Wen Mian was very surprised, and also recognized that the saltpeter was placed in the large basin, his fingers have not been drawn from the small basin, and he can clearly feel the water is a little cold.

"Saltpeter ice?"

"Hmm." Wen Mianmian gave him the small stool he was sitting on, "Dad, let's wait together." ”

Wen Mian sat down, and saw Wen Mianmian continue to release nitrate into the basin, and at the same time she used a small clay jar to put half a tank of water, put the small jar into the large tank, poured enough raw nitrate into it, and poured water to drown the raw nitrate...

He looked curious, and at the same time put his other hand into the small tank, and after a while, the water began to freeze, and finally condensed into ice cubes.

"It's amazing."

The clerk was shocked to get ice cubes in such a simple way.

"Mianmian, where do you know the method?"

Wen Mianmian was touching her ice, and said the excuse she told Wen Lingxiao yesterday, "I just wanted to try it so much that I asked my brother for saltpeter, but I didn't expect it to be so easy." ”

She turned her head mysteriously, "Dad, this hot summer is coming, shall we sell ice?" ”

Seeing Bingcheng, the clerk naturally knew the profits, and asked softly, "Mianmian is short of money?" ”

Wen Mianmian nodded honestly, explained her idea of net worth, and said that the things on Zhenbao Street were good, and she had no money to buy them.

"Knowing that my father and brother have a lot of money, it's not good for us to always go to the idea of fighting next door, after all, there are a number of other people's, if we have our own money, it's another matter."

"It's a pity that I don't know how to do business, if I don't have to go on the horse and make money myself."

As soon as he said this, he felt distressed, he thought that he would not let his daughter suffer losses and grievances everywhere, and it would be enough for her to have no worries, ignoring that her daughter was older, and she had to have money in her pocket when she went shopping.

No wonder his daughters don't like to go out now, it's because he's too negligent.

"Dad has money, Dad will give it to you, and I'll send it to you in a while."

Wen Mianmian shook her head again and again, and at the same time she was moved and knew that her father had misunderstood, "I'm not in a hurry to use money, I just think it's good to have a way to make money." ”

He can give one or two hundred taels, but what about one or two thousand taels or one or two hundred thousand taels?

So, the money still has to be earned.

Wen Mian suddenly burst into tears, why is his daughter so distressing, no matter how painful it is, it is not enough.

Wen Mianmian stepped forward again and whispered about the gold dug up in the house, and Wen Mian's eyes instantly turned red again, "Where is the gold?" ”

"Next door, the condition is not good, I have to melt it and send it over."

"Good!" The clerk was overjoyed, and he said that he had seen two magpies chirping at him on his way this morning, and it turned out that he was happy.

Wen Mianmian whispered what had happened in the past few days since he left, and said that Fu Li had also joined the newspaper, "The sample has come out, but I don't know if it has been printed." ”

The clerk is relieved, and proud, how can his daughter be so capable, she is smart when she is young, and after being sick once, this wisdom is used on the blade, no wonder the abbot of Yuan'en Temple said that she has great blessings.

"Since the kid next door is back, then you don't have to pretend to be sick, don't worry about things outside, there is a father."

As he spoke, he got up, and his eyes fell on the ice again, "Dad has also done the ice-making thing." ”

"Dad also brought you a basket of fruits, you eat slowly."

Wen Mian went to the Han Courtyard to ask the old lady to say goodbye, the mother and son talked for a while, Wen Mian said the Liu family, his mother's attitude towards the Liu family is very subtle, because of this he has to say it clearly, "The emperor is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Liu family is too anxious, in the end, it is the son's foreign family, and the son will not let it go." ”

"Uncle's mind is clear to his son, and he can't guarantee whether he can listen to it."

The old lady flicked the string of jade beads in her hand, and the corners of her lips sneered, "Your uncle is not good at his ability but always wants to drill the camp, and his children and grandchildren are not outstanding, you have to keep an eye on it, don't let them make any trouble." ”

She had already understood the faces of her mother's family back then, but no matter how she said it, she was also her relative, and she still hoped that they would be safe and smooth.

"My son understands."

Seeing that the son glanced out of the house, the old lady asked, "I heard that the house is not rich, did your father take out the silver he took earlier?" ”

The old lady didn't know that the old man had lost all the money, just thinking that he still had a sum of money there, and the clerk nodded as usual, "It's all taken out, the cost was more some time ago, and it has been relieved recently." ”

The old lady nodded, "If it's not enough, just ask, I still have some here." ”

"I don't dare to touch my mother's body, the emperor has been rewarded recently, and the house is quite rich."

His mother's body is also his own little dowry, very little, where can he move, it is his incompetence as a son, which makes his mother worried.

The old lady reluctantly let go, "Your father is here, go and ask for peace." ”

Wen Mian was a little surprised, it was the first time in so many years that he heard his mother say to say goodbye to his father, didn't he have anything else going on in the past few days?

The old lady in the next room knew that her son had arrived at the Han Courtyard, and she didn't dare to come forward when she wanted to see her, "It's good to be here at this time." ”

"Father has something to look for Mianmian?"

The old lady was startled, and saw that the old man shrank his neck again, and quickly straightened his back again, "That kid comes to practice calligraphy every day, and he has made great progress, and he didn't come this afternoon and wanted to go and see it." ”

Wen Mian suddenly noticed that his father had changed a lot recently, and his back was straightened, as if he was taller.

"How's that handwriting?"

The old man took two pieces of paper from the desk, "I wrote it this morning." ”

The clerk read it carefully, and then walked straight to the desk and read the other words, "It's all written in Mianmian?" ”

He knows his daughter's words, even if he can't write a word against his will, but the words in front of him are like two people compared to the past, and he reluctantly took it.

The old man was a little proud, "The child is very hardworking, he comes to practice calligraphy every day, and he is very focused." ”

Wen Mian saw another word on the table, majestic, curiously picked it up, the old man was a little nervous, and said curtly: "I have nothing to write in my spare time." ”

Wen Mian felt that it was necessary for him to get to know his father again, this calligraphy, there are few people in Kyoto who can surpass him, right?

"Father, please bother to teach more in the future."

The old man's back straightened even more, "Don't worry, I don't hide my secrets." ”

Before leaving, Wen Mian said the tens of thousands of taels that he had been deceived again, "I didn't tell my mother about this, don't talk about it, and there is already a result, the 70,000 taels will be sent back in these two days." ”

The old man nodded again and again, and when he learned that the money was coming back, he was also happy, "Let your daughter-in-law keep the money." ”

He didn't dare to take care of the money anymore.

The clerk thought about it for a while and said, "When the time comes, I will send you a thousand taels, and this man should still have a few dollars on him." ”

The old man, who hadn't cried for a long time, had red circles in his eyes again, and he was moved.
