I don't know if it was because her soul left her body, but Qingyan slept until noon the next day before she woke up. When she woke up, her head was groggy, and it took her a while to react.
Chou Chou and the little leopard were still on the bed. Chou Chou was playing with the black bird inner alchemy. The little leopard didn't run around, but just squatted aside and watched her.
Seeing that Qingyan was awake, Chou Chou came over and asked, "How are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Qingyan nodded, "I'm still a little dizzy. There should be food in the space, right? I'm a little hungry."
She hadn't eaten well in the illusion before, and she still seemed to be feeling hungry.
Chou Chou handed her the inner alchemy and said, "Yes, you wash up first and I'll take out the meals I packed yesterday.
This is for you. The resentment and yin energy in it have been absorbed by me, and it is very clean now. You can wear it as an amulet, which has a restraining effect on ordinary evil spirits. "
Qingyan pinched the black bead and said with some uncertainty: "Where is the remnant soul of the black bird inside? Is it still there? Will I also be controlled or affected by the power of Yin Jin's contract with me?"
Chou Chou shook his head, "No, the remnant soul inside is gone. It's too weak. It dissipated as soon as it entered my space. This inner elixir is considered a good thing in this world with insufficient spiritual energy. It can be regarded as a low-level magic weapon." "
Qingyan held the bead with two fingers and turned it around. If this was made into a pendant, it must not be drilled, otherwise it would be bad if the inner elixir was damaged.
I have no choice but to set it in. I will go out and see if there is any jewelry shop that makes it. I can set it in gold and wear it as jewelry.
After putting on jackets, cleaning up and washing up, Chou Chou and I had a sumptuous lunch and fed the little leopard, and then talked about the upcoming trip.
Qingyan asked Chou Chou directly: "Yesterday you said we would stay here for a few more days. Now that you have absorbed the resentment in the black bird inner elixir, are you almost recovered? Then we should go directly. Over there at Qinian Village?"
Chou Chou shook his head and said: "Don't worry, after yesterday's torment, your spirit is still a little unstable. Let's rest here for a day today. Let's go over there tomorrow and buy all the things we need to buy today.
We were in such a hurry to get there today, and we don’t know if there will be any big noise by then. If there are a lot of treasures, maybe there will be a collapse or something after we collect them.
There are also villagers in Qinian Village. If they find out, they may cause trouble. We will not have time to come to the county again and may have to run away directly, so we should buy the necessary things first and put them in the space in case we leave at any time.
And we have to be prepared for any other accidents. I don't know what's going on in Qingfeng Town. I don't know if the remnants of the bandits have been captured.
It's also a matter of whether the garrison has left. We will definitely not be able to buy anything in Qingfeng Town by then. After all, it has just been looted, and those people probably don't dare to open a shop yet. "
Qingyan nodded, what Chou Chou said were all the problems that might be encountered, now thinking about it, fortunately there is Chou Chou, Chou Chou has space.
She just thought it was very convenient before, but she didn't have such a big impression. After all, she has been exposed to Xiangxiang's space since she was born. She can go wherever she wants through the space and it is very convenient to take whatever she wants.
Even if he comes here, Chou Chou still has space, but after being trapped in the illusion for two days yesterday, he realized that without Chou Chou and without space, it is really difficult to survive, and it is even more ridiculous and comfortable.
If that illusion was real, and he couldn't leave in a barren place, and there wasn't even any game on the mountain, he might really be starving.
She thought that she would not rely too much on space in the future, and that she should prepare some things outside.
Of course, some things are not suitable, such as those cooked meals. Even if the weather is cold now, they will go bad in two or three days at most. It is best to put some grains, vegetables, meat, etc. in the car, and they can be stored at any time. Freshly made.
Before going out this time, she asked Chou Chou to take out her watch and wear it a little higher on her wrist. The watch had a leather strap that could be adjusted, so she put the strap higher up so that it would The sleeves are wide and will not be easily exposed when you reach out and slip down.
Then she asked Chou Chou to get her a pair of flints and put them in her satchel, so that even if she got separated from Chou Chou, she could at least light a fire and keep warm even if she had nothing to eat.
Chou Chou also agrees, knowing that she has a sense of urgency. This is good. After all, no one can say what kind of situation she will encounter in the future. The best way is for Qingyan to learn to use local materials, so that she can work within a limited time. Living better under the conditions.
Even if Qingyan's parents had taken her to survive in the wild before, it was a bit of a fun activity, and she knew that she had support, a nice space, and her parents were here, even if it was If you encounter danger or something, nothing will happen, so you won't make much progress at all.
Human growth must be in adversity, and potential can only explode when the situation is at the end of the road, and now we are seeing results.
Before going out, Qingyan folded the quilt on the bed, put the little leopard back into the bag, and Chou Chou returned to the space.
Qingyan looked at the watch on her arm. It was already past one in the afternoon. After finishing all the shopping, it would be dinner time. She would go to Mijia Restaurant to pack some food after dinner. This afternoon would be just the time. It's over.
Before leaving the inn, she told the innkeeper that she would not leave today and would renew her room for another day before going out.
First, I went to the largest cloth store in the county. I originally thought that this cloth store was so big that I should be able to buy cotton quilts. But when I arrived at the cloth store, I realized that cotton was available but not ready-made quilts. I had to buy the cloth and cotton myself. Just go back and do it.
Qingyan is really good at making quilts. She has seen her grandma and grandma do it, and she also helped them. She just lays the cotton flat on a rectangular piece of cloth, and then covers it with a piece of cloth to wrap the four sides. , just move the needle more in the middle. If you move the thread a few more times, the cotton will not run around.
It is not like the ready-made cotton tires bought in later generations. The outside is wrapped with a layer of cotton thread and can be directly covered with a quilt cover.
Hand-made items are usually made from pieces of cotton wool, which need to be dismantled during washing and re-stretched over time.
However, after asking about the price of cotton, Qingyan gave up, okay! It actually costs two taels of silver per pound!
Even the quilts used in spring and autumn weigh five or six pounds, and the quilts used in winter must be at least eight pounds or more. Otherwise, they will not be able to suppress the wind and will not be warm at all.
Forget about spending more than a dozen taels of silver to make a quilt. Ten taels of silver can buy several pieces of leather, all for keeping warm. There is no need at all.
No wonder Xue Minghua said at that time that the two quilts in their home were bought by her father-in-law after he left a dangerous escort and received a large reward.
Thinking of the box of gold and silver in the Chen family, I guess that person didn't get the reward at all, but probably ate someone else's illegal goods. Only people who get it for free would be willing to spend it. This quilt is really a luxury product.
She wasn't going to buy a quilt. She seemed to be missing a pillow, so she asked the shopkeeper where she could buy buckwheat husks.
The shopkeeper didn't bother her, and pointed her directly: "You can buy it in grocery stores. In fact, it's also available in grain shops. They usually help to peel the shells and grind them into flour. Those shells are left behind. They will sell them, but they are not as clean as those sold in grocery stores. The buckwheat husks in grocery stores are washed and can be used directly for pillows."
Qingyan thanked the shopkeeper, and then bought a few more feet of fine cotton here. In fact, there was a lot of cloth in the space, so there was no need to buy more. Didn't she ask for it for a long time? She felt a little guilty for not spending some money.
After coming out of Buzhuang, I found a dead end with no one behind me, and let Chou Chou hide in the space.
Even though it is only a few feet of cotton, it is quite awkward to carry it in your hand.
After that, I went to the grocery store and looked at the items inside. The goods were quite complete.
She bought ten pounds of buckwheat husks and planned to put two more pillows on the carriage, not only for sleeping, but also as cushions.
Although not as soft as the pillows of later generations, at least it was more comfortable than leaning on the hard wood of a carriage.
I saw a clay stove and charcoal pot for sale, so I bought one of the same.
This is what she thought. When the time comes, she will put the clay stove in a charcoal basin so that it can be burned on top of the carriage. It is much safer to be separated by two layers. When it snows, she can make tea in it. Could be warmer.
As for charcoal, I also bought some, the better one, which smokes less and lasts longer, and is more expensive than ordinary charcoal. This doesn't matter. They have money and don't care about this.
I bought twenty kilograms of charcoal, but since I didn't pull the carriage out, I could only carry it in my hands.
Twenty kilograms of charcoal takes up a lot of space. It is packed in a big bag, plus ten kilograms of buckwheat husks, a clay stove and a clay pot. It weighs fifty or sixty kilograms anyway, and it is quite heavy.
Fortunately, Qingyan was very strong, so she asked her boss to pack two sacks, and she could hold one in each hand just right.
The shopkeeper wanted to say that he could ask the waiter to help deliver it, but he swallowed his words when he saw this posture.
After leaving the house, she found a deserted place and put it into the space. As for charcoal, when she was leaving tomorrow, she would drive the carriage past the grocery store to buy another fifty pounds.
This charcoal is not very heavy. Twenty kilograms is a big bag, and fifty kilograms is quite a lot. It is not good to buy too much. You can buy it when you encounter it later.
It is mainly for emergency use. In places where there is firewood, this charcoal is not needed, it is just for emergencies.
After that, I bought some grains, meat and vegetables. The meat was mutton, which was already prepared and divided into pieces.
I didn’t buy any pork. The pigs at this time were not castrated and had a very strong taste. They were not delicious at all if they were not cooked well. It was better to hunt some wild game in the mountains.
Then I went to the drugstore and bought some Chinese medicine that can be used as seasonings. Of course, I also bought onions, ginger, garlic and so on.
When passing by a pastry shop, I smelled a tempting sweet aroma and couldn't help but stop and buy a few items.
I bought two kilograms of something that looked delicious, but it turned out to be eight kilograms, which shocked the pastry shop owner.
When buying snacks, I usually don’t buy so much. If I want to eat at home, I’ll buy half a catty at most to taste it. If I’m visiting relatives, I’ll buy a pound or two.
It’s rare to encounter someone who buys several kilograms of snacks at once. Doesn’t he want to sell them elsewhere?
Of course, even if someone goes to sell it, she can't control it. The door-to-door business will definitely not be stopped. The boss is too late to be happy, so he won't say anything more. He enthusiastically wraps them in straw paper according to the types, fearing that she won't be able to take it, but he is still enthusiastic. He gave me a rattan basket.
She then went to buy a lot of sesame cakes, rounding up the ones freshly baked and the leftover ones.
In fact, I haven't finished eating the previous one, but the space can keep it fresh, so you can't tell the difference between the new and the old ones. These sesame seed cakes are perfect for making dry food, so you won't go wrong with having more.
Not only can it be taken out and eaten, but even after it cools down, it will be crispy, crispy and fragrant when grilled over the fire.
By the time I finished buying these things, it was almost past four in the afternoon.
The main reason is that I have to put things away every time I finish shopping, so the delay is longer.
But it seems a little early to go to a restaurant for dinner now. After all, it gets dark late here, and most people don't have dinner until six or seven o'clock.
Seeing that it was still early, Qingyan simply went to the teahouse to sit there for a while in case she could hear any news. Generally, restaurants and teahouses are the places where news circulates the fastest.
Maybe it was because there was nowhere to go at this time, but there were quite a lot of people in the teahouse, and the lobby was almost full.
There were no storytellers or singers like what was shown on TV. Most of the people were sitting together chatting, and they seemed to know each other.
As soon as Qingyan entered, a waiter came up to greet her. Since she wanted to hear the news, of course she had to sit in the lobby.
Although she could hear it even in the private room due to her hearing ability, it was quite difficult to distinguish various topics in such a noisy environment. It would be better to sit in the lobby and see if she heard something interesting. Who said that.
I found a seat in a corner and sat down, ordering a pot of tea and some dried fruits.
The so-called dried fruits here are peanuts, almonds and walnuts, but there are no sunflower seeds. I don’t know if they don’t have them here, don’t produce them, or the teahouse doesn’t prepare them due to the high cost.
Teahouses are different from restaurants. In restaurants, you pay after you finish your meal, but here you pay in advance. Anyway, it’s the same, with different teas and different prices. As long as you order something, you can sit there for as long as you want. No one will chase you away, and you can refill your water for free.
Three kinds of dried fruits and a pot of tea cost a total of three silver coins, which was not cheap. Converted to the price in later generations, this was equivalent to three hundred yuan.
The price of teahouses in later generations was probably about this.
After paying the money and sending the guy away, Qingyan started to listen with pricked up ears.
Maybe it's because most of the people who come to the teahouse are men, and there are few people who talk about their family's shortcomings. Except for a few braggarts, most of them talk about recent events.
