When construction began outside the Jinguang Gate, Xu Qilin planned to design some exotic houses to attract more Hu merchants in the western market.

Scarlett didn't quite understand Xu Qilin's thoughts, nor did she know his future plans, but Xu Qilin's self-confidence still infected her and made her trust her own Ah Lang with determination.

Xu Qilin took a sip of the drink and asked, "Tomorrow I will lead Chen Datie and them to the village for a few days, will you go with me?" ”

Scarlett nodded without thinking about it: "Where Ah Lang goes, the slave family will serve." ”

The Xianglu workshop on the village is going to expand production, and Steward Xu is commanding over there, and it has done a good job. Xu Qilin will bring people up again, and strive to complete it within three or five days.

Of course, the improvement of the Xianglu manufacturing process also had to be personally directed by Xu Qilin, and the equipment made in the blacksmith shop also had to be transported.

To upgrade the fragrance dew, in addition to the current steam distillation method, Xu Qilin plans to add organic solvent extraction. The resulting fragrance is more volatile and has a more intense and pure fragrance.

At present, the organic solvent that can be easily prepared is a high degree of alcohol that is close to alcohol. There is already distillation equipment, and the purification of liquor is not a problem.

Because His Majesty Li Er helped scare off the pretenders, this matter must be impossible to hide, and in the future, who will dare to reach out to the non-long-eyed guy?

Without worries, of course Xu Qilin has to throw off his arms and work hard to make a lot of money on the profiteering project of Xianglu.

"Alang, what are those kids doing?" Scarlett asked curiously, pointing to a few refugee children in the field in the distance.

Xu Qilin looked at it and said, "It's digging wild vegetables, or picking up firewood." ”

Scarlett blinked and said, "Wild vegetables are delicious when mixed together." ”

Not only do the rich and noble families occasionally try to eat some wild vegetables, but even the emperor also eats them in history.

But how the wild vegetables are made, I have to admire the brain hole of the imperial chef, which is to put the wild vegetables into the goose's belly and steam them, and then put the seasoning on a plate for the emperor to taste after cooking.

As soon as the emperor eats it, hey, it tastes good! Who said that the common people eat bran and vegetables, and it is no problem for me to add some taxes, right?

Xu Qilin smiled bitterly and said, "That's made by our family, there is oil and materials, and it is carefully prepared." They dug up wild vegetables, and boiled them into porridge with rice, and it tasted—"

Seeing Xu Qilin shaking his head, Scarlett knew that this taste must not be good. If the porridge with wild vegetables is delicious, wouldn't everyone dig it up and leave it for refugee children?

"Famine, fleeing, as long as you don't starve to death, it's creation!" Xu Qilin sighed, got up and said, "Let's go, follow me back to the city, there are still some things to do!" ”

Scarlett packed up the paper and pen account book, and as Xu Qilin walked to the carriage, she couldn't help but cast her eyes on the refugee children who were busy in the field.

The two had just walked a short distance when a rapid dog barking came, and Scarlett was a little panicked and reached out to grab Xu Qilin's arm.

"Don't be afraid, there is me!" Xu Qilin hurriedly protected the girl behind him.

The barking of the dog was getting closer and closer, and Xu Qilin casually picked up a branch and prepared to protect the flowers.

The sound of chaotic footsteps sounded, and a beggar-like child, unkempt, with tattered clothes, a handful of tears and snot, holding a small stick, turned back from time to time and cried and screamed to drive away the wild dogs that had caught up, but the bread in his hand did not leave his mouth, and he ate as he ran, apparently hungry.

When Xu Qilin and Scarlett approached, the little beggar ran in a hurry, fell on the ground, and threw out the stick and cake in his hand.

But soon, the little beggar cried and got up again, grabbed the cake in the field and sent it to his mouth, grabbed the clod of earth with one hand and threw it at the wild dog, and crawled to the ground in front of Xu Qilin and Scarlett.

"Yo-ho - get out of here." Xu Qilin screamed, waved a branch to meet him, and used a peerless dog-beating stick method, I hit, I hit, I hit, I didn't hit at all.

But the sound of the stick, this toss is amazing.

The wild dog immediately restrained his ferocity, his eyes glazed back, whined, and then howled and fled with his tail between his legs.

Hmph, paper tiger, only screams fiercely, if you don't hit it, it won't fall.

Xu Qilin was still unsatisfied, turned the weapon in his hand into a small Li flying stick and threw it out. Accurately, another dog wail was heard in my ears.

Xu Qilin slapped his hands and turned around triumphantly, only to find that Scarlett hadn't watched his performance at all, but was showing love to the little beggar.

"Hey, hey, you're a little bit away." Xu Qilin hurriedly ran two steps to pull Scarlett away, and pointed to the little beggar's bare feet and the scars on the exposed calves, "I didn't see that I was bitten by a dog, beware of infecting you!" ”

Rabies, it's terrible, don't talk about the Tang Dynasty, and the future generations will be more auspicious.

"Ah Lang, it's a girl!" Scarlett probably didn't understand what Xu Qilin was saying, and was still looking at the little beggar with loving eyes.

"Alright, let's go." Xu Qilin took out a few copper coins and stuffed them to the little beggar, and pulled Scarlett away.

"Pathetic." Scarlett turned around as she walked, and said to the little beggar, "Come, sister, bring you some hot food." ”

"Hey, you-" Xu Qilin was speechless.

It's not that he's hard-hearted, it's that he has lingering fears about rabies. In his previous life, he worked in an agricultural technology extension station, often went to the countryside, had some experience in dog fighting, and also saw rabies patients, which was really scary.

Hey, the little beggar is really keeping up, forget it, give me something to eat, hurry up!

Back in her car, Scarlett took a few Hu Biscuits, the kind with meat filling in the middle, and handed them to the little beggar, who took them timidly.

"Alright, it's time for us to go!" Xu Qilin got into the carriage, squeezed Scarlett inside, and urged the coachman.

"Pathetic." Scarlett sighed softly, looked at Xu Qilin and said, "Ah Lang, what did you just say, you were bitten by a dog, what did you say?" ”

"Contagious!" Xu Qilin popularized the knowledge of rabies to Scarlett, and said: "It's not that I'm not kind, it's just that depending on the situation, I'm afraid that something will happen to you." ”

"I see." Scarlett nodded her little head, knowing that Ah Lang cared about her, she was very happy, and said: "The slave family just took pity on that little girl, who almost lost her life for a piece of cake." When I think about it, my heart is uncomfortable. ”

"You know, you are kind and soft-hearted, I like it tightly!" Xu Qilin stretched out his hand and touched Scarlett's head and said, "If you want to do good deeds, let's also open a porridge shack and let you manage it." ”

"Wow!" Scarlett's little head nodded happily.

Okay, this can be regarded as letting Scarlett practice her hands first, a porridge shed, it doesn't cost much money, and she can get a good reputation.
