“It’s really amazing. Tell me how it turned into ice. If we use this method to make ice and sell it, then this summer we…” Huang Zilan could completely predict that the town and even the capital would go crazy for this—an ice craze situation.

“Forget it, if we use this recipe, we will be targeted. We can only use it by themselves. And we have to watch our backs when using it.” Liao Tingyu it was very unrealistic to sell this ice.

“Oh!” Huang Zilan said sadly. He also knew that he was incapable and this recipe might be a life-saving talisman. It was a pity.

But with this, he finally didn’t have to save using a little ice a month.

There was really little saltpeter, such a wonderful thing! Huang Zilan now had the same thoughts as Liao Tingyu, which was too rare.

After eating, Huang Zilan said:

“You go in and have a rest first. I’ll watch the cart. You didn’t sleep well last night, so go and take a nap.”

Liao Tingyu didn’t refuse. He was full and wanted to sleep.

When he woke up again, he was awakened by the noise.

He stretched out his head and found that he had arrived at the county seat. There were many people here, “Zilan, what happened?

Liao Tingyu looked at the people gathered around him, which were basically onlookers. It seems that the county magistrate here was a very good person or people who didn’t care.

You know, basically no one dared to yell in front of the officers and soldiers.

“I’m not sure. They were surrounded just after I came here. They were all noisy. I couldn’t understand what they were saying. They were talking too fast.” Huang Zilan looked at the blocked city gate and thought in his heart very anxious.

When they entered the county town, they had to look for inns everywhere, which would take a lot of time. The sun was already half setting, but what should they do?

“I don’t know how long they will be arguing for?” Huang Zilan said.

Liao Tingyu got out of the car and planned to go to the front to clear the way.

“I’m sorry, brother. Please give way, our bullock cart needs to go in.” Liao Tingyu said politely and with a smile.

Fortunately, many people were still sensible and made way for them.

Huang Zilan carefully drove the bullock cart behind Liao Tingyu.@@novelbin@@

The further they walked; the more people dispersed.

They finally had a clear view of the two people arguing. No wonder so many onlookers gathered.

Liao Tingyu was surprised to see a blond, blue-eyed foreigner. It seemed more like a language barrier than a quarrel.

The foreigner, sweating profusely, was regarded by the crowd like a rare animal. The officer and soldier struggled to comprehend his words.

Listening to their conversation, Liao Tingyu guessed the situation from their postures. The officers and soldiers tried to guide the foreigner, but the language barrier led to a misunderstanding.

“You can show me the way or prove your identity from your country. If not, follow me to meet the commander.”

The foreigner resisted, fearing harm.

In an attempt to ease the tension, Liao Tingyu intervened, “Relax, there’s a misunderstanding. Brother, lower your weapons. I can help translate.”

The officer asked, “Do you know what he’s saying?”

“I know a bit; I can translate for you,” Liao Tingyu replied.

Huang Zilan, listening behind, wondered if Qingshan Academy taught foreign languages.

Liao Tingyu addressed the foreigners, “Our official wants your identity certificate.”

Surprisingly, the foreigner understood, producing a crumpled paper as proof.

“This is my document,” the foreigner said gratefully.

Liao Tingyu, inspecting the document with an imperial court seal, convinced the officer to stand down, ending the misunderstanding.

The officer said to Liao Tingyu, “Thank you, sir; otherwise, there would be a big misunderstanding. To be honest, when they come to our place, we don’t understand what they are saying. We only know that they are talking nonsense. I don’t know which country the people are from, and they have weird looks, but their bodies are big enough.”

Could it that big? By visual inspection, the height was only about two meters. The average height of men here was only 1.6 meters, and 1.7 meters was considered tall.

Fortunately, the people around him were not tall; otherwise, he would have thought he was short.

This man was like a turkey among the chickens.

Officials were very discerning. After all, they could understand people from other countries. He wasn’t a simple person.

No matter if there was no benefit, there would be no loss in talking too much. He pulled Liao Tingyu to talk.

“Have you been to their country? Not everyone in their country looks like this. Their hair color is really beautiful, but their eyes look scary,” the official said, and others agreed.

“Yes, yes, but I don’t think the color of his hair is good-looking. Look at it. It’s yellow, weird-looking, and it’s a little white. It’s weird and a bit like a monster, and the nose is too long and too high,” an official said as he looked at the foreigner who was dawdling.

They wanted him to go faster, but that didn’t make sense.

He couldn’t understand the gestures given to him, so he just turned a blind eye and let people do whatever they wanted even if he was watched like a rare animal.

“Yes, yes, yes, I think so.”

“And look at it, his hands are several times bigger than those of the butchers in our county! I don’t know how strong he is,” others agreed, suggesting they explore the differences between him and themselves.

Liao Tingyu had a black line on his face and interrupted what the official was about to say.

“Brothers, we are going into the city. This is our guide. Can you let us go first? We can talk when we have time. And there are so many people waiting!”

“Ah?” The officer looked around and looked familiar.

The man said carelessly, “Let’s consider them coming from afar. These people are all acquaintances. Don’t worry, the person who wants to enter the city knows how to go in.”

“Yes, that’s right, that’s right. You can go first.” The people around him chuckled, laughing.

An older man said, “What are the young people doing here? Is there a place to stay? If not, there my inn where you can rest.”

Liao Tingyu was surprised: “You don’t even guard the inn, why come here to watch the fun?”

“It’s okay. My family watched it. I just came to take a look. I have never seen such a strange person in my life. Even if he is dead, I can show off!” The old man said openly, “I’m telling you, don’t underestimate these people. Look at that man. No one was watching him in his store. He was so busy that he didn’t even close the store door, so he just ran over with me.”

The arriving people laughed. “It’s okay, the neighbors will keep an eye on my store! Hey, young man, I want to ask you, have you been there?”

What else can Liao Tingyu say now?

Chat!

Huang Zilan sat on one side of the bullock cart and made room for him.

As Liao Tingyu sat there, the ears of everyone around him stood up, ready to listen to the story.

Huang Zilan looked at him expectantly. The feeling of being watched by everyone was indeed very stressful.

“You are right. In their place, they are basically the same as us. The people there are generally taller than us. People like us are a group of dwarfs, and their strength not necessarily stronger than the rest of us, but definitely stronger than me.” This sentence made everyone empathize and laugh.

“And his eyes are blue, just like our eyes which are black. There’s nothing special about it, just a different color. I guess it’s because their ancestors were too tall and looked at the sky too much. It’s becoming blue.”

Liao Tingyu said nonsense.

“Then how did they grow so tall?” one person asked.

“They like to drink the milk of animals, such as goat milk and cow’s milk. As long as they drink it, they will basically grow taller. Little guy, you can also drink some and add some tea to remove the fishy smell. You will definitely be taller than your parents.” Liao Tingyu said looking at the small kid.

The little kid nodded very solemnly: “I will tell my mother and father when I get back and ask them to make goat milk for me.”

Everyone listened to the child’s words.

An uncle said kindly: “I will go home and get some for my little grandson to drink. Little kid, if you want to drink goat’s milk, come to my house and I will give you a penny for a bowl.”

“Thank you. Thank you, uncle.” The little kid said sweetly.

“Our babies also want to drink together. You can’t favor one over the other!”

“Don’t worry, my family has raised more than 300, which will definitely be enough.”

Seeing that Liao Tingyu had no intention of leaving, the foreigner had to find a corner to wait for this. When will the crowd disperse?

It was a pity that he didn’t understand the reason why this man talked longer and longer, was actually him.

Feeling that these people were honest, Liao Tingyu simply started bragging. Although it was bragging, it still had some connection with reality.

Huang Zilan had never heard of this before, and he couldn’t help but admire the person next to him who was talking eloquently.

“I’m telling you; they like to eat bread the most in those places. It’s similar to our pancakes. It’s not flat. It’s like several big pancakes cut and piled up like this stone. The rich ones put sweet honey on it. They eat like this every day.”

“Then won’t they get tired of it?”

“Don’t they eat meat?”

“No, they eat bread just like us. Will you get tired of eating? Their meat can only be roasted, not like we have meatballs, stir-fried meat, stewed meat…”
