YM778.TV Chapter 1557: Making Paste
“It’s best if we can find a carriage. We can stay here for three to four days before we go back. We can’t always travel by ox cart. An ox cart is much slower than a carriage. I can’t ride a horse because I’m pregnant.
“Otherwise, it would be faster to reach places. We’ll need to buy a few more carriages so the villagers can send them around Dianhe County to post and distribute missing person notices. We also need to buy the glue for the missing person notice. Glue might be hard to come by considering they are less advanced than us. It might be more expensive here.
“If we get glue directly in the apocalypse, there probably won’t be that much glue for us to use. In the apocalypse, they need glue for their things. Rebuilding their homes, building houses, and renovating require a lot of glue… Forget it, why not do it this way? Remember how farmers pasted couplets? They used to boil with flour and water to make a paste.
“Rice flour and water could also be used, but it was not as sticky as flour. As long as it was cooked into a paste using the right temperature it would work as glue. I can harvest the wheat in the space to make sure we have enough flour to use too.” Jiang Yue spoke.
Xue Yan nodded. He also felt that it would be cost-effective to directly use a paste made of flour and water to post the missing person notice, but he said, “This also requires hiring people to cook the paste. We still have to grind the wheat into flour. It’s easy to hire people to cook the paste.
“You can hire people to cook the paste from the place where you hired the people to post the missing person notice. When the time comes, each of them can carry a bucket in their hand. Once they have a carriage, they’ll be able to travel further distances.
“Actually, I didn’t plan to take out wheat from the space and let the people here help grind it into flour. That would limit our manpower too much. What if they’re not done grinding, but there’s already not enough paste? We have to go to other places in Da Chen to hire people to post missing person notices.
“We must also go to the capital of Da Chen. We can’t possibly ask the people of a certain place to help us grind flour, right? Or are we going to wait in Dianhe County until the people who help us grind the flour have enough flour before we go somewhere else?
“Everything just seems too troublesome and tiring.” Xue Yan spoke while shaking his head.
“That’s great,” Jiang Yue said. “We know we’ll come back to Da Chen again. So, while we’re here for these two days, we can prepare some things to put in the space. There are some bags of flour and rice. It’s just in case we encounter something here. We don’t even have grinding tools for them to use.
“We can’t eat rice and wheat directly, right? Plus, we will only be staying here for three to four days, so we should be in Dianhe County for at least a day. The bags of flour in the space should be enough to make the paste for posting missing person notices in Dianhe County.
“After three or four days here, we have to go back to Da Ling again. We will get flour directly from Da Ling. Da Ling has an abundant supply of food, and we don’t lack flour. Isn’t there a grain warehouse in Pingan Town that stores a lot of flour? That’ll be perfect for us. We’ll go to Darong’s house for dinner the next night after we go back from here. We’ll pass by the town.
“At that time, we’ll store a large amount of flour in the space in the town. Then, when we come here again, we can take out as much flour as we need to boil it into paste from the space. It’ll be convenient and we’ll save a lot of energy.”
