Chapter 45: Trading Partner Refreshed

Wu Dashi nodded: "That is no problem. I have finished with all my tools; now I need a furnace."

Yan Ning nodded and immediately had Er Gouzi make the arrangements.

Yan Ning took Wu Dashi and the others to see Lady Xie. At this moment, she was somewhat anxious, and in a moment of carelessness, the glass bead she was making was suddenly flattened.

Lady Xie turned her head and saw Yan Ning standing behind her with three silversmiths watching.

She felt a bit embarrassed: "I was a little anxious just now. I don't know why, but there are always small air bubbles inside some of the Glazed Glass."

Yan Ning took them over to look. One pile consisted of small teardrop beads that had been made perfectly, while the other pile consisted of teardrop beads that had bubbles or defects.

Before Yan Ning could speak, Wu Dashi immediately became excited: "These bubbles look really beautiful. If they were larger, we could make pendants; this string of bubbles looks quite lovely."

Lady Xie's eyes lit up instantly. Looking closely, the bubbles inside were indeed quite nice.

Yan Ning said with a smile: "Hurry up and keep working. In a few days, I will take these to Haicheng."

After the three silversmiths left, Lady Xie lowered her voice and asked: "Ningning, when you went to Haicheng and Shawan County, did you see any wanted posters for me and my husband? Not having been to the Cai Shi Chang for so long, I always feel uneasy in my heart."

Besides this, another reason for Lady Xie's unease was that Xie Luyan was constantly plotting how to incite the First Prince to rebel.

Yan Ning smiled: "Of course not. We have already greased the wheels at the mine; through intimidation and bribery, they wouldn't dare say anything."

Lady Xie finally felt at ease and prepared to continue making glass: "Can this glass be made a bit larger? It could even be made into a pendant."

Yan Ning hurriedly said: "Stop for now. Wait until I tinker with how to make colored glass; just being transparent is truly too monotonous."

Lady Xie nodded. In any case, the teardrop beads and ornaments made over these past few days were already enough, and enough to keep those silversmiths busy for a long time. It was better to first see if there were other colors of Glazed Glass.

Yan Ning walked a few steps, then turned back and asked: "Do you have any larger pieces of Glazed Glass?"

Lady Xie nodded: "I do. These two pieces are pure transparent Glazed Glass. I was still thinking about whether to melt them down and remake them, or turn them into ornaments."

Yan Ning said with a smile: "If possible, from now on, when you make transparent Glazed Glass, keep these large pieces for me. I plan to make a Telescope; with a Telescope, we can be a bit safer."

Lady Xie became interested: "A Glazed Glass Telescope, what use is that?"

Yan Ning: "A good Telescope can see scenes from a thousand miles away. If we can know sooner that someone is attacking, we can make preparations in advance."

Lady Xie understood this time.

Yan Ning took the two pieces of Glazed Glass, drew a blueprint, and had a carpenter make it into the shape of a Telescope. She also pestered Wu Dashi to make two lenses.

Before long, a Telescope was finished.

Yan Ning climbed up to the Watchtower to look around. This simple Telescope could actually see the reefs and seagulls in the distance clearly.

Yan Ning handed the Telescope to Zhuo Heng, who was standing guard: "You take this. Keep an eye on the distance whether there is anything going on or not. If an accident occurs, find someone immediately."

There was a gong on the Watchtower. As long as there was movement, this gong would be struck, and all the guards would assemble upon hearing it.

Zhuo Heng took it and glanced through it: "This... this is so magical? If two armies were at war and had this thing, wouldn't it be like having divine help?"

Yan Ning said with a smile: "Yes, it should have been made long ago."

Yan Ning still wanted to look more, but her father beckoned to her.

"Ningning, come quickly."

If it weren't for an important matter, her father certainly wouldn't have called her so urgently.

Yan Ning quickly climbed down from the Watchtower and walked to Yan Ze's side.

Yan Ze lowered his voice and said: "My Trading System has finally refreshed. There is one piece of good news and one piece of bad news. The good news is that I discovered something the previous trading partner left for me; the bad news is that this time the trading partner is from a Primitive Tribe."

Yan Ning opened her mouth.

From a Primitive Tribe, what could they trade?

Forget it, let's not worry about that for now.

Yan Ning asked with some curiosity: "Dad, you said you discovered the previous trading partner left you something? Why didn't you discover it until now?"

Yan Ze sighed: "It's because this Trading System is full of bugs everywhere. After the other party terminated the trade, they left a 'transmigration gift package' for us. The package was placed inside the trading box, and it didn't show up once the system closed. It was only just now, when I discovered the Trading System had switched planes, that I saw this package of things."

Yan Ning stared at this large package of items, thinking to herself that the previous trading partner was truly a good person. She remembered that her father hadn't even given them anything valuable.

Inside this large package were quite a few glass coloring agents, which were exactly what Yan Ning wanted. There was also a large bag of cotton Seed, and additionally, a black box. Upon opening it, it was actually a gun, and quite a few bullets were placed inside.

She didn't expect that this person could actually manage to get a gun over here.

At the very bottom was a map, marked with various resources, minerals, and plants, along with an Instruction Manual.

The Instruction Manual read:

【I recently checked some data and guessed that we might be people from the same plane but in different time periods. The map should also be similar. I hope it can help you.】

Yan Ning exclaimed: "This transmigration gift package is truly a great gift."

Yan Ning looked at the dyes, which were contained in glass bottles with wooden stoppers. The bottles were about one thousand milliliters, and glass dyes don't require much coloring agent to be added; these dyes could be used for a very, very long time.

At this moment, Yan Ze said: "Ningning, keep an eye on things for me, I am going to enter a trade."

Just now, the system reminded him that the people from the Primitive Tribe were already very anxious to speak with him.

Yan Ze only saw the person on the other side of the video wearing furs, their body dirty, and one could tell just by looking that life was very difficult.

Yan Ze offered a greeting: "Hello, what items do you need?"

The person on the other side said: "Medicine to make wild beasts go into heat, and weapons. What do you need?"

Yan Ze: "Well, I need quite a lot: vegetable Seed, fruit saplings, animal hides..."

The person on the other side thought for a long time and asked: "Do you want Corn and Sweet Potato? I can trade with you. The meat of the wild beasts here is also very good."

Yan Ze nodded: "That works. I'll go get it for you."

After Yan Ze exited the connection, he was at a loss: "The things the other party can give us are Corn, Sweet Potato, and wild beast meat—I hear it's very delicious—but they want medicine to induce heat in wild beasts..."

How was he supposed to bring this up to Qian Ruofang?

It just seemed very improper.

Yan Ning found it strange: "In my impression, shouldn't Primitive Tribes be migrating at any time, moving to the next piece of land after eating through one?"

Yan Ze said: "Not necessarily. I see they have already learned to plant trees and grow crops themselves. Asking for wild beasts to mate, I reckon they are also attempting to domesticate fierce beasts."

Yan Ze stared at his daughter and asked: "Why don't you go find Qian Ruofang to make the medicine to induce heat in wild beasts? It's not appropriate for me to say this."
