Water can have a cooling effect, which saves more fuel than ordinary ones.

Whether the light is bright or not, and whether there is any smell, has a lot to do with the oil used, so use some good oil when the time comes.

Mother will definitely like it. Besides, Niu Li will soon be going to school and will have to study at night, so he has to hurry up.

But the oil drain part and the water drain part are connected together. It would be easier to deal with if they were separate. I have never seen a copper lamp with a layer.

It may also be that I haven't paid attention to it before, because I haven't thought about buying this thing before. I will look for it carefully when I go to town.

But I don’t have much time recently, so I might as well give the money to my father and bring it back when I see something suitable.

While her mother was sewing by the stove, Ni'er quietly pulled her father into her room.

He took out a few pieces of silver, about two or three taels, thinking that it should be enough. After all, he was buying things in town and it wouldn't take much. If it was not enough, he would add some more and put it in the third brother's hand.

"Dad, I don't have much chance to go to town recently. If you have time, go and see if there is a suitable oil lamp."

He gestured as he spoke, afraid that his father might not understand what he meant.

"There are those that save fuel. I don't know if they are for sale. There is a layer in the middle where you put the oil and water. It would be best if there is a lid on top, otherwise it might choke me."

The third brother had never seen such a thing. He wondered if it was only used by rich people.

For ordinary people, it’s enough to just be able to light up, who cares if it chokes people or not? I didn’t expect that following Doctor Zhao would really broaden my horizons.

"Okay, I'll go to town tomorrow to have a look, but I still have some money, you can take it back."

As he said this, he put the money down. After all, he was buying an oil lamp for Yan Zi, so it was only right for him to spend his own money. How could he ask for the child's money?

Nier picked it up again and put it back in her father's hands.

"Here, didn't we agree that I would pay for the big stuff? Dad, just keep your small stuff."

The third brother took the money in his hand and weighed it, his teeth showing with joy. Which girl can come up with two or three taels of silver in such a short time? She is his own girl, so amazing.

"Okay, my daughter is right. Daddy will listen to you. I will keep those small things."

I thought that the money would be kept for them to spend, so I bought some food that the children liked.

Put the money in your pocket and go check it out tomorrow to see if they have the oil lamp that Ni'er mentioned. I've never seen such a rare thing in my life.

The two of them left the house, and Yan Zi finished sewing the clothes.

When he looked up, he saw two people leaning on the door frame and looking at him, "What were you two whispering about just now?"

Nier smiled slyly, "I won't tell you~"

When Yan Zi saw Ni'er's happy expression, a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.

"If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. I'll know it when the time comes anyway."

He bit off the thread in his hand, inserted the needle into the stitching board, picked up the clothes, and looked at them carefully. The mending was neat and beautiful.

Ni'er leaned over and touched the newly repaired area, thinking that her mother was really amazing to have such a skill. Not only could she supplement the family income but she could also make clothes for her own family.

We didn’t have any fabric before, and I didn’t know my mother’s craftsmanship was so good. Now the clothes my family wears are good enough to be sold in a store.

Everyone in the village likes my mother's craftsmanship. It is no worse than those of the tailors in the town's tailor shops, and the price is cheaper. Whoever can wear my mother's clothes must go out and show off for a while.

Yan Zi looked at Ni'er and found that the clothes on her body seemed a little small. The firelight was dim and she could not see clearly, so she waved to Ni'er and Ni'er took a few steps forward.

Yan Zi pulled the shoulder line of Ni'er's clothes with both hands, straightened it out, and smoothed out the folds on the clothes. Sure enough, she was right just now, the sleeves were a little short.

Looking down, I saw that my trouser legs were a little short.

This set of clothes was made not long ago, and children grow up so fast.

I guess it’s because she has been eating a lot and eating well recently, otherwise, looking at other children of the same age, none of them are growing as fast as Ni’er.

"Take it off, and I'll let you loosen up this dress."

Ni'er would never let her mother waste her eyes like this.

"Let's do it tomorrow. Go and take a rest. There's no rush. I have other clothes to wear."

After hearing Ni'er say this, I thought it made sense, so I put away my needle and thread and planned to do it tomorrow.

The rain stopped and it was completely dark outside. Fortunately, the threshold was made high enough, otherwise the house would have been flooded.

After the rain a few days ago, the water receded quickly. In the past few days, not only is the water level high, but it is also receding slowly.

Nier stood at the door, took a deep breath of the moist air that smelled of earth and grass, and stared at the water outside in a daze.

It's time for dinner. The third child heats up the food and says, "Serve the food~"

Ni'er came back to her senses and together with Niu Li brought the food to the table. They were all leftovers from lunch. Fortunately, it had rained recently and the weather was relatively cool, otherwise the food would have had a smell by the evening.

It was the same at my grandma’s house before. We would just eat the spoiled food directly. After all, it was good to have something to eat. Who would care whether it was spoiled or not? Otherwise, we would have to starve.

While eating, Nier thought that if she cooked a fresh meal in the evening, it would waste a lot of time and the person who cooked would be very tired.

It is usually my dad who cooks. He has to deliver soy milk in the morning, work in the fields in the afternoon, and work in the evening. I can't let my dad get tired.

It’s best to find a way to preserve the leftovers from lunch.

Eating rotten food always feels hard to swallow and makes your stomach uncomfortable.

The main reason is that the temperature is too high and food will spoil easily, so it seems we need to cool it down and use something cool.

I thought about it and couldn't think of anything that was cool.

Ice in winter is cool, but it cannot be preserved.

After dinner, I went to wash my hands and felt that the water flowing out of the bamboo was quite cool. Can I use this to preserve food?

It's not as cold as ice, but it should have some effect.

But the water in the well is even colder, and the well is shared by everyone in the village. Thinking of this, he shook his head slightly.

Since the well cannot be used, is it possible to create an environment similar to a well?

If you put some cold water in a large vat, put the food you want to preserve in a basin, put the basin in the vat, and cover it with a lid, it should work.

This tub of water can also be used for washing clothes and taking a bath.

Thinking of this, Nier's eyes lit up, but she still had to buy the jar and basin. Fortunately, her father had a donkey cart, so it wouldn't be too much trouble to bring them back from town.

Put aside the furniture you want to buy for now. It is more important to avoid eating rotten food.

Even if this method doesn't work, the tank and basin both have their uses and won't be wasted, so just buy them and give it a try first.

He took out a few pieces of silver and gave them to his father.
