The vegetable vendor looked at the little guy's insistence. Her vegetables were pesticide-free, so eating a little raw was fine, but the child's stomach was weak. What if he got sick from eating them?

While she was still hesitating, she was horrified to see the little boy in the blue shirt break off a piece of vegetable and start nibbling on it little by little, like a little hamster.

Ya Ya carefully ate all the cabbage stalks, her face full of satisfaction. This cabbage tasted crisp, juicy, and a little sweet!

"Auntie, I want a thousand catties. Please include what I just ate in the calculation. I'm sorry, Auntie, I ate it without your permission."

A thousand catties should be enough to eat until the vegetables in the field grow, right?

The cabbage vendor looked at the tiny little girl in front of him, then glanced at her little cart. After waiting a while to make sure the little one didn't have any adverse reactions, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Little one, your cart can't hold that many cabbages!"

"Auntie, could you please deliver this to Huaya's shop on Red Leaf Second Street? Thank you so much. I can pay extra; you can scan my little watch." Ya Ya held up her hand, showing off her little watch.

Hongye Second Street is just one street away. How could she bear to charge such a well-behaved and sensible child a moving fee?

The shopkeeper waved his hand repeatedly, "No need to pay extra. Auntie will deliver it to you when she's done with her work. If you trust Auntie, you can go back first. Auntie is busy here and will probably have to wait a while."

Ya Ya nodded vigorously, "I trust you, Auntie. I'll pay first, thank you!"

……

Freezers, cell phones, lights, water heaters, streetlights, bathroom heaters...

Fang Tiesheng took a pencil and slowly wrote down all the electrical items he could think of in his notebook.

The streetlights were the same ones he had seen in that area; tall poles stood along the roadside, lighting up at night and illuminating the entire road as bright as day.

The village's defenses are currently weak and its ability to protect itself is insufficient, so streetlights are not needed for the time being. However, this must be taken into account, and the village will be equipped with them sooner or later.

electricity.

Fang Tiesheng drew a heavy circle around the character with his pen.

I put away my notebook, walked into the yard, and looked up at the night sky.

During heavy rainstorms, lightning and thunder strike the sky, and trees in the mountains are sometimes struck by lightning and charred black. In their minds, lightning and thunder are energies with immense power and destructive force.

Since that energy is named after electricity, it must be somewhat related to lightning.

Therefore, this thing can not only be used for lighting and boiling water, but it can also be used for destruction and attack.

The people in that region are able to utilize electricity in all aspects of their lives, so their methods of harnessing this energy must be very sophisticated.

Fang Tiesheng rubbed his slightly sore neck.

He had countless questions in his mind: How do the people over there farm? How do they extract the fertilizer they need and turn it into urea? And those cars that are speeding by, some of them belching smoke from behind, some of them connected by cables.

The wires should be powered by electricity, but what about the smoke?

Is it for burning firewood?

They possessed so many amazing iron farm tools and knives that, if placed in a village or even the entire dynasty, would be considered divine weapons, but in that region, they were merely ordinary household utensils.

Even a shovel can be used for chopping, hacking, sawing, and starting a fire.

What kind of weapons did they have?

How powerful is it?

Is it available for purchase?

It's a pity he only went once. If he could have gone more often, perhaps he could have gotten some basic answers to his questions.

Fang Tiesheng slowly paced back and forth.

If we can find more books, that would be great. I wonder if my daughter can find the bookstore on the other side. Every civilization needs written records and traditions.

If I can find a bookstore and buy some books...

Just as he was pondering this, a small blue figure appeared out of nowhere in the courtyard. "Grandpa Fang!"

Ya Ya called out to Grandpa Fang and skipped and hopped toward the back of the house.

"Hey! Nannan, where are you going? It's dark behind you, slow down!" Fang Tiesheng quickly followed, shining a flashlight.

"Is Nannan back?" Grandma Liu came out of the house upon hearing the voice.

"Grandma's back! I bought lots of cabbages and red sausages. I'll go put the cabbages in the cellar first!" Ya Ya turned around and stood there waiting for Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang to come over.

"I'll store them all in the cellar and give Aunt Chuntao a big surprise tomorrow!" Ya Ya said with a smile, looking up at her.

"Little rascal."

The group went down into the cellar. Ya Ya looked at the empty half of the cellar and waved her little hand. Suddenly, round, plump cabbages appeared and piled up in the empty space.

He then placed the small red sausages on the wooden shelf next to him and clapped his hands.

"So many cabbages?" Grandma Liu's eyes widened. There must be several hundred pounds of cabbages here.

"I bought a thousand catties! Oh, and this scale too." Ya Ya pulled out a large folded cube from her spatial storage.

"My aunt bought it for me, saying it can weigh up to 300 jin (150 kg)."

Ya Ya held the cube in both hands and carefully placed it on the ground, then straightened the folded rod.

Fang Tiesheng and Granny Liu looked at the object in front of them with curiosity. The square iron plate was placed flat on the ground. Its whole body had a cold and hard metallic texture. There was no lifting rope or weight of the usual steelyard balance. Only a black rod was erected on the front, with a silver plate inlaid on it.

On the left side of the panel is a small green box with numbers vaguely visible inside, while on the right are arranged white number buttons and several small orange buttons with text on them.

"Grandma, look!" Ya Ya said as she stood up. The numbers in the small green box jumped around and finally settled on 24.6.

Grandma Liu couldn't count, so Fang Tiesheng leaned closer and, looking at the small frame that glowed green when she stood on it, exclaimed in surprise, "Little girl, is this your weight?"

"Yes, I weigh 24.6 jin!" Ya Ya patted her little chest, then stepped off the platform and pushed Grandma Liu up, "Grandma, you can weigh yourself too."

Grandma Liu looked at the small green box with curiosity. After the numbers stopped, she asked somewhat nervously, "Darling, how much does Grandma weigh?"

"My mother-in-law weighs 77.2 jin (38.6 catties)!"

Fang Tiesheng rubbed his hands together. "Let me try too?"

"What are you testing? Granny Liu/Aunt Liu, what's that thing under your feet?" The village chief and Zhao Hu went down into the cellar after laying the last bucket of mortar.

"The scale that Nannan brought back can weigh 300 jin (150 catties), it's calculated according to the weight over there, we're weighing ourselves..."

Grandma Liu got off the scale.

Fang Tiesheng couldn't wait to stand up.

88.

A rare integer.

"Let me try." Zhao Hu pushed Fang Tiesheng down a step and stood on it, 126.

Ya Ya's eyes widened.

"Uncle Zhao, you weigh over 100 jin! That's 100 jin heavier than Ya Ya!"

Ya Ya glanced at the cabbages next to her. One hundred jin is nine cabbages. The difference between her and Uncle Zhao is nine cabbages!

The village chief wasn't particularly interested in the weight, so he went into the cellar, picked up a cabbage, and put it on the scale.

"Darling, how many cabbages did you buy?"

"Grandpa Village Chief, I bought a thousand catties! It's only six cents a catty!"
