Early the next morning, Yang Fan didn't get up until half past seven and washed himself in the yard.
In the yard, Yang Fan dug a pressurized water well against the wall and built a sink with ceramic tiles. He could press the water into a two-meter-high water tank through a lever, and then release the water through a row of faucets for washing. This made him find the solution.
A bit of a modern feel.
After a while, Xiao Niangpi and Yao Guang also came out sleepily to wash up.
The little girl's skin was completely ruined by Yao Guang.
She used to be such a Ming-style girl, but now she is a modern-day fujoshi.
Wearing pure cotton cartoon pajamas, plastic slippers, and a facial mask. Yaoguang said eight o'clock in the morning is the best time to apply a facial mask.
Under Yao Guang's guidance, he brushed his teeth with toothpaste and a toothbrush for the first time. As a result, his gums bleed and he vomited a pool of blood foam. Yang Fan laughed and was kicked twice by the little girl.
There were also toothbrushes in the Ming Dynasty. Rich people bought the kind of toothbrushes with ivory handles and horsetails. There was no toothpaste, but tooth powder was usually used. In fact, the formula was quite sophisticated.
Use 120 grams each of pig tooth soap, sophora twigs, willow twigs, lotus leaves, ginger, raw rehmannia glutinosa, and cohosh. Crush them all and put them into a bottle. Forge them over a charcoal fire. After cooling, add 90 grams of crushed asarum.
, 60 grams of green pepper.
Use it to brush your teeth every morning.
This traditional Chinese medicine tooth powder has good effects on bad breath, bleeding gums, periodontitis, and sensitivity to cold or heat.
But this thing was not as useful as modern toothpaste. Xiao Niangpi immediately fell in love with modern toothpaste. And she began to flock to all the American products that Yang Fan said.
Now that the weather is starting to get colder, Xiao Niangpi also got a set of thermal underwear from Yao Guang that is close to the skin and wears it under her skirt. No matter how high her tail is in the future, it will not be exposed.
Lycra underwear with modern technology is very comfortable, skin-friendly, sweat-absorbent, and breathable. The experience is countless times better than the underwear of this era, and it is particularly flattering.
Xiao Niangpi was wearing thermal underwear and had a curvy figure. She was very hot. She secretly took pictures of herself in front of the big mirror in Yao Guang's room, shyly.
She also liked this big mirror so much that she would take beautiful pictures several times every time she came here. When she saw such a big mirror for the first time, she was stunned.
She had seen the mercury mirror shipped by Franji people in Beijing. Although that mirror was also very clear, it was very dark. It was not as bright as this kind of mirror.
And they are all small pieces. A three-inch square costs hundreds of taels of silver. I heard that only in Queen Zhang’s palace can there be a three-foot-tall one.
This piece here is six feet high and two feet wide.
Breakfast was made by Xiang Yi and Xiang Ying, including Yangchun noodles, tea eggs, steamed dumplings, millet porridge, soy milk, celery, yuba and peanut salad.
They are all cooked according to the recipes given by Yang Fan, and the peanuts are brought by modern times.
Although Yao Guang always thinks casually that there is not much raw energy left and cannot be wasted, but she has not seen any thrift in daily necessities. She is a prodigal woman. Whoever marries her will have nothing to lose.
I'll take it. Yang Fan thought secretly in his heart.
Xiao Niangpi and Yao Guang both love eating soup-filled steamed buns. With their bulging cheeks and ponytails on the back of their heads, they look like two little squirrels.
Xiao Niangpi carefully took a small bite of the soup dumpling and sucked out the soup little by little. From time to time, she stuck out her hot pink tongue and blew air.
After breakfast, Yaoguang was going to give lessons to the old masters at the school, so he left with his bag.
Xiao Niangpi changed into men's clothes and actually pulled out a large trolley suitcase from the room. She didn't know what was in it.
Yang Fan and Xiao Niangpi were riding horses side by side. There were two large trolley cases on each side of the packhorse behind them. Yang Fan simply used the trolley cases to carry his things. It was still convenient, so he covered them with a raincloth and tied them up.
"This time when we go to the capital, we want to go in secret. Why don't we pretend to be brother and sister, and you will be my brother. Come on, call me sister first." Xiao Niangpi said.
"It's inappropriate to pretend to be siblings."
“Is there anything inappropriate?”
"You and I don't look alike, so why don't we pretend to be husband and wife? Come on, call me husband first."
"Bah, you bastard, I'll beat you up." The little girl kicked Yang Fan.
The two of them were quarreling and had already arrived at the pier.
On the dock, countless people were busy, and Sakurai Momo came early. One by one, she checked each box of firecrackers that were about to be put on the ship, and each box of fixed ammunition.
She was very satisfied. There was nothing wrong with it. All the ammunition was new. The seal on the packaging showed that the production time was no more than one month.
Wooden boxes are also very suitable for transportation. Each small wooden box contains 1,000 rounds of fixed-load ammunition. It is divided into twenty oil-paper packages. The design of the wooden box fully considers moisture resistance and ease of transportation.
It was made based on the wooden ammunition boxes of later generations.
Three thousand boxes of ammunition and more than 35,000 muskets were enough to load three large ships.
"Yang Jun, all the guns and ammunition are qualified, thank you very much." Sakurai Momo bowed.
Sakurai Momo knows that it is difficult to ensure consistent quality for large quantities of goods in this era. It is not easy for almost all items to be of the same quality for such large quantities of goods. It can be seen that Yang Fan carefully selects the goods he picks up. He is very happy that Yang Fan attaches great importance to it.
.
"Since there is no problem, let's sail the boat and go down the river. We can reach Beitangkou tomorrow."
"Hi! Everything is subject to Yang Jun's arrangements." Sakurai Momo bowed and said.
"This is Mr. Yue, take our boat to Dagukou." Yang Fan introduced the girl, "This is Mrs. Yitian from Japan."
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Yue, please give me your advice." Sakurai Tao glanced at Yang Fan with a half-smile, bowed and said.
The little girl was a little embarrassed. Unless she was blind, anyone could tell that she was a Xibei. She held her hand in front of her as a courtesy.
Yang Fan took Xiao Niangpi, Sakurai Tao and his group on the first ship. This was a relatively well-decorated passenger ship that was rented temporarily.
The second ship is Xinghe's own, and 300 regiment members are on board, responsible for protecting the safety of this batch of materials. The remaining three are cargo ships.
After lunch, Yang Fan returned to the cabin and flipped through a printed sailing information.
After getting to know Mrs. Yitian and his party, Yang Fan had an idea.
During this era, Japan was closed to the outside world and only one port, Nagasaki, was open to foreign trade.
The British, Portuguese, Dutch, Spanish, and French all came here to trade.
This is actually the center of international trade in East Asia.
Yang Fan felt that it was necessary to set up a trading post in Nagasaki.
Japan itself is the world's largest silver and gold producer. Before the gold rush in Alaska and the Western United States, it produced one-third of the world's silver.
Many of Yang Fan's products can be dumped here, and can even be re-exported to Europe through Nagasaki. The materials and livestock Yang Fan needs can also be purchased in Nagasaki by merchant ships from various countries.
The prerequisite for all this is a sailing boat with good performance.
At present, Ming Dynasty's ships are too slow and not suitable for carrying large amounts of cargo. Yang Fan wants to build or buy a shipyard in Beitangkou to build some faster ships.
Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty's lucky ships take one month to go from Tianjin to Nagasaki, and two months to go back and forth. They can only go six times a year. It is really unbearably slow.
Yang Fan's cargo is not large, but its value is very high, so what Yang Fan needs is a fast sailing ship.
While Yang Fan was thinking, noisy shouts came from outside.
Yang Fan opened the window and took a look. He was passing by a lake. Many small boats were sailing out of the reed swamps. Some ragged men on them were holding knives and guns and were sailing towards the fleet, shouting.
