Datang Live Room

In the end, Yan's decision to call the car "Big Car" was unanimously opposed by everyone.

And everyone felt that it would be better not to bother Magistrate Xiaoyan about naming matters in the future.

After the chariot was finalized, the craftsmen at home became busy.

Craftsmen from the Cheng family also joined in.

Then they discovered that the craftsmen of the Yan family, not to mention the senior craftsmen who came from the palace, even the original craftsmen of the Yan family...

So strong!

Everyone has some wild ideas and techniques, and it is said that they were all inspired by Magistrate Xiaoyan.

Only then did they learn that there was a "secret" that was "widely known" among the craftsmen.

That is, Magistrate Xiaoyan is actually a descendant of the Mohist family and a disciple of Luban. He just doesn't usually take action himself and leaves these simple things to everyone, so that everyone can find their own solutions to problems.

At most, he will inspire you, but he won't tell you exactly what to do.

Of course this is a secret, at least Yan Kai himself doesn’t know it.

After breakfast, Yan Kai returned to the county government office with two handfuls of white flowers.

Seeing Huang Rong and Yun Zhuiyue watching the children playing at home, they walked over and said:

"It just so happens that you two are here."

Then each person was given a large bouquet of flowers.

Yun Zhuiyue's face turned slightly red. Why did this man send flowers to two girls at the same time? What exactly does that mean?

After spending time with Yan Kai for a long time, it is easy for people to ignore the fact that he is actually only sixteen years old.

However, Huang Rong had already known about Yan Kai's urinary properties, so he would definitely not be able to do such a thing as sending flowers.

She rolled her eyes at him and asked, "What's going on again?"

"I asked you to come and get cotton together!"

What he was holding was none other than cotton.

At this time, it was also called Baidiezi and was mainly used as an ornamental flower.

Before last winter, their family also picked reed flowers together.

The warmth retention property of reed catkins is still much worse than that of cotton.

So he decided to wear cotton-padded clothes this winter.

In the spring, he planted a lot of cotton on the land he rented from the people.

It's time to harvest.

Kuoding County does not support idle people. Now that he has looked around, except for children, these two women are the most idle. Of course, they will be recruited to work for him.

"Pfft, hahaha, I thought the host was enlightened and said he wanted to see the Shura Field!"

"What a guy, the anchor gives flowers just to ask people to do work!"

"Why don't we ask Li Shimin to grant us a marriage in the future? Do you think our anchor can find a wife like this?"

Netizens in the live broadcast room directly turned on the mocking mode, and Yan Kai's operation shocked them.

Yan Kai didn't care about this and took the two girls to a dam.

There are already a lot of women sitting here, and each woman has a small machine in front of her.

"This is a manual cotton gin, look at it!" Yan Kai said, sitting down first, taking a ball of cotton and placing it in front of the two sticks, and then started to shake the handle on one side with his other hand.

The two sticks rotated toward each other, stirring up the small ball of cotton.

Then the cotton comes out from the back, and some small seeds fall out from the front.

"This is cottonseed. If you do it like this, you will separate the cotton and cottonseed." Yan Kai stepped aside and said, "Just do it like this."

"I always thought that when cotton is harvested, it can be made into cotton batting for quilts by simply flicking it. It turns out that there is still this process!"

"I know this. Cottonseed can also be used to extract oil. My grandfather said that cottonseed oil could be eaten when they were young, but later they heard that it was unhealthy, so they stopped using it for food."

"This thing can be used to make soap. Didn't the anchor say some time ago that soap lacks oil? This thing is actually good for making soap."

To be honest, Yan Kai himself didn't even think that this thing could be used to make soap, so he directly sent a red envelope to the brother who posted the barrage.

"Craftsmanship, do you understand?"

It's that concise and to the point.

Although this cotton gin is manual, its efficiency is actually pretty good.

Soon a lot of cotton was deseeded.

Some people carried these and went to the other side.

Throw it into a large wooden box. There are many children similar to Yan Xiaoer next to it, holding wooden sticks and beating the cotton crazily.

They are not playing, this is work.

This is to make the cotton more scattered and soft, and then send it to the final process.

Play cotton!

It is rare to see cotton-playing craftsmen in Yan Kai in modern times. You may still see them only in small and remote counties.

When it comes to technology, it definitely has it.

People born in the Tang Dynasty still don’t know how to play cotton.

Yan Kai could only find some tutorials, teach his father first, and then ask his father to play with others.

The open space near that half was full of bang bang bang sounds.

The county boy who plays cotton is probably unprecedented and unprecedented.

However, Yan Laoer was very happy at work. Kuoding County did not support idlers. Even if he was a county boy and the father of Xiaoyan County Magistrate, he still felt that he should work.

And because Yan Kai opened a small stove for him, his cotton is the best.

"To be honest, the three-pound quilts and five-pound quilts my mother made for me when I was a kid were a little heavy, but they were really comfortable to cover."

"Yeah, yeah, the quilt is heavier than the down quilt, but I like the feeling of having a little weight on my body, so I can sleep soundly."

"At that time, we would usually re-brush it every two or three years and then expose it to the sun. It would be so comfortable to cover it with the quilt."

Many netizens in the live broadcast room began to miss the quilts of the past.

Some younger people, who didn’t even know what a quilt was, said they wanted to try it after learning about the benefits of quilts.

There is still a little less cotton planted in Kuoding County this year.

At first, Yan Kai thought that it would be enough to make some cotton-padded clothes for people in the county.

But plans can't keep up with changes.

This time we are going to fight in the Turks, and the severe cold is a problem that must be overcome.

Then cotton-padded clothes, cotton shoes and cotton hats are one of the best choices.

First, prepare the clothing for the two hundred people going north to keep out the cold. As for the people in the county, as long as they have enough food and fuel.

Even if the cat is inside the house, it can survive the entire winter.

He Kuoding County is not short of money either.

As for gloves, it is a bit troublesome. Ordinary cotton gloves can keep warm, but they are easy to slip when using weapons, and it is inconvenient to operate a crossbow.

Yan Kai had no choice but to ask Li Anyan to go out to sea and bring back thousands of pairs of labor protection gloves with rubber particles on the palms.

Externally, it is said that he met Persian merchants at sea and bought it from them.

The Persian merchants sold these gloves to Li Anyan and disappeared into the sea.

As for whether other people believe it or not, it has little to do with him.
