The safety and comfort of traveling through farming

Chapter 71

On the second day after returning to the Great Wasteland, Fu Shi and He Tao went to the shop in the town.Because there was no market, there were no customers in the shop. The lobby brother Fu Lei was dozing off on the recliner, and Fu Shi went up and pushed him: "Lord brother!"

"Hey, just look at it, look at it..." Fu Lei got up and said loudly. Halfway through the speech, he saw Fu Shi and He Tao patted his head and said embarrassedly: "I thought the guests came to the door!"

"Where's Second Uncle?" He Tao looked around but couldn't find Fu Quan.

"There is a fair in the stone field today. Dad took the second and third brothers there. Sit down, why do you have time to come today?"

Fu Quan is no longer satisfied with waiting for customers to come to his door. When there is no market in Liushu Town, he will lead his sons to wander around nearby towns. It is luck to receive good things. It doesn’t matter if they don’t. To spread the reputation, let the orion medicine farmers in the nearby towns know that there is such a shop in Liushu Town that specializes in collecting local products.

"Brother Hall, has anyone from Qingshan visited our shop these days?" He Tao asked.She originally wanted to talk to Fu Quan about the hot sauce. This business is not a one-time deal. If it is done well, the Fu family will have a fairly stable income in the next ten years.

"Yes, yes, Dad negotiated a big deal with them, and Dad also said that he will go to your place to talk about it when you come back!"

"Ah?! What kind of business is that?" He Tao was startled—did the second uncle also discover the charm of hot sauce?

"Fur! People in Qingshan have accumulated a lot of fur, just wait for us to go down the mountain to exchange for food after the harvest! Father said, your grain in Yunshui Village is going to be sold anyway, you might as well sell it directly to the people in Qingshan , I’ll wait for you to come back and talk to you about it!”

"Oh." He Tao nodded, and then he and Fu Lei brought a letter to Fu Quan, asking him to remember to sit in the Great Wasteland when he returned.

Fu Lei mentioned Yunshui Village, and the couple decided to stop by Liu's house in Yunshui Village to learn about the crops.

Father Liu and Liu Shu father and son were quite surprised when they saw them. This was the first time the owner came to the house after renting the land. At first they thought there was some accident, and they were a little bit panic-stricken.I heard that they only came to see the crops before they felt relieved, took them to the field, and said that this year, the harvest will definitely not be bad.

After seeing the plump ears of wheat with their own eyes, He Tao and Fu Shi were very satisfied, and offered to lend the ox cart to Liu's family for free if they needed it during the busy farming season. The father and son were naturally very grateful.

When the couple returned to the Great Wasteland, they happened to meet Mrs. Rong coming out of their house.

The corner of He Tao's mouth twitched. Ever since Mrs. Rong met Nianzu once, she took advantage of the gap between building the house and ran to their house every three days, with all kinds of excuses on her face. The most common one was to ask for water. Drinking——Actually, it was to see Nianzu, and the frequency has been getting higher and higher since then, she seems to be quite satisfied with Nianzu.

In fact, after a few times of contact, He Tao has already lifted his vigilance against the old lady Rong, and found that although the old lady looks like the big Zhou family, her personality is quite similar to the second aunt Wu's, neither meek nor aggressive , just right.

For Nianzu who is an orphan, it would be quite nice to have such a mother-in-law, but although elders play a big role in marriage, they are not the only decisive factor.Nianzu's own wishes, and what Rong Zhuxue thinks, two points so far no one knows.

Nianzu is still young!Even if he complied ignorantly now, who can guarantee that he will not regret it when he grows up?
Therefore, as long as Granny Rong didn't plan to bring this matter up for a day, He Tao was going to be blind for a day, silently attributing Granny Rong's investigation to the behavior of getting along with neighbors.

"Grandma Rong, please sit down for a while..." He Tao said polite words with a smile on his face.

"I don't want to sit down anymore, I have to go back to see the little devils at home!" Grandma Rong waved her hand and left.

As soon as He Lian saw He Tao, she couldn't wait to tell her that Mrs. Rong not only came, but also gave away things.It is said that Rong Zhuxue went up the mountain to pick a lot of wild green plums some time ago, some of them were dried and made into dried black plums, which were used to cook sour plum soup, and the other half used rice wine as raw wine to brew two large tanks of green plum wine. I also sent a copy.

Is this showing the virtuousness of her own girl, or is she buying off her "mother-in-law" who became a monk halfway through?This idea flashed through He Tao's mind, she didn't think about it at all - it's useless to figure it out, and she couldn't change the old lady's mind, so she put everything aside and started to taste with Fu Shi and He Lian. Let Zhuxue's craftsmanship come.

"It's really delicious!" He Tao drank a bowl of green plum wine in one go.Because it is brewed with rice wine, the alcohol content is not high, and the taste is sour and sweet. It is better to say that it is alcoholic juice than wine!

He Lian also nodded to express that Rong Zhuxue's craftsmanship is good.

"It's almost like sugar water. Sweet things don't quench your thirst. It's better to drink cold water from the well!" Fu Shi, a big man, has no feelings for this kind of drink with negligible sweetness and sourness. Like, drinking bowl after bowl.

"It would be better if it was iced!" He Tao said with a little regret.It would have been nice to have orange juice and ice!Mix orange juice and plum wine four to one, add a few ice cubes to stir, and drink it all in one gulp. This is what He Tao liked to do most in the summer in his previous life. It is estimated that there is no hope of repeating it in this life...

Daqi's technological level is still unable to produce that kind of orange juice with a strong flavor of additives, nor has he developed a way to make ice in summer.

Summer ice making? !
Glauber's salt to make ice? ! ! !
She just said, she always felt that she seemed to have missed some key information recently!

She remembered what Old Madam Cheng said when she gave her milk for external application: "It contains Glauber's salt, which has the effect of moistening dryness, softening hardness, clearing fire and reducing swelling. If it’s gone, you can change it to a medicine pack, this one can be used repeatedly, but it’s not worth the money, anyway, it’s only used for a few days, if you think it’s not clean after repeated use, just go to the pharmacy and buy some… ..."

He Tao recalled an anecdote that a male colleague told her during a dinner party: "When I was in high school, the classroom in our class had a bad orientation. It was exposed to the sun from morning to night, and my position was in the dead corner of the fan. I didn't enjoy the wind." Not to mention, I was always annoyed by the creaking sound. In summer, it was like being tortured. It was so hot that my head would explode! It was unspeakable! Big ice, small ice, mineral springs frozen into ice Water can’t cool down at all. At that time, I just learned that when sodium nitrate melts into water, it absorbs heat and can be used to make ice cubes. What did the teacher say at the time? Ice cream was actually invented by the Chinese , but it was learned by foreigners and carried forward, saying which dynasty our great ancestors have mastered the method of making ice in summer, called Glauber's salt to make ice, and Glauber's salt is sodium nitrate! I heard it at the time I thought about it, I thought it would be cool to make a big ice cube with sodium nitrate, put it under the desk, and emit air-conditioning continuously, it would be comparable to an air-conditioned room... I can't stop when I think about it I stopped, and I secretly brought two pots, one big and one small, to school. I put the small one in the big one, filled both of them with water, and put sodium nitrate in the water in the big pot, thinking about absorbing it when the water melted. Doesn’t the water in the hot pot turn into ice cubes?… At that time, I put all my thoughts on this, and then I was caught by the math teacher, telling me to wash my feet in class! I’ll go At that time, I wanted to tell him, wash your sister, I am copying the glorious history of our ancestors! Hey, it’s a pity that the copy was not successful, and he died before he was born. In the end, he was punished by the head teacher for a week because of this. The toilet is simply a dark history of my high school days, and now when I hold a high school reunion, some people ask me if I am opening a foot-washing building..."

The principles are readily available, and the raw materials are not rare...

"Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law..."

He Tao came back to her senses and saw Fu Shi was waving his hands in front of her eyes, and she said angrily, "What are you doing?"

"You're the one doing it. I didn't answer after calling you several times, and the green plum wine also made you drunk..." Fu Shi poked her.

"Stone, can I buy ice cubes in summer?" He Tao asked him.If not, wouldn't they have an extra source of income? !Lately, fortune has been rolling in, and I can't stop it!
"Yes!" Fu Shi nodded with certainty.

"Can you buy it?" He Tao said "ah" immediately.

"Aren't you happy that I can buy it? Don't you want to drink iced plum wine?" Fu Shi asked her back.He has become used to He Tao's whims from time to time, especially his pursuit of eating has never stopped.

He Tao pursed her lips and said, "What's so fun, I can do it myself, so why buy it!"

"Do it yourself?" Fu Shi was a little puzzled, and said doubtfully, "Our house doesn't have an ice cellar, and we haven't stored ice in winter. How can we have one at home?"

When he said that He Tao had come back to life again, he asked excitedly, "Can't you make ice yourself? Just turn water into ice?"

"Anyway, what I know is that those very rich people will dig deep cellars, and the colder they go down, the ice saved in winter can be used in summer." Fu Shi rubbed his head and said, "What did you say? Well, I haven't heard of it, it sounds like a magic trick, how can there be such a magical thing..."

Yes, there is such a miraculous thing - and the key clue is now attached to your daughter-in-law and my chest!

He Tao secretly remembered this matter in her heart, and she didn't intend to say it first—wouldn't it be embarrassing if she boasted a lot but didn't succeed?She is a liberal arts student through and through, chemistry and so on are not from the same country as her!

He Tao clenched her fists, she would be sorry if she didn't bring out the ice cubes to go through a journey!
