Chapter Ninety-Four: On the River

Now that the title deed is in hand, many things have gone through the fermentation period, and they have been successfully launched.

"After the floating water flows into the canal, the water power is weakened, and it can be used greatly."

Of course, water power is not to say that it is weak, if a hydroelectric power station can be built, Zhang De wishes that the more powerful the water power is, the better. After mentioning a few big works from Luoyang, the newly commissioned machine began to run.

This is a hydraulic hay grinder, and the old straw straw is stuffed into the feed inlet and quickly piled up from the bottom discharge chute. Then the workers hurriedly filled the crushed grass into crumbs, filled it in a fence made of bamboo strips, and hoarded it into stacks.

The crusher uses a hob, and the transmission device Zhang De has prepared two sets of schemes, one is a pulley, which is easy to maintain, but even if the belt is nitrated, it is not very durable. In fact, Zhang De experimented with a hybrid material, after weaving hemp material, soaked it in fig tree gum to improve the surface toughness, so that although it is not as good as rubber, it can be formed in one piece.

Unfortunately, the effect is very poor, after a long period of turning, the fig gum will wear out quickly, and it is not heat-resistant, and it is easy to harden and become brittle.

Zhang De couldn't find the right additives, so he had to give up and settle for the next best thing, choosing multi-layer cowhide sewing. The driven pulleys and driving wheels of the pulleys are all wooden structures, and only the rotating shaft is cast and formed by pig iron, and then matched with the ferrule that is also cast iron.

This kind of consumption can still be withheld, and the damage to the body of the wooden machine is small.

There is also a transmission method, which is to directly use the rotating shaft spliced by multi-layer wood, which is directly driven by the waterwheel, which has the advantage of being simple and convenient to build. The bad parts are also intuitive, fragile and not durable.

Anyway, though. It's just hay crushing, and the machine doesn't need to be elaborate.

"The baffle in front of the waterwheel. I think it's better to use cement to pour, it's a pity to use slate. Such a stone slab, digging a piece of suitable use, requires a lot of labor. ”

The baffle is designed on the dam body of the embankment and the diversion canal, which directly blocks the flow of water when the production area does not need to rotate and the production area is resting. Because there were stone slabs left over from the construction of the Iron Staff Temple, the craftsmen made holes in it and passed through the pulley block. It is made of gravity, when needed, directly install the pulley group, then lift the slate, and then remove the iron bolts on the sliding card slots on both sides of the slate, and then the slate can be put down.

"Cement is expensive."

Xue Dading was a little reluctant, for him, what was the slate afraid of? Dignified Cangzhou, although a little poor. Can't you even afford a slate? Besides, aren't these stone slabs all dug by the people themselves in the mountains? Although the distance is a little long, the transportation is also very laborious. But isn't that how Minfu uses it?

“……”

Lao Zhang thought about it for a while, and originally wanted to say something people-oriented, but suddenly found that it didn't seem to be interesting. It's the same as not saying it.

Eleven county magistrates from the twelve counties of Cangzhou came, but the county magistrates of Dongguang County did not come. Of course, he didn't come because he despised the assassination. underestimated the Liangfeng County man, but he was ordered to be in danger. Under the repeated instructions of Lord Thorn Shi, he stayed in Dongguang County to keep an eye on the new irrigation canal between the Yongji Canal and the floating water.

Don't dare to say anything else, this person in the king can have a relationship with Zhongshuling, no matter whether Wen Yanbo knows this person in the king, but at least the people in Wenjiabao are full of praise for the king.

Therefore, as long as Wang Zhong can tell the people of the Wen family about the affairs of Cangzhou, when the time comes, Xue Tingshi will greet Zhongshuling, the kind full of sincerity, and he is afraid that no one will help him say good things in the evaluation?

The leaders accompanied Hebei Yuqilin to inspect the work together, Cangzhou's deficit, everyone has a share, Lao Zhang is now the God of Wealth. Although there are constantly grain ships coming over the Grand Canal and the Bohai Sea, everyone is worried before the account is completely settled.

"This hay can be used to feed cattle, sheep, guinea chickens?"

There was a county magistrate who grabbed a handful of dry new hay and looked puzzled.

"If it's a cow or a sheep, it doesn't matter. If it is a guinea chicken, it still needs to be stirred and mixed with soybean meal before it can become feed. ”

Lao Zhang is actually quite confused, and he doesn't know how to do it, so he came to engage in poultry and livestock breeding. The engineering dog who is not doing his job feels that he is moving at high speed towards the goal, but he always misses.

"Mixed with coarse chaff, the dolphin eats very refreshingly."

There was a Hanmen county order, with a happy face, grabbed a handful of forage, and then said excitedly, "I heard that there is a new dolphin species in Guannei Dao, and the meat is not fishy, and it is fat and fat in a year, and the meat is one hundred and twenty catties." I went to eat once, and the new dolphin in the pass killed one, which can have ten catties of big bones, boil soup and cook noodles, and can fill the stomach, which is the rich household in the west of Chang'an City, and there are many eaters. ”

"The dolphin is the meat of the poor, and it is extremely fishy, how can it be eaten?"

"Well, you don't know. The new dolphin in this pass is a hybrid of a mountain boar, and Xiao Yu goes to its ****. When you grow up, how can you be in estrus? Only by eating enough meat is to get 120 pounds of meat. I'm ashamed to say that I am shy at the end of the year, and someone from my mother's family has come, although the mutton is good, what can I do. This pork meat is very cheap, so I will ...... Hehe. ”

The county commander smiled embarrassedly, and then said, "I must have said it, but I didn't expect this pork meat to be extremely delicious, it is the back meat, and it is even more delicious." Last month, I got a cooking method, and the cook didn't know where to inquire, so I used some of the triumphant sugar left by the lady, and put cinnamon star anise dogwood, tsk...... It's delicious. ”

"Huh?! What Brother Chen said, could it be the 'Zheng's roast meat' from Luoyang? ”

"It turned out to be from Luoyang?"

"I heard that the Zheng Gong clan created it, and the taste was really appetizing. It's just that this dish costs a lot of money. It must be cooked in an iron pot, and it also needs Triumph white sugar and even prince sugar, I heard that it is cooked with prince sugar, and it tastes very good, but I have never tried it. ”

"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, it's better to eat in Rao'an County today, all your colleagues have made up for some, and you can always make up for it." In the final analysis, it's just poor pork, and it's definitely more expensive than beef. ”

Lao Zhang watched this group of county masters exchange their experience of eating braised pork there, the whole person was messy, damn we are inspecting the feed production plant, okay? Do you have any dedication?

So Zhang De's eyes looked at Xue Tingshi, but Xue Dading had a smug face: "Where do you know that this pork meat and even the method of cooking pork come from the lower ears of Caozhimen." If you want to have a great appetite, why do you need to be so troublesome, wouldn't it be nice to find the master of this wonderful method?! ”

Come on, you mother, quick!

Lao Zhang's whole person is not good, it is rare for Lao Tzu to work so seriously, but the leaders said that they want to eat and drink? This is also too much in line with the glorious tradition of the Chinese people. (To be continued.) )
