When people arrive at the farm tool store, whether they can afford it or not, they look at the price and today's advertising.

The people of Anping were eager to buy out everything from several shops.

The streets are really busy today, and it's also the weekend before the holiday.

The factory's working hours are based on a weekly system, with six days on and one day off. Those who want to work overtime can choose to work overtime.

However, there are many people who don't have jobs, so the streets seem particularly busy.

The disciples of Mohism do not always stay in the laboratory to study models. Yesterday, the model of the Jenny textile machine was successfully reproduced.

Today there is an event being held in Anping’s main street area, and it is very lively.

Wanqi Ziye was the first to rush out of the scientific research base.

The scientific research base is an area specially designated by Mu Qing in the main city of Anping, which he intends to build as a laboratory collection area.

Currently all scientific research experiments are carried out in the base.

For the sake of confidentiality, the scientific research base is not open to the public.

Wanqi Ziye finally found an opportunity to get some fresh air and rushed to the street.

Wanqi Zixi couldn't stop him.

Cheng Yu wore a precious jade on his waist and held a folding fan in his hand. When he left the base, he looked like a nobleman.

He concentrated on the drawings of the Jenny textile machine and finally relaxed after completing his big project.

Wanqi Zixi helplessly watched Wanqi Ziye run away.

Fortunately, this is Anping, which is equipped with patrolling yamen runners. Pickpockets or human traffickers are rarely seen in Anping, so there is nothing to worry about.

Otherwise, if it were in Shengjing, Wanqi Ziye, a guy who looked like "I have money and I am easy to cheat", would not be able to walk back home safely.

If the Mohist School was not so famous in Beiyang, Wanqi Ziye would have no idea how many times he had been robbed by pickpockets.

Wanqi Ziye swam into the crowd in an instant, and the various advertisements on the street gradually dazzled him.

By the time Wanqi Zixi and Cheng Yu arrived outside the shop, Wanqi Ziye had already gone into some shop.

"Not 998, not 999, all 9 cents, all 9 cents. Snowflake salt is 9 cents a pound."

Wanqi Zixi read the advertising slogan:

"These sentences are somewhat similar to vernacular Chinese."

She looked at all kinds of interesting advertisements on the street and unknowingly memorized most of the slogans.

She turned and walked into the salt shop, saying exactly the same things.

"Nine coins for a pound of salt. I remember that the official salt in Beiyang was sold at thirty coins per pound. This is still a very low price."

Wanqi Zixi entered the salt shop with empty hands, but when he came out, he had two bags of salt in his arms.

The adult fish twitched his mouth:

"Salt?"

"Yes, the price of salt in Anping is really low, I couldn't help but buy two bags of salt."

Wanqi Zixi chuckled and really didn't blame her.

This snowflake salt was even whiter than the refined salt that the Mo family ate. Wanqi Zixi couldn't help but buy some immediately.

When they arrived at the farm tool room, not only Wanqi Zixi was surprised, but even Cheng Yu was shocked.

The Mohists not only study mechanical engineering.

The Mohist school had a wide range of interests.

Many of the farm tools of Beiyang farmers have been improved by Mohist disciples. It was thought that farm tools in other places were not as advanced as those in Beiyang.

"There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world."

Wanqi Zixi sighed.

Wanqi Zixi had never seen many of the large farm tools in the farm tool shop, let alone their uses.

Wanqi Zixi and Chengyu silently began to observe the large number of farm tools.

They knew that the drawings of the textile machine were brought by Mu Qing. Now, there were not only textile machines, but Anping seemed to have many surprises that they didn't know about.

"How much do you think these papers cost?"

"Hello, one knife of paper has 25 sheets, and the price is 9 wen."

Wanqi Ziye exclaimed:

"Are all of you in Anping a spendthrift? This paper is of excellent quality..."

Wanqi Ziye's voice was really loud, and his startled words could be heard by Wanqi Zixi who was next door in the shop with poor sound insulation.

She took two bags of salt and went to the next shop.

The adult fish followed.

"Wanqi Ziye, you really made it hard for me to find you!"

Wanqi Zixi gritted his teeth, grabbed Wanqi Ziye and was about to pull his ear.

"Sister! Don't! Look quickly."

In order to divert Wanqi Zixi's attention, Wanqi Ziye quickly took out the two pieces of paper he had just bought:

"It's strange, sister, guess how much I spent on these two pieces of paper."

Wanqi Zixi rolled her eyes and said a number at random.

"No, these two pieces of paper cost 18 cents!"

Wanqi Ziye's tone was exaggerated, and being interrupted by him, Wanqi Zixi's attention was focused on the exquisite thin paper.

The paper in Wanqi Ziye's hand felt smooth and delicate, and its quality was much better than the cheapest local paper.

Wanqi Zixi was amazed at the fineness of the papers and was also pleasantly surprised by their colors.

White high-quality paper, and the color is so pure.

“This is the paper I just bought. I heard that this paper is writing paper, which is the most common paper that can be written on.

I don’t know why the Anping government is so wealthy that they actually sold these papers at such a low price.”

The clerk of the paper shop stood aside and smiled slightly when he heard Wanqi Ziye's words:

“It’s not a cheap sale. Paper is expensive in Shengjing, and most educated people can’t afford good paper.

And all the people who read need paper every day.

Lord Mu said that the writing paper in our shop is not expensive, and it is also to make sure that everyone can afford to buy paper and read books. "

The clerk finished speaking slowly, and Wanqi Zixi just stood there in a daze.

To make it possible for people all over the world to afford books.

Wanqi Zixi looked at the snow-white pages. As far as she knew, a piece of earthen paper could be sold for several taels of silver.

And a piece of earthen paper only has twenty-five sheets in total.

Because the raw materials used to make earthen paper are of poor quality and the technology involved is not very advanced, the earthen paper feels very rough.

If used for writing, it can only be used as practice paper and is considered a low-grade writing paper.

Not to mention the rough-edged paper at 6 taels per piece, and other high-quality paper products.

The clerk saw that the brother and sister Wanqi Zixi and Wanqi Ziye were observing the paper products in the shop.

She took a pack of something similar to writing paper but softer from the display shelf.

“This is a new paper launched by our paper shop, it is called toilet paper, a type of paper towel.

It can be used for wiping after meals and for cleaning after going to the toilet. It does not cause much abrasion to the skin and is comfortable to use. "

The clerk smiled and took a few and stuffed them into Wanqi Zixi's hands.

Wanqi Zixi touched the papers and found them very soft.

The adult fish were also given a few pieces. He looked at the white toilet paper in his hand, which felt smooth to the touch.

Thinking of the rough paper she usually used for toilet paper, and thinking of what the clerk said, her cheeks flushed slightly:

"Ahem, how much is a piece of tissue paper?"

The clerk saw that someone finally bought toilet paper and continued to sell it hard:

“A piece of toilet paper costs ten cents, the same as writing paper. Today’s promotion is 10% off. I see there are many of you, so as long as five of you buy together, you can enjoy the group purchase price.

A piece of paper costs only eight cents!

We will also give away a set of cutlery paper and paper boxes to first-time customers today.”
