Chapter 154 Life-saving Things
Chapter 154 Life-saving Things
Cloud City, Spiral Well Visitor Area.
Inside the wooden room, the lights are warm and white, cool and comfortable.
There are individual flower tables against the walls around the perimeter, but there are no flowers on them.
"This, this, this..." The young man pushed aside the old man in front of him and rushed straight towards the place with fewer people in front of him.
"Is this a smaller version of the spiral well?" The young master exclaimed in surprise, and then raised his voice in vain, "Is this thing for sale?"
If you buy this, you can dig a well like this yourself!
Whether you are doing business or living at home, water is essential. If you can have a well that can be passed down from generation to generation and left to your descendants, wouldn’t it be better than gold, silver and jewelry?
This is life-saving stuff!
"Sir, wait a moment. Of course it's for sale!" A curtain was lifted, and a man came out holding a large wooden box in his arms. "Sir, please take a look at your well!"
He walked up to a wealthy old man, opened the wooden box, and revealed a wooden carving model of a spiral well.
Li Yushi squeezed through in two steps. The outer wall of the well, the inner wall of the well, the handrails, the steps, the water-like wood grain...
Realistic, extremely realistic...
"Give the young master one, no, two..."
"I want two too..."
Me, and me...
……
Censor Li didn't know how he got out.
I wonder how many of these lifelike models have been sold, and whether they have spread to other lands...
He was holding a wooden box in his arms. It was a model of a spiral well that he had bought for five hundred taels...
You don't need to report his identity as an imperial censor, you don't need to see his travel permit, as long as you have money, you can buy it...
His heart felt cold.
Think about the blueprint that His Majesty got from the capital...
Colleagues are excited...
……
"Master, where are we going next? To the training ground in the south of the city or the collection gallery in the north of the city?" The servant boy turned his head and asked, holding a pile of things.
Of course it’s the collection house in the north of the city!
Censor Li didn't bother to keep a low profile and hired a carriage to go straight to the North City Collection.
He didn't know why he was so anxious. Was he afraid that something else would be sold?
He regretted a little that he had come so slowly along the way, and his heartbeat gradually quickened.
Censor Li lifted the carriage curtain and kept his eyes looking outside.
Arrived.
A spacious courtyard, a grand gate with the words "Yuncheng Collection" written on it, and the ticket price is ten taels per person.
After buying two tickets, Censor Li went in with his servant.
I guess there weren't many people in the collection hall because no one would skip lunch just to visit.
There is a gray wall at the entrance with a bird's-eye view of Yuncheng painted on it.
There is a door on each side of the gray wall, and a wooden sign on the right hand side with a "→" arrow drawn on it. Below the arrow is written: Warm reminder: Direction of visit.
Censor Li obeyed and walked to the right after passing the gray wall.
After leaving the gate building, I entered an exhibition hall. There were too many candles, so bright that it was blinding. There was no ice, and it was very hot.
After adjusting to the light, he opened his eyes.
What meets the eye is dry and cracked land with gullies everywhere. It is desolate, barren and without any grass. There is a sign next to it: Winter.
Censor Li seemed to be thinking about something.
Turn around and go out to the second exhibition hall.
There are a few more expressionless, skinny wooden figures, but the rest are the same.
There is a sign next to it: Spring.
The third exhibition hall.
Paintings appeared on the walls.
Go around the cracked ground and come to the back.
Many of the paintings on the walls are of people, leaning against the wall, lying on the roadside, being pulled away by ox carts...
Holding my head and crying, my expression was numb, empty and powerless...
The whole painting gives people a feeling of depression, despair, and breathlessness...
Censor Li turned his head and saw a sign next to him: Epidemic.
The fourth exhibition hall.
The environment is the same, and it’s the same painting, but the people in the painting are standing up, queuing, holding a bowl, and holding a black meatball in their hands...
There is a sign next to it: Rescue.
The fifth exhibition hall.
The long-lost coolness greets us, and the exhibition halls after the fifth hall are connected in the middle.
A moon door opened.
There are staff inside.
And souvenirs! …
There is an exhibition hall with pictures of the people of Yuncheng digging wells, and the souvenirs are models of spiral wells, each costing five hundred taels.
The picture of the people of Yuncheng digging a reservoir is an exhibition hall. Well, you can play with cement on the spot...
Censor Li fell silent as he looked at the crowded hall. It turned out that it wasn't that there was no one here at noon, but that everyone was playing with cement.
The sixth exhibition hall provides cement to visitors, but it costs silver. Based on what you want to make, someone on site will assess how much cement you need.
After you buy the cement, a master will teach you how to use it, and you can also take the things you make away.
Censor Li asked the staff if there was any method to make cement?
Inside the exhibition hall, you could hear a pin drop.
The staff member was very polite and sneered: "Are you dreaming, old man? This is the secret of our Qing Kingdom!"
The somewhat sarcastic woman rolled her eyes, pursed her lips, and invited him to the seventh exhibition hall...
Censor Li let out a long sigh, then laughed out loud.
"No, is he mentally ill?!" A familiar voice came from behind.
"Shh, during work hours, the customer is king!"
The woman snorted, adjusted her expression and stood back up...
……
The walls of the seventh exhibition hall are covered with colorful paintings.
He had seen one of them in front of the emperor, and had also seen half of it outside the city, with green seedlings and red fruits.
He hadn't seen the rest.
A staff member came forward to explain.
“Sir, this exhibition hall is filled with pictures of Yuncheng’s new agricultural products, but they are not yet mature.
You can take some paintings back as souvenirs, and come back to Yuncheng to taste the food and vegetables when they are ripe."
Censor Li looked up and examined them carefully. The sweet potato leaves were almost identical to the leaves in the fields outside the city.
The painter's painting skills are very good.
He could foresee how pleasing it would be if the sweet potatoes really grew into bright red fruits...
"Have you planted all these in Yuncheng? When will they be ripe?" he asked.
"Master, most of them have been planted. As for the time it takes to mature, the fastest green vegetables only need 30 days, and most other vegetables need 60 days.
As for grains, it takes a long time to mature, some take 100 days, and some take around 120 days.”
"Well, do you have seeds and planting methods for sale?"
……
Li Yushi finally bought a bunch of paintings and was sent away happily...
There are only paintings, nothing else!
The man was also very polite and concerned about his health. He asked him, "Is there anything wrong with your brain?"
Of course there is nothing wrong with him, but the staff member must have some problem with his eyes, his eyeballs are about to roll up to the sky...
The old man became happier and happier as he walked around. Suddenly, when he came to an ice room, he shivered from the cold.
This is too cold.
Maybe because it was too cold, there were no staff and no souvenirs to buy.
But in the middle there is a piece of writing: Ice is sold in Quelou from all over the country!
The book boy was shivering from the cold and silently moved towards the door. "Master, let's go back. We have finished visiting the collection hall and bought souvenirs. We can go back now."
go!
After leaving the ice room, there is a winding corridor outside. It is a beautiful view, with mountains, rocks, flowing water, and shady green trees. It doesn't look dry at all.
Li Yushi finally let go of his worries, and then he felt hungry...
The bowl of wontons I ate in the morning has already been digested...
only……
