"Don't make a noise for now, continue to come back after eating, and tell me as soon as the girl comes back, you know?"

"Well, got the butler."

Xue family.

After the family finished eating, they sat in the courtyard for a while, and then washed and slept.

The order is arranged like this, Xue Jun, Xue Yao, Pei Lian, then Xue Mu, and Xue Wu is the last.

A family of five, the demand for hot water is high, and the firewood in the kitchen stove has never been extinguished. Those who have washed their hair can also sit directly in front of the fire and dry their hair with the fire, which is simple and environmentally friendly.

It's just a little hot.

However, there is a basin of saltpeter water next to it, and the cool air continues to come out, which can also bring some coolness.

Xue's mother washed her hair, sat in front of the stove to dry her hair, and as soon as Xue Wu came out, she called her to the kitchen.

"Sister-in-law, my mother has something to ask you."

Xue Wu also washed her hair, then moved a small horse to sit over, and asked while wiping her hair, "What's the matter?" ”

Xue Mu hesitated, but still asked, "This method of making ice from saltpeter, how can Ye Shaodong's family tell you?" ”

You must know that ice is a rare thing in summer, and the poor don't have to think about it, if they want to cool down, they can only use well water to cool some things, and they can't sleep when it's hot at night, and they can only sleep with winter melons.

And it is not so easy for the rich to get ice, after all, the ice stored in the government freezer is limited, and if you want to buy ice, you have to buy it with an ice ticket.

When ice is in short supply, ice tickets can even be used directly as money!

So this summer's ice, it's really like silver.

And saltpeter is a thing that can be sold in pharmacies, and it is not expensive, you can buy a pound of dozens of yuan, and how much ice can be made from a pound? If you sell it, the profit is simply frightening.

Such a way to make money, Ye Shaodong's family told his daughter like this?

There is no such thing as pie in the sky, and if there is, it must be a trap.

Xue Wu also saw Xue Mu's worries at this time, and explained to her: "Mother, look at the ice in this basin, it has only been a thin layer for so long, and this thin layer can only cool down and chill something."

"In order to use it to make the whole block of ice, you first have to build a cellar as deep as the government to store the ice, and you need to put in a lot of saltpeter without interruption, and the process is not simply throwing saltpeter into the water, and you need to hire a lot of people. Think about it, if you do it like this, even if ordinary people know how to make saltpeter ice, what can they do?

"Moreover, even if we invest a lot of manpower and material resources to make ice, ice is controlled by the government, and we can't use it for profit. Therefore, even if we ordinary people get this method of saltpeter ice, it is useless, that is, we use it to cool down.

"Another thing you don't know is that this saltpeter ice can't be eaten, and if you use this ice for food, people will get sick.

"Ye Shaodong's family naturally knows this, so he told me this method, but he just wanted to sell me a favor."

After Xue Wu explained, she couldn't help but believe it a little.

However, except for "the method of saltpeter ice making comes from Ye Shaodong's family", these words are true, it is precisely because there are many restrictions on saltpeter ice making that she does not regard it as a way to make money, but she can sell this method to Ye Diao another day and make a lot of money.

Of course, the premise is that people don't know.

After all, the method of making ice from saltpeter has been discovered and widely used hundreds of years ago, so it makes no sense that people nowadays don't know, right?

But it's not impossible, maybe this method has really been lost now?

Time is a ruthless killer.

After listening to Xue Wu's explanation, Xue Mu realized that she had thought things too simply, "I see." In this way, the mother is relieved. But sister-in-law, you are a girl's family, and when you deal with people outside, you must have more eyes, you know? Your countenance ......."

She sighed, "It's a bit eye-catching." ”

Xue Wu sneered, her white and delicate face became more and more beautiful under the light of the firelight, "Mother, didn't I tell you before, I used another identity to deal with Ye Shaodong's family, and I also painted myself ugly, if you don't believe it, I will show you now." ”

She said that she would do it, pulled Xue Mu into the house, took out her pile of cosmetics and put it on the table, and put on makeup in front of Xue Mu and Xue Yao who heard the news.

After the makeup, Xue Mu and the others were stunned, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, how could they believe that a person's appearance would change so much after putting on makeup.

How else to say that makeup is "evil art".

Looking at Xue Wu's ordinary makeup, Xue Mu was completely relieved.

It must be very safe to go out like this.

Xue Yao, as a little straight man, just sighed at the magic of Xue Yao's makeup, but he didn't have any more ideas.

Pei Lin saw it, but he couldn't help but think of the disguise masters in those scripts that he peeked at in private.

Xue Jun was very interested in this kind of makeup, and held Xue Jun's hand and asked her to teach her.

So Xue Wu began to teach on the spot, although Xue Mu didn't say it, but judging from the sparkling eyes, she also wanted to learn.

It was a long night, and there was nothing to pass the time, and it was still early, not yet time to go to bed.

Xue Yao yawned after watching it for a while, couldn't hold on, and went back to his room to sleep.

Pei Lin sat next to him relentlessly, serving as Xue Wan's assistant.

On the other side, Zhao Fuli.

Except for the night watchman, the rest of the people slept.

At that moment, a frightened scream resounded through the night sky, waking everyone up.

What's the situation? Haunted?

Under Chen Tian's organization, the subordinates slowly walked towards the garden, but before they could go in, they saw a person running out with a frightened face, shouting "Don't eat me, don't eat me".

Behind him, Ah Man chased him out, flew and kicked him down, and stepped on his back.

After some interrogation, Chen Tian learned that this person was a thief, and he heard that the famous ghost house had been bought, but the people inside lived well, and there were no rumors of haunting, so he wanted to touch it and take a look.

The result is obvious, he "hit the ghost".

Seeing this person's crazy appearance, Chen Tian gave Ah Man a look, and Ah Man cut the person unconscious with a knife in one hand, "Tie it up and throw the person into the firewood room." ”

Ah Man carried the thief who was tied up with five flowers with one hand and threw him into the firewood room.

In the same place, Chen Tian and several subordinates looked at each other, because they looked around, let alone ghosts, and they didn't find anything abnormal.

"Alright, let's go back to sleep." Chen Tian waved his hand and spoke.

Everyone left, and a gust of wind blew by, and the fantasy fruit tree in the garden made a rattling sound.
