Legendary star: Signed to the Palace at the beginning

Chapter 62 Minwa
When the villagers saw Xiaomi, their eyes turned blue. If they were not afraid of beheading, they would have stepped forward to grab him.

Hearing Xiao Chuan's words, everyone was stunned. Then they saw several large carts of food in front of them. Knowing that it was not a dream, they reacted first and pushed forward one after another.

Xiao Lizheng said: "Folks, didn't you hear what the young master said? Is there anyone willing to work? Those who are willing to work should line up here."

The crowd, like hot water being poured on the ant nest, was all frying pan, scrambling to squeeze in front of Xiao Li, some squeezed out their trousers, some squeezed out their shoes.

Xiao Lizheng was almost squeezed down and trampled to death.

Xiao Chuan's eyes were blank, and everyone stood in front of Xiao Li, including those children with snot in their backs.

Xiao Chuan said: "Xiao Lizheng, you choose some smart people, even women, I want to teach them how to make Mingwa palace lanterns, let the others dig river mussels first."

Yu Wenyan asked curiously: "What is Mingwa?"

Xiao Chuan said: "Mingwa is to melt clam shells and horns into glue, then press them into transparent sheets, install them on windows, instead of window paper, it is brighter than window paper, and the windows are brighter and cleaner. It can also be used to make clam shell palace lanterns and sheep horn palace lanterns." .”

Yu Wenyan said: "You still understand this?"

Xiao Chuan said angrily: "You can build a construction site for the Supreme Emperor. What do you don't understand about these gadgets?"

Yu Wenyan said: "That's right, you all have magical puppet cars like motorcycles, and the little palace lantern is naturally not a problem."

Soon, Xiao Lizheng selected dozens of ingenious people.

Xiao Chuan said with satisfaction: "Xiao Lizheng, you are well-known, help me assign manpower, find 10 old farmers who can take care of the land to help me grow crops in the greenhouse, find ten women who can cook, and put the pots and stoves together. Stand by the canal and start cooking, while the rest of the women, children, and old people go to catch fish and mussels."

Xiao Lizheng said: "Okay, Lang Jun, I understand. The old Wangtou next door is good at farming. It is right to let him farm. My mother-in-law can cook. I will let her lead 9 people." The woman went to cook, and I went to watch them catch fish and dig river clams."

Xiao Chuan said: "Okay, let's arrange it like this."

Xiao Lizheng turned to the villagers and shouted: "Listen to me, Mr. Lang is the reincarnation of Bodhisattva. Seeing that we are going to run out of food in the winter, find some work to let us eat. He is kind and pitiful to us. Who would Being lazy at work has ruined my husband's mood and stopped giving us food, so don't blame me for the clan rules."

A courageous one responded: "Yes, anyone who is lazy and slippery will sink him into the pond."

Xiao Chuan nodded in satisfaction. Xiao Lizheng is worthy of being a grassroots cadre. He arranges work in a clear and logical way.

Several women, led by Mrs. Xiao Lizheng, went to each house to collect ten large pots and began to cook large pots of rice.

There are ready-made supermarket pork and Chinese cabbage in the backpack space, and the fatty ones are stewed.

Mrs. Xiao Lizheng instructed to boil water, chop meat, chop vegetables, and cook rice, but she was quick.

Xiao Chuan stipulated that from now on, people in Zhuangzi, regardless of adults or children, should drink boiled water, which can effectively prevent diseases.

The Dugu family naturally had their own mansion in Qujiang Village. Xiao Chuan asked everyone to clean up a few rooms, then took some clam shells, and began to teach the villagers to boil gelatin and make Mingwa.

Xiao Chuan hired several cars to transport the horns and clam shells purchased by Dugu Luo to Qujiang Village.

Xiao Chuan divided the craftsmen into two groups, one group grinds clam shells.

The clam shells are carefully polished, smooth and flat, with good fastness. Each piece is cut into squares of uniform size. The brilliance is truly beautiful.

The second group of craftsmen is responsible for boiling gelatin from sheep horns.Gelatin is the collagen part in connective tissues such as animal skin, bone, and sarcolemma. It is degraded into white or light yellow, translucent glue or powder. It is a colorless, odorless, non-volatile, transparent and hard amorphous Substance, soluble in hot water, insoluble in cold water, but can slowly absorb water and expand to soften.

In this era, people who eat meat are not enough to eat, so they can't be used to boil gelatin, so Xiao Chuan asked his father to buy sheep horns to boil gelatin.

Xiao Chuan is going to use Mingwa to make palace lanterns.

The two groups of craftsmen learned quickly, and each took a few apprentices to start working.

Xiao Chuan issued a gag order, and Xiao Lizheng knew that this workshop was the lifeline of Qujiang Villagers, so he took care of it personally.

The ancient master taught his apprentices to keep a hand. Now Mr. Xiao Lang gave the method of making Mingwa to the villagers. The manufacturing method of Mingwa is kept secret, and it is passed on from son to daughter. Gradually, Mingwa villages and towns have formed here, and it has become the Mingwa base in Northwest China. Gradually, foreign businessmen come to order Mingwa, and the products sell well all over the country.

People in Qujiang Village have been making Mingwa for generations, strictly keeping the secret recipe for making Mingwa, and became very wealthy. Later generations even erected a statue of Xiao Chuan’s ancestor on a street in Mingwa.

Then Xiao Chuan took 10 old farmers to buckle the greenhouse.

Xiao Chuan had already taken out enough plastic sheets, bamboo poles, straw curtains, and seeds in advance, put them on a carriage, found a wasteland outside the village, and started to fasten the greenhouse.

Although the old farmers had never seen plastic sheeting, they knew that this gentleman was a nobleman, so they didn't dare to ask more questions, and they did whatever they arranged.

After setting up the greenhouse and building a stove inside, Xiao Chuan handed the vegetable seeds and chili seeds to the old farmer, instructing them how to plant them, and only waited for the temperature in the greenhouse to rise and the land to thaw before they could be planted.

"Xiao Lizheng, let everyone rest for dinner."

"Okay, Mr. Lang."

Xiao Lizheng regards Xiao Chuan as the savior now, and strictly enforces his words.

All the villagers took out big bowls and vegetable bowls from their homes, lined up and started cooking.

Squatting in the cold wind, holding a rice bowl, millet, and cabbage with a few pieces of fat meat piled on top, the villagers ate it deliciously.

Xiao Li was walking around in the crowd while nibbling on a big bone stick, babbling and reminding: "Eat slowly, don't choke to death like a starving ghost, Mr. Dugu said, If you have enough food, add more if you don’t have enough.”

Xiao Chuan took a simple bite, then called Xiao Lizheng over and said, "Xiao Lizheng, I will help you dig river clams here. From now on, you will have three meals a day, just like today's standard, two meals of cabbage for breakfast and lunch." Stew meat, stew fish and stew river clams in the evening.”

Xiao Lizheng said: "Lang Jun, the actual food is so good, everyone can be satisfied if they can eat half full."

Xiao Chuan said: "It's okay, let's have a full meal now, and when you work in the future, Mr. Lang will pay you wages."

Xiao Lizheng was moved and said: "Lang Jun is really a kind man, we will definitely follow him and work hard."

From this day on, Xiao Chuan and Yu Wenyan rode to Qujiang Village every morning to teach the villagers how to make palace lanterns.

Xiao Li is managing the tile factory, Xiao Li's wife and girls are collecting mussels dug by the villagers, and Yu Juluo and Yuzan are Xiao Chuan's personal guards.
