"Holy City? Work?"
Hongya's attention was also drawn away from the book. Looking at the book in her hands, her love for Chinese characters allowed her to learn many characters and words in a short period of time.
Even unfamiliar words and phrases can be understood by referring to a dictionary.
At night, she lay in bed. The small house was decorated in a very cozy style, with many of the decorations being inexpensive items brought from the small town of Cangyuan.
There was a stone emitting a white light on the bedside table, its light illuminating the book.
Her mother, Hongwei, didn't share her love for Chinese characters. She spent more time considering the survival of her people, so the few characters she knew were also related to survival.
For example, salt, food, animal milk, and coins.
They deliver freshly milked animal milk to Cangyuan Town every day for sale. Nowadays, milk is very expensive in the market, making it more cost-effective than some animal meat.
"A planned and organized mastery of these basic management functions will become an important cornerstone for our future work."
"Oh, so this book is about management, Mom. I think it's quite interesting. You'll learn something from it..."
When Hongya finished reading the book, Hongwei beside her had already fallen asleep, her eyes slightly furrowed, looking somewhat tired.
On ordinary days, she would read books to her mother so that she could better understand many things in Cangyuan Town, because she had a better understanding of the power of writing than other tribes.
So they didn't just buy salt and food after they made money; they also bought other things that were more conducive to development.
For example, wine, fishing rods, and tools such as glass bottles.
The wine can be brought back and left to sit. Although it is expensive, it will be more expensive to sell after a period of time.
Wines fermented for different times have different prices, but those fermented for longer times are always more expensive than those fermented for shorter times.
Due to the high demand for wine and fruit wine in Moon Pivot City, the wines are currently sold after being brewed for about two or three months, but the best taste period is about a year.
The optimal drinking period varies depending on the grape variety. The optimal drinking period is set at one year because the longest a wine can be stored is only one year.
Long ago, the first batch of wine brewed by Su Yuan and his men had already been consumed. If it had been preserved, the wine brewed in the icy snowfield would have been the oldest wine in this other world.
And then there's the novelty of the fishing rod, which is much more effective than aimlessly catching fish. If they ever leave this place, they can live by a river or the sea.
The glass bottle was Hongya's latest idea. She discovered something when she went to Cangyuan Town with her mother last time.
When the weather gets hot, people like to buy something in department stores that is a mixture of fruit and ice.
Although she couldn't make ice, she could still squeeze the juice, seal it, and leave it at the bottom of the river overnight. When she took it out, it would be ice-cold.
After tucking herself in, Hongya snuggled back into bed. The quilt, bought from Cangyuan Town, was warmer than the animal skin quilt they had used before, and it had a faint fragrance.
"Mother, do you really think there is a holy city?"
Thinking about what happened during the day, Hongya was tempted. Maybe she could give it a try too?
