Entrepreneurship in a different world

Ah He had to rest for a while after walking a short distance, his spirit was not very good, and his walking speed was relatively slow.

The three of them were originally walking in the middle of the team going out, but after a while, they fell behind.The people here, whether adults or children, seem to have acquired the ability to run fast, walking fast.

Looking at the backs of the children scattered in front of him, Ah He said: "Some of them are pulling weeds, which is usually done by children who are not old enough to go to work; some older ones can go to the manor Try your luck on the outside, sometimes there will be wheat grains and seeds falling on the road outside the manor; and those who are more daring will go to the vicinity of 'Youshan Lake', which is the largest lake near us. Although the water there cannot Drink it directly, but for those who don’t have water, they can drink it after filtering and boiling, and those who are short of water at home will go there to drink enough water, and bring some back to wait for the next time to fetch water.”

"Ah!" A Miao patted her big belly, expressing something.

"That's right, drinking that water will cause diarrhea for two days at most." Ah He said bitterly.

Judging by the behavior of the two brothers, they should have drank the water in the lake.Remembering that the two brothers missed the time to fetch water, and they haven't waited for the next time to fetch water, they don't have to go outside to find water.

"Then, is there any fish in the lake?" If so, it is also food.

"No. Not only the land, but the surface water sources have also been polluted. After many years of self-purification, the water quality has not been purified to the level that the deep groundwater is drinkable."

Wen Rong also learned about how the water source here is supplied yesterday.

The reason why this place was chosen to build the 'Ghost Cave' was that the underground water resources here are richer than other places.

The previous generation of city lords of 'Nishia City' asked someone to drill a deep underground well, so that the pumped water could enter.In order to control the water source so that the groundwater will not be pumped too much at once, causing a shortage of resources, a strict water intake system has been formulated here since then.

According to the number of people in each family, the water consumption per person per week is one barrel, which includes eating, drinking and other daily needs.Every household without money has to figure out how to use water.Households with a large population may get more free water than others, but they also use more for food, especially food, which is not as much as a bucket of free water.People who talk too much and eat too much are basically unable to support themselves, so people here are not willing to raise too many mouths.

Food can only be obtained by those who go to work, and other people who can't work can't live for long just by drinking water.

Wen Rong stepped on the hard yellow-white soil layer under his feet, and some of his previous thoughts and plans were now self-denied.Don't really expect to be able to grow food in such a soil, it is a miracle that 'iron thorn grass' can grow.

The three of them walked on a road that few people walked, and after walking for more than an hour, they saw a few plants with small purple flowers in the cracks of the hard soil layer that were naturally dry and cracked.

The plant grows quite tall, except for the small purple flower at the top, the whole body is covered with exploded leaves like gladiolus. The leaves are slender and strip-shaped. From a distance, it looks like a head with long oily green hair, blown by the wind. Blowing, the leaves fluttering, and when the light is dim, you will definitely think that a head with disheveled hair is flying in mid-air.

The two He Miao brothers took the initiative to pull out the 'iron thorn grass', and Wen Rong helped them together, "Is this grass edible?"

"No." The answer is also reasonable.If it can be eaten, it will not be used as a cushion or fuel.He asked a stupid question.

A Miao thought of something, pointed to her small mouth, covered her mouth and smiled shyly.

"Oh! You can't eat grass, but this flower is still useful. Although you can't eat it, the women in the town use it to dye their lips and nails. Aunt Xia Lan's lips are dyed with this flower..."

Wen Rong thought of Xia Lan's weird purple lips, so it was so, no wonder it looked like it was poisoned.

There was a light in his head 'ding'.

He knew how to apologize to Ms. Xia Lan. He could use this flower to make some lip paper as a gift for her.

He used to like to watch some self-media channel bloggers make some antique things. He has seen how to make ancient cosmetics. Other things are not easy to make, but lip paper does not need many raw materials, so he can try it.

The biggest raw material here is probably paper... Wen Rong's eyes lit up again as his mind kept turning.

He remembered that there was the kind of paper used to paste the windows on the roof of the wooden shed of Ah He's house, which was thin, transparent and had a certain degree of toughness.Since there is such a thing, it means that that kind of window paper can be found in the town, so that's all right.
