After The Divorce, I Became the Favorite of the Powerful Ministers

Chapter 78 This is really killing two birds with one stone

The two went home holding hands, followed by a big goose.

Xiao Hanzheng slept during the day, so he was not sleepy, so he lit an oil lamp and wrote a script.

Shi Qingluo was sitting across from his desk, writing plans for the sugar workshop, paint workshop, etc.

The two quietly wrote their own things, but the dim light illuminated them very warmly.

It was a little late, and when Shi Qingluo finished writing the plan, he shouted to Xiao Hanzheng, "Old Xiao, I'm sleepy."

Xiao Hanzheng finished writing this sentence in his hand, put down his pen and raised his head, "Then let's rest in peace together."

After the two of them washed up, they went to bed together.

Shi Qingluo touched the pillow and felt the breath of the people around him, and soon fell asleep.

Xiao Hanzheng reached out and brushed the broken hair scattered on her face for Shi Qingluo, and tapped her nose with her fingertips.

With a smile on his face, he quickly closed his eyes.

With his little daughter-in-law by his side tonight, sure enough, he fell asleep quickly.

No more insomnia like going out, or needing to take medicine to help sleep.

The next morning, Shi Qingluo was woken up by the heat.

I slept late last night, it was already dawn, and Xiao Hanzheng was not around.

When Shi Qingluo got up and opened the door, he saw Xiao Hanzheng practicing martial arts, very eye-catching.

When Xiao Hanzheng saw his little daughter-in-law come out, he didn't stop practicing martial arts and said, "I've already cooked the water for you to wash."

Now that the weather is hot, the little daughter-in-law will wipe her body with water in the morning and take a bath in the evening.

He is almost the same, otherwise the sweat will be uncomfortable.

Shi Qingluo smiled, "It's hard work, Brother Zheng!"

Kudos to Xiao Xianggong who got up early to help his daughter-in-law boil water.

She mixed warm water and cold water, wiped her body with a handkerchief, and she felt a lot more comfortable.

Nostalgic for modern air conditioners and fans.

It's a pity that the air conditioner can't be built. The fan can be built like a gourd, but there is no electricity. It has to be cranked by hand, which is also laborious.

If you can find a magnet, you can make a fan that rotates spontaneously without using electricity or hand cranking.

After she poured the water, she took out the "Crossing Collection" in the room and looked at it.

Sure enough, I found a recipe for making ice with saltpeter.

If you can't use air conditioners and fans, you can use a normal ice basin to cool down.

The rich and powerful also use ice basins to cool down, but because of the construction of ice caves, the ice accumulated in winter is used, and the price is very high if they want to buy them.

Shi Qingluo knew from the original body's memory that there was a saltpeter mine on the mountain near the Taoist temple, and a lot of sulfur could be found not far away.

This is also the reason why Laodao built the Taoist temple in a small rural mountain in Nanxi County.

He wanted to use saltpeter, sulfur, etc. to concoct alchemy, but he probably didn't expect to blow himself up to the sky.

After breakfast, the two went to the patriarch's house together.

He brought the special products that Xiao Hanzheng brought from Fucheng, and also paid back the money he owed.

He told the patriarch that he wanted to buy two pieces of land.

The patriarch knew that the two of them had the money given by the Wu family, and he was very happy to hear Xiao Hanzheng say that he made a lot of money from his writing book.

I just told Xiao Hanzheng to read more books, not to delay the imperial examination because of writing the script, and then to encourage him.

He also promised to go to the county town with Xiao Hanzheng tomorrow and go through the formalities for buying these two pieces of land.

After coming out of the patriarch's house, the two went to the family that owed money before, and paid back all the money that Xiao's mother had borrowed before.

Xiao Hanzheng told these people before he left that he would pay back the money when he came back.

After all, this is what my mother borrowed and owed, and these days I used tofu to pay for it, and Xiao Hanzheng still wants to pay it back by himself.

It's not that he is polite to the little wife, but that he should pay the money back.

Shi Qingluo didn't care about this. Anyway, it was only natural for her to repay her debts. Xiao Xianggong had to wait for him to repay it himself, so she didn't force it.

After paying back the money, Shi Qingluo pulled Xiao Hanzheng, "Brother Zheng, let's go to the Taoist temple, I'm going to bring some saltpeter back."

Xiao Hanzheng asked curiously, "Why do you move saltpeter?"

Shi Qingluo replied: "The weather is too hot, I want to get some saltpeter to make ice, and then put ice basins in our room and mother's room to cool down the heat."

Xiao Hanzheng was taken aback, "Can saltpeter make ice?"

Shi Qingluo nodded: "Of course."

"Okay, then I'll accompany you." Xiao Hanzheng is now practicing martial arts every day, his body has almost recovered, and his physical strength has also improved.

Bring some saltpeter back, no problem.

So the two of them went home first, carried two backpacks, and went up the mountain together.

On the way, Shi Qing said, "I have collected the ashes of my master and those Taoist boys. In two days, let's go to the county town and ask a Feng Shui master to help find a good place to build a tomb."

Xiao Hanzheng nodded, "Okay."

The old Taoist priest did not help his little daughter-in-law to carry the blame, and it was right to build a tombstone for him.

"I will go to the county town tomorrow to find a Feng Shui master."

After finding the saltpeter mine, Shi Qingluo asked Xiao Xianggong to dig first, while she went to the Taoist temple to water the corn and peppers.

After the water was finished, Xiao Hanzheng walked in with a basket of saltpeter on his back.

Seeing that she hoeed weeds after watering, "Are you growing vegetables?"

He always felt that when she did this, it should not be as simple as growing vegetables.

After all, he could also grow vegetables in his home, but she didn't.

Shi Qingluo didn't hide it, and winked at Xiao Hanzheng, "My master left some special seeds, I will plant them, and when they mature, they may bring a big surprise, or a good seed from God."

The old immortal master appeared and gave the corn seed at the Taoist temple. What a good excuse!

Anyway, even if the emperor sent someone to investigate, he wouldn't be able to find out anything, unless he went underground and asked the old way.

She took out corn, a high-yield food crop that was not very selective for local cultivation. She mainly hoped that when it was popularized in the future, more people could have enough to eat.

As for growing peppers, in addition to the benefits of interplanting with corn, the key point is that Shi Qingluo misses the taste of peppers.

Although she is not really addicted to spicy food in modern times, her daily meals are inseparable from chili peppers.

It happened to kill two birds with one stone, but at the right time, the old fairy master was asked to show his spirit, and she asked Xiao Xianggong to offer corn seeds and peppers.

In this way, I can register with the emperor and know that there is Xiao Xianggong, which will be more beneficial to the imperial examination in the future.

Moreover, the reputation of the people is also beneficial. Although it is the old immortal master who is responsible, but after all, it is the seeds they discovered, right?

Second, you can plant your own plants in an upright manner.

When Xiao Hanzheng saw her blink and heard the tone, she roughly guessed that she was preparing for something.

Although he didn't know what kind of good seeds and surprises it was, he felt that his little daughter-in-law would definitely not disappoint.

He didn't ask much, and said with a smile: "Then I'll wait and see, there are surprises growing in this field."

"Actually, if your master wants to show his spirit, it is better not to build a tombstone. I think it is possible to rebuild the main hall and set up a longevity plaque for him in the hall to enshrine his ashes."

"Not only can we come to burn paper and offer incense from time to time, but other well-known people who come here would have no problem if they want to offer incense, and the incense can continue throughout the year."

He added meaningfully, "Maybe it will show up every once in a while."

When Shi Qingluo heard this, his eyes lit up, "Old Xiao, you have a good idea."

The big guy is the big guy, he is so witty, and the little Xianggong is mighty!

That's really killing two birds with one stone.

Let the incense of the old Tao continue, and she can be worshipped and respected, and she can also have no psychological burden, and let the fairy master continue to carry the blame, ahem...
