Chapter 36 Thermometers
"Is your brother a fast learner, why don't I know?"
"Dad, you're right to listen to me, now Mr. Yu will teach his brother, my brother is so old, it's awkward to sit with a group of little kids all day long, and he himself is not comfortable."
"Okay, I'll talk to Mr. Yu tomorrow."
When Yu Xiucai called Su Sheng to Class B with a smile, Su Sheng's whole person was still in a state of where I am and who I am.
…………
Su Yu looked outside the house, the rain had been falling for five days in a row, and it hadn't stopped yet.
"When will this rain stop?"
Su Lao Er looked up at the sky that was black and oppressive, and there was no bright color at all.
"I can't say."
"Then you went to the village and asked if there were any other families, who has a surplus soil foundation?"
"I've been there a long time ago, and several of them have enough for our family, and we told them that they would sell it for a penny."
"Okay, when the rain stops, you can find someone to build a house."
"Hmm."
Since that day I went to Taihe Lou to find the cow shopkeeper, when I came back, Su Yu began to prepare to build a house dedicated to hatching chicks, and she couldn't always hatch in her house.
There must be a lot of duck eggs hatched this time, and her house is not enough, so she plans to build a special house in the open space next to her, Su Yu has already drawn a picture, and plans to make a fire wall in the house, so as to ensure the temperature of the whole house. It's just that this degree is a little difficult to grasp, if only there was a thermometer.
Thinking of this, Su Yu sighed, in this era of going out to communicate and roaring, let her go where to get a thermometer.
It's really not good to make it herself, she doesn't need to have a high standard, the temperature of the hatching eggs is between 37~39 degrees, it is enough to be able to measure this temperature difference, make a wall of fire, with the blessing of the thermometer, she doesn't have to guard in the house all day, otherwise the high temperature of almost 40 degrees, in the house for 20 days, can bake her dry.
Just do it, to make a thermometer, you must first have materials, I remember that I learned it when I was in school, but I don't remember it very clearly, whatever, do it first.
Looking around at home, I really can't find anything useful to replace the glass, knowing that Da Zhou has glass, to put it bluntly, it is modern glass, she also thinks about it, all the money at home now can't buy a glass bead, don't think about a small glass bottle. But can other things be done, why don't you try a porcelain vase first, the porcelain vase is not available at home, so you have to go to the town to buy it.
When she thought of it, she begged Su Lao Er to take her to the town, otherwise she couldn't sleep at night thinking about things.
"Dad, let's go to the blacksmith tomorrow and order something, just in time I'm going to buy something."
It has been raining for the past two days, and Su Lao Er has nothing to do when he is idle at home, and he heard that his daughter wants to go to the town, so he agreed without thinking about it.
"Cheng, let's go early tomorrow morning, but we won't go if it's raining too much."
"Okay."
The glass bottle can be replaced by a porcelain bottle first, what should be used to replace the straw? And it has to be transparent, otherwise just a pipe, she directly replaced it with a wheat stalk, how can she still use it to find it on the street.
The next day, the rain was not heavy, the father and daughter went straight to the blacksmith shop when they went to the town, and ordered all the ironware that could be used in the house.
There are two porcelain shops in the town, both of them are not big, and the business is so-so, the rich old men in the town want to buy porcelain, and they will not buy it in the town, they go directly to the county seat or the government to buy it, and the people who have no money can not use porcelain, and the people who come to patronize the porcelain shops are not on the town, so the business of the two shops has not been very good, and they can barely make a living.
The father and daughter entered a porcelain shop called Zheng Ji, and when they heard the name, they knew that it was handed down by the older generation of the family.
Now the father and daughter are wearing new clothes made by the Lian family, and the material is cotton cloth bought by Su Yu, which is very comfortable to use, and of course the price is not cheap. I have been talking about this Lian for a long time, saying that Su Yu spends money indiscriminately, and the clothes are almost enough.
Su Yu didn't give in, she wanted to let the Lian family go to buy the designated linen, and her family's previous clothes were made of linen. Linen cloth is hard, and the clothes on the new upper body will grind the skin, how can this cotton cloth be comfortable to wear, her family is not short of one or two taels of cloth now, Su Yu was bought according to the fabric of one person and two bodies at home, and there is no silver left, such cotton cloth is considered a medium level in the town, how can it be uncomfortable to wear on the body.
If they enter the store according to the clothes they wore when they first came to Yujia Village, the shopkeeper is afraid that he won't sweep his eyes, and he will let the guys drive them out. It can't be said that the shopkeeper is snobbish, and the two of them didn't look like they could buy porcelain, so they were afraid that they would come to find ballast, and the porcelain was delicate, and if they were accidentally broken, they couldn't afford to lose if they were sold.
"Two guest officers, what do you need to buy?"
"Shopkeeper, do you have such a tall porcelain vase here, with the same porcelain body and bottle mouth?"
Su Yu gestured.
The shopkeeper was dumbfounded, it was the first time I had seen someone come to a porcelain shop to buy such porcelain, what was the use of such a small one?
"Guest officer, this one really doesn't exist."
"Then what are your smallest porcelain vases, take me to see them."
There is no Suyu so I have to settle for the next best.
In fact, the smallest porcelain bottle in ancient times, that is, the small porcelain bottle used by doctors to hold pills, some of these porcelain bottles are sold in shops, and most of them are bought in various medical halls, and very few are bought by individuals.
Su Yu took the smallest of them, and was not sure if it could be used, so he could only buy one and try it first.
A porcelain vase is not expensive, ten cents a piece, Su Yu paid the silver money and was about to leave, thinking of something and looking at the shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper, I want to ask, where in the town is there a hollow tube that sells the tube, the tube body is transparent, the size is about the same as chopsticks?"
The shopkeeper thought about it, but he really couldn't remember what a transparent pipe was.
"I haven't seen it, I don't know where it's sold."
Su Yu was not disappointed, and went out of the shop to find it elsewhere.
Seeing that the people were gone, the shopkeeper shook his head, there are really any weirdos these days.
In the shop, Su Lao Er didn't ask, and when he got out of the shop, he couldn't help asking, "Girl, what are you buying bottles for?"
"It's useful to buy it, I'll show it to my dad when it's done, and now you don't understand what I said."
Su Lao Er is not a curious person, his daughter said so, so he didn't ask again.
Xinglin Town is not big, there are only three streets to sell things, Su Yu doesn't know where to sell, can only go one by one, and when the three streets are finished, I still can't find what I want to buy.
"Girl, I'm afraid there is no transparent tube you want to buy."
Su Yu's face was disgusted.
"I know."
"So where are we going now?"
"Let's go back, wait until I think about it."
