Chapter 304: Busy Procurement
Mobile reading
Ye Qing thought that the pot of the ancient hot pot was also made of brass, so he also wanted to use brass to make the box.
This iron sheet is easy to rust, not suitable for making ice boxes, the bronze is too heavy, and it is also easy to rust.
The shopkeeper of the blacksmith shop was taken aback, and asked curiously: "The price of brass skin is expensive, girl, what are you going to do with so many boxes?"
And this brass skin is equal to the price of 10% of silver, if you make so many big boxes, it is estimated that it will cost a hundred taels of silver. ”
What the?
A hundred taels of silver!
Hearing this, Ye Qing was so shocked that he almost sat on the ground with a fart~ share.
It took a long time for Ye Qing to come back to his senses, and then he immediately thought that earlier, brass was still mixed into gold ingots as gold in some places, and it was natural that the price was expensive.
Porcelain can also be used, but porcelain pots are difficult to get, and thin porcelain pots are even more difficult to buy, and other things are made of slow heat conduction, which is not suitable for making large ice cubes at all.
Is it made in a bowl? It's not good to put it in the ice cellar after that.
Ye Qing quickly figured it out, some simple things that seemed to her were really not something that ordinary people could play in ancient times, and it was not an exaggeration to say that what she wanted was luxury.
Thinking about it, I originally thought that a few tin boxes would cost a tael of silver at most, but now it seems that these boxes can be made to buy a small house.
Ye Qing thought for a while, the iron box is easy to rust, it is easy to rust, it is a big deal to brush some lacquer in the future, there are many ancient lacquerware used to hold food, and even in modern times, are there no chopsticks painted with lacquer?
"Then I'll make tin boxes, well, make some more boxes half a foot high and half a foot long, so let's have 10 of them!
By the way, where are the barrels sold, and do you know where saltpeter is sold? ”
Seeing that Ye Qing had to make a lot of boxes, the shopkeeper of the blacksmith shop naturally agreed again and again, knowing that Ye Qing was still going to buy wooden barrels, so he pointed her to which shop to go to, as for where saltpeter was sold, he didn't know.
Ye Qing didn't continue to ask, saltpeter can make ice, if she asks too much, it will inevitably make people suspicious, she made these boxes and asked for saltpeter.
After thinking about it, he still needed a few big iron pots to open a lo-mei shop, so Ye Qing ordered three large iron pots with a diameter of four feet with him.
paid the fixed money, and then Ye Qing followed his instructions and went to the carpenter's shop.
She went to the carpenter's shop, and ordered two large wooden tubs, one the size of a bath barrel, and ten of the same kind that were usually used to carry water.
If you want so much, you naturally need to open a store, pay the fixed money, and say that when it is done, it will be sent directly to her house, and Ye Qing went to the pharmacy again.
At the pharmacy, I bought some spices for making braised vegetables, and asked Dr. Zhou about saltpeter.
I didn't expect that saltpeter was actually used for medicinal purposes in their place, and there were more Taoists, so they used saltpeter for alchemy.
And saltpeter has to go to Jianzhou to buy it, where there is a workshop approved by the government that specializes in making fireworks and firecrackers, but Ye Qing knows that it is saltpeter, black powder.
However, saltpeter is not very cheap in Jianzhou, and the cheap saltpeter is on the Sichuan side, but it is transported here, and the price is a little more expensive.
Ye Qing secretly stuck out her tongue, it seems that making ice is not as simple as she thought.
However, she really needs a lot of ice, and she will have to buy it when she has the opportunity in the future, so now she can only buy it at the ice shop in the town.
Fortunately, she still has space on her own, and there is no big problem in keeping some ingredients fresh.
