At the thought of this, Li Yan flashed and entered the space again. When he was in the space, he really didn't like others watching from the side. However, in order to help Li Na and the others, he had no choice but to bring them into the space to take a look. Now, the Carlin family still had to rely on them.
This time, Li Yan let Li Na and Zhao Xuan know about the situation in the space so that they could be more confident. Now, the dangers in the Yellow Earth Plateau were coming one after another. If Li Na and the others lost confidence, everything would be over.
After entering the space, Li Yan immediately bought the radishes. This time, he bought three seasons of radishes. He bought a total of 1,500 gold coins. Adding the original 50 gold coins, he had 1,550 gold coins in his hands. If he used these gold coins to plant radishes, he could plant ten seasons of radishes.
It was not that Li Yan did not want to use radishes to save seeds, but radishes were different from corn. When they matured, they mainly ate the roots. He did not know if the space would allow them to save seeds. Moreover, even if radishes were to be saved, the number of seeds would be very small, far less than the yield of corn. Therefore, Li Yan did not use radishes to save seeds.
In any case, they could earn quite a bit of money by selling the radishes. If they sold them outside, they would earn even more. As long as they waited for Zhao Lin to return, they could go and sell the radishes. At that time, he would be able to buy some books regarding the plants of the continent. This way, he could decide what he wanted to plant. Right now, he had too little understanding of the plants of the continent, and he couldn't develop even if he wanted to.
Li Yan had no other choice. If he bought the radishes now, he could still harvest a season's worth of radishes tomorrow. In any case, he told Zhao Lin that he only had 80,000 catties of radishes on hand. A season's worth of radishes was enough for the time being.
However, although he had more than 1,500 gold coins, it was not enough. Luo Tian could collect them three times a day. In other words, the gold coins in his hand were only enough for three days. After three days, he had to sell the radishes again.
Li Yanchu was very helpless. His level was too low now. Even if he wanted to buy some high-level seeds, he could not. Therefore, he could only wait. At this speed, he did not know when he could level up the space again.
After coming out of the space, Li Yan fell asleep in bed not long after. He also realized that he seemed to be particularly able to sleep now. He had clearly slept in the afternoon, but he could still sleep at night. It was unbelievable.
The next morning, Li Yan was woken up by the sound of radish ripening in the space. When he went into the space, he saw that not only the radish, but even the corn was about to ripen.
Li Yan immediately put away the radishes and bought a bag of radish seeds to plant. He looked at the corn and saw that it would ripen in a few minutes. Li Yan did not want to go out. He washed his face with the water in the space and rinsed his mouth. He waited in the space.
Looking at the corn, Li Yan was really gluttonous. He used to live in the north. Although no one treated corn as a staple food at that time, it was very good to eat it occasionally. However, the corn at that time was high-yield corn and not as delicious as the sticky corn in the past. Moreover, most of them were grown with chemical fertilizers, so the taste was far inferior to that of farm manure. Therefore, Li Yan only ate it occasionally.
However, some Li Yan went to his relatives in the countryside and ate something good. They used a big iron pot in the countryside to paste cornflour on the cake. It was delicious, too delicious.
The cornbread was completely different from the ones bought in the city. Although the cornflour was very rough, the cake was very fragrant. The bottom of the pot was stewed with vegetables, and the lower part of the cake was stuck with vegetable soup. One side of the cake was fried with red rice crust. After taking a bite, not only would the cake smell of cornflour, but also the rice crust, which was fragrant in the paste, would be even more fragrant.
Thinking of this, Li Yan couldn't help but salivate uncontrollably. He seemed to be talking non-stop. Li Yan came back to his senses and hurriedly swallowed his saliva twice before smiling bitterly.
Although he had eaten corn gruel and cornbread, he didn't know how to process them. He only knew that the processing of corn gruel was relatively simple. All he needed to do was to peel the skin and remove the navel. As for cornmeal, it was more troublesome. He had to first add the corn into the corn gruel and then grind it into cornmeal.
If it was on Earth, processing corn would be a very simple matter. They would find a grain processing plant and turn on the machine.
However, this was not possible here. There were no grinders here at all. There was no way to process the corn.
Li Yan sighed. At this moment, the notification sound of the space rang out again. The corn was ripe. Li Yan immediately put the corn away and planted the two mu of corn again. Then, he looked at the corn field in a daze. The yield of the corn was high, but the processing was a problem. He really didn't know how people ate corn in the past.
Suddenly, Li Yan was enlightened. He suddenly realized a problem. The appearance of corn must have been older than the appearance of machines such as the grinder and flour grinder. In the years when there were no machines, did people cook corn like this? People at that time weren't that stupid, were they? How did they process the corn?
Li Yan walked around in the space a few times and touched his forehead out of habit, thinking about how people used to process rice and noodles.
Suddenly, Li Yan slapped his forehead. He finally remembered two things. He had only seen people use these two things on television, but he had never used them himself. Moreover, he had never seen the people in the countryside use them, so he could not remember them at the moment.
Rollers, stone grinders!
Yes, these two things. When Li Yan visited his relatives in the countryside, he saw a millstone. However, it was a millstone that had been dismantled. Now, there was no one in the countryside with that thing. However, out of curiosity, he asked what the millstone and the roller were used for. After asking, he found out that the millstone and the roller were used to make rice and noodles.
Most importantly, the main ingredients of these two items were stones and wood. Although there were not many stones available for mining in the mountains, they should be enough to make a roller and a stone mill. As for wood, they didn't need much. Therefore, they didn't need good materials. The small trees growing on the mountains were enough.
Thinking of this, Li Yan could not stay any longer. He immediately came out of the space and looked at the sky outside. Zhao Xuan and the others should have woken up by now. Li Yan immediately pushed the door open and walked out.
As soon as Li Yan came out, he saw Zhao Xuan and Li Dou walking into his room with a copper basin. Seeing Li Yan come out, Zhao Xuan couldn't help but be stunned and quickly said,"Young Master, why did you come out? You haven't washed up yet.”
Li Yan smiled and said," It's fine. I woke up a long time ago. I've already washed up. Li Dou, is your brother alright?" Are you up yet?"
Li Dou was standing behind Zhao Xuan with his head lowered. When he heard Li Yan's words, he quickly said,"Thank you for your concern, Young Master. Ann has recovered and is waiting outside to visit you.”
Li Yan smiled and said," Why are you being so polite? What do you mean by greeting? Let's go to the living room first. Call An over. I have something to ask him."”
Zhao Xuanhe was stunned for a moment, but she did not say anything. The two of them immediately responded and followed Li Yan into the living room.
In the living room, Zhao Xuan put down the copper basin in her hand and stood behind Li Yan. Li Dou, on the other hand, went outside to greet her.
The inner castle was divided into the main castle and the servant rooms. The main castle was where Li Yan and the others lived, while the servant rooms were small rooms for the servants. At the back of the main castle, Li Dou and Ann lived in the servant rooms. Although they were commoners and had been given surnames by Li Yan, their status was still far inferior to Zhao Xuan and the others. Zhao Xuan and the others were trusted aides, while Li Dou and the others were only ordinary servants.
After a while, Li Dou led An in. An was really good-looking. He was also very tall, but a little thin, but he looked very strong.
Now, he no longer looked like he was on the verge of death, but he still lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
Li Dou walked up to Li Yan and lowered his head."Young Master, Ann is here."
Li Yan nodded and glanced at Ann who was standing not far away. He smiled and said,"Call him over. There's no need for such a big rule. I have something to ask him.”
Li Dou immediately called Ann over. As soon as Ann arrived in front of Li Yan, Butong immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "An greets Young Master. Thank you for saving my life.”
It seemed that Li Dou had already told him before he came. That was why he called Li Yan Young Master instead of Master. Li Yan nodded." You don't have to be so polite. You're already a member of the Carlin family. It's only right for me to save you. Stand up and answer me."”
"Thank you, Young Master."”After saying that, he stood up. However, he still half-bowed and lowered his head, not daring to look at Li Yan.
When Li Yan saw Ann's expression, he could not help but frown. He did not like it when people treated him like this. He did not like it when people treated him like a slave. " Ann, look up. You have to remember that you are now a member of the Carlin family and a commoner. If you go out and do anything in the future, you will represent the face of our Carlin family. Don't always bow down and look like a slave. That will make people look down on our Carlin family.”
Seeing that Li Yan seemed to be angry, Li Dou and An knelt down and kowtowed to Li Yan at the same time."Please punish me, Young Master."
Li Yan was impatient and could only say,"Alright, stand up. Don't kneel down for no reason.”Seeing that both of them had stood up, Ann straightened her back a little. Li Yan then continued,"Ann, let me ask you, do you know some stonemason skills?”
Ann quickly replied," Yes, Young Master. My father is a stonemason. I have also learned some stonemason skills. Although I am not very proficient, I can still make ordinary things.”
Li Yan nodded and said," That's good. I'll draw two designs in a while. See if you can make them. If you can, immediately organize people to mine a few stones and make what I want as soon as possible."”
Ann's heart tightened, but she still bowed.""Yes, Young Master."
