"It's so cold."
Who said that the body temperature in ancient times was not that cold?
When he first entered the Guannai Road, he could still feel the warm breath blowing from the south, resisting some of the cold current from the north.
But as he got closer to Jing'an City, the wind and sand blowing from the northwest clearly made him realize that the climate here was indeed very different from that of Jinling.
If it weren't for the Cloud Breathing Skill to protect his body, he would have to huddle in the carriage like other wealthy students from Jiangnan Road and take out all the cotton-padded clothes and silk quilts that can be wrapped around his body to keep out the cold.
Even though he didn't need to be wrapped so tightly, he still wore thick clothes.
It's only late autumn now. If we wait until winter, in this era without heating, I really don't know how much suffering we will suffer.
It's not that Ning Wuyan has never experienced the cold in the far north. He has also been to Chang'an City, which has a similar geographical environment to Jing'an City, but that environment was accompanied by spring-like heating. He has never experienced it so truly. the power of nature.
Decided.
When they arrived in Jing'an City, they first built the equipment that Hua Normal University needed to purify the artemisia annua juice, and then used the craftsmen in Jing'an City to build a heated room in the house where he lived.
In addition to going out for competitions or when something happens, at other times, you can be a homebody, playing with cats and dogs.
"Meow~~"
Mimi, who had been nestling at his feet, seemed to feel something, and leaned closer to his legs where there was more heat and energy.
One person and one cat huddled up into two small groups, one large and one small, and were about to shake themselves to keep warm.
Ning Wuyu took a black-feathered cloak from somewhere and put it on him.
"Haha, fifth brother, you used to dare to practice kung fu shirtless in winter. I didn't expect you to be so afraid of the cold."
Yeah?
Ning Wuyao thought: Then I was really a tiger before.
I have to say that youth is good, and you should have style rather than warmth.
Ning Wuyang tilted his head and glanced at the cloak on his body.
The fur on the cloak is not as shiny as new ones, and the feathers should have been plucked from geese instead of wild geese, but when put on it, it instantly withstood all the cold and felt as warm as if it were a heated room.
Sure enough, physical attacks require objects to resist.
It is said that there are many good things in the hunting ground on the outskirts of Jing'an City, and there is an opportunity to make a better cloak for the third brother. Since the third brother often goes out, there is no need for a heating room. In addition to relying on a strong body to withstand the severe cold, he can only rely on equipment.
"How can you participate in a competition in such a cold weather? It won't freeze everyone to death?"
Just when Ning Wuyan was thinking about how to simplify the heating device he had seen before to adapt to this era, Qin Shi saw him shivering in a big cloak and couldn't help laughing.
"Mr. Ning, you don't have to worry. The capital is not that cold. It's cold here because there are few people and the mountains are far away from the wind. There are high mountains to the north of the capital to block the cold. Plus there are many people in the city. In winter, it's still sunny. Someone is wearing autumn clothes."
The ones wearing autumn clothes must be the concubines in the palace.
After all, the concubines in the palace were grilled over a charcoal fire. She could show off her figure in front of the old emperor for a while, but when she returned to the palace and tried to cover up the heat, she wouldn't get cold.
But he didn't like the smell of charcoal fire, so he still used a heated room.
However, Qin Shi's eldest brother had something to say that was rather crude but not crude.
If there are more people, it won't seem so cold.
"It's cloudy today, so it's so cold. It'll be better when the sun comes out."
Faced with Qin Shi's various explanations, Ning Wuyao responded, but in his heart he never changed his idea of improving the surrounding environment if he could not change the weather.
The cold weather lasted the whole day.
The next day, the sun shines brightly.
When the walls of Jing'an City were already visible in the distance, before entering the city, Ning Wuyan took off the cloak that he had worn all day yesterday.
It's really not that cold anymore.
Especially since the wound on his butt had formed a scar, he no longer had to expend physical energy to recover, and he didn't feel so cold anymore.
But that didn't stop him from insisting on the idea of building a heated room.
Just right.
It is said that Zhou Jingxian has become the construction supervisor of the Ministry of Industry. It should not be a problem to find Zhou Jingxian through the back door and get thousands of kilograms of iron ore.
It's okay if there are any problems. As long as Zhou Jingxian lets the old emperor know the effectiveness of the heating room and how many wealthy families demand it, I believe the old emperor will support him.
After taking the last medicine, Ning Wuyan did a set of Tai Chi in slow motion before eating breakfast to restore his muscles and bones after lying flat for many days and prepare him to face new challenges.
After the carriage moved forward for another hour, the man who was scouting the road in front of the convoy came to report.
"Sir, you can enter Jing'an City in the afternoon!"
It could be heard that the people exploring the convoy were very excited.
It took more than half a month to walk from Jinling to Jing'an City. On the way, I almost had a car of perfume impounded and had a conflict with the local government.
I won’t mention these little things.
The key is that the food, drink and accommodation conditions on the road are all very adequate. Compared to the bumpy carriages and carts, everyone would rather sleep on a strong and comfortable big bed.
Ning Wuyan joked to the explorers: "There is a vast plain ahead, do we still need to wait until the afternoon to enter Jing'an City? Can't we hurry up and rush to Jing'an City for lunch?"
There are many delicacies in Jinling City, but in this era, they are still not as good as Jing'an City where delicious food is gathered.
Even though he could occasionally catch game on the road, he even made dried meat before leaving home.
However, he still wanted to eat some hot meals that were freshly cooked.
The explorer suddenly looked embarrassed and pointed at the city gate in front of him.
"Young master, you don't know something. The gate towers in Jing'an City are not like our city Jinling. Officials follow the official road, merchants follow the business road, and passers-by walk on the passerby's road. They only have one avenue divided into incoming and outgoing. , coupled with the recent strict inspection of entry and exit, there is already a long queue in front, it will be good to enter the city in the afternoon. "
Unexpectedly, the problem of road blockage did not arise only when there were more vehicles, but has existed since ancient times.
Fortunately, there are only two roads in Jing'an City. Except for the west and north directions, the other city gates are not closed at night under curfew.
Come in early and come in late... When Ning Wuhao encountered this situation, he really wanted to order takeout.
The convoys need to be strictly inspected and cannot be entered, and those who deliver food should find ways to get in and out easily.
Thinking like this, he saw Shen Youchu walking towards him happily with three copper coins spinning in his hand.
"Mr. Ning, the capital is ten miles ahead. Whatever you want to eat, I'll ask Mei Xiang to buy it and deliver it to you."
Mei Xiang, who was following Shen Youchu, also looked expectant.
After eating dried meat and dry food for so many days, Mei Xiang's mouth has long faded away.
If the situation didn't allow it, let alone going to the city to buy food, she would have wanted to go home and dismantle the stove, then go to the market to catch some chickens and fish, buy side dishes and seasonings, and let Mr. Ning start the fire on the spot.
The chefs in many restaurants in the capital are not as good as Ning Gongzi.
Ning Wuyan didn't expect that Miss Shen was so good at running errands. It didn't matter if she couldn't order takeout. Mei Xiang had good legs and feet, so she could just get it herself.
"Why do you have the nerve to trouble Miss Mei Xiang to go there in person?"
Before Mei Xiang could say it didn't matter, Ning Wuhuang took out a banknote from his wallet and stuffed it into Mei Xiang's hand.
"Meixiang, what do you like to eat? Can you please pack a few portions for me and bring them back. I'll cook them in person someday to thank you for today's meal. The rest of the banknote will be used as errand fees for you. Thank you!"
