Chapter 130

Fan Cong looked horrified, looking at the cup in front of him,

"So ice, so cool, so comfortable!"

"what is this?"

Lin Guiyao smiled slightly: "Ice wheat beer!"

With wheat and yeast, it would be a shame for him to read so many novels without brewing wine.Although he only knew the outline of the specific steps, but he couldn't help but someone knew!

Ever since he drank that cup of sour wheat wine in the metropolis, he has been obsessed with it. Until the last trip to Dadu Harvest Sacrifice, he finally got a winemaker back.

After finally greening him, Lin Guiyao reminded him of some modern theories he knew, such as fermentation, purification, blending, etc.
In the end, he was allowed to make such a golden beer, which is refreshing in the throat and has a long-lasting fragrance, not to mention the idea of ​​adding ice to it, making this beer officially the best-selling drink in the village!
Speaking of ice, I have to mention the brick-burner who discovered kaolin. After the salary improved, he took in several apprentices. Naturally, he didn't need to do the brick-making himself, so he wandered around every day. It really made him find a new mine in the back mountain:

Saltpeter!

What is saltpeter?That's something that can produce gunpowder!
At first, the brick maker only reported this as a raw material for burning glass, but after Lin Guiyao looked at it, he found that the output of this saltpeter was very abundant. Before the gunpowder industry was established, he opened up an idea and directly Use saltpeter to make ice!
The method is very simple, just dissolve it in an iron bucket placed in a water tank.

Taking advantage of the fact that saltpeter needs to absorb a lot of heat when dissolved in water, as many ice cubes as needed,

What is even more surprising is that the associated minerals of saltpeter are gypsum and halite!
He has been looking for the former for a long time, and needless to say, the latter is the kind of salt that can be eaten: sodium chloride!

This solved several big problems for him at once!Even if the city is blocked, they don't have to worry about running out of salt!
And ice cubes are just one of the small by-products.

"Ice wheat beer?" Fan Cong frowned, took another two gulps, hiccupped, his face turned a little red for the first time.

"Brother Lin, there are indeed good things coming out one after another, but I don't know what your purpose is when you take out this thing? Did the new business that I mentioned just now mean this?"

Lin Guiyao clapped his hands, "Brother Fan, don't worry, you can try this again."

Lifting a lid, a burst of rich aroma rushed over, Lin Guiyao handed over a pair of chopsticks, and introduced each dish to Fan Cong:

"This is bamboo rat in a dry pot, this is rat liver with green pepper, this is rat brains with garlic paste, this is... don't worry, it's not bamboo rat anymore, it's fresh mushroom soup, and this, colorful corn rice and roasted sweet potatoes!"

"This……"

Fan Cong took the chopsticks and swallowed a big mouthful of saliva, feeling a little at a loss.

"Anyway, it's lunch time. I prefer to talk about things while eating. Xiao Xiao, go and get two jugs of iced wheat beer. I'm going to have a good drink with Big Brother Fan today!"

"No, don't worry!" Fan Cong stood up suddenly, glanced at the dishes on the table with difficulty, but did not put down the chopsticks in his hand.

"Drinking is a mistake, I still want to talk about it first, and then get drunk with Lord Lin, wouldn't it be more beautiful?"

"Since Brother Fan insists on this, okay!" Lin Guiyao put down his chopsticks and drank a cup of wheat tea by himself.
Beer is for drinking with friends, and tea is better for drinking alone.

"Brother Lin's new business, could it be these delicacies? Please forgive me, although these business opportunities are indeed good, but do they conflict with the business of Kagura Street? Brother Lin is so willing to give up love?"

Lin Guiyao glanced at him: "Master Fan, you guessed wrong. It's just a meal. This is the business we want to discuss!"

Nodding to Xiao Hong, the last layer of the food box was opened. It was the surprise he had prepared for Xiao Hong when he was taking a shower.

The last layer of the food box was a delicate jar. When the jar was opened, there was a light blue liquid inside.

"What is this?" Fan Cong, who was numb to Lin Guiyao's endless new gadgets, asked directly, he was afraid that this was some new delicacy.

"Oil!"

Lin Guiyao picked up the jar and poured some on the coffee table. It was as thick as honey.

"Cocklebur... oil."

"Cocklebur oil?"

"Yes, cocklebur oil. This is our newly developed vegetable oil. It can be used for cooking, maintaining weapons, and even as lubricating oil. Of course, it is the lubricating oil for lubricating machines."

When Fan Cong heard the words, he squatted down with a solemn expression, tapped some green oil with his fingers, and rubbed it. It was greasy and silky, and it was indeed good oil.

The news that the Metropolis needs oil is not a secret. A while ago, a lot of oil-producing seeds were collected with a lot of money.

But after planting, either the oil production is pitiful, or the survival rate is very low. Finally, I received a pack of good pine nuts, but the production period is horribly long, and I don't know when it will bear fruit.

Now this little City of Hope actually picks this crucial point and comes up with this strange green oil, wanting to do business with them?

"Well, we can talk about it. I don't know what price Brother Lin is offering?" Fan Cong looked up at Lin Guiyao, pretending not to care.

"It's very simple, people! I need a lot of technical talents who can make weapons, machines, and basic industries."

"Impossible!" Fan Cong interrupted Lin Guiyao suddenly, "There is no need to think about these things, the Metropolis will never agree!"

"You can only use oil for cooking. It's worthless at all. At most... At most, I'll give you some weapons."

Lin Guiyao sat back on the sofa, with a half-smile on his face: "Lord Fan is joking with me again. I just said that this oil can be used for cooking, but it can also be used as maintenance oil for weapons and lubricating oil for machines. Master Fan, don't tell me these two points are useless."

The metropolis spends a lot of money on oil, not for the well-being of the citizens, but because they can produce a large number of machines and firearms, but the production of maintenance oil cannot keep up, resulting in an alarming rate of wear and tear on firearms and machines.

Among other things, due to the high-speed operation of the machine gears, 70.00% of the failures are actually caused by insufficient lubrication, which has become the most troublesome problem in Metropolis.

No matter how big the family business is, it can't stand such a toss!

Fan Cong was a little slumped, he didn't expect that the person whose weakness was being pinched was him.

"This... I really can't make the decision. Please allow me to go back to the metropolis and report it."

Lin Guiyao waved his hand, "Naturally, but I won't make it too difficult for you, and we can discuss this matter."

"Oh? I heard that Lord Lin Qixiang." Fan Cong could see that this handsome little lord was not as simple as he appeared on the surface.
What are the five people in the Approval Bureau doing?It's nothing to worry about giving this guy a premature death?

I bother!
