Chapter 690: The Owner of Xianhai Tower 3

There were also fruits all over the mountains and fields. In the year of the first harvest, everyone's wallet was full.

Now everyone despises Boss Gu as a profiteer...

It is indeed cold and indifferent.

"Thank you for telling me this." Ye Qianning stood up and stretched.

"Miss, what are you talking about? I, Jiang, would like to thank you for the water." Jiang Chenyi also stood up.

"There are many people on your boat, and the water you have isn't enough to get you to the shore. I'll teach you a way to get fresh water."

"A way to get fresh water?" Jiang Chenyi was surprised. A way 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, not quite understanding.

Seeing that they were confused, Ye Qianning decided to be a good person. He 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 the sea water into the pot and lit a fire underneath. Soon the sea water began to boil, and steam rose up and hit the utensils placed above.

The steam turns into water droplets and flows out of the bamboo tube little by little.

Tick-tick, tick-tick, and soon, a layer of water appeared 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: "Try drinking it."

Jiang Chenyi looked at the clear water, hesitated for a moment before picking up the cup and taking a few sips. It didn't taste salty as expected, and his eyes were filled with shock and surprise: "This... This is... fresh water?"

Ye Qianning nodded.

"Let me try it." Jiang Yue took the cup and drank it all, her eyes widening in surprise: "It's really fresh water, sister, you are amazing."

"Girl." Jiang Chenyi was so excited that he didn't know how to describe it.

Simple tools can make fresh water, God, true God.

“It’s called distilled water.”

"Distilled water?"

"Yes, boil the seawater until it boils, and the fresh water evaporates into steam. The steam condenses into distilled water, which is fresh water. When the seawater 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, young lady." Jiang Chenyi bowed deeply to Ye Qianning.

"Nothing, it's just a simple principle."

"No, since the young lady is willing to tell us such an important matter, Jiang will definitely keep it in mind. If the young lady encounters any problems after getting ashore, she can go to the Jiang family in Qingzhou for help." Jiang Chenyi took out a jade token from his arms and handed it to her.

"No."

How can a little common sense cost someone such an important thing?

"Sister, just accept it." Jiang Yue snatched the jade token and forced it into Ye Qianning's hand: "Sister, you saved our lives."

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Ye Qianning said, "Okay."

Jiang Yue chuckled and tried to hold Ye Qianning's arm in a familiar manner.

Ye Qianning dodged instinctively.

Jiang Yue hugged nothing: "Sister?"

"I don't like touching people." Ye Qianning said.

Jiang Yue didn't feel embarrassed at all, scratching her head: "Haha, I'm so abrupt."

——

Two days later, with the method of distilling water, the people on the big ship solved the problem of fresh water. The Jiang family admired the little girl on the small boat very much.

Although Huo Tu was dissatisfied with Ye Qianning, he did not bother her anymore after the water and food issues were resolved.

Huo Feng was very curious about the distillation method and had studied it many times. How come they didn't think of such a simple thing?

In the past two days, Jiang Yue has been on Ye Qianning's boat every day, calling her sister all the time, which made Huo Liran hum again and again. Isn't she just an ugly fish lady? Why is she so nice to her?

Ye Qianning stayed for two days. In addition to Jiang Yue, Jiang Chenyi would also come to sit on the boat. Ye Qianning learned a lot about the four countries from him.

Beili's business is currently quite large, but private trade was banned in the past few years, and business can only be conducted through imperial merchants.

Private merchants in Beili who were unwilling to go on business gradually found other ways to make a living.

Beili's business is profitable and the treasury is getting richer and richer, but the people do not seem to be as rich as before. They basically rely on farming and the weather for their livelihood. If a natural disaster occurs.

The people are suffering terribly.

Ye Qianning felt that Beili was really ruthless in doing things. It had monopolized the business of the whole country and had tasted the sweetness of business. It was likely that it had already set its sights on Nanyuan and Gu Shuo.

Beili has repeatedly approached Gu Shuo to ask him to abide by the Beili Imperial Merchants Regulations and incorporate Nanyuan Aquatic Products and Xianhailou into Beili's industries, but Gu Shuo refused every time. The reason was that Gu Shuo said that the Nanyuan cooperative business and Xianhailou were not owned by the Gu family, and that Gu Shuo had a boss above him.

The boss is not from Beili, and he is a big businessman, so Beili naturally has no control over him.

No one knows who the boss Gu Shuo was talking about is.

The more greedy the Emperor of Beili is, the better he is in her eyes now. She has plenty of ways to defeat the imperial merchants of Beili.

Thinking about it, she couldn't wait any longer.

"Miss Ye is not traveling with us?" Jiang Chenyi was surprised.

"I have something else to do, so I won't be going with you guys."

Jiang Yue frowned when she heard that.

"What's going on? Do you need our help?"

"No need, this is for you." Ye Qianning took out a homemade compass from the space.

"This is?"

"A compass will keep you on the boat."

"A compass? Does it always point south?"

"Yes, no matter which way it turns, its position always points to the south. The direction of the ship is north. If we go in the opposite direction of the compass, the route will not be wrong. If we go fast, we can reach the coast in more than 20 days." Ye Qianning thought that the Jiang brothers and sisters were not bad.

"Thank you, young lady." Jiang Chenyi did not refuse.

For two days, he was truly impressed by this little girl. She knew a lot, and the boat was so novel. There was no need for anyone to steer the boat. It was all mechanical structure, which he had never seen before.

"Sister, are you really not going 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'll go when I have time."

"You must come."

Ye Qianning smiled and nodded.

Jiang Chenyi took Jiang Yue back to the ship.

Ye Qianning's ship slowly shifted direction.

"Jiang Chenyi, why did her ship leave?" Huo Liran lay on the deck, watching the ship go away.

"Miss Ye has something else to do." Jiang Chenyi said perfunctorily.

"What's wrong? It's obviously something fishy. How could you let her go?"

Jiang Chenyi frowned: "Miss Ye is a free person, you can leave if you want. Miss Huo, please be careful with your words."

"That's right, if it weren't for Sister Ye, would you have fresh water to drink? Your tone is so foul." Jiang Yue couldn't stand Huo Liran the most.

"You...what kind of magic potion did she give you Jiang brothers and sisters? If you let her go, and 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.
