Farming game: raise cubs with equipment

Chapter 42
Yun Yiyi remembers that saltpeter can be dissolved in water, and it can also absorb heat, turning water into a crystallized state, thus forming ice cubes.

Although the weather is not as hot as before, it will take some time for the weather to cool down. In this era without electric fans, she plans to buy some saltpeter for storage, and then see what else she needs to buy.

Yun Yiyi wasn't sure if there was saltpeter sold in ancient times, she thought that there must be someone selling saltpeter in places that sold gunpowder, but after walking around, she couldn't find any place that sold gunpowder.

After asking a few people, no one knew what gunpowder was.

She was a little puzzled, and after walking for a while, she found another book store. Two cubs licked candied haws, pointed to the front and said, "Books."

It seems that they all know the first word.

Yun Yiyi was happy, "Yes, this is the book shop, do you want to read a book?"

Yan Xiaoshuang pouted her lips, "I don't understand."

Yan Dashuang said, "It depends on what my mother drew."

The family also bought a few books, and the two cubs read them a lot, but they didn't understand most of the characters, and then they lost interest in those books.

Yun Yiyi suppressed a smile and said: "Okay, then let's not watch it, let's go."

The two cubs nodded their heads.

At this moment, a voice came from behind, "Mrs. Yun, stay here."

Yun Yiyi turned her head curiously, she didn't expect to meet acquaintances in this county.

Ji Xun was wearing a green shirt, and his black hair was not tied up. He only picked up a few strands with ribbons of the same color, and let the rest loose.

He dresses much more casually today than in the past.

"Mr. Ji, what a coincidence." Yun Yiyi was a little surprised.

Ji Xun laughed and said: "Yes, meeting is fate, can I invite Madam to get together?" He seemed to feel that this was a bit abrupt, he paused and said: "We are partners after all, and I have some business matters and I want to have a meeting with Madam." Let's talk."

Yun Yiyi thought for a while and agreed that her album hadn't been found yet.

The two cubs were not in the slightest embarrassment of being tied up, and said in unison: "What a coincidence, Uncle Ji."

Ji Xun couldn't stop laughing, "Yeah, we're a coincidence too." He looked curiously at the rope tied to the two cubs, "What is this?"

Yun Yiyi waved her hand, "It's just an ordinary rope, I'm afraid the two of them will get lost."

Ji Xun found that the structure of her brain seemed to be different from that of ordinary people, and there were always something new.

You think it's ridiculous, but if you think about it carefully, it's not an innovation, and it works really well.

Ji Xun invites Yun Yiyi to drink tea. The name of the teahouse is Xiangming Pavilion, and there are many people in it, mostly young and old, with few women.

As soon as Yun Yiyi walked in, all the men turned their heads to look at her involuntarily. One was because there were few women here, and the other was because Yun Yiyi was really bright and attractive.

Then the two cubs followed in, Yan Dashuang said: "Mother, there are many people here."

The men's gazes were halfway back.

When Ji Xun finally walked in, the men all looked away, drinking tea when they should drink tea, eating peanuts when they should eat peanuts, chatting when they should.

Ji Xun is a frequent visitor here, and when the shopkeeper saw him coming, he warmly greeted him: "Mr. Ji, are you still the same?"

Ji Xun said gently: "I brought friends here today." He then asked: "Madam Yun, what do you want to drink?"

Yun Yiyi knew little about this tea, "It's fine."

Ji Xun blinked, and then offered to order tea for her.

They went to the private room on the second floor, and two women came in, holding teapots and performing tea art.

Yun Yiyi looked at a small cup of green tea in front of her, and drank it under Ji Xun's smiling eyes. It had no taste, just like ordinary tea, she still prefers to drink milk tea.

Ji asked: "Madam, what do you think of this tea?"

Yun Yiyi replied casually: "Very good, very good."

Yan Xiaoshuang sat aside, followed Yun Yiyi's example, took a sip, and nodded seriously: "Very good."

Yan Dashuang drank it in one gulp, feeling still thirsty, took the small cup of tea next to him and drank it in one gulp, "Uncle Ji, this water is too little, I'm still thirsty."

Ji Xun's smile was cracked, and he raised his chin suddenly to hide something, "I forgot," he called Xiaoer in a low voice, and ordered, "Put some more snacks and white water."

Small children are not suitable for drinking tea, as they are prone to dreaminess and insomnia.

As soon as Yan Dashuang heard that there was a snack, he straightened his back and straightened it.

Xiao Er quickly served another pot of boiling water and several plates of dim sum.

This small snack is delicate and lovely, there are only a few small pieces on a plate, and the portion is small, but the dim sum is filled with high-quality blue and white porcelain, and flowers are dotted on the pastry.

Now Yun Yiyi knew that what she was selling was not dim sum, but taste, and the price must be high.

Jujube cake, walnut cake, green mochi, osmanthus cake...

These cakes were made to be eaten with tea, and they were made sweet. After Yun Yiyi ate a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, she felt that the taste was delicate and extremely sweet, so she took a sip of tea.

Yan Xiaoshuang also followed her example, picked up a piece of pastry, tasted it, and took a sip of plain water.

This kind of small pastry is expensive in a small plate, which is not something ordinary people can afford. If it is Yun Yiyi, you can still pack it, but this little baby also looks calm, and it seems that he often eats these pastries.

On the other hand, Yan Dashuang was like a normal child. His eyes lit up when he saw the dim sum, and he ate everything one by one. If he couldn't hold the pastry, he ate it with his hands. He ate quickly, and he could finish a piece in two or three bites. Dim sum, but the appearance is excellent, and there is no spill on the clothes.

"Osmanthus cake is too sweet, put too much sugar, there is no fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, date cake is too hard, not tasty, walnut cake is okay..." Yan Dashuang almost finished the pastries on the table , started to evaluate with a small belly.

The smile on Ji Xun's face faded, he thought this child was normal just now?

But a child can name these pastries and obviously recognize them.He couldn't think of any other reason besides eating it often.

When Ji Xun met Yun Yiyi today, he really wanted to invite her to get together, but he suddenly changed his mind and wanted to test her.

As for engraving and printing, it is also in progress recently. Brother Ji has found a craftsman to work day and night. It is said that he has almost finished engraving a book, and the results will be seen soon.

But they have almost calculated the cost. Although the cost of engraving and printing is high, it is far less than before.Compared with the laborious copying of books by real people, they feel that this is simply too convenient.

Brother Ji made a rough calculation at the time, and if he could really replace manual copying with this woodblock printing technique, he hoped that the other party would sell him this technology.Yes, let their Ji family take full ownership.People who can come up with such a technology are definitely not ordinary people. Brother Tianji has also asked about the rich and nobles these days, but there is no one named Yun Yiyi.

However, Yun Yiyi didn't go to Ji Xun these days, making it impossible to start.

Brother Ji had never met Yun Yiyi before, so he guessed that she might be a country woman, or a widow with two children, but Ji Xun didn't think so.

It's not like that.

But if you look closely, she doesn't look like Miss Qianjin, and she is not at all twitchy in her demeanor.

It's really strange, this is the first time that Ji Xun can't understand a person, is it some kind of extraterrestrial expert, this guess is denied by Ji Xun again, after all, the other party is also very involved in the world.

He asked: "Madam Yun, do you live near here?"

Yun Yiyi originally wanted to say which village she lived in, but after thinking about it, it's better not to go into too much detail, "Yes."

Modern people are a little cautious, and they will not tell others their detailed address, and she is really afraid of the negative impact of this engraving and printing.

Although it is unfounded worry, she also has to keep a low profile.

Ji Xun was educated when he was young, and he has always been of high moral character. He would not make things difficult for others. Seeing that she was ambiguous, he did not force her, "Mrs. Yun has something important to do in the county today. I am very familiar with this county. If you need Help, Ji is willing to do his best."

She came to Japan today just to sell eggs and buy some other things.

Yun Yiyi asked: "Then do you know where sulfur, white phosphorus and other things are sold?"

Ji Xun nodded, "I know."

Yun Yiyi was overjoyed, "Then take me there quickly, I've always wanted to buy it."

Ji Xun was thoughtful.

After he found Xiao Er to pay, he took Yun Yiyi and left. Yun Yiyi noticed that Ji Xun had paid a small silver coin.

This place seems to be really expensive, obviously not full, it seems that the atmosphere and environment are all for the money.

Ji Xun led her across a street, pointed to an unremarkable grocery store and said, "There is sulfur here."

After he finished speaking, his eyes became a little strange. Didn't this woman buy jewelry and clothes when she came to the county?What to do with sulfur, this sulfur has two functions, one is that people who sell steamed buns add sulfur to steamed buns to make them whiter.Second, this sulfur can be used for bathing and treating skin diseases.But women seldom use it because of its extremely bad smell.

Even he would not bathe in this sulfur.

Ji Xun didn't think Yun Yiyi was either, so what did she buy it for?
Yun Yiyi not only saw sulfur here, but also saw some deep mountain soil and other substances.

The boss of this shop gave her an indifferent look, and didn't come up to sell things, but Yun Yiyi bought a lot in one go.

Ji Xun's eyes fell on her lightly, and wanted to ask her why she bought so much sulfur, but felt it was inappropriate, so he pursed his lips and remained silent.

Yun Yiyi seemed very happy when she bought what she wanted.

There is still about an hour before the agreed time, and she is about to meet up.

"By the way, Mr. Ji, did you find someone to help me carve my album?" Yun Yiyi asked.

She is still drawing a new album these days, and hopes to get the printed album as soon as possible.

About this matter, Ji Xun really forgot, he took the picture album back that day, a friend happened to come to visit, the friend's son accidentally peeped at the picture album, was fascinated by it, and insisted on borrowing it before leaving.

This is someone else's property, so Ji Xun and his friends naturally disagree, but the child is too noisy, otherwise he will not leave, he has no choice but to lend it to him for three days, but it has not been returned yet.

Ji Xun lowered his eyes, "Don't worry, I will never forget what I promised you. In another seven days, you can come to any bookstore to find me. By then, it will definitely be printed."

Yun Yiyi was very happy, "Then trouble Mr. Ji, I made an appointment with my friend to go back, so I'm leaving first."

Ji Xun nodded, thinking that today he was going to retrieve those picture albums, and then he was looking for someone to carve them overnight.
