Xie Ying couldn't help but feel a little uncertain: "???"

Could it be that she made a mistake?

She looked at Xie Di again and saw that he was circling around Xie Tang happily like a little follower. She couldn't help but look at Situ Yuan with pride.

Now that Xie Tang is here, she doesn't believe that Xie Di will continue to pester Situ Yuan!

Xie Ying smiled and curved her eyes, like a fat fox.

But soon, she couldn't laugh anymore.

Xie Tang and Xie Di actually got involved with Situ Yuan!

Xie Ying: “…”

In order to find out why the two men liked to pester Situ Yuan, she secretly hid outside the window and listened.

Then they discovered that Situ Yuan was like a know-it-all, telling them many stories, which frightened them.

After all, Xie Tang and Xie Di are both children, so they naturally like to listen to stories.

But Situ Yuan knows more, so it’s easy for him to deal with the two little kids, right?

Not to mention them, even Xie Ying listened with great interest.

But she left without listening any further.

The main thing is that I can't afford to lose face.

Jiang Er stayed on Penglai Island for half a month and witnessed the harvest of sunflower seeds, peanuts, rapeseed, etc.

Since it was their first time to come into contact with sunflower seeds, everyone didn't know that they could cut off the flower head of the sunflower seeds and stick it on the stem to dry in the sun, so they cut them directly, carefully threshed them by hand, and then dried them in the sun.

Peanuts are dug out and then dried directly.

Luo Zheng also found doctors and craftsmen to study the uses of rubber tree sap and coffee berries. However, rubber trees and coffee berries were too unfamiliar to everyone, so after almost a month of research, the doctors and craftsmen only figured out a way to tap rubber.

This is because there are lacquer trees in Daxia. After cutting the bark of the lacquer tree, white juice will flow out. This juice is raw lacquer, which can be made into beautiful lacquerware.

However, lacquer trees and rubber trees are different after all, and the techniques for tapping lacquer and rubber are also different.

After a short period of research, the craftsmen found a method similar to that of later generations.

Jiang Er had the rubber collected, part of it given to the craftsmen for research, and the rest was taken back by the supply ship and delivered to Situ Yuan.

Situ Yuan's status was noble, so Xie Xiu did not dare to neglect him in the slightest, so he arranged a separate courtyard for him to live in.

Situ Yuan directly set up a small laboratory in the yard. Not only did he ask people to get all kinds of strange raw materials, he also discussed with Xie Xiu and planned to build a glass factory in Gusu.

Xie Xiu naturally wanted more than anything else for such a great thing.

Once a glass factory is built in Suzhou, workers will have to be recruited. Once the factory is built, a steady supply of glass and colored glaze will be produced.

When his glass and colored glaze sell well, he will be able to collect a lot of taxes.

So when Situ Yuan said he wanted to build a glass factory, Xie Xiu immediately picked out a good place for him.

With the land, all that remained was to recruit people to build the factory. Situ Yuan brought quite a few people with him this time, and with their help, construction of the factory started quickly.

Naturally, this matter attracted the attention of many wealthy local families, and they sent people to inquire about the news.

Although the workers did not know what kind of factory they were building, the wealthy families in Suzhou were not stupid.

When they heard it was Situ Yuan's factory, they guessed it was a glass factory.

So they were all excited and ran to the prefectural government office to hand in letters, asking to see Situ Yuan.

Situ Yuan naturally would not meet them, and left everything to his servant Lai Fu to deal with.

Lai Fu is smart and has experience in helping Situ Yuan manage the Beijing Glass Factory. Now he is familiar with handling these things.

In addition, Situ Yuan has a noble status, and the local tyrants in Gusu all want to get a piece of the pie from the glass factory. How dare they offend him?

Even though Lai Fu was just a servant of Situ Yuan, these people acted like lapdogs when they saw him, trying their best to please him.
