However, she was quickly attracted to the topic of the two. It turned out that Aunt Cao's house had planted five or six toon trees, and these days were a good time to break toon buds.

Aunt Cao came to the door today, firstly, to visit her nephews and nephews, and secondly, to find helpers. After all, the solar term waits for no one, and if you miss the toon buds that are picked again in the past three or five days, you will be old, and you can't do anything else except sprinkle salted pickles.

Old man Cao only has this one sister, and he takes good care of her on weekdays, so when he heard this, he directly instructed Dong Rong, "Sister Rong, our family's work in the fields is almost busy, and it just so happens that you and Zhuzi should also return to the door tomorrow, and then stay at your aunt's house for one night to help you help." ”

Although Dong Rong had only been married into the Cao family for two days, she also saw that this father-in-law was a good man with a simple and responsible attitude, so he treated him with three points more respect than Mrs. Cao, and naturally responded respectfully when he heard this.

Aunt Cao was very happy to find a helper, and promised with a smile, "If this year's toon can be sold for a good price, Aunt will make you a new set of clothes at that time." ”

Dong Rong smiled and said coquettishly, "Then I look forward to my aunt getting rich every year, and I also have new clothes to wear every year." ”

Everyone loves to hear good words, and Aunt Cao and Old Man Cao both laughed. Old man Cao instructed his sister-in-law, "When you go into the city to sell toons, remember to go to the north of the city more, I heard that the old man of the Qian family likes to eat toons the most, if you really meet his housekeeper to come out to buy, but it is a good deal." ”

Aunt Cao nodded, "I also know this, I heard that last year, Qian Fu bought three loads of toons and put them in the ice cellar to store, but I never thought that the toon buds would be as black as carbon heads in a few days, and Master Qian made a lot of fire for this." ”

"Yes, it seems that this old man really likes to eat toon. That ice cube is so expensive, what is not good to store, to save this worthless wild thing. Old man Cao sighed a few words, and remembered that his daughter-in-law would return to the door tomorrow and said, "Sister Rong, I will go back tomorrow to see your father, remember to say hello for me, so that your father can often come to the house to sit when he is free." ”

Originally, Dong Rong should immediately salute and thank her when she heard this, after all, her husband's family took the initiative to show favor so much, which was enough to see that her daughter-in-law was very important here. But she couldn't care about anything at this moment, and her mind was spinning wildly like a motor with several kilowatts installed, and she couldn't stop.

Although this body did not leave her much memory, she still knew something about the origin of this Great Qi Kingdom. It seems that after the Three Kingdoms, history has branched out into a "fork in the road", and this strange and familiar world has appeared. Of course, the Tang Dynasty man who invented the summer ice-making method in his previous life did not exist. Therefore, in today's Great Qi Kingdom, only a few wealthy households build ice cellars for storage in winter, and only ice cubes cool down in summer. And because this ice cube is not easy to preserve, you can't use as much as you want, so it's really precious.

In this way, can she take advantage of a loophole and make a small fortune first?

I remember that when my parents were still alive, because my family lived in the countryside and the family background was average, it was really difficult to enjoy electrical appliances such as refrigerators. However, her father saw the method of making ice from saltpeter somewhere, and soon learned to use it. When someone else's home is as hot as a steamer, theirs is always cool and pleasant.

Her mother even used to mash the fruit juice and freeze it into ice cubes to cool off the heat of her siblings, so much so that at that time they were definitely playing a pivotal role among the children in the neighborhood. If anyone offends them, don't even think about munching on delicious ice cubes.

Later, her parents even built a Xiaoice cellar to store the vegetables and fruits produced by the family, and often went into the city to sell them in late autumn and early winter, and got extra money to get new clothes and stationery for their siblings.

It can be said that the word "ice" occupied a very important place in her childhood. Of course, in the future, it may become the most stable cornerstone of her money-making business in this time and space!

The more Dong Rong thought about it, the more excited she became, and she couldn't wait to run into the city immediately to buy saltpeter and come back to try to make ice cubes, but when she looked up and saw Old Man Cao's slightly dark face, she suddenly realized that the time was not right, so she hurriedly gathered her heart and thanked her.

Aunt Cao loves Dong Rong very much, so naturally she won't look at her to make her father angry, so she hurriedly diverted the conversation and asked about the condition of her little niece Second Sister Cao, "How has the second sister been in recent days, but she doesn't have the strength in her body yet?" I inquired about a home remedy some time ago, and it is said to be very effective in treating cough diseases. The day after tomorrow, let the pillar bring the recipe back together, grab a few pieces of medicine and eat it. ”

Speaking of the little daughter who is well-behaved and sensible but has always been in poor health, Old Man Cao also sighed, got up and took his sister to visit the West Wing. Dong Rong took the opportunity to hurry back to the east chamber, but as soon as she entered the door, she saw Silly Zhu'er lying on the big kang sleeping soundly. After thinking about it, she stepped forward to wake him up, and asked with a smile, "Zhuzi, you have been yelling that I am your daughter-in-law all day long, so should you also listen to me?" Do you have any money in your hand, and I will keep it for you, okay? ”

Silly Zhu Xu was angry that Dong Rong disturbed his good dreams, rolled up the quilt and wrapped himself in a cicada chrysalis, and honestly hid in it and refused to respond. Dong Rong couldn't, so she had to continue to curry favor, "My pillar hasn't woken up yet, I'm really sorry, I will definitely not disturb your sleep in the future or rob you of sweet potatoes to eat, okay?" Tell me first, do you have any money? ”

Silly Zhu'er still refused to believe Dong Rong, and muttered in a low voice, "No, no!" But when he said this, his eyes hidden in the corners of the quilt unconsciously secretly aimed at the small clay pot in the corner.
