After a night's rest in the hotel, before dawn the next day, Jack got up alone, smiled at Ruth, who was sleeping soundly, and went to the desk next to him to write and draw.

His current identity is just a low-level person living in poverty, and if he wants to really make a lot of money, there are not many opportunities except for doing bad things that violate the law and discipline.

However, as a time-traveler from the modern era, Jack will not despair because of this, and in the few days he spent on the Carpathia, he thought of a way to make money.

That's invention!

Although there are many things that he has not yet invented in his memory, and there is no chance of inventing them without a certain amount of capital, he knows that there is one thing that can be invented without much capital.

He believes that as long as he invents it, whether it is selling patents to others or making his own products to make money, he will be able to make a lot of money.

This thing is, filter cigarettes!

Speaking of which, Jack came up with this idea and had something to do with Ruth.

Once when Ruth went to the smoking room to smoke after being addicted to smoking, he found that the cigarette Ruth was smoking did not have a filter, and then when he asked Ruth, he learned that there were no filter cigarettes at all in this era.

In his previous life, as a senior smoker who had made a great contribution to GDP, he couldn't be more familiar with the filter, coupled with the rise of short videos, whether it was a filter or a filter cigarette manufacturing technology, he had some understanding, in this case, it can be said that his first pot of gold has already fallen.

"Jack, what are you doing?"

Just when Jack was designing the machine needed to make filter cigarettes on the drawings, Ruth finally woke up, she lifted the quilt covering her body, stood up and stretched, and then came behind Jack, put her hands on Jack's shoulders and looked at it for a while, this is what you said last night about filter cigarettes that can improve taste?

Feeling the touch behind him, Jack was anxious for a while, but because he had been crazy for a long time last night, he still felt some back pain, and in order to plan for the long term, he still forced himself to calm down.

"I'm going out and buy something." Jack turned around and kissed Ruth's smooth forehead and asked, "Are you going with me or waiting for me to come back in the room?" ”

"I'll go with you."

Ruth didn't hesitate and made her choice immediately.

She has lived in the UK since she was born, and this is the first time she has been so far away from home, although the United States is synonymous with nouveau riche in the UK, but she is still very interested in seeing the scenery that is different from the UK.

"Okay, you can clean up first." Jack nodded, "I'll wait for you." ”

I have to say that women deserve to be women, even women in the early twentieth century, love beauty is really a woman's nature, Jack waited for almost an hour, Ruth was able to clean up under Jack's urging, and in the end she was still blaming Jack for urging her too quickly and not having enough time to dress up.

"Gone."

In this regard, Jack had no choice but to pretend to be an ostrich, not to argue with her about this, and directly led her out of the room and downstairs to the street.

In this era, the United States took the lead in completing the second industrial revolution, its economic strength has surpassed Britain, and it has become the strongest country in the world's economy.

Walking on the pedestrian streets, it can be said that the shops on both sides of the street are full of all kinds of goods, even Ruth, who was born in a British aristocratic family, was shocked by the prosperity of New York, and had to admit that if only the prosperity of the city was concerned, New York had surpassed London.

As for Jack, he was already accustomed to seeing modern bustling cities in his previous life, and there was no turmoil in his heart.

However, when he thought of the fact that the United States had made such achievements in this era, he could not help but admire the unique endowment of the United States.

"Wagner."

A department store appeared in Jack's sight, and after glancing up at the department store sign, Jack walked in with Ruth, "Let's go in and see, maybe we can buy some materials in this store." ”

"Give me a box of good luck, boss."

Walking into the department store, before Jack could speak, Ruth pointed to a pack of beautifully packaged cigarettes and said to the department store owner.

As for Ruth's smoking, a few days ago, because he had just crossed over, his soul had changed person, and he was no longer the original Jack, so he was not good at interfering, so he didn't stop her from smoking, but last night they had already done everything that should be done between lovers in the hotel, and in his heart, he really regarded Ruth as his own woman, so he naturally couldn't continue to let it go.

However, considering that it was outside now, Jack glanced at the cigarette in Ruth's hand, and chose to keep his mouth shut for the time being, so as not to interrupt her good mood for the time being, and everything will be talked about after he returns.

After making up his mind, Jack retracted his thoughts and listed the things he planned to buy, "Boss, you have raw tobacco, writing paper, and cotton here...... Does glue sell? ”

"Sir, please wait a moment, I'll look for it first." The department store owner listened to Jack's long list and rummaged around.

I have to say. Jack still underestimated this department store, its variety of goods, it is really unthinkable, he originally thought that he would have to go to many places to buy all the materials he needed, but what he didn't expect was that only this haberdashery, he bought all the materials he reported.

"It's 12 dollars and 37 cents, sir."

After taking the things packed by the store owner and taking out $12 and 37 cents from his pocket to the store owner, Jack suddenly thought that although his filter cigarette making machine was designed, it still needed to be turned into a real thing, and neither he nor Ruth were familiar with New York, and it was not easy to find a reliable factory.

So, Jack looked at the shopkeeper and asked, "Boss, I have a machine design drawing, do you know, where is there a hardware processing factory that can help me process the machine I designed?" ”

As a department store owner, it is natural to have a wide range of contacts, so after only a moment of thought, he replied to Jack: "I do know of a factory that accepts custom-made machines, and my sir can go there and try it." ”

With that, the store owner wrote the address on a piece of paper and handed it to Jack.

"Thank you, boss." Jack thanked him.

The store owner told him this news, so to speak, in order to save a lot of trouble.

Jack looked down at the note the shopkeeper had written to him.

"Hall Hardware Factory."
