Chapter 53 Departure Tomorrow
Chapter 53 Set off tomorrow
The remaining daily necessities, such as small things like combs and mirrors, are placed in bags hanging on the side.
The most important thing is water. Jin Yan made seven or eight water storage barrels, all made of old bamboo. Each one can hold two bottles of mineral water.
The water was boiled and packed in advance. She did not dare to drink raw water from outside. She had to ask Jin Jiaojiao to filter the water and boil it thoroughly before drinking it.
The water is also placed in a separate cabinet. Since the cabinets on both sides are filled with bottles and cans, it is easy for the carriage to bump into each other when it is moving.
Therefore, a guardrail was specially made. Beyond the guardrail is the cabinet door. The cabinet door has a specially made recessed handle, which protrudes easily and easily hits people. It also leaves space for bolting the door, which can be said to be very safe.
The two of them thought about it one by one. The storage function of this carriage is really great. With so many things in it, they always feel like they can’t fit it in. But when they go in to pack it up, they can still stuff it in.
"Sister Ayan, how come our carriage can hold things so well? I think the cabinets on both sides can still hold it!" Jin Jiaojiao went in and out several times, taking inventory all the time.
All these things were stuffed into the cabinet, which only took up a little space outside. There were also some animal skin clothes and the like, stacked on top of the trunk. It was really incredible.
"Although the cabinet can store things, the moving space in the carriage has still become crowded." She went in and tried it. The moving space was indeed small, and she couldn't even fully expand her arms.
The length is enough for one person to lie down on it, and it could be a little bigger if the trunk didn't take up a bit of space.
However, they are not that big or tall, so they can lie down together.
Jin Yan asked Zhaocai to try to pull it again. It said it was easy to pull, and he immediately felt that he could buy something more.
The fortune-teller also found it incredible. This carriage looked quite big, even larger than an ordinary carriage. The two owners moved in and out and moved so many things in, but it actually thought it was fine!
Jin Yan touched her chin and nodded with satisfaction. It was indeed something she had used her brain to create.
She had calculated that a normal donkey cart could pull about a thousand kilograms, not to mention Lucky Horse, which was so tall and strong.
All the things in her carriage, if they can be packed in bags, don't need to be packed in storage boxes, and if they can be packed in storage boxes, they won't be packed in bamboo tubes.
The bamboo tubes are all old bamboo, dried in the sun, and carefully processed by her. The thickness of the bamboo is the thinnest and the volume is the largest. It is important to hold lard and water.
Even in this carriage, she has replaced everything that can be replaced. Without reducing the loss and sturdiness, she does not need those bulky ones in all places. She can be as light as possible. How can this not be lightweight?
The weight of the entire carriage is only a few hundred kilograms, so it is normal to feel relaxed about attracting wealth.
Moreover, the two of them are extremely talented in storing items, and Jin Yan designed the space just right, without wasting any space.
Even with so many additional cabinets, there is still a lot of room for movement in the carriage.
"We still need a table and a stool. This can be put in the trunk after this is done, but there is still a little space inside the carriage. Let's prepare a few more things. You can see what else we need to bring, especially food.
There must be more and no less water.”
"Okay, sister Ayan!"
Jin Yan quickly made two or three more water storage buckets and filled them with ten bamboo buckets. Each bucket could hold about two kilograms of water, so they had a reserve of twenty kilograms of water at a time.
In addition to the water bladders she bought in the town before, each water bladder can hold almost a pound of water. She bought ten of them at the time, and the water bladders were placed outside for their convenience.
I made a few more lunch boxes. If I want to make some hot food on a whim in the future, I will always put them away. This wooden one can also be steamed in water, which is very convenient.
And she also made so much sauced pork and braised pork that she had to pack it up and take it away.
When you leave, roast a few beggar's chickens and take them with you, and then cook some fish soup, which will help you get through the first few days.
Adding a foldable table and two flat stools, the trunk space is actually very large, but you should leave more than half of the space for fodder, which can bring wealth.
So there isn't much space left to put things in. There's basically no space left to put bacon, salted fish, etc. in there.
She packed the potatoes, yams, etc. in the cave into bags and put them in the trunk, including the seeds she had saved before.
The trunk is actually divided into two spaces. Although it is integrated with the trunk inside the carriage, there is a wooden board in the middle.
The trunk inside the carriage is filled with rice and noodles. This trunk is the cabinet with the largest capacity. It can be said that so much food would not be able to be accommodated if it were not for this.
The exposed part is basically used to store sundries, but the flavor of their bacon and salted fish is really not bland, so they are stuffed here.
Jin Jiaojiao has always wanted to help, but Jin Yan has been busy with big things, so she can only do things to the best of her ability.
Knowing that there was still room in the carriage, she quickly went to boil water in a pot and boiled a few kilograms of salt.
Thinking that everything was put in the cabinet, the remaining movable space in the carriage didn't take up much at all, so it couldn't help but feel a little empty.
Sister Ayan works so hard every day, so she has to come in to rest. She can't sit on this hard wooden board.
Moreover, in the whole carriage, only the trunk can accommodate people, which makes life very inconvenient.
She thought for a moment and then turned her attention to the two futons in the cave. The futons were quite clean and very practical. They could also be used as cushions in the carriage.
The little girl has been busy optimizing the living capabilities in the carriage.
Jin Yan was done and came in to sit for a while. Suddenly he touched the straw mat on the bed and suddenly thought of Jiang Yan.
She was in a trance for a moment and didn't know how Jiang Yan was doing now. He was a prince. Now that he was back in the capital, he was probably living a prosperous life, right?
She patted her face, thinking about what to do, but she was already being targeted by the prince, and even Jiang Yan couldn't protect herself.
This can be regarded as her first piece of furniture in this cave, so take it with you.
Soon enough, after Jin Yan went out, he lifted off the roof of the carriage and added an extra layer inside. The height of the carriage was lowered, but one more mat could be placed on top.
It's getting dark after these days. Jin Jiaojiao has been making salt in the cave. They will prepare to set off tomorrow. Now they can get as much as they can.
Jin Yan also went out to catch some pheasants and fish. When he came back, he cooked beggar's chicken and a pot of fish soup.
After fiddling with it, she finally remembered that there were quite a lot of ironware in the house, and it would be a pity to throw them away. She must take them with her.
She had quite a few of her own iron picks, kitchen knives, scissors and embroidery needles, plus the two iron chains that Jin Jiaojiao later took away. They were fine iron and very heavy.
The fine iron needs to be refined, and the scissors and embroidery needles that I made can also be refined. The scissors and embroidery needles have been shipped to Xuefu, and they are far more refined than the ones I made.
So there was a lot of iron collected, so she immediately decided to make an iron pot and a kettle, which would be used on the road in the future.
Chapter completed!
