Splendid little maid

Chapter 72
Now it was almost half a month before the east courtyard was closed, and I was afraid that someone from the outside would make trouble, so I had to guard against it, and it was necessary to find someone to guard it.

Fuzhu went back to the threshold to do needlework, her outstretched little feet flicked.

Chen Xi turned his head to look at the gate of the courtyard with half the door, and he was ashamed. He didn't have time to deal with it for the time being. Anyway, this door can't prevent anything, so let's do it for now.

She turned around with her things in her arms and walked quickly towards the small yard, which required the use of the kitchen.

The young master saw her come and go in a hurry, and was in a hurry all day long.

Of course, he also knew that she was busy working for the East Hospital, but he also wanted to help out. After all, he knew that the other party was still injured, so he followed closely.

I've had enough reading in the morning, so I might as well see what I can help.

Chen Xi knew that the young master was coming, but he didn't take it too seriously, thinking that it's good for him to relax, as his temper of reading all day long will only become more and more boring.

Not to mention the officialdom, he even had big problems with normal interactions with ordinary people.

Chen Xi didn't wait for him, and walked quickly to the well in the small courtyard on his own.

The young master also quickened his pace.

Yu'er and Linglong were still busy around the yard, so they were not in the yard.

Chen Xi found the bucket by the well, saw that there was still some clear water at the bottom of the bucket, and poured the handful of soil and rocks into it with a splash.

Feel free to throw the leaves aside.

The young master came over without making a sound, but when Chen Xi was about to fetch water from the bucket, he reached out to take the bucket. Chen Xi saw that he was quite considerate, so he let him go.

At any rate, he has been raised for quite a few days. As long as a half-child of this age can eat enough, he will not be slow to recover, and his strength is more or less raised.

The young master threw the wooden bucket down the well, and he could lift it up to [-]% by pulling in the rope with all his strength.

Seeing him pouring water into the salt soil, he poured the bucket about half full.

Chen Xi hurriedly shouted: "Enough is enough, don't let them all fall down, I will add something later."

She has watched documentaries and popular science videos before, and she still doesn't know how to refine refined salt, but she remembers a few specific methods.

Coarse salt seems to contain a lot of poisonous substances. People who eat it will definitely damage their bodies, especially the teeth and mouth. That's why people in the past had a short life span.

But later the ancients also developed a refining method, which has three steps.

Inject water to dissolve, filter and cook.

Chen Xi didn't remember the specific process, but she just tried it based on her own feeling.

If it fails once, she can try a few more times, anyway, she has enough patience.

The young master watched the little girl circle around a bag of earth and stones, soaking them in water, looking for charcoal, looking for small gravels made by Linglong fish from digging up the soil, and then looking for a sieve to remove them. Sieve out some gravel from the soil.

Seeing that Chen Xi brought over another empty bucket and wrapped it with cloth to seal it, he couldn't help being curious, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Chen Xi was busy making the filter container. Hearing this, he remembered that he hadn't told him about it yet, so while sealing the barrel, he briefly told him about it.

Before the young master was shocked by the fact that salt can be refined in the soil, he was shocked by the fact that she wanted to sell salt privately, and couldn't help asking her in a cold voice, "Do you know what crime is selling private salt? It's a big crime to lose your head!"

There was a little trembling in his words, he actually wanted to ask if such a risk was worth it?
Chen Xi clicked his tongue when he heard the words, and said with a smile without raising his head: "How can you catch a tiger if you don't enter the tiger's lair? What's the use of coveting life and fearing death? Naturally, I know what I dare to do."

She was already mentally prepared.

On the day when something really happened, they would not be confessed, let alone implicated.

Chen Xi sealed the mouth of the new wooden barrel before standing up and facing the young master's gaze, he said: "How can you make money without this? How can you make so much money by making connections? How can it be enough? Want to do this."

She still has a lot of ideas that she hasn't done yet.

Now the discovery of salt mines is no more than a windfall, but a shortcut.

After all, if you really want to do anything, you have to have the first pot of gold. Her net worth is spent on buying self-defense equipment, which shows that no matter where she is, she needs money.

Besides, she doesn't do much, and it's impossible to reach the amount that violates the balance of this country. As long as she is careful to avoid danger, it is still feasible to think this way.

Chen Xi explained her thoughts in detail again, and let him go out and pass this place across Minglu, wouldn't that be enough?Right now it's just a quick money transition.

People have to know how to adapt.

How can you live by following the rules so stupidly?

It's not about doing anything outrageous.

Moreover, it is very problematic that this place even controls the edible salt so strictly.

Either the extraction method is troublesome and the quantity is too small, or the amount of salt is wanted to be controlled, fearing that it will be hoarded by some unscrupulous people to disrupt the market and support the army behind the scenes.

Although there should be a reason, Chen Xi still felt that the amount given to each person was too small.

Judging from Zhang Han's three mouths, the amount given to each person can only barely meet the physical needs.

Miserable.

It is also miserable for the common people.

Look at the things that wealthy people can have through the back door. Look at the Huang family, there is no shortage of salt at all. Is it really possible to use salt so lavishly based on the population?

But ordinary people may find it much more difficult if they want to, and they can only endure it if they have no way out, or they will take the risk to buy it like Zhang Hansan.

Chen Xi felt that there seemed to be no such thing as mineral salt here. If her incident broke out in the future, it would be convenient for the people to have salt in the soil.

If the reason for the insufficient amount of common people's salt is that it is too difficult to extract edible salt, then isn't her method just right to solve this problem?

As for the issue of market balance and worrying about the raising of soldiers by those with ulterior motives, since the higher-ups know this method of producing salt, they will of course take control of it as soon as possible.

Chen Xi is just trying something new as the first person to eat crabs.

Maybe something really happened, she found that this might be worth it with merit?

of course.

She will also pay close attention to it, who wants to be arrested if she can live in peace?
Chen Xi will not easily let something happen to her, and the decisions she makes will not implicate other people. She is an adult and can be responsible for the choices she makes.

However.

It's normal for the young master to be worried.

Chen Xi just comforted him and said: "Well, well, well, I will be flexible depending on the situation. I won't sell all of this, but I will sell it together with other things."

It's safer to pretend to be a vendor who buys goods.

The young master just kept his face cold, pursed his lips and insisted: "It's not worth it for you to take risks for me like this."

Chen Xi laughed and said, "Not only for you, but also for my own future."

She wasn't lying.
