Orphan Girl On Farm Becomes Pillar of Whole Village
Chapter 161 Getting Started
Chao Lang nodded: Yes, everyone can listen to him.
Su Yunniang kept it in his heart, after this craftsman left, Su Yunniang went to look for Old Zhao.
Old Zhao's name was Zhao Cheng, he used to be a Yueqi lieutenant, and he was in charge of the light army of the Qi Family Army.
When Su Yunniang alluded to the stance of the village chief, Zhao Cheng gave a thumbs up: this is the best, as the saying goes, there are no rules without rules.
"Grandfather Zhao, you deserve the title of village chief." Su Yunniang saw Zhao Cheng waving his hand, so he hurriedly said again: if there is anything to do, I will go to Grandpa Zhao. You always lead all kinds of relationships, which is better than a girl's house hanging around all day, as you say.
Zhao Cheng could not say anything if he refused.
This Miss Su came from a female family of roughly fourteen or fifteen years old, and the orphans who came on this trip were all men, so she had to avoid suspicion. After thinking about it, the old Zhao said: I will come out again and bring some girls back.
Su Yunniang smiled and said: Yes right, if the time comes, all the female puppets will be placed with me, and Grandma Zhong and Aunt Dayun will take care of her. If not maintained order in the future, they would be able to farm and weave.
Zhao Cheng laughed out loud: Miss, you really think with great consideration.
I decided that this rule should be set. So I, Zhao Cheng will take over this task. Miss, don't worry, you can talk to me about anything.
Su Yunniang gave a warm salute: Thank you Grandpa Zhao, for your mercy, let's start by burning the bricks and making ink.
With Zhao Cheng as the village head, these people could save a lot of trouble in management.
Su Yunniang had Zhao Cheng arrange for people to start grain storage, it was a small plan, so Zhao Cheng divided people into two groups.
From the large warehouse, the old grain inside was moved, and the new grain that had been dried was then inserted.
Chao Lang took his freshly taken disciple down the valley in search of a suitable land to burn porcelain and pottery as Su Yunniang had said,
the people in the Great Xia Kingdom were not related to outsiders, so in this valley, it must be that the ingredients were available, it would only take a while to find them.
Han Fengyu was in charge of inspecting the old grain. He was surprised that the old grain was well preserved. He entered the large grain storage warehouse with curiosity,
He wanted to study the arrangement of a large grain storage warehouse. After all, grains could be stored like this, too hard to remain unchanged for years.
There is absolutely no problem making wine with these grains. Even if many grains were shipped, there was still no problem here, the tamping power of the old storage was incredible.
Calming arak to relieve sadness.In times of war, who does not worry? The poor struggle to survive, but even in the midst of the chaos of war,
But there are still rich people, who do not have to fight to survive. So, this Arak will be sold to these people. What's more, years of hunger have left people without food,
so, who has the excess food to make wine? Therefore, if wine can be made at this point, it is a good opportunity to accumulate wealth quickly.
Chao Lang led the people to build the brick kiln. Shooting bricks was much easier than firing porcelain, and it just so happened that Xianlang taught his students to learn the craft from the ground up and slowly.
Clay obtained from local materials, can be used to burn bricks, and burnt bricks used to build wine workshops.
Zhao Cheng led the carpenter and mason to build a wine workshop.
Han Fengyu taught his students how to handle grain, brew koji, and asked the blacksmith to make the necessary equipment to brew.
Su Yunniang did not need to worry about these things, he only concentrated on conquering the burning of ink.
The one who could burn ink was named Li Zheng, but not many knew about it, He joined the Prayer Squad when he was a teenager, and he had once studied and become skilled, so he could help.
His ink burning place was located at the foot of the mountain, he led people up the mountain to cut down bamboo to make bamboo sheds, after bamboo sheds were built, and covered with straw mats as well as straw paper, smoke funnel paved from bricks.
After setting up the bamboo warehouse, Li Zheng led his disciples to the mountains to choose the materials, which was an important step.
After the suitable pine wood is cut down, a hole is made at the bottom of the pine tree trunk, and the trunk is lit in the hole to roast the trunk, making a hole,
so that all the resin in the pine tree will flow out. If this step is not handled properly, even if there is only a small amount of resin left, pine cigarettes are burned, the quality will be greatly reduced.
Take care of the pine wood and cut it into blocks, then put it in the bamboo shed, the fire is lit from the front of the bamboo shed, and it will light up for a few days without a fixed time, he said, and it is necessary to pay attention to the viscosity of the smoke to master the heat.
Pine smoke spread from the front of the bamboo shed to the back, until the smoke was too faint to be seen, and the entire block of pine wood burned completely, then waited until it was cold.
After the temperature inside the bamboo warehouse dropped, Li Zheng led his students into the bamboo warehouse to scrape off the pine smoke. The quality of pine smoke behind the bamboo shed is the best, called clear smoke, and the middle is second.
pine smoke is also called mixed smoke. What comes out is ordinary ink, namely mainstream goods at affordable prices on the market. Clear smoke ink is a high-grade item, and such high-grade items are priceless in the market.
Lastly, there was no pine smoke near the entrance of the bamboo shed. It could be, but it could be used to print.
Scratched pine smoke, chosen according to the type. Filtering means are used to clear smoke, and fine, clean and adequate ink fumes are obtained by fine filtration.
Second-class mixed smoke using the way of precipitation, pine tobacco is soaked in the pond for precipitation, the material chosen for the top layer is smooth and adequate.
top class, and so on for the rest.
There are thousands of ingredients in this area. Ink making is usually a family heritage craft, and its many secrets. After Su Yunniang discovered the information and studied it with Li Zheng, he,
he decided to use egg white and fish skin glue to make it. Get local ingredients, then mix it with various herbs and medicinal ingredients to make fragrant ink and medicinal ink.
The medicinal ink was very magical, there was a rumor that the imperial examination happened to fall ill during the exam and recover after taking medicine and ink.
Su Yunniang was very interested in medicinal inks, so while mixing, he sorted through the various recipes and recorded them in a book, for future examinations and practice improvements.
Su Yunniang did not participate in the advanced training of ink ball making and ink bar making, he devoted his mind to making paper, of course if there is ink, there must be paper.
Especially in the valley where the wood is much cut down, too wasteful if the rest and twigs are used as firewood, and there is also a silkworm cocoon that can not be used anymore, he said,
which was repeated many times on bamboo mats in a way floated. Paper lumps can be obtained although rare. However, using this way, Su Yunniang taught Chen Liang more than twenty artificial papers.
Raw materials range from the rest of the unusable cocoons to bark, hemp, and patchwork, and when paper is made, the entire valley will boil.
Old Zhao found Su Yunniang.
"Miss, we have to get out to trade" said the old Zhaotou.
Su Yunniang also knew that it was okay. After thinking about it he said: grandfather Zhao, we should train some clever people. Those who were spying on the state of the army would travel in Dasheng Kingdom as businessmen to gather more news for Qixuan before returning.
Old Zhaotou praised Su Yunniang very much, but he was still shocked when he heard this, I can't believe Su Yunniang who had always been in Yugu Village and in the end only stayed in the valley, have such insight.
The old Zhao pondered for a moment: Then wait a little longer, this will take quite a while.
Su Yunniang nodded: alright, Grandpa Zhao must train suitable people. I saw the beets were about to ripen, so I would make more sugar, and the people who came out should have more business, so that no one would know the clues.
After the old Zhao returned, he called out to the old man who had been in the scout camp, he clicked his tongue a few times before saying: Madam, this is not easy.
