Chapter 6 Into the City
The weather is getting colder and colder, although Liu Feiyun's body is in this era, but his soul is grown up in the modern greenhouse, air conditioning and heating are good things, but this also makes the human ability to withstand the cold weakened little by little.
In fact, in ancient times, mountain people lived better than ordinary farmers in winter, and they were able to obtain a lot of animal fur through hunting, adding some ability to protect against the cold.
It's a pity that Lijiashan Village, where Liu Feiyun is located, is not so good, most of the furs are exchanged for money to buy food, and they are wrapped in thick linen clothes, as long as they are not hungry, they can roast the fire and boil it for so many years.
Although he is an expert in genetics, he has also gone to high school and college, and he still understands the basic knowledge of physics.
Even if you don't get poisoned, if you're not careful, most of the house is still a wooden structure, and it's not good to burn.
As a modern person, the solution is very simple, get a coal stove and a chimney. Although it can't completely solve the safety hazards, I don't know how much better it is than using a brazier directly.
There could have been a better option, and that was the hot ondol. But Liu Feiyun has only heard of it, and he has never even seen the real thing, how to control the temperature is a big problem, so he has no choice but to give up at the moment.
Since the coal stove has been chosen, it is necessary to implement it as soon as possible. He can't strike iron, this can only be done by someone, it is best to make the stove and install it before winter comes, so that he can live a comfortable winter.
On this day, Liu Feiyun followed Li San and several other villagers into the city, seeing that winter was coming, everyone needed to prepare more food in case of emergencies, maybe there was a sudden heavy snowfall, and it was not good to go out in the mountains.
"Feiyun, let's go to Dongshi to deal with these mountain goods in exchange for food, are you with us or go shopping first, I'll let Xiaoliu accompany you." Li Sandao.
Xiao Liu is the child of Li San's family, his full name is Li Liu, he is older than Liu Feiyun, has a simple personality, and does not like to talk. Liu Feiyun doesn't have much contact with him, to be exact, he generally doesn't take the initiative to deal with others, most of them are acquaintances, but they are not familiar with them.
Liu Feiyun refused: "Uncle Li, no need, I'll go around alone, and I'll meet at the city gate at noon." ”
"Okay." Li San didn't object, such an adult, naturally it was impossible to lose it, just walk back by yourself.
Before parting, Liu Feiyun asked about the location of the blacksmith shop, and after parting, he went there directly, first determined the matter of the stove and the chimney, and then took a good look around.
"Boss, is the boss in there?" Liu Feiyun found the Guo family's blacksmith shop and shouted inside, but there was no one in the shop, and it seemed deserted.
"It's coming, it's coming." The voice came from the back room, and soon a middle-aged man in hardcover with a naked body appeared, his face was a little black, he wiped his face with a rag that was also blackened, and said to Liu Feiyun enthusiastically: "This little brother needs something, the quality of the things created in this store is absolutely guaranteed." ”
"I don't sell anything, do you accept customization here? Help me build something. ”
Originally, when Liu Feiyun said this, the smile on the boss's face froze, but soon overflowed again: "Accept, accept, I don't know what the guest officer wants to build, I don't dare to build weapons." ”
Weapons are a taboo in any era, and they generally cannot be built without approval, but secretly, who knows, it all depends on the situation.
What Liu Feiyun wanted to build was definitely not illegal, he took out a piece of paper from his arms, which had three views of the coal stove and the chimney, and of course there was an intuitive diagram.
"Boss, this is the thing, can you build it?"
The owner of the blacksmith shop wiped his pants with both hands, and then carefully took the paper handed by Liu Feiyun, he couldn't understand the three views, but he barely knew the visual diagram, so he asked: "Guest officer, can you tell me, I don't understand very well." ”
"No problem."
Immediately, Liu Feiyun explained to him, such as how to look at this picture, as well as the size. finally explained to him that maybe the boss's three-dimensional senses were weak, he made the boss understand through visual drawings and then through hand gestures.
Now that he figured it out, the boss thought for a while and said, "No problem, this is simple." ”
"How long will it take to build it, and what about the price?" Liu Feiyun didn't want this thing to be built for ten days and half a month.
"Tomorrow, these two things require a lot of iron, so the price may be more expensive, a hundred wen." In fact, the boss mainly looked at Liu Feiyun's appearance as a son-in-law, and it was estimated that he was not familiar with the world, so he took risks to make more money.
Liu Feiyun didn't know the market, and thought it was really such a price, after all, smelting in ancient times was not like modern times, so he directly agreed: "Okay, this is a deposit, make ten sets for me." ”
"Okay, no problem, tomorrow, tomorrow before noon, you can make it all, you can come and get it then."
Ten sets, one set of 100 Wen, that is the consistent money, he may not be able to earn so much for more than a month, in his eyes, Liu Feiyun has properly become a big fat sheep.
Liu Feiyun left the general payment, that is, 500 Wen as a deposit, he was not afraid that the boss would backtrack and swallow up the money, the ancient people were not stupid, although they were greedy, but they knew what kind of bottom line should be in what industry.
The business is finalized, and the next thing is to take a good look around the county, this is the first time he has entered the city.
Liu Feiyun knew that this place was called Qi County, but he didn't know his specific location, and everyone didn't mention the layout of the country in their usual chats.
It's quite lively, people come and go, and this county is not worse than modern one.
The stalls on both sides of the street, the vendors kept shouting, and there were many delicious snacks, which were the most natural ingredients, Liu Feiyun couldn't help but buy some to try, they were not expensive, and they were generally at the price of one penny or two.
After this period of time, Liu Feiyun also paid attention to the exercise of the body, but after all, he was still not as good as a woman, although he was curious enough about this, but his feet were already a little sore, and he was ready to find a restaurant to taste the food of this world.
He doesn't have much money, what he has accumulated over the past few days, he has just spent 500 Wen, and 500 Wen is left for tomorrow payment, and the rest is only the same amount, he can only order a few side dishes.
However, I almost understand the general development of the diet in this world, steaming and frying have started, but there are not so many tricks, it is no wonder that the old man Li Geng at home now comes to eat shamelessly every day.
He didn't dare to call the wine, the main thing was that it was too expensive, and the wine in the hotel would not be too ordinary, so a pot of wine, less than a pound, would cost 100 yuan, and he couldn't afford it.
After eating and drinking, he stopped some interesting things, he also rested almost, and he also had a plan for the next trip, that is, to inquire about coal, I believe that coal must be there, but I don't know what the price is.
In ancient times, when it was necessary to buy things, Liu Feiyun knew that it was to find a tooth shop, similar to a modern intermediary business organization.
No, as soon as Liu Feiyun thought of this, he looked up and saw a shiny signboard, which read: Qian's Tooth Shop.
Well, it seems that many of the shops in this place like to be named after their surnames.
When he entered, a small servant immediately greeted him: "Such a guest officer, I don't know what I need?" ”
Liu Feiyun got straight to the point and said: "Do you know a thing that can burn fire and is as black as a stone?" ”
"Oh, guest officer, you're talking about charcoal, the little one knows, I don't know what you want?"
"I want to buy some, I wonder if you can let me see if it's the one I want?"
In the face of Liu Feiyun's request, Xiao Wu thought it was normal and said: "No problem, our owner happens to have a shop that sells charcoal and charcoal, I'll take you to have a look." ”
"Okay, lead the way."
The shop is next to this tooth shop, and this piece of shops with several items is owned by this tooth shop, involving many industries.
The little servant quickly brought up a piece of coal, in his words, charcoal, and said, "Guest, is this it?" ”
Liu Feiyun took it and cleaned it up and looked at it, it was almost the same as the coal in his impression, it should be it.
"What's the price?"
"Thousands of pounds and hundreds of words, I don't know how much the guest officer needs?" Seeing that Liu Feiyun really had the intention of buying, the little guy was even more enthusiastic.
At such a price, he still doesn't understand the market, but he feels that it is still very cheap, so he immediately decided: "Then be consistent first, is it responsible for delivery?" ”
"If it's in the city, we deliver it for free, but if it's outside the city, we need to add another ten yuan per thousand catties if we send it."
There is no free shipping service, bad reviews. But he couldn't get it back himself, so he had to cut his waist again.
After doing these things, he didn't have the heart to go shopping anymore, and in his previous life, he was not a person who liked to go shopping.
Liu Feiyun came to the gate of the city, there were already people from Lijia Village, a little old man, a generation older than Li Sansan, Liu Feiyun stepped forward and greeted honestly: "Grandpa Li is good." ”
It's a very versatile title.
"Feiyun is good, how is it, is it fun in the city?" Li Xiaonong said with a smile.
"It's okay, why did Grandpa Li wait here so early, did he buy all the things?" Liu Feiyun said.
Li Xiaonong raised a small bag in his hand and said, "I just bought some salt, and there is no shortage in other homes." ”
Then Liu Feiyun asked about the information of Li San and the others, and Li Xiaonong told him that he knew.
"They should be coming soon, just in time to get back to lunch."
Saying that Cao Cao Cao arrived, Li San and a group of people appeared in their field of vision, followed by a horse, which did not need to be guessed to be food, and there may be some other daily necessities.
It took about half an hour to get back to the village, and the road was really not easy. And the convoy behind was not only Li San and them, but also ten cars of charcoal belonging to Liu Feiyun, which was even bigger than Li San and them.
At first, they didn't understand whose car it was, but after arriving in the village, they understood, Li San was puzzled by Liu Feiyun buying so much charcoal: "Feiyun, why did you buy so much charcoal?" ”
"You'll know when the time comes." Liu Feiyun said mysteriously.
Everyone helped Liu Feiyun unload the truck and pile the charcoal into his family's warehouse, and then Liu Feiyun smiled and sent the group of people who sold the charcoal away.
Liu Feiyun felt embarrassed, and the little guy kept complaining: "It's a loss, it's a loss, I knew that the road was so difficult, I would definitely have to add money." ”
How could Liu Feiyun add any more money, and even gave them an eviction order without giving them saliva to drink, and said apologetically: "It's hard, it's hard, be careful on the road." ”
