"My brain really deserves to be kicked by a donkey, sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes, if China has them, it's a fart!"

But Hong Tao still didn't give up, he remembered a starch-making crop again, and then he took two followers to continue to run around in the grain store in Bianliang City, and asked if there were white potatoes, sweet potatoes, and sweet potatoes when he entered the door, and the answers he got were all shaking his head. It wasn't until the name sweet potato was forced out that Hong Tao slapped it heavily on the door of his head.

"Official, the Fanbang post houses in the city are all on the west side of the Kaifeng Mansion." Gao Cuifeng didn't understand what the word sweet potato was, but he had the ability to associate.

"The post house...... I'm not looking for a post house, I'm looking for a big tank, a big water tank! ”

Hong Tao was already desperate and didn't want to spend any more energy on the cost of starch, flour can also be used to refine starch.

I have fallen into the strange circle of habitual thinking again, and I always feel that the cost of refining starch from corn potatoes is low, but if I think about it carefully, now is not the future generation, even if corn and potatoes are available, the estimated price will not be lower than flour.

"What the water tank is, please ask the official to make it clear......"

Not only was Hong Tao a little desperate, but Gao Cuifeng was also about to collapse. The new owner has a good temper and is a fair person, but the problem is that he always blurts out something that no one understands when he has nothing to do.

People who only rely on their skills like wasps to eat don't care, they love to understand it or not, but people like themselves who rely on their brains to eat are too hard, and they can't understand anything, so how can they help, it's not a waste?

"Water tank...... A water tank is a water tank! It's so big, it's empty, and it's filled with water......"

Hong Tao is about to let the wasp give Gao Cuifeng a needle, sweet potato doesn't understand, gelatin doesn't know it's okay, but Nima doesn't even know what the water tank is, are you here to be an uncle!

"The official is talking about a big urn?" The wasp obviously couldn't stand it anymore, not because he thought Gao Cuifeng was stupid, but because he felt that the colt was a bit of a bully.

"Urn...... Could it be that I don't have a water tank in Da Song? Get on the horse and take me to the mouth of the kiln where the big urn is burned, I don't believe there is no water tank! "Hong Tao's stubborn temper has come up again, although his house also uses a big urn to fill water, but why is there no urn without a tank, this is not scientific!

This face twitched, so that Hong Tao didn't recover for several days. Da Song does not have a water tank, only a large urn.

The jar and the urn are actually about the same, the former has a large mouth, and the latter has a small mouth. But it was such a slight difference, but the old craftsman at the kiln mouth shook his head like a rattle, and resolutely refused to burn the big water tank according to the pattern of Hong Tao's comparison. It's not that people haven't tried it, but they can't burn it out at all.

Why? Because a large water tank can be used as a mud tire, but it can't pass the high temperature firing. Due to the tension problem, the large mouth water tank will be deformed and cracked during the firing process, not to mention the possibility of a few percent, it is 100% finished, and not a single one can get out.

"Official, all the flour should be poured into the water tank?" The big urn is a big urn, and when it comes to its practical use, there is not much difference between the water tank and the water urn.

"Whoever dares to lift the word water tank again, I will ask the wasp to give someone a needle!"

Good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles, this sentence is also appropriate in ancient times. The story of the master of the horse being trained by the potters soon spread throughout the house, and even the princess asked about the difference between the jar and the urn.

Now he is directing the servants of the prefecture to extract starch from flour in a large urn of three, and if the trial production is successful, the process can be rearranged and changed to a spacious place for mass production.

In fact, there is nothing to test, this technology is not complicated, it is filtering and precipitation over and over again. The color of the starch depends entirely on the density of the leno used, as well as the degree of dehydration that ends up in drying.

The princess also dared to be angry about her husband's behavior of throwing good flour into the water and constantly stirring and pouring it out. However, Mama Wang was more upright, and she questioned it in person during dinner, but she was beaten down by Hong Tao.

The stomach that was held back during the day because of the big water tank was all passed on to this loyal wet nurse. But the old lady's psychological quality is really good, and she won't bring it back no matter how she counts. In the end, Hong Tao didn't have the face to say anything more, so he simply turned off the lights and went to sleep, and by the way, he made up for the princess! It's not fun to bully others, but it's my duty to bully princesses!

"The lady doesn't have to worry, she has a reason for her husband. It won't be long before the Pony Mansion will make money every day, and when the time comes, a swimming pool will be built in the back garden for the husband to teach the lady swimming skills. I also want to make a kind of clothes for my mother, called a swimsuit, which can make women all over the world look at it, envy it, and rush to it......"

It's not enough to criticize Mama Wang's long hair and short knowledge, according to the princess's character, even if she doesn't object on the surface, she has to mumble in her heart.

So Hong Tao has to launch a gentle offensive and paint an incomparably beautiful future, as for whether he will get a swimsuit, that's not nonsense. If you really dare to get it out and let the princess wear it, the next day the head will have to be hung outside the Xuande Building. The officials and historians also had to arrange various story plots to prove that the horse was a great prostitute who was immoral, and it was light to kill him a thousand times.

"Lang Jun, the concubine does not seek glory and wealth, but only wants to be able to live a stable life, teach her husband and children, and leave heirs for the Wang family."

The princess didn't understand words like pool and swimsuit, but she still understood the matter of swimming, and her little face suddenly turned pale with fright. As for saying that there is no money, clothes or clothes, she really doesn't care, the whole world is her brother's, as long as she is happy to have no clothes, talking about money is even lower.

"Don't worry, didn't my husband say it, if you want to have a child, you must first train your body. It's not enough to just shoot the eagle, you have to cooperate with swimming. Don't be afraid, if you have a husband and me, when the time comes, tie a rope around your waist and me, as long as the husband is floating, the lady will not be able to sink. ”

met such a princess who had no desires and only wanted to live a small life at home, Hong Tao could be regarded as convinced. If this woman is too honest, she will lose her charm. If you don't say that men are cheap bones, it's too prodigal for fear that you can't hold it, it's too stable and not too enjoyable, and it's hard to kill women.

"Just Yi Lang Jun......" Although she trembled at the thought of going into the water, the princess gritted her teeth and prepared to get out. Now as long as the colt says that jumping off the cliff can be happy, she is willing to jump, but the premise is that the two of them jump together.

After appeasing the princess, Hong Tao is not afraid of anyone in the Horse Mansion, he is the sky. From the second day, the back garden of the flowery Fumafu has become a small business workshop in the township, with a stall in the east washing starch, a stall in the west carving copper molds, a stall in the south making wood, and a stall in the north mixing gelatin......

Except for the craftsman and a few intimate apprentices found by Zhu Bajin, no one was allowed to enter. Mama Wang, don't look at her mouth, but as long as it is beneficial to the Horse Mansion, she guarantees the full support of the first one. At this time, she sat outside the door as a roadblock, no one could enter, and anything could only be reported by her or Lian'er.

"Remember! Two taels of pine tobacco, five coins of gelatin, and three coins of sesame oil, which is the No. 1 can...... Two taels of pine smoke, four coins of gelatin, and four coins of sesame oil are the No. 2 cans ......"

Hong Tao and the princess alone in the Feiyu Hall for the final raw material blending work, the specific Southern Song Dynasty craftsmen used what proportion to make ink, Hong Tao only knows a rough idea, the specific has long been forgotten.

Moreover, the properties of whale gum and mineral oil are not the same as those of pigskin gum and flax oil currently used, even if you know the exact ratio, it is in vain, and you have to test little by little.

Originally, Hong Tao wanted to hand over this job to someone else, but his slimy and black hands were very dirty. But the princess said that this is a stunt of the Horse Mansion, and it should not be easily shown, which will make outsiders look down on it.

I'm afraid this is not her original intention, and it is the instigation of Mama Wang. But if you think about it, you haven't made a fortune yet, so it's better to be careful in the early days of your business.

After every ten cans of ink, he and the princess would use a few pencil words to try the effect on the paper that had been brushed and dried. Record the number satisfactorily, and find the ratio, and then refine it one by one from these ratios, and continue the experiment......

This thing is a very delicate and test patience work, don't look at the preparation of two taels of ink a little less material is not conspicuous, but if a large number of preparation will not be, it must be as accurate as it is.

At this time, Hong Tao discovered another advantage of the princess, she was so patient. The already delicate pine smoke was constantly crushed by her with a copper pestle that pounded the medicine, and the same action was repeated for several days, without the slightest boredom.

Even with Hong Tao, he was embarrassed to shout, and followed the princess to sit in the Feiyu Hall for four days, until he found two more satisfactory matches.

But the princess said that black alone is not enough, and that the leaflets of the shops selling preserved fruits on the street are all in two colors, and that the printing workshop of the Horse House must not be weaker than others.

So she pulled Lian'er and went into the Flying Feather Hall and began to tinker with red, purple, and green ink. Whether it can be successfully developed or not Hong Tao really doesn't care, it's okay, let the two of them play slowly, they have more important things.
