Reborn in Dunhuang, I am farming and doing business in the desert

Chapter 61 Emergency Lights
There were now three kinds of merchandise in the shop. Shen Zhao left with satisfaction, wondering if anyone would buy them.

But until the next day, the goods in the shop were still there, but the goat was taken off the shelves and appeared directly in the sheep pen, where it had originally disappeared.

Shen Zhao hurriedly checked the goat's body and found that there was nothing wrong with it. The grass it had bitten yesterday was still in its mouth, as if it had never disappeared.

This is strange.

Is it possible that time has stopped in that place?

If I store a living person in a shop, will everything be safe as before?

She asked Xiaoqing: "If I put myself on the shelf for sale, can someone from the Bronze Mirror World buy me?"

Xiaoqing: [No, dear. Selling intelligent species is illegal. Even if you succeed by chance, both the seller and the buyer will face legal sanctions, and your shop will be forced to close.]

Intelligent race?

Shen Zhao didn't quite understand, but he knew that this approach was a dead end.

I originally wanted to go on a sightseeing trip to the Bronze Mirror World, but my hopes were dashed.

However, if you or your family are in danger one day, can you hang yourself on the shelf to temporarily avoid disaster?

Shen Zhao thought about it secretly and decided to wait until he saved enough money and stored enough supplies and food before taking the risk.

He came out of the sheep pen and returned to the kitchen. He took off his hat and brushed off the snowflakes at the door.

There were several people gathered in the kitchen, including neighbors who came to exchange tofu, as well as my second brother, cousin, and Azhu and his son.

There were two large pots at home cooking soy milk, with filter residue hanging from the beams, and several stacks of tofu boxes on the wooden racks on the ground, with no room to even put one's feet.

Shen Zhao took a look and returned to his room. He hung his bamboo hat on the wall, rubbed his hands and said to his mother:
"Mother, how about you cook in my room from now on? My elder brother is also studying in this room, so we don't have to waste firewood and light another stove."

The key point is that the main house is too spacious and it is not warm even with the stove.

"Okay, then go call A Xun over and bring the stove to boil some tea." Zhang Shanyue was peeling potatoes and preparing lunch.

Shen Zhao agreed and ran to the main hall.

I saw the eldest brother put a low table at the door and wrote in the light. There was a small stove next to him, and he would warm his frozen fingers on it from time to time.

"Brother, please go to my room and write." Shen Zhao picked up the small charcoal stove and said, "From now on, we will cook in the wing room, and you can stay on the heated kang to study, so as not to burn the charcoal stove."

Shen Xun shook his head: "It's too dark in the room, I'd better stay outside."

My sister is already grown up, how can I stay on her kang?

"There's a stove and a fire in the room. It's not dark at all. You should go quickly. Otherwise, you'll have to spend money if you catch a cold." Shen Zhao said this deliberately and took all the cards in his hand.

Shen Xun had no choice but to follow his sister to the side room.

The room was not big, but it was unusually warm. After staying inside for a while, I felt the cold air coming out of my mouth and nose.

"You sit on the kang and write, I'll go light a lamp." Shen Zhao put the card on the kang table and urged his elder brother to get on the kang.

Shen Xun hesitated for a moment, took off his shoes and sat on the kang, and a warmth immediately spread to every part of his body.

"Just stay on the kang and take a nap if you feel tired." Shen Zhao brought over a lamp, which was exquisite and very bright.

Shen Xun picked it up and took a look, but couldn't tell what was glowing inside: "Is this an oil lamp?"

"This is called an emergency light. It uses solar energy to last for a whole night." Shen Zhao just bought it for over a hundred dollars. He set the delivery address in the red willow basket in the corner of the wall, so no one in his family noticed it.

Shen Xun was surprised: "You mean this lamp can shine without candle oil and only needs to be illuminated by the sun?"

"Yes, if it works well, I will buy two more lamps, one for you and your second brother's room, and one for parents' room." Shen Zhao pointed to the button under the lamp and said, "This is the switch, try pressing it." Shen Xun pressed it as he was told, and the light suddenly went out.

"Press it again and it will light up. It seems that the knob next to it can adjust the brightness." Shen Zhao instructed his elder brother to operate the emergency light.

Shen Xun pressed it again, and the light came on again. He turned the knob again, and the light gradually dimmed or brightened with the turn of the knob.

"Huh? How much is this lamp?" Zhang Shanyue also leaned over to take a look.

"Not expensive, a total of one hundred and eighty coins." Shen Zhao pointed the small bronze mirror back and forth, as if he was looking in the mirror, but in fact he was checking out his own store in the mall.

I accidentally clicked on a live broadcast page, and Xiaoqing's voice came as promised: [Dear, do you want to start the live broadcast? ]

Shen Zhao was startled and quickly put away the small bronze mirror.

Zhang Shanyue looked at her daughter in confusion and asked, "How long can this lamp last?"

"If it's not broken, you can keep using it." Shen Zhao stood at the door and looked around the bright room with satisfaction.

Hehe, this time the eldest brother can study and study at home with peace of mind.

Suddenly the door curtain opened and Shen Heng walked in. He was immediately surprised: "Huh? Why is it so bright?"

"Keep your voice down!" Zhang Shanyue glared at his son: "You always make a lot of noise. When are you going to change this bad habit of yours?"

Shen Heng seemed to be oblivious to his mother's nagging. He jumped onto the kang and picked up the emergency light, looking around: "Did Ah Zhao buy it again? Why is it so bright?"

"Put it there, don't disturb your brother's studies!" Zhang Shanyue slapped his son in annoyance.

Shen Heng then put down the lamp, turned to look at his sister, grinned: "A Zhao, I still have money with you"

"Got it. I'll buy it for you after dinner." Shen Zhao scooped rice into the basket and prepared to wash it.

Shen Heng snatched it away: "I'll go buy it. There are many people in the kitchen, so you stay in the house with A Niang."

After saying that, he lifted the curtain and left the room.

Shen Zhao glanced around the wing room, wondering whether he should buy two more large vats to store water.

Once it freezes, the Jinshui River outside will be completely frozen and the water level will drop to the lowest point, making it difficult to wash rice and vegetables every day.

If there are two large vats, a lot of clean water can be stored at one time, and at least you don’t have to run back and forth every day and waste time.

Just as I was thinking about it, Shen Heng ran in again and said hurriedly: "Mom! Auntie is here."

"What's the matter?" The child's aunt seldom comes to their house. It's snowing heavily today, so why is she here now?
Shen Heng: "I heard that my eldest cousin's wife has a stomachache, so I asked you to go over and take a look."

When Zhang Shanyue heard this, he immediately put down the vegetables in his hand, lifted the curtain and went out. Sure enough, he saw his sister-in-law standing at the door of the kitchen and talking to Shen De.

When she saw Zhang Shanyue, her aunt grabbed her and said, "Aunt, please help me check on my daughter-in-law. She's not even full term yet, and she's already bleeding."

"Oh, why are you bleeding out of nowhere? Are you tired?" Zhang Shanyue asked as she followed her sister-in-law out.

Shen Zhao quickly took a bamboo hat and handed it over: "Mother, put on the bamboo hat."

The snow outside was falling heavier and heavier, the whole area was hazy, even the sand was white.

Zhang Shanyue took the hat and put it on, urging her daughter to go back: "Cook the meal first. If I come back late, you can eat first."

"Yeah." Actually, Shen Zhao also wanted to go and take a look, but what A Niang said clearly didn't allow him to go with her.
