From Dawangzhai to Fucheng, and from Fucheng to Sujia Courtyard, most of the time has passed, Zhao Xiaoman rode on a horse and looked at the sun that was still in full swing, and felt that he should come again tomorrow.

"Waiting?"

She turned around when she heard the clear male voice, and saw Su Qinghe in a sky-blue brocade robe, and felt that it would be good if the weather was like this.

"Ah, I've been waiting for almost half an hour."

Zhao Xiaoman was lazy and lazy, and his condescending appearance sitting on the horse made Su Qinghe feel ...... She seemed a little unhappy.

"I invited a few friends to enjoy the cool here, and the next generation didn't recognize you, so I reported back and forth, wasting effort."

He explained that he didn't mean to make her wait too long.

Zhao Xiaoman hummed dispensably, turned the horse's head, "Let's go." ”

One man and one horse, Ping An followed.

The Su family's courtyard is not very far from Bashan, and it will be there in more than an hour.

However, it is getting weaker at this time, and many people on the mountain have stopped working to forage for food, and the restaurants at the intersection are surrounded by water.

I didn't know such a lively scene, but I thought it was a very lively town.

So many people can't ride horses anymore, Zhao Xiaoman led the horse and walked in front, and people she knew didn't pay much attention to greet her, Su Qinghe said a few words to the same person, and saw that she was a little impatient when she stopped in front, so he took a few steps to follow.

"Coming?"

Yan Jingzheng led Zhao Yaozu to walk back, carrying a few food bags in his hand.

There are a few literate people on the mountain, but none of them read, and he is so idle and mixed with cranes, but he is very leisurely.

Su Qinghe saluted with him.

Yan Jingzheng smiled: "Qinghe doesn't need to be polite, let's eat together." ”

Hearing this, Su Qinghe looked in the direction of Zhao Xiaoman and found that she had already left.

"Let's go," Yan Jingzheng also saw it.

It's the time for dinner, and the big guys are eating everywhere they go.

"Boss—"

The fat man who stayed here to organize the convoy shouted when he saw him from afar.

"I thought you weren't coming, boss, did you eat?"

Zhao Xiaomanchao looked around and found that this place was full of board cars and coachmen, "No." Who are these people? ”

made a big pot of stew and let her sit down, and the fat man talked to her slowly.

"They are all from nearby villages, and this is only a small part, and the rest of the deliveries have gone to more than 70 people. Boss, do you think it's enough? ”

Zhao Xiaoman: "I don't care about things, how do I know." ”

"Not enough," the fat man himself laughed there.

After this matter was finished, he said Xue Yang again. Xue Yang is now wandering around Suizhou, or with the kind of wandering of the officials of the prefecture and city, to see where there are workshops that steal patents, see one copy of the other, and I heard that there are several special people in the yamen for this matter.

The fat man is envious to death, "The second brother will do things when he plays, and the officials in Fucheng can't wait to be brothers with him." ”

"When this is over, I'll go to the second brother too?"

"Wouldn't it be more comfortable for you to go back and be a bandit?" Zhao Xiaoman poured cold water on him as if to dispel his idea of not doing his job, and the meal was almost finished.

Fat man: "Boss, why did you eat so much, I also deliberately asked someone to keep it, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat enough." ”

"I'm not a rice bucket," Zhao Xiaoman patted his ass and left.

The fat man muttered to her, "Why do you feel so angry?" ”

Old man Zhao, as well as the acquaintances of the backer, are here.

At this time, they are all gathered together, eating and talking.

Zhao Xiaoman went to the saltpeter room to take a look, and it was almost the same, and he went back to call someone for a meeting.

According to what was said before, the large workshops with a scale of more than 100 people, as well as the stewards of various small workshops, all gathered over.

The office room was so big, dozens of people were standing and sitting together, noisy, and Zhao Xiaoman was crooked on the back chair with a cold face.

Mr. Yan and Su Qinghe came over, and they were a little quieter.

"Okay, okay, don't make any noise, listen to what our boss has to say."

The old uncle asked her, "Boss? ”

The anger was not smooth, these words had already been written on Zhao Xiaoman's face, she looked at it coldly, and the sound that was still humming quietly in the room immediately dissipated.

Until there was no movement, she took out two things.

"I won't say much about the fact that saltpeter can make ice. This thing is a mold, and you can make it into a popsicle with this thing, and add sugar, fruit, cream, juice, and all kinds of things to the ice, and you can develop it yourself. ”

"It's made into popsicles and sold, and it can be made for two months according to the current weather."

The mold knows that the popsicle is easy to understand, but adding something to it is a bit limited to everyone's imagination.

The room began to gossip again.

Zhao Xiaoman's brows furrowed, "When I'm done, I'll ask questions in a unified manner." ”

The old uncle knew what her temper was, and told everyone not to quarrel.

Zhao Xiaoman continued, "Popsicles are only suitable for summer, and they can earn a fortune if they meet the taste of the public, and they can not do it if they are troublesome." But later, I will ask Changshan to contact the merchants, and Bashan will provide ice, so that the merchants can transport the local fruits out and the products from the outside come over. ”

"It's a big deal."

The chatter began again.

This time, Zhao Xiaoman waited for them to talk for a while.

Su Qinghe was surprised by her thoughts, and was curious about another thing, so she resisted the urge to ask, and said, "What is that?" ”

There was a lot of noise in the room, but she sat quite close, and Zhao Xiaoman heard it as soon as she spoke.

Wipe~

A fire was sliced away by him.

Mr. Yan, who had been listening to it for a long time, frowned, "Fire? ”

Yes, it's fire, but how do you get it? No one saw it clearly.

Zhao Xiaoman demonstrated again.

A small match brushed the rubbing paper, and with a click, the fire came out.

The sound of surprise erupted as if it had been held back for a long time

"What is this?"

"A new fire break?"

"I've only seen a fire fold to blow, but I've never seen a wipe one."

"The fire fold is not like this, just a little bit, which is the fire fold."

"What's that? So easy to catch fire. ”

"Zhao Dangjia is really a capable person, he has everything."

The old uncle was also startled, "Boss, what are you doing behind our backs?" ”

"How can there be so many new things," Old Man Zhao looked at probes.

Zhao Xiaoman saw Su Qinghe, who also looked strange, and handed him the match.

There were matches in the small box, and Su Qinghe picked up one and wiped it on the friction paper on both sides of the box.

Boom, the flames came out again.

In addition to the fire fold, the tool for making fire is the flint and fire sickle, and none of these things are as light as this thing.

Su Qinghe rowed another one, and found that it was the things on the wood cabinet that started the fire, and then lit the firewood, "How did you do this?" ”

Where is Zhao Xiaoman leaning on, "saltpeter." ”
