After lunch, the girl opened the jar of jam, and Joco ordered two clean bowls and spoons to be brought in, and a bowl of jam was served slowly.

"If this jam is sold in the store, it can be sold at a good price." When she was done, Joco gave her a pertinent comment. She had eaten no less of the fruit, but she had never thought that the apricot could be made into sauce. "Since apricots can be boiled, can other fruits be made as well?"

"You're right, other fruits can also be made into sauces, but if you want to sell this jam for a big business deal, the most important thing is to consider how to preserve it for a long time before it spoils."

According to her observation, Qingyuan County was located in the southwest region, with many plains in the mountainous region. Logically speaking, it should be similar to the regions in her previous life, perhaps if she walked around once more she would be able to find rubber trees. That way, she would be able to produce rubber.

However, the problem of finding rubber had trapped the maiden. There were too few people in her possession. In the blink of an eye, she thought of the problem of the inferiority of men and women in this era.

She seemed to have a lot of trouble. "If you have any difficulties," she said, "you can tell me. I'll see if I can help you."

"You don't know, I wanted to expand the business, but I always felt that there was not enough manpower to be trusted. Just like this jam, if I could find something called 'rubber', I would be able to spread it thousands of miles away in Qingyuan County." The little girl sighed again. This feeling of being powerless was too unbearable.

"What is this rubber?" "How come I've never heard anyone mention it before?"

"This is what I saw in the book my husband left behind. It said that when you cut open the rubber bark, white liquid would flow out. This white liquid is sticky and can be used to make a lot of things. If you can find this glue, then we have a way to sell the fruits far away." The little girl was lying on the table with a worried look on her face. She had never thought that rubber was so useful before, but now that she was here, the little rubber was holding her back.

Even though there was still a way to refine plant gum, the refined gum could only be used for food processing. It would be impossible for it to be used in industry.

"I've never heard of the rubber you're talking about, but if you want to keep this jam for a long time, why would you need to find it?"

The lady frowned, "What do you mean?"

Joko got up and went downstairs. After a while, he came up with a jug of wine and pointed at the bottle. "How do you think this wine was sealed?"

The mouth of the wine jug was covered with a layer of yellow mud. When Qiao Ke knocked it open, he revealed the mouth of the jug that was wrapped in a thick layer of cloth.

The little girl had a flash of inspiration. Qiao Ke looked at her with a face full of smiles. "Do you now understand why I'm laughing at you?"

To be honest, this was the second time the little girl had tripped over the wisdom of the ancients. She had only thought of modern, convenient cans of rubber, but had not expected that when there was no rubber in the ancient times, people would have ways to preserve their food.

She laughed softly, "This is indeed my fault. I put everything behind me, but I didn't think of the simplest of principles."

After thanking him, the little girl brought some food back. Ye Xuan was still looking at the stall.

The delicate woman returned to her booth. Ye Xuan seemed to be somewhat helpless as he looked at the unchanging amount of canned apricot sauce. "Those women came to ask a lot, but none of them bought it."

He was carrying a jar filled with apricot sauce in his hand. The lady instantly understood what was going on. This jar weighed two pounds, wasn't big, and in Ye Xuan's hands, it was no different from a child's toy. It looked so small and expensive, so of course no one would be willing to buy it.

The little girl cast a sidelong glance at him as if she was pouting. "You, sit at the back and eat first. I'll sell it."

Ye Xuan's heart melted at the sight of it. If it wasn't for the fact that he was on the street right now, he would've laughed foolishly.

Ye Xuan smiled innocently as he received the method from his daughter. Then he sat down by the wall and started to eat.

The lady continued to shout and shout about the apricot sauce. Unfortunately, it was already noon and there weren't many people on the streets. Only a few people were rushing home to eat.

She was still wearing her thick clothes. After quickly finishing the food in her hands, Ye Xuan walked up to her and said, "I think it's time for you to go to the back of the stall to rest for a while."

The lady sighed. Not only was she unable to endure the heat, but she also couldn't let the apricot sauce be exposed to the sun like this. She moved it to the wall where it couldn't be exposed to the sun.

Underneath the city walls were merchants who had yet to sell their goods. At this time, they moved their stalls under the city walls and took out dry steamed buns from their pockets. Then, they began to eat lunch under the cooling water.

"Hey, what are you guys selling in this jar? "Why is it so expensive?"

The one who spoke was a middle-aged man. Black sweat flowed down his face and he was stuffing steamed buns into his mouth. He asked vaguely.

The lady looked at the white cloth hanging beside his stall, which had the words "ancestral medicine, cure all illnesses" written on it. There were all kinds of bottles placed on the stall, and there were even sticks stuck to the bottles. Just from looking at it, the lady would see a bunch of 'scorpions' and 'centipedes' …

What kind of divine medicine could these things be made? The moment the lady looked at him, the word "swindler" was almost written in her eyes.

The middle-aged man had a simple and honest look on his face. After drinking a mouthful of water, he asked the lady in a relaxed manner, "Does the little lady understand all this? "It's fine, they won't kill us."

This was the typical speech of a swindler! Even though the little girl didn't despise him, she didn't want to interact any more with him. She put on the straw hat and intended to sleep for a while.

At this moment, Ye Xuan, who was sitting next to his wife, became the target of the swindler's chat. He walked over from the stall and sat next to Ye Xuan. "Big brother, your wife really has a bad temper."

Ye Xuan originally didn't want to pay any attention to him, but after hearing him say that his wife was his own, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Seeing him answer her, the swindler laughed happily, pretending to be surprised, "Yo, you have such a sumptuous lunch? This thing seems to be from the Qiao Family Restaurant, right? "I've eaten there before. That Red Braised Meat was amazing." As he spoke, he reached out to pick at the chicken leg in the lunchbox, only to be struck off by Ye Xuan's chopsticks.

He gave an embarrassed smile and retracted his hand that had a red mark on it, "I am that thing..."

Ye Xuan looked at him coldly, then used his chopsticks to pick up a chicken leg and placed it on top of the steamed bun. "Don't take it with your hands." Then he continued to eat.

It wasn't that he didn't want to give it to him, but that he found him dirty. For some reason, the man's heart suddenly felt a little sour.

However, having a chicken leg was also good. He immediately let go of that tiny bit of heartache and happily chewed on the chicken leg until oil dripped from his mouth, not forgetting to chat with Ye Xuan. "Big brother, what are you selling? I just heard you guys say that 50 gold per jar is much more expensive than my ancestral divine medicine.

"What are you selling?" Ye Xuan didn't answer his question. Instead, he asked him a question.

"Me?" The swindler laughed, "I am not lying, this medicine is indeed inherited from my ancestors. My ancestors were Taoists and loved to study strange things, but I didn't see him research anything. In my generation, he has already become a swindler."

The middle-aged man was a bit depressed. He tore off the last piece of meat from the chicken leg, then bit down on the bone with a cracking sound. In the end, he even sucked the oil in his hand.

Therefore, Ye Xuan gave him a chicken leg.

The middle-aged man was overjoyed. He immediately asked Ye Xuan if he wanted some of his divine medicines. "How about I give you some? I'll eat them no matter what you want to eat when you get home. 7 times in the night isn't a dream."

Ye Xuan, who wasn't asleep yet, couldn't help but burst out laughing. Ye Xuan, who understood the meaning of his words, had a face darker than the bottom of a pot.
