A few more steps forward, a stall with a variety of beautiful lamps appeared in front of me.

The group finally saw the first thing they wanted most after entering Thousand Mountains City this time.

That's the kind of glass lamp that was lit yesterday at the door of those small shops!

"The boss is... What do you call it? ”

Li Gui and a few others crowded in front of the stall, pointed to the lamps and asked.

But they've never seen it before, so they don't know what it's called.

What is the wrong name, and it is laughed at by the locals.

The owner of this stall saw at a glance that these few were not mortals, and immediately greeted them with a smile.

"A few sons must be coming to our Thousand Mountains City for the first time!"

"Ahem, well, yes......"

Li Gui and the others glanced at each other, and then nodded.

"Ha, I've never seen this kind of lamp, it's normal."

The boss said lightly, but with great pride.

You must know that in this era when there are no electric lights, the demand for lighting at night is still very strong.

In places like Nanyun Kingdom and Yanyun Sixteen Cities, rich families use candles to illuminate at night.

Of course, candles are also graded, and the candles made of whale oil used by princes and nobles have high brightness.

And it is very resistant to burning, and it does not produce black smoke when it is not burned, and there is no peculiar smell.

It is a very high-end lighting tool, while the wealthy merchants and small and medium-sized families of ordinary points use butter candles for lighting.

The brightness of this candle is also okay, it is relatively not very resistant to burning, and it will produce a certain amount of black smoke when burning, and it also has a great smell.

As for the homes of ordinary people, they can only be illuminated by vegetable oil lamps.

The brightness is very low, and it is still smoky after a long time, even if it is the cheapest lighting tool, many poor people are still reluctant to do it.

In the next place, the poor are the poor, and they can only be lit by torches.

Lighting torches, although the fire is very large, but it is very general for lighting, and it is easy to produce a lot of oil smoke, which is easy to cause fire.

So in fact, for most people, they need a lighting tool with high brightness and practical durability.

"This is the horse lantern invented by our city lord, also known as the air death wind lantern!"

"It's called a horse lantern because it won't go out even if it's placed on a galloping carriage."

"As for the air dead wind lamp, it is the name of our people, that is, no matter how strong the wind and rain are outside, it will not affect the lighting of this lamp."

As he spoke, the stall owner picked up a lantern from the stall and covered it up for a few young masters.

This lamp is a basic model, which is not quite the same as the square one they saw yesterday, and is obviously more concise.

There is a handle on the top, an iron hoop on the bottom, and a transparent 'crystal cover' in the middle.

The stall owner opened the buckle on the lantern and lifted the glass cover to reveal the wick underneath.

Then take out a box of fire and wipe it gently...... The fire lit up......

Everyone exclaimed again, there is still such a fire fold in this Thousand Mountain City?

It's so convenient, isn't it?

Isn't that much more convenient than the kind of fire fold they carry around all day?

What the hell is this?

The others were full of curiosity about the matches used by the store just now, but for the sake of face, no one asked at this time.

The shopkeeper naturally knows what these buns are just marveling at!

But at this time, he was also smug, and he didn't bother to explain to these people at all.

He put the match on the wick of the oil lamp, and soon the wick was ignited.

Then when the glass cover was lowered, the lantern was lit.

Then he walked around with the lantern, and everyone's eyes widened.

Good guy, this stall owner walked so fast, but the lantern he was carrying was still very bright and stable.

There is no way to walk too fast, and the air movement is not affected in the slightest.

You must know that they have all used lanterns, but today they see this lantern, compared to the lanterns they have used.

That's not a cow breaking a star and a half, first of all, it's brightness.

It is many times brighter than their papier-mâché lanterns, and the most important thing is that people's lamps are really not afraid of the wind.

And the store can also adjust the brightness of the lamp by adjusting a regulator on the base of the lamp to change the size of the flame.

This kind of means can make the big guy look stupid!

This thing is really amazing!

"How? Ladies and gentlemen, our horse lanterns in Qianshan City are good, right? ”

The boss disguised the function of the horse lantern for everyone.

Even in order to verify the place where the lamp was broken, he specially called a guy and asked the guy to take a basin of water and splash it at the lamp.

To everyone's surprise, when a basin of water poured down, the lamp was still as stable as Mount Tai, and the flames in the glass cover were not affected by the external environment at all.

At this point, everyone thinks that this kind of horse lantern is worth buying!

"How much does this lamp cost?"

Yanzhou Chu Yuncheng, who invited everyone to take a bath yesterday, was the first to hold back, and asked directly.

"A lamp! Ten silver dollars! ”

The boss proudly put the lantern in his hand on the counter.

"What?"

"It's too expensive!"

The faces of several sons and brothers changed, although they had only used silver dollars for a long time.

But they also have rods and scales in their hearts, and they have all done the conversion, and they know the purchasing power of this silver dollar in their territory.

These ten silver dollars, even in the wealthy Nanyun Kingdom, can be equivalent to ten taels of silver.

These ten taels of silver are enough to buy a bundle of twelve whale oil candles in Nanyun Country!

So everyone thinks this lamp is expensive!

But the stall owner is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and his eyes rolled.

"Sons, I know you think this lamp is expensive. But if you think about it, for the same money, you buy a bundle of whale oil candles, and when you run out, you run out. ”

"But our horse lantern is different! As long as you take good care of it, this lamp will last for decades. ”

"As long as you keep refueling here......"

As he spoke, the stall owner opened the oil filling port at the base of the kerosene lamp and showed it to several young masters.

"And I don't mix oil for this lamp, and if you wish, I'll provide special kerosene here. If kerosene is too expensive, you can use local vegetable oil......"

"And our light is dimly dim, even if you use vegetable oil, as long as you adjust the valve to the maximum, it can be very bright..."

The stall owner agitated like a reed and continued to sell to these boys.

A few sons thought about it, and it was the same reason.

This lantern seems to be a bit expensive, but the problem is that there are more scenarios for the use of this thing!

It can be used not only indoors, but also outdoors, and it is not affected by all kinds of bad weather, which is the most important thing.
