Royal Gold Magistrate

The carriage entered the city slowly, Fang Zhengyi did not dare to get out of the carriage in order to prevent being recognized.

After all, there are two beautiful girls with him.

He was already guilty, so if there were any rumors in the county, let Xiaotao and the others know.

Then he is still alive?

The carriage stopped and went, and it was convenient to stop for a while at every place of interest.

The three of them went down to look around.

Their performance is not the same.

Lai Gou'er buys whatever he finds fresh, and it looks like he's going to send it back to Hsinchu.

Chu Qinghan is very serious about all kinds of novelty products and specially decorated shops.

As for Chu Youyi, after entering the city, she was in a good mood, and after sweeping away her gloomy mood, she began to grope around.

Fangzheng was not in a hurry, and sat in the car thinking silently.

It wasn't until the sun had begun to fall that the three of them were still unfinished.

Then continue driving.

The biggest purpose of this trip is not to take Lai Gouer and others to play, but for another reason.

When the fleet goes to sea, he can't help with military drills, but he still has a little bit of strength in terms of supplies.

Since it was the first ocean exploration, it was natural that the preparations should be as comprehensive as possible.

And food is the top priority at sea!

For this reason, Fangzheng had notified people one month ago to prepare for the development of military rations for sea use.

Letters have been exchanged for this month, and the development has been completed and has entered the stage of mass production.

This time it is specifically to take a look at how the production of military rations is.

The carriage drove slowly, and stopped slowly until it was near the carpentry shop.

There are no redundant buildings around the carpentry shop. Not far away is the river of Taoyuan. There are many waterwheels beside the river, and some strange things are equipped with it.

A lot of carriages were parked next to the waterwheel, and many people were bending over and busy.

Lai Gou'er asked curiously, "Brother, what are we here to see, there is nothing here."

Fangzheng stretched out his hand and pointed: "Did you see those waterwheels in the distance? The good things are there. Let's get off the car and take a look."

The four of them got out of the car and walked towards the waterwheel, only seeing the strange device when they were approaching.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

There was a loud bang, and I saw a set of giant hammers connected to the waterwheel, driven by the waterwheel, hitting the ground repeatedly!

A heavy iron grooved tray was placed at the place where the hammer head fell, and workers on the side kept filling a large amount of powder into the iron tank while the hammer head was raised.

The powder was continuously filled in, and it was continuously tamped and gradually turned into a hard piece.

After the tamping is complete, the worker quickly pulls out the iron trough and cuts out the solid blocks in it.

Then carefully wrap it in oiled paper and put it on the carriage to wait for transshipment.

Someone saw Fangzheng stop the movement of his hands as soon as he arrived, and greeted him with joy.

Fangzheng waved his hand and said, "How is the production progress?"

"Everything is going well, sir, it should take less than half a month to meet your needs."

Fangzheng said, "Well, it's not bad. We have to expedite the production. If there are too many, we can sell them on the market. Let everyone in the county try it."

The worker smiled brightly: "Thank you, master. Many of us like to eat it. I'll let them speed up production."

It seems to be a dim sum that you have never seen before?

Chu Youyi vaguely heard the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but licked her lower lip.

"Master Fang, what exactly is this?"

Three pairs of curious eyes looked at Fang Zhengyi together.

Fangzheng reached out and took an oiled paper bag from the carriage beside him.

When you take it apart, there are pieces of snacks the size of playing cards neatly stacked inside.

He picked up a piece first, then handed the oiled paper bag to Lai Gou'er and said, "This is called a compressed biscuit, the latest food developed in our county."

"Eat this piece, and drink some water to barely cover a meal. It is difficult to replenish at sea, so it is best to stock up on more food."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng took a bite of the compressed biscuit.

Hold it in your mouth and savor it for a while.

He specially wrote a letter to the county to point out this thing, and asked the craftsmen to temporarily develop a rough hydraulic forging hammer with a water wheel, using hydraulic compression.

Although I don't know what kind of machine is used to make modern compressed biscuits, but the compressed biscuits that are hammered out now are not badly different from the hardness of later generations, and even a little harder.

It's just that there is no technology and hard work, and the taste is not very good.

Of course, this taste is not good, but for Fang Zhengyi, compressed biscuits were disgusting when he was in school in his previous life.

In order to add some nutrition to the crew, it also added specially dried and made chopped vegetables, which tasted a bit scumbag.

Lai Gou'er took a sip and said pleasantly, "It's delicious! It's so delicious!"

The eyes of Chu Qinghan and Chu Youyi's sisters were also full of splendor.

Chu Qinghan took a sip and thought about it: "This snack tastes very good, and it's very sweet, there should be a lot of sugar in it."

Fangzheng nodded: "Yes, compressed biscuits are mainly made of flour plus salt and sugar oil. There are additionally added meat floss, vegetable powder, and nut powder. Those powders you see are semi-finished products that have been baked once. .”

so luxurious...

Chu Qinghan sighed inwardly, and said: "If your lord prepared the compressed biscuits for going to sea, then they must be stored for a long time."

"In addition, it is hammered into a very small size, which should save a lot of storage space. This is really a good business. But the materials used are a bit more expensive... I am afraid that the people will not accept it, and it is too sweet and too hard. I won't eat it often."

Fang Zhengyi was a little surprised, but at the same time he couldn't help sighing.

No wonder Chu Qinghan was able to prop up the Chu family by himself, eating a biscuit and thinking about what was there, it was really tiring.

"Brother, is there any water? The compressed biscuits are a bit choking."

"Yeah, it's delicious, but it's too dry."

Two muttering voices came, Fangzheng turned his head and was shocked!

Chu Youyi and Lai Gou'er shared half a pack of biscuits.

The cheeks of the two were swollen from eating, and they were clamoring for water.

"Throw up! Throw up! You can eat one mouthful, you want to be stuffed to death, didn't you just finish eating?" Fangzheng said loudly.

The food has already been eaten, so they are not willing to spit it out again, the two of them choked on their throats at the same time.

Chu Youyi blushed, with biscuit crumbs on the corner of her mouth, she turned her head away quietly.

Lai Gou'er said with a silly smile: "Brother, I'm full, I'm used to slipping around..."

Chu Youyi eats as soon as she eats, after all, Xiong Xiong hasn't seen any growth, so eat more.

Nima!You are five big and three thick, and you just finished a meal at noon and slipped out with compressed biscuits?

Fangzheng said with a sullen face, "Okay, it's just this one time today, you might have to eat this stuff every day on the boat, and you'll have to vomit sooner or later, from today onwards you're not allowed to eat it."

"Yes, brother!" Lai Gou'er rolled his tongue around his mouth, and quickly put away the greased paper bag.
