the depth. Su You built a gate at the water outlet, using stone slabs as gates and lowering them piece by piece to intercept part of the water source.

Next year’s plan is to raise fish in the ditch, plant aquatic economic plants on the ditch, and build a duck shed to raise geese and ducks. This will become a three-dimensional small-scale agriculture demonstration site.

Further up the barren hills, short steps will be built to grow tea trees and borneol camphor, which become an important source of income for the Su family.

Su You is now quite wealthy. The iron and porcelain shops make 30% of the profit every month, which is a profit of hundreds of guan. His own wine shop still sells goods sporadically, which is nearly 100 guan per month and more than 300 kilograms of red copperware.

, turned into more than 400 kilograms of exquisite brass and white copper inlaid copperware, as well as sealed kettles and wine bottles with threaded mouths. The first batch was released and earned more than 300 yuan, which can be called a money grab.

The copperware was a test product. After the test was successful, the eyes of both the ancestors and the grandson of the Shi family were red, and they insisted on getting a machine to make copper sheets.

With lathes and dimensional standards, precision workpieces have become possible, and cold rolling mills are actually not difficult.

Three waterwheels are used as the power source, and the power is transmitted through a large gearbox to drive a large gadolinium roller to roll.

The bottom is also a large gadolinium roller, which moves tangentially to the upper shaft through the gear, and the gap between the gadolinium rollers can be adjusted through the screw.

This thing is very useful. With a little modification, it can also be made into a plate bending machine or a roller crusher.

The red-hot copper parts are beaten on a forging machine and turned into sheets, and then rolled through different thicknesses again and again, becoming thinner and thinner, and finally become suitable copper sheets.

There are different models of upper and lower rollers. The ones with hobs can slice materials, and the ones with semicircular notches can roll square bars into thin cylinders, which are actually wire rods.

When the wire rod gradually becomes thinner and can be pulled through the round-hole steel plate by a large drawing disc with a ratchet, the cold drawing machine process will be formed accordingly.

This method can produce cold-drawn metal wire. In addition to producing copper wire for inlay, cold-drawn low-carbon iron wire can also be obtained, which can be carburized in a carburizing box and subjected to corresponding heat treatment and normalizing processes to obtain hardness and ductility.

Different steel wires.

The metal obtained by hot rolling has high strength but poor ductility, while the metal that is normalized after cold rolling has greatly improved ductility and has different uses.

With the iron wire and stamping machine, making iron nails is a smooth process again.

First, clamp the iron wire with a long iron square with a round groove, leaving only a little margin outside, and then use horizontal punching to punch out the nail head. Cut off the released section and send it to use a grinding wheel to grind out the nail tip. Two or three people

When they work together to form an assembly line, the speed is said to be very fast.

Every small technological advancement brings a wide variety of products.

Su You often gets fascinated by reading about the vast array of by-products. In fact, he just wants to make a more accurate mother's bed...

Today's iron materials are still very precious. Every time after processing, Shi Fu has to recycle the iron scraps and smelt them again.

Now that the furnace temperature and isolation metallurgy have been solved, the carbon content in the molten iron can be controlled to a precise level. A simple blowing of hot air can oxidize the carbon.

In front of the two classrooms, there is an extra playground, and a circle on the side is equipped with horizontal bars, parallel bars, stone locks, barbells, rope ladders...

I'm embarrassed to talk about this. The kids in Tutu Temple all work and study at the same time. Not to mention Zhang Zao's eldest brothers, they have begun to grow tendons. Even Su Xiaomei is stronger than him. This circle

He knew his shame and had the courage to buy all the equipment for himself.

There is also a weapons rack under the eaves, with a small whistle stick, a small red tassel spear, a small bow, a small shield, a dagger, a dagger... those are Shi Wei's business.

Shi Wei was naturally active, so she pulled Su You up every morning, and the two of them went to the playground to practice. However, Su You was too lazy and stupid, and had many things to do. They even did the five-animal trick and the crane trick, even after Shi Wei taught him for a long time.

not good.

It was like this again today. As Su You practiced, he touched the stone lock next to the sandpit on the playground, not to practice, but to sit on it and rest for a while.

Shi Wei kicked the stone lock open with one leg, Su You said "ouch" and sat down on the sand: "Weier, you dare to kick rocks, don't use your toes!"

Shi Wei put her hands on her hips: "This is kicking, not kicking! Brother Xiaoyou! You want to be lazy again!"

Su You waved his hands: "It can't be done, it can't be done. If we don't take a breath, Brother Xiaoyou will be finished..."

When Hachigong came out and saw Su You's laziness, he waved to Shi Wei: "Weier, come here."

Shi Wei walked over: "Good morning Hachigong!"

Hachigong turned around and took out the bright yellow thorn stick from the front of the ancestral hall: "Hahaha, this boy is too lazy, I'll give this to you. If he dares to disobey, you will enforce the law on Hachigong's behalf!"

Su You jumped up and ran: "Hachigong, you can't do it! You are partial!"

Hachigong scolded: "You are the only lazy person in Mankelong! Wei'er practices martial arts every day, no matter the weather, I see you are fishing for fish even if you flip through a book, if this continues, then it's okay!"

Su You turned around from far away on the opposite side of the playground: "I make good use of my spare time! My sisters-in-law praise me for my solid homework! Forget it, I won't tell you, I went to the third sister-in-law and the fifth sister-in-law to teach them how to make bean sprouts and pickled mustard.

!”

In later generations, bean sprouts, pickled mustard, and kohlrabi were all famous side dishes and condiments in southern Sichuan.

They are all made of mustard greens, but the mustard greens used to make bean sprouts are called Erpingzhuang, the mustard greens used to make mustards are called goose gongbao, and the ones used to make kohlrabi are, well, just called kohlrabi.

In the past, the method in Kelongli was to dry the mustard greens until they were dry and then eat them slowly. Now that Su You is in control, he first guides the villagers to do this.

Depending on the age and tenderness of the vegetables, the most tender way is pickled mustard, followed by bean sprouts, and finally kohlrabi.

Now is a good season for making these things. Cut the tender stems of Erpingzhu into strips as wide as chopsticks, dry them in the sun until the harvest is 13 jins per 100 jins, put them in a bucket, sprinkle salt on them in layers, step on them tightly and marinate;

Boil the brown sugar liquid until it becomes strands, which is called leaking sugar. Mix the leaking sugar and the pickled vegetable strips while shaking, and add spice powder, then put it into a jar and tie it tightly with salted vegetable leaves and build a mouth with grass petals.

Store tightly closed.

Pickled mustard must be made from goose buns with less hanging fiber and crisp and tender meat. Peel off the old skin at the base and tear off the hard tendons. Cut the cabbage head into two or three pieces to make the size of the pieces basically uniform. Then tie them into skewers and put them on the rack to dry.

It is called "wind dehydration".

After dehydration, salt it twice. For the first time, add salt to the air-dried vegetable pieces, mix well, rub them, put them into the pool and press them tightly. When a large amount of vegetable juice seeps out, wash the vegetable pieces with the vegetable juice and drain them.

.Add more salt and perform salting for the second time.

Then the vegetable pieces were put into sacks, pressed with stone slabs, tied with wooden poles, and the water was squeezed out. This is where the name mustard comes from.

With the screw, Su You went directly to the press. The third sister-in-law and the fifth sister-in-law pushed the long pole in a circle, and the thread slowly sent the iron piece downwards, creating pressure against the wooden board. The vegetable juice in the linen bag under the wooden board was quickly released.

It seeped out from around it.

The fifth sister-in-law shouted while pushing: "This thing is so useful! What else do men need to do if you have it?!"

The third sister-in-law snickered and said, "You can keep it for your own use, man!"

After squeezing the vegetable pieces, add salt, pepper and spice powder, mix well and put it into the jar, compact it layer by layer, fill it up, sprinkle a layer of salt and spice mixture on the vegetable surface at the mouth of the jar, and seal the mouth of the jar tightly.

, store in a dry and shaded place.

Kohlrabi is generally processed through the processes of material selection, initial drying, seasoning, double drying, adding ingredients, sealing and pickling. The processed kohlrabi is only about 40% of its original weight. The longer it is stored, the more fragrant it tastes.

The three kinds of pickles are made in the same way, but they are all durable and have unique and different flavors.

They can all be eaten raw. Among them, bean sprouts can also be cooked and used as stuffings; mustard can be used to make soups and stir-fries; kohlrabi can be made into stir-fries, salads, and braised pork. They are all very famous dishes.

There is actually a lot of deep meaning behind the large-scale preparation of these dishes, which is the same as copperware.

The development of government affairs in the imperial court for hundreds of years has actually created certain obstacles to commercial circulation. People of insight have realized this, but they are suffering from the lack of better ways to change, or they are conservative and do not want to be flexible, or because of the great interests, resistance

Heavy.

Su You wants to use soy sauce, pickles, imported copperware, and fine wine to take advantage of the current special zone in the Four Roads. He will try it out first to see if there is a better way to impact the salt administration, copper administration, and wine administration, at least on a small scale first.

Improve the economic environment within the country.

Little by little, the ants gnawed away at the elephant, and finally the abundant supply of commodities, huge demand for money, and high tax returns impacted the system and forced fiscal and tax reforms.

This is the fundamental reason why he is so eager to do so many things!

Of course, if a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, the wind will start from the bottom of Qingping, so he must try everything cautiously.

Now he is like a little fly, hiding in the small pond of Meishan City, hiding under the protection of several big families, while studying poetry and books, it does not prevent him from pondering this seemingly comprehensive network.
