As the curtain was opened, the crowd looked out, only to find that the grass outside the tent was empty.

Shen Yinxing walked outside to inspect the circle, and then saw some clods of soil stained with red mud behind the tent.

But she didn't say anything, pretending not to know anything.

"Huh? Isn't Daddy out on guard? Why didn't you see him? Hazy Moon stretched out her head and looked out.

Shen Yinxing snorted: "Hmph, he won't be honest and sentry outside, it is estimated that he will be free in Changchun City." ”

Haoyue: "Uh...."

Although nothing unusual was found outside, in line with the principle of not exposing money, Haoyue still asked everyone to speak carefully, after all, the wall has ears.

The second girl patted her chest: "Oh, oops, blame me, blame me, this is happy, I don't know the north and the south." ”

Aunt Qi hurriedly received: "Yes, the wealth is not exposed, everyone must keep a low profile and don't make a noise." ”

"Mm-hmm" Haoyue also nodded and said, "Let's make a fortune in a muffled voice!" ”

Everyone nodded, no longer cheering, but everyone's faces were full of joy and excitement.

Haoyue set her eyes on the large iron cauldron that continued to boil.

At this time, there was still some yellowing liquid left in the large iron pot after taking the salt crystals.

Haoyue glanced at it, and then asked Xu Jia to continue to add fire to the iron pot.

Xu Jia scratched her head: "Sister Yue'er, this salt has been taken out, what else are we boiling?" ”

Haoyue smiled mysteriously: "The next two things to boil are more expensive than salt." ”

Hearing that the next thing to boil was more expensive than salt, Xu Jia's eyes lit up, and he threw off his arms and worked hard.

As the pot is boiled for a long time, the liquid in the pot becomes more and more viscous, and the color changes from earthy yellow to purple-black.

This purple-black liquid that resembles soy sauce is the brine, which is the thing used to order tofu.

However, the brine is poisonous, and most families will not keep it, because they are afraid that someone will accidentally eat the brine and die.

However, brine can also be used as fertilizer for the land, but now that he doesn't plan to farm, Hazuki doesn't think about it.

Haoyue asked Xu Jia to pour the brine into the jar and seal it well, and when there was a stone mill and soybeans in the future, he could make tofu and eat.

Hehe, thinking about being able to eat mapo tofu, bean curd, and tofu brain again, Haoyue is so happy.

After pouring the brine, a large number of light white and earthy yellow crystals appeared at the bottom of the iron pot, some of which were shaped like the tip of a needle and some were like interlaced dog teeth.

These needle-like powder crystals are the famous ones - nitrate.

Nitrate is a raw material used to make explosives, which has certain dangers.

However, if you want to use the nitrate in this iron pot to make explosives, you need to further purify.

Thinking about it, this nitrate is also quite precious, so Haoyue also collected it into the jar.

But hopefully there will never be a day when it will be useful.

All the refined salt was received into the crockpot, and Haoyue was afraid that the salt would get wet, so she asked the crockpot to be placed in a basket full of straw.

Everyone is also careful when they put the jar, holding the jar like a baby, for fear that one will accidentally fall.

Counting the days, there are still a few days before winter.

After the winter in Hebei, the weather is wet and cold, which is not conducive to the collection of salt soil.

All Haoyue plans to let everyone work crazy overtime these days, work for seven days and then lie down to earn a year.

The rest of the Xu family also has this intention, and they can earn money with white flowers, so that they can sleep continuously.

The matter of boiling salt will be handed over to Xu Jia and them to do, and Haoyue will go into the city to exchange this first batch of salt for silver.

The salt that Hebei residents ate before was all sea salt supplied by Gongsun's family, and no one had ever eaten the soil salt refined in the saline-alkali land, so Haoyue didn't know if the soil salt would be accepted.

And how is this soil salt priced? What is the market demand in the city? What kind of consumer group do you want to sell to? How can you sell at a good price?

Haoyue has never done business, and her head hurts a little when she thinks about these questions.

At this time, the second brother Xu Wei saw through Haoyue's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Sister Yue'er, is she having a headache how to sell salt?" ”

Hearing Xu Wei's question, Hao Yue remembered that he used to be a seller who traveled from south to north.

Haoyue's eyes lit up, great, ready-made talent!

"Then tomorrow, let's go to Changchun City to sell salt together!" Hazy Moon jumped up happily.

"Uh-huh!" Xu Wei nodded, his eyes were full of excitement and excitement.

.....

It wasn't until everyone dispersed that Xu Jingyang, who was full of alcohol, came back from outside with Xu Ajiu, still humming a little song leisurely.

"Humph! Stinky Daddy, after we are busy here, you are better, run out by yourself and have a good time! Haoyue glared at a pair of big watery eyes and complained.

"Yikes! Who said that I ran out and had a good time, I was inspecting the people's situation" Xu Jingyang rubbed his nose and pulled Xu Ajiu: "Emperor, you say, do I have a good job." ”

Xu Ajiu looked at his angry sister, and then at Daddy who winked at him, and chose to stop thinking: "Aba... Abba "

"Hmph, tomorrow, Daddy, you will go to Changchun City with us to sell salt." Haoyue crossed her hands on her hips, and her fierce milk appearance was really cute.

"Okay, okay, no problem, no problem, I know Changchun City." Xu Jingyang burped, then crossed the hazy moon and lay on the bed.

Smelling the smell of wine on Xu Jingyang's body, Hao Yue was even more annoyed in her heart.

She was very dissatisfied with Xu Jingyang's attitude, so she shouted at Shen Yinxing: "Auntie! You don't care about him! ”

Shen Yinxing snorted: "I don't want to care, I just want to kill him, if a lazy man like him were my soldiers, he would have been shot by me a long time ago, and he wouldn't have survived at all." ”

Xu Jingyang on the bed heard it, turned over, and mocked: "You are lazy, my brain is running all the time, and you are also diligent, and your brain is not driven at all." ”

Xu Jingyang may have drunk too much and dared to contradict Shen Yinxing, and then he pointed to his head: "I, I am diligent here, you, not here." ”

Seeing A-Niang's darkening face, Haoyue who was standing aside: "Uh....."

No, Daddy, if you drink wine and eat a peanut, you won't get drunk like this!

"Yue'er, I'll leave him tomorrow, what do you think?" Shen Yinxing, who was upside down with willow eyebrows, turned his head and asked Haoyue.

Haoyue shrunk her neck and said weakly, "Uh.... I think Daddy is fine..."

After speaking, Haoyue handed a broom to Shen Yinxing: "Auntie, my father doesn't teach, and my wife is wrong." ”

Then, Haoyue ran out of the tent with her brother in tow and quickly fled from the battlefield.

didn't run a few steps, and there was the sound of sticks falling behind him, followed by Xu Jingyang's wail....

Haoyue looked at the quiet starry sky and was in a particularly good mood.

Ah, what a good day.

I hope to go into the city tomorrow to sell salt, and I can sell it smoothly and at a good price.
