This land was contracted by me [farming]

The weather is already warming up, even Jingyang has a lot of warmth.

On this day, in various villages in Jingyang County, an unusual thing happened.As long as a salesman wearing a black bunt appeared in the village, there would be an incredible exclamation, and then the salesman shouted at the top of his voice not to squeeze.

"Come one by one! This salt is sold out and there are more, everyone line up, so that the speed can be faster!" Fancheng's voice was loud, and the villagers around could understand the shout.

But salt, which costs two cents a catty, is so cheap to buy and sell, no wonder they are not in a hurry.

Some family members bought three catties, and originally wanted to buy more.But the salesman said that this is the county magistrate's salt, and the family can only buy three catties at most.If anyone cheated, he would report it to the yamen, and in the future, their cheap salt sellers would not come to this village again.

After hearing this, everyone put away all the small thoughts in their hearts.I don't blame them, the main reason is that I have never seen such a cheap deal, and I want to take advantage of this moment to buy more.What if it becomes more expensive in the future?No one can tell, right?

The poorer also gritted their teeth and bought a pound.Save some food, you can eat for many days.

When a village is sold out, two baskets of salt are directly missing one basket.As he was leaving, someone asked him when he would come next time.Fan Cheng put the cloth cover on the salt basket with a smile, and replied: "I come once a month, and it may not be me next time. Just accept the price of clothes and salt. The county magistrate said that it is impossible to increase the price of coarse salt he sells." .Don’t be fooled by others and buy expensive salt.”

"Hey? The county magistrate, why are you so talkative all of a sudden?"

"Old man, I have lived most of my life, and I have never heard of any official who is like this. I guess I am blessed."

"We can't say for sure whether it is blessed or not. As long as this cheap salt can be eaten all the time, it will be good."

The villagers had long-lost smiles on their faces because of the rare cheap salt.Although life is poor, but also can feel the warmth.Jingyang has begun to break away from the cold winter and slowly embraces spring.

Zhao Keran went to the Animal Husbandry Department with the same bamboo basket as yesterday, and the things in it were the same.

He came from the Animal Husbandry Department by coincidence. In the 000 satellite system screen, the two veterinary officers of the Animal Husbandry Department were too busy to touch the ground.Through the system screen, it should be a calf with dysentery that cannot be stopped, and the two are busy catching and dispensing medicine.

The owner of the little calf came to report to the department every day, and his mouth was so anxious that blisters grew.

Xue Yi poured down a bowl of medicine, sweating likewise anxiously, "Father, this prescription doesn't seem to be working!" Although the calf's symptoms improved somewhat, they still couldn't stop.As usual, after these two days of treatment, the effect should be even better.

Xue Renshan's expression was dignified. This prescription for dysentery is commonly used by their animal husbandry department, and it works most of the time.

When a small number of times it didn't work, he knew that maybe the prescription was not right.It's just that he has tried many methods over the years, but there is no way to further improve the recipe.

"Hey, I think it's a hit."

Zhonghong is the part of cattle that their animal husbandry department described as being unable to be saved by this formula, as if they had won a red label with a bad symbolic meaning in the lottery.

"My lord!" The officers and soldiers guarding the gate of the Animal Husbandry Department ran all the way to communicate.

Xue Renshan rubbed his aching head and asked, "What's the matter?"

"A young man came outside the door, saying that he is the newly appointed county magistrate of Jingyang, and he is here to visit you, my lord."

Xue Renshan didn't stop moving, he just said he didn't see him.

The gatekeeper's face was tangled, but he thought that if the other party was really the county magistrate, if he didn't send a message to him, he might wear small shoes for him in the future.So he could only bite the bullet and said: "The young man said that if the adults refuse to meet, the prescription for treating cow dysentery in his hand may not be suitable for the adults."

"What did he say?" Xue Yi was a little annoyed, "What can he do? Is he coaxing or threatening?" Xue Yi looked at his father who was sitting on the chair with a tired expression, "Father, this man beat me like the one before. Several county magistrates have an idea! They just want us to provide them with a large amount of beef for resale! Have they discussed it? All of them use the excuse that there is a prescription for curing cattle disease!"

However, Xue Renshan is a master who would rather be deceived than miss a single one.

When Zhao Keran was invited in, 000 had already helped him zoom in on the satellite surveillance image and analyzed the calf's condition.According to the symptoms, he downloaded a symptomatic prescription from the book in the system mall.Otherwise, he might not be able to pass this test today. It can't be said that he doesn't know much about Chinese medicine and disease symptoms, it can be said that he doesn't know anything about it.

Xue Renshan has been deceived so many times, and now he doesn't want to waste time.He straight to the point asked Zhao Keran for the prescription, and Zhao Keran put down the bamboo basket, walked to the table, and wrote "Pulsatilla San" on the system.It is marked which ones need to be shaved, which ones need to be slightly fried, and which ones need to be dried...

Xue Renshan took the prescription and judged it based on his many years of veterinary experience, "This Pulsatilla curs blood, eliminates stasis, and detoxifies dampness. Mixed with Sophora flavescens has the effect of killing insects, and mixed with donkey-hide gelatin can nourish yin and nourish blood, clear away heat and detoxify. But But I have never heard that it can cure dysentery."

Zhao Keran pursed his lips, thought for a while and said: "The junior once worshiped Taoist Master Yunxu as his teacher, and lived with the master in the mountains for eight years, and knew a thing or two about Taoism and medicine. The master once told the junior that the medicine of Pulsatilla is very effective. Wide. Return to the meridians, return to the stomach, the large intestine channel. Heat-clearing and toxic substances removing, controlling toxic dysentery.

It can also relieve pain by expelling blood and treat gold sores.That is to say, it is also effective for traumatic injury pain and traumatic bleeding.But it can be said to be an important medicine for treating dysentery, and the effect is remarkable. "

The specific medicinal properties of a blind medicine require years of trial and research by doctors.And then from generation to generation, from generation to generation.

Xue Renshan looked at Fang Zi and frowned in thought. He had never thought of Pulsatilla in terms of medicine before.On the prescription of "Pulsatilla Powder", Huang Lian and Qin Pi are commonly used by them to treat dysentery, and it looks like that.

Seeing Xue Renshan's hesitant preparation, Zhao Keran said, "This Pulsatilla powder has a miraculous effect on dysentery with pus and blood, more red and less white. This kind of dysentery is mostly caused by bad bacteria, which are invisible to our naked eyes. Yes, it exists in all things in the world. And Pulsatilla has significant antibacterial effect. And this prescription can also treat horses, sheep, and chickens, but the dosage is different. Horses are the same as cattle, sheep come second, and chickens are the least.”

Bacteria invisible to the naked eye that exist in everything in the world?It's just ridiculous.

But how much pus and blood are leaking out, more red and less white?Isn't this the symptom of the little calf today?Can you manage horses?Outside Jingyang City is the frontier army, and horses often die of diarrhea.If this prescription is true, it can indeed solve many problems.

As an elder, Xue Renshan didn't want to argue with Zhao Keran about ignorance and nonsense, he was more interested in the efficacy of the prescriptions sent by the other party.

"Yi'er, cook according to this recipe." Xue Renshan hurriedly handed the prescription to Xue Yi, and he wanted to see if this "Pulsatilla Powder" was a good recipe.

Although Xue Yi was reluctant, he obediently listened to his father's advice and went to decoct the medicine.

While waiting for the medicine, the hall was very quiet, except for the occasional wailing of the calf, there was no other sound.

Zhao Keran seemed silent, but actually turned on the system and silently familiarized himself with the recipe for making cream.

"Here comes the medicine!" Xue Yi trotted over with the medicine in his hand. According to the prescribed dosage, there was only a small bowl.

The calf is in the hall now, Xue Renshan took the medicine and poured it down himself.

The owner of the calf stared nervously, and he could clearly hear what the adults were talking about.Originally, his calf was about to die, but the county magistrate said there was a prescription to save it.Even if there is a glimmer of hope, he kept praying in his heart for the gods from all walks of life to show their spirits.It is not easy to buy a cow. If it dies, there is no place to cry.

The traditional Chinese medicine is not immediately effective, but Xue Renshan still noticed that the calf is not the same as before.It seems that the abdominal pain is not so painful.

He was also embarrassed to leave Zhao Keran alone, so he asked, "What is the reason for the county magistrate's visit?"

Finally willing to talk to him.

Zhao Keran didn't even have time to back out of the system, and looked at Xue Renshan through a light screen, "This junior wants to buy a large amount of beef suet from the Animal Husbandry Department, and give it at the market price."

Xue Renshan raised his eyebrows, "I thought you would ask for free beef." Although there was little beef suet, eating this butter would make your stomach uncomfortable, and no one in Jingyang ate it.Generally, the beef suet is thrown away. Since the other party wants to buy it, he can sell it to the other party at a cheaper price.

Zhao Keran silently shed tears for himself, it was really not easy for him.Judging by the cynical attitudes of the two bosses of the Animal Husbandry Department and the Salt Taxation Department, it is presumably because the previous county magistrates were too discredited, and he was also "sit down" for doing so.

The animal husbandry department did not have much beef suet left, only ten catties. Xue Renshan said: "No one eats butter, so the animal husbandry department usually throws away the beef suet. There are still about ten catties that have not been processed in time. If you If you want, I will give you two cents per catty in the future, and make up an even number."

Xue Renshan secretly seeks benefits for the farmers who have lost their cows. In fact, it is okay to give them away for free, but he still wants the farmers to earn a few more copper coins.

Zhao Keran readily agreed. Seeing him nodding happily, Xue Renshan happily promised that the Department of Animal Husbandry would deliver the goods to the door within two days.

On the way back to the county government office, the long-lost task system went online.

【Ding!The system has detected a number of high-quality sustainable development projects such as sweet potatoes, watermelons, grapes, cantaloupe, labor unions, enlightenment schools, supermarkets, beach-dried salt, low-priced crude salt, oil mills, and daily chemical products. 】【Ding!Develop people's livelihood, complete the task, and reward energy points: 10000. 】【Ding, total energy points: 10100. 】

[Task 10: Develop people's livelihood. Advanced, please increase Jingyang's effective labor force by 50000%.Limited to six months.50000 energy points are rewarded for task completion, and [-] energy points are deducted for task failure. ] He completed the task?It's dangerous.There are still a few days before the death line, and he thought that this time he would die.

000: [Our systems are reasonable and good systems. As long as Brother Ran continues to develop high-quality projects in the future, task four will be completed easily. 】Zhao Keran nodded, admitting that their system does make sense.

000 is rare to be praised by Zhao Keran, and the excited codes are randomly strung together.

After getting energy points, the first thing to do is to go to the system mall to have a look.

What did he see!Potato!corn!cotton!And corn!He can buy it!

Zhao Keran returned to the county government office, stood beside his wooden box and gestured.See how many seeds he can pretend to get out of it.

Counting the watermelon, grapes and cantaloupe seeds that I pretended to take before, it takes up about half of the box.After Zhao Keran thought about it, he decided to take more potatoes, corn and cotton, and less corn.

Cotton is a must. In the winter at the border, it can really freeze people to death.Even if there is no way to plant on a large scale this year, at least a lot of seeds will be left for the coming year.Needless to say, potatoes are also a staple food.There is more corn because it can be used as a staple food, and rice bran is also a high-quality feed for pigs and chickens.

He wants to develop the breeding industry in the future, but now he has nothing to eat and no suitable feed to raise.Now that there is such an opportunity, Zhao Keran doesn't want to let it go.

Corn itself is very cold-tolerant, drought-tolerant, and poor-tolerant.The requirements for the land are not very high. First, plant a little less and save some seeds. After the seeds have passed the clear road, you can let go of the seeds in the coming year.

According to the climate of Jingyang, these four crops are suitable for planting now. The corn can be planted on the ground of Xu's family in Hedong Village first.The other three species, Zhao Keran, had to find sandy soil to grow them, especially cotton.Sandy soil is not only conducive to the development of cotton seedlings, but also can protect the seedlings.The large temperature difference in the soil can play a big role in the later growth nutrition and reproductive growth of cotton.

Zhao Keran asked 000 to check that there is still a large area of ​​sandy soil in Jingyang.

After scanning around, 000 said that there is a large area of ​​sandy soil to the east of Jingyang Mountain, and there is a hidden river there.

Zhao Keran carried a sack and went to Hedong Village.

Fang Zhongyuan lives in Hedong Village these days every day, guarding the sweet potatoes.The people of Hedong Village even bought another earthen house for him to live in. When he is free, he will teach the children of Hedong Village to write.

When he saw Zhao Keran, he was registering those who borrowed farm tools.

"Lord county magistrate, what did you bring here? It's bulging." Fang Zhongyuan put down his pen and stepped forward to help Zhao Keran.It's kind of heavy to mention.

Someone helped Zhao Keran, and Zhao Keran relaxed a lot. He said, "I think the land in Hedong Village has been planted recently, and it's getting warmer today, and some seeds have been dug out." Zhao Keran opened the bag and pointed it to Fang Zhongyuan, " There are potatoes, cotton, corn and corn."

Fang Zhongyuan knew that Zhao Keran had a wooden box, and also knew that he had brought some seeds from the mountains where he lived before.But this was too much... It was hard for him to imagine how the wooden box was stuffed.

"These are all my belongings, they must be treated well!" Zhao Keran patted the bag.

Fang Zhongyuan came back to his senses and nodded.That's all that's left?That plus the previous ones, it can almost be stuffed.Fang Zhongyuan took a closer look at the seeds, wanting to see if they were crushed, and he was relieved when he saw that they were intact.

Zhao Keran and Fang Zhongyuan said that the characteristics of each seed are still valuable, Fang Zhongyuan nodded repeatedly, and sighed: "This world is really full of wonders. Knowledge on paper is limited after all. If you can go out and walk more Take a look, the next official must have half of what the county magistrate has seen and heard."

Zhao Keran was a little embarrassed, the original body was so old, how could he bear the praise of his elders, "I don't know much, it's my master Master Yunxu who has a lot of knowledge. All my knowledge is taught by him."

"Daoist Yunxu, you are truly a god!" Fang Zhongyuan sighed sincerely.

Zhao Keran followed Fang Zhongyuan to look at the grapes, but he didn't look aside when the grapes were planted.As it turned out, his worries were unfounded, and the grapes were growing well.

That's right, everyone has been relying on farming for a living since they were young, and no matter what, there will be no major mistakes.

"When the grape seedlings are about 20 inches tall, we need to start building shelves. Master Pan has already asked people to do the shelf work. At this time, we also need to start the first top dressing, which is conducive to early high yield. If you are really too busy, you can also use a little shelf life. Set it up earlier. Deeper and fixed. Don’t use too much farmyard manure, the seedlings are too small to absorb too much nutrition. Chase frequently and apply less, once every 30 or [-] days, or two or three times a year It's ok. After topdressing, pay attention to the dryness of the land, replenish water in time, and loosen the soil properly." Zhao Keran pointed to the sandy soil and said, "These crops must be weeded in time, so that the grass cannot steal nutrients."

Zhao Keran looked at the watermelon, and now the watermelon is showing signs of blooming.The flowering period of watermelon is very short, and it can bear fruit at the same time as it blooms. It will not be long before the watermelon can be eaten.

There are not many new seeds, and the four crops are only planted on a little over an acre.Fang Zhongyuan arranged for two people to plant new crops on the east side of Jingyang Mountain, and all the work was done in one day.Zhao Keran looked at the remaining large piece of land, and his heart was bleeding.

If possible, he would like to plant all these lands.Then why wait another year to save seeds, he can wear cotton clothes this year!But if he really took out so many seeds out of thin air, he might be regarded as a monster and burned.

And in the future, he can no longer use the excuse that the seeds were brought from the mountains. He has to think about how to make up the source of the seeds in the future.

In life, there are always troubles one after another.

The problem of new crops has been solved, and Zhao Keran will start to focus on making creams and soaps.

The formula needs to be tested again, and mass production can only be carried out after success.After the Department of Animal Husbandry sent the beef suet to the county government, Zhao Keran locked himself in the house.

After refining the beef suet, sprinkle some salt on the leftover oil residue. The two children Zhao Xiaoyu and Huo An especially like to eat it.Zhao Keran also likes to eat, but he has no time to eat.

The main raw materials of the cream are stearic acid, alkali, water and essence.

To obtain stearic acid, caustic soda and tallow must be saponified.Caustic soda can be obtained from plant ash, which is widely used in Dayuan.Plant ash is easy to get, commoners use plant ash for washing, shampooing and bathing.The menstrual belt used by women is also filled with plant ash.It can even be used to make wine to reduce acidity, and plant ash can also be used as medicine.

The aristocrats are more particular, using acacia and hibiscus leaves.

Plant ash is also needed in farmyard manure now.

If he makes paper in the future, he will also need plant ash for bleaching.Nowadays, there is no way to make soda ash and obtain a large amount of caustic soda through causticization, so it can only be slowly extracted with plant ash.The raised alkali can also be used to leaven noodles, and you can eat steamed buns and buns in the future!

This is simply almighty gray!

Zhao Keran built a small stove, poured plant ash into clay pots and heated it over low heat to speed up the dissolution of potassium salts in the plant ash.Seeing that the time was almost up, he poured the plant ash water and plant ash onto the gauze, and there was a container of water under the gauze.Zhao Keran twisted the gauze to make sure that there was no solution to come out, and then filtered and purified the obtained solution a second time.

After the solution became clear, Zhao Keran poured it into a pot and heated it to concentrate to increase the concentration.When the solution evaporates to the point where there is still a little left, stop heating and wait quietly for the crystals to precipitate.

After writing down the steps, dosage and time in detail, Zhao Keran repeated it several times to get enough caustic soda.

In order to be able to observe the saponification reaction, Zhao Keran also went to Xu Mansion to snatch Xu Wenwu's beloved Poli Cup.It can also be called a glass, a crystal cup.This glass is a homonym of Puli, because the raw material of this cup is produced in a mountain called Puli, hence the name.

It was not easy for Xu Wenwu to get such a big Poli cup, so he was snatched away by Zhao Keran.If it wasn't for the precious stones, Xu Wenwu would have led someone to overthrow the county government.

Butter and caustic soda are mixed, stirred and heated according to the ratio in the formula. After the reaction, a mixture of hard soap, glycerin and water is formed.

If you only make hard soap, you can also replace the butter with lard.Hard soap has a high alkali content and has a strong ability to remove oil stains.However, due to a large amount of alkali, it is more irritating to the skin.If you use too much, your skin will become dry, rough, and peeling.So hard soap can only be used for washing clothes, not for bathing.

If you want to take a bath, you have to add potassium ash to reduce the alkali content and make soft soap.Add some fragrance, it can also be called soap.

Potassium ash also needs to be synthesized separately, but Zhao Keran now prefers stearic acid and glycerin.

Oil and caustic soda produce saponification reaction to obtain a mixture.Divide the mixture in two, and add green sclera oil diluted with water, that is, dilute sulfuric acid, to one part.A strong acid makes a weak acid, and stearic acid is a weak acid.In layman's terms, the strong acid drives the weak acid away, and the strong acid dissolves in water.After the two reacted, the sodium stearate in the stearic acid produced a chemical reaction and dissolved in water.In this way, pure stearic acid can be obtained.

The other part needs to slowly add salt to it for salting out. Different fats and oils are made, and the limit concentration of salting out is also different.Zhao Keran carefully marked the salting-out limit concentration when using butter, that is, the minimum concentration.

After stirring and standing still.Hard soap is separated from glycerin and water and floats on the liquid surface.Two states are formed, the upper layer is hard soap containing water, and the lower layer is an aqueous glycerin solution with salt, and the obtained glycerin aqueous solution is then distilled to obtain glycerin.

Finally, it was prepared according to the material ratio of the cream, and the water was replaced by Lingquan water by Zhao Keran.Also added a little glycerin, adding glycerin is to have a good moisturizing effect.

When adding glycerin, Zhao Keran suddenly thought of gun|powder.One of the ingredients of gun|powder is nitro|chemical|glycerin.

But he didn't think much about it, if the thing didn't have the exact proportions, he would be the first to die.Besides, he has nothing to do to make gunpowder|powder, he doesn't fight wars.

After the cream was made, Zhao Keran wiped it on his face.When touching the skin, the icy cold, fleeting touch is really like snowflakes.The overall feeling is good, but there is no taste.

Petal distillation is relatively simple, and Zhao Keran likes to do the difficult things first.After the petals extract the pure dew, add some more to it. Only the scented cream has a soul.

The author has something to say: In the article, the efficacy of Pulsatillae, Psyllium powder, stearate, glycerin, and all the information about chemistry are all based on research.

In some places, there are more academic but convoluted chemical names. I changed them to popular ones, so don't take them too seriously... The author has not done these experiments...

Potassium Ash: Potassium Hydroxide

Butter and mutton oil are not easy to digest, and it is uncomfortable to eat too much.Butter hot pot, delicious.
