As for cocoa beans, as a man who loves chocolate, Shen An naturally knows what this means. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Shen, this is cocoa beans, mixed with water after crushing is a very delicious drink, but the taste is slightly bitter." Michael saw Shen An staring at the cocoa beans, smiled and reminded.

Oh, and it looks like they don't know how to make chocolate from cocoa beans, well, that's good news, and maybe they're going to be the first person in the world to make chocolate.

"Michael, do you have a lot of these cocoa beans over there?" Shen An asked.

"It's okay, the reserves are still very sufficient."

"In that case, I'd love to do business with you." Shen An planned to introduce the cocoa bean tree to the Jiang Dynasty through Michael, and if he only did cocoa bean business with the other party, it would be very restricted.

Michael's face flashed with joy: "We are very happy to do business with Shen." ”

After that, Shen An and the others continued to look at other things, and gained a lot, until something attracted Shen An.

Muskets!

There were a few muskets on a table that looked a little old.

Shen An casually picked up a musket, touched it carefully, took it easily, and played with it a few times.

Michael looked at Shen An in surprise: "Shen, do you know how to shoot muskets?" ”

"Well, I don't know, I've heard of this thing." Shen An was stunned, he had owned a gun before, although the state was very strict in this regard at that time, but with his means and financial resources, it was not very difficult to get it.

Jiang Chao naturally had a musket, and the musket manufacturing technology was still very advanced, and the imperial court also set up a special Shenji battalion to study this aspect, so Jiang Yingjie had no interest in this musket.

In the next time, a few people visited again, but then there was nothing that could attract Shen An, it was quite boring, and after a hasty browsing, Shen An and Ruth had a brief exchange and got a few muskets. These muskets are said to have been used by the English army, and their performance is not as good as before, but it is still possible to fire a few shots.

After that, Shen An got a few bags of corn, cocoa beans and potatoes, and Shen An didn't plan to take them for nothing, at least he had to pay some silver taels, but Ruth resolutely refused to accept the money, only saying that these rights should be a reward for Shen An. Shen An smiled bitterly, but since these Westerners were so generous, Shen An also politely refused and accepted, if there is a advantage, it is not to take advantage of it.

Muskets can be taken away, corn and potato cocoa beans can only be said later.

Back at home, Shen An went into the house to tinker with muskets, at this time Li Mingzhu was still busy in the restaurant, Xiaohe went home to prepare dinner, seeing Shen An doing things behind closed doors, Xiaohe did not disturb Shen An.

……

More than half a month has passed, and it has been raining almost all in Lin'an City for most of the month, first with a violent storm, and then slowly into a plum rain, filled with fog, accompanied by a trace of raindrops. In the land south of the Yangtze River, most of them are like this.

For most of the month, Shen An taught Li Mingzhu and Xiaohe to make shredded potatoes and potato chips......

Mo Wan'er's side Shen An also sent some potatoes, but Mo Wan'er was ingenious and used potatoes to make patterns that Shen An had never seen before, and the taste was not bad, so that Shen An always joked: "I said Wan'er, you graduated from New Oriental, and the food you cook is so delicious." ”

Mo Wan'er smiled and said, "Then where did Zhongping graduate?" Shen An mentioned the word graduation, and explained endlessly that Mo Wan'er only understood, of course, she naturally didn't know where it was or what it was in New Oriental.

"Me, I drive an excavator, Lan Xiang graduated, haha."

Talking and laughing like this, this day is also happy.

As for Lin Haitang, since the government has given up the search recently, recently, he has the idea of leaving Lin'an City.

Early in the morning of this day, Shen An got up to wash his face, but found that there was no hot water, and Xiaohe had already gotten up to boil the water at this time.

Li Mingzhu also pushed open the door, obviously puzzled.

"Little lotus, little lotus." Li Mingzhu shouted a few times through the door, but there was no response inside, and after thinking for a while, Li Mingzhu pushed open Xiaohe's door and walked in.

Shen An frowned, and also walked in.

When I entered the house, I could see Xiaohe lying on the bed, but Xiaohe didn't seem to feel that someone had entered the house and was still asleep.

Li Mingzhu walked closer and pulled open the mosquito net.

Xiaohe's eyes were closed, her face was pale, her lips were white and dry, her hair was tightly attached to her forehead because of sweat, and her breathing was fast and slow.

"Ahh Li Mingzhu was a little flustered, took out a handkerchief to wipe Xiaohe's sweat, and looked at Shen An anxiously.

Shen An stretched out his hand and put it on Xiao He's head, and his body temperature was very high.

"Find a doctor, find a doctor!" Shen An is not a doctor after all, and this is not like an ordinary cold and fever.

……

At noon, Xiaohe finally woke up, but his face was still not good, but he was able to ease up a little after all, which made Shen An and Li Mingzhu breathe a sigh of relief. The restaurant will be handed over to Mo Wan'er today, and a famous Langzhong in Lin'an City was invited just now, and it took a lot of effort to wake up Xiaohe.

"Xiaohe, you're scared me to death, what's wrong with you." Li Mingzhu wiped the sweat on Xiaohe's forehead, and her eyebrows were sad.

"Miss...... Xiaohe just suffered from some cold, and he could ...... by taking a few pairs of medicines Ahem...... You'll be able to jump around. Xiaohe barely showed a relaxed smile and couldn't help coughing.

"Xiaohe, Xiaohe, don't talk, just lie down......" Li Mingzhu looked at Xiaohe worriedly.

On the other side, Shen An asked Zhang Langzhong.

"Zhang Langzhong, what kind of disease does Xiaohe have, is it a cold?"

Zhang Langzhong frowned and said: "Dissatisfied with the son, in fact, I didn't see that the little lotus girl had any disease, but it was by no means a cold, I have never encountered such a situation in my life." ”

"Why, even Zhang Langzhong can't tell what kind of disease this is? That's how good it is. ”

Zhang Langzhong is famous in Lin'an City, with superb medical skills, if even Zhang Langzhong can't see Xiaohe's condition, then the other Langzhong in Lin'an City can hardly be broken.

"Alas, it's really a shame to say, but with my medical skills, I really can't tell that the little lotus girl is sick, and I can only prescribe a prescription to stabilize some of the little lotus girl's condition first, and for the rest, the son can only ask for another master." Zhang Langzhong sighed, really helpless.

Seeing this, Shen An also knew that Zhang Langzhong was afraid that there was nothing he could do, so he thanked Zhang Langzhong, and after Zhang Langzhong opened the prescription and paid the payment, he sent Zhang Langzhong out.

The situation on Xiaohe's side has not improved in the slightest, Li Mingzhu has taken over all the work at home, which was done by Xiaohe in the past, but she feels very tired at the moment.

"Xiaohe, it's all my fault, you are doing all the work at home, and I asked you to go to the restaurant to help, I made you tired, Xiaohe, you are okay, you will leave these jobs to me in the future......" Li Mingzhu choked, she and Xiaohe have deep feelings, in private, the so-called feudal social constraints did not affect the two of them, so it is said that mortals have feelings and will be emotional.

"What did the young lady say...... These are all things that Xiaohe should do, how can she let Miss do it? And...... And Xiaohe is just suffering from a little cold, it will be fine...... Belch...... Wow-" Xiaohe smiled softly, spoke intermittently, and finally, spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Ah, Little Lotus." Li Mingzhu ran to the bed, hugged Xiaohe, cried, and shouted to the door, "Xianggong, come and see Xiaohe......"
