Guo Dajing sat in the chair, enjoying the coolness, closed his eyes and fell into a slumber.
He is not idle, he is also working in the space.
He removed the glass from all doors and windows in the warehouse and room. The insulating glass and adhesive strips in the middle were all removed, and the pieces of flat glass were placed neatly.
The glass was of high quality, and there were many large pieces. Guo Dajing was not prepared to waste it. The mercury-tin amalgam method was simple, but the resulting mirror could not react as well as a silver mirror.
Nitric acid can be produced by carbonizing saltpeter, and silver nitrate can be obtained; urea is dissolved in water after adding alkali, and it is ammonia; as for glucose, it can be crystallized from honey.
The theory should be correct, but the preparations have not been completed. The main problem is that some glassware, the kind used in laboratories, is missing. Guo Dajing is not in a hurry. Anyway, there are a few high-quality silver-plated mirrors that can be sold for a lot of money.
When the transparent glass from the workshop comes out, the simplest amalgam method will be used. The profit will be less, but the shipment volume is large, and it can make a lot of money.
After the autumn harvest, I will go to Shandong again. The landowners, officials and gentry will buy a large amount of grain, and they will not let go of gold and silver treasures. Next year's shortage will not be a problem, so it will not be a problem.
Calculated in this way, all the money obtained in North Korea can be used to buy guns and cannons, and the three thousand soldiers of Guanglu Island can be pushed into the era of hot weapons in one fell swoop.
In addition to mirrors, you can also get some other novelty things. For example...
"Report, sir." The voice of the sentry interrupted Guo Dajing, causing his consciousness to return to reality.
Seeing Guo Dajing open his eyes, the sentry bowed and said, "Miss Fujino is outside and wants to see you."
Guo Dajing pondered for a moment and said, "Let her come in!"
This place has been given a confidentiality level by Guo Dajing. No one is allowed to enter without his permission.
But this is just a precautionary measure for Guo Dajing. There is no need to be careful with Hide Fujino. Is he still afraid that she will steal technology and sell mirrors?
It was not long before Fujino Hide walked in, gave a hasty salute, sat down next to Guo Dajing, and said with an unhappy expression: "I guess you are here, mysterious, and I don't know what you are doing?"
Guo Dajing smiled and said: "If you do something to make money, you can't sit back and rest in vain!"
Fujino Hide handed the document in his hand to Guo Dajing and said: "Here, here are the results of the work. Let me report to you."
Guo Dajing reached out to take it and looked through it casually. It was the roster of the women's medical team and the women's militia.
This is the advantage of the military household system. The people above give orders and the people carry them out. Although they are like slaves, this also avoids a lot of bad things.
Even for slaves, Guo Dajing, the slave owner, was relatively kind, neither beating nor scolding, and did his best to keep the slaves fed and clothed.
"Start the training as soon as possible!" Guo Dajing put down the document and said: "If you train every five or six days, if the food is enough, you will be responsible for it."
Fujino Hide rolled his eyes and said nothing, accepting the order.
Training every five or six days will basically not delay your own work, and you can also eat a few good meals. The militiamen are also enthusiastic when training.
Don't think that female militiamen are just decorations. Once trained, they can fight. Not to mention going into battle to kill the enemy, laying mines, laying traps, standing guard, etc., they are all competent.
Not to mention the male militiamen, they have the usual training base. After a few months, if you want to recruit more soldiers, you can just pull them over and add them to the team.
"Everyone must be able to use a musket." Guo Dajing suddenly raised his eyes and added: "It is the same as the army's requirements."
Although the army is divided into cavalry, infantry, and if subdivided, there are spearmen, sword and shield bearers, etc., but Guo Dajing has given a fatal order that all must have musketry training.
It doesn't matter whether you can become a musketeer or not. The key is that no matter what type of soldier you are, if you get a musket, you must be able to use it.
The officers were a little confused about this order, but Guo Dajing's firm attitude when issuing the order forced them to comply.
In order to increase the enthusiasm of the soldiers to practice muskets, Guo Dajing also specifically announced that a competition will be held in two months, and those who can skillfully use muskets will be rewarded.
The muskets are placed on the training ground of the military camp. The soldiers can not only practice them during training time, but also take time to play with them in their free time.
Anyway, Guo Dajing felt that the effect was good, and some even quarreled over the muskets, which made him deeply gratified.
"There are rewards like the army?" Fujino Hide raised his eyebrows and looked at Guo Dajing with a half-smile.
Guo Dajing did the math, nodded helplessly, and said: "If the standard is lowered a little, the reward will be halved." After a pause, he added: "Regular assessment is also necessary, don't get neglected if you get a reward."
"No problem." Fujino Hide stretched out his hand and said, "As for me, I have done so much, what reward can I get?"
Sister, you are well fed and well fed, what more rewards do you need?
Guo Dajing chuckled and said, "I still want a reward, but that's fine. In this case, I'll treat you to a meal."
Fujino Ying rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Don't try to deal with me. When my father left, you promised well. But how did you take care of me? Don't you feel guilty?"
Guilty? No! Don’t you usually care about greetings and asking for warmth?
Guo Dajing sighed secretly and said: "I know that you miss Mr. Fujino and are in a bad mood. I may be a little careless in taking care of you. As a man, I can understand it. If you feel that something is not thoughtful, just say it and don't keep it in your heart.
.”
Fujino Hide lowered his eyes, and the circles under his eyes were a little red, as if he was about to cry because of his grievance.
Guo Dajing was a little at a loss and didn't know how to comfort him. He stretched out his hand in the air and then took it back again, with a look of helplessness on his face.
"What are you treating me to?" Fujino Hide said suddenly, which made Guo Dajing confused. The twist was so big that he almost cried. Why did he talk about eating again?
Guo Dajing looked at Fujinohide staring at his eyes, scratching his head and ears, then his eyes lit up and said: "Come to my house tonight and treat you to white rice."
The smell of rice flowers made Guo Dajing never want to eat it. When he mentioned it, he became greedy and swallowed subconsciously.
"White rice?!" Fujino Hide snorted, stood up angrily, rolled his eyes and said, "I knew you were dealing with it blindly."
Guo Dajing hurriedly said seriously: "It's not ordinary rice, it's a foreign species from overseas, the old and fragrant kind that even the emperor has never tasted. Of course, there are also vegetables and soups, which are also of the old and fragrant kind."
Fujino Hide also knew that Guo Dajing generally did not lie. Seeing that he spoke seriously, although he was a little doubtful, his anger was relieved a lot.
"Old fragrant, old fragrant, you can't say it any other way." Fujino Hide pursed his lips and smiled, walked two steps, stood behind Guo Dajing, stretched out his hand to squeeze his shoulder, "Smell it, am I also old fragrant?"
It’s old and fragrant.”
Guo Dajing hasn't had this kind of enjoyment for a long time. Although it's a bit ambiguous, the girl doesn't care. You're a grown man who is so pretentious.
Closing his eyes slightly, Guo Dajing sniffed in the refreshing fragrance of jasmine. It should be the blooming flowers transplanted by Fujino Hide in his yard.
"What a jasmine flower, what a jasmine flower. Even if the garden is full of flowers and plants, it can't be more fragrant than this one..."
Fujino Hide stopped his hand, put his ear close, and listened carefully. He didn't know what song Guo Dajing was humming.
Guo Dajing closed his eyes, humming a song, nodding his head gently, looking quite intoxicated under the cool shade of the tree.
Fujino Hide looked at this man at a very close distance. He didn't expect that this guy who kills people without batting an eye could actually have such a leisurely and contented mood.
Fujino Hide has been in a bad mood these days. To be precise, it started after attending Guo Dajing's wedding and seeing Sister Li Xiu dressed in red wedding dress and Guo Dajing getting married.
When the newlyweds come out to toast, the happiness and joy on their faces are genuine and genuine.
General Guo felt very happy, and Sister Li Xiu was also shy and satisfied. Originally, he didn't feel much, but Fujino Hide suddenly felt lonely in his heart, and even became jealous of Sister Li Xiu.
It turned out that she really cared about General Guo, Fujino Hide finally figured it out. She was depressed because Guo Dajing got married and had a wife, and she felt that she had lost him.
Since then, Fujino Hide has always been in conflict. He wanted to see Guo Dajing and stay with him for a while, but he was afraid of seeing him. Seeing his happiness after getting married, he felt panicked.
This bad man sings little songs to tease others? If you listen to the words he hums, you can pick them if you want, and you are afraid of being laughed at by others.
Fujinoying smelled the smell of Guo Dajing. It was familiar, but it was a little different from before. But no matter what, she liked it.
Open your arms, hug this man, and don’t let go...
The sound of footsteps suddenly sounded, interrupting Fujino Hide's thoughts and actions. She quickly stood up straight and put her hands behind her back.
It was Lu Shiying and a craftsman who carried the iron trough out and asked Guo Dajing to inspect the glass that had not completely cooled down naturally.
Guo Dajing took a closer look and found that it was much improved than before. Although it was still slightly green, there were very few impurities in the glass.
After giving some instructions, Guo Dajing stood up and left. He had lunch at the military camp, but Guo Dajing didn't want to run back and forth and be laughed at by the soldiers.
Fujino Hide seemed to have calmed down and followed Guo Dajing back to the military camp and worked in her room. She also appeared in the cafeteria at noon and quickly took out some regulations for Guo Dajing to review.
After Guo Dajing read it, he made some slight modifications and handed it over to Fujino Hide, asking her to implement it accordingly.
After Fujino Hide left, Guo Dajing took the opportunity to sneak out and went to the training ground of the Tu Camp. He watched the tunnels they dug and had some discussions with Geng Mingzhan, the sentry officer of the Tu Camp, and other soldiers before returning home.
"Fujino Hide is here for dinner, I'll take care of it." Guo Dajing entered the backyard, said a simple explanation, and went straight into the kitchen.
Sister Li Xiu hurriedly followed, only to find that Guo Dajing had locked the door, and he didn't know what he was doing inside.
"Husband, please open the door, and I will help you." Sister Li Xiu knocked on the door, feeling that this was very inappropriate.
My man is a general, so there is no reason for him to go to the kitchen. If others find out, he will think that he is not virtuous enough!
In the Ming Dynasty, the wives of ordinary scholars called their husbands husband; the wives of wealthy families called their husbands officials; the wives of officials and wealthy families called their husbands; and the wives of ordinary families called their husbands husband.
Guo Dajing prides himself on being a military commander and likes to be called husband. The official reminds him of a certain couple of adulterers, and he looks down on Sister Li Xiu.
"Don't worry, I'll prepare something, you can come in and cook." Guo Dajing responded, taking out the rice and putting it into a basin. He estimated that five or six kilograms of rice would be enough to eat.
Then, Guo Dajing took out two boxes of canned bear meat, opened them, scooped out the bear meat, poured it into a basin, and put the cans away. He also took out a large piece of mutton with skin and fur. When he thought it was enough, he opened the door and let Sister Li Xiu in.
Sister Li Xiu came into the house and took a look, and asked in surprise: "My husband has brought back so many things, but I didn't even notice it."
No matter how many things there are, you won't be able to find them.
Guo Dajing laughed and said: "For these rice-stuffed rice, the one in this pot is cooked meat. Add water to boil, then add some green vegetables to make a soup; this piece of mutton, cut it into pieces, add seasonings to make braised mutton."
One soup, one dish, and one meal seemed a bit shabby to invite people to eat. But at that time, white rice and a big pot of meat were delicacies that not many people could eat.
"Where's Sister-in-law Sun?" Guo Dajing asked, "Let her cook it and let's eat together tonight."
"Sister-in-law Sun had something to do at home, so she told me and asked for a half-day leave." Sister Li Xiu said with a smile, "I asked for leave, making it so formal."
Guo Dajing vaguely heard that Sun Liuyan was going to build a duck house at home, and he probably went home to do some work. He nodded and said, "Then I'll do it, and you light the fire. No one will see it anyway, so I'm not afraid of anyone saying it."
Sister Li Xiu pursed her lips and smiled, but she began to wash rice and wash vegetables skillfully with one hand. She had never thought of herself as an official's wife. Although she was disabled and had some inconveniences, she was very strong and refused to lag behind others.
Guo Dajing didn't say much, for fear of touching his wife's pain, so he started to peel the mutton, cut it into pieces, washed it, threw it into the pot, and lit the stove fire.
In fact, Guo Dajing's cooking skills are just that, home-cooked. But no matter how you cook the meat, as long as it's not mushy or burnt, it will be delicious.
In later generations, he has eaten too many delicacies, and it is much better to copy the gourd and draw the dipper than to the common people now who have never seen it.
As for braised rice, Sister Li Xiu is also good at it, using the method of steaming over water. This way the bottom of the pot will not be burned, and although the rice crust can be eaten, it is still a bit wasteful.
"This rice looks like the best rice." Sister Li Xiu said curiously: "Where did your husband buy it from?"
Guo Dajing chuckled and said: "It was given by someone else. He also said that it is a foreign species that even the emperor cannot eat!"
"Such a precious thing?" Sister Li Xiu opened her eyes wide in surprise and looked at the pot that had just been covered, "Has everything been cooked?"
Guo Dajing patted Axiu on the shoulder in a funny way and said: "No matter how expensive it is, it is only for people to eat. Isn't it satisfying to eat it all at once?"
Sister Li Xiu grinned, looking at her man's nonchalant look, she could only show a helpless expression.
In terms of nutrition, multi-grain rice may not necessarily be lower than rice. But people are so strange. They pursue taste and would rather get athlete's foot from rice than eat whole grains.
