Li Lanzhen rented an oxcart, and the whole...
First, I went to the ceramics shop to get my ceramic bowls and plates, and then I went to the fabric shop to pay and get my fabric packed.
We went straight back to Moon Bay Pier.
She opened one of her spare storerooms.
Li Lanzhen instructed the driver to unload all the goods and put them into the warehouse.
After the driver drove off, Li Lanzhen quickly took out six large iron pots, one hundred and twenty sets of mattresses and quilts from her spatial storage.
The batch of mattresses and quilts in the space has been used up, but even so, there are still about 1,000 sets left.
Li Lanzhen doesn't plan to take out the rest.
If needed, just go to Youzhou City to buy cotton and cloth to make it.
After everything was prepared, Li Lanzhen sat down, drank a bowl of spiritual spring water, rested for a while, and then went to call for Shuishan on the boat docked at Moon Bay Wharf.
As soon as she stepped onto the dock, Metasequoia saw her waving, jumped off the boat, and asked with a smile, "Auntie, are the goods ready? I'll go and load them onto the boat."
"There's a lot of stuff. Go and call two people to help you move it."
"Now that the boat is loaded, let's head back as soon as possible."
Shuishan wanted to move the goods herself and didn't want to spend money, but then she remembered what Li Lanzhen had said about going back as soon as possible, so she went to the dock and found two helpers to move the goods.
After the cargo was loaded, the ship steadily sailed out of Moon Bay Wharf and entered the river channel.
Li Lanzhen took out four hot steamed buns and handed them to Shui Shan.
"Metasequoia, have some steamed buns to tide you over. You can have lunch when you get back."
The sagewood girl happily accepted the steamed bun, saying, "Thank you, Auntie."
When they returned to Peach Blossom Spring and docked at the Eleven Trees Wharf, Han Dazhong was waiting there in a donkey cart.
"Village chief, please wait here. Thank you."
Han Dazhong waved his hand and laughed, "No need to thank me. I figured you'd be back soon, so I drove the donkey cart here to wait and haul the stuff."
Han Dazhong saw that six large iron pots, bowls, plates, quilts and mattresses had been unloaded from the ship.
He looked up at Li Lanzhen and said, "Lanzhen, how much silver is this in total? I'll keep an account of it as village expenses, and I'll give it to you directly when we distribute the silver at the end of the year."
Li Lanzhen shook her head, "No need, no need, these are all my personal property."
Seeing her resolute attitude, Han Dazhong did not insist any further.
Arrangements have been made in full swing regarding the accommodation and other related matters for the upcoming 113 wounded and disabled soldiers.
Of course, this incident did not affect or disrupt the timing and work of the grain harvest in Peach Blossom Spring.
The weather was also very nice during the harvest season.
There were no major storms or heavy rains this year, so the grain harvest went very smoothly.
The rice and wheat grains were spread out on the ground to dry in the sun, packed up, and stored in the granary.
On the drying ground, only a patch of golden corn cobs remained, still drying.
With the off-season over, the adults and children were exhausted from the harvest season, so the village took a three-day break.
These three days are supposed to be a rest period, but if you still want to earn work points, there are still many things to do. If you want to do them, then do them; if you don't want to earn those work points, there are still other people doing those jobs.
Li Lanzhen and the village committee members are currently on the riverbank next to the drying ground.
The water mill from the first mill in Peach Blossom Spring is being installed here.
This mill operates using water power.
There were no blueprints in the space showing how the water mill worked.
However, after Li Lanzhen explained the working principle of the water mill to Li Erhan and the others, they began to experiment.
After a year of intermittent use, the water mill is finally working smoothly.
The mill was built very large and had two sets of millstones installed inside.
One is a millstone for grinding flour, and the other is a stone mill for grinding rice.
The stone roller is driven by the force of the river water, which saves time and effort.
Last year's harvest of wheat, corn kernels, and rice was transported by boat to the mill in Youzhou city to be processed into wheat flour and corn flour, which was very inconvenient.
It's too much trouble to grind flour and rice using manpower or livestock.
That's why Li Lanzhen thought of the great river in Peach Blossom Spring, and how to use the water to build a mill.
Li Erhan was a stonemason when he was in Yejiawan. They had already selected suitable stones and made millstones for grinding flour and stone rollers for milling rice.
This matter was completed in less than a month.
The most difficult part was repeatedly experimenting with how to use the force of the river water to drive the stone roller to work.
Li Lanzhen then told Lee Kuan Yew to first create a miniature version of the millstone, like a toy, and then test it repeatedly in a basin of water.
It took nearly a year of continuous adjustments to achieve today's success.
Li Erhan and his team were only responsible for making the stone rollers and stone mills, and researching the technology of using the force of water to make the stone rollers rotate.
Another part of the work involved modifying a factory building here.
This was a piece of cake for Han Zhaoxiong and his construction team.
The problem was how to build a sturdy base on the riverbed that could accommodate two large millstones.
Fortunately, they overcame these challenges one by one over a period of nearly a year.
Li Lanzhen witnessed the entire process and kept it in mind.
This once again allowed Li Lanzhen to witness the wisdom of the ancient working people.
So whether you're a time traveler or a reincarnated person, don't get too cocky. The indigenous people are very clever.
Today is the day the installation will be successful and operational.
Li Lanchun took out a string of 1,000 firecrackers and handed it to Han Dazhong.
Above the mill's entrance hangs a plaque that reads "Peach Blossom Spring Mill".
These characters were originally written by Master Xu, then carved out bit by bit by Li Erhan, and finally only brushed with a layer of tung oil, giving them a simple yet grand appearance.
It added luster to this ordinary mill.
Starting today, things will be much more convenient in Peach Blossom Spring with this mill.
All the sweet potatoes and potatoes were dug up and sent to the vermicelli factory.
The vermicelli factory has resumed operations. Li Lanzhen has informed the village committee that the first batch of ripe sweet potatoes and potatoes will all be sent to the vermicelli factory to be made into vermicelli.
The second batch of ripe sweet potatoes and potatoes were sent to the canteen as food.
The village committee agreed.
This was another village committee meeting. The prince was absent, but Su Beisheng was still seated.
When the Crown Prince left, Su Beisheng insisted on going with him, but the Crown Prince dissuaded him.
The prince told him, "It is most important that you stay here! Every single thing the village committee discusses in their meetings must be recorded without missing a single word."
Everything related to the autumn harvest should be carefully recorded.
That's how Su Beisheng was persuaded to stay.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Han Dazhong began to speak.
"There are a few things to discuss at today's village committee meeting."
We have collected all the grain that was due.
In addition, the second batch of sweet potatoes and potatoes have also been planted.
Today marks exactly one year since we started living and growing grains and vegetables here.
So now we need to see if we can plant two seasons of rice or two seasons of wheat, as we originally agreed.
Brother Zhang, you're the most qualified to speak on this, so please tell us.
When Han Dazhong called his name, Zhang Deshui nodded and took out a notebook. Everyone knew that this was Zhang Songshu's notebook, which he never took out of his pocket.
It records the climate changes, time points, and the entire process of planting grains in Peach Blossom Spring.
He patted the notebook and said.
"Based on our records, planting two rice crops a year is feasible!"
