Chapter 127 Ice Making
Qibao said: "How can that be done? One code will be one code, and it will be deducted from the pill money."

Shopkeeper Hong smiled and said, "Well, since the girl said so, I'll accept it." He thought that it was up to him whether to take the deduction anyway, and the master also specifically asked him to take more care of this girl. Even if he doesn't accept the money, the master won't be angry.

Qibao said: "Then we won't disturb Grandpa Hong. We still have some things to deal with at the barbecue restaurant, so we'll leave first."

Shopkeeper Hong nodded and sent the three of them out the door again. He didn't turn back to the medicine shop until the carriage had gone far.

As soon as Qibao entered the barbecue restaurant, because it was not yet dinner time and the stove was not lit yet, the temperature was almost the same as the temperature outside.

Shopkeeper Zhang was overjoyed when he saw his boss coming. Did he think that his boss had come up with a solution so quickly?So he immediately greeted him.

After a few people sat down, the old man couldn't help but ask: "Qibao, why did you buy so much saltpeter at once? Can this thing solve the problem of the barbecue restaurant?"

Qibao smiled and said, "Grandpa, you are right, it is indeed possible."

When Uncle Xu heard this, he felt incredible and said, "What does this have to do with medicinal materials? I really can't figure it out."

The old man said: "If you could figure it out, with this kind of brain, our family would already have enough food and clothing, why would we have to worry about Qibao?"

Uncle Xu touched his head nonchalantly and said nothing.

Qibao said: "Shopkeeper Zhang, go get a basin of water. I can use it."

"Yes, I'll go right now."

After a while, shopkeeper Zhang brought a basin of water and placed it on the table.

Qibao took some saltpeter and put it into the water. When all the saltpeter was dissolved in the water, the water in the basin began to slowly change.

Uncle Xu exclaimed: "The water is frozen and it's still cold!"

The old man was also a little surprised. He stretched out a finger and poked it, and found that it was indeed ice. He felt a little unbelievable and said, "This is really the most amazing thing I have ever seen. Since you can make ice cubes in summer, , my eyes have been opened today.”

Qibao said: "Putting this saltpeter into water can absorb a lot of heat from the water, causing the water to turn into ice."

Shopkeeper Zhang was very excited. With this method of making ice, he was worried about not having any business.

So the flatterer said: "My boss is really amazing. I have never seen any young lady who is as talented and knowledgeable as our boss. I really admire her."

Qibao was speechless. Everyone knew the principle of saltpeter in the previous life, but every house had a refrigerator and no saltpeter was needed. However, in this ancient time, no one probably knew that saltpeter could make ice.

Qibao said: "I bought a lot of saltpeter. From now on, I will put a few more basins of ice in the hall at noon every day, so it won't be so hot."

"Yes, I understand how to do it." Shopkeeper Zhang said happily.As long as the business in the store is good, his salary will also go up.Qibao thought that summer barbecue would go best with cold drinks. The ice problem was solved, and fruits were grown at home. Then he would build a counter specifically for making juice next to the counter, which would provide another source of income.

Qibao planned to go back and think about it carefully, discuss it with his family first, and listen to their opinions.

The problem of the barbecue restaurant has been solved. Before leaving, he told shopkeeper Zhang that when the saltpeter was used up, he would go to Leshan Pharmacy to get it. If anyone asked about it, he would find an excuse to stop it.

Qibao thought that his family's business was getting bigger and bigger, and his family needed to do everything by themselves, so it was time to buy some servants.

Qibao expressed his thoughts. The old man and the others had long thought about such a day and agreed. After all, the family was different from before. You should enjoy a certain kind of life at a certain height.

The three of them came to a place specializing in selling people. When Ren Yazi saw someone coming, he knew that there was business coming. He immediately came forward with a smile on his face and said: "You three are here to buy people, right? I'm a little girl." There are all of them, do you want me to call them out and let you pick and choose?"

The old man said: "Okay, if there is something suitable I will buy it."

The smile on the man's face became even brighter and he said, "Okay, I'll have everyone call over here." After saying that, he ordered the young man on the side to bring everyone over.

After a while, the young man came over with a group of men, women and children. It seemed that they had been taught. Everyone lined up in a few lines and stood there with their heads lowered. They were also wearing pudding clothes.

Ren Yazi smiled again and stepped forward and said: "The slaves I have here are all carefully trained. There are no ones who don't understand the rules. You can choose with confidence."

Qibao didn't take her words to heart. He looked at this group of people as if they were items in a shopping mall for people to choose from. Of course Qibao would not pity them like the Virgin Mary. Everyone's life is different. Some people are born to be superior, while some people are born to be as humble as ants. This is the law of this world.

Qibao picked a few people who looked quite honest. He planned to choose a maid for each of his grandma, mother and two aunts, and a servant for each of his father. He also wanted to have a few brothers. Then just pick a few rough ones.

Among the people chosen by Qibao, there was a woman who suddenly knelt down and said: "Please, Master, I have a two-year-old daughter. Please let me take my daughter with me. My daughter is still young, she can't I don’t have a mother!”

Before Qibao could speak, the man Yazi said: "What's wrong? What's going on? It's your blessing to be chosen by this distinguished guest. Your daughter is only two years old, what can she do? Just keep her here until she grows up. It can also be sold.”

When the woman heard this, she cried even harder, kowtowed to Qibao and the others, and said, "Please, please buy my daughter too. I am just a relative, wuwu." "

Qibao asked: "Your woman is only two years old, where is your husband?"

The woman sobbed and said: "This slave has lost her parents since she was a child. She was a child bride bought by her husband's family. She has been living a life of being beaten and scolded. When she was old enough, she married their son. But when I was born, After I gave birth to my daughter, my parents-in-law treated me even more harshly. They disliked me for giving birth to a girl. I have been enduring it for the sake of my daughter. However, my husband hooked up with a widow six months ago and made her pregnant. My mother-in-law I disliked us mother and daughter even more. I firmly believed that the widow must have a son in her belly. In order to give the widow and the grandson in her belly a right, they cruelly sold me. Fortunately, they disliked my daughter and sold me too. Otherwise, I will know what kind of life my daughter will have in the future."

After hearing this, the old man said angrily: "There are still people like this who are worse than animals. What happened to my daughter? My family is short of daughters. Don't worry, we bought both you and your daughter!"

When the woman heard this, she was stunned for a long time, kowtowed happily, and said: "Thank you, master, thank you, master. I will definitely work hard in the future and live up to the great kindness master has shown to us mother and daughter."

Qibao said: "You should get up first. Where is your daughter? Bring your daughter with you."
