The variety of fabrics is beyond Qian Yu's imagination.The brocade category alone is divided into 10 types such as plain brocade, Ling brocade, cloud brocade, and jade brocade.The satin surface is divided into 5 or 6 kinds of plain soft satin and colored satin, plus more than 40 kinds of silk, cloth, linen, yarn and so on.

Each fabric has its own characteristics, but some characteristics are not obvious, and it takes a long time to learn and ponder.Under the ancient class regime, there were also restrictions on the use of fabrics. Some fabrics could not be used at will, and were only used by officials and royal families.

In order to get a better understanding of the fabric, Qian Yu specially asked the treasurer of the cloth shop to take him to a familiar cloth dyeing workshop to observe the dyeing process of the cloth.

The shopkeeper of Buzhuang, surnamed Yang, is in his 40s, very thin, and looks like a monkey.Because he was one of Qiao Yangtian's subordinates, Qian Yu called Uncle Yang, which shocked shopkeeper Yang so much that he didn't dare to agree.

It was Qiao Yangtian who said "Let him go" on the sidelines before he dared to respond.

Shopkeeper Yang took Qian Yu to a relatively large cloth dyeing workshop in the suburbs, and Qiao Yangtian naturally followed.He took this month off because he planned to stay close to Qian Yu.

Several people arrived at the cloth dyeing workshop in a carriage.If it weren't for the fact that the distance was a bit far, Qian would really like to take a walk here, and the swaying of the carriage was uncomfortable.

The cloth dyeing workshop covers a large area, and you can see the red, blue and blue colored cloth hanging inside from the outside of the wall.

Into the inside, there is a strong smell of dye.The colored cloth flutters in the wind, which is quite beautiful.Many martial arts movies have this scene, Qian Yu saw it for the first time today, and was a little excited.

Shopkeeper Yang greeted them in advance, and when they arrived, a young man specially showed them around.

Most likely, Qiao Yangtian confessed, fearing to alarm too many people, he didn't let shopkeeper Yang reveal his identity.But when the boy saw Qiao Yangtian's face, he looked terrified.There is no way, King Yan Ping's scarred face is too famous, and no one in Kunnan City does not know it.Looking at this demeanor and this face, it is not difficult to imagine that this may be Prince Yan Ping.

The servant didn't dare to say anything, and led the three of them around the workshop with his head bowed.

The small workers in the cloth dyeing workshop are doing their own things, but no one pays attention to them.

Occasionally, those who looked up and saw Qiao Yangtian were terrified.

Qian Yu followed the dyeing process along the way, from the white cloth into the water to the loose salt to remove the starch, the whole process is very interesting.

The few people wandered around for two full hours, until Qiao Yangtian reminded Qian Yu that it was time for lunch, and Qian Yu reluctantly came out of the cloth dyeing workshop.

Qian Yu had opened his eyes today, and was very happy. Before getting into the carriage, he watched a few people push a large cart with many baskets of carrots and mushrooms on it, and transported it to a big house next to it that was emitting a few streams of smoke. Somewhat curious, "What is that house for? Do you want so many dishes?"

Shopkeeper Yang hurriedly replied, "That's the salt workshop."

Qian Yu helped Qiao Yangtian get into the car with one hand, and then asked, "Salt maker?"

"Exactly."

After Qian Yu got into the car, Qiao Yangtian came up.

Shopkeeper Yang followed the groom and sat in front.

Qian Yu lifted the curtain, leaned on the side of the car frame and asked, "What are those vegetables used for?" Qian Yu was mainly curious about this, and if it was for the workers to eat, it didn't take so much.

Shopkeeper Yang looked at Qian Yu in surprise. It should be common sense. Why does Mr. Qian seem to be ignorant?But he still answered honestly, "Those dishes are for burning salt."

"Ah?!" Qian Yu was a little confused, what does it mean to burn salt with vegetables?

Qiao raised his head and dragged him back into the carriage, "Don't sit there, it's dangerous."

This time, Qian Yu couldn't ask shopkeeper Yang anymore, so he turned to Qiao Yangtian, "What does shopkeeper Yang mean by cooking salt with vegetables?"

Qiao Yangtian is also quite strange, Qian Yu seems to know nothing about some common sense, but knows a lot of things that ordinary people don't know. "Our salt in Nanyang is boiled with carrots and mushrooms."

"What?"

Qiao Yangtian changed into a comfortable sitting position, and put Qian Yu in his arms. "Nanyang salt mines are rare, and most of them are sea salt. But the sea salt still has a strong bitter taste after cooking, so I boiled carrots and mushrooms together Sour and fresh."

"This...who thought of this method?" Qian Yu faintly thought of something.

"I don't know, this method has been used in Nanyang for over 200 years."

"so long?!"

"Ah."

Qian Yu's head buzzed, and he felt as if he had found the reason why Nanyang women are not easy to get pregnant.However, this matter is too unbelievable, and it will take a long time to prove it through experiments. I don't know if anyone will believe him.To be honest, he didn't quite believe it himself.

However, Qian Yu thought about it carefully.The plants bred in the land of Nanyang are more refined than modern plants.It can be seen from the beauty effect of those flower juices.So can this be understood as, maybe the plants in Nanyang have higher levels of various elements?

When he was looking at plant-related information before, he had seen that carrots were rich in carotene, and a woman's intake of a large amount of carotene would cause amenorrhea and inhibit the normal ovulation function of the ovaries.If, as Qiao Yangtian said, women in Nanyang have been eating salt with a lot of carrots for nearly 200 years, it may be that their ovulation function has been inhibited.

The more Qian Yu thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was still very high.

Qiao Yangtian saw that Qian Yu didn't speak for a long time, he looked very focused, he didn't know what he was thinking about, and he had a troubled look on his face. "What are you thinking about?"

Qian Yu came back to his senses, looked at Qiao Yangtian, and thought, should I tell him?Can anyone believe this thing?

Qian Yu bowed his head and thought for a while, then told Qiao Yangtian about it.

After Qiao Yangtian listened, a trace of shock appeared on his usually calm face.Then he asked with a strange expression: "What is ovulation?" He just understood that women who eat too many carrots are not easy to get pregnant.But it is difficult to understand the fact that pregnancy is due to ovulation.

Qian Yu hesitated for a moment. He was excited just now and directly said about ovulation. "This...this...then what...is that a woman will ovulate into the uterus every month, and then...meet the...jing...jingyuan of a man, and then she can become pregnant." Qian After Yu finished speaking, he didn't dare to look at Qiao Yangtian, his whole face was filled with embarrassment.

Qiao Yangtian was really interested in listening, especially when Qian Yu mentioned the word Jingyuan, his stomach tightened, "How did Xiaoyu know?"

"...I heard it."

Qiao Yangtian obviously wouldn't believe this, but he didn't ask any further questions, and just looked at Qian Yu thoughtfully.

Qian Yu was uncomfortable being looked at, so he changed the subject and said, "Do you believe in the matter of salt?"

"What you said, of course I believe it."

"Then what are you going to do? Do you want to get some people to experiment? Let them eat salt without carrots."

"Yeah. I'll go back to the house later to check the map and choose a small town with a small population to do the experiment."

The population is small and easy to manage. The salt in Nanyang is sold by the government, and private sales are not allowed.Experimenting in a small town is still very well controlled.

"Well...if new salt comes out, can you sell some to my sister..." Qian Ying's age is not young in ancient times, and he must really want to have a child.Although it is not certain that the carrot is the problem, but if there is this opportunity, I have to try it anyway.

"Don't worry, I will arrange it."

Qian Yu put his head on Qiao Yangtian's shoulder. This man indulged him so much that he was afraid that he would be spoiled.
