Traveling through the ancient red envelope system

Chapter 124 She Is A Little Fox
She made an appointment with Lingjiu, and every time he helped her deliver goods, she would give him a jar of fruit wine.

And she doesn’t have much in stock today.

Dozens of jars of fruit wine, except those for self-drinking and giving away, there are a total of more than 30 jars. If they are all used to deal with Jijiu, they can hold on for a while, but Jun Nuo himself is also a good drinker. Adding up the small cups, the jars of fruit wine won't last long.

There are not many ripe fruits in winter and spring, but they are rare.Apart from dates and grapefruits, Junnuo has never seen other fruits during the snow season.

Winemaking takes time, less in the summer and longer in the cold.She doesn't have that much time to wait.

Although the varieties of the fruits collected in Aoqiu are unknown, they are rich in juice and sweet in taste. If you try to use them to make fruit wine, you will probably be able to make it.

The joyful expression on Jun Nuo's face did not seem to be fake, which surprised Nanqiu a little.I thought it would be fine for her to accept it, but Jun Nuo looked very happy.

"That would be great. But I want to remind you that these fruits are just picked, so they are so fresh. If they have to be transported long distances, they may not be stored for a long time." Yanqiu said frankly.

It is only after a short period of time that the value of brewing can be reflected!

The things that the city lord worried about were the least of Jun Nuo's worries.She and Aoqiu checked again before saying, "If the city master has other fruits, you can give them to me."

This is the first time for Junnuo and Yanqiu to work together. No matter whether the partner she is facing is a good partner or not, she has prepared differently before coming.

Looking at it now, although Hanqiu is a shrewd businessman, he is also a businessman with a conscience.While he wants to maximize his benefits, he will also stick to his bottom line.

Jun Nuo took out the seasoning powder that he had prepared a long time ago and packed some candied fruits. "Before I came here, I was thinking about the exchanged food. Now that I'm busy, I forgot about it. Doesn't the city lord want to know the secret of my skewers?" ? That’s it, but I’ve used up many of the seasonings in it and can’t find new ones.”

With a regretful expression, Jun Nuo said: "So I don't have much left, and the last time I brought it was even less. But I thought the city lord would like it, so I brought some from the tribe this time. As for these fruits Do it, it’s just some snacks, the city lord should not dislike it.”

Jun Nuo's expression looked very sincere, but everyone present understood it tacitly.

forget?

You've always carried that bag of stuff under your arm without worrying about it. How could you forget it?
But even so, no one would expose it.Junnuo just said a few words, which made Aoqiu's mood fluctuate greatly.He's wanted those seasoning powders for a long time.

Weighing the small packet of seasoning powder in his hand, Yanqiu felt a little disappointed, but he didn't show it on his face.

If those seasoning powders can be assembled again, this is definitely another good treasure that can be traded freely.Their Nare City is already a medium-sized city, and they can get a lot of cheap salt. Although it can make them richer, the essence will not change much.

But if this kind of seasoning is added, maybe the day when Lare City will become a high-end city will come soon!
Think about it too.How can there be such a good thing in the world, let him take it all at once.He should be lucky to be able to exchange for salt at a cheap price.

"Dried fruit? It turns out that the fruit can still be preserved like this. The women of your Wangcai tribe are really smart and can think of so many useful methods." Yanqiu avoided the matter of seasoning and grabbed a piece of preserved fruit casually.

How could Jun Nuo not see the regretful expression on his face.Half of what she said was hidden, and the other half was hidden, in order to make Aoqiu deeply understand the value of seasoning powder.

Now that he has done some psychological construction, if she brings it up at this time, the effect will be much better.

"It's not difficult, just put it on a plate and dry it slowly. But the seasoning powder... needs to use more than a dozen different plants. It took me a long time to find the best ratio."

Jun Nuo brought the topic back to seasoning powder, and sure enough, he saw the light of hope flashing in Nan Qiu's eyes.

"A dozen kinds of plants?" Qiaoqiu repeated.

If it is more than a dozen different foods, it is really troublesome to gather so many plants. No wonder the people of Wangcai tribe value those seasoning powders so much.

But since Jun Nuo has brought this matter up again, does it mean that things are still turning around?Thinking of this, Aoqiu felt his heart pounding for a moment.

Junnuo solved his doubts in the next moment.

She calmly took out a plate of strange materials from her bosom, and Yanqiu couldn't help but glanced there, and saw portraits drawn with charcoal or other things on those withered, yellow and rough unknown objects.

The shape of the flowers, the size of the leaves, and the height of the plants are clearly marked.Even the veins on the leaves are clearly visible!
Jiaqiu was admiring the delicate patterns, and Jun Nuo said, "It is true that our tribe can't find those plants, but I guess we can find them in other tribes or the Dong tribe."

Jun Nuo showed the stack of portraits to Yiqiu one by one, and said: "With the connections of the city lord, maybe we can find them? As long as the city lord gathers all the portraits, I can handle the next thing." .”

Han Qiu looked up at Jun Nuo suddenly, as if he had understood Jun Nuo's thoughts.But he nodded immediately, carefully put away the portrait that Jun Nuo handed him, and replied: "No problem."

He paused, and then said: "I'll stick it on the notice wall in the city right now, and people in the city will tell me as soon as they see it."

Notice wall?
There is such a thing in Lare City?As far as Jun Nuo knows, there is no corresponding written language in the common language of the world. Even the strange symbols used in the exercises she saw before are recorded in an older way.

However, it is probably because the time interval is too long, those magical patterns and characters have gradually disappeared from the public's field of vision.

The last time she came to Aore City, she didn't see any notice walls.

But these are not within the scope of her worries. Jun Nuo just smiled lightly, and was very satisfied with the city lord's reaction, "Thank you so much for the city lord. But these papers are very fragile, so they can't be torn vigorously, and they can't touch water."

After explaining it to him, Yanqiu took the papers with various plants as if he had found a treasure and left.

"In my square inch, I will take a leisurely break into you..." Jun Nuo hummed a little tune, slowly picking and choosing from the huge pile of food, but she picked some of the food she had never seen before and put it next to her. in the bag.

"Sister Jun Nuo, why did you ask the city lord to find those plants? What if he found them all and configured them successfully?" Xiao Lin asked puzzledly while helping to pack the food.

Mu Zhi happened to be sitting next to Xiao Lin, so he continued, "Did you forget what your sister Jun Nuo said just now?"

Jun Nuo glanced at Mu Zhi and smiled knowingly, "It takes more than a dozen kinds of plants to make a seasoning. Even if the city owner finds all of them, he won't spend ten or eight years trying to make exactly the same seasoning. , it's not that easy."

When Xiao Lin heard this, he gave a clear "oh" at first, and then lowered his head sadly.Why do I always have to explain to others what others can understand?
Seeing this, Mu Zhi smiled and said: "Xiao Lin, you are still young, so naturally you can't compare with your sister Jun Nuo. She is just a little fox, she is smart. She is showing one to the city lord, and secretly giving it to him Put it together."

"Huh?" Xiao Lin became even more confused.

Seeing that Jun Nuo did not object, Mu Zhicai said: "Although the seasoning powder does use many kinds of seasonings, there are not more than a dozen kinds, probably only seven or eight kinds, no more. Your sister Jun Nuo intentionally The purpose of reporting so many kinds of seasonings is to prevent those who are interested in trying them one after another. Ten snow seasons won’t work, a hundred or a thousand, isn’t it okay?”

Jun Nuo stretched out a finger and shook it, "Yes, not right."

"Blindly seasoning powder seems simple, but even if someone gathers all the raw materials, it is useless if he doesn't know how to process it. Just like I can recognize grass, others can recognize grass, but the effect of the medicine is different. This is It’s a truth. Herbs need to be cooked, and seasoning ingredients also need to be used. Some need to be dried, while others need to be fried.”

Including the order before and after addition, it may cause deviation in the final result.Eating is one of the great pleasures in life. Junnuo knows eating best.In this line of work, the slightest difference can lead to a completely different feeling.

"So in addition to the purpose of confusing the hills, there is also a purpose to put those plants that don't need seasoning powder." After Jun Nuo finished speaking, he suddenly corrected his expression, "I want to create words."

The topic jumped a little fast, but no one interrupted her.On the contrary, Fudie, who had been doing nothing all this time, heard Jun Nuo's words, and suddenly cast his eyes on her.

"Whether it's the food planting method or the Nagui exercises and other important exercises, we are now conveying them in oral form. Once we leave Muxiao City, we can't tell them any news we want to pass on." Jun Nuo frowned. Frowning, "And I have a hunch that in the next few days, we will be able to stay in Mu Xiaocheng very few days."

It would be different if there were words. Even if she didn't go back, she could still entrust the task of delivering the message to Jiujiu or other creatures.

"So you're looking for trees suitable for making paper, aren't you?"

Among the several portraits that Jun Nuo handed over to Nanqiu, some of them are patterns of trees that are most suitable for papermaking.Hearing someone ask such a question, she just wanted to say yes, but suddenly felt wrong.

This voice doesn't sound like Mu Zhi's.

She looked in the direction of the voice, and the person who spoke turned out to be Fudie.How did Fudie know about paper, and how could he know that paper can be made from trees?

"Don't look at me with such strange eyes." Fudie said, "I've lived for so long, what haven't I seen?"

"Have you ever seen paper making?" Even Mu Zhi was a little surprised.

Fudie showed a smug expression, which almost put the words "that's nature" on his face.

This is an unexpected harvest. How advanced was the civilization in this world, that even papermaking was discovered early?

Juno took a deep breath.I didn't expect this flower demon, which has lived for tens of thousands of years, to be useful.

"Of course I've seen it. When you were in Mu Xiao City a few days ago, didn't you make a few more? Didn't you just hand it over to that kid from Yanqiu?"

As soon as Fudie finished speaking, Jun Nuo's complexion turned half black, and he asked strangely: "Is there something wrong? I... Did I say something wrong?"

Jun Nuo had the intention of beating someone at the moment, but he had no reason to beat Fu Die hard.The blame is only on myself for thinking too much, but Fudie is actually right.It turned out to be nothing but joy.

But even if papermaking is not discovered, what about writing?Jun Nuo is sure that writing has appeared in this world long ago, but I don't know if Fu Die has heard of it?
With this in mind, Jun Nuo asked, "There's nothing wrong. I just want to ask, have you seen the text?"

Fudie's life of tens of thousands of years is really not in vain.He had indeed heard something about the concept of words.It's just that he was still a crabapple seedling at that time, and his mind was not very clear, let alone remember the words at that time.

"Isn't it just a ghost drawing talisman researched by a few nagging old men? Other than themselves, no one else can understand it at all. Why do you ask about that?" Fudie said casually.

No matter how many people can understand it, as long as there are written records, they will definitely be able to find something beneficial to themselves.For example, some ancient exercises, or the results of research at that time, once you find them, you can save a lot of detours, okay?

Didn't Huai once say that he is the descendant of the first big white goose under the hands of Xiu Nu, one of the eleven ancient gods!
Embroidered women cultivated from humans to become gods. If there were written records in that era, would they be able to...

But to Jun Nuo's disappointment, even though she told Fudie all this, the other party didn't spit out any useful information. Instead, he asked her about papermaking, "Since you already know how to make paper, why do you want to make paper?" Do you want to ask Yanqiu to help you find those trees?"

Theoretically, almost all trees can be used to make paper, but the quality of the paper produced depends on the raw materials.

For example, the trees she cut down from the top of the mountain at will, although the paper was finally made, but it was frizzy, and slag would fall off when touched hard.

This kind of paper is barely usable for drawing.Junnuo doesn't ask how good the paper is, at least not the kind that breaks when touched lightly, right?
After dismissing Fudie, Junnuo felt that she had taken a portion of most of the food on the market to keep samples, and began to help bag everything.At this time, the woman from Aoqiu also arrived, and there was Ao Xiang among them.

"Jun Nuo, why is it you?" Mao Xiang said very happily when she saw Jun Nuo.

Unexpectedly, he would meet an old friend at this time, Jun Nuo also laughed, and told Wu Xiang the reason why he came here.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Maoxiang's complexion looks better, probably because life at home is a little better.She helped Jun Nuo when she was young, and Jun Nuo remembered her kindness.The two of them were sitting together bagging corn, and they had endless topics to talk about.

The city lord acted very quickly, and all the women he sent were skilled hands, and they packed and piled up the food in a short while.Jun Nuo originally wanted to give some incense, but the other party refused. Jun Nuo felt that the friendship between the two of them was not something that could be measured, so he didn't insist.

Nanqiu sent guard soldiers in the city to help deliver the packed food to Junnuo's designated place, with Dashi leading the way.Even if this transaction has come to an end.

When the work was over, it was three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and Yanqiu left Jun Nuo and others to have dinner together, and Jun Nuo was not in a hurry to leave, so he agreed to the invitation of Yanqiu.

It was getting dark now, so they had to wait until daylight before leaving.

During the dinner, Junnuo and Aoqiu agreed on the items for the next transaction, and Junnuo planned to exchange some rings for sale in the Forbidden City.After hearing so many rumors about the Forbidden City, she also wanted to visit there.

Although Fudie kept saying that with him, no one would dare to stop Jun Nuo, Jun Nuo ignored him.

Before he revealed his real purpose, Jun Nuo did not intend to accept his substantial favors, even if they came and went, Fudie took a lot of advantage from her.

It was getting dark quickly, everyone had finished their meal and there was no other activity, the banquet ended at about seven o'clock in the evening.When the group returned to their residence, Jun Nuo had time to take out all kinds of food collected during the day, and draw their appearance one by one with the dim oil lamp.

I knew that Jun Nuo had exchanged so much food with salt at once, and the purpose was not that simple.Although Mu Xiaocheng is short of food, if it's just for food, she has a more convenient way, so there's no need to go through so much trouble.

"There's no outsider around, so why bother yourself?" Mu Zhi brought a charged desk lamp over and sprinkled warm yellow light, making people feel good. "This flame is jumping around, don't hurt your eyes."

After replacing the oil lamp on the stone table, Mu Zhicai picked up the stack of painted food illustrations on the side, and said, "Is this intended to make everyone in Muxiao City pay attention?"

Jun Nuo didn't raise his head, and replied: "Yes. You and I have known for a long time that we should not be limited to the known knowledge. If we only look for those crops that we already know, the degree of difficulty is too high. "

That's why she deliberately replaced all three thousand catties of salt with food.Because there is so much food, Nanqiu can't get it out for a while, so he will definitely search everywhere. As long as it is edible, it is within his consideration.

In this way, there will be no shortage of food prepared by Nanqiu, and most of these things are things that Jun Nuo has never eaten.Having Huaqiu help them screen, it will prevent them from searching like chickens without a head.

"The people in the city who sent these things here must have tried them first. They are responsible for selecting these non-toxic and edible things. As for how to make them delicious, that is the question I should study."

Jun Nuo said with longing: "Now my ability has been improving. Now I come out with everyone, so I slowed down. When we are free, we will go farther alone. I think this trick can be used in the future. Wouldn't it be perfect if different tribes tried it out?"

Mu Zhi smiled indulgently, seeing that Jun Nuo had finished more than half of the painting, he put away the papers spread out on the table.These things won't break if they are placed in the space, why does his Nuonuo have to work so hard, it's all over, it's time to rest.

"It's on fire! Put out the fire!"

At this moment, a woman's frightened scream suddenly came from outside.If there is one, there are two. Then, shouts came one after another from all directions, and the silent night was soon broken by the noise.

"Fire? It shouldn't be." Jun Nuo said strangely: "Let's go, let's go and have a look too. The woman's voice is full of fear, I'm afraid the fire is not small."

The houses in Lare City are all built of stones, which is also a major feature of Lare City, and it took hundreds of years.

Over the years, the gaps in those stone houses have been mixed with dust, and occasionally a few weeds grow.But whether it is stone or soil, it is not something that is easy to catch fire. What exactly caused the fire?

The two hurriedly put on their coats and went out.As soon as the thick animal skin curtain was lifted, the shouts outside resounded even more through the sky.

Jun Nuo did not see the fire, but he saw the orange sky that was slightly illuminated. More and more people woke up from their sleep, picked up everything at home that could hold water and ran towards the back mountain.

"Where is this fire, everyone is so anxious?" Jun Nuo asked a young man who was running past.

"It's a warehouse, a warehouse for sackcloth! Don't ask me any more, just fetch water and put out the fire!" The man had already run away before he finished speaking, and only his voice echoed in Jun Nuo's ears.

Everyone uses a water tank to store water. There is not much water in it. I am afraid that it has been used up in the few minutes after I approved the clothes.Looking at the people running to the back mountain one by one, Jun Nuo said: "When they go to the back mountain, all those linen cloths will be burnt out."

Jun Nuo knew the significance of the linen to Lare City, and immediately looked around, trying to find the source of the thick smoke in the night.Although they are guests, Nanqiu treats them really well, it doesn't make sense to care about you, me, and others at a time like this.

"There is still water in the space. I have always prepared it just in case. I don't care about other things at this time. Let's go there quickly."

Although Junnuo couldn't find the direction of the fire, it was always good to follow everyone.She pulled Mu Zhi and ran towards the warehouse. The men and women who were running with all their strength instantly fell behind her.After a while, we came to the place where the fire was.

The red fire was burning and swaying ferociously.

"Oops! Ah Mian is gone!"

In the crowd, someone yelled, and the crowd instantly became restless.

Jun Nuo was wondering who the "A Mian" was talking about, when he saw that Yanqiu was not even fully dressed, and ran out shirtless in the winter, with a sharp voice: "What did you say? Say it again! "

Nanqiu has always shown the appearance of being shrewd and fruitless, has Jun Nuo ever seen him with such a panicked expression?Reflecting the blazing flames, Yanqiu's face was flushed red, he grabbed the woman like crazy and shouted, "Where did Ah Mian go? Where did Ah Mian go!"

　When I was typing today, I was listening to "Acacia in Dreams", and I wrote two sentences without knowing it.I personally like this song very much, and I also like the words very much~ If you are interested, you can search it~ (Note that it is "Lovesickness at the bottom of a dream" not "Dream"~)
