Chapter 105 Dragon's Brain

Because after the affairs of the winery were straightened out, the performance appraisal of the county magistrate immediately turned red, and now coupled with the achievements of the wasteland, this is to suddenly benefit, to stretch the sun to run the limit, originally only five points to grasp the general judgment position, this suddenly became nine out of ten!

So, in three days, hundreds of acres of mountains and forests in the swamp area were all surnamed Su, and the money was spent—uh, barren mountains, less than a hundred.

The documents were finalized, and as soon as the officials left on the front foot, the eighth prince began to gather people on the back foot: "The third child, the mountain pond is re-impounded!" Old five, gather people immediately, and give me all the gentlemen! This winter, my Su family is destined to be idle! ”

The vigorous development of the terraced fields in Kelongli began......

The water has not yet receded, along the water's edge to build a dam, and then from the shore uphill digging soil to fill the downhill out of the dam, this is the second layer of soil and the third layer of soil, just wait for the water to recede, the swamp fertilizer mud dug out and filled, this in and out, is one hundred and fifty acres of paddy field!

After that, build two floors up the mountain every year until the top of the mountain!

Of course, this is the grand blueprint of the Eight Princes, Su You hurriedly interrupted: "Don't don't, it's time-consuming and laborious to open fields on the mountain, we don't need it, open a tea garden, open a Tongzi forest, and a camphor forest, it's already good." ”

Hachiko disagreed: "The eight princes of Xiangzhanglin have already prepared for you, just waiting for you to start reading, and the eight princes will give each of you a bookcase!" ”

Belch...... Your old man always thinks so long-term! Su You is both touching and funny, what if there is no one who has read for decades?

"The forest on the mountain behind the ancestral hall is your property?"

"Ah, Hachiko doesn't have anything else, just this forest, I'll keep it for you in the future."

"Hachiko, you have made a fortune......"

"Hehehe, Hachiko doesn't have that life, but Xiaoyou, your eight characters are powerful......"

I'm too lazy to talk to Hachiko, and before I see something, it's all empty to say anything.

Back at home, Su You also began to gather the children: "The camphor forest behind the mountain, the leaves are old and thick, you go and collect them." ”

The mouse skinny baby is now Su You's number one loyal dog, and it's right to follow Su You for anything, that's what Mom and Dad have spoken!

So if there is a little leisure in the village, there are probably only the old people in their respective families left.

Well, that would have to be after feeding the chickens and ducks.

The refining of the primary products of camphor in later generations was completed by the farmers in southern Sichuan at home, which is not difficult at all.

The technology and distilled spirits operations are almost the same, and now with the cauldron, things are much easier.

The yield is not destined to be too high, but the advantage is that you don't have to cut down the tree, just the leaves.

Su You estimated the oil yield, about one percent, which was twice as bad as that of later generations.

The variety of the camphor tree is not an ordinary camphor, and it is also very different from the camphor in later generations, and Su You has not seen it.

However, after putting the hot camphor oil bottle into the cold water and condensing, there were a lot of flake crystals below, and Shi Wei recognized it at a glance: "Brother Xiaoyou, this is borneol!" What an expensive ......"

This crystallization is also different from camphor in later generations, Su You originally wanted to make mothballs, but he didn't expect to get this thing, it seems that it is a problem with the tree species.

When it was time for dinner, everyone came back, the ancestor of the Shi family was very rich, and when he saw the snow-white crystals in the small bowl, he sniffed it: "Dipterocarp?" How is this what it looks like? A noble person in the family? ”

Shi Wei said: "Brother Xiaoyou did it! I told him it was expensive, and he didn't believe it. ”

Su You said: "This is a crystalline, and there are many that cannot be crystallized...... Uh, borneol. ”

Shi Fu felt incredible: "This thing can also be made?" How can it be?! ”

Su You said with a smile: "Don't listen to Wei'er's nonsense, of course this thing can't be made for no reason, it is refined from the leaves of the camphor tree on the back mountain." ”

Shi Fu handed over the things to Su You: "Hurry up and put it away, this thing is extremely expensive, in the early years of Taizu, King Wuyue came to the dynasty, Hong Jin was not at ease, and sent his son to pay tribute, including 10,000 catties of frankincense, 3,000 catties of ivory, this borneol...... Guess the tribute? ”

Shi Wei replied: "A few hundred catties! ”

Su You was surprised by the three thousand catties of ivory: "How many elephants do you have to kill......?"

Shi Fu ignored Su You's crooked building and stretched out his slap: "Five catties!" The borneol only paid a total of five catties! Do the math and you'll know how expensive the borneol is! ”

"And the borneol is mostly secreted by gums, or after lightning strikes wild trees, it is produced in the wood, and the texture is like amber, which is not as pure as you make."

Hachiko also came back and put down the hoe: "Hengzhi, the hoe you built is really good...... What is this? ”

Su You asked, "Bagong, what kind of camphor tree is on the back mountain?" ”

Hachiko said: "Dipterocarp, a good material in the camphor tree, it is excellent to make the furniture in the study room without insects." You're going to school next year, and I'll ask someone to chop a few and come back tomorrow to do it first, and I'll use it for Xiaoyou to make a bookcase for the New Year......"

Shi Fu and Su You jumped up in fright: "Don't! ”

Hachiko was taken aback: "What's wrong?" ”

Shi Fu held up the small bowl: "Hachiko, do you know how much this is?" ”

Hachiko said, "It's a thing made by Xiao You again, right?" It looks like snow salt......"

Shi Fu laughed: "It's more expensive than snow salt and gold, let's talk about this bowl according to one or two, and the official price is more than four!" ”

Hachiko was really frightened, and the old man only had land in his mind these days: "This is four acres of good land?!" ”

Shi Fu took another porcelain bottle: "And this, let's count it as a catty, hehehe, half the price of borneol, twenty times." ”

Seeing that Hachiko was a little swaying, Su You hurriedly helped him to the chair: "Hachiko, I said you got rich, right?" ”

Hachiko's eyes were a little straight: "I've made a fortune...... It's a fortune ......"

Shi Fu laughed: "Legend has it that the Su family is the least rich family business in Jiang Qing, hehehe, it turns out that the industry is in the ground, this is a great event, Bagong, if you don't spend a bottle of good wine today, it can't be said!" ”

Hachiko finally came back to his senses: "How can a bottle work!" Today we have a bottle for each of us! ”

Su You is also very happy: "There are still three or four hundred catties of pure copper at home, and when Shitong's calamine arrives, we will melt some to make brass skin, wrap a large retort, and play a distillation tube!" From now on, this will be Hachiko's industry! ”

Hachiko was really happy that night, he drank a little too much, and when he went to bed, he was muttering to himself: "For more than 30 years, Lian'er went to school and hit the box once, and then Xun Laosan, hehehe, and then Shi'er, now it's Xiaoyou's turn, and you don't have to cut down trees...... Hehehe...... Good...... It's getting better and better......"

After serving Hachiko, Su You came out lightly and experimented with lichen-soaked paper with Shi Wei.

The lime water and diluted alum oil used in the experiment, when Shi Wei experimented to the sixth kind, Shi Wei whispered in surprise: "Brother Xiaoyou, the paper has turned red!" ”

Su You's side also experimented with the eighth kind, and there was no reaction, so he heard the words: "Wei'er is still lucky for you!" Try it with lime water! ”

Shi Wei dipped a porcelain stick in lime water and tried it: "Huh? This time it's blue! ”

Su You hugged Shi Wei and began to jump: "Hahahaha!" Good! It's a success, Wei'er, you're really a big lucky star! ”

Shi Wei asked curiously, "Brother Xiaoyou, what is this?" ”

Su You said proudly: "This is a test strip, a test strip that can test the pH!" We've finally found it! Wait for me to see ......"

Open the notebook: "Hmm...... Sample No. 14, found on a large stone at the water's edge of the bitter bamboo forest in Houshan; Discoverer, why did you draw a mouse here?! ”

Shi Wei giggled: "It's a mouse, I still can't write mouse characters, so I drew a mouse instead!" ”

Su You laughed: "Yes, Wei'er is smart, we will find him to take us tomorrow!" ”

When he got up early the next day, Su You grabbed the mice and went up the mountain with Shi Wei to collect lichens.

When the three of them came back from collecting a large basket, Shi Wei saw a canopy boat parked by the glass river below: "Yo, there are guests at home again." ”

When I returned home, I saw that it was Cheng Wenying, and Shi Tong, Su Shi, Bagong and Shi Fu were accompanying him.

Cheng Wenying smiled dryly when he saw Shi Wei and Su You: "With a daughter-in-law, my heart is boundless......"

Su You hurriedly took Shi Wei forward to salute: "Uncle in-law...... Don't make trouble, uncle! I haven't seen my nephew for many days, and it's really ...... Well, I miss it so much. ”

Cheng Wenying said twice: "Did you say the wrong thing?" How many good things have you gotten for Old Man Shi these days since you came back? Over there...... If Old Man Shi hadn't sent someone to tell me overnight, I wouldn't have known that you would have made such a big deal in Kelong. ”
