I learned skills in a different world

Chapter 61 Learning to make tools on the ancient border (7)

Normally, he wouldn't explain so much and would just give orders directly, but now he somehow didn't want Shen Fangshi to misunderstand him.

Shen Fangshi understood what he meant. Not long after he came to this world, he had been busy studying and adapting to his body, and he didn't know much about the national situation in this world.

However, almost all feudal dynasties are roughly the same. The general ranking of class status is scholars, farmers, industry and merchants.

The status of a carpenter is not very high. If someone knows that he can create tools that transcend the times, he may not be able to escape the fate of being imprisoned and only serving the rich and powerful.

This is not what he wants to see. Although he is not afraid, it will inevitably cause trouble. This will not be conducive to his completion of the task. Therefore, until he becomes stronger and gains more popularity, it is best not to be too exposed in front of others.

So Shen Fangshi said: "But most of the army knows about my existence, so I can't hide it for long."

Chu Kui was a little surprised. Although he knew that Shen Fangshi was very powerful, he was only fourteen years old after all, but he could understand his situation so quickly and was not greedy for fame and fortune at all.

"You don't have to worry about the army. The army has strict discipline. I have already banned them. Besides, most people only know that a craftsman named Lin made the crossbow. They don't know that this man is a young man named Lin Gu. "

Shen Fangshi nodded, "From now on, just blur my existence and just use Mr. Lin as my proxy." In this way, he can also receive recognition points.

Chu Kui didn't say much, he just said "hmm".

He thinks this is very good. Establishing the image of an expert hermit can not only disturb the court's sight and make it difficult for the court to find people easily, but also provide an explanation for the origin of more new things that will appear in the future. It is always better than directly Denial is good.

Yes, Chu Kui firmly believed that Shen Fangshi could create more artifacts in the future. Shen Fangshi probably didn't even have such confidence.

"When the weather gets warmer next spring, potato seedlings will grow and sweet potatoes can be planted."

Shen Fangshi and Chu Kui were walking along the river bank together. There was a long river in Yuchengguan, and now it was frozen. Looking from a distance, there was no other color except the withered yellow vegetation and this white silver belt.

The cold wind was howling, and Shen Fangshi didn't have any extra spiritual energy to keep out the cold. He shrank, but his body felt warm in the next moment. Shen Fangshi turned his head and saw that it was a big cloak.

This cloak was made of wolf skins that Chu Kui had hunted by himself. It was very warm. Chu Kui wrapped Shen Fangshi tightly in the cloak and whispered, "You are too thin."

Before Shen Fangshi could react, the cloak was very warm and still had Chu Kui's body temperature attached to it. He quickly prepared to take it off and said, "General Chu... Qi Ming, I'm fine. You'd better put the cloak on yourself to avoid catching a cold."

Chu Kui held his hand and said, "No, I'm not cold. You can wear it."

There was no room for rejection in his tone, but Shen Fangshi couldn't resist him, so he had to compromise, silently speeding up his pace, wanting to go back faster so as to avoid the cold wind.

Chu Kui followed Shen Fangshi calmly, while Shen Fangshi continued to think about the matter of grain farming.

Shen Fangshi only knew that sweet potatoes could be stored in cellars, but he didn't know the details of digging a cellar.

It was a pity that the books in his space world did not contain detailed information about the cellar, so Shen Fangshi bought a "Grain Storage Encyclopedia" from the system mall before.

It is written in detail that sweet potatoes can be stored indoors or in a cellar. They must be placed outside in the sun for a few days to keep them dry, and then placed in a cool and ventilated place.

For indoor storage, sweet potatoes are placed indoors with good heat preservation, kept at 12 to 14 degrees, and ventilated frequently. It can also be stored in a wooden box in a warm and dry place indoors, keeping it at no lower than ten degrees and no higher than fifteen degrees.

As for the cellar storage method, the cellar is also very important. The new sweet potato cellar should be built on high and dry terrain, low groundwater level, and soil that is not easy to collapse. At the same time, the temperature must be controlled during the entire storage period to prevent the sweet potatoes from being damaged by freezing or sprouting due to high temperatures. The sweet potato storage cellar should have ventilated vents, because sweet potatoes also need to breathe during storage. If there is no ventilation for a long time, it will cause diseases in the sweet potato pieces and even rot in the cellar.

Potatoes should be stored in a dry, ventilated, and cool environment, and it is best to spread them flat on dry grass, sacks, and other dry items. Potatoes can be stored in bags in a cellar for at least three months as long as the temperature and humidity are moderate. 1

If there is no cellar, burying it in dry sand will also work.

However, most of the sweet potatoes dug out before were used as food, and only a small part of the seeds were left. Except for the edible parts, all the potatoes have been planted in the fields. There are not many sweet potatoes that need to be stored. Plus there was too little time, so no cellar was dug.

However, you will need to dig more cellars next year to store the large amount of sweet potatoes that will be harvested later.

But according to his observation, Yucheng Pass is located in the north, the weather is cold, and the frozen soil does not melt in spring, making it extremely difficult to cultivate land, let alone dig a cellar.

Although iron farm tools are now in use, iron tools are expensive and few people can afford them. Most of them still use wooden and stone farm tools. Moreover, many people now use human power, which is like animal power. Most people cannot afford it. The family status of cattle is even higher than that of people.

Therefore, it is not only difficult to dig a cellar, but also to cultivate wasteland in the coming spring.

"If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools." Therefore, Shen Fangshi planned to make some useful agricultural tools. In addition, there was little rain and dryness in Yuchengguan, making it difficult to irrigate with water. Some irrigation tools were also problems that needed to be solved urgently.

Shen Fangshi told Chu Kui about these things. Chu Kui only said that he could go to the military workshop and ask the craftsmen to help. As for the manpower to dig cellars and open up wasteland, he could just leave it to him.

Hearing what Chu Kui said, Shen Fangshi felt relieved. It was okay to let him learn technology and do research, but it gave Shen Fangshi a headache if he was asked to manage things. He never liked arranging and managing these chores.

So Shen Fangshi handed these things over to Chu Kui with confidence and was ready to start the next step of his study plan.

He had already fully recognized the woodworking materials, completed the main task 3, and obtained five bottles of adhesive glue (non-polluting, non-irritating, strong adhesion, cannot be removed without solvent).

A bottle of this kind of adhesive glue is about 150 ml. Shen Fang also tried to use the adhesive glue to make a crossbow, and found that it was indeed much stronger than tying it with a rope or making his own glue. There were no gaps in the adhesion, and it was like one piece, even better than one piece. Even stronger.

When taking back the adhesive glue, Shen Fangshi was careful. This kind of glue is not only precious but also dangerous. If it accidentally sticks to something it shouldn't stick to, it will be troublesome. Then, you will have to spend energy to buy a solvent.
