It turns out that even if you play a game and do a task, you need to have some background knowledge.

Ivan's current identity as a returnee is fabricated according to the historical background of this era.

Whether it is now or in later generations, everyone knows that Zheng He went to the West seven times, and although there was a period of forbidden sea in the early and middle Ming Dynasty, in the middle and late periods, the sea trade began to prevail again.

Therefore, Ivan's identity as a returnee would not arouse suspicion at all.

As for the chaos in the Central Plains, it is better explained.

From 1628, Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng and others, due to the people's lack of livelihood, began to launch a peasant uprising in SX, and quickly expanded the scale of the uprising, and the war continued to the entire Central Plains.

After 1634, under the encirclement and suppression of the imperial army, a considerable part of the rebel troops were transferred to the HN.

Therefore, Ivan, who claimed to be a Shangqiu person, went to the West to escape the war and went to the West on the pretext of escaping.

As for why he said that his family was ruined and people died, it was naturally to avoid Dong Xiaowan asking too much.

But he made it up too realistically.

It was so real that Dong Xiaowan sighed.

She thought she was pitiful enough, but she didn't expect Derpy to lose her home.

It's so pathetic!

She began to comfort him: "It's okay, maybe your family has also fled the war, and when the war is over, they will go back." ”

"Well, that's all there is to it. ”

As a last resort, Ivan could only continue to act.

He began to change the subject: "Don't talk about this, let's start working, you call someone to buy some of the best green shrimp back, let's try to make a new product." ”

"I've already asked Xiaocui to take someone to buy it, do you want to make crystal soup and shrimp buns?"

Dong Xiaowan was a little excited again.

She remembered that Derpy had said yesterday that she would produce more expensive crystal soup shrimp buns, so she arranged for Cui to take someone to buy them early in the morning.

"No, make crystal shrimp dumplings instead. ”

Ivan changed his mind.

He changed his mind for a reason.

According to the view of northern Chinese, steamed buns are more like a dim sum breakfast, while dumplings are a type of staple food, or can be used as both a staple food and an early snack.

In this case, the approach is basically the same, why not change it to make dumplings that are more acceptable and of higher grade?

In the Guangdong Hotel, crystal shrimp dumplings are also one of the special dim sum, Ivan also roughly knows the method, he feels that with Dong Xiaowan's cooperation, he has slightly modified the crystal bun, and it should not be a problem to make a top new product.

The restructuring is very important, and Dong Xiaowan's cooperation is also very important.

He identified that Yuehai's crystal shrimp dumplings were only of the middle grade, which did not meet Ivan's current needs.

Here, he wants to sell crystal shrimp dumplings as a sky-high delicacy, so he will only launch them if he has reached the top grade or above.

"Oh. Dong Xiaowan responded.

In this regard, she listened to Ivan completely.

"By the way, call someone to move something with me. ”

Ivan remembered the powder and the pressure cooker.

Just in time, the Iron Bull arrived.

"Senior brother, let's go, help me move something. ”

Ivan took the two to the side room that the steward had arranged for him.

As he expected, the existence of that pressure cooker immediately caused Dong Xiaowan to exclaim.

In an age when everything is still handmade, where can you see such a beautiful modern craft as a pressure cooker?

"Oh, it's called a pressure cooker, and I bought it from the West at a high price. ”

This is exactly why Ivan wants to make up the identity of a returnee for himself.

Otherwise, there are too many things to explain.

But even so, Dong Xiaowan and Tie Niu were still stunned.

The pressure cooker was so round, the surface was so smooth, and the shape was so complex that they couldn't imagine what kind of master craftsman it would take to create such an exquisite pot.

Tie Niu asked tentatively: "This pot must be very valuable, right?"

"Oh, about two or three thousand taels of silver. ”

Ivan casually said a number.

He roughly estimated that two or three thousand taels of silver would be equivalent to a million in later generations.

If such a thing is sold in this era, this price will definitely make those rich people grab their heads.

In this day and age, it is definitely more than a work of art.

Alas, it's a pity that the system, in order to prevent him from cheating, forbids him to take modern things directly to copies and sell them for money.

Otherwise......

But this still stunned the iron bull.

Derpy, didn't you say you didn't have any money?

Why is it now Western, and thousands of dollars of treasure are casually shelved?

Dong Xiaowan was also stunned.

No wonder Derpy said it's not bad for money, it turns out to be true!

If this thing is sold, it will definitely be more than two or three thousand taels of silver!

Ivan's status as a rich man can be regarded as confirmed.

At the same time, she was also shocked.

After the fame, the rich man, which immediately made her have a certain awe of Ivan.

She originally had a lot of curious things to ask, but now she had some scruples.

Seeing the stunned looks of the two, Ivan began to change the topic again: "Let's go, move the things to Wanlou." ”

Wanlou is where Dong Xiaowan lives.

There is no way, some of the production sites have to be moved.

Even Dong Xiaowan was surprised by this thing, if it appeared in the kitchen, wouldn't it cause a sensation for everyone?

Maybe you'll get yourself killed by a broken pressure cooker!

That's not a good deal.

"Wouldn't it be too noticeable?"

Dong Xiaowan also reminded.

She was referring to the fact that wealth is not exposed.

Moving such a valuable thing to her really made her a little frightened.

Ivan had already prepared.

After all, these things he brought are from modern times, and they will definitely be very abrupt when they bring them here.

Therefore, it is necessary to remove some traces of modernity.

Long before entering the dungeon, he had already made some moves, such as replacing the original packaging bag of the powder with a cloth bag without any logo.

He casually picked up a large bundle cloth bag, handed a set of pressure cookers to Dong Xiaowan: "You take this." ”

But the texture of this velvet texture surprised Dong Xiaowan again.

She couldn't help but take a closer look.

Let's not talk about the texture.

This workmanship...... It has to be one of those master tailors, right?

She couldn't help but ask again, "This bag must be worth a lot of money, right?"

Ivan: "......"

This is already the cheapest cloth bag I've found in the supermarket, okay!

Alas, if I had known, I would have gone to the market and bought a few sacks!

Fortunately, I didn't pack those two bags of powder in woven bags, otherwise it would have surprised you even more.

"Oh, this thing doesn't know in the West. ”

He replied copically, picked up another flannel bag for sundries, and lifted the bag of fifteen catties of mung bean flour.

"Senior brother, you bring that bag of powder. ”

It can't be explained anymore, and the more you explain it, the more flaws there are.

It's better to leave.
