The more Feng Lao listened, his eyes widened, and finally he sighed, "This girl is really curious and ingenious, that saltpeter is mostly used to make nitrate fur, but I didn't expect that it can also make ice!" If this method spreads, wouldn't everyone be able to use ice cubes in the summer? ”

"This way... Naturally, it can't be passed on. The stupid pillar slapped his palm on the ice basin, and the ice surface instantly cracked into a spider's web. He picked up a piece of ice chips and slowly put it in his mouth, the penetrating coolness made his eyes darker, "The summer heat came early this year, this is a really good deal!" ”

Elder Feng understood, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Are you planning to rob your daughter-in-law of her wealth?" If she knows, I'm afraid I'm going to have no contact with you. ”

Silly Zhu ignored Mr.'s jokes, and pondered for a moment before responding, "This Qingxian is enough for her to open up, and it's a pity that more than a dozen cities in the south are empty." It is better to let someone pass the recipe to Zhang Qi, and ask him to do his best, and all the silver he earns will buy grain and send it to Xiaoyi Garden. This year's drought will start, and there will be countless displaced people in the autumn, and if she can live a few more lives at that time, she will also have a merit. ”

Elder Feng nodded and praised, "Huaide has a benevolent heart, and he will definitely be blessed in the future. ”

Silly Zhu's face darkened, and he laughed at himself lightly, "It's just that others say this, why is Mr. so ridiculous?" I'm just trying to pick and choose more people from among the refugees. ”

Feng Lao sighed secretly, he was very helpless about the different hearts of the proud disciples, if it was just for the selection of people, the filial piety gardens opened in several cities in the south only accepted teenagers, why should there be so many widowed mothers and young children.

"That's it, this business must be prosperous, and then I will compensate the Dong family more."

"That's natural," Silly Zhu nodded, and said with a straight face, "I'll arrange for someone to ensure that her business in Qingxian is all in order, and I also want to see if she has any weird ideas in the future." ”

Feng Lao also looked forward to it, and said with a smile, "Maybe, you really married an amazing daughter-in-law." ”

The master and apprentice both laughed, and the warm spring breeze passed by the small courtyard, inadvertently sending the laughter far away.

In the east compartment of the Cao family, Dong Rong, who was fiddling with the silver bill, suddenly sneezed twice, she shook her head in confusion, and complained, "I think about it, scold and scold me, who is scolding me?" ”

Coincidentally, Mrs. Cao came to her window after lunch and shouted, "Sister Rong, what are you hiding in the house, hurry up and pick up the table!" I know that I wander around all day, and I still have to do the work at home! ”

Dong Rong rolled her eyes and replied loudly, "Got it, mother, I'll go out!" ”

Mrs. Cao was still waiting for her daughter-in-law to resist, so she took the opportunity to scold and be angry, and she didn't want her daughter-in-law to be so obedient, so she choked her chest for a while. So, I had to snort angrily and shook my hand and went out to find someone to gossip.

Dong Rong picked up the dishes and chopsticks into a large basin, picked up two dirty clothes and pants of the stupid pillar and put them under her armpits, and then went straight to the small river behind the village to wash them. The river water is very clear because it is formed by the clear spring on the mountain, and many big girls and little daughters-in-law in the village often gather here to wash and gossip.

Dong Rong had just married in the village for a few days, and everyone was naturally very curious, and when they saw her coming, they all had the intention to talk, so the parents talked about it for a short time, but they became acquainted with her in a moment.

Dong Rong was thinking about how to get Mrs. Cao to agree to go to the city again to buy things, and her expression inevitably brought three points of sorrow.

The sister-in-law of the Liu family, who lives in the west courtyard of the Cao family, is very kind-hearted, thinking that Mrs. Cao is usually a person, she mistakenly thinks that Dong Rong has been treated harshly by her mother-in-law, so she wants to help her, so she smiled and invited, "Sister Rong, it will be Qingming in a few days, and every family in the city will use requiem grass to worship their ancestors, I want to go up the mountain tomorrow to pick some, and when the time comes, it will be dried and let the child and his father send it to the city for a few pennies to add some oil and salt to the family." If you have time, why don't you come with me?" ”

It's a real bonus, and there's nothing more satisfying than someone giving you a pillow when you're sleepy. Dong Rong's eyes rolled, thinking that if this matter was well planned, there would be an excuse to enter the city in the next few days. Thinking of this, she pretended to hesitate and said, "I want to go up the mountain with my sister-in-law, but my mother-in-law is..."

Sister-in-law Liu patted her chest very boldly, and responded, "Don't worry, I'll help you with Aunt Cao." Besides, when the time comes, you will get money from selling grass, and if you don't go up the mountain, Aunt Cao is afraid that she will have to chase you. ”

The rest of the people remembered that Mrs. Cao's stingy appearance of plucking geese on weekdays all smiled knowingly, Dong Rong half-lowered her head and thanked Sister-in-law Liu, such a little red appearance made Sister-in-law Liu feel pity in her heart, and she made up her mind to temporarily save Dong Rong, the little sheep, from the old wolf of Mrs. Cao.

After dinner, Sister-in-law Liu really came to sit down, and when she said that she wanted to take Dong Rong up the mountain to pick calming herbs, Mrs. Cao was unexpectedly resolutely opposed. Sister-in-law Liu was not annoyed, and said with a smile how much money she got from selling requiem grass last year and what she had added, Mrs. Cao's eyes became brighter and brighter when she heard it, and finally almost begged Sister-in-law Liu to take Dong Rong up the mountain.

In the end, Dong Rong personally sent the proud sister-in-law Liu out of the house, and praised her fiercely, causing the sister-in-law Liu to almost float home all the way.
