At this time, the mud has been spread on the beach for several days, and in two days it can be collected and the salt can be collected in the salt mill, and if it rains at this time, the efforts of more than a month will be wasted.

Bai Jin also raised his head at this time and looked at the clouds in the sky.

Calculate the time, the rainy season is approaching, she plans to be able to dry this batch of salt before the rainy season, the rainy season in Jingnan is a month and you can't see a single day of sun, so you can only fry salt in the salt mill.

"Sister." Bai Shan moved his lips.

Bai Jin smiled and said, "It's okay, you can just go, the rainy season should be a few days away." ”

Although she said this, Bai Jin still had no bottom in her heart, she couldn't predict and control the weather, if the rainy weather was really coming, how could she stop it? She could only hope that the weather would come later.

Bai Shan also smiled and went out of the house with a smile.

Bai Jin said this in her heart, she didn't do anything for an afternoon, moved a small chair and sat outside, watching the clouds in the sky gradually become more and more and begin to obscure the sun.

Then the clouds on the edge of the sky began to turn black and thicken, and at such a fast speed that it was not long before half of the sky was already dark.

It's only a moment of time now, except for the coming rainstorm, how can it be dark?

Luo also poked out of the house and muttered, "The rainstorm is coming." ”

Yes, the rainstorm is coming, Bai Jin's heart sank suddenly, it's over, this month's hard work will be in vain.

It's not just because of the mud, but because of the heavy rains, the water level of the lake may rise, and the salt pans will not be completely submerged.

At the beginning, in order to better divert water, Bai Jin dug the salt pan in a lower place near the lake, once the water level of the lake rises, the lake water will all be poured into the salt pan, or even submerged!

When the lake receded, the salt pans were almost destroyed.

It's too late!

She heard a loud bang, and the electric light tore through the sky, and then she felt a few drops of water drop on her face, and then the bean-sized raindrops rolled down densely. The entire Huangyan Village seemed to be soaked in the rain, and the scenery in front of Bai Jin's eyes gradually became a little hazy, and he could only see some illusory salt mills and dense raindrops falling in the distance.

It's over, it's really over! Bai Jin ran to the salt mill with all his strength, Bai Shan had already begun to let people put away the mud on the lake beach, the scene was a little chaotic, because the rain was too heavy, and the mud was spread out in a large area, and it could not be collected at all, and it was washed away by the rain and all dispersed into the lake.

Looking at the lake, I saw that the level of the lake was also rising rapidly, slowly engulfing the salt pans, not only the mud and slag, but also the salt pans were all gone.

The most feared thing still happened, and it is no exaggeration to say that the previous efforts were lost.

Bai Jin wanted to comfort himself that he had still boiled a lot of salt for so long.

But she knows better than anyone how much salt can be used in a decoction? Yes, it is indeed enough for the three of them to eat for a long time at home, but if they are sold, it is too little, and the big head is the salt in the mud drying by the lake!

Wiping a handful of rain on her face, Bai Jin felt a little dizzy, but she took a deep breath and also blended into the crowd to rescue the mud, Bai Shan saw her coming and hurriedly wanted to call her back, but Bai Jin didn't care about the dirty, picked up the mud and put it in the salt mill.

Even if there is one more person, how much more mud can be brought back? Bai Jin didn't know, but as long as she came back with one more piece, she would have a few more copper plates.

I don't know how many times I went back and forth, until Bai Shan grabbed her, Bai Jin looked at the salt mill, a large piece of mud was not even piled up in the salt mill in the end, and most of the mud was soaked in rainwater, and there was not much left of the salt stains, and Bai Jin was tired into a puddle of mud leaning against the wall.

Bai Shan was no better, his face was also covered with mud, he panted and leaned next to him and asked, "Sister, what should I do now?" ”

Bai Jin shook his head and asked, "How many of these?" ”

Bai Shan replied without looking at it: "It's less than one-tenth or two-tenths of the original." ”

That is, at least eighty percent of the losses were made.

Bai Jin smiled bitterly, as the so-called people do things in people, and things are done in the sky, is the sky not letting her live a good life?

I thought I was miserable enough in Hailing, thinking that it would be okay to live a good life in Jingnan, right? As a result, a heavy rain washed away all her hard work.

Did she create evil in her last life?

"Sister, what should we do?" Bai Shan asked.

She shook her head, only to feel that her head was groggy, and she leaned on Bai Shan's shoulder a little sleepily, and at this time she was very tired and wanted to rest.

She had forgotten how she had returned home that day, but she only remembered Luo's somewhat flustered look and the scent of medicine in her nose.

She had a dream, she dreamed of Yunheliang, she dreamed of Baifu, she dreamed of Bai Liuyun, she dreamed of He's family, she dreamed of the last night in Hailing, these are all dreams now, she has nothing.

It was raining continuously, and she sat on the edge of the bed wrapped in the quilt in a distraction, watching the pouring rain outside, and it didn't take long for Luo to carry a medicine bowl in front of her.

Bai Jin was a little stunned, lost his previous look, picked up the bowl and drank the bowl of very bitter medicine and was stuffed with a candied fruit by Luo.

Today, Baishan went to the city to deliver the supplied salt, and the fried salt for so many days was only a dozen loads of salt, which could not be exchanged for much silver.

The price of salt sold by Jing'an to the family is much lower than that of Hailing, Bai Jin thought, at most, change a few copper plates.

Maybe next month, those long-term workers will not be able to open the monthly silver.

It seems that this salt mill is really going to give up to Bai Si.

She squinted her eyes and thought that she was a little sleepy now that she was very weak, and before she knew it, she fell asleep again, and she didn't know how long it took for her to hear some sounds and wake up in a daze.

Bai Shan pushed open the door and came back.

"You're back?" Bai Jin said softly.

Bai Shan took off the hat on his head and said, "It's back, and I changed a lot of silver." ”

Silver? Bai Jin was stunned, only to see Bai Shan open the purse he was carrying, and saw the usual copper coin and a shiny silver lying inside.

A full one or two!

"This silver ......" Bai Jin couldn't believe that he could sell so much.

Bai Shan wiped the water on his head: "Actually, it's not difficult, I sent a load of salt to the Liu family, and then sold the rest to the merchants in the port." ”

The Liu family only took a load of salt? Bai Jin knew that Bai Shan should have received countless white eyes from the Liu family.

The Bai family's salt mill has been open for a month before it supplies a load of salt? White let him open!

"But now that the water level of the lake is rising, and it is rainy weather, there are not many merchant ships, where are the port merchants?" She asked, confused.

Bai Shanhan smiled: "Coincidentally, I happened to meet it when I went to get salt today." ”

Of course, it "happened" that he had waited for several hours in the rain before he came across it, so that he had been tricked into buying the rest of the salt for a tael of silver.

"Sister, don't worry, we're just unlucky this time, and after the rainy season next month, the tide recedes, let's do it again."

Also, Bai Jin nodded, and there was a trace of warmth in his heart.

After the rainy season, start again.
