Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 232 Wang Xiaohu gained a lot this time

Take limestone for example. If they dare to make it and sell it, someone will come and snatch the recipe, and they won't be able to keep it. And charcoal, it is made exclusively by someone, not everyone can make it. If you want to sell it, and there is no one behind you, do you think others will let you get involved?

As expected, the Su family was once a family of officials, so they still know these principles. You can see that they do things in a very methodical way.

Su He taught Wang Xiaohu how to make glow-in-the-dark powder and asked him to follow him and make some. He also wrote down the steps, precautions, and the formula of the long-lasting glow-in-the-dark powder. However, they still have to experiment with the specific proportions themselves, and they should have no problem with this. There are many capable people in the general's mansion, but they just didn't think of this.

This has only been widely used in modern times in the past decade or so. In fact, someone in ancient times during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period painted a painting called "Painting of a Cow", in which the cow was painted with pigment containing luminous powder.

It wouldn't be a rare thing to appear in this era! It's just that people haven't discovered it yet. Su He knows that he has just started a new era. Luminous powder will be widely used in the future. In this world without electricity, luminous powder will be more useful.

She probably told Wang Xiaohu that the luminous powder can be mixed into other things, such as paint, so that it can glow at night. They need to try it out, and many things can be used with it.

Su He prepared a luxurious meal for Wang Xiaohu according to his own ideas, including roast chicken, braised pork rice, rice noodle barbecue, shrimp and tofu pot, West Lake vinegar fish, and finally lion head.

This feast made Wang Xiaohu and his friends very happy. Food is irresistible to most people. Especially in this era of food scarcity, people are mainly concerned about eating, so why would they bother to prepare these dishes carefully? Everyone was very satisfied with the meal.

Feng Dayuan and his men were once again thankful to be assigned to the Su family. The delicious food they ate over and over again made them feast on their appetites. It would be absolutely impossible for them to exchange with others now.

Suhe rice noodle is made of kudzu root powder and potato powder, which surprised them. They kept asking what this delicious rice noodle is made of.

Su He showed Wang Xiaohu and the others yam, saying that he found it in the city, and the store owner told him it was called yam. He didn't have many yam at home, and it was barely enough for his family. He asked them to find someone to find more, cut them into pieces and plant them, and the yield would be high. They like sandy soil, and using more animal manure to fertilize the soil would yield more. They can be planted twice a year in March and August, and can be eaten as food, which is very filling.

Wang Xiaohu asked Su He for two potatoes and prepared to send someone to find them. This thing can be planted on a large scale and can be used as both a dish and food. It is really a good thing. Su He asked them to find it and plant it on a large scale, and then wrote a recipe for them.

Wang Xiaohu had a great harvest this time. He returned to the border town with a full load. He was more and more satisfied with the Su family. He looked at the feast that Xiao Su He prepared for him. It was a dish he had never eaten before. She had put a lot of thought into it. She was a grateful child. Every time she came, she would prepare a big table of delicious food for him.

Before he left, the little girl handed him a small cloth bag, saying it was a storybook for them to read to relieve boredom. Wang Xiaohu knew that nothing she gave him was bad, so he kept it carefully.

They got on the bus, Wang Cheng drove the car, and Wang Xiaohu took out the package in the car, opened the book and read it. After reading it carefully, he found something amazing. These were all classic battles, and the military strategies in them were used by masters.

Every battle is the highest realm of the application of military tactics. Those battles seem to be right in front of you, vividly displayed. This is a rare military book. The general will be very happy to see it. He has led troops to guard the border city all his life and experienced countless battles. He regards military books as treasures.
