In fact, the materials just mentioned by Ma Qiang can already be used to make products that are very similar to toothpaste in later generations, and they can also be used to make glycerin. Yes, that is the glycerin that can be used to make wine, be used as explosives, and can be used as medicine.

Ma Qiang doesn't want to use a big killer like dynamite now, but he is still good at brewing wine and making medicines, which Lu Qingning needs for his illness.

Hmm... although making medicines and making things made from explosives are both the same thing.

Nitroglycerin.

After hearing what Ma Qiang said, Lu Qingcheng and others discussed with each other first, and then said, "There is no fat meat in the village anymore. The limestone is in my uncle-in-law's house. What is konjac? And what is mint?"

"No fat?" Ma Qiang was a little embarrassed. Should he not ask Sister Hu to help him catch a wild boar?

"Everyone is short of fat. The fat will not be left. It has been refined." Guo Jin explained, "The fat of the bear that was killed yesterday should have been refined into oil. Only the residue is left. Everyone needs to eat it slowly."

.”

"Just grease!" Ma Qiang thought he had eaten it all, but it turned out that it was all hidden. He was just the fat of fat meat.

Speaking of bear oil...well, it's quite luxurious.

I’ll stick with lard from now on.

In fact, think about soybean oil, although no one in this era has discovered that soybeans can be extracted for oil.

"As long as grease is enough? That's true. I can take out the ones I have at home." Lu Qingcheng betrayed the organization immediately. I don't know if Lu An would want to cry if he knew about it. He wants to do some oil and water these days.

It's not easy.

"And from our family!" Lin Zhi was the second to express his intention to betray the organization, and looked at Ma Qiang happily, waiting for the reward.

Ma Qiang touched Lin Zhi's head as a reward, and then said, "I will record the things I brought out from home. When I finish the work and go to the city to buy the money, we will divide it according to how much everyone contributed."

money."

With that said, Ma Qiang looked at the Guo Ping family who was drying a lot of herbs and said, "Mint and konjac are both plants. I wonder if Uncle Guo knows that."

Guo Ping is the only one among the five in Lin Huan who knows medicine, so he often finds some herbal medicines to prepare.

Ma Qiang first learned about mint from Green Arrow chewing gum, but in fact mint is one of the most common medicinal materials in traditional Chinese medicine and is widely distributed.

Liu Hui was responsible for smashing the limestone and then going to the mill to grind it into finer pieces. Lu Qingcheng and Lin Zhi went to get the grease, and Ma Qiang followed Guo Jin to find Guo Ping to ask about konjac and mint.

The two walked all the way to the flat land outside the village, where dozens of people were digging the foundation to prepare for Ma Qiang's house.

"Ma Lang, why are you here? I heard from Brother Lin that you were going to make some toothpaste? Is it ready?" Guo Ping asked strangely when he saw the two approaching.

"No, making toothpaste requires some medicinal materials, mainly mint. If not, honeysuckle will also work. In addition, I don't know if Uncle Guo knows about konjac, which has a huge rhizome, purple flowers and a peculiar smell. Maybe

Not by that name." Ma Qiang replied, casually looking at the construction site.

Looking at it, Ma Qiang realized that the house he was going to build was completely different from what he had imagined. The area where dozens of people were working seemed to be seven or eight hundred square meters. How big a house was this!

Developed!

In fact, houses in ancient times were big, and the land was not very valuable after all.

"Mint, we don't have much of this stuff here, but I still have some in the medicine box, and I also have honeysuckle, so you and I can get it. As for the konjac you just mentioned, I have never heard of the name, but you

The characteristics mentioned remind me of a plant in the south called konjac. We don’t grow this plant here. You need to go to Jingzhou or Yangzhou to get it. I heard that there are some in Xuzhou." Guo Pingzheng said, each person pinching the ear of another person and walking away.

come over.

"Ma Lang, I brought you my unlucky son." The person he was talking about was Yue Liang, and the person in Yue Liang's hands was Yue Yang.

"It hurts, Dad, it hurts!"

"I still know it hurts! The toothpaste that Ma Lang is making is for the benefit of the village. Didn't you hear that everyone else wants to go? You are still unwilling to go! Do you know what a blessing this is? I am usually too much

I love you so much, I have to beat you to death this time!"

Saying that, Yue Liang took off his straw sandals and wanted to hit Yue Yang.

"Uncle Yue, you can't help it. If Brother Yueyang doesn't want to, forget it. It's a good thing that he has his own ideas."

Ma Qiang naturally knew that this was Yue Liang venting his anger on him, but he felt that it was unnecessary, and it wasn't because there was no one, and if Yue Yang really didn't like it, asking him to do it would spoil the atmosphere.

Yue Liang opened his mouth, but finally vented his anger on Yue Yang and kicked Yue Yang.

"Ideas? He just knows how to eat! What ideas can he have?"

"What's wrong with eating! Isn't the purpose of life for people to eat and drink?" Yue Yang sat on the ground and shouted unconvinced.

Hearing the noise here, everyone who was working stopped and looked at Yue Yang's unconvinced look, and couldn't help laughing.

"You're such a loser!"

Yue Liang was really angry. He raised his shoes and continued to fight. He knew the importance of a craft very well. He relied on his blacksmithing skills to gain a foothold in the army. Now what Ma Qiang wants to teach is the legendary

It is a secret that is not passed down, and I heard that the things made are very valuable, and the children of several brothers are involved in it. If my own children fall behind, what should I do in the future?

I pity the hearts of parents in the world.

"Ma Lang, please don't stop my second brother. If this kid doesn't get beaten up, who knows what will happen in the future!" Lin Huan also walked over at this time and snorted.

"Lin Lizheng, let's first listen and see what Brother Yueyang wants to do. Maybe he has some big ambitions."

"Okay, tell me! What do you want to do? You are not willing to blacksmith or hunt even if you are asked to do it on weekdays. What do you want to do?"

It seems that Yue Yang was beaten not just because of Ma Qiang.

Yue Yang tilted his mouth, shouted in pain and rubbed his head, and then said loudly, "I want to learn cooking from Gao Yu and make delicious food!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Everyone laughed even harder. Gao Yu, the cook who was preparing food not far away, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, brother Yue, or give Yangzi to me. I promise not to hide anything."

"You!!" Yue Liang's hands were shaking with anger. "Is this your ambition?"

"What's wrong with cooking? If I make delicious food, everyone will be happy. If everyone is happy, I will be happy..."

This speaks volumes of dedication.

If Ma Qiang hadn't known that Yue Liang was greedy, he would probably have believed it.

"In that case, I have a recipe here that needs some materials. Are you willing to help?" Ma Qiang suddenly remembered that he still owed Sister Hu a dish. Sister Hu was leaving soon, so he couldn't break his promise.

.

"Fangzi?" Yue Yang looked at Ma Qiang doubtfully.

"It's a delicious dish called sweet and sour pork. This sweet and sour pork is sweet and sour, tender and delicious. How about it? Do you want to try it? I can tell you how to make it~~" Ma Qiang shrugged his eyebrows

, Yueyang suddenly had the illusion that Ma Qiang had two horns growing on his head.

"How...how to do it."

"Need...these...and then go find these...if not, just need these..." Ma Qiang whispered into Yue Yang's ear, then stood up and asked, "In this way, you understand

Alright?"

Yue Yang asked excitedly, "Is it really delicious?"

"Of course. If it doesn't taste good, why would I put so much effort into preparing it for you?"

"Okay! I'll find it!"

"If you find it before dark, I will teach you how to make this dish."

"Then I'll go now." Yue Yang got up immediately, and then looked at Yue Liang beside him with a little fear, "Dad..."

"Come on, go quickly. Since it's Ma Lang's order, just do what Ma Lang said!" Yue Liang said, closing his eyes and shaking his hand.
