Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 124 Sun Xin Eats Wine in Zhaojiazhuang

Tao Zongwang saw the added value of Sun Xin's research on wheat stalks, but Sun Xin saw something more profound.

Not long after this era, Sun Xin discovered that in this era, ordinary people could hardly go out in winter, simply because they did not have thick clothes to keep out the cold.

The great prosperity of cotton textiles did not start until Huang Daopo reformed prevention technology in the Yuan Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, although cotton had been widely planted in the countryside, the treatment of cotton was still very rough, and even the work of removing cotton seeds had to be pure. Manual completion is very inefficient.

In this year, if a soft cotton-like thing is developed to fill warm clothes, there will definitely be a market.

The processing of cotton is a complicated subject. Shandong, where Sun Xinsheng became popular in his previous life, was one of the cotton-producing areas in the Yellow River Basin. However, Sun Xin himself has few cotton processing skills. At most, he can vaguely recall them. Some operating procedures in the era of hand-looming, but how to restore those machines is also a matter for Sun Xin that needs to be explored slowly.

On the contrary, Sun Xin had introduced the technology of making straw cotton from wheat straw in his previous life, and he knew the operation process clearly.

The process is very simple, but the pollution is a little bigger and the benefits are not high. If it wasn't for environmental protection, Sun Xin's cooperative would not have been introduced at all.But it is really suitable for this year. First of all, the idea of ​​pollution is not a problem for the environment of this era. As for the production cost, the cotton can be directly spun after it is taken out. The cotton processing technology is still very rough here. In this era, Sun Xin feels that it may even be cheaper to make than cotton products in this era.

The reason why he had to choose straw for development was that Sun Xin also had other thoughts. He wanted to gradually establish a manufacturing industry in Sunjiazhuang.

Whether it is the cultivation of mushrooms or the processing of textiles, they are all based on the deep processing of agriculture. Sun Xin's expectation for Sun Family Village is not just a farm. There must be a beginning. The most stable by-product on the farm is straw, so let’s start with this straw.

Sun Xin briefly explained to everyone the method of planting strains of wheat straw and making cotton with wheat straw, and then he went to the cart to look at the wheat straw. So he handed over the rest of the heavy work to the three apprentices.

He assigned Zou Run and Xie Zhen to take people to make fungus bags, while Jie Bao went to the medicine worker to prepare to study the production method of straw cotton.

After a long meeting, Li Zhicai came to the small courtyard late, and Sun Xin could guess from the way he saw him that he had a small meeting with his dealers first.
When something like this happened, it was easy for me to say it here, but his subordinates must be much more emotional than me here.

Li Zhi was a little ashamed to see everyone. After entering the room, he greeted everyone with a smiling face, but for the rest of the time, he only dared to look at the ground.

Everyone entered the house and discussed about the spring plowing for a while. When the meeting was over, Sun Xin patted Li Zhi on the shoulder: "It's all over, go back today and have a good rest. You will still be busy when the spring plowing starts."

Sun Xin got up early the next day and came to the pharmaceutical workshop in Sunjiazhuang.

Compared with other places in the farm, Sun Xin felt refreshed as soon as he entered this workshop.

Now there are more than 30 farmers and pharmaceutical workers who specialize in medicinal materials in Sunjiazhuang. Compared with other places in the farm, there is a bit of a smell, and the environment in the pharmaceutical workshop is much better.

The ground is paved with blue bricks, and there are large windows with clear paper on the walls, which provide good lighting. However, the wooden cabinets and countertops are scrubbed three times a day, and half an hour is spent on sanitation before the end of the day. They are never allowed to leave dirty.

There is no smell of fat and water in the air, and there is a faint fragrance of medicine.

Seeing Sun Xin coming in, the busy pharmaceutical workers in the pharmacy all raised their heads and asked, "Hello, owner."

Xie Bao had already hired a few clever medicine workers, and Sun Xin took them around and taught them how to make straw cotton.

The production of straw cotton does not require any complicated technology. It is straightforward to burn the wheat straw with strong acid and strong alkali to extract the cellulose. The key to the process is sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide.

These two things are two of the most basic three-acid and two-alkali in all large-scale industrial production, and they can barely be produced with the current technical capabilities of Sunjiazhuang.Although there will be some physical damage to the Zhuang Kemen, but Sunjiazhuang is such a big place, it is enough to find a ventilated place for them.

Several pharmacists and Xie Bao listened carefully to Sun Xin talking about the indigenous methods of making sulfuric acid and caustic soda in a company-run chemical factory in his childhood memories, and they wrote down the equipment needed in detail.

A few days later, a few people will go to Dengzhou City to buy all those porcelain jars and other supplies, and go to the pharmacy in Dengzhou City to find the green vitriol that Sun Xin needs.

After explaining the matter, Sun Xin left Sunjiazhuang.It always takes a while to make sulfuric acid and caustic soda, and he can already leave these trivial things to Xie Bao to do. It's almost noon, and he has to go to a nearby village to catch rice noodles.

After staying at Shili Pai for two years, Sun Xin is now the biggest tycoon in the neighborhood. Just after the New Year's Eve, Sun Xin began to receive invitations for all kinds of weddings and funerals from big households in nearby villages.

As a result, it was only the fifteenth day of January, and Sun Xin had received twenty invitations for him to appear in the entire month of January and February.

He has to go to most of the banquets, the key is that it is a little embarrassing for people to ask him not to show up for the first time, but in the future, he can deal with it by asking his apprentice to give him some gifts.

People don't move around a lot these days, so outsiders may think that Sun Xin is overwhelmed by such a high-intensity banquet, but Sun Xin has no pressure at all.

When he was running a business in his previous life, he also encountered the situation of eating five tables of banquets a day and drinking until he vomited. At that time, his body in his 40s could cope with it. At this time, he was seventeen or eighteen years old and healthy. Dealing with twenty tables of red and white affairs, where is this?
And presumably after dealing with this for a while, the next invitations to the table should not be as frequent as they are now.

Around the end of the year, everyone is slack, and things are more lively. If you wait until the beginning of spring, even the landlord’s family will not have time to take care of these things. The work on the field will be too busy. , not to mention those small farmers who are busy from day to night all day long.

After riding a horse for half an hour with a farmer, Sun Xin came to Zhaojiazhuang not far from Dengzhou.

Today is the [-]th birthday of the old lady in Zhaojiazhuang.

When Sun Xin arrived, the youngest son of Zhaojiazhuang was picking up customers at the door.

The moment Sun Xin appeared, Xiaoguan Zhao put on a full smile on his face.

He hurriedly took someone to greet Sun Xin to sit at the table.
