I am engaged in construction in Datang

Chapter 268 Worry-free Beans

The exhibition was well organized and when they arrived the peak queue period had passed. Also, Li Yin was pretty, so she was immediately brought in by Shopkeeper Wu himself.

"I am also benefiting from the 'Morning Glory Fairy'."

Following the guidance of Shopkeeper Wu, Li Yin stepped into the gate of the exhibition.

"Master Li, please don't laugh at me. This is not some flower demon at all!" Wu Jinglun smiled bitterly. When the phonograph was brought to him by the manor, he explained the mechanical principles in detail.

Although he didn't quite understand what he heard, he knew that this thing was like the mechanical technology of the Mohist school in the past, which was so ingenious that ordinary people could not figure it out.

Wu Jinglun himself didn't expect that this small event would attract Li Yin. If he had known, he would have prepared more.

What catches your eye are two rows of long wooden tables connected together. The exhibits are arranged according to their value, from low to high, and the phonograph at the end is placed in the house.

"Master Li, this is Leshi."

Wu Jinglun pointed to a strange-shaped stone and said, "When it rains, this stone will make a ding-dong-dong sound, which is very pleasant to hear."

"Interesting." Li Yin leaned forward to take a closer look: "Manager Wu, can I touch it?"

"Naturally."

Although stones are precious, there are still many of them available now.

After getting permission, Li Yin immediately began to caress it gently, sighing from time to time.

"Octopsonic Rock, this thing..."

Really want!

The love in her eyes was about to overflow, but unfortunately her back was turned to Wu Jinglun and he couldn't see her.

As they continued to walk inside, Li Yin saw many magical things, even a conch shell as big as a head.

It is not uncommon to find large conchs in modern times, but in ancient times when there was almost no experience in seabed operations, catching a large conch was a great achievement.

"It would be nice if this thing was alive, so I could taste it."

"..." Li Xiaochun looked at Li Yin in horror. Can this thing with a big shell be eaten?

Wu Jinglun looked at the conch twice, then looked at Li Yin, touched his chin and frowned in thought.

Are the seafood from the south delicious?

Are you making money?

How to get it alive...

The few of them continued to walk inside, and Li Yin stopped in front of a few red beans the size of a little fingernail.

She leaned in and smelled it, and the smell was a little familiar.

"Manager Wu, where did this come from?"

"This……"

Shopkeeper Wu looked around and leaned in to whisper, "I got this from a smuggler."

"The Western Region is under a severe blockade now, but there are always people who are not afraid of death. I heard that these beans were brought from a place further south, but I don't know where exactly."

"What is this bean called... Worry-free beans?"

He smacked his lips twice and continued, "It tastes just average, but chewing it does make you feel refreshed."

After getting permission and making sure that the thing was not poisonous, Li Yin pinched one, washed it and put it in her mouth.

[System, this taste is really pure. ]

[Host, the effect of coffee is not as prominent as that of tea]

I just miss the byproduct of coffee.

For example, coffee-flavored cakes, coffee milk jelly, coffee ice cream...

"It's a little short. If I could get a few sacks..." Li Yin looked at the poor beans with pity and wanted to go to Rongzhou to farm.

"This... Master Li, we do have a large bag of this stuff. If you like it..."

"Bring it here so I can see it."

If there is anything that can be used as seeds, she will ask people to go to Rongzhou to plant them!

The exhibition organized by Wu Jinglun was truly extraordinary. In short, Li Yin had a great time enjoying it with her eyes... and her hands.

When she came, she rode a big pole and led Xiaodouzi and Xiaochun. When she left, she rode a big pole and led Xiaodouzi, while Xiaochun drove the carriage.

Shopkeeper Wu was quite interested in seafood, and Li Yin happened to be craving for it too, so the two of them decided to set up a special shipping line.

Uncle Sanxi will take care of the specific details, and Li Yin will only be responsible for providing transportation technology.

I guess she will be able to enjoy a seafood feast in a few months. She must try the coconut snail!

After returning to the village, Li Yin gave a bag of coffee beans and related books to Zhao Erniu, and asked him to be fully responsible for the planting.

It doesn’t matter if Chang’an is not suitable, just find someone to go south.

Just like sugarcane and tea, we cannot stop planting them just because of geographical factors.

……

Early October.

The cold wind covered the dead grass with a layer of frost, and the sickle-like moon spit out silver yarn, covering the gray path in the field.

The wind was howling outside the window, but it was warm as spring inside the house.

Xiaochun helped Li Yin change to a thicker quilt, and asked Xiaoxia to help sew the cover and the core, so that Li Yin would not sleep restlessly at night and cause the cotton core to curl up into a ball.

When they finally had some free time, a few people boiled a pot of water and put in some mugwort for foot soaking.

"Time flies so fast."

Li Yin was holding a thermos and sitting on a small stool with her neck hunched. Xiaochun and Xiaoxia were sitting next to her in the same position.

"Of course."

Xiaochun put his glasses aside and rubbed his brows: "In the blink of an eye, Dongdong has become a big star."

"Master, Sister Xiaochun, why has Dongdong been out for so long this time?" Xiaoxia was a little worried, fearing that Dongdong might encounter some unsolvable problems outside.

"The old woman wrote to say that Dongdong saw a snow-white fox on the road and wanted to catch it and raise it."

Xiaochun sighed. Nowadays, many people catch cute little animals like cats, dogs, foxes and raccoons as pets. If they don't keep them themselves, they can make a lot of money by selling them.

"Did I catch Dongdong?" Li Yin widened her eyes and pointed at herself with her index finger.

She usually liked those spiritual animals, such as the muntjac last year, which made her miss it for a long time.

Xiaochun and Xiaoxia glanced at Li Yin, with affirmation in their eyes.

"Ah, my sin..."

Before Li Yin finished speaking, there was a rapid knock on the door.

"Master, Master!"

Li Yingwu, who was running the fastest, didn't even have time to catch his breath. He shouted through the door: "Your brother is here!"

"Here on horseback, quite anxious!"

Hearing this, Li Yin didn't have time to put on thick clothes. She quickly pulled her feet out of the basin and ran out in her summer clogs.

Xiaochun and Xiaoxia put on their clothes, took Li Yin's coat, socks, shoes, hot water bottle, etc. and chased in the direction where the two disappeared.

"What happened?"

"An epidemic has occurred in the south and east of Kanto!"

Li Yingwu followed behind Li Yin and didn't dare to say too much nonsense.

"is it serious?"

"I didn't have time to ask, so I rushed to find you." Li Yingwu shook his head. How could he dare to waste time? Besides, it was useless for him to ask so many questions.

After a while, Li Yin saw Li Shimin guzzling tea, which showed that he had also traveled a long way.

"Brother."

"Sister-in-law!" Li Shimin put down the teacup and explained the reason in a very fast pace.

"After the flood in Guandong, an epidemic broke out. It spread from a village in a mountain valley in the southwest. When the news reached Chang'an, more than a hundred people had been infected with the disease."

Li Shimin took a deep breath and continued, "This group of people are rushing to the interior to seek medical treatment!"

Li Yin's expression changed instantly.
