[Chapter 414 What the Goddess Wants]
Shen Yuyao motioned for her husband to come with her to the open space in the middle of the living room, and then used her consciousness to take out four things.
Knife, gun, sword, axe.
The emperor actually sent four weapons!
Cheng Liyan stepped forward and picked up the long knife from the ground.
brush!
He pulled the knife out of the scabbard, and along with it a flash of white light, the biting chill made Cheng Liyan unable to help but squint his eyes.
"What a nice knife!" he exclaimed sincerely.
This looks much better than the fancy stand that my second uncle sent me before.
He picked up the battle-axe again, now giving it some weight in his hand, and then gesticulating with it in the air.
He showed a satisfied look again.
"This is a new forging method. The steel has been refined to a very high level."
Looking at these weapons, Cheng Liyan realized why the emperor gave him these.
This was to show him their latest forging process.
Now that Cheng Liyan has seen it, he has to praise the craftsmanship of the ancients.
It hasn't been that long since he's improved his skills to such a level.
Thinking of this, Cheng Liyan asked his wife, "Didn't the emperor say what he would give us in exchange for what he wanted this time?"
"No. He's probably waiting for us to speak up," Shen Yuyao said.
"Have you decided what you want?"
This time, the things the old emperor asked for were a bit troublesome, especially the electric lights.
Cheng Liyan didn't want to agree casually.
Otherwise, if you develop a bad habit and ask for anything you want every time you think of it, you will be asking for trouble.
Things can be given, but they must come at a price.
But what do you want?
Cheng Liyan had no idea in his mind.
He didn't think they were missing anything.
However, Shen Yuyao and he had different ideas on this point.
Shen Yuyao said: "I want them to exchange for 100 Jade Leaf Grasses, which must be alive and can be transplanted."
"To make a life-saving pill?" Cheng Liyan looked at her.
"Yeah." Shen Yuyao nodded.
When Doctor Gu was researching the life-saving pills, he discovered that the prescription provided by the imperial physician contained an ingredient called jade leaf grass, which he had never heard of.
Doctor Gu thought at the time that he was ignorant. After all, there are thousands of medicinal herbs in the world, and no one can guarantee that they know them all.
But later he came to the Institute of Pharmaceutical Research and was able to access more information.
But after searching through all the medical books, I still couldn't find a single word about this medicinal herb.
Shen Yuyao heard Doctor Gu talk about this occasionally at a party a long time ago.
Doctor Gu sounded very regretful when he said this.
He said that the reason why the other ingredients of the life-saving pills today are almost restored one-to-one, but the medicinal properties are still very different from the original one, he thinks it has a lot to do with this jade leaf grass.
But he just couldn't find it.
Shen Yuyao kept it in mind at that time.
Later, she asked her family to help look for it.
My second and third brothers also found ways to get a few plants.
It is said that this medicinal herb has extremely high requirements for its growing environment and it is difficult to survive outside of the environment.
Shen Yuyao tried to grow them herself, but she didn’t know if it was because her gardening skills were too poor or if they really couldn’t survive if they were out of the environment.
No matter how strictly she followed the planting methods provided by her brothers, in the end not a single plant survived.
Because she couldn't grow the crops, she didn't tell Dr. Gu about this.
Otherwise, the old man would definitely get to the bottom of it, and Shen Yuyao was afraid that she would let it slip.
"It's different now. Siqin is at the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. We took the things and gave them directly to Siqin.
No matter how delicate the medicinal herbs are, they should be able to survive in the hands of these professionals, right?
If it really doesn't work, we can just ask for more. We can eventually reproduce slowly." Shen Yuyao said.
Cheng Liyan nodded: "But you can't just choose the pond to fish in."
"Don't worry. Even if we want to, the emperor won't agree. The Imperial Hospital also needs to continue making life-saving pills."
"Just the Jade Leaf Grass?" Cheng Liyan was a little unwilling.
“I think it’s OK to replace the speaker with that thing, after all, they will have to come to us to replace the battery in the future.
What about the light bulb? The light bulb can be replaced with something else. "He said.
Shen Yuyao said, "Let's talk about the light bulb later. You should go ask the installer if he can learn how to do it. It's not too late to think about it after you're sure it can be delivered."
Although she said so, Shen Yuyao actually already had some vague ideas in her mind.
She still wanted to use these things to exchange for skills.
There is no shortage of gold and silver at home.
Not only is there no shortage, but we also have to worry about how to use it in the future?
For small amounts, she could still get by with the money her mother left her.
But it is obviously impossible to use it in large quantities, as that will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.
Not only gold and silver, but other things as well.
Why do we have so many things that can only be seen but cannot be used?
No, she was wrong, you can't even look at it.
It can only be placed in the space, and I can't find a place to put it when I want to take it out to appreciate it.
Instead of this, Shen Yuyao thought it would be better to exchange it for something useful.
Wushuang Country still has many secret recipes.
My mother alone has a lot in her hands.
From the medicinal recipes that I usually use to nourish my body, to the ointment recipes that have the effect of moisturizing and fragrant body...
Apart from A Niang, other noble families also know much more.
In addition to these, there are also embroidery needlework, weaving techniques, and...
There are also the calligraphy and painting skills that have been passed down from dynasty to generation!
Although the great calligraphers and painters of Wushuang Kingdom throughout the dynasties are not well-known in China, art knows no time or national boundaries.
Good is good.
Shen Yuyao also wanted to exchange a batch of calligraphy and painting works collected by masters in the palace from the emperor.
As for whether the emperor will feel pain?
Well, that depends on how he chooses.
Cheng Liyan brought back ten tweeters that afternoon.
The one he got was a high-end one, with three adjustable volume levels.
When Cheng Liyan was holding a loudspeaker and testing the sound in the house, even Mrs. Ding from across the street leaned her head out from the yard to watch, wanting to see what the young couple was doing.
Shen Yuyao was so scared that she quickly pulled the man back from the yard.
The emperor was indeed very happy after receiving the trumpet!
I couldn't put it down and read it again and again.
The joy is beyond words.
However, the font presented along with the loudspeaker still made the emperor worried.
He asked Shen Junlin who was standing below him: "Shen Aiqing, it's already November, can the Jade Leaf Grass still be found?"
Shen Junlin had helped his younger sister look for it before, so he was quite familiar with it.
He told the emperor that it was definitely impossible to find it now, but it was the right time to set out to look for it.
Because the jade-leaf grass grows in the northern border, which is thousands of miles away from the capital.
The people who were looking for it set out there just in time for the snow season. After the snow season, when the jade grass sprouts, it will be the most likely season for it to survive.
After hearing this, the emperor immediately issued an edict.
Not only did they send brave soldiers to escort them, they also specially found officials who were good at farming to go along.
I just hope I can find what the goddess wants smoothly.
