The Little Darling Wife Who is a Divine Doctor Saved the Entire Family of the Duke's Mansion

Chapter 200: Killing three birds with one Stone



Chapter 200

In addition to the glass, there was another item that caught He Zhiran's attention.

That thing looked a bit like plastic cloth from her previous life, but it seemed thicker than plastic cloth and its transparency was also much worse.

He Zhiran could determine that this was the most primitive form of plastic cloth.

Thinking of the seasons in the northwest, although the winters were not as cold as the north, there was still snowy weather. At that time, the land would still be frozen for a period of time, so that two crops a year could not be planted here.

In other words, the climate here was somewhat similar to North China in her previous life, very suitable for building greenhouses in winter.

With greenhouses, not only would they be able to eat green vegetables that they couldn't see in winter, but it could also serve as a cover for her to take food out of her space. If the scale of the greenhouses expanded, it could also create profits for her family.

It would serve several purposes at once.

There were also fabrics. They looked more delicate than the cotton cloth of the Da Shun Dynasty, especially the colors and patterns which were very special.

As for those grains, He Zhiran couldn't really muster any enthusiasm.

After all, her space had seeds for whatever crops she wanted.

It seemed that she really needed to purchase some items from Henry to help conceal her taking things out of her space.

Because Mo Jiuye had been in He Zhiran’s space, he was also not very interested in these things.

Their calm performance was completely beyond Henry's imagination.

Supposedly these things could not possibly exist in the Da Shun Dynasty. Why were they not attracted at all?

If they were interested, he could completely give some to them as a reward.

Just as Henry was distracted, He Zhiran spoke up.

"Henry, did you only bring these things to the Da Shun Dynasty?"

At this point, Henry was even more certain that his goods had not attracted the two.

In order to demonstrate the superiority of his country, Henry went to the corner of the warehouse and brought over a large box.

"The good stuff is all here. Let me show it to you now."

As he spoke, Henry had already carefully placed the large box on the ground. His delicate lifting showed that he clearly cherished the items in this box.

He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye stuck their heads together to look at the items in the box.

Inside the box, each item had an exquisite packaging box on the outside.

Henry first picked up the top one, opened the box, inside was a very ancient copper telescope.

This thing was not unfamiliar to either of them.

When Mo Jiuye was bored in the space, he would often pick it up and play with it.

Henry took the telescope out of the box and said proudly,

"This thing is a treasure of our country. I went through a lot of trouble to get one."

He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye simply nodded. Clearly, they were not very interested in the telescope.

Seeing this, Henry only thought they didn’t know the value.

Anyway, in his cognition, these two people simply could not afford such advanced things. If they didn’t want to look, then forget it.

He put the telescope back in the box and continued to showcase the treasures in the box.

What appeared in front of the two again were several palm-sized mirrors.

The mirrors were not the copper mirrors used by the people of the Da Shun Dynasty, but the glass mirrors that could be seen everywhere in later generations.

Looking at the workmanship on the back of the mirrors, they were all hand-crafted, and the carved patterns on them were also very characteristic of Western style.

Seeing that He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye still did not show any surprising reaction, Henry only thought they were dumbfounded. He continued to arrogantly display the other items.

This time, what he took out finally aroused He Zhiran's interest.

They were diamonds.

Diamonds more than a dozen times larger than a pigeon egg.

He Zhiran’s eyes instantly lit up.

Diamonds this big, if auctioned in later generations, would definitely be sky-high prices.

What was even more exciting was that there were dozens of such diamonds in that box.

In fact, He Zhiran did not know that diamonds were worthless in ancient times.

Because of the extreme hardness of diamonds, the forging technology at that time could hardly separate them, let alone crafting them into regular shapes to inlay into jewelry.

Henry brought so many diamonds over to exchange for some benefits by capitalizing on their aesthetic value.

Seeing that He Zhiran liked them, he very generously picked one up and placed it in her hand.

"I see you really like these diamonds, so I’ll give you one."

He Zhiran knew a little bit about the price of diamonds in ancient times.

Originated from the West, they were not worth much money because they were too hard.

It could be seen from Henry's performance that if this thing was invaluable, he would not have given it to her so readily.

Since this was the case, He Zhiran readily accepted it.

After thanking him, He Zhiran pointed at the box of diamonds and asked, "Henry, what price are you selling these diamonds for?"

Before coming to Da Shun, Henry had already consulted with his predecessors about the silver and copper coins here, so he was not unfamiliar with them.

Therefore, when He Zhiran asked about the price, he directly reported the selling price he had already planned.

He stretched out a hand towards He Zhiran: "Fifty taels, these diamonds for fifty taels."

"Good, I want all these diamonds." Upon hearing this price, He Zhiran didn't even bother bargaining.

This was too cheap...

Seeing her say this, Henry was clearly somewhat surprised.

After all, in his impression, fifty taels was an absolute fortune for ordinary people in Da Shun.

Moreover, no matter how he looked at it, He Zhiran did not look like a rich person.

Considering that she helped him this huge favor, Henry sincerely did not want her to go bankrupt because of these diamonds.

"He Zhiran, if you really like these things, I'll give you another one."

He Zhiran did not know Henry's thoughts.

“What? Are you selective about who you sell your goods to?"

Henry was clearly very embarrassed and kept waving his hands. "No no no, it's not like that. I was thinking this stuff is a bit expensive..."

He Zhiran finally understood Henry's meaning at this point.

She chuckled and said, "Henry, don't worry about me, I don't lack silver."

Henry could see that He Zhiran did not mean to bluff when she spoke.

"Since that's the case, these diamonds are all yours."

As he spoke, he had already placed the box in He Zhiran's hands.

He Zhiran did not pay the silver immediately. She guessed that Henry probably would not want silver notes. Fifty taels was a large pile of silver. If she took it out to give to him with no packages on her body, she would definitely be questioned.

"The silver is on our boat. I'll bring it to you when we go ashore later."

Henry readily agreed, then continued to showcase the other treasures.

The things he took out later were still very attractive to He Zhiran.

Rubies, emeralds, sapphires, and crystal clear amethysts. In short, the quantity of each gemstone was considerable.

In the eyes of Westerners at this time, these colorful gemstones were much more valuable than diamonds.
