Chapter 953 Li Xiyue is exposed
"How many?"
Zhou Yu smiled and nodded: "Master, I want to see what you have prepared today. If you can satisfy me, let alone one request, even ten of me can satisfy you."
Li Xiyue looked at Zhou Yu like the witch who brought disaster to the country and showed a charming smile that charmed all living beings: "The master speaks with gold and gold."
"Of course, let's go for a walk and let me see what good things you have come up with Xiyue."
Li Xiyue took Zhou Yu's hand and walked to the backyard. From the backyard, you can see the towering red palace wall across the river. You can see the majestic imperial city and feel the intimidation of the imperial authority.
The back garden, which was originally supposed to be used by the owner's family for rest and relaxation, has now become a place even more inaccessible than the front yard. Sheds have been erected everywhere to protect them from the wind and rain, and people are coming and going inside.
It often feels more lively than the front yard.
"I've met the master."
"Slave, please say hello to the master."
Seeing Zhou Yu and Li Xiyue appear, the people who were busy in the backyard quickly gave Zhou Yu a gift.
"Don't worry about me while you are busy, I'll just come and take a look." Zhou Yu smiled and waved his hand and went directly to sit in the pavilion in the backyard. Apart from the flowers, grass and ponds that cannot be set foot in, this pavilion can be regarded as one of the few in the backyard.
A place where its original function has been retained and carried forward.
The originally ventilated pavilion was surrounded by wind-blocking tents, making it look like a big tent. There was a stove and a couch inside to keep warm and rest, and there were two maids guarding it. It turned out to be the small study room created by Li Xiyue.
, was created just to be able to work in the backyard at any time.
After Zhou Yu took off his fur cloak and poured hot tea, Li Xiyue left the large pavilion with two maids. Not long after, she brought a lot of things with a few maids and placed them in front of Zhou Yu.
.
After putting down several plates, Zhou Yu and Cheng Jing standing beside them also looked up, while Li Xier smiled confidently.
"Master, look at these things."
Zhou Yu also squinted his eyes slightly at the things placed on several plates on the table. In fact, Zhou Yu knew exactly what Li Xiyue had done, and it was very close to modern perfume and soap products.
Perfumes and soaps have actually been around since ancient times. I’m afraid many people don’t know about rose dew, but it is one of the earliest perfume products. Its natural aroma is sought after by many people, and it is also one of the tributes of various tributary countries.
A very high-end luxury product. The distillation method of rose dew is very close to the modern perfume production method, but it is not precise enough. What Li Xiyue has come up with now is a slightly improved craft.
Some.
Perfume is definitely useful. Nowadays, it cannot be regarded as liquid gold, but it can also be regarded as liquid silver. This new type of perfume that Li Xiyue came up with not only has more flavors and higher purity, but is also more stable in quality.
, the maintenance time has also become longer. These are just based on the effects of perfume, but in fact, what Li Xiyue came up with was not perfume, but a set of handmade perfume processes, a simpler process that can produce perfumes in large quantities.
The same goes for soap. These are all things that the Ming Dynasty already had. What Li Xiyue asked people to bring up were very mature craftsmanship products.
But these were not done by Li Xiyue herself. Li Xiyue played maybe 5% of the role in this, and this 5% was still deliberately guided by someone. It just made Li Xiyue think that it was something she took the lead in creating.
It was also because of the craftsmen arranged by Zhou Yu in the backyard that the things could be made smoothly. In the final analysis, the appearance of these two things was actually because of Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu had already taken out the perfume soap craft manual and handed it over to Cheng Jing before, but Zhou Yu later asked Li Xiyue to start converting the contents in the book into products, and then gave the credit for improving the perfume soap craft.
On Li Xiyue.
Zhou Yu's purpose of doing this is actually very simple, to further expand Li Xiyue's influence and spread her influence.
Even Cheng Jing only thought that Zhou Yu was actively creating a weakness in himself, so that those forces who were dissatisfied with him would first focus on Li Xiyue to create a buffer and shape her into an extremely prosperous woman.
Zhuge and mascots are used for fishing.
But in fact, the fish Zhou Yu really wants to catch are not these rats in the gutter at all, but other travelers who may appear in this world.
After all, in addition to Zhou Yu himself, there is actually a Li Xiyue in this world, so it wouldn't be surprising that there might be three to five or eight more time travellers.
If there are other time travelers in this world besides Li Xiyue, then the movements Li Xiyue has made in the recent period will make other time travelers notice her. As long as someone is eyeing Li Xiyue, they will definitely be caught by Jin Yiwei and Dong.
The factory was keeping an eye on him. With Li Xiyue, a well-known time traveler, standing in front of him, all eyes could be drawn to Li Xiyue. Moreover, Zhou Yu also created a second time traveler, a fake one.
Arrangements to disguise oneself.
In addition to the perfumes and soaps that will soon be mass-produced, there is something else on the plate, glass.
Like perfumes and soaps, glass has been something that has been around for a long time, but now it is still called colored glaze instead of glass. Glazed accessories are also called medicinal jade and are specially worn by officials of the fourth rank or above. However, due to the firing method of glass, gradually
The spread also made people begin to use glass products on a large scale, which reduced the value of these things.
However, the manufacturing process of glass is still very backward. Compared with modern times, the output and quality are still far behind.
Nowadays, Yanshen Town, Zichuan County, Shandong Province has a world-famous glass manufacturing industry. Almost all villagers are involved in glass manufacturing.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In addition, there are also exquisite craftsmen in places such as Nanzhili and Fengyang who make colored glaze products, almost all of which provide services to the palace.
Zhou Yu had originally planned to get these things, but the priority was not high. Zhou Yu didn't pay much attention to them for the time being. However, among the things Li Xiyue took out, there were several perfect glass products.
Zhou Yu picked up a glass cup, looked at it carefully at the light source, and handed it to Cheng Jing who was standing next to him. Zhou Yu looked at Li Xiyue: "How did Xiyue get these things? This glass cup is also very beautiful.
value."
Li Xiyue said with a smile: "Master, do you only pay attention to the glass cup? This soap and soap are also made by me with hard work. They are better than the rose dew that I brought as tribute."
"Really?" Zhou Yu pretended to be surprised and picked up the two things and smelled them: "It smells so good, Xiyue, you made this too? What is the investment in making these things? Is the process cumbersome and can it be mass-produced?"
Li Xiyue sat next to Zhou Yu and held his arm: "Master, don't worry, these things have been tested many times by me. They are not complicated to make and the cost is very low. They can be manufactured on a large scale.
By then, these things will definitely earn me a lot of money. If I like these gifts, I can’t go back on what I just agreed to.”
"Okay, okay." Zhou Yu laughed and hugged Li Xiyue in his arms, and picked up another glass product from the table: "Xiyue, these glass products were also fired here? Are they so perfect and smooth?
How are glass products without defects made?"
Li Xiyue raised her chin slightly and said proudly: "This is even simpler, Master. As long as you keep stirring the liquid when making colored glaze, you can make those ugly stripes and bubbles disappear, and also remove the impurities inside to make the colored glaze."
Becoming more perfect, I just mentioned it to the master who made the glass, and now the glass is as perfect as it is now."
Zhou Yu expressed surprise: "So simple?"
Cheng Jing also looked incredulous.
"It's that simple." Li Xiyue nodded, pursed her lips and smiled: "Sir, this kind of colored glaze may make you money."
"Yes, of course I can. You can make a lot of money for me." Zhou Yu laughed heartily: "Xiyue, you are really my lucky star."
Li Xiyue looked at Zhou Yu with affectionate eyes: "I don't dare to be a lucky star. It is my greatest luck that I can do something for the master. It is my blessing that the master likes me."
"No, Xiyue." Zhou Yu hugged Li Xiyue and said seriously: "You are my lucky star."
Li Xiyue smiled brightly and pointed to other things on the table: "Master, these are not the most important things. You look at the rest and then praise me."
"Okay, okay."
Zhou Yu looked doting on him.
"Master, please try this." Li Xiyue picked up something and handed it to Zhou Yu, but Zhou Yu had actually seen the thing in Li Xiyue's hand just now...noodle cake.
It's not a pancake made of flour, but a pancake made of flour, the kind of instant noodles.
Before Zhou Yu came here, he didn't know that Li Xiyue had actually made this thing. Of course, it is not difficult to make this kind of pancake. As long as it is steamed and fried in a certain order, it is not that complicated.
"What a unique taste." Zhou Yu took a bite and nodded with a smile: "Xiyue has developed a new pastry."
Li Xiyue smiled without saying a word and divided the remaining noodle cake into two parts. One part was brewed with hot water, and the other part was wrapped in clean kraft paper and crushed into pieces: "Master, try it again."
"Um?"
Zhou Yu also cooperated with the performance, watching Li Xiyue put the dried vegetables and a little salt into the bowl and his expression gradually became serious: "Xiyue, this kind of bread can be made on a large scale, how difficult is it to make?
.”
"Sir, it's as simple as steaming steamed buns." Li Xiyue smiled and said, "Is this thing useful to you, master?"
"It's useful, and it's of great use." Zhou Yu nodded slowly and said, "Xiyue has really made a great contribution this time, my dear companion."
Cheng Jing nodded and was about to leave to see the place where this pancake was made. This thing is simply a natural military ration, so I had to go and see what it was about.
"Master, there are still more." Li Xiyue continued to speak and placed the last four porcelain vases on the plate in front of Zhou Yu.
"What is this, allicin, penicillin, berberine, artemisinin?"
Li Xiyue said: "Sir, artemisinin can treat malaria. Allicin and penicillin have good therapeutic effects on carbuncles, gangrene, boils, carbuncles, heat poisoning, swelling and pain. Huanglian also has similar effects, but specifically
The usage still needs to be tested by a doctor. Artemisinin is extracted from Artemisia annua, allicin is extracted from garlic, and berberine is extracted from Huanglian..."
Cheng Jing suddenly said: "Penicillin is extracted from green plums?"
"No." Li Xiyue covered her mouth and smiled: "Manager Cheng is really good at joking. Penicillin is the part of the ashes on the bedside of widows that ancient books say can cure diseases. It has the best effect but is the most difficult to make."
Zhou Yu couldn't help but glance at Li Xiyue: "Xiyue, you are really my lucky star. You are knowledgeable and can lead people to make so many useful things."
"No." Li Xiyue shook her head and said, "I just read some ancient books and learned some things from my teacher. If you want me to do it by myself, I will definitely not be able to do it. I can make it."
The craftsmen in the family who made these things are the ones who have the greatest credit. I just gave them a hint, but I didn’t expect them to actually make the things. Their contribution is comparable to that of me, sir. Don’t forget to reward them."
Zhou Yu took a deep look at Li Xiyue and suddenly smiled: "No one can compete with Xiyue for his greatest contribution. If it weren't for Xiyue, how could these things have appeared? Indeed, as Xiyue said, they are all divine objects, and the craftsmen deserve the greatest credit.
Naturally, I will reward you, but Xiyue, I will not forget your reward. Just tell me what Xiyue wants."
Li Xiyue rested her head on Zhou Yu's shoulder, and said with affectionate words: "As long as Xiyue can stay with the master, it is the biggest reward. Xiyue doesn't care about other things, but the master's family is now
It's getting smaller and smaller. Can you please give Xiyue a bigger garden?"
Zhou Yu groaned, and Cheng Jing said from the side: "Master, I will go and plate up both sides later, then circle a piece of land and send the craftsmen to build a big mansion."
"I'll give you another Xiyue Emperor's Mansion. I'll help you choose one."
"Yes, sir."
Zhou Yu nodded and looked at Li Xiyue, saying: "I will give you all of Zhuangzi's courtyard, but this is not a reward. Xiyue, since you don't want anything now, you owe it to me. If you want anything, tell me when you want it."
"Yes." Li Xiyue smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, sir."
Cheng Jing handed over his hand and said: "Master, Miss Xiyue, everything at hand is of great importance and needs to be treated with caution. The old slave suggests dispatching Jin Yiwei and Imperial Guards to strictly guard the surroundings to prevent such important things from being stolen by villains."
