Be Good Chapter 2591: Self-heating rice
After agreeing on a time, Gu Le'an devoted himself to her career. She first went to find Ouyang Li. After all, he had a lot of connections and knowledge. Of course, she went to see him secretly.
I didn't expect that the things here are not only scarce, but some of them are also very strictly controlled. Ouyang Li also spent several days of effort to gather the things she wanted.
She gave Ouyang Li the detailed illustration of wooden cows and horses, and asked him to find some talented carpenters to make a batch. She said that she could earn a lot of money, and then took the things Ouyang Li sent to retreat.
After several days of sleepless nights, Gu Le'an finally finished the production on the appointed day. Looking at the seemingly wooden cows and horses in the courtyard, she looked proud.
The wooden ox and horse are the means of transportation invented by the prime minister Zhuge Liang during the Shuhan period of the Three Kingdoms. They are divided into wooden ox and horse.
It is recorded in history that Zhuge Liang used it during the Northern Expedition. Its load was one-year-old grain, about 400 catties or more, and the daily journey was tens of miles for special travelers and thirty miles in groups. Providing food for the 100,000 army of the Shu Han is a miracle. It has made outstanding contributions to the transportation of food and grass. Of course, it was lost later, but some scholars have restored its structural diagram, so she can see it in some materials.
When she was complacent, Xie Yuanmiao arrived as promised, and he was immediately attracted by the unique car in the courtyard.
Gu Le'an didn't talk nonsense, so he explained it now.
"You mean that without horsepower, one person can push something that weighs 400 catties?" Yong Yan was a little unconvinced.
Gu Le'an knew that there would be such a question a long time ago, so she asked Yongyan to test it herself, and she prepared all the food.
The car was supported by two things, and no one needed to be caressed. Yongyan piled up several generations of grain, but the car still didn't move at all. It was not until four hundred catties were enough that Yongyan rolled up his sleeves and went to lift the car .
The hand was unusually light, so Yong Yan glanced at Gu Le'an in surprise, he knew it had nothing to do with his advanced skills.
A three-foot-long shaft is inserted between the two character-shaped top holes on the bottom of the car, and a wooden stake that can swing along the small shaft is hinged on each of the small shafts. Xie Yuanmiao saw the key at a glance, "This Can you walk freely on the mountains and land?"
Listening to Xie Yuanmiao's important point, Gu Le'an gave him an even more appreciative glance, but he instructed Yongyan to use gravity skillfully to make the car make various movements.
Yongyan tried it out for a while, and felt the importance of this thing more and more, "If it works, it will save a lot of money for raising horses."
You must know that the consumption of horses for transporting grain is also huge. Horses are like this, let alone people. If the distance is long, halfway through, half of the grain and grass transported can be consumed.
Xie Yuanmiao stretched out his hand to Gu Le'an, "The drawing."
Gu Le'an originally wanted to ask for some favors from him, but seeing his urgent look, he couldn't bear it anymore, took out the blueprint that he had hidden in the morning from his arms, and handed it out with great reluctance.
Xie Yuanmiao looked at it for a while before raising his head from the drawing, "Good job."
Gu Le'an widened his eyes and looked at him in surprise.
Is this the end?
Xie Yuanmiao pulled the corner of his lips, and put the blueprint into his arms, "I will pass it on to you if the emperor has any reward later on."
Gu Le'an smiled with satisfaction, and she took out another compressed biscuit, but handed it to Yongyan who was still thinking about the car.
"Are you hungry?" She asked with a smile, with a malicious look on her face.
Yongyan stood there, glanced at the pastry that was made of something unknown, and then looked back at her smiling, "I'm not hungry, I ate it."
Are you clever! Knowing that she wanted to use him as a guinea pig.
Xiaoyu behind Gu Le'an hid her face and seemed to be snickering. After eating this for several days, she felt sick to her stomach.
Gu Le'an smiled like a flower, "That would be even better, if you can eat this piece, I will give you five taels of silver."
The pastry in front of her was only the size of her palm, thinking of the five taels of silver she had lost, Yong Yan accepted the pastry with a desperate face, and took a tentative bite.
Xie Yuanmiao raised his eyebrows and looked, only to see Yongyan's eyes showing surprise, he glanced suspiciously at Gu Le'an who was smiling brightly, then took another big bite, chewed, and said: "It's delicious Huh?"
Gu Le'an did not explain to him, "You eat first."
After speaking, she took out the self-heating lunch box again. Of course, there is still a certain distance between the package and the real self-heating lunch box. She didn't explain it, and added water in front of them, and then covered it.
Self-heating box lunch is actually the result of the reaction between the water bag in the lunch box and the heating agent packaged in non-woven fabric. It is actually a chemical reaction, but it is non-toxic and harmless, and it will not lose nutrition.
Here, when the soldiers started fighting, they didn't even have enough food, not to mention vegetables, and the horns were always on.
If this person doesn't eat well, he won't be able to fight well.
This self-heating box lunch is convenient and fast. Although Ouyang Li spent some time helping her find the heating agent, fortunately, she found it. The fly in the ointment is that there is no vacuum equipment here, so the storage time cannot be guaranteed, but it is also Complementary to compressed biscuits.
At this time, Yongyan interrupted with some doubts, "What on earth is this made of? Why, I feel a little too full."
There was still a small half of the compressed biscuit left in his palm, but he obviously stopped talking and didn't intend to eat it.
"Puffed powder, sugar, peanut oil, salt, and sesame seeds." Gu Le'an didn't hide it, and just said the recipe.
"What is puffed powder?" I know everything else, but I have never heard of this, so Yongyan asked.
"You don't even know it, it's just an additive." Gu Le'an said.
Yongyan nodded half-knowingly, looked at the pastry in his hand, "Just this one, it can last for a day's meals."
Gu Le'an nodded, "It means you have eaten, otherwise you can eat this piece."
Xie Yuanmiao said: "Is there any more?"
Gu Le'an took out a piece for him and told him, "Eat less, just try it."
Xie Yuanmiao took it, under the gaze of everyone, tasted a few mouthfuls, and said: "It's very expensive."
The corner of Gu Le'an's mouth twitched, wondering if this man's eyes should be so poisonous, "Soldiers are bleeding on the front line, so it's nothing to eat something good."
Speaking of this, Xie Yuanmiao looked at her strangely for several times. Gu Le'an was puzzled at first, and then realized that he was from Northern Xinjiang. It seemed a little bit concerned about soldiers from other countries. Strange position.
"It smells so good."
Fortunately, Yongyan interjected and broke Gu Le'an's embarrassment.
I saw the box that Gu Le'an was playing with before, making a gurgling sound and steaming.
"Don't move", she uttered a voice to stop Yongyan from turning the box, waited for a while, estimated the time, and then carefully avoided the heat, and opened the box.
"Is this rice cooked so quickly?" Yong Yan was amazed.
