The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 1097

[Chapter 1097: Baking Bricks]

The old village chief Lin Feng explained to Lin Tian.

“Oh? I told you that wild boars can’t be eaten?”

After hearing what the old village chief said, Lin Tian was very confused, so he asked the old village chief Lin Feng.

In Lin Tian’s memory, pork is the largest meat food that people need in daily life, and even wild boar is a wild delicacy that people usually pass on by word of mouth.

But the old village chief Lin Feng said that wild boars can’t be eaten, which really made Lin Tian think about it.

“Master Lin, wild boars really can’t be eaten. Pork is the lowest quality meat here. Basically, the nobles will not eat pork. Pork is only for us, the lowest-level slaves, when we need meat. Only when we need meat will we take out meat to satisfy our cravings.”

Hearing Lin Tian’s question, Lin Hu behind the old village chief Lin Feng also spoke to Lin Tian.

“Oh? Why is that?”

Lin Tian did think that during the days when he was an official, he had never seen pork on the table. What he usually saw were some mutton, beef and the like.

Now, Lin Hu and Lin Feng said that pork can’t be eaten again, and Lin Tian noticed it.

“Because whether it is wild boar or domestic pigs, their meat has a pig smell, which greatly affects people’s appetite and the taste of pork.

Therefore, those dignitaries do not eat pork. Only those of us who do not have the conditions will not dislike the pig smell. However, even if we eat too much, we will dislike pork.” The

old village chief Lin Feng explained to Lin Tian again.

“Lin Hu, if you don’t mind the trouble, then help me catch a wild boar. I want to see the pig smell on the wild boar.”

Lin Tian arranged to Lin Hu.

“Okay, sir.”

Lin Hu agreed and ran out the door.

“Village chief, since it is not the autumn harvest season yet, many of the laborers in Qian must have been idle.”

Lin Tian looked at Lin Hu running out the door and said to the old village chief Lin Feng.

“Yes, now basically most people are idle at home and have nothing to do.”

The old village chief Lin Feng heard Lin Tian’s inquiry, searched for a while, and said to Lin Tian.

“If I send them on a mission, will they be willing to help me?”

Lin Tian asked again.

“Of course they are willing. If it weren’t for you, most of the villagers in the circle would still be exploited by the landlords and wouldn’t have the life they have now. Now that you need them, they are definitely willing to help you.”

The old village chief Lin Feng said to Lin Tian.

“I want them to help me build some houses. I want to plant some crops in these houses. If they are willing to help, I can not only provide them with food, but also pay them.”

Lin Tian said to the old village chief Lin Feng.

“Thank you, sir. It’s a great favor to be able to provide them with food. Please don’t mention the wages. What kind of house do you need to build? And why do you want to plant crops in the house?” The

old village chief Lin Feng was very confused after hearing what Lin Tian said, so he asked Lin Tian. The

old village chief Lin Feng had never heard of planting crops in a house, so he was very confused after Lin Tian said it.

Lian Tian thought of the modern greenhouse in his memory, but since there was no plastic in this dynasty, he was afraid that he really couldn’t build a modern greenhouse.

If Lin Tian told them about the modern greenhouse, they might not understand, so Lin Tian said to build a house.

Lin Tian wanted to build a modern greenhouse. Winter was coming soon, and Lin Tian wanted to eat fresh vegetables, so he thought of a greenhouse.

What’s more, she was still facing the problem of planting next year. He also needed to study the hybridization of rice and wheat in this greenhouse next year, so it was necessary to build a greenhouse.

He had a certain understanding of greenhouses in his previous life, so it was not difficult to build a greenhouse, but the lack of materials became the main problem facing Lin Tian now.

If Lin Tian did not use transparent materials, the daily light required by the greenhouse would inevitably not be met, and there were no lighting tools such as electric lights.

Therefore, it was still difficult for Lin Tian now to build a greenhouse.

Lin Tian had also roughly understood all the transparent materials in this dynasty before.

So he knew about white agate and glass, but these things were extremely rare in this dynasty. Even a piece the size of a palm was priceless.

If he wanted to use this material to build a greenhouse, he might not be able to build a greenhouse even if he emptied the current Yan State treasury.

After thinking about it, Lin Tian found that compared to making transparent plastic, making glass was still simpler.

He had also come into contact with some chemical knowledge before, and knew the composition of glass and the proportion of the required materials, so the process of making glass only required continuous experiments.

After Lin Tian made up this idea in his mind, he was ready to go back and start studying the production of glass, which was just right for use in greenhouses.

“Gather a few smart and capable people first, and I will teach them some methods to let them help me build a more solid house.”

Lin Tian was just thinking, and the old village chief Lin Feng did not interrupt. Now that Ling Tian had a general idea in his mind, he said to the old village chief Lin Feng.

“Okay, sir.”

The old village chief Lin Feng agreed and walked out.

Soon, the old village chief Lin Fangfang found a few smart young men.

Lin Tian roughly explained the art of kiln firing to them. Tomorrow, he would not let them fire the kiln, but let them make bricks. You need bricks to build this house tomorrow. There is

no special material required to make bricks, nor is there any particularly difficult technology. You just need to master the method.

So after Lin Tian explained it to them, they understood it almost.

Lin Tian asked them to find clay and the like, and then signed and demonstrated it to them. After making the clay, Lin Tian put the first batch of bricks into a closed temporary kiln.

Although Lin Tianqian had never fired bricks himself, he knew the general steps, so although it was the first time to make it, it did not make Lin Tian feel particularly difficult.

After the first batch of bricks fired by Lin Tian came out of the kiln, when they saw the red bricks, everyone present except Lin Tian showed an expression of disbelief on their faces.
