Chapter 72 Responsibility
Now that it has been almost half a month since the closure of the East Courtyard, I am afraid that someone from outside will find trouble, so I have to take precautions, and it is still necessary to find someone to guard it.
Fuzhu returned to the threshold to do needlework, and the little feet that stretched out shook and swayed.
Chen Xi looked back at the gate of the courtyard with less than half of the door, and he was embarrassed, he didn't have time to care about this for the time being, anyway, this gate couldn't prevent anything, so let's do it first.
She turned around with her things in her arms and walked briskly towards the small courtyard, which needed to be used in the kitchen.
The little young master saw her coming and going in a hurry, and he was in a hurry all day long.
Of course, he also knew that she was busy for the East Courtyard, but he also wanted to help, after all, he knew that the other party still had injuries, so he also followed closely.
I've read enough books in the morning, so it's better to see if there's anything I can help with.
Chen Xi knew that the little young master was coming over, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, thinking that it was good for him to be distracted, and his temperament of studying all day long would only become more and more boring.
Not to mention officialdom, he even has a big problem with ordinary people.
Chen Xi didn't wait for him, and walked quickly to the well in the small courtyard.
The little young master also quickened his pace.
Yu'er and Linglong are still busy working near the yard, so they are not in the yard.
Chen Xi found the bucket by the well, and saw that there was still some clear water at the bottom of the bucket, so he poured the handful of dirt and rocks in his hand into it, and there was a loud noise.
Feel free to throw the leaves to the side.
The little young master didn't make a sound when he came over, but when Chen Xi was about to take the bucket to fetch water, he reached out and took the bucket, Chen Xi saw that he was still quite considerate, so he simply let go and let him come.
After raising it for a few days, as long as the half-grown child of this age can eat enough, he will not be slow to recover, and his strength will be raised more or less.
The little young master carried the wooden barrel and threw it into the well, and he could lift it to eight points with his strength in the rope.
Seeing that he was carrying water and pouring it into the salt soil, he directly poured the bucket about five minutes full.
Chen Xi hurriedly shouted: "Enough is enough, don't fall all down, I'll add something later." ”
She has watched documentaries and popular science videos in the past, and how to refine refined salt is not clear in her retrospect, but there are a few specific methods to remember.
Coarse salt seems to have a lot of poisonous substances, and people must have damage to their bodies when they eat it, especially on their teeth and mouth, so people in the past had a short lifespan.
However, the ancients also developed a method of refining, which has three steps.
Pour water to dissolve, filter, and steam.
Chen Xi doesn't remember the specific process, but she tried it with her own feelings.
If it doesn't work once, she can try it a few more times, but she has enough patience anyway.
The little master watched the little girl circling around a bag of dirt and stones, blistering with water, looking for charcoal, looking for small gravel made by the delicate fish, and so on to find a sieve to sift out some gravel from the soil.
Seeing that Chen Xi brought over an empty bucket again, and wrapped a cloth around it to seal it, he couldn't help but be curious, and asked, "What are you going to do here?" ”
Chen Xi was busy making the filter container, and when he heard this, he remembered that he hadn't told him about it yet, so he gave him a brief explanation of the matter while sealing the wooden barrel.
Before the little young master was shocked by the fact that salt could be refined in the soil, he was shocked by her desire to sell salt privately, and couldn't help but ask her in a cold voice, "Do you know what kind of crime it is to sell illegal salt?" That's a big sin to lose your head! ”
There was a slight tremor in his words, and he actually wanted to ask if it was worth the risk?
Chen Xi snorted when he heard this, and smiled without raising his head: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get a tiger, what are you greedy for life and afraid of death?" I dare to do it, naturally, I know it. ”
She had been mentally prepared for a long time.
On the day when something really happens, he will not confess to them, let alone implicate them.
Chen Xi sealed the mouth of the new barrel before standing up and said to the young master's gaze: "How can you make money without this?" Earn that little bit by that network? Anyway, that's just an add-on, and I didn't want to do more than that. ”
She still has a lot of ideas that she hasn't done yet.
The discovery of salt mines today is a windfall, but a shortcut.
After all, if you really want to do anything, you have to have the first pot of gold, and her net worth is spent just to buy self-defense equipment, which shows that she needs money no matter where she is.
Besides, she didn't do much, and it was impossible to reach the weight of violating the balance of the country, as long as she was careful to avoid danger, it would still work like this.
Chen Xi elaborated on her thoughts again, and let him go out and cross this place through the road. Now it's just a quick transition to make money.
People have to be flexible.
How can you live if you are so stupid and follow the rules?
It's not about doing anything unreasonable.
And it's very problematic that this place even controls the edible salt so tightly.
Either the quantity is too small due to the troublesome refining method, or they want to control the amount of salt, and they are afraid that some unconscionable people will hoard and disrupt the market and raise the army behind their backs.
Although there should be a reason, Chen Xi still feels that the amount given to each person is too small.
Judging from Zhang Hansan's mouth, the amount of distribution given to each person can only barely maintain physical needs.
Miserable.
It has to be miserable for the common people.
What the rich and noble can have through the back door, look at the Huang family, there is no shortage of salt at all, can you really use salt so lavishly according to the population?
And it may be much more difficult for ordinary people to want it, and they have no way but to endure it, or take risks like Zhang Hansan to buy.
Chen Xi felt that there was no such thing as mineral salt here, and if her matter broke out in the future, how could the matter of having salt in the soil be a matter of convenience for the people.
If the reason for the lack of salt among civilians is that it is too difficult to extract edible salt, then isn't this the right solution to this problem?
As for the balance of the market and the problem of worrying about the raising of troops by people with thieving intentions, since the boss knows about this salt production method, of course he will control it as soon as possible.
Chen Xi is just the first person to eat crabs first.
Maybe something really happened, but she found that this might be able to be offset by merit?
Of course.
She will also pay great attention, who wants to be arrested?
Chen Xi will not let herself have an accident easily, and the decisions she makes will not implicate others, she is an adult and can take responsibility for the choices she makes.
Still.
It's normal for the little young master to be worried.
Chen Xi just comforted him and said: "Anlaan, I will be flexible depending on the situation, not all of this will be sold, and some other things will be sold together when the time comes." ”
Disguise yourself as a vendor who takes the goods, and it's more or less safe.
The little young master just grimaced, pursed his lips and insisted: "It's not worth it for you to take risks for me like this." ”
When Chen Xi heard it, he smiled and said, "Not only for you, but also for my own future." ”
She's not lying.
