Self-cultivation of Male Supporting Role

In this era, cotton is only used as a Chinese medicinal material, and its main function is to stop bleeding, mainly to treat hematemesis, bleeding from golden sores, metrorrhagia, and blood in the stool.

It grows naturally in the Western Regions generation, the yield is not high, and it is wild.

The seeds that were delivered to Shi Yan were all picked with great effort by the frontier generals.

Few people in Beijing have seen the plant cotton, so they don’t know anything about cotton picking. Fortunately, Wang An took the recipe given by his boss Shi Yan, and after many days of research and experiments, he finally found the fastest and most labor-saving way. The method is to give to the people who come to pick cotton.

Shi Yan drove the bullock cart as usual, took pen and paper to write and draw on the ground, and after getting the data he wanted, he floated away.

It had never been thought before that cotton could have other uses.

When the first basket of cotton was brought into Zhuangzi and placed in front of Shi Yan, Shi Yan finally remembered that he had forgotten something.

"I forgot that the cotton is really going to be used, and the seeds must be removed first. Hundreds of acres of cotton, and the seeds are peeled by hand. I'm afraid my eyes will be blinded?"

So Shi Yan locked himself in the study, and after reading a lot of materials, he managed to put together a cotton deseed machine that combined foot pedals and handle rotation, and pushed each other to deseed.

After drawing the drawings, Shi Yan called for chef Liu Quan: "Find a few craftsmen, I'll pay double the wages, and let them stay up late to make me a few more machines.

By the way, let me make one and take a look at it first. If it is suitable, I will continue to do it according to this. "

Liu Quan said excitedly, as if he had discovered something extraordinary, "Boss, I have never seen you in such a hurry!

Did you forget something, this time it was finally not arranged in advance? "

Shi Yan rolled his eyes lazily, too lazy to pay attention to this idiot.

Seeing that Shi Yan didn't speak, Liu Quan felt that Shi Yan had acquiesced. In a good mood, he went to find a familiar craftsman to make this object for Shi Yan.

When Wang An led someone to finish picking the cotton, the cotton seed removal machine on Shi Yan's side also passed the preliminary test and could be used.

So I thought that after finishing this vote, the people who would never be able to eat the cooking in Min'anbo Zhuangzi again received a new job - removing seeds from cotton.

No one else knows this stuff, and Shi Yan can only barely use it, but the efficiency is definitely not to mention.

Only Liu Quan witnessed the birth of the machine throughout the whole process, and was better than Shi Yan in using it proficiently.

Therefore, the burden of teaching everyone to use the cotton deseed machine naturally fell to Liu Quan

Above, Liu Quanjiao was so excited that he didn't even bother to cook.

Shi Yan raised a different opinion: "Anyway, take an hour to prepare the food before going!"

Liu Quan raised his chin with a proud and ugly face: "Then you have the ability to teach it! If you can teach those idiots, boss, I will go into the kitchen and cook for you obediently!"

Shi Yan was choked. To be honest, he really couldn't do this stuff, so he could only eat the food made by the cook in Zhuangzi.

The chef was moved to tears, and felt that the highlight moment belonging to the chef was finally coming. Uncle Xiang finally remembered that there is still a serious cook in Zhuangzi, I am very happy, and I am happy!

Unexpectedly, after Liu Quan let go, he would have countless legitimate reasons for not going into the kitchen, and would leave the responsibility of cooking for Shi Yan to the cook, while he himself would follow Wang An in and out, busy with work. , sunburned like a monkey, and the whole person was not happy.

A sentence that is often said in front of Shi Yan is: "This **** is the life a man should live! In the future, I won't go into the kitchen to cook if I kill me!"

Shi Yan: "If you don't enter, don't enter."

Liu Quan was shocked. He thought that Shi Yan was going to take out the previous gambling contract to talk about it again, and he had already made preparations in his heart to fight against Shi Yan for a long time.

Liu Quan stammered: "Old, boss, are you all right?"

Shi Yan said lazily: "Okay, just your brain, don't think about it, anyway, no matter what you do, I won't give you wages, why don't you do it?

I see you jumping around outside, top three by yourself, you can do it! I still earned it! "

Liu Quan said indifferently: "Boss, are you stupid? I have food, drink, and shelter now. I want to buy something and ask you to pay directly. Where can I spend my wages?"

Shi Yan was too lazy to talk to this nasty thing, so he drove people out, still a little puzzled: "I don't know if the cotton tossed by the cotton seed removal machine is soft and comfortable when it pops out?"

But now I can't control that much anymore. After the beginning of autumn, the weather in the capital is gradually getting cooler.

Autumn has come, will winter be far behind?

At this time, it is time for cotton to come in handy! Get ready early.

So in the winter of the thirteenth year of Qingyuan, when the first snow came, Shi Yan and the three wore warm cotton clothes, cotton shoes, cotton socks, soft and comfortable cotton gloves, and two fluffy cotton earmuffs on their ears. Dripping water into ice or eyelashes freezing, the three walked outside, not afraid of the cold, swaggering, ten

Divided idiots.

Shi Yan realized later and found that this kind of behavior was really stupid. Going outside for nothing, and wandering around meaninglessly, Shi Yan felt that something was wrong with him who promised to follow Wang An.

So he returned to the house, packed the memorial that he had prepared and a whole set of cotton products, and sent them to the palace together.

After sending him away, he shouted to the two big fools in the yard: "Liu Quan, turn out the pot I asked you to prepare, the sheep's head that was slaughtered yesterday is in pieces, let's have a fresh mutton pot today!"

When Liu Quan heard it, he didn't dislike Shi Yan for letting him into the kitchen again, and greeted Wang An to help prepare them. Bottom material.

Wang An did not forget to urge Shi Yan: "Boss, come quickly! Take out the condiments for you and put them away, and I'll wait for you to fry the base! Let Liu Quan learn a little by the side, and Liu Quan will come and give it to us in the future. Done!"

Liu Quan was still struggling with the frozen leg of lamb, and he laughed loudly: "It's not like we haven't eaten the best mutton pot in Wuweiju in the capital, so that's it!

I want to see today, how mysterious the boss is to say that there are good things in the sky that are not on the ground! "

Shi Yan rolled up his cuffs. The master was full of stance and seemed to be familiar with it. He instructed: "Set the fire, this will let you two buns experience the power of the thirteen incense of pepper and pepper!"

As the 18-flavor condiments prepared by Shi Yan entered the frying pan with a "thorn" sound, Liu Quan and Wang An felt that they had opened the door to a new world, and the previous cooking became dull in retrospect. .

At the other end of the palace, the emperor had a quarrel with several ministers at noon over the prevention and control of the snow disaster. He was in a bad mood, and he didn't eat a few bites of lunch. Relax.

After just a cup of tea, his face turned blue from the cold, his legs and feet were stiff, and he had to go back to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to drink strong **** soup to prevent the cold. The emperor was very upset.

At this moment, the **** beside him smiled and held a memorial: "Your Majesty, the memorial of Min Anbo."

Everyone in the Hall of Supreme Harmony knew that the emperor attached great importance to Min Anbo's book, and every time Min Anbo put up the book, he would give the emperor some fresh and interesting things. disappointment.

Sure enough, the emperor laughed after reading the book, and asked the eunuch, "What about the things that Min Anbo sent?"

Immediately, the nimble **** trotted to deliver the package sent by Shi Yan to the emperor.

forward.

Seeing that it was a set of clothes, shoes and socks with fine stitches and a very simple style, and a pair of things that looked like fingers, the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace were a little disappointed.

I think this is not the level of Min Amber.

However, the emperor was very interested and urged left and right: "Quick, put it on for me, I want to change!"

Putting on cotton-padded clothes, cotton shoes, cotton socks, cotton gloves and cotton earmuffs, His Majesty the Emperor, wearing a cotton-padded coat, likes no one, and regardless of the obstacles of the people around him, he walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony with a second stride and entered the wind. in the snow.

This time, His Majesty did not shrink his shoulders and hunch back, but walked with big strides. After walking back and forth a few times in the wind and snow, he felt a layer of sweat on his back, and then he strode back to the Hall of Supreme Harmony with satisfaction.

As soon as I entered, the maid served **** soup with strong flavor, and asked Your Majesty to keep out the cold. Who knew that His Majesty laughed and pushed the tray away: "No! I'm not cold at all, and I'm sweating all over!"

The **** who was close to him stepped forward to take a look, and it was indeed the case. He was rubbing His Majesty's palm.

His Majesty Long Xin was overjoyed, and immediately ordered: "Let the minister of the Ministry of Industry enter the palace to see me immediately, and let the commander of the Imperial Forest Army personally go out of the palace to visit Min Anbo's Zhuangzi, and retrieve the grain planting experience that Min Anbo has written over the past year. By the way, I brought back a few sacks of cotton, and I want to see it with my own eyes!"

When the person who passed the decree left, the emperor remembered that Min Anbo had done a big job quietly, and he hadn't had time to award the reward, so he waved his hand: "I remember that there are several Huangzhuang in the suburbs of Beijing. The one closest to Min Anbo Zhuangzi has been rewarded to Min Anbo!"

So when Shi Yan was halfway through eating the mutton hot pot, he instantly had 300 acres of Zhuangzi on hand, which was still the kind that could be linked with the current Zhuangzi.

Liu Quan said excitedly: "Boss, it's good, we were worried just now. The sheep we bought this autumn have nowhere to go after giving birth to cubs. Now, we'll just put the sheepfold over there! Perfect!"

Wang An said: "But the boss just said that there will be a batch of ducks in the spring. Is 300 acres enough?"

Shi Yan took a mouthful of fish **** in a fit of anger, and it was slippery and delightful, and only then did he have the time to talk to the two of them: "You guys are so swollen!

Last year, there was less than two acres of land in front of and behind the house in Taohua Village, which could support the three of us.

Now, just three hundred acres of land is not enough for you to toss? I just wanted to know, who gave you the courage to look down on the 300-acre Zhuangzi rewarded by His Majesty? "

Liu Quan smiled and poured wine for Shi Yan: "Boss, isn't that what you said, are we going to engage in large-scale farming next spring? I'm following your ideas, but you still blame me? We don't do this Bullying!"
