Go into the house to rest, your eldest sister has been outside for a long time, and now she must be tired. Zhao Guixiang glared at Shen Lian, and then also picked up the big bamboo slices and began to help Shen Mei chop the small pieces with a contempt knife.

"Eldest sister, you better go back to the house, or you will die of heartache if you don't wait for your mother." Shen Lian muttered.

Shen Lan glanced at Shen Lian with some amusement, then nodded and said, "Otherwise, I'll go and boil some boiling water for you to drink, even if you don't drink it now, it will be delicious when it gets cold later." ”

Zhao Guixiang was about to say something, but was stopped by Shen Xiaoquan with a look, but said by himself: "Well, Lan Niang will go boil some water, and I will ask Hailing to move a chair for you to sit on, you can watch how we do it, and you can learn it after all." ”

"Okay, Daddy." Shen Lan happily answered, and then slowly walked towards the house.

When Shen Lan walked into the room, Zhao Guixiang spoke: "Old man, it's not that you don't know that your daughter is still sick, so you instructed her to do things. ”

Shen Xiaoquan glared at her when he heard this, and then he spoke: "Although Lan Niang has no memory, but you always don't let her interfere with anything, she can't be awkward in her heart, and besides, my craft has already been passed on to a few children, and now Lan Niang has forgotten about the disaster, she still has to let her pick it up, and she can't live at home for a few days, and when her father-in-law comes to pick her up, she will always go back, I just take advantage of these few days to teach her again, she also has a craft to settle down, and she can live by herself no matter what, isn't it?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Guixiang was silent, and when Shen Xiaoquan came back yesterday, he told her the result of the discussion with Shen Yunting, saying that if the Song family sent someone to pick it up, it would still be necessary to let Shen Lan go back first, and as for the matter of separating the family, it should be considered in the long run, not something that can be done in one or two days, and it will always be necessary to find the fault of the Song family in order to hit it with one blow.

Listening to the meaning of Shen Xiaoquan's words, it is to send Shen Lan back first, if something bad happens again, they will have a legitimate reason to come forward as their mother's family, and at that time, they will be famous for mentioning the separation of the family.

As long as she thought of sending her daughter to the Song family again, and let the Song family rub it, she felt sour in her heart, and couldn't help but want to be kind to Lan Niang, at least let Lan Niang not be angry at home.

Seeing that Zhao Guixiang's eyes were red, Shen Xiaoquan immediately sank his face and shouted in a low voice: "It's not for Lan Niang's good to do this, what do you want to do with those who don't, a few of you have also closed your mouths, don't let your eldest sister be stimulated again, you know?" ”

Several children nodded yes one by one, so when Shen Lan boiled the water and came out, although everyone was a little depressed, they couldn't say anything wrong, and Shen Lan simply didn't go to the bottom of it.

"Okay, I've been busy for a long time, so come over and drink some water." Shen Lan greeted with a smile.

"Okay, you have poured the water, we have finished our work, we will go and drink the water, and you can sit and rest for a while." Zhao Guixiang smiled reluctantly.

"Okay, I'll let you cool down for a while, or you won't get burned." Shen Lan turned around and sat on the back chair that Shen Hailing moved out when she boiled water, and then carefully watched everyone work.

Shen Hailing finished the work in his hand first, walked to the place where the tea was placed, took a bowl of water and took a sip, but as soon as he drank it in his mouth, he frowned.

"Eldest sister, why do you add salt to the water?" Shen Hailing shouted.

"Huh?" Shen Lan made a surprised look, and then said inexplicably: "I didn't put salt, I don't know where to put salt, how can I put salt." ”

"Then why is the water salty?" Shen Hailing cautiously tasted it again, and spoke with great certainty.

"Did you drink the wrong thing?" Shen Lian also ran over, took the bowl in Shen Hailing's hand, tasted it carefully, and then frowned and said, "Sister, it's really salty, something strange happened today, the porridge is salty, and the water is salty." ”

Hearing this, Shen Xiaoquan and Zhao Guixiang also took the bowl and tasted the water, and then the brows of the two of them wrinkled, it seemed that there was a problem with the water, so the porridge in the morning would be salty.

"Old man, you picked up the water in the morning, right?" Zhao Guixiang asked.

Shen Xiaoquan nodded, and then spoke: "It's the well where we usually draught." ”

"Otherwise, you can go and carry the water back again." Zhao Guixiang said.

Shen Xiaoquan nodded, then dropped the work in his hand, turned around and entered the house, and after a while, he picked up a bucket and came out, and then walked towards the mountain spring well behind the village.

At this time, Shen Lan was a little uneasy in her heart, and she didn't know if her trick would work.

After about ten minutes, Shen Xiaoquan came back with a load of water, put down the bucket as soon as he arrived at the door, and then said to Shen Hailing: "Bring a bowl." ”

Shen Hailing immediately brought a bowl to Shen Xiaoquan, Shen Xiaoquan scooped a bowl of water with a bowl, and then drank it, this drink, the water in his mouth was really salty, and Shen Xiaoquan hurriedly spit out the water in his mouth.

"Why is this well water salty?" Shen Xiaoquan was entangled.

Not only did Shen Xiaoquan not understand, but the Shen family, big and small, also looked at Shen Xiaoquan one by one with a confused appearance of the second monk.

"Why don't you take the water to Brother Yunting's house and ask." Zhao Guixiang thought for a while, and then said, "I don't know if Brother Yunting is at home." ”

Listening to Zhao Guixiang's words, Shen Xiaoquan immediately picked up the water and prepared to leave.

"Old man, where are you going?" Zhao Guixiang asked hurriedly.

"Go to Brother Yunting's house, he didn't say he was going out yesterday, he should be at home at this time, I'll pick it up and ask." Shen Xiaoquan replied as he walked.

Seeing Shen Xiaoquan walking away, Zhao Guixiang said to the children: "Okay, let's go on, when your father comes back, let him go to the well in the middle of the village to carry the water back and use it, I don't know how the well water has become salty." ”

"Mother, if you want me to say, it's good to become salty, I don't have to eat pickles and tasteless porridge every day in the future, and I can let my second sister stir-fry a fresh dish to eat." Shen Lian said heartlessly.

"You just take care of eating, you're so old and so greedy, how can you get it in the future." Zhao Guixiang couldn't help but glance at her third daughter, and then walked to Shen Mei's side to help Shen Mei split the bamboo chips.

Shen Lan was a little bit of a thief, so she was a little absent-minded, and she didn't listen much to what the Shen family's mother and son said, but sat there in a daze in her heart.

It is said that Shen Xiaoquan picked a load of water to find Shen Yunting, and it happened that Shen Yunting did not go out, but dried medicinal materials at home, but saw Shen Xiaoquan pick up a load of water and come in, and couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"Xiaoquan, why did you bring water to our house." Shen Yunting asked.

"Brother Yunting, look at what is wrong with this water, why is it suddenly salty." Shen Xiaoquan said in a panic.

Hearing this, Shen Yunting hurriedly took some water with his hand and held it to his mouth and drank some of it, sure enough, it was salty, and after tasting the taste, Shen Yunting hurriedly spit out the water in his mouth, and spit out a few more mouthfuls of saliva, and then became a little strange.

"Xiaoquan, where did you get this water from?" Shen Yunting asked.

"It's the fifth child in the well behind his house, what's wrong?" Shen Xiaoquan asked.

Hearing this, Shen Yunting was even more strange, he had never heard of brine coming out of that mountain spring well, but the taste of the water he tasted in his mouth just now was clearly the taste of brine, which was also too strange.

"It seems to be brine, I've seen it before, but the well is not a short year, and I've never heard of brine, so why is it suddenly out of brine?" Shen Yunting couldn't help muttering.

"Brother Yunting, is it brine? That's good, and it will be convenient for us to eat salt in the future. Hearing this, Shen Xiaoquan couldn't help but be a little excited.

Shen Yunting didn't answer, but frowned, the imperial court is very strict with salt control, even if the brine well is discovered, it may not be able to benefit the people of Linchun Village, not to mention that this matter is still a little strange.

"Xiaoquan, this matter can't be made public, it's better to observe and observe for a few days, if it's really a brine well, I'm afraid it needs to be reported to the imperial court to know, after all, privately making salt and selling salt are both against the law, or a big crime of cutting off the head, in short, this matter can't be made public." Shen Yunting said.

"I know this, I don't think there are many people who have found out about this, do you ask the patriarch uncle to come out and preside over it, otherwise if someone is not tight-lipped, I am afraid that it will bring great disaster to the village." Shen Xiaoquan said, because it was a matter of life and death, Shen Xiaoquan naturally didn't dare to let it go.

"Okay, I'll go to the patriarch, you go find a few people to look at the well, anyway, don't make a noise first." Shen Yunting instructed, as for what he thought in his heart, he didn't explain it to Shen Xiaoquan, after all, it was a big matter about the entire Linchun Village, and he couldn't be the master alone.

When Shen Xiaoquan heard this, he hurriedly dropped his flat shoulder and left, and then found a few good and strict-mouthed men in the village and went to the well to guard the well, and Shen's mother, who had been waiting for the news, waited for a long time and didn't see Shen Xiaoquan come back, so she simply carried a small wooden bucket and went to another well in the village to get a bucket of well water back, as for the water in the tank, Shen's mother was reluctant to pour it, after all, it is rare to eat salt once on weekdays, this water is naturally salty, and it is enough for them to eat for a while.

On the other hand, Shen Yunting took the patriarch of the Shen family to the well, carefully observed the well, and scooped the well water with a scoop to taste, feeling that the water was indeed salty, but it was difficult to say whether it was brine or not, after all, the Shen family did not have talents in this area, but the patriarch ordered Shen Xiaoquan and others to go to the village to inform the clansmen to come here to fetch water back, whether this well was a brine well or not, in short, it was always good to give the people in the clan some first.

And Shen Yunting also said that it is best to use up this brine every day, and it will be fresh the next day, these are all things he has seen when digging medicine outside, and he also told the villagers that the brine can be boiled with salt, that is, the water is boiled in a pot, and it will eventually become salt, after all, the volume of salt is smaller than the volume of water, and it is easy to collect, no matter whether it is reported to the government or not, it is always a good thing for the villagers to cook some salt by themselves.
