Further on, all around, there were shops selling whips, saddles, and other riding equipment.
Further on, there were penned fat sheep, tethered horses, and yellow cattle.
Where they live, cattle are used for plowing fields; the people wouldn't dare eat them.
Qiu Yan has never eaten beef since she came to this other world.
To her surprise, she found that some of the business people there could speak some simple Chinese with her.
Although they live in different parts of the country and don't interact much, they still have some exchanges.
She inquired about prices along the way, and found that they were 70% cheaper than in their Baiyang area.
I really want to buy them all and resell them in Dongjin.
Unfortunately, she can only watch now.
Ling Ba had never been to this street where livestock were sold before, but now that he was strolling around with Xiao Yan, he found it quite interesting.
As Qiu Yan walked around, she discovered that the entire town was actually larger than Baiyang City, and the roads were also wider.
Ling Qi selected a strong and healthy horse as his new mount.
They walked and looked around, turning back three streets before finally spotting a pharmacy.
Qiu Yan went inside, bought sulfur, and then continued searching for other pharmacies.
Throughout the morning, they visited three pharmacies and bought all the sulfur they had.
Because she wanted to make gunpowder.
In Qiu Yan's view, although the amount of sulfur was not much, it was enough to ensure the soldiers had some protection on their way back.
They bought several more sacks of food, and shortly before lunch, they went to the mining area to prepare lunch for the soldiers.
With so many soldiers, cooking meals together in a communal pot was truly exhausting.
Qiu Yan directly mixed two large pots of thick dumpling soup. In addition to some of her homemade fresh ingredients, she also added meat chunks to the soup.
Baked naan bread remains an essential item.
She wanted to steam buns, but even a whole pot wouldn't be enough to fill a tooth gap.
Even if the soldiers had money, let alone if they had, it would have been impossible for each of them to have a naan bread.
Previously, Commandant Yuan had directly designated a shop to supply food exclusively to his area.
Qiu Yan also noticed that, even with the purchase of naan bread alone, each soldier could only receive half a naan.
Others share one portion of food among three people, and because they are often hungry, they are frequently weak and listless.
After lunch, Qiu Yan and the other two rested on the grass for a while, and then Qiu Yan began making charcoal.
Gunpowder and penicillin are what Qiu Yan wants to do most right now.
Qiu Yan has already tested penicillin on herself and found it to have anti-inflammatory effects.
Fortunately, she is not allergic to penicillin.
She had to make extra for the soldiers, but if any of them had allergic reactions, there was nothing she could do.
Regarding mold removal, it's simple.
Didn't she buy so much food this morning?
To make charcoal, you first need to build a small stone kiln.
Charcoal needs to be heated in a sealed environment for four to six hours, and then allowed to cool naturally for about twelve hours.
Therefore, a complete charcoal making process takes about two to three days.
No matter how urgent Qiu Yan's situation is, this matter still requires a procedure.
Poor Qin Susu was dragged along by Qiu Yan to pick up stones and mix mud.
God knows how devastated she was.
Ling Ba was in charge of building the stone kiln.
Within an hour, the small stone kiln took initial shape.
It is described as tiny because it is only twice the size of a fire stove.
After it was shaped, Qiu Yan lit a fire to dry it, filled the kiln with firewood, and started burning it, the purpose of which was to carbonize the firewood inside the kiln.
Qiu Yan spent her second day at the mining area in a flurry of activity.
