The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 22 Making Strains
The Jia Mansion and the Feng Mansion are family friends, and the two families often communicate with each other.Feng Ziying apologized again, and invited Jia Min to have a drink together.Jia Min had already eaten, so he declined.Unexpectedly, Feng Ziying repeatedly invited, and Jia Min couldn't refuse any more, so he agreed.

It turned out that Feng Ziying accompanied her mother and other family members to the Qixia Mountain Temple to fulfill her vows. She stayed overnight today and went up the mountain tomorrow.

Feng Ziying introduced Jia Min to her mother, and the wife was very polite.It turned out that he also heard about Jia Min.

Feng Ziying and Jia Min opened a table alone, and they were not polite, so they started drinking.In the middle, the housekeeper Feng Fu and the boy were called again, and they kowtowed to Jia Min to make amends.

Feng Ziying has a good drinker and is also very talkative. It can be seen that Feng Ziying is a regular in the social circle.During the meeting, he kept introducing some anecdotes about the imperial capital to Jia Min, most of which revolved around some personnel affairs in the noble circles such as the Four Kings and Eight Dukes.

Feng Ziying's news was very well-informed, and she even knew that Jia Min had taken Ping'er with her when she arrived at Yeduju.

However, Jia Min didn't find it strange when he thought about the fact that the circle of four kings and eight princes was such a big one.

There were indeed not enough rooms, so Feng Ziying shared a room with Jia Min.When we met for the first time, Jia Min didn't have much in common with him, and he wasn't very interested in the affairs of his circle. After drinking, it was already [-]:[-] pm, and we went back to the room to chat for a few words, and then fell asleep. speechless.

Early the next morning, we had dinner together, and then we went up the mountain together.After more than half an hour, we parted at the Qixia Mountain Temple. Feng Ziying said that he would visit Yeduju in the future. Jia Min didn't take it seriously.

Looking at the back of Jia Min disappearing into the forest path, Feng Ziying was still puzzled for a long time.

"This Jia Si'er doesn't even bring a follower when he goes out, so why come to this mountain by himself? After all, he is a maverick, and he really has some skills. It's just that you are like this. It may not be easy for you to gain a foothold in Jia's mansion. .”

In the mountains in summer, even under the shade of trees, it is relatively hot.Birds, beasts, insects and snakes are also likely to be encountered.However, these are nothing to a special warfare elite who has experienced wild survival training.On the contrary, it gave Jia Min a sense of intimacy.

Of course, when he thought of the comrades who trained together and fought side by side in the past, he still felt a little inexplicably sad.

Ganoderma lucidum is generally parasitic on the roots of trees, but basically on broad-leaved trees.It cannot survive on conifers.The vast majority of edible and medicinal fungi grow in broad-leaved forests.During artificial cultivation, the sawdust used is also from broad-leaved trees.

After walking for nearly an hour, I finally found Ganoderma lucidum.Ganoderma lucidum is generally sliced ​​raw, as long as you find one, there must be other Ganoderma lucidum nearby.

After wandering around for a while, he found some more around. He uprooted them and put them in his bag. Jia Min quickly went down the mountain.When we arrived at the inn, we got on our horses and headed back.

At the beginning of Shen Shi, Jia Min returned to Yeduju.Put the Ganoderma lucidum in a pottery pot, and then take a larger pottery pot to fill half of the pot of water, and put the pottery pot containing the Ganoderma lucidum into it.In order to lower the temperature, let the Ganoderma lucidum keep fresh for as long as possible.

Ye Du lived in the southwest corner of the compound, nearly 100 meters away from Jia Min's residence.It turned out that there were seven or eight houses left by Ji Mingluan and a row of semi-finished houses.Here is Jia Min's future production factory.

The first one is the blacksmith shop.The second room is the winery, and the third, fourth, and fifth rooms are the future flower cellars and greenhouses.

Both the blacksmith shop and the winery need to burn fire all the year round. According to Jia Min's design, he needs to buy some porcelain pipes to guide the waste heat into the flower cellar and greenhouse.In this way, in winter, the flower cellar and greenhouse can be heated.At that time, planting flowers and vegetables here will be out-of-season vegetables.Similar to the plastic greenhouse in the previous life.

It's just that there is no plastic in this world yet, so glass has to be used instead.

Now there are glass on the market, although the price is higher, but still affordable.According to Jia Min's calculation, as long as one season of production, not only can the investment be recovered, but also relatively large profits will be made.

Just imagine, when counting to nine in the cold winter, what kind of rhythm is it to take out vegetables and flowers that are only available in summer?For my part, take the high-end route. When the time comes, pack it well, make up a story, create a marketing phenomenon, and even take the opportunity to break into the palace. How can there be no reason not to make a lot of money?
Below the flower cellar is the ganoderma lucidum room.

This is a separate three cabins.In the first room, there is a small tool room next to the stove, and there is a pot in it, which happens to be used by Jia Min.

Jia Min used this small tool room as an inoculation room.The other two empty rooms were used as ganoderma cultivation rooms.

The half-built houses in the distance are the future pig farms.

Regarding the pig farm, Jia Min has another plan, which he plans to implement after the winery starts construction.

Jia Min called Fenghua and asked her to clean the inside and outside of the inoculation room. Then, he followed Fenghua and nailed the wall and roof to the tung oil cloth left over from the watermelon field that day, without leaving any gaps. Where the wall leaks.

Then add water to the pot and start to ignite the fire.

Ping'er looked at it, but for a long time he didn't understand what Jia Min wanted to do, and it was difficult to ask, so he was ready to leave.Unexpectedly, Jia Min stopped her and told her to arrange Xueyue and Ning'er after the meal, and Nan'er also came to take over. Tonight, the fire continued to burn, and when the water in the pot boiled dry, add water.It will continue until tomorrow morning, at least eight hours.

Just burn it like this, waste coal, and help workers, doing nothing?I don't know what to do.

However, in the past few days, he had gotten used to Jia Min's nonsense, and Ping'er became numb, so he agreed to arrange it.

Heart said: Hurry up, I will go back sooner.If this goes on like this, if he is not exhausted to death, he will also be pissed to death.

This process is actually a process of sterilizing the inoculation chamber by releasing high-temperature water vapor.

Ganoderma lucidum is a kind of fungus, but there are a lot of miscellaneous bacteria in the air, on the walls and on the roof.

After Ganoderma lucidum inoculation, Ganoderma lucidum grows, and other miscellaneous bacteria also grow.At that time, the growth space and nutrients of the Ganoderma lucidum will be invaded.

Therefore, it is necessary to kill all the miscellaneous bacteria in advance, and only let the Ganoderma lucidum grow in the jar.When the mycelium of Ganoderma lucidum completely occupies the space in the jar, you will not be afraid of miscellaneous bacteria.

In the previous life, in the early stage of this sterilization process, a mixture of formaldehyde and formalin was used to react and release gas to sterilize. Later, there was an inoculation box.

There are no such things here, so I have to use the local method to get on the horse.

Then, Jia Min moved the jars he bought back into the inoculation room and sterilized them together.

Before the meal was set, Joli rushed back.Finding a blacksmith and printing advertisements have all been arranged.The blacksmith came to Yeduju to have a look this morning, and he will come tomorrow.The ad will be picked up tomorrow.

For the matter of digging a well, I found a family behind the Guozijian in the city. It was Chen Hanlin, a Jinshi from the Hanlin Academy.We met yesterday, had a rough talk, and went to listen to the letter today.

Today Jiaoli went, not only did Chen Hanlin decide to dig the well, but also five or six people came, saying that if Chen Hanlin's well was completed, they would also dig it.

Even Jia Min was a little surprised that this was a good start, and he didn't expect the response to be so fast.

Although Ping'er didn't say anything, but listening to it from the side, he felt a little happy in his heart.She saw the well digging with her own eyes, and her own well was there, so it was certain.

Maybe he can do other things too?If that's the case, maybe it's really not a nonsense.

Although the drilling of the well has not officially started, everyone knows that this matter has been completed.So the atmosphere of eating is very lively.

"Nan'er, what are you going to do when you have money in the future?"

Jiao Li teased Nan'er.

"I want to build three big tile-roofed houses, buy three acres of land, a cow, marry a beautiful wife like Ping'er's sister, and have a few children. When I have nothing to do in winter, I will heat the kang and put it on the kang. Eat wine."

"You can't stop your mouth even if you eat, eat quickly, and light a fire for Ning'er in a while, put out the fire, be careful of your skin."

Ping'er smiled, and tapped Nan'er on the head with the tip of his chopsticks.

"You have three acres of land, a cow, a wife and children, and a jug of dead wine."

Jia Min concluded, causing a burst of laughter.

Ping'er didn't want to laugh, but finally couldn't help it, and started laughing.But I said in my heart: This is quite easy to say, when I go back to the mansion and tell others, I don't know how funny it is.

After dinner, Jia Min was tossing around in the kitchen again.

He took out the unicorn vegetables he had bought, and Jiaoli helped him, and put them in the pot to boil.

Gioli has gotten used to the fact that the master does the work himself, so he doesn't find it surprising.So do as much as you can.

As it was burning, strange things happened. I saw that those unicorn vegetables gradually disappeared in the pot, but the water in the pot seemed to thicken.

Take out the gauze bought yesterday and start filtering.Pour off the remaining coarse dregs, and put the filtered juice back into the pot to boil.Then there is filtering.Go back and forth like this five times before it's over.

Looking at the rest, it is less than [-]% of the original.

Taking those juices to the back room, Ning'er sent the jars in the inoculation room.Joli divided the juice into jars, and after two cups of tea, the juice gradually solidified and became a colorless and transparent jelly, just like skin jelly.

"Fourth Master, what is this?"

Ping'er saw that they were busy, so she also came over to watch the fun.

"It's called agar."

"What is agar?"

"Make a culture medium."

"What is a culture medium?"

"It's used to grow Ganoderma lucidum."

"What is Ganoderma lucidum?"

"Ganoderma lucidum is a medicinal herb."

"Oh, medicinal materials. What? You mean, you want to grow Ganoderma lucidum? The fairy grass Ganoderma lucidum? Are you crazy?"

Ping'er's eyes widened, and he almost jumped up.
