The ancient farming life of liberal arts scum

Xun Feiguang was not the only one who was troubled.

I don't know if it is because of his mental age that he has returned to sixteen. Recently, he is very willing to explore, especially about the most private things in life.

Originally Master Xun was patient and gentle, even though he didn't have many tricks, Shen Ge often had to beg him to stop softly with his face flushed.

Shen Ge has always been a little overwhelmed by the strong Xun Feiguang, and now the matter is even more intense, he often feels as if he is dying, and he has a faint sense of fear about this matter.After all, it's a cool thing, if the hands are soft and the legs are weak after the fun, and it's hard to get off the bed, it's a little scary.

However, Shen Ge thought about it in his heart, he had never been able to refuse Xun Feiguang, and when Xun Feiguang proposed, he still reluctantly cooperated.

Due to the cold weather and indulgence, Shen Ge really fell ill. He was lying on the bed with a layer of white skin on his lips, which made Xun Feiguang very distressed.

Bai Liyi specially invited the doctor who lived in the general's mansion to come over to feel Shen Ge's pulse.When the doctor saw Shen Ge's appearance, his eyes were a little complicated. After he euphemistically asked for abstinence from Shen Ge who was lying on the bed and couldn't get out of bed, he also prescribed a lot of tonic soup.

After seeing the prescription clearly, Shen Ge blushed to the base of his neck, and almost tore off the prescription from his hand.

Shen Ge was sick in bed, and Xun Fei went to the Changzhou county government to help him ask for leave, and he didn't let him get involved in various affairs in Qinglingwei.

Since he was ill, many things in Qing Lingwei were messed up.

Until now, Shao Xin and others understood how many things Shen Ge had done on weekdays, and they were quite moved in their hearts.Although Shen Ge's number one scholar had a bit of luck in it, he was the number one scholar after all the real gold and silver, and his talent is not a problem. Even though Qinglingwei, which has only more than 3000 people and a poor county, is really inferior.

Not to mention 3000 people, even if there were 3 people here, it would be no problem for Shen Ge to take care of it.

In the past few days, Xun Feiguang has personally handled official duties. One afternoon, the soldiers under his command sent a pile of dried duck feathers, and baskets of duck feathers had to be piled up there.Not to mention that the top was covered with hemp, and the hemp was stretched on the basket with a rope to prevent the duck feathers from being blown away by the wind.

Shao Xin came to Xun Feiguang to listen to the order, and was puzzled when he saw this, "Why did you send the duck feathers here?"

"Return to Commander, the second master specially asked us to dry it and deliver it." The soldier replied respectfully, "I don't know the specific use of duck feathers."

Hearing that this was Shen Ge's idea, Shao Xin didn't ask any more, he waved his hand to order the soldiers to retreat, and muttered, "I don't know what clever plan Chen Ge'er came up with."

"You'll see it when you wait, what's the hurry?" Xun Feiguang glanced at him, "There is not enough food in the camp, you and Bai Liyi can discuss with Bailiyi to store more, so as not to attract attention."

"Yes."

"How did the foreign barbarians do the torture? Have you spit out the technology for making sea boats?"

"I have spit it out a few days ago, but there are two people who confessed, and the contents of the confessions of the two foreigners are quite different. There are no shipbuilders in the camp, and it is impossible to verify whether their words are true or not, and who is true and who is false."

"What's the problem?" Xun Fei looked at the official document Shaoxin handed in, and said calmly: "The man is already in our hands, you just let Yang Yi and the shipbuilder build a new ship together. If he is willing to cooperate, don't wrong him. It's delicious." Treat him deliciously, and satisfy the rest of the requirements as much as possible except to prevent him from escaping. If he refuses, you put him in the dungeon for a few more days, and he will make his own choice."

"Well, I know."

"Is there any movement in the capital?"

"Except that the second master has just been promoted by half a level recently, there is nothing else for now."

"Let Xun Yi be careful. The rest of the personnel will be transferred to Nanguan slowly, and we will use Nanguan as our basis in the future. In addition, release the news of my stay in Nanguan. If my former subordinates are willing to come over, I will treat them kindly and don't be stingy." .”

"Master, do you want to—" Shao Xin stopped talking at the end, a sternness flashed in his eyes, and he winked in the direction of Kyoto.

Xun Feiguang's lips curled up slightly, "Don't worry, I won't rebel. But Chen Ge is right, my Xun family joined forces with the Yan family, there is no reason why other families dominate the world and my family is forced to have nowhere to go."

The 29-year-old Xun Feiguang was disheartened. Even though he was poisoned, he still wanted to be a loyal minister and a good general. He preferred to avoid living as an old man in Shenjia Village, and he did not raise an army to fight against the injustice he suffered.

The 16-year-old Xun Feiguang is a bit more rebellious, the king treats me like nothing, and I regard the king as a bandit.What's more, he has a family now, so it's fine for him to be wronged, it's not easy for the young master to suffer wronged with him.

Shaoxin was a little excited when he heard the words, he bowed his hands and promised, "Master, just wait for the good news!"

Xun Feiguang was willing to give it a try, and the happiest people were those who followed him.No matter what happens in the future, the Lord is willing to fight, and there is always a glimmer of hope.

When Shen Ge got up from the hospital bed, he didn't know that Xun Feiguang had already started to gather power in private, slowly seeking power and position.

He looked at the big frames in the yard, and ordered Dong Xiaowu to remove the linen and smell it himself.

The smell of untreated duck feathers was so strong that it could be smelled all over the yard. It was hard for Xun Feiguang to punch nearby these days without complaining.

Dong Xiaowu swiftly responded to Shen Ge's request and removed the linen from all the frames.

Shen Ge forgot to explain when killing the duck, and after killing the duck, he remembered that he could try to play with the eiderdown quilt.

The duck down produced by a duck is very little, and it is mainly concentrated in the chest and abdomen. Now it has been mixed together, so I am afraid it should not be separated.

Shen Ge took it out and had a look, and ordered Dong Xiaowu to call [-] people over to wash the duck feathers in a big tub.

"The main thing is to wash out the velvet. You can ask people to test whether the duck feathers will sink to the bottom. First remove the duck feathers that sink to the bottom, and then use a sieve to sift out the washed velvet."

This step by step process is cumbersome, but if you can really make a duck down quilt, the step of selecting down can be completed when the duck is killed in the future, and then simply processed later.

There are many people in Qinglingwei, and some people do this process.

On the third day, a small basket of tightly packed dried duck down was delivered to Shen Ge's case.Shen Ge weighed it with a scale, removed the frame, and the pure duck down weighed more than four catties.

So much duck down is enough to make a small duck down quilt.

Next is cleaning.

Duck down has a strong smell. Chen Ge asked people to wash it repeatedly with acacia, grass ash, pancreas, etc., and then dry it after washing. The residual duck smell of the washed down was still relatively strong.Although such heavy duck down can also be used to make a quilt, it will sacrifice comfort, and ultimately it is not very cost-effective.

The production process of the eiderdown quilt is too cumbersome and consumes too much labor. If the price cannot be sold in the end, it is better not to make it.The powerful do not want to use smelly quilts, but ordinary people can't afford them, and it's a waste of labor to make them.

Xun Feiguang was quite interested in this eiderdown quilt, and turned his head to Shen Ge and said: "If it can be made, it can be made into clothes and worn outside, it will be very useful in dealing with the northern barbarians in winter."

This thing is light, and after wearing it, the soldiers will not be bloated and inconvenient like wearing furs or cotton clothes. It is difficult to lift up their hands, and their combat power is naturally high.With this thing in place, it would be like a god's help for the superior soldiers to clean up the northern barbarians.

Shen Ge weighed the duck down in his hand, and said: "Theoretically, it is feasible, but the cost of making this duck down clothes is too high, even if it can be made, it is difficult for ordinary soldiers to wear it."

Shen Ge plans to wrap the duck down with ordinary cotton cloth, and then ask the needlewoman to sew the cotton cloth into grids to keep the duck down in the quilt as evenly as possible, then wrap a layer of satin on the cotton cloth, and sew it again. After sewing, wrap cotton cloth and sew again, and finally put on the quilt cover.

Layers of cotton cloth and silk are wrapped to prevent flying lint as much as possible, but the cost is also extremely high.

After listening to Shen Ge's idea, Xun Feiguang asked: "What if there are not so many layers?"

"I guess the duck down inside will come out. The clothes may be cold every year, and in the end they won't keep warm at all. Moreover, if the duck down inside flies out and floats in the air, it will be uncomfortable for people to inhale it for a long time."

"How about using duck feathers instead of duck down to make clothes?"

"You can try this, but the clothes you make may not be very suitable. The tube of duck feathers is too hard, and the clothes are not comfortable enough."

Xun Feiguang pondered for a while, and still asked people to try making duck feather clothes.Although he was not in the Northern Man, he cared about the northern frontier and felt sorry for those veterans.If there is anything good that can help them, Xun Feiguang still wants to reach out.

Xun Feiguang's idea of ​​using duck feathers to make clothes didn't go well, and Shen Ge's duck down treatment didn't go well either. No matter how he asked people to wash the duck down, it still smelled like duck feathers in the end.

Bai Liyi suggested, "Second Master, why not sprinkle some scented dew on it? The latest batch of jasmine scented dew is very fragrant, and it should be able to cover it."

The technology for making fragrance dew has been relatively developed in recent years. Jasmine fragrance dew and sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance dew are all rich in flavors. Sprinkling them on duck down can definitely cover up the smell of duck feathers.

This method is feasible, but it is not in line with Chen Ge's aesthetics. The quilt that will be made at that time will not be fragrant or smelly, and it will be uncomfortable to cover.

Hearing his words, Shen Ge suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "By the way, Brother Baili, what is the pancreas made of? Pig pancreas?"

"Huh?" Bailiyi was puzzled, "Second Master wants to wash with pig soap?"

Shen Ge had already washed it with soap, but at this time he had some other ideas.

In his previous life, when he was in high school, there was no distinction between arts and science in the first year of high school.He remembered very well that one of the biology classes covered salivary amylase.That class was an open class, and the teacher specially bought materials and took them to the laboratory for experiments.Because the process was fun, Shen Ge has been remembered to this day.

He still remembered that some laundry detergents in his previous life had enzymes added to them.Although he is not a student of related majors, he doesn't know what enzymes he added, but those are the ones that are easy to get, and they are roughly concentrated in the digestive organs of animals.

Shen Ge finally came up with a way to get people to collect more pig pancreas, pig stomach and pig small intestine, and grind the leach solution to try to clean the duck down.

The result surprised Shen Ge. After many times of washing and roasting, the small portion of duck down finally sterilized with boiling water did not have any peculiar smell.

After the finished product came out, several people from Shaoxin came to watch.

Although this quilt is light and thin, it is very warm, and it seems to be dragging soft clouds in the hand.

Shen Ge hugged the quilt and smiled, showing it to Bailiyi and the others, "How about it? Brother Baili, if it is sold to you, how much would you like to pay?"

"1000 taels of silver."
