Chapter 038: Edible Alkali

"Son, don't come back to your sister these days."

Zhao Sannu tidied up Zhao Yaozu's hair, and behind her was the cry of the five daughters of the Zhao family crying and scolding.

Zhao Yaozu glanced at her.

Zhao Sannu told him about the woods in the second half of the day, and said precautionally: "Your aunts will definitely jump on your grandfather, and it is our mother and son who will suffer later, so stay at your house and don't come back, I'll see what they can do." ”

"Smash, don't you study hard, fight for your mother, and your sister, and be our mother's support in the future, you know?"

Zhao Yaozu's empty eyes flashed, and as always, he was like a mute, taking his bookbag and leaving.

On the side of Dawangzhai, no one took Zhao Xiaoman's words to scare Zhao Lao Liu to heart, but no one forgot about being pointed at his nose and humiliated without blinking.

Chang Yi also sighed: "It's really not so easy to do it, boss, we have to work harder." ”

Zhao Xiaoman is piecing together a model from gum.

She likes to do this, and when she has nothing to do, she either locks up things in the house, or takes people up the mountains to hunt, or she uses wood or the bones of wild beasts to restore the appearance of wild beasts, and there are already several large beast skeletons in the hall.

Hearing this, she rubbed the gum on her hands and asked, "How are Mingyuan and them?" ”

The caftan was waiting for her to ask.

He no longer sat on the chair, and squatted beside her with the hem of his half-worn robe: "Those boys have already run three counties, one county for three days, and now it's a full ten days. I've been there before, and a lot of people in the grocery store are looking for 'food'. ”

He had excitement written all over his face.

Zhao Xiaoman smiled lightly: "So urgent, are you ready to go up the mountain?" ”

"Ready!"

Chang Yi didn't hide his urgency at all, and said with a smile: "We can do it immediately after you give the order, just wait for the boss's words." ”

"It's too late today."

"Then tomorrow!"

Seeing that she did not object, the cheongsam clapped his knees and got up, and hurriedly went up the hill backwards.

There is a stone staircase behind the small, wind-eroded mountain temple, with as many as 100 floors, and if you walk up the stone staircase, you can see the mountain where the ladder type has been carved out.

There is very little land that can be cultivated on the mountain, but it can be farmed simply in a circle, and a few pigs, countless rabbits, pheasants, sheep, etc., are raised on the mountain.

In addition, there is a lot of soda stone and lime piled here, and the soda stone is processed into caustic soda, which is further turned into soda ash, and then baking soda, and several substances are mixed together to form edible soda.

In the past ten days, all the labor force in the village has been put into this, and the baskets of white substances covered with gauze under the sun are the fruits of their labor.

Steaming steamed buns and selling steamed buns is time-consuming and laborious, and the return on investment is slow.

So instead of selling steamed buns, why not sell edible soda directly? Many people will make steamed buns, but this edible alkali, cheongsam dare to say that they are the first part!

"Hurry up and do it, the boss said that he will ship it out tomorrow to try," Changsan told the others the news.

"Ouch, that's the time to speak," the old uncle pounded his old waist and began to add water to the lime again.

"Uncle, do we eat meat every day when we get rich?" Another person stirring with a large wooden stick was revealed.

"You know how to eat."

The old uncle scolded with a smile: "Hurry up, I'll slaughter the pig baby in the back mountain for you when you're really rich." ”

"Did you hear that?"

"I'm going to slaughter the pig, I heard you."

"Who knows if it will be done?" The old uncle was anxious when he thought about tomorrow, and he was still thinking about it when he ate.

Isn't it just to sell something?

Zhao Xiaoman's ears were cocooned, and he entered the city with the cheongsam early the next morning.

The county town built on the mountain is not much bigger, and the city gates are all built of stone, but it is very simple and solid.

Zhao Xiaoman sat on the stone jar on the donkey cart, and saw a roadside stall buying wontons, shouting to eat.

"Two bowls," said the gown, pulling six copper plates from his waist.

During this time, Dawangzhai spent more than 200 taels of silver just to build a house, which is still the result of buying back building materials, and everyone has a part of the silver distributed to their personal names, otherwise where would the village with a small scale be built with 200 taels?

Tightly fastened the belt of his trousers, a penny fell into two petals, and he pit those officers and soldiers again, so that everyone would not go out collectively to ask for food, and in the past few days, they have frequently purchased a large amount of alkali stone, lime or something, where is the spare money?

They stood next to them and watched Zhao Xiaoman make two bowls of wontons.

Zhao Xiaoman was stunned, licked the corners of his mouth and put down the empty bowl, and said shamelessly: "You don't even have soup when the boss eats meat, it's too miserable." ”

Everyone: "......"

Almost.

To go or not to go?

Little bolt: "The boss is so thick-skinned." ”

She's thick-skinned, why do you still have a tone of adoration?

Mingyuan fried his hair: "Be quiet, don't be heard by her." ”

Zhao Xiaoman's body tilted towards them: "I heard it." ”

Feng Wu shouted next to him: "Does the boss eat cooking cakes?" ”

"Eat!"

When she heard of eating, her ears would be pricked up.

The little bolt looked at the man sitting on the stone jar and nibbling on the cake: "Our boss is so cute." ”

Yes~

Mingyuan was very embarrassed and said, "...... You didn't see when she beat people into pigs' heads? ”

"So what?" The little bolt and the honor, seeing the street market he had come to before, suddenly pulled his throat and began to shout, "Steamed buns, big and soft steamed buns~"

Mingyuan, and Lao Cai were all there, and when they saw that the little bolt was so fierce, they shouted hard one by one.

Zhao Xiaoman looked at the figures of several half-sized children and praised: "Not bad, it's quite useful." ”

It's not just useful, it's all up to them!

The cheongsam slandered, and asked, "Let's go too, shall we?" ”

Zhao Xiaoman waved his hand: "Let's go." ”

They divided into two ways, how they should shout and shout for the small bolts, and they drove the donkey cart to the nearest grocery store.

This shop is not big, eating and drinking utensils are more common objects in daily life, but it is still early, the door panel of the grocery store is only half opened, and when I see people coming, the young boy who sells goods asks with Hatche: "What do you want?" ”

Chang Yi looked around and said casually: "Is there edible alkali?" ”

"No, no."

The young man waved his hand to drive people away, and scolded: "I don't know which immoral person deceives people everywhere, saying that adding edible alkali to the noodles can make soft and non-sour pasta." Our shop has been open for decades, and we buy everything from south to north, but we haven't said that Rausch edible alkali has been introduced. ”

"I don't know how many times I've said it, no such thing is no such thing, it's fucking annoying. You guys hurry up, hurry up, don't delay me in business. ”
