Episode 750
Time for a short break.
Jin Cheon-hee brought the dishes she had prepared in advance.
Cooking is not something that needs to be done in a grand manner. Food that will temporarily relieve fatigue between work.
It is also a food that is difficult to eat here.
It’s ice cream!
‘okay. When I was young, I would have died with just one of these.’
I don’t think the people here are any different.
‘Especially in hot regions, this is a cheat.’
Surprisingly, people’s lives are all the same.
“Okay, everyone, eat some and rest!”
Jin Cheon-hee came out with a large container full of ice cream. Then he called the people together and had them put it in a bowl and share it.
People stood in line to get ice cream, but they didn’t seem to know what they were doing.
“What is this?”
“It’s cool…is it cool? no. “Are you cold?”
People are buzzing. And then people start taking a bite at a time.
“This… it tastes like this!?”
“Soft and sweet! Wow… it’s so cold!”
“Wow, just putting it on your tongue and rolling it around tastes sweet.”
Will people who live in the desert ever see snow?
On Earth, when you open the refrigerator, ice comes out, but in those days, people living near the equator would never see ice until they died.
At least there are shamans who can control cold, and only high-ranking nobles or royals who practice such shamans have the privilege of drinking cold water with an ice cube!
A world where ice is money and power.
however.
Here and now.
‘Ice cream’ came to them for the first time in their lives.
Ice cream is truly delicious in the desert area.
A pure white snow field spread out behind everyone’s heads, and the fantasy of rolling around on it and eating snow seemed to pass by.
Even though they say they can force you to do it by taking full authority, isn’t that the end of this matter?
Jin Cheon-hee was also calculating what happened next.
First of all, there must be an independent sales route.
If we develop this processing technology here, we will be able to make decent glasses.
They also import it and sell it.
It is said that Kang Ho-in’s eyesight will become as good as that of an eagle if he strengthens his eyes with internal energy, but doesn’t ordinary civil servants gradually develop presbyopia as they get older?
Originally, we came here to import natron soda from the natron mine, but if we develop another product, the more the better!
So, naturally, the likes of these people are important.
Jin Cheon-hee added honey and nuts to ice cream made from buffalo milk.
“Ooh, give me some more!”
“Give me more first!”
“These people. You have to stand in line. “It’s not some kind of kid!”
Jin Cheon-hee laughed and gave ice cream to all the craftsmen one by one.
‘After all, if you want to become friends, you have to put something in your mouth.’
This is a lesson learned in Korea.
Humans and beasts never become friends with bare mouths.
All friendships require a certain level of sincerity.
“Ahhh, it’s cool.”
The craftsmen press their eyebrows as if they are tingling and make an expression as if they have reached paradise.
Jin Cheon-hee also takes a bite.
‘Well, the taste of regular milk and buffalo milk is definitely different.’
Should I say it’s a little darker?
It is so rich that it feels closer to cheese than milk. Depending on the person, you may feel a milky smell.
However, if you process it in the Jincheonhui style, the fishy smell will decrease and the sweetness will increase, making it taste similar to powdered milk, which is a delicacy.
‘The powdered milk was so delicious that there were people who ate it.’
Same goes for the people here.
Rich buffalo ice cream is extremely popular with artisans.
They only change the toppings on top from time to time, and that alone is enough to keep you waiting.
‘After hard work, make sure to feed them something delicious.’
There is no reward as immediate as food.
That was the way Jin Cheon-hee raised her children even when she was on Earth.
After snack time passed.
“Okay then, let’s try it again.”
The shamans and artisans shook their hands and stood up.
Suddenly, one of the shamans asked.
“Is it okay to offer this to the spirits?”
“Ice cream? What is it? do.”
Is it similar to the ancestral rites on Earth?
Jin Cheon-hee didn’t think it was that big of a deal. From that day on, the artisans offered a bowl of ice cream to the spirits.
From that point on, things started going well without me knowing why.
* * *
As many as ten large magnifying glasses were completed.
“It went better than expected. “I had no idea that I would be able to create such a smooth and transparent magnifying glass.”
“It’s bigger than that.”
“I see. “It’s very big.”
At best, it is not enough to burn a piece of paper.
As noon approached, Jin Tianxi set up a large magnifying glass and placed a huge pot filled with water underneath.
It is a huge pot made for ancestral rites.
It is a cauldron so large that three cows can fit into it.
Sunlight began to shine into the cauldron.
The desert sun is hot.
It’s not just hot, it’s hot without any basis.
The solar heat was collected into a fairly large area by a large magnifying glass.
This is because Jin Cheon-hee knew very well that if the angle is adjusted and the sunlight is concentrated at the pole, it will generate enough power to melt the pot rather than heat it.
Solar energy collected at the appropriate angle and area.
As a result.
Soon the water began to react.
‘Oh, as expected, air bubbles are rising.’
Bubbly, bubbling.
The craftsmen were astonished when they saw this.
“The water is boiling… The glass I made is capable of boiling water!”
“afraid. “I’m afraid of my talent!”
“Spirit! “Ugh, now I’m a shaman who controls the sun.”
It was like that. Artisan shamans had a slightly different sensibility from ordinary people due to the combination of the characteristics of artisans and shamans.
They were now amazed at their talent for manipulating the sun and praised themselves for once.
Eventually they said.
“Wow, you recognized our talent. Incinerator, you have great insight.”
“no. I didn’t make it with confidence, but I benefited from the craftsmen’s skills. “I didn’t know it would turn out this well.”
Take a look. Aristotle.
Although we couldn’t burn the boat, we were still able to boil the water well.
It was nothing special that Jin Cheon-hee came up with a large magnifying glass.
If you look on YouTube, there is also a documentary about a furnace that melts iron using solar concentrating technology!
I have also seen it used for research on appropriate technologies such as seawater distillation.
So what I tried.
I thought it could be used in this world.
You can do anything with this, including boiling water. I even thought that if I studied it well, I might be able to run a steam engine with this.
‘Still, with this level of firepower, we can stop dysentery.’
It is dry season now.
This is the time when rainy days are few and far between, and the oasis spring feeds everyone.
There is no need to worry about the weather being cloudy.
* * *
Ten giant cauldrons are also under the giant magnifying glass.
Water boiled in the huge pot is distributed to the people.
People had to wait in long lines to receive water, but they were amazed and amazed at the amazing sight.
“I heard the saint is a shaman who made a contract with the spirit of the sun?”
People in line are talking in groups.
“I heard they steal the sun’s light by sharing their power with the shamans?”
In a region where the illiteracy rate is 90%, it is not easy to convey information clearly.
Wannong is still a wealthy kingdom, but Damjin is not that rich.
It is a country with great potential, with advanced glassmaking technology and soda mines and lakes, but the royal family monopolizes all of this, and there are many religious cults.
Instead of officials dispatched by the king, the king’s relatives occupy one position in the village, like a local province, and even those who are not rebels are left alone.
“They say that if you drink that water boiled with the power of the sun, you won’t get sick.”
“It’s the power of the sun god, after all. “They say that bathing and washing with that water every day is also effective and prevents you from getting sick.”
Even though the water is only hygienic because it is sterilized, it is being perceived as holy water from the God of the Sun!
“I heard you can’t use it during the rainy season?”
“How could you possibly use boiling water so easily?”
Then, the shaman craftsmen who are directly listening to people’s conversations are straining their necks.
He seems proud of his achievements.
“I heard it’s hard to do alone and that martial arts needs to be done together?”
“So, shouldn’t we make at least one more thing when the saint is here?”
People gathered together to welcome the new object.
Meanwhile.
It could not be helped that the following of the blind white saint began to increase.
This was because the rumors that Jin Cheon-hee had been pretending to be blind were mixed up.
Why is it called white?
This is because the clothes Jin Cheon-hee wore while pretending to be blind were white.
It’s been a few days since they started rationing water as rumors about Jin Cheon-hee spread.
A change has occurred.
The number of people dying from diarrhea gradually began to decrease.
Now that clean drinking water has been created, the next step is food.
Sweet potato-like fruits eaten in this area were mashed, made into porridge, and supplied to dysentery patients.
Once the drinking water problem was solved in a place where firewood was a resource, the next step was a breeze.
“Oh, saint! “Blind white saint!”
A few people pay respect to Jin Cheon-hee in front of the intersection.
Jin Cheon-hee forced those people to stand up.
The entire village began to fill with praise for the saint, but for some reason, the saint’s face hardly straightened.
* * *
Shoot.
Purified water pours into the oasis.
Perhaps because it was a bit boring to just build something plain, the craftsmen carved a head that could be either a lizard or a dragon, and water was pouring from the head.
That is spectacular. Because water is pouring like a waterfall.
Rooftop of a building equipped with a water gate opening and closing device built near the water purification plant’s drainage system.
Standing there, Jin Cheon-hee is looking at the drainage system that she built with the help of tens of thousands of people over the course of a month.
“After all, it is best to change manpower indefinitely…”
Jin Cheon-hee shakes his head while making a scary sound.
If you turn your gaze towards the street, you will see a few people shouting ‘Thank the White Saint!’
‘Honestly, I wish it would stop.’
I am not happy to be worshiped in a town where religious human sacrifice is possible.
Even though I am thankful now, I wish my saint could climb up on that firewood and burn brightly later. Who knows, you may be thinking, ‘Then it will be more effective.’
After all, humans are variable beings.
Even if we have good intentions today, we don’t know what tomorrow will be like.
“I understand why the Fire Empire is so loyal.”
As Jin Cheon-hee thinks about this and that, she hears Prince Ladan’s voice.
I turned my head and saw the prince, who had turned into a night-timer again today, came up to the rooftop and walked towards Jin Cheon-hee.
Jin Cheon-hee glances at the bruise that looks exactly like her fist, then looks away again.
“what do you mean?”
“The emperor of the Hua Empire has sent several personal letters asking about Xin Xi’s well-being.”
“Don’t they usually do this to Shinigami?”
“I never do that. “If I die on the way back, I was wondering whether I should use this as an excuse to start a war or get something to kill.”
It’s like gold & silver.
These guys are like this, so it’s nothing new.
“Since I’m putting off the governor’s work, I’m sure they’ll make a fuss to exploit me again.”
“I understand. “You’re really good at your job.”
The prince had a taste of administration.
And that too, the taste of a creative bureaucrat who works with integrity and blames himself.
