Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 52 Bought a cart of cloth
Shen Yuexi looked at the tall and strong city wall in the distance, thinking about a plan to escape for a long time.

Xiao Zhuo wouldn't want to fly out with her.

But she knew that people in this world did not know martial arts like the lightness kung fu that she had heard about in her previous life.At most, he can use his strength to jump onto the roof, which is already a very remarkable martial art.

If she wanted to cross that impenetrable city wall, she felt that she had to fly there.

If you want to fly there, you can't let the universal manufacturing machine make an airplane.

It is impossible to get the material alone.

She really wanted to fly out, and it wasn't just an airplane. She held her chin and quickly thought about what she could make to take her and Xiao Zhuo out.

Still can not be discovered by Xiao Zhuo.

There were discussions from the vendors behind them: "The burlap you bought last time hasn't been sold yet?"

"Hey... don't mention it, the burlap is used a lot outside the customs, we look down on those crude things inside the customs, and we wanted to make a fortune, but now we are afraid that we will lose all the money to go home. "

The more this person spoke, the more depressed his voice became. You could tell without looking at it. Because of the blow of business failure, his heart seemed very heavy.

Those of them who run business outside the customs originally wanted to make a lot of money to support their families, and they used all their financial resources to do business.

The risk is huge, and the return rate is also very high, so some people are willing to take risks for this business opportunity that can bring huge benefits.

The so-called happy few worry.

When Shen Yuexi heard the sackcloth, her mind turned quickly. Although this thing is rough, it has a great advantage. It was the material used to make sails and ropes in the early days.

Burlap is not very breathable, but it is extremely durable and can be used to make the spherical part of a hot air balloon.

Then find some paper and spherical linen to stick together, and ignite the fuel at the air inlet to heat. When the air is heated, the density becomes smaller, thereby driving the object to rise.

As long as a bamboo basket is hung below, people can leap if they sit in it.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuexi stood up suddenly, her eyes lit up, and Xiao Zhuo watched her every move.

Seeing her standing up, she asked, "Why are you so excited?"

Shen Yuexi didn't have time to explain to Xiao Zhuo, because she saw that the vendors behind her had paid the money and were about to leave.

Her footsteps were windy, and she chased after her.

Xiao Zhuo lifted his heels up.

"Let's go slowly!" Shen Yuexi shouted hastily.

Those people looked back at Shen Yuexi who was chasing him in puzzlement, and one of them politely asked, "I don't know what's the matter with the girl?"

Shen Yuexi looked at the dark-skinned middle-aged man with a smile, and then glanced at the car beside him.

A cart full of linen, which is not available in the Great Yan Dynasty, this kind of material is very wrinkled, and the clothes on the body will be very ugly after a while, but it can be used as women's gauze scarves outside the pass.

The cloth used for clothing is indeed not very accepted by Dayan people.

But this kind of thing is the original raw material for making hot air balloons. She can't find fiber materials, but this simple one can be used.

Shen Yuexi smiled and bowed to that person: "I heard a few conversations just now, can you show me your sackcloth?"

There is a business to do, who would not want to, the man laughed a lot when he heard it, "Why not? Please."

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man hurriedly walked to the carriage, and lifted a corner of the coarse cloth covering it for Shen Yuexi to see.

Shen Yuexi took this opportunity to say something to Xiao Zhuo: "That thing is useful to me."

Xiao Zhuo nodded and followed.

When the two came to the carriage, Shen Yuexi touched the fabric, and it was indeed rough after all, and her eyes were not bright enough, it was brown.

There was a big cart full, Shen Yuexi's eyes lit up after confirming the thing.

The middle-aged man was paying attention to Shen Yuexi's every move, and seeing her move, he thought it was interesting, so he introduced it graciously.

"Don't look at it, it's rough, but it's very durable. Those people outside the customs are wearing this clothes."

Shen Yuexi didn't look any further, and didn't want to waste any more time, so she asked, "How much money does this car cost?"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he suddenly regained his energy.

"To tell you the truth, I spent a lot of money on the fabrics I pulled from outside the customs. Excluding the cost of eating and drinking along the way, the minimum cost is more than 500 taels of silver."

More than 500 taels?

She submissively touched the bank notes in her cufflinks. There were originally 600 taels, but she spent some on the way.After buying the fabric, there are less than 100 taels left.You have to buy some paper, wine, bamboo baskets and other materials to make a hot air balloon.

At that time, the remaining dozens of taels may not be enough.

Just the fuel needed for a hot air balloon requires a lot of wine. As far as she knows, ancient wine is not cheap.

It was only a moment to think, and she showed a embarrassed look.

"Young lady, do you think there's something wrong?" Seeing Shen Yuexi like this, the middle-aged man quickly guessed what she was thinking.

Originally, he wanted to make more money, but he didn't expect this girl to be stingy, which is a pity. He shook his head and sighed, bowed to Shen Yuexi, and prepared to leave.

How could Shen Yuexi be willing to let him go, she gritted her teeth: "Wait a minute, how much is 500?"

Even if it is expensive, she still has to buy it, at worst, she will earn money again when she goes to the frontier, but today she and Xiao Yao must go out of the city, and if they stay in the city for a while longer, it will be more dangerous.

She always felt that Prince Qi was not someone who would give up easily.

Although both of them spoke well, who knows whether Prince Qi's son will disclose the news about her and Xiao Zhuo to the emperor.

"520 taels," the middle-aged man glanced at Shen Yuexi, "this is the lowest price."

To make a sphere of a hot air balloon, a lot of linen material is needed, Shen Yuexi took another look at the fabric full of cars, and estimated that it was almost enough.

She turned around and asked Xiao Zhuo beside her: "What do you think of this price?"

After all, she didn't know much about the prices in this world, so she asked Xiao Zhuo to prove it.

Xiao Zhuo has been standing beside her silently from just now until now, neither speaking nor interrupting her, letting her decide everything.

Not a bad feeling.

Xiao Zhuo nodded to her and said, "Yes."

With Xiao Zhuo's answer, she readily took out 500 taels of silver and 20 taels of silver from her cuff buttons and handed them to the middle-aged man.

People who were still worrying about how to sell the goods, now they are all sold out.He happily took a look at the silver ticket, smiled and said to Shen Yuexi: "I also saw that the girl wanted to buy it, so I gave the most suitable price."

Normally, these fabrics would be more expensive, but this time along the way, there were quite a few people who asked, but none who bought them.

Before leaving, the man helped them unload the things.Then Shen Yuexi and Xiao Zhuo worked hard for a long time before finally moving all their things to an unobtrusive place.

Next, I have to buy other materials. The sweat on my forehead kept dripping down, but Shen Yuexi didn't care at all.

She panted and sat aside, Xiao Zhuo came over, sat down next to her, looked at Shen Yuexi who was covered in sweat, hesitated for a moment, then lifted up her long sleeves, and raised her hands to wipe the sweat off her face.
