There are also fruits all over the mountains and fields. In the year of the first harvest, everyone’s wallets were bulging.
Now everyone despises Boss Gu as a profiteer...
It sounds really cool.
"Thank you for telling me this." Ye Qianning stood up and stretched.
"Girl, what are you talking about? Jiang wants to thank the girl for the water." Jiang Chenyi also stood up.
"There are many people on your boat, and the little water is not enough for you to reach the shore. I will teach you a way to get fresh water."
"How to get fresh water?" Jiang Chenyi was surprised, how to get fresh water?
"Sister, how can we get fresh water without going ashore?" Jiang Yue was very curious.
"Distillation."
“What is distillation?”
"It's just water vapor."
Jiang Chenyi frowned and didn't understand.
Ye Qianning saw that they were confused, so he followed through, took out the pots and pans, walked out of the cabin, and simply built a shelf on the deck.
Take out the brazier and place it under the pot.
"Mr. Jiang, please bring some sea water."
Jiang Chenyi nodded, picked up the container, and used a rope to get a bucket of sea water.
Ye Qianning poured seawater into the pot and lit the fire below. After a while, the seawater began to boil, and steam rose up on the utensils placed above.
The steam turns into water droplets and flows out bit by bit along the bamboo tube.
Tick tick tick, before long, there was a layer of water in the container under the bamboo tube.
Ye Qianning poured the water into the cup, waited for it to condense and then handed it to Jiang Chenyi: "Drink and see."
Jiang Chenyi looked at the clear water. He hesitated before picking up the cup and took a few sips. There was no salty taste as expected. His eyes were shocked and surprised: "Is this... is this... fresh water?"
Ye Qianning nodded.
"Let me try it." Jiang Yue took the cup and drank it in one gulp, her eyes widened in surprise: "It's really fresh water, sister, you are so amazing."
"Girl." Jiang Chenyi was so excited that he didn't know how to describe it.
Simple tools can make fresh water, gods, true gods.
"This is called distilled water."
"Distilled water?"
"Yes, boil the sea water until it boils, the fresh water evaporates into water vapor, and the steam condenses to become distilled water, which is fresh water. When the sea water in the pot is burned out, what is left is sea salt."
Jiang Chenyi's eyes fell on the equipment. It turned out that it was so easy to obtain fresh water. With this method, people who were lost at sea would not die due to lack of fresh water.
"Thank you, girl." Jiang Chenyi bowed deeply towards Ye Qianning.
"It's nothing, it's just a simple principle."
"No, the girl is willing to tell us such an important matter. Jiang must keep it in mind. If the girl encounters anything after landing, she can go to the Jiang family in Qingzhou for help." Jiang Chenyi said and took out a coin from his arms. The jade token was handed to her.
"No."
How can a little common sense ask for something so important?
"Sister, just accept it." Jiang Yue snatched the jade token and forced it into Ye Qianning's hands: "Sister is a life-saving grace to us."
Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Ye Qianning said, "Okay."
Jiang Yue chuckled and wanted to hold Ye Qianning's arm.
Ye Qianning instinctively avoided.
Jiang Yue hugged Kong Yue: "Sister?"
"I don't like to touch others." Ye Qianning said.
Jiang Yue didn't feel embarrassed at all and scratched her head: "Haha, it was me who was abrupt."
——
Two days later, with the method of distilling water, the people on the big boat solved the problem of fresh water. The Jiang family all admired the little girl on the small boat.
Although Huo Tu was dissatisfied with Ye Qianning, the water and food issues were settled, but he didn't bother her again.
Huo Feng was very new to the distillation method and had studied it many times. Why didn't they think of such a simple thing?
For the past two days, Jiang Yue has been on Ye Qianning's boat every day. Her older sister is taller than her younger sister, which made Huo Liran snort again and again. Isn't she just an ugly fish girl? How can she be so flattering?
Ye Qianning stayed for two days. In addition to Jiang Yue, Jiang Chenyi would also sit on the boat. He learned a lot about the four countries from his mouth.
Beili's business is currently very large, but private trading was prohibited in the past few years, and business can only be conducted through imperial merchants.
Private merchants in Beili who were unwilling to engage in business gradually began to make a living elsewhere.
Beili's business is making money, and the national treasury is getting richer and richer, but the people seem not as wealthy as before. They basically rely on farming and relying on the weather to survive. If there is a natural disaster.
The people were miserable.
Ye Qianning felt that Beili was really good at what he did. He monopolized the country's business and took advantage of the business. He was afraid that his eyes had already been set on Nanyuan and Gu Shuo.
Beili sought out Gu Shuo many times to ask him to abide by the regulations of Beili Royal Merchant and accept Nanyuan Aquatic Products and Xianhai Building as Beili's industries, but Gu Shuo refused. Gu Shuo said that Nanyuan's cooperative business and Xianhai Building were not From the Gu family, there is a boss above Gu Shuo.
The boss is not from Beili and is a big businessman, so Beili naturally has nothing to do with him.
No one knows who the boss Gu Shuo is talking about.
The more greedy Emperor Beili is, the better it is in her eyes now. She has plenty of ways to defeat Beili's imperial merchants.
Thinking about it, she couldn't wait.
"Miss Ye is not coming with us anymore?" Jiang Chenyi was surprised.
"I still have some things to do, so I won't go with you."
Jiang Yue frowned upon hearing this.
"What's the matter? Do you need our help?"
"No, this is for you." Ye Qianning took out a homemade compass from the space.
"This is?"
"The compass will keep you from losing your way on the ship."
"Compass? Does the direction always point to the south?"
"Yes, no matter where it turns, its position points to the south, and the direction of the ship's travel is exactly north. As the compass moves in the opposite direction, the route will not go wrong. If it is fast, it will take more than 20 days to reach the coast." Ye Qianning I think the Jiang family siblings are pretty good.
"Thank you, girl." Jiang Chenyi did not refuse.
In the past two days, he truly admired this little girl. He knew a lot. The ship was very novel. There was no need for anyone to steer it. It was all a mechanism that he had never seen before.
"Sister, are you really not going to leave with us?" Jiang Yue pouted and looked at her eagerly.
"kindness."
"Sister, when you get ashore, you must come to Qingzhou to find me."
"I will go when I have time."
"Must come."
Ye Qianning smiled and nodded.
Jiang Chenyi took Jiang Yue back to the ship.
Ye Qianning's ship slowly shifted its direction.
"Jiang Chenyi, why did her ship leave?" Huo Liran lay on the deck and watched the ship go away.
"Miss Ye, there is something else." Jiang Chenyi said perfunctorily.
"What's going on? It's obviously a ghost. How could you let her go?"
Jiang Chenyi frowned: "Miss Ye is a free woman. She can go when she wants. Miss Huo should pay attention to her words."
"That's right, if it weren't for Sister Ye, would you have fresh water to drink? Your tone of voice is so bad." Jiang Yue disliked Huo Liran the most.
"You... what kind of ecstasy soup did she pour into you Jiang brothers and sisters? You let her go. If she points us in the wrong direction, even if there is fresh water, it will be useless."
Jiang Chenyi's face darkened slightly.
"Second brother, let's go and ignore her." Jiang Yue dragged Jiang Chenyi into the cabin.
