When Yang Darong was led to the private room of the restaurant by the guards, he was still confused.

"Excuse me, what's the matter with how many of you are looking for the little ones?"

Although the other party did not show his identity, looking at their dress, Yang Darong knew that he must be a nobleman.

He made a gesture of sincere trepidation.

Yan Kejin leaned on the back of the chair, playing with the sachet worn by Xu Yin's waist, and said with a lazy expression:

"Don't be nervous, please come here, I want to ask you where you got that bucket of white lotion? It's not like it's a product of Yong County. ”

As soon as he heard that he was asking about the black bark sap, Yang Darong breathed a sigh of relief and said it truthfully.

He had a cousin who worked in a logging company in Baipu County, and at the beginning of the year, he asked someone to bring a message that the logging company was recruiting short-term workers, and he saw that the wages were not low, so he went.

When I went, I learned that the owner of the logging company owed a lot of debts and wanted to hire someone to go to the old forest in the mountains to cut the old trees of Huanghuali.

Entering the deep forest was to take a big risk, so a high salary of one or two silver was offered.

This time, I almost couldn't come back.

When Yang Darong said this, he wiped a cold sweat, and he still felt a little scared.

At that time, the little one was separated from his cousin and wanted to hurry up to the agreed place to wait for him, but he didn't want to step on a snake's nest. The snake was as thick as a bucket, and the little one was so frightened that he couldn't look at the road, so he ran as hard as he could, and the snake kept chasing the little one, and was almost caught up by it. It was the white sap that saved the little one, and the snake seemed to be very afraid of it, far away from the tree that dripped.

When the little one saw that it was afraid of this thing, he took a shovel and dug some of it, wiped it on his body, and escaped. After meeting with his cousin, the little one found that the white sap on his body was slimy, and after drying, it was still a little elastic, much better than rice paste.

After handing over the task of logging the company, the little one went into the deep forest with his cousin again, and came back with a few buckets of white tree sap, wanting to fill the white tree sap in the bamboo buildings at home, hoping that the rain would leak less in the rainy season. Brother Sun is also kind-hearted, it is rare to meet, I want to have a drink with the little one, but I didn't expect ......"

Yang Darong shook his head, if he knew that he would cause this incident, he would say that he would not go to Sun Ming's house. It's a pity that it's hard to buy.

Xu Yin nodded at Yan Kejin.

Yan Kejin asked Yang Darong if he was free, and led his people to Baipu County.

He glanced at Yan Jiu, and Yan Jiu took out a silver ingot of ten taels.

"Fare."

Yang Darong's face suddenly appeared with the joy of losing the east corner and harvesting the mulberry elm.

"It's a small honor to be able to do things for your nobles."

Yan Jiu followed Yang Darong to the deep forest of Baipu County on the same day.

Before leaving, Xu Yin told him that if he could, he would buy the deep forest.

Rubber trees are very ground-picking and generally only grow in rainforests similar to the Amazon.

Since there is a large rubber forest there, it means that it is a rainforest environment.

There are not many places where you can find a rainforest environment in Yanhua, so since you have encountered it, you will buy it.

When the time comes, a rubber plantation will be built to specialize in growing rubber, and a workshop will be built outside the forest to engage in a side business, and all kinds of rubber products can be tried to be produced.

Yan Jiu took the order and left.

King Jinnan continued to accompany the princess to visit the Yong County area.

Yong County is less than 200 miles away from Qin County, and seafood is very abundant.

Here, Xu Yin finally ate the fresh seafood that she had been thinking about for a long time, instead of the dry goods or pickled products she saw in the Fucheng market.

This made her want to go to Qin County, which is near the sea.

Eating seafood facing the sea is more feeling!

It is a pity that it is said to be the exclusive place of exile, and the entire Nanban, except for the outer continent of Vietnam, has the largest number of exiles in Shuqin County. Yan Kejin didn't agree to pass it like this.

"If you want to go, wait for the next time, wait for the cement road to lead to Qin County, and arrange more people to protect you."

Xu Yin knew that this was the case, but fortunately she guessed his thoughts before coming, so the disappointment was there, but it was not particularly big.

"If you want to eat seafood, wait for the weather to cool down, and let people transport more." Yan Kejin sandwiched a jade shrimp ball made of fresh shrimp for her.

"How? Is there ice? Xu Yin asked curiously.

"Well, the snow on the top of the strange mountain is thick, and it can be chiseled down to become ice."

“……”

Isn't this too exciting?

There is a sense of mediocrity and immorality of "riding the red dust concubine laughing, and no one knows that it is a lychee".

She didn't want to be compiled by the people of the Southern Barbarians to write a similar poem.

"If only I found saltpeter mines, that thing can make ice."

"Saltpeter? What does it look like? Yan Kejin raised her eyebrows, and didn't ask the princess how she knew, but probably fooled him with "what it looks like in miscellaneous books".

Xu Yin thought about it and described the form of natural saltpeter, like ice is not ice, like salt is not salt, when it encounters water, it will suddenly cool down, and make the surrounding water freeze.

Yan Kejin pondered for a moment after hearing this: "This king seems to have heard of this thing somewhere. ”

Xu Yin couldn't help but be delighted: "Where did you hear about it?" Was it in Beijing or after coming to Nanban? It would be nice to have one here! ”

"Don't worry, go back and send someone to inquire, since there is such a thing in the world, you can always find out, but it is only a matter of time or time."

Xu Yin saw that he was not in a hurry at all, and estimated that the snow on the top of the strange mountain was enough to chisel ice, and it didn't matter if there was saltpeter or not.

Then Ping stepped back and whispered in his ear: "Saltpeter is not only used to make ice, it can make a very lethal weapon......

After listening to her, Yan Kejin immediately sent someone to look for her.

Xu Yin: "......"

Hum! Man!

……

After that, the group came to the two small county towns where the cement road was newly paved.

This area is mostly hilly landforms, with many mountains and few fertile fields. The life of the local people is even more difficult than that of Yong County.

Xu Yin saw that there was a mountain farmer selling lychees, and when she asked if it was a late-maturing lychee in the mountains, she suddenly remembered that the lychee production area in Lingnan seemed to be in the northern Qinbei region. Isn't this Qinbei?

"Did you eat this when you were in Beijing?" Xu Yin peeled one for Yan Kejin and handed the white and plump flesh to his mouth, "It tastes very good, sweet and fresh, don't you taste it?" ”

Yan Kejin glanced at her, lowered her head and bit into her mouth, and sucked the tip of her tongue on her fingertips as if nothing.

Xu Yin withdrew her hand and glared at him with disgust.

She's talking about serious things, and what kind of yellow waste has come to mind for this thing!

Yan Kejin regretted that she couldn't bewitch the princess, leaned back on the back of the chair with a lazy smile, played with the jade pendant on her waist and said:

"I've seen it in the palace when I was in the palace, and there is this in the tribute products of Baiyue and Minyue counties."

However, he was sent all the way to Beijing, no matter how delicious it was, it was not very fresh, and he was not very interested in sweet things, and after tasting them once or twice, he stopped touching them.

Xu Yin had an idea: "Fresh lychees are sent to Beijing, and under the current conditions, it is indeed difficult to retain the fresh taste, but they can be made into canned lychees." ”

"Canned? What is it? ”

Xu Yin winked at him: "Wait back, I'll make it for you to taste." ”

Then I thought: in addition to glass packaging, cans can actually be packed in tin cans.
