Chapter 690 The owner of Xianhai Tower 3
There are also fruits all over the mountains and plains. In the year of the first harvest, everyone's wallet was bulging.
Now everyone hates Boss Gu as a profiteer...
It sounds really cool.
"Thank you for telling me this." Ye Qianning stood up and stretched.
"Where is the girl, Jiang also wants to thank the girl for the water." Jiang Chenyi also stood up.
"There are many people on your boat, and the little water is not enough for you to reach the shore. I will teach you a way to get fresh water."
"A way to get fresh water?" Jiang Chenyi was surprised, a way to get fresh water?
"Sister, how can I get fresh water without going ashore?" Jiang Yue was curious.
"Distillation."
"What is distillation?"
"It's just water vapor."
Jiang Chenyi frowned and didn't quite understand.
Ye Qianning saw that they were confused, so he went to the end, took out the pots and pans, walked out of the cabin, and simply built a shelf on the deck.
Take out the brazier and place it under the pot.
"Master Jiang, please bring some sea water."
Jiang Chenyi nodded, picked up the container, and took a bucket of seawater with a rope.
Ye Qianning poured seawater into the pot, and lit the fire below. After a while, the seawater boiled, and the steam rose up and hit the utensils placed above.
The steam turns into water droplets and flows out along the bamboo tube bit by bit.
Tick-tick-tick, not long after, a layer of water appeared in the container under the bamboo tube.
Ye Qianning poured water into the cup, waited for the condensation to pass to Jiang Chenyi: "Drink and watch."
Jiang Chenyi looked at the clear water, hesitated for a moment before picking up the cup, took a few sips, there was no expected salty taste, his eyes were shocked and surprised: "This is... this is... fresh water?"
Ye Qianning nodded.
"I'll try it." Jiang Yue took the cup and drank it down, her eyes widened in surprise: "It's really fresh water, sister, you are amazing."
"Girl." Jiang Chenyi was so excited that he didn't know how to describe it.
Simple utensils can produce fresh water, God, true God.
"It's called distilled water."
"Distilled water?"
"Yes, boil the seawater until it boils, the fresh water evaporates into water vapor, and the steam condenses to become distilled water, that is, fresh water. After the seawater in the pot is burned out, what remains is sea salt."
Jiang Chenyi's eyes fell on the utensils. It turns out that fresh water can be obtained so easily. With this method, people who lose their way at sea will not die due to lack of fresh water.
"Thank you, miss." Jiang Chenyi bowed deeply to Ye Qianning.
"It's nothing, it's just a very simple principle."
"No, the girl is willing to tell us such an important matter. Jiang must keep it in mind. If the girl encounters anything after going ashore, she can go to Jiang's house in Qingzhou for help." Jiang Chenyi took out a coin from his bosom as he spoke. The jade token was handed to her.
"No."
How can a little common sense want such an important thing from others.
"Sister, just accept it." Jiang Yue snatched the jade card and forced it into Ye Qianning's hands: "Sister is a life-saving grace to us."
Ye Qianning saw that he couldn't refuse: "Okay."
Jiang Yue chuckled, wanting to hold Ye Qianning's arm in a familiar way.
Ye Qianning dodged instinctively.
Jiang Yue hugged blankly: "Sister?"
"I don't like touching people very much." Ye Qianning said.
Jiang Yue didn't feel embarrassed at all, she scratched her head: "Hehe, I was the one to be abrupt."

Two days passed, with the method of distilling water, the people on the big boat solved the problem of fresh water, and the Jiang family adored the little **** the small boat.
Although Huo Tu was dissatisfied with Ye Qianning, the matter of water and food was settled, but he didn't bother her anymore.
Huo Feng is very new to the distillation method, and has studied it many times. They never thought of such a simple thing.
These two days, Jiang Yue was on Ye Qianning's boat every day. Her elder sister was long and her elder sister was short. Huo Liran groaned and groaned. She was just an ugly fish girl. Why is she so flattering?
Ye Qianning stayed for two days. Apart from Jiang Yue, Jiang Chenyi would also sit on the boat, and learned a lot about the four countries from him.
Beili's business is also very large at present, but private business was banned a few years ago, and business can only be conducted through the imperial business.
Private businessmen in Beili who are unwilling to go into business gradually make a living elsewhere.
Business in Beili makes money, and the national treasury is getting richer and richer, but the people seem to be not as rich as before. They basically rely on farming and rely on the sky to live. If there is a natural disaster.
The people are miserable.
Ye Qianning thinks that Bei Li is really good at doing things, monopolizing the business of the whole country, and enjoying the sweetness of business, he is afraid that he has already set his sights on Nan Yuan and Gu Shuo.
Beili approached Gu Shuo many times to ask him to abide by the regulations of the Beili Imperial Merchant, accepting Nanyuan Aquatic Products and Xianhai Building as Beili's industry, but Gu Shuo rejected them all. For the Gu family, there is a boss above Gu Shuo.
The boss is not from Beili, and he is a big businessman, so Beili naturally has nothing to do with it.
No one knows who the boss Gu Shuo mentioned is.
The more greedy Emperor Beili is, the better in her eyes now, she has a lot of ways to defeat the imperial merchants of Beili.
Thinking about it, she couldn't wait.
"Miss Ye isn't going with us anymore?" Jiang Chenyi was surprised.
"I still have some things to do, so I won't go with you."
Jiang Yue frowned when she heard this.
"What's the matter, do you want our help?"
"No, this is for you." Ye Qianning took out a self-made compass from the space.
"This is?"
"Compass, he will keep you on board without losing your way."
"Compass? Is the direction always pointing south?"
"Yes, no matter where you turn, its position is always pointing to the south. The direction of the ship is north. If you follow the compass in the opposite direction, the route will not go wrong. If you go fast, you can reach the coast in more than 20 days." Ye Qianning thought The Jiang brothers and sisters are not bad.
"Thank you, miss." Jiang Chenyi didn't refuse.
In two days, he really admired this little girl, she knew a lot, and the boat was a novelty, there was no man at the helm, and it was all mechanism structure, which he had never seen before.
"Sister, are you really not leaving with us?" Jiang Yue pouted and looked at her eagerly.
"kindness."
"Sister, when you go ashore, you must come to Qingzhou to find me."
"When I have time, I will go."
"Must come."
Ye Qianning smiled and nodded.
Jiang Chenyi took Jiang Yue back to the big boat.
Ye Qianning's ship slowly drifted away.
"Jiang Chenyi, why did her ship leave?" Huo Liran lay on the deck, watching the ship go away.
"Miss Ye still has something to do." Jiang Chenyi said perfunctorily.
"What's wrong, there is clearly a ghost, how can you let her go."
Jiang Chenyi frowned: "Miss Ye is a free person, she can leave as she wants, Miss Huo pays attention to her words."
"That's right, if it wasn't for Sister Ye, would you have fresh water to drink? Your tone of voice is so bad." Jiang Yue disliked Huo Liran the most.
"You... She poured some ecstasy soup on you Jiang brothers and sisters, you let her go, if she points us in the wrong direction, even if there is fresh water, it will be useless."
Jiang Chenyi's face darkened slightly.
"Second brother, go, don't talk to her." Jiang Yue dragged Jiang Chenyi into the cabin.
