It was completely dark.
The rustling sounds around me gradually decreased, and I could hear some even snoring.
Lin Jinyue didn't dwell on the telescope issue.
Nothing compares to tonight's feast.
She took her father and brother directly into the farm. She was getting tired of eating pine needles and black beans every day and wanted something spicy to stimulate her appetite.
Lin Jinyue couldn't wait any longer. After entering the system space, she saw the animals in the space through the system panel. They were all luxuriously using silk to help their wounds. The rabbits that had been injured before had already started to limp and eat grass.
When Jiang Yun saw her come in, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've treated all the animals inside. They'll be fine after a while. There's still a piece of land on the farm that we haven't planted yet. I took a look, and there's no hay. We need to set aside a lawn to feed the horses."
Lin Jinyue nodded: "Let's upgrade it slowly later."
The two white rabbits that were originally kept on the farm cannot be eaten; they must be kept to have babies.
However, there were two rabbits outside, which Lin Xueqing had just caught. They were two grayish rabbits, lying there pitifully, and didn't look like they could run very well. Their legs were also injured.
Lin Xueqing was quick-witted and managed to catch the rabbit and put it into her spatial dimension.
Jiang Yun was still pondering whether to have rabbit or stir-fried chicken for dinner.
Lin Jinyue thought for a moment and said to her, "Mom, I'm really craving that lotus leaf chicken you mentioned. How about we have some spicy rabbit first? We can make lotus leaf chicken again in a couple of days when the lotus leaves have grown a bit bigger?"
Jiang Yun nodded: "Okay."
With limited time to spend in the space, Jiang Yun and Lin Shucheng worked together, but the rabbit seemed listless, and it took them a lot of chaos to finally get it sorted out.
When they finally got to eat the long-awaited spicy rabbit meat, they were completely satisfied.
Lin Shucheng also exclaimed, "Wow, who would have thought our family would get so excited over a meal of rabbit meat?"
However, Lin Jinyue was optimistic, saying, "Even after our family is in trouble, we can still live together in ancient times. What more could we ask for?"
Lin Jinyue initially missed modern life, but after spending the last few days together, she realized how difficult life was for women in ancient times.
Compared to the later generations' preference for sons over daughters, ancient times were characterized by cannibalism, especially against women.
Lin Jinyue didn't even dare to think about how miserable she would have been if her parents hadn't come with her.
Thinking about it that way, I feel fortunate.
After all, one must always look forward.
Constantly thinking about the villas, luxury cars, and enviable jobs of your past life is pointless; you can't go back to those. You might as well work hard now and try to make the most of your life in ancient times.
Jiang Yun agreed with her daughter's words, but she was a little worried: "You know, we made such a big fuss, what will we do if we encounter this situation again in the future? It's such a pity. If only we had a telescope. You know, nothing is convenient in ancient times. We didn't have anything. We couldn't even contact each other with a cell phone."
Jiang Yun was extremely worried, her face full of sorrow, fearing that her family wouldn't be able to survive in ancient times.
Lin Jinyue agreed somewhat: "Mom, you and I are thinking the same thing. I also think having a telescope would be better, as for sending messages..."
Lin Jinyue stopped eating and pondered the methods of communication in ancient times. Suddenly, an idea struck her: "There are ways to send messages. If the distance is not far, we can whistle. If we need someone to scout ahead and it's far away and dangerous, we can use signal flares. I'm thinking of making firecrackers or signal flares..."
Upon hearing that her daughter was going to do such difficult things, Jiang Yun couldn't help but ask, "Is this... possible?"
Lin Jinyue patted her chest and said confidently, "Yes, it will definitely work."
The family remarked that it was fortunate Lin Jinyue had enjoyed tinkering with various things in her previous life, such as making gunpowder and crossbows, which were essential skills for transmigrating. The other three were completely clueless about such things.
Lin Shucheng wished he could go back in time right now and confront those people who always complained that their daughter was idle, didn't work after graduation, and just messed around at home.
At that moment, he desperately wanted everyone to see if his daughter was just making a fuss.
If it weren't for his daughter having read so much about post-apocalyptic and ancient survival techniques in her previous life, his whole family would probably be starving by now.
Although Jiang Yun didn't understand core technologies, she knew that these raw materials were very expensive.
Jiang Yun: "Sigh, nothing else is urgent. The main thing is the telescope. I don't feel at ease without it, but even if we sell all our possessions, it will be difficult to get it."
After experiencing the refugee crisis last time, the family felt an even greater sense of crisis, realizing that the ancient world was far more cruel than they had imagined.
Lin Jinyue thought for a moment and then said, "I can make telescopes too. The only thing missing is glass. If we can find the raw materials for glass, it's not a rare thing. It's just that it's inconvenient to buy things when we're fleeing the famine..."
This sentence made the other three feel uneasy; their hopes were raised and then dashed.
Everything is hard to buy along the way, not to mention that they are now deliberately choosing to travel to remote places, making everything inconvenient.
Even if they could go to the city, they wouldn't recognize things like feldspar and quartz sand. Thousands of years have passed, so the names must be different now. Even if Lin Jinyue went to find them with the system, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
However, in the next moment, something seemed to flash through Lin Jinyue's mind, and she hurriedly ran to the warehouse, rummaging through boxes and cabinets to search.
She remembered that when she was registered with the system, she received a newbie gift pack, which included a glass cup for her to choose from, either glass or crystal.
Lin Jinyue made a whim and chose the glass item, thinking it was more expensive. Although the system didn't allow her to sell it, and violating the rules would result in a red card warning and unbinding, she still chose the glass item.
Later, when she got tired of it, Lin Jinyue threw it into the warehouse and never touched it again.
Looking at the glass cup now, she thought that after polishing it could be made into a lens. Glass is similar, one has color and the other does not. This should be usable, right?
Lin Jinyue placed the glass cup in front of her to look at it. "It's okay, but it's a bit hard on the eyes, but it's usable."
Lin Shucheng took the plate, clicked his tongue twice, and said, "Are you sure you want to use it? Daughter, didn't you say that the best way to get rich in ancient times was to make glassware? A set of glassware could sell for tens of thousands of taels of silver..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun immediately hugged the cup to her chest; she treasured it so much, she really couldn't bear to part with it.
However, the next moment, Lin Jinyue took it away, saying, "When we go back to making glass, we can make any color we want. If we open a glass factory, we can earn hundreds of thousands or even millions of taels, let alone tens of thousands."
After Lin Jinyue took it away, she smashed it in two without hesitation and began to cut and polish it with various tools.
Jiang Yun felt a pang of heartache seeing this.
In particular, she overheard her daughter muttering, "Hey, we can't go into the glass business. With wars raging everywhere, wouldn't making telescopes just benefit someone else?"
Damn it, Jiang Yun felt even more heartbroken.
Not only Jiang Yun, but even Lin Shucheng and Lin Xueqing were starting to feel the pinch. That was a lot of hard-earned money, and they couldn't do it now.
