Su Hengyu came to Kuncheng at the tail end of spring, and when she left, Dawei was already in summer.

The climate in Kuncheng is suitable, even if it is not too hot in summer, and as soon as their team leaves Kuncheng and enters the nearby state capital, they realize that summer is really coming.

The dart masters of the Nanshan Dart Bureau have long been accustomed to such temperature changes, so they prepared early, Su Hengyu and his party had a lot of discomfort, and they almost suffered from heat stroke.

There was no way, Su Hengyu had no choice but to discuss with the southern leopard who led the team, and try to choose the morning and afternoon when the sun was not strong.

However, it is not sunny in the afternoon, but the temperature is a little higher than noon.

Many of the pickles they carry with them are easy to spoil at such a temperature, and Nanbao is still glad that they have cooperated with Su Hengyu, so they have instant noodles to eat.

When he and Su Hengyu met again, he also handed Su Hengyu a silver ticket of several thousand taels and said: "After we sent my brother's body back to Beijing, my eldest brother tried to use your recipe to make a lot of dough cakes and sell them. Seeing this, my eldest brother simply cooperated with some colleges. It is said that many scholars wanted to take the bread with them to the examination room to eat during the imperial examination. ”

Nanbao's eldest brother really has some business acumen, and he even did his business in the academy.

But Su Hengyu didn't care about these, as long as she could get the silver, she would do it.

Back to the point.

The problem of eating on the road and the group could only rely on instant noodles for the time being, but the weather was too hot, and Su Hengyu couldn't stand it while sitting in the carriage.

After thinking about it, when she passed through a town, she asked Xie An to go to the pharmacy to buy saltpeter and come back to make ice.

When the ice cubes were made, Su Hengyu didn't tell anyone where the ice came from.

Ice is a rarity these days, and only the wealthy of the family can enjoy ice cubes in the summer.

Even in Emperor Wei's palace, there are not many ice cubes that can be used, and now they are only used by the emperor and empress and a few favored concubines.

Because she knew the importance of the ice cubes, Mama Qin didn't ask too much, and even told the people below not to talk about this matter, if anyone dared to leak it more, let Yan Shen kill someone immediately.

is strictly loyal to Su Hengyu, and naturally will not let others fall into danger for her.

Su Hengyu on the southern leopard's side also asked people to send some ice, but he didn't say much, only told the other party to shut up if he wanted ice.

Nanbao is not stupid, there are good things to use, why should he push the benefits outward?

The group went all the way back to the capital, and when they arrived at the outskirts of Beijing, Su Hengyu and Nanbao said goodbye to them and then turned back to Zhuangzi.

The people in Zhuangzi got the news from Su Hengyu early and were already waiting for them at the intersection.

Su Hengyu didn't care about communicating with the stewards about the situation in the Zhuangzi, and washed it well under the service of the maids, and then slept until the afternoon of the second day, and then felt that most of the fatigue on his body had been swept away.

After she got up, Ziyun brought her food, it was a small wonton with chicken soup made by Ru Jun, and Su Hengyu's whole person finally came to life with a bowl of belly.

After filling up, Su Hengyu had time to ask the stewards for questioning.

Steward Qiao was the first to come to the door, and as soon as he came, he said to Su Hengyu with a smile on his face: "Great joy, master!" The farm tools you let us make are so easy to use, especially the curved plow, I don't know how much manpower has been reduced compared to before! I dare to say that this year's spring ploughing, no Zhuangzi has done it faster than us! ”

Steward Qiao didn't actually take the farm tools given by Su Hengyu to heart at the beginning, not to question Su Hengyu's ability, but she was a young lady in the house in the past, let alone farming, I'm afraid I didn't even know what the field looked like in the first half of my life.

Even if Su Hengyu said that this was the drawing he saw from the book, but if there were really any powerful farm tool drawings, the readers next to him would not be able to find it?

But no one expected that he just tried these farm tools in the grange according to Su Hengyu's instructions, and immediately realized that these things were good!

Steward Qiao didn't even bother to contact Su Hengyu, so he hurriedly asked the carpenter to order another batch, and signed a contract with him, not allowing the carpenter to make these things for others without his own permission.

Then he lent the surplus farm tools to the tenants, and did not want their money and grain, but let them come over to Su Hengyu in their free time to do side work in exchange.

After all, Su Hengyu is really a little too capable of tossing, and now Zhuangzi not only has to dig shrimp ponds, crab ponds and fish ponds, but also build orchards and gardens.

The "experimental field" in Su Hengyu's mouth also needs to be taken care of, and there are not enough people in Zhuangzi at all, and they are not knowledgeable about farming.

Su Hengyu was not there, and it was not good for Qiao to sell people back casually, so he could only trade with the tenants in this way, exchanging farm tools for their labor.

The tenants had only agreed to what would help them farm.

Besides, Su Hengyu had set the rules before leaving, but if the tenants were asked to come over to work, not to mention the wages, they would also be fed.

Many men are more willing to come to work for Su Hengyu, so that they can eat a few full meals.

Steward Qiao explained everything to Su Hengyu, and also told Su Hengyu about the work that the tenants used to work with farm tools.

Su Hengyu nodded and said: "You have done a good job, I have seen the good seeds I sent back, and you have taken good care of them, and you will give you thirty percent of the monthly money in the future." ”

Steward Joe was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth.

In addition to him, Steward Song also came over to talk about the business situation of "Hua Xiangrong".

Su Hengyu often exchanged letters with Wei Zining when she was away, and gave her a lot of fresh tricks, so these days, "Hua Xiangrong" is still the most popular place for women in Beijing.

It's just that because the weather is getting hotter and hotter these days, the ladies don't like to go out very much.

Su Hengyu nodded his chin when he heard this: "You don't have to worry about this, when I meet with His Highness in two days, I will solve this matter with her." ”

Now that she has made all the ice, it is not difficult to make some ice drinks and soil fans and put them in "Hua Xiangrong".

However, when she thought of the earth fan, Su Hengyu felt that she needed to open another treasure pavilion that specialized in rare objects.

She is still contributing to her business empire, and in the Hou Mansion, Su Baozhu, who has been officially engaged to Zhou Xun, also remembered this sister who she hadn't seen for a long time.

If nothing else, just because the emperor's holy birthday is approaching, many officials and foreign envoys have entered Beijing one after another to prepare for the emperor's birthday.

There happened to be a young man in the team who entered Beijing who fell into Su Baozhu's eyes, and after knowing the details of that person through Zhou Xun, the corners of her mouth hooked up a slight smile.

"It just so happens that my sister's marriage has not been settled, and if she wants to come to the son of the Zhizhou family, she should be satisfied, right?" Su Baozhu smiled sweetly, as if she was genuinely thinking about her sister.

is just a madman who has killed two wives, how can he coax his father and mother to let his sister marry him?

Or, let my sister fall into the water again and be saved by that son?

After all, she was almost pushed into the water by her sister at the beginning, and the little pain that her sister only suffered once was not enough to make amends for her sins.

Su Baozhu chuckled as if she remembered something interesting, and then casually beckoned the maid beside her to say something in a low voice.
