Chapter 36 Thermometer

"Is your brother learning fast? Why don't I know?"

"Dad, you heard me right. Now Mr. Yu can teach me how to do it. At such an old age, it feels awkward to sit with a bunch of brats all day long, and he himself doesn't feel good."

"Okay, I'll go talk to Mr. Yu tomorrow."

When Yu Xiucai called Su Sheng to Class B with a smile, Su Sheng was still in a state of "where am I and who am I".

…………

Su Yu looked outside the house. It has been raining for five days in a row, and it hasn't stopped until now.

"When will this rain stop?"

Su Laoer looked up at the dark sky with no bright color at all.

"not sure."

"Then you went to the village and asked other families if they had extra soil foundations?"

"I have already asked about it, and several of them have enough money for our family. We negotiated with them for one penny per dollar, and they were happy to sell it."

"That's fine, when the rain stops, you can quickly find someone to build a house."

"Ah."

Ever since she went to Taihe Building to find the cow shopkeeper that day, Su Yu started preparing to build a house specifically for hatching chicks. She couldn't always hatch them in her house. Previously, a hundred eggs didn't take up much space, but when they hatched, they would The smell of chicken shit wouldn't go away for several days. She was really fed up.

There must be a lot of duck eggs hatched this time, and she doesn't have enough room, so she plans to build a special house in the open space next to it. Su Yu has already drawn a plan and plans to build a fire wall in the house, which can ensure the whole house. temperature.It's just that this degree is a bit difficult to grasp. It would be nice if there was a thermometer.

Thinking of this, Su Yu sighed and asked her to get a thermometer somewhere in this era where people rely on communication and shouting when going out.

If it doesn't work, she can make one by herself. She doesn't need high standards. The temperature of hatching eggs is between 37 and 39 degrees. It's enough to be able to measure the temperature difference. She made a fire wall. With the blessing of a thermometer, she can There is no need to stay in the house all day, otherwise the high temperature of almost 20 degrees will dry it out for her after [-] days in the house.

Just do what you say. To make a thermometer, you must first have materials. I remember that I learned it when I was in school, but I don’t remember it clearly. Who cares, let’s do it first.

After searching around the house, she couldn't find anything useful to replace the glass. Knowing that Dazhou had glazed glass, to put it bluntly, it was modern glass, so she just thought about it, and all the money at home can't buy it now. Just a glass bead, don't even think about a small glass bottle.But can other things work? Why don't you try it with a porcelain vase first. I don't have a porcelain vase at home, so I have to go to the town to buy it.

When she thought of it, she asked Su Laoer to take her to the town, otherwise she would not be able to sleep at night with all her thoughts on her mind.

"Father, let's go to the blacksmith shop to order things tomorrow. I just happen to be going to buy some things."

It had been raining for the past two days, and Su Laoer had nothing to do at home. Hearing that his daughter wanted to go to town, he agreed without thinking.

"Sure, let's go tomorrow morning, but we won't go if it's raining too much."

"it is good."

The glass bottle can be replaced with a porcelain bottle first. What should I use to replace the straw?And it had to be transparent. Otherwise, if it was just a pipe, she directly replaced it with wheat straw. There was no need to go to the street to find it.

The rain was not heavy the next day. When the father and daughter went to town, they went straight to the blacksmith shop and ordered all the ironware that could be used at home. Su Laoer went shopping with his daughter. He had something on his mind, and Su Yu was not in the mood either. After shopping, I went to a shop specializing in porcelain in town.

There are only two porcelain shops in the town, both of which are not big and the business is so-so. If the rich gentlemen in the town want to buy porcelain, they will not buy it in the town. They go directly to the county or prefectural city to buy it. Families with money couldn't afford porcelain, and the people who came to patronize the porcelain shop were only the poorer ones in the town. Therefore, the business of the two shops was never very good, and they could barely make ends meet.

The father and daughter entered a porcelain shop named Zheng Ji. From the name, they knew it was passed down from the older generation of the family. When the shopkeeper saw a customer coming, he immediately greeted him.

Now the father and daughter are wearing new clothes made by Lian Shi when they go out. The material is cotton cloth bought by Su Yu, which is very comfortable to use, and of course the price is not cheap.Lian has been talking about it for a long time, saying that Su Yu spends money indiscriminately, and clothes are almost enough.

Su Yu is not going to let it go, she wants Lian to buy the designated linen. Her family's clothes used to be made of linen.Linen is hard and will scratch your skin when you make new clothes for your upper body. It is not as comfortable as this cotton fabric. Her family now has no shortage of one or two taels of cloth to buy. Su Yu bought it according to the cloth that one person and two people in the family had at that time. There are not any flowers left, this kind of cotton cloth is considered to be of average level in the town, how can it be uncomfortable to wear on the body.

If they entered the store in the same clothes they wore when they first came to Yujiacun, the shopkeeper would ask the staff to drive them out without even looking at them.It can't be said that the shopkeeper is snobbish, and the two of them didn't look like they could buy porcelain before. They were afraid that their opponents were looking for trouble.

"Second officers, what do you need to buy?"

"Shopkeeper, do you have such a tall porcelain bottle with the same size as the mouth?"

Su Yu made a gesture.

The shopkeeper was dumbfounded. This was the first time that someone came to the porcelain store to buy such porcelain. What could it be used for if it was so small?

"Guest officer, there is really no such thing."

"Then what are the smallest porcelain bottles of yours? Take me to see them."

Without Su Yu, he had to settle for the next best thing.

In fact, the smallest porcelain vase in ancient times was the small porcelain vase used by doctors to hold pills. There are many stores selling such porcelain vase, and most of them are bought by various medical clinics, and few are bought by individuals.

Su Yu took the smallest one of them, not sure if it could be used, so he had to buy one first to try.

A porcelain vase is not expensive, costing ten cents each. Su Yu paid the money and was about to leave, when he thought of something and looked at the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, I would like to ask, where can I buy hollow pipes in town? The pipes are transparent and about the same size as chopsticks?"

The shopkeeper thought about it, but couldn't remember what the transparent tube was.

"I haven't seen it before, I don't know where to buy it."

Su Yu was not disappointed either, and left the shop to look elsewhere.

Seeing the person leaving, the shopkeeper shook his head. There are really all kinds of weirdos these days.

In the shop, Second Su didn't ask, but when he got out of the shop, he couldn't help asking: "Girl, why are you buying a bottle?"

"It will be of great use if you buy it. I will show it to dad when it is done. Now that I have told you, you don't understand."

Su Laoer is not a curious person, he didn't ask any more questions after his daughter said so.

Xinglin Town is not big, and there are only three streets that sell things. Su Yu doesn't know where to buy them, so he can only shop one by one. After shopping all three streets, he still can't find what he wants to buy.

"Daughter, I'm afraid I don't have the transparent tube you want to buy."

Su Yu looked disgusted.

"I know."

"Where are we going now?"

"Go back and let me think of something else."
