Chapter 1,362 Potential Production Capacity

In fact, Su You can't stand today's northwest. He is someone who can't eat without fresh vegetables. In today's northwest winter, all he needs is celery, garlic sprouts, and leeks.

Su You had no choice but to grow bean sprouts and radish seedlings by himself, but these were only available in the state capital. In the wilderness, he could only grow vegetables.

In order to add some vegetarian food to himself, Su You had no choice but to use canned food, and even developed shredded water chestnuts and pineapple sweetened pork.

Fortunately, the shepherd's purse has finally sprouted, otherwise life would be really difficult.

There are many wild vegetables in the foothills of the Qilian Mountains, some of which I have never seen before in Suyou, such as a plant called galala, whose young leaves and fruits taste good.

The braised cakes were a bit greasy for Su You, so the three-bake Taiwanese tea served to Tang Yan that year was well received after adding Hexi specialty raisins, dried apricots, wolfberries and red dates.

Holding the tea cup and looking at Tong Guan, Sun Neng, Yao Lin and Wang Hou who were eating cakes and meat, Su You said: "I think I can publish a book called "North and South Herbal Medicine for Relieving Famines."

Sun Neng expressed his objection: "I think we should first publish a "Recipes for Preparing Delicacies from North and South", which can be divided into poultry, beasts, fish, insects, eggs, vegetables, fruits, grains, and medicine..."

Tong Guan raised the cup and took a sip, making room for his tongue: "Well, there is also tea..."

Su You took it seriously: "You are all laymen. The key to cooking is not only the ingredients, but also kitchen utensils, heat, and condiments. Only when these are all in place can you say you can cook well."

"Take the wok as an example. This should be written in the book: The wok has a concave belly, two ears, a thin body, and a diameter of half a foot. It should be made of red copper, wrought iron, or cast iron, with the one that can easily penetrate the firepower being the best."

"When a new pot is put into the kitchen, it needs to be heated to red heat and fertilized with oil. Cut two ounces of pig fat into thin slices, put it into the pot, and simmer the inside."

"When the fat becomes dregs, the pot will be covered with an oil film. It will be more convenient to use it later."

"Another example is the pickled ginger commonly used in Bashu cuisine. The key to making it is to have a Bashu pickle jar. Without a pickle jar, the pickles will not come out."

"For example, various spices, origin, shape, taste, medicinal properties, compatibility, and taboos are all the secrets."

"We have all these, as well as techniques, various cooking techniques, and knife skills. We must first have rules. What is stir-frying, what is frying, how to roll the hob, and how to use the flower knife, all of which are clearly understood."

"Only when you know these basics can you start writing about cooking."

As he talked, he felt so beautiful: "This is a big career... After I become an official, I will publish a "Cooking Classic", which will be a good way to kill time..."

Several young people looked at each other, because you are a bachelor, do you have to be so big in everything you do?

However, even if this is the popularization of several kinds of "cake dishes" in the army, it takes no time to stew the pancakes, but frying the pancakes is always no problem.

There is also naan. In fact, the mutton soaked bun is slightly modified, that is, the mutton soup is soaked in naan, and buns can be baked in the naan pit.

Su You was stunned again when he thought of this. Did he change the regional distribution of traditional Chinese food culture?

Grilled buns and naan in mutton soup, didn’t this turn Xinjiang cuisine into Gansu cuisine? Ramen moved from Lanzhou to Shaanxi, did this turn Gansu cuisine into Shaanxi cuisine?

There is also the Sanpao Terrace, because it was created when Su You first received Tang Yan. Now it is called "Lishi Tea", and the place of origin became the middle of Shu?

Sin, sin, sin...

He shook his head. He had eaten too well and had too much leisure in the past few days, so he couldn't help but think about it.

In the afternoon, news came from everywhere that dozens of suspicious caves were discovered.

The drawing of Cave No. 16 had been completed, and Su You personally took charge and asked Liu Xun to open the secret room.

First apply glue on the place where the hole is to be made in the cave painting, then apply konjac glue film, and carefully peel off this part of the wall.

During this process, Su You also discovered that these walls were not one layer, but multiple layers. Over the past few hundred years, people not only dug new caves, but also reused old ones.

So the original plan was postponed again, and the removal of murals became multiple times. In the end, four layers of one square meter of wall were removed.

Tong Guan and Yao Lin are so frivolous. The bachelors have many tricks. Isn't this just a matter of a detonator?

By the time the wall covering was removed, it was already dark, so Su You had to stop work again and wait until tomorrow.

Tong Guan and Yao Lin were really angry. Yao Lin stood up and said in a rough voice: "Tomorrow I will lead an army to hunt! This delicate work is annoying and tiring!"

Tong Guan also echoed: "I'll go too and stay for two more days, in case I get sick suddenly!"

There are too many wild animals in the foothills of the Qilian Mountains today, including antelopes, wild ass, and white-lipped deer. Along the way, Su You often saw thousands of them roaring back and forth.

In addition, there are blue sheep, argali, red deer, lynx, snow leopard, brown bear, lynx, red fox, snow chicken, snow pigeon...

Now that it has entered early summer, the breeding period of wild animals has passed, and hunters are beginning to feel itchy.

Su You can't control this. Hunting is a normal activity in Hexi today.

Regardless of Xixia, Liao or Song Dynasty, if you hunt down ferocious beasts such as bears and tigers, not only will the government reward you, but the hunter will also be paraded through the streets to show off.

Even the queen and queen mother of the Liao Kingdom had to personally shoot tigers and kill bears, and they had to record it in the history books.

However, Yao Lin and Tong Guan's good wishes were mercilessly attacked by Su You. They thought beautifully. Starting tomorrow, they will bring a big columbine and go with Yuchi Prefect to plow the land and plant five thousand hectares of cotton for me!

The effective planting area of ​​cotton in Liangzhe Road, Fujian, and Guangdong has now reached over 100,000 hectares, but how can this little amount be enough for the huge market consumption of the Song Dynasty? The price of cotton cloth has always been high.

Wild cotton is mainly diploid, with occasional tetraploid. However, after my little sister opened the crop gene expansion agent - colchicine, Sinong Temple in the Song Dynasty began to frantically experiment with various traditional crops.

The first focus of the agricultural science and technology tree is to solve the problem of increasing grain production, and the second focus is to solve the problem of increasing the production of high-value crops.

Of course, colchicine is not a panacea, but in addition to colchicine, the subject of purposefully searching for and screening wild enlarged varieties to determine and stabilize their properties has also entered the human eye.

In fact, humans have always done this, but this time, the Song people had advanced genetic theory as a guide.

In addition to Laishan No. 1 wheat, the first breakthroughs were made by tetraploid cotton and rubber grass.

Sinong Temple has begun to conduct intra-line hybridization on them to test the characteristics of triploid plants.

As a border town, if the food you grow is robbed, it will become an enemy. Therefore, the main crops arranged by Suyou for the Shazhou area are cotton, rubber grass, oilseeds, fruits, grapes and other cash crops.

With the textile technology of the neighboring small countries, cotton production is already overproduced for them, but the problem of the Song Dynasty is not the problem of processing machinery and production capacity, but also the bottleneck of raw materials.

Other than that, it's just about animal husbandry, and you can run away when the enemy comes.

Those slightly closer to the inland are important grain-producing areas such as wheat, millet, and rice.

Therefore, this time, Suyou brought high-yielding cotton seeds to Shazhou.

Growing cotton is similar to growing wheat, but it requires deep plowing and ridging.

First, you need to adjust the tillage depth of the columbine and till deeply once, then load the seed fertilizer into the material box and till shallowly again for sowing.

With the vastness of Hexi, such ultra-large-scale mechanical sowing can be put on the agenda.

As for irrigation, it is enough to draw water from the upper reaches of the Daquan River and dig ditches. When the canals are opened to the Gobi in the future, they will have to be covered and buried. Underground cement reservoirs will be built at intervals, and wind-driven irrigation stations will be built above them.

Today's land prices are equivalent to a year's grain harvest on the land. After Su You transforms these wastelands into fertile farmland, he will make money.

In other words, if Su You can grow and sell crops worth twice the price of grain on the 100,000 hectares of land that is now nominally owned by Zhao Xu, he can pay him back double the cost within a year.

go back.

Why was Cai Jing able to rise again and again in real history? One very important reason is that he was able to enrich the emperor's private residence and satisfy his personal needs.

Of course, its method is not to open up the source, but to harm the country, harm the people, and ultimately lead to the collapse of the country.

Suyou wants to follow the same path, but his method is to expand production capacity on the blank sheet of Hexi.
