Farming and teaching across different worlds

, bring the altar of good wine I brought, I want to have a few drinks with Brother Shen. "

Youxi, who was behind him, cleverly went to get the wine, and found some ready-made spicy dried fish, crisp fish bones, grilled seaweed, kelp knots and other appetizers from the things he brought, and put them on the table one by one.

Ji Xiuran wanted to reach out to take the wine jar, but Shi Jingchen at the side stretched out his hand to intercept it, opened the jar and filled it up for himself and Shen Chong, but Ji Xiuran didn't pour it.

Ji Xiuran glared at Shi Jingchen in dissatisfaction, Shi Jingchen raised his hand and patted the back of his hand to comfort him, and Ji Xiuran calmed down.

Seeing this situation, Shen Chong jokingly said, "Brother Shi is too strict, you can't give in, Brother Ji."

Hearing what he said, Ji Xiuran smiled indifferently, and replied: "Third Brother is worried about my health, although it's a pity that I can't accompany Big Brother Shen to get drunk, but this wine is good wine, Third Brother will accompany Big Brother Shen It's the same with drinking, brother Shen must enjoy himself to the fullest, come and offer tea instead of wine to toast brother first."

Although Shen Chong initially felt that Ji Xiuran was a frail scholar who didn't know how to get along with him, but after talking with him, he knew that he had a straightforward personality, and he seemed to be quite pleasing to the eye, so he also had a heart-to-heart relationship. The toast of tea instead of wine was also accepted. He raised his glass, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, and shouted "cool" after drinking.

At this time, Shi Jingchen also raised his wine glass to toast Shen Chong. Shen Chong is a good wine, such good wine is always welcome, so he drank another glass.

Seeing how happy he was drinking, Ji Xiuran also smiled lightly, and said, "Brother Shen also has a taste of these snacks, they taste quite good with wine."

Shen Chong ate a few mouthfuls to save face, the taste was really good, and the wine was even more special.

After drinking for three rounds, Ji Xiuran said: "The younger brother came here this time to discuss something, and I would like to ask the elder brother to make it easier for me."

Shen Chong was already drunk at this time, and when he heard that Ji Xiuran had something to ask for, he patted his chest and assured him: "Brother Ji, just ask, as long as Big Brother can do it, he will naturally go all out."

After hearing his assurance, Ji Xiuran smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother, you can do it."

Shen Chong listened, nodded and said: "Okay, brother agrees."

When Ji Xiuran heard what he said, he immediately laughed out loud. He didn't expect Shen Chong to be so easy to fool after drinking too much, and he gave a verbal guarantee before he said what it was.

Seeing that he was overjoyed with joy, Shi Jingchen straightened his body with his hands, glanced at him quietly, and signaled him to restrain himself. Although Shen Chong was a little confused at this time and looked easy to fool, he had been in a high position after all. Commander, it's hard to clean up when you're annoyed.

Ji Xiuran received Shi Jingchen's signal, gave him a reassuring look, then looked at Shen Chong, and continued: "There is a beach ten miles away from here, my brother wants to do something there, please take care of it from Jinghaiwei, Just don't let Xiaoxiao get close, this matter should be easy for the elder brother." After speaking, he looked at Shi Jingchen.

Shi Jingchen nodded, agreeing with what he said. Shen Chong listened to Ji Xiuran's request and felt that there was no difficulty, so he expressed his attitude: "No problem, Brother Ji, don't worry, when the time comes, Big Brother must watch carefully, not even a fly can fly away. past."

After hearing this, Ji Xiuran smiled cheerfully, picked up the teacup and signaled to Shen Chong: "With the words of big brother, I feel relieved, and I will toast to big brother again."

Shen Chong also happily raised his glass and drank it all down. When he woke up the next day, he regretted that his intestines were green. What a great opportunity to fulfill his promise or request. It's like now, Sell ​​yourself and count the money for them, these scholars have a lot of twists and turns in their stomachs.

After Shen Chong figured it out, he saw that Shi Jingchen's nose was not his nose, his eyes were not his eyes, and you two were kissing each other, fooling your elder brother together, wouldn't your conscience ache?

But after Ji Xiuran's salt farm had production, and had contracted tens of thousands of people to use salt in Jinghaiwei, Shen Chong smiled again.

When Ji Xiuran was looking for seaweed farming before, he asked people to inspect the entire coast of Yunzhou, and made detailed charts of the coastal areas within [-] miles of the sea. Now when he chooses to dry the salt field, it is convenient Very well, as long as you mark the places that meet the conditions on the chart.

He was optimistic about several suitable locations, and took the time to do a field survey. In the end, the place near the Jinghaiwei camp was the most suitable.

This beach is more than ten miles away from the camp, behind a reef, the terrain is flat, the sunshine is abundant, there is a flat sandy beach of about [-] mu, and beyond that is a cliff, which is the boundary of Lingzhou, and the cliff just blocks the way .

At the junction of the two prefectures, because of the Jinghaiwei stationed there, there are no villages in a radius of a hundred miles, and there are few people.Coupled with Jinghaiwei guards, the safety and privacy of the saltworks can be guaranteed.

After choosing a place, Ji Xiuran began to implement the plan, and Ji Xiuran called Gensheng to explain it, and then sent people out.

At the same time, Liu Qiang and others were sent to help Gensheng, and construction materials such as cement, lime, and stone were also transported to him.

The reason why Ji Xiuran is so sure about building the salt farm is not only the salt drying technology he has mastered, but also because of the new building materials such as cement and lime.

If there is no cement, even if he wants to build a salt farm, it will inevitably cost his life and money.

After all, relying on local building materials, it is difficult to meet the requirements of drying salt.

Gensheng had never been exposed to these new building materials, so he had to learn how to use them from Liu Qiang and others.He found two brothers from people he knew before, Damu and Ermu. They are strong in body, but they are honest and willing to work, and one thing is that they are reticent.It was in line with Ji Xiuran's requirements.

Because the construction of the salt field had to be kept secret, Ji Xiuran did not go outside to hire someone to build it. Fortunately, only one mu of salt field was needed to be built in the early stage, and the construction of a salt pond on this mu of land could be completed by just a few of them.

After the completion of the construction of the salt pond, ten days later, after drying in the sun, it became a complete piece, as hard as a stone. After Gensheng saw this effect, he opened his mouth wide in surprise, touched the smooth inner wall of the pond in disbelief, and looked up. Xiang Liu Qiang: "After this is done, it's really airtight and hard as a rock. Mr. Ji is really powerful, and he can even take out this kind of fetish."

After hearing this, Liu Qiang sneered: "What is this? Mr. Ji thought of this thing, and you can get as much as you want. From now on, you will be with you. You will see good things from time to time, so don't make such a fuss every time. It’s not enough to embarrass adults.”

After hearing this, Gensheng quickly closed his mouth, regained his calm expression, and nodded calmly. He must hold on and not embarrass the adults.

After the completion of the work, Gensheng took Damu and Ermu together and threw them into the sun-dried salt.

When the tide is high, take in the tide, and then wait for brine making, crystallization, and stacking. It is very simple to say, but in terms of timing, they need to experiment bit by bit.

In addition, Gensheng also recorded the daily situation and summed up a complete set of salt drying methods.But he only studied for a month in a surprise attack, which was not enough.

Fortunately, Ji Xiuran had planned for a long time. After Liu Qiang stared at it for a while and found that Gensheng and the others could be completely controlled, he left. Ji Xiuran sent another student from Qingshan Academy over to do daily management and contact. On the one hand, he continued to teach Gensheng, and also taught Damu and Ermu by the way.

This is still the progress of the seaweed cultivation experiment, and the manpower was finally drawn out.

Chapter 120

After the matter was settled, Ji Xiuran was free, and this time he had time to take Jiabao to the beach to play.

Yunzhou Prefecture is near the sea, and the beach is [-] miles away from the city. Both Ji Xiuran and Shi Jingchen were busy with their business before, and they didn't have time to bring Jiabao to the beach, so they came here. Jiabao hasn't seen each other for more than three months. across the sea.

Thinking about it, I really owe him.

Ji Xiuran took advantage of Shi Jingchen's time off and wanted to take a day trip with his family to the beach.

From this time to September, it happens to be the most suitable time to go to sea. The sky is clear and the temperature is suitable. Even if you go into the water, it is not too cold or too hot.

Shi Jingchen also wanted to teach Jiabao how to swim, so he agreed.

After hearing the news, Jia Bao jumped and cheered happily. Although he was sensible and didn't bother his parents' work, he was still a little unhappy after being locked up at home for a long time.But usually in order not to worry my parents, I didn't show it.

Seeing him so happy, Ji Xiuran also knew that he was being restrained, so he no longer pursued his little gaffes.

When the whole family came to the beach, Shi Jingchen took the life buoy for Jiabao, put it on Jiabao, and led him into the sea.

Come to the place where the sea water overflows the waist, stop, hold Jiabao’s hands, teach him to kick the water with his feet, and swim forward slowly, and then tell Jiabao to feel the waves, use the waves to balance his body, and slowly swim forward. swim.

At the beginning, Jia Bao couldn't grasp the skills, but under Shi Jingchen's careful guidance, he found some feeling after a while, and gradually made progress, he was able to swim a small distance forward by kicking his calf.

Seeing the effect, Shi Jingchen certainly did not hesitate to praise: "Jiabao did a good job, keep working hard."

Hearing his father's praise, Jiabao pursed his lips and suppressed the upturned corners of his mouth, but his eyes became brighter and his movements became more and more standard, trying to do better.

Ji Xiuran stood on the shore, looking at the father and son in the water, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Although he couldn't go into the water, he felt a little regretful, but considering his disrespect and his physical condition, Shi Jingchen disagreed with the reason why he went into the water, so he could only let it go.

Although the current sea water seems to be warm
