Chapter 78

They went home hand in hand, followed by a big goose.

Xiao Hanzheng slept during the day. He was not sleepy, so he lit an oil lamp and wrote a script.

Shi Qingluo sat opposite his desk and wrote the planning and development book of sugar workshop and paint workshop.

They wrote their own things quietly, but the dim light warmed them.

It was getting late. Shi Qingluo finished writing the plan and shouted to Xiao Hanzheng, "Lao Xiao, I'm sleepy."

Xiao Hanzheng finished writing this paragraph, put down his pen, looked up and said, "let's have a rest together."

After washing, they went to bed together.

Shi Qingluo touched the pillow, felt the breath of the people around him, and soon fell asleep.

Xiao Hanzheng reached out and stroked the broken hair scattered on her face, pointing her nose with his fingertips.

He smiled and closed his eyes soon.

There was a little daughter-in-law around tonight. Sure enough, he fell asleep soon.

No more insomnia like going out before, or taking medicine to help sleep.

The next morning, Shi Qingluo was awakened by heat.

I went to bed late last night. It was already dawn, and Xiao Hanzheng was not around.

Shi Qingluo got up and opened the door. He saw that Xiao Hanzheng was practicing martial arts. It was very eye-catching.

Xiao Hanzheng saw that his little daughter-in-law came out and didn't stop practicing martial arts. He said, "I've burned the washing water for you."

It's hot now. My daughter-in-law will wipe her body with water in the morning and take a bath in the evening.

He's almost the same, otherwise he'll sweat hard.

Shi Qing's smile was full, "brother Zheng, it's hard!"

Praise the young man who gets up early to boil water for his daughter-in-law.

She warmed herself with hot and cold water and wiped her body with a handkerchief. As expected, she was much more comfortable.

Nostalgia for modern air conditioners and fans.

Unfortunately, air conditioners can't be made. Fans can be made according to the gourd and gourd, but without electricity, they have to be shaken by hand.

If we can find a magnet, we can make a fan that can rotate spontaneously without electricity or hand shaking.

After she poured out the water, she took out "crossing the treasure book" in her room and looked at it.

Sure enough, I found a prescription for making ice with saltpeter on it.

If you can't use air conditioner and electric fan, just use normal ice basin to cool down.

Dignitaries also use ice pots to cool down, but because they have built ice caves and use the ice accumulated in winter, the price is also very high.

Shi Qingluo knew from his original memory that there was a nitrate mine on the mountain near the Taoist temple, and a lot of sulfur could be found not far away.

This is also the reason why Lao Dao built the Taoist temple in a small rural mountain in Nanxi County.

He wanted to use saltpeter, sulfur and other things to refine pills, but he didn't expect to blow himself up to heaven.

After breakfast, they went to the patriarch's house together.

He brought the specialty brought by Xiao Hanzheng from Fucheng and paid back the money he owed before.

And said to the patriarch that he wanted to buy two pieces of land.

The clan leader knew that they had the silver given by the Wu family in their hands. He was very happy to hear that Xiao Hanzheng made a lot of money by writing a script.

Just told Xiao Hanzheng to read more books. Don't delay the imperial examination because of writing scripts. Then he encouraged him.

And promised to go to the county with Xiao Hanzheng tomorrow and go through the formalities of buying these two pieces of land.

When they came out of the patriarch's house, they went to the family who owed money before and paid back all the money borrowed by Xiao's mother.

Xiao Hanzheng told these people before he left that he would pay back the money when he came back.

After all, it was borrowed by his mother. These days, he offset some with tofu. The rest of Xiao Hanzheng still wants to pay it back by himself.

I'm not polite to my daughter-in-law. I just think he should pay the money back.

Shi Qingluo doesn't care about these. Anyway, it's natural to owe money. The little prime minister wants to wait for him to pay it back, and she doesn't force it.

After paying back the money, Shi Qingluo pulled Xiao Hanzheng, "brother Zheng, let's go near the Taoist temple. I'm going to bring some saltpeter back."

Xiao Hanzheng asked curiously, "why move saltpeter?"

Shi Qingluo replied, "it's too hot. I want to get some saltpeter to make ice. Then put ice pots in our room and their mother's room to reduce the heat."

Xiao Hanzheng was stunned. "Can saltpeter make ice?"

Shi Qing nodded: "of course."

"OK, I'll go with you." Xiao Hanzheng is practicing martial arts every day now. His body has almost recovered and his physical strength has improved.

Carry some saltpeter back. It's not a big problem.

So they went home first, carried two baskets and went up the mountain together.

On the way, Shi Qing said, "I have collected the ashes of my master and those Taoist children. In two days, let's go to the county to invite a Feng Shui gentleman to help find a good place to build a tomb."

Xiao Hanzheng nodded, "OK."

The old Taoist priest helped his little daughter-in-law carry the pot. It's right to build a tomb and erect a monument for him.

"I'll go to the county tomorrow to find Mr. Feng Shui."

After finding the saltpeter mine, Shi Qingluo asked Xiao Xianggong to dig first, while she went to the backyard of the Taoist temple to water the corn and pepper.

After watering, Xiao Hanzheng came in with a basket of saltpeter on his back and a basket on his back.

I saw her hoe weeds after watering. "Are you growing vegetables?"

He always felt that she should not just grow vegetables.

After all, his family's land can also grow vegetables, but she didn't.

Shi Qingluo didn't hide it and winked at Xiao Hanzheng. "My master left some special seeds. I'll plant them. When they mature in the future, it may bring a big surprise, or a good seed from heaven."

What a good excuse for the old immortal master to show his spirit and give good corn seeds in the Taoist temple!

Anyway, even if the emperor sent someone to check, he couldn't find out anything unless he went underground to ask the old Taoist priest.

Taking out corn, which has a high yield and is not very selective for local food crops, she mainly hopes that after it is popularized in the future, more people can have enough to eat.

As for planting pepper, in addition to the many benefits of Interplanting with corn, the focus is Shi Qingluo's nostalgia for the taste of pepper.

Although she is not spicy in modern times, her daily meals are inseparable from pepper.

Just kill two birds with one stone. Just ask the old fairy master to show her spirit at the right time. She asked the little prime minister to offer corn seeds and pepper.

In this way, you can hang a number with the emperor and know that there is a young prime minister, which is more beneficial to the imperial examination in the future.

And it is also beneficial to the reputation of the people. Although it is the old immortal master who carries the pot, it is the seed they found, isn't it?

Second, you can grow your own seeds openly.

When Xiao Hanzheng saw her blink and heard the tone, he roughly guessed that she was going to prepare for something.

Although he didn't know what kind of seed and surprise it was, he felt that his little daughter-in-law would not disappoint people.

He didn't ask much, smiled and said, "then I'll wait and see. There's a surprise growing in the field."

"In fact, if your master wants to show his spirit, he might as well not build a tombstone. I think we can rebuild the main hall and set up a longevity card in the hall for him to offer his ashes."

"Not only can we often come to burn paper and incense, but other well-known people who want to burn paper and incense can also have no problem. They can keep burning incense all year round."

He added meaningfully, "maybe you can show your spirit every other time."

Shi Qing's eyes brightened when he heard this, "Lao Xiao, that's a good idea."

The big man is the big man. He is so clever and powerful!

This is really killing two birds with one stone.

Let the Taoist priest keep burning incense and get people's respect. She can also have no psychological burden and let the immortal master continue to carry the pot. Cough
