Chapter 10.10. Discussing the Production of Glass
Uncle Zhou's condition has deteriorated from a simple cold to a severe case of cold.

Given the medical capabilities of this world, any further delay would only lead to death.

I've heard that in ancient times, a cold could indeed be fatal.

"Really? Yaoyao! As long as your medicine can cure your Uncle Zhou's illness, I don't need this money, you can have it all."

She went to Huichuntang, where the doctor said that the head of the household's illness had been delayed for too long and was difficult to cure.

She was willing to try anything, as long as there was a glimmer of hope.

“Aunt Zhou, no need for the money. You’ve helped us a lot in the past, and this money is to repay you. My medicine isn’t worth much.”

Silently thinking to myself, I realized that her ginseng fruit was actually quite valuable!

The white fox Yaoyao secretly took a slice of ginseng fruit from her spatial storage, crushed it in a bowl, and added some warm water.

"Uncle Zhou, drink it quickly! You'll feel better after drinking it."

The old man said that ginseng fruit can cure all diseases and prolong life, so it should be able to cure a minor cold.

"Okay! I'll drink it." Uncle Zhou drank it down in one gulp without any hesitation.

He had no hope for the medicine at all.

Anyway, his illness is incurable. The child has gone to so much trouble for him, and if he doesn't drink it, it will break the child's heart.

As a result, I felt refreshed after drinking it.

My sore throat no longer hurts.

"Yaoyao! Your medicine is amazing! It's not bitter at all, and it even has a slightly sweet fruity aroma! I feel much better after drinking it!"

Uncle Zhou immediately felt refreshed and full of energy after drinking it.

Her medicine is truly amazing.

"That's wonderful! That's really wonderful!" Aunt Zhou wiped away her tears.

"Yaoyao! Is your Uncle Zhou really cured?" Aunt Zhou excitedly grasped her hand.

She saved the head of the household; we should thank her properly.

She never imagined that this medicine would be even more effective than the medicine from Huichuntang.

Bai Hu Yaoyao nodded emphatically; she hadn't expected the ginseng fruit to be so effective.

She was happy to see that Uncle Zhou had recovered.

These people were all very kind to her; saving him was her way of repaying their kindness.

"Aunt Zhou, you're too kind! Uncle Zhou is in good health now, he just needs to rest for a couple of days."

The effects of ginseng fruit are indeed powerful.

Uncle Zhou's face is flushed now; he doesn't look like a patient at all.

Aunt Zhou wept with joy, "Yaoyao! You saved my husband! Take this money, and I'll go get you some more food!"

He insisted on stuffing the money in his hand into her hand.

Her role as head of the household is worth far more than just ten taels of silver.

"Oh, Aunt Zhou, I don't want the money, and you don't need the grain either. I'm here today to discuss business with Uncle Zhou."

White Fox Yaoyao quickly gave her the silver.

She came here today because of the glass issue. She didn't expect that her mother had also borrowed money from Uncle Zhou. Paying back the money and saving Uncle Zhou was just a convenient thing to do.

"Discuss business? What kind of business does Yaoyao want to do? Just tell me, and Uncle Zhou will definitely help you if he can."

Uncle Zhou was able to get out of bed and walk again.

He even felt that his body was better than before.

It's like I've become more than ten years younger.

"Then you two chat, I'll go make dinner. Yaoyao, stay home for dinner. If you refuse again, your auntie won't be happy."

Aunt Zhou gave Yao Yao a reproachful look.

White Fox Yaoyao was both amused and exasperated. "Then I won't be polite!"

"Why are you being so polite with your aunt? You two talk business, I'll go cook!" Aunt Zhou put away the money and went to the kitchen.

Now that her husband is healthier, she is also in a better mood.

Uncle Zhou chuckled. "That's just how your aunt is! Don't pay her any attention! Tell me about your business."

“Okay!” Bai Hu Yaoyao explained her idea of ​​making glass.

Uncle Zhou puffed on his pipe, frowned, and pondered for a moment. "You mean glass? You can really make it?"

If this could be made into glass, that would be an extraordinary achievement.

He once crafted a dagger for a nobleman. When the nobleman came to collect the dagger, he was carrying a folding fan with a pendant hanging from it, on which was a glass bead.

I heard that a glass bead the size of a thumbnail costs more than a thousand taels of silver.

Even if an ordinary person has money, they can't find a way to buy glass beads.

If he could create glass here, it would be an absolutely sensational feat that would shake the world.

Glass?

Bai Hu Yaoyao's lips twitched. Here, people call all glass products "liuli".

“Uncle Zhou, since I’ve said this, I can definitely make it. You have a furnace and a workshop here. If you improve the things in the workshop, you can definitely make glass. Let’s just open a glass factory.”

Uncle Zhou's family are blacksmiths for generations. They have a large workshop with a furnace that can refine the raw materials needed to make glass.

With the technology, opening a glass factory wouldn't be a problem.

In ancient times, glass was always a valuable commodity.

“Okay! I’ll follow your lead! If I can make it, I’ll quit blacksmithing and start making glass.”

The Zhou family had been blacksmiths for generations, but by his generation, the business was a complete mess.

If we could do something else to earn money, that would be great, this family is just too poor!
His two sons are currently in school, and he is almost out of money to buy pens and ink.

The Lunar New Year is approaching again, and the children will be coming home for the holiday. When they leave, we need to prepare money for them for the coming year.

This is a considerable sum of money. If the Liulichang project can be successfully completed, we won't have to worry about any of these things anymore.

"Alright! Then it's settled for now. Here are the recipe, process, and raw materials for making glass. I'll leave these to Uncle Zhou."

The white fox Yaoyao handed him what she had written.

He also gave him a silver note containing five hundred taels of silver.

Only with silver can one buy the raw materials for making glass.

Uncle Zhou, holding the paper and the silver notes, was somewhat taken aback. "Yaoyao, you're just giving me the secret recipe so readily? Aren't you afraid I'll keep it all for myself?"

Bai Hu Yaoyao smiled, and Uncle Zhou, who looked completely bewildered, actually seemed a little dazed.

"Uncle Zhou, I know your character well. Once the glass is made, make some for my window first."

Uncle Zhou seems like a good person at the moment, but no one can guarantee that a person won't change over time.

Anything can change when faced with self-interest; she wouldn't gamble with someone's heart.

A shrewd person knows how to assess the situation and act accordingly.

She believed that Uncle Zhou was not that kind of person.

"Alright! Make the glass, and you can use it first!"

Uncle Zhou couldn't help but burst into laughter, his hearty laughter carrying far on this cold winter night.

Bai Hu Yaoyao ate dinner at the Zhou family's house, but only took a few bites.

Sure enough, no one's life is easy. The Zhou family only cooked a cabbage soup with some minced meat in it.

I also made a few dark-colored steamed buns and a bowl of pickled vegetables.

The white fox Yaoyao ate a few bites and then went home; the food was really not good.

After returning home, I went straight to my room, closed the door, and then slipped into my spatial dimension.

"Wow! These vegetables are ripe already?"

The vegetables she planted actually grew quite a bit taller in just one day.

The cabbages have grown tall, the eggplants have blossomed, and the other green vegetables are also showing signs of ripening.

Judging by the current trend, we should be able to eat it in another two days.

The flow rate in this space is different from that outside; one day outside is equivalent to one month inside.

"No wonder the grain shopkeeper said that these seeds are mixed together and may not be the seeds of any particular vegetable! There are actually quite a few different kinds."

The extra vegetables included spinach, bok choy, cucumber, cantaloupe, green beans, and even a few leeks.

The white fox Yaoyao carefully moved the chives aside.

Once the chive seeds mature, she can plant more chives.

To reiterate, this new story is different from my previous stories featuring two virgins; it features one female and multiple males.

In order to survive, the female protagonist has no choice but to become a fickle and promiscuous woman, much like a story about having children in a beast world.

Writing is hard work, so please just enjoy it and don't accept mindless criticism.
