Chapter 148: Worried
Back at home, a group of people were chatting about the past again, wiping their tears while wiping their tears, Bai Xiyan couldn't stand the atmosphere and found an excuse to walk away.
Not long after returning to Zhao's house and sitting down, Zhao He hurriedly walked back.
"What's wrong? Is there something going on over there in the mountain garden? ”
Zhao He poured a glass of water and drank it in a big gulp before sitting down and said, "Don't worry, it's nothing, it's just that a group of guests came to the inn, and those people want to come and buy goods." ”
"Isn't that a good thing?" Bai Xiyan was puzzled.
Zhao He nodded, and shook his head again, "Those people want to make a deal with us, and I can't make up my mind, so I'll come back and ask you." ”
"What deal?"
"They brought a batch of cattle and sheep and wanted to exchange them with us."
Bai Xiyan raised his eyebrows, "This is a good thing, is there any problem in the middle?" ”
These are what the country lacks the most nowadays, and someone can exchange them, which is of course the best.
"It's not ......" Zhao He was a little anxious, he really hadn't dealt with such a thing, and Uncle Wu was not there, he couldn't make up his mind, and he didn't know how much those cattle and sheep were worth.
"I see that those cows don't look the same as the ones we raise, and the sheep don't know how much they're worth, and they ask for a lot of goods, so I'm not in charge."
So that's the case, but the cow looks different?
"Why don't you take me to see it? Uncle Wu, they haven't come back yet. Bai Xiyan said expectantly.
Zhao He waved his hand, "This is not good, everyone should be back soon, I just came back to tell you, you still have peace of mind at home, there are many people in the mountain garden, what if you don't want to bump into it." ”
Bai Xiyan rolled her eyes, fortunately, she is also a person who doesn't like to go out, otherwise she would not have to suffocate to death every time she stays in the mountains like this.
The two chatted for a while before returning to the Bai family again, and everyone had already returned by this time.
"Wow, you've caught so many fish." Bai Xiyan was a little surprised, these big barrels were really not a joke.
"Hahaha, of course, don't look at who makes the shot." The Emperor laughed a little smugly.
"Yes, it's grandpa who is the best."
So much, you can eat a seafood feast directly.
"I always knew that this sea water was salty, but I didn't expect it to be so salty, if only it could turn into salt." The Emperor Taishang was moved.
"Grandpa, why is this? Am I not getting enough salt? "Salt should be enough, right? I have never heard of a shortage of salt, but the salt is too big and too expensive.
Many people only buy a little bit back, saving enough for half a year, but a little astringent, honestly, she is not satisfied, she has read in books before, these coarse salt can be processed into fine salt, she has been here for a while, and she is used to it, and she doesn't want to change anything.
The Emperor Taishang sighed and waved his hand, "It's all my own people here, and I'm not afraid to let you know that the salt of my dynasty has always been in the hands of the prime minister, and it was okay at the beginning, but in recent years, he has become more and more bold, and he doesn't take Yi'er in his eyes, and it is also for this reason that Yi'er is not good at making too much trouble with him, he has always wanted Yi'er to let his girl into the palace, Yi'er disagreed, and has been deadlocked." ”
Bai Xiyan can be regarded as insightful, "Then can't you take back his power?" ”
Isn't this kind of thing just a word from the emperor?
"Things are not as simple as you think, if it weren't for the help of Dingguo Gong over the years, Yi'er doesn't know how difficult it is, many people in the court are on his side, Yancheng is his people, we have also sent many people over, but it has not been successful, there are not many people who can make salt in my court, if there is that recipe, we don't have to be so jealous of him, but the difficulty is difficult in this salt-making recipe, in case he moves, the salt in my court can't be supplied, and the people can't eat it, I'm afraid it will cause turmoil!"
"And if I have a way to make salt, will I be able to help you solve this problem?" Bai Xiyan saw that the emperor had a sad face, and he couldn't bear it for a while, so he said quickly.
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard her words, and then laughed.
"Where is the matter as simple as you think, there are few people in the whole country who can make salt, and even if there is, they are bought by the prime minister and hidden tightly."
Bai Xiyan saw that the topic had been opened, his eyes rolled, and he said, "I've heard how to make salt, but I don't know if it's right or not, and I haven't tried it." ”
"Xi'er, yours is real?" Ding Guogong asked excitedly.
Bai Xiyan nodded, "That's right, but I haven't tried it, I've only heard it, and I don't know if it's good or not."
"Xi'er, this is not a problem, are you sure?" Father Bai asked with a serious face.
Zhao He sat next to Bai Xiyan and held her hand tightly, he knew that his daughter-in-law's must be true, if he was not sure, his daughter-in-law would not come out with this, others didn't know, he knew that his daughter-in-law was amazing!
"Dad, I've only heard of people, so I have to try if it works." After all, she had only read it in a book and had not practiced it, but she believed that all the people sitting here were smart people, and she was only responsible for coming out, and they had to study how to operate it.
"Good, good, hahaha! Xi'er is quick to formula, let's try it when we go back, whether it succeeds or not, grandpa won't blame you. ”
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, they don't want to miss it.
"Okay, I'll write it down in a moment and let you study it."
After the salt making was over, Zhao He told Father Bai about the inn again.
Father Bai thought for a moment and said, "We'll take a look in a while, and then decide." ”
"I listen to Daddy." Zhao He hurriedly agreed.
After eating, it's time to get busy with everything.
Everyone didn't come back until dinner was almost in the evening, and it was worth worrying that the work in the field was over.
Bai Xiyan also gave the last three sets of rewards as agreed.
The rest also won some gadgets, and everyone held them in their hands and laughed non-stop.
Lying on the bed at night, Bai Xiyan leaned on Zhao He's arms, thinking of his affairs today, and asked worriedly.
"Zhao He, what's wrong with your father today?"
Zhao He was originally holding his daughter-in-law, and his heart had some ripples, and since his daughter-in-law was pregnant, the two have never been intimate.
Sleeping with his daughter-in-law every night, he is really happy and uncomfortable.
"Daddy, those cows can't work, they're not worth much, but those sheep are good."
"And the cows can't work?" Bai Xiyan asked in surprise.
"Hmm." Zhao He took his daughter-in-law's white and tender hand and said in a low voice, "Dad's cow is not used for work, but for producing milk, so we can't talk about it." ”
Milk production?
Could it be a cow?
Thinking of this possibility, she was overjoyed, knowing that she had been here for so long, and she really missed the taste of milk.
"Then delay a few more times, we are not in a hurry."
"Daddy too." Zhao He remembered Father Bai's words and smiled.
"School" Bai Xiyan smiled, "Dad must have an idea, we will do whatever he wants." ”
