"Is your brother a quick learner? Why didn't I know?"
"Dad, you heard me right. Now Mr. Yu can teach me how to do it. At such an old age, it feels awkward to sit with a bunch of brats all day long, and he himself feels uncomfortable."
"Okay, I'll go talk to Mr. Yu tomorrow."
When Yu Xiucai called Su Sheng to Class B with a smile, Su Sheng was still in a state of "where am I and who am I".
…………
Su Yu looked outside the house. It had been raining for five consecutive days and it hadn't stopped yet.
"When will this rain stop?"
Su Laoer looked up at the dark sky with no bright color at all.
"not sure."
"Then you went to the village and asked other families if they had extra soil foundations?"
"I have already asked about it, and several of them have enough money for our family. We negotiated with them for one penny per dollar, and they were happy to sell it."
"Okay, when the rain stops, you can quickly find someone to build a house."
"Um."
Ever since she went to Taihe Building to find the cow shopkeeper that day, Su Yu started preparing to build a house specifically for hatching chicks. She couldn't always hatch them in her house. Previously, a hundred eggs didn't take up much space, but when they hatched, they would The smell of chicken shit wouldn't go away for several days. She was really fed up.
There must be a lot of duck eggs hatched this time, and she doesn't have enough room, so she plans to build a special house in the open space next to it. Su Yu has already drawn a plan and plans to build a fire wall in the house, which can ensure the whole house. temperature. It's just that this degree is a bit difficult to grasp. It would be nice if there was a thermometer.
Thinking of this, Su Yu sighed and asked her to get a thermometer somewhere in this era where people rely on communication and shouting when going out.
If it doesn't work, she can make one by herself. She doesn't need high standards. The temperature of hatching eggs is between 37 and 39 degrees. It's enough to be able to measure the temperature difference. She made a fire wall. With the blessing of a thermometer, she can There is no need to stay in the house all day, otherwise the high temperature of almost 40 degrees will dry it out for her after twenty days in the house.
Just do it. To make a thermometer, you must first have the materials. I remember learning it when I was in school, but I can’t remember it clearly. Whatever, let’s do it first.
After searching around the house, she really couldn't find anything useful to replace glass. She knew that Dazhou had colored glaze, which to put it bluntly was modern glass, so she thought about it. She couldn't buy it with all the money she had at home. A glass bead, don’t even think about a small glass vase. But can other things work? How about trying a porcelain vase first? I don’t have a porcelain vase at home, so I have to go to the town to buy it.
When she thought of it, she asked Su Laoer to take her to the town, otherwise she would not be able to sleep at night with all her thoughts on her mind.
"Dad, let's go to the blacksmith shop and order things tomorrow. I just want to go buy some things."
It had been raining for the past two days, and Su Laoer had nothing to do at home. Hearing that his daughter wanted to go to town, he agreed without thinking.
"Okay, let's go early tomorrow morning, but it's raining too much so we won't go."
"good."
The glass bottle can be replaced with a porcelain bottle first. What should I use to replace the straw? And it had to be transparent. Otherwise, if it was just a pipe, she directly replaced it with wheat straw. There was no need to go to the street to find it.
The rain was not heavy the next day. When the father and daughter went to town, they went straight to the blacksmith shop and ordered all the ironware that could be used at home. Su Laoer went shopping with his daughter. He had something on his mind, and Su Yu was not in the mood either. After shopping, I went to a shop specializing in porcelain in town.
There are only two porcelain shops in the town, both of which are not big and the business is so-so. If the rich gentlemen in the town want to buy porcelain, they will not buy it in the town. They go directly to the county or prefectural city to buy it. People with money can't afford porcelain, and the people who come to patronize the porcelain shop are only the poorer ones in the town. Therefore, the business of the two shops has never been very good, and they can barely make ends meet.
The father and daughter entered a porcelain shop named Zheng Ji. From the name, they knew it was passed down from the older generation of the family. When the shopkeeper saw a customer coming, he immediately greeted him.
Now the father and daughter wear new clothes made by Lian when they go out. The material is cotton bought by Su Yu, which is very comfortable to use. Of course, the price is not cheap. Mrs. Lian had been nagging about this for a long time, saying that Su Yu was spending money indiscriminately, and clothes were enough.
Su Yu didn't want to give in and asked Lian to go buy the designated linen. Her family's clothes used to be made of linen. Linen is hard and will scratch your skin when you make new clothes for your upper body. It is not as comfortable as this cotton fabric. Her family now has no shortage of one or two taels of cloth to buy. Su Yu bought it according to the cloth that one person and two people in the family had at that time. There is no money left. This kind of cotton cloth is considered average in the town. How can it be uncomfortable to wear on the body.
If they entered the store wearing the same clothes they wore when they first came to Yujia Village, the shopkeeper would probably ask the waiter to kick them out without even looking at them. It can't be said that the shopkeeper is snobbish. The two of them didn't dress like someone who could buy porcelain. They were afraid that their enemies were looking for trouble. The porcelain was delicate and if it was accidentally broken, they couldn't afford to pay for it.
"My dear guests, what do you need to buy?"
"Shopkeeper, do you have such a tall porcelain vase with the same size as the porcelain body and mouth?"
Su Yu made a gesture.
The shopkeeper was dumbfounded. This was the first time that someone came to the porcelain store to buy such porcelain. What could it be used for if it was so small?
"Sir, this really doesn't exist."
"Then what are the smallest porcelain bottles of yours? Take me to see them."
Without Su Yu, we had to settle for the next best thing.
In fact, the smallest porcelain vase in ancient times was the small porcelain vase used by doctors to hold pills. There are many stores selling such porcelain vase, and most of them are bought by various medical clinics. Individuals buy very few.
Su Yu took the smallest one among them, not sure whether it could be used, so he could only buy one to try first.
A porcelain vase is not expensive, costing ten cents each. Su Yu paid the money and was about to leave, when he thought of something and looked at the shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper, I would like to ask, where can I buy hollow pipes in town? The pipes are transparent and about the same size as chopsticks?"
The shopkeeper thought for a while and couldn't remember what the transparent tube was.
"I haven't seen it before, I don't know where to buy it."
Su Yu was not disappointed and left the shop to look elsewhere.
Seeing the person leaving, the shopkeeper shook his head. There are really all kinds of weirdos these days.
Su Laoer didn't ask any questions inside the shop. When he got out of the shop, he couldn't help but ask: "Dear girl, why did you buy a bottle?"
"It will be of great use if you buy it. I will show it to dad when it is done. Now that I have told you, you don't understand."
Su Laoer is not a very curious person. His daughter already said so, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Xinglin Town is not big, and there are only three streets selling things. Su Yu doesn't know where to buy them, so he can only browse one by one. After shopping all three streets, he still can't find what he wants to buy.
"Daughter, I'm afraid I don't have the transparent tube you want to buy."
Su Yu looked disgusted.
"I know."
"Then where are we going now?"
"Go back and let me think of something else."
