"Wow, sister, there really is no wind or snow in here!" Yun Mingyuan said excitedly as he went in first.
Yun Zhourong smiled and said, "Yes, we can lay some straw on the ground and it will be very comfortable to sleep on."
"This...this...this..."
The constables and others all gathered around, their faces filled with disbelief. "A masterpiece of craftsmanship! It's simply a masterpiece of craftsmanship! If we had this, we would never have to worry about sleeping in the wild again!"
"Where...where did you get this thing from?"
The eldest son's family stared wide-eyed in disbelief, their hearts filled with intense jealousy.
"I have no comment." Yun Zhourong rolled her eyes.
"Miss Yun, may we also buy one?" the head constable couldn't help but ask.
In the Dasheng Dynasty, most post stations were located every thirty li.
However, in some special sections, post stations were built only after sixty li (approximately 30 kilometers), with only rest stops along the way, and no accommodation was provided.
Therefore, in such situations, one has no choice but to camp outdoors.
But with this tent, they will be much more comfortable resting in the future.
“Of course, but I don’t know the exact value of this thing. It was provided to me for free, and I don’t know if they would be willing to give it to you, sir,” Yun Zhourong said with some difficulty.
In the future, she will bring out more and more good things, so she can't just give them away for free, otherwise it will only encourage these servants to be greedy.
The bottom line must be set from the very beginning.
“We understand that, Miss Yun. Please help us ask around. We’ll buy it if the price is right,” the head constable quickly said.
This is absolutely a great product. It not only shelters you from the wind and rain, but also keeps out snakes, insects, and rodents. It's worth every penny!
“Okay, I’ll go ask.” Since there was money to be made, Yun Zhourong immediately agreed.
An hour later, Yun Zhourong returned with two little girls and a bunch of things.
At this moment, both of them were wearing down jackets and snow boots, and their originally pale faces were now rosy, filled with joy.
The tents meant for the constables were sold by Yun Zhourong for fifty taels of silver.
Actually, she felt that even if she sold it for five hundred taels, someone would want it, but since she was dealing with a constable, she didn't dare to ask for more. She still had to be tactful and know how to navigate social situations.
As for the down jacket, it sold for five taels.
As for instant noodles, they're being given away for free this time. If you want to eat them again in the future, a box will cost 50 coins.
The constables knew that Yun Zhourong had given them special treatment regarding the price, so they paid without haggling.
Then, they happily went to set up their tents.
Seeing Yun Zhourong earn eighty taels in a short time, the eldest branch of the family were extremely envious, secretly wondering who was helping the second branch, which was utterly despicable.
Yun Zhourong and his group didn't care about their thoughts and went into the tent with the rest of their things.
Then he zipped up the zipper, blocking the resentful gazes of the eldest son's family.
Ji Minxiu brought them the following items: hand warmers, thermos cups, stainless steel bowls and chopsticks, sweaters, stun guns, bulletproof vests, folding fruit knives, and three eight-pound cotton quilts.
"Wow, this heat pack actually started heating up on its own after I put it on!"
"How on earth did they do that?"
"Sister, this sweater is so soft and warm, it's so comfortable!"
"..."
Yun Zhourong's act of sharing the items with everyone elicited gasps of surprise from them.
Yun Zhourong understood their feelings, and just smiled before continuing, "This is called a cotton quilt, it's made of the cotton I mentioned before. Dad, look, it's very warm."
"Great! This is wonderful! This quilt is so much better than those willow catkins and poplar fluff!"
Yun Hongcheng's hands trembled slightly as he touched the quilt, his eyes red-rimmed. "This is truly a wonderful thing. With it, the people of the Great Sheng Dynasty will no longer have to suffer from the cold in winter!"
"There's another good thing here. The Snow Fairy said it's called a thermos. Boiling water can stay hot all day long if you put it in it."
Yun Zhourong excitedly explained, "Moreover, it can hold more than a pound of water at a time, enough for us to drink all the way."
"really?"
Upon hearing this, the group quickly stepped forward to see. "Apart from drinking hot water at noon, we can only drink ice water whenever we're thirsty. It would be so much more comfortable to have hot water."
Especially Madam Yun and Yun Mingyuan, both of whom were in poor health, could not tolerate ice water at all. When they were thirsty, they would just moisten their mouths, which resulted in them being constantly dehydrated.
If this thermos can really keep hot water, it would be a great thing for the two of them.
"Whether it's true or not, let's put a cup of hot water in it tonight and check it out tomorrow to find out."
After Yun Zhourong finished speaking, she took out a bulletproof vest and said, "Lady Snow Demon said that wearing this thing will make you invulnerable to swords and bullets, and can save your life in critical moments. Everyone should wear it."
"It's so thin, can it really be useful?" Yun Hongcheng was somewhat skeptical.
Yun Zhourong immediately handed over a folding fruit knife and took out a piece of cured meat with the skin on, saying to Yun Hongcheng, "Dad, try this knife and see how sharp it is."
"This is so well-made! The sheath is even integrated, which is really convenient!" Yun Hongcheng examined the folding fruit knife for a long time before trying to cut the cured meat.
As a result, the cured pork skin, which is usually very difficult to handle, was easily cut open this time and even sliced into thin pieces without any trouble.
"This knife is truly a fine piece!" Everyone exclaimed in amazement. "Even the imperial palace probably doesn't need such a good knife!"
Yun Zhourong distributed a handful to each person, saying, "Take these, use them for self-defense in a pinch."
"Miss, we dare not take such a fine knife." The two little girls instinctively tried to refuse.
They felt like they were dreaming all day.
Not only did they get to eat rice porridge with meat and vegetables, but they also got to wear warm sweaters, down jackets, and shoes. And now they're even getting this knife that looks incredibly valuable.
I really don't dare to take it!
"Silly girls, if we get into danger, you'll need knives to save us." Yun Zhourong insisted on putting the knives into the hands of the two girls.
This world is too dangerous for women and children; they must have weapons to protect themselves.
"Then we want it!"
Upon hearing this, the two little girls immediately took the knife, carefully put it in their pockets, and their eyes were full of determination.
Yes, Miss is the best Miss in the world, and they would definitely risk their lives to protect her!
"Good girl."
After patting the two little girls on the head, Yun Zhourong turned to Yun Hongcheng and said, "Dad, try stabbing this protective suit with this knife now."
Ji Minxiu had explained the meaning of bulletproof vests to her and shown her videos of guns, but since those things didn't exist in this era, she simply called them protective clothing.
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
Yun Hongcheng nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then forcefully plunged the knife down.
He had originally thought that such a sharp knife would definitely pierce through the thin clothes, but surprisingly, not a single mark was left.
He was completely stunned. "This...this clothing is actually impervious to blades and spears, and it's so thin and light. It's truly an extraordinary item!"
