There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 20

Early this morning, Li Chu received the weather forecast from the customized system.

Today is cloudy and sunny, and the next few days will be sunny.

High temperature is more conducive to the fermentation of soybeans.

Today, the house is going to be built again.

Considering the need to build a factory in the future, this time Li Chu directly ordered a house from the system, which is the kind of construction site box house that can be assembled in later generations.

Because you have to live in it, and you can continue to use it after relocation, so ordinary houses are definitely not enough.

Then let Axiu go to the lying kiln factory, and bought a few large vats back.

Yang Cheng and Aning were in charge of sorting the soybeans and cleaning out some impurities, broken ones, ashes, stones, etc. inside.When Axiu bought the vats back, she poured all the soybeans into several vats to clean them, and then poured water to soak them.

Li Chu is in charge of assembling the prefabricated houses.

During the soaking process, remove any beans that float to the top of the water and discard.

When the beans are soaked until they can be pinched open by hand, pour out the water, change the water and wash again, and then put the bean drums in the steamer for steaming.

In the middle of this process, Li Chu went to the town again.

Because it is winter and the temperature is relatively low, it takes longer than usual for the cement floor to dry, because there are trees blocking it. Although some people are curious, no one steps on it.

Li Chu checked it and found that it has dried a lot. According to this progress, it will be completely dry by the time it gets to the position tonight.

Normal business will resume tomorrow.

After returning to the small courtyard, the steaming and cooking of soybeans was still going on. While Li Chu was doing it, he told Axiu all the points that needed attention in the doorway, and asked Axiu to follow along and learn.

Once cooked, let cool.

Then put it into the dustpan, cover with gauze, and carry out the first fermentation.

Fermentation takes time, so Li Chu bought some things from the custom system to help ferment fermented soybeans and sprinkled them in.

As for the sample house, Li Chu was only able to pretend to be a mess until it was dark.

This day passed like this.

Early in the morning, Li Chu got up very early, ran to the town to see the concrete floor, and it was completely dry.

Axiu also had to go to Xiangcheng County this morning to purchase ingredients.

In the morning, Li Chu assembled the prefabricated house.

Under normal circumstances, it is not necessary to use this to ferment soybeans, but it is winter and it is in the north, so it is impossible to provide soybeans with a temperature for secondary fermentation.

The board room is used for heating.

After assembling the prefabricated house, Li Chu started to light a fire inside to increase the temperature in the room.

As for the soybeans, because Li Chu added some things that are helpful for fermentation, it only took one night, and the first fermentation was completed.

Ask Yang Cheng and Aning to help, put the soybeans fermented for the first time in a large vat, carry them into the prepared greenhouse, sprinkle with salt, pepper and other condiments and stir well, and then put the vats one by one Make a seal.

Li Chu lit a few more fires in the house, because it was in a prefabricated house, and it was relatively spacious, so there was no big safety hazard in lighting fires inside.

Under the burning of the fire, the temperature in the board room continued to rise, reaching more than 40 degrees. At this temperature, the soybeans in the tank can be fermented for the second time.

Li Chu closed the board room.

Next, just wait!
Axiu came back with the ingredients, and after some preparations here, she also pushed the food trolley to the town.

When Li Chu arrived in the town with his trolley, he found many people gathered in the place where he was going to set up a stall.

what happened?

The concrete floor that Li Chu hit was already full of people, and when he approached, the tree trunk he used to stop people had been thrown out, and it was just thrown aside.

Li Chu also saw that many people were stamping and stomping hard on the concrete floor.

"The first brother is here."

Someone in the crowd saw Li Chu and quickly shouted. When the big guys heard this shout, they also turned their heads and looked at Li Chu in surprise.

Axiu was pushing a small trolley from behind, and the crowd of onlookers consciously gave way.

However, everyone's focus was still on Li Chu.

Looking at this group of people, and looking at the tree trunks that were thrown aside to fence the road, Li Chu also more or less guessed some reasons. I still saw the process of Li Chu laying the ground, but found that the ground was as hard as iron, and then exclaimed.

Then, it is estimated that some people in the vicinity were also attracted and discovered such a reason.

Ha ha.

Li Chu's expression was a little displeased. If he knew who broke in secretly, he would definitely not make this person feel better.

Now, the cement is dry, you come in, it's all right.

What if the cement floor isn't dry yet?
It's fine if you step on it, but if you want to do what you're doing now, call a lot of people and step on it alone, then the land you've built will be ruined.

Li Chu silently picked up the tree trunks thrown aside by the crowd. These were borrowed from the Fushui Inn next door, and they will be returned to Boss Liu later.

"Please give way, everyone."

Li Chu's tone was a bit cold. After driving the group of people out, he took out two straight trees from the side of the trolley, and inserted them into the two round holes left in the concrete floor.

These two openings were deliberately left when the cement floor was being drilled, and they are for today's use.

After returning the tree trunk to Boss Liu, he borrowed a ladder from Boss Liu, and told Boss Liu that he wanted to stare at two small things on the wall, which was approved by Boss Liu.

Two large brackets were fixed on the outer wall of the inn with iron nails. These two brackets were the sliding shafts made by Li Chu. In order to make the shafts bear more force, Li Chu added two trees below as supports.

A roll of large square tarpaulin with the shaft body is stuck on the two large brackets.

From the two brackets, two sliding tracks are fixed. The other end of the track is placed on the outermost side and stuck on the two trees between the cement openings.

In this way, a simple pulley canopy is ready.

Next to the outermost tree, there is a pulling and sliding shaft, and a long line extends below. Just keep pulling this line, and the tarpaulin of the awning against the wall will be pulled forward until the land is covered. All covered.

And this pulling and sliding shaft is the kind that the curtains of later generations pull up and down.

Li Chu's street food is most afraid of rainy days. The mud floor is one thing, but the key is the rain. If the guests eat half of their meal and it rains, what will you do?
Therefore, Li Chu installed a canopy for the rain.

After it was done, Li Chu deliberately pulled it for a test.

A huge awning covered the concrete floor overhead.Due to the color of the awning, I chose a light color, so it didn’t block much light.

After pulling the canopy back from the small one, Li Chu turned around, only to find that the people onlookers all looked dumbfounded...

what happened again?
