Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

The fall of Fengxian means that there is no one on the front battlefield of Qingzhou to share the pressure for Nanyang. The rebels can pass through Fengxian and penetrate deep into the rear of Qingzhou. They can also go around to the rear of Nanyang and wrap up Nanyang's dumplings.

If no miracle occurs, the fall of Nanyang is only a certainty.

This is a huge event.

The most important thing is that his term has not yet expired.

This news will definitely not be kept secret for long.

There is already a rebel named Chen Mo outside the city. When the news of Fengxian's fall reaches the county town, it's uncertain how many people will rebel.

Moreover, before the fall of Fengxian, many refugees went south.

By then the county town will also be in chaos.

Chang Yuan was able to become the magistrate of Pingting County with a long-term vision. He quickly thought about the chain reaction of this matter and said immediately: "Here comes someone."

"grown ups."

"Go and inform the Wang and Yi families that I will entertain them at a banquet at Wanhe Tower tonight."

"promise."

"Also, go and call Commander Sun here. I want to recruit local heroes."

…

Fuze Village.

Chen Mo didn't know that Fengxian had fallen. He had people build an earthen kiln for burning quicklime in the village and had people work overtime to burn the shells into quicklime.

In addition, Chen Mo left the work of boiling salt water and processing quicklime into lime milk, as well as the precipitation of lime milk after adding salt water, and the subsequent boiling work, Chen Mo was entrusted to different people.

The reason for this is to prevent someone from leaking a complete set of steps for refining coarse salt.

The final issue of proportion was exclusively controlled by him.

As for Han Wu, who had seen the process once, Chen Mo was not worried.

In less than two days, two hundred kilograms of coarse salt was refined.

It was still Hu Changsheng and Zhang He who took the people there.

Chen Mo asked them to bring twenty more people to follow.

One day after Hu Changsheng and the others left, the weather suddenly changed and it started to rain continuously.

The continuous spring rain is not just talk.

The work of building the cottage has stopped for the time being.

Chen Mo temporarily transferred the villagers from the construction team to the fishing team.

The construction of cottages can be suspended, but fishing cannot be stopped for a day.

It rained continuously for three days.

In these three days, Chen Mo's cultivation speed slowed down, but did not stagnate.

When he was free, Chen Mo tinkered for a while, and after several failures, he finally came up with a simple distillation equipment.

He took a bamboo hat and a raincoat and went to the mountain to pick some wild flowers himself.

In the kitchen, Han Aniang and Song Min squatted on the ground, carefully picked the flowers from the branches, put them into a wooden basin filled with water, and cleaned them.

"Uncle, are you eating these flowers?" After washing the flowers, Han Anniang shook them dry and put them in bowls. Watching Chen Mo lighting a fire, she knew that some flowers could be fried and eaten. not bad.

"Sister-in-law, just watch it."

Chen Mo took the high-strength wine brought back by Zhang He last time, poured half of the wine into the pot, then broke the washed petals into the pot, stirred them for a while, and mixed them with the wine.

Han Aniang and Song Min couldn't understand what he was doing. They only knew that within a short time, a unique aroma filled the kitchen.

Under the strange looks of the two women, Chen Mo took the distillation equipment he made, boiled half of the petal water in the pot, and placed it in the small pot on the distillation equipment.

Because the distillation equipment made by Chen Mo was not particularly large, Chen Mo could only use an oil lamp, light it and put it under a small pot to heat it again.

As the water evaporated little by little, Chen Modu refilled the oil lamp twice.

Finally, Chen Mo got less than half a bowl of condensate from a jar of high-strength wine.

The size of a rice bowl.

And this small half bowl of condensate is perfume.

"Smell it." Chen Mo said to the two girls with a smile.

Han Anniang and Song Min came up to smell it one after another, and then said in unison: "It smells so good."

"Uncle, what kind of flower wine is this?" Han Anniang had never used perfume, so the first thing she thought of was not perfume, but wine made from wild flowers.

It is not uncommon for people to use chrysanthemums, osmanthus, roses, peach blossoms and other flowers to make wine.

And Chen Mo looked like a winemaker just now.

Chen Mo dipped his fingers in some floral water, and then flicked it on Han Anniang's hair.

"Uncle, what are you doing?" Han Anniang pouted, with a bit of anger in her eyes.

"Sister-in-law, this is not wine, but perfume." One drop was not enough. Chen Mo dipped a few more drops in and flicked them on Han Anniang's hair. Then he got closer and sniffed, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "It's really quite good. fragrant."

Han Anniang's cheeks were slightly red, she lifted her hair and smelled it. It was indeed very fragrant.

What woman doesn't love beauty? Han Anniang just didn't have the conditions before.

After learning that it was perfume, Han Aniang also reached out to dip a few drops into it with a bit of smugness, and applied it on the back of her hand.

Chen Mo wanted to say that this is not how perfume is used, but then she thought that the perfume in this bowl was not some messy chemical process, but a real natural perfume. It would be fine even if she applied it. She could use it however she liked.

"Uncle, does it smell good?" Han Aniang stretched out her hand.

"Smells good." Chen Mo said as he grabbed Han Anniang's hand, first lowered his head and kissed the back of the hand, and then sucked Han Anniang's little finger.

Han Aniang's face turned red instantly, and she was about to say something, but Chen Mo pulled her into his arms, gently held her plump waist, and kissed her lips.

Han Anniang's body tensed up instantly and her cheeks became hot.

After their lips parted, Han Aniang quickly broke away and said angrily: "Uncle, is Min'er still here?"

"I didn't see anything." Song Min covered her eyes and said in a childish voice, but the blush on both cheeks betrayed her.

Han Anniang turned her head shyly, while Chen Mo rubbed Song Min's little head and said with a smile: "Little ghost head."

This was just Chen Mo's whim, adding a spice to a somewhat boring life.

"Sister-in-law, I gave this perfume to you." Chen Mo said.

Han Aniang only regarded it as a gift from Chen Mo and nodded shyly.

"By the way, sister-in-law, you have to use this perfume as soon as possible, otherwise it will lose its fragrance over time." Now Chen Mo doesn't have a container like a small porcelain bottle in his hand, so he can't store it well, so he just puts it there like this. If left in a bowl, the aroma will evaporate within two days.

After saying that, Chen Mo thought of something and immediately called someone to help him call Liu Gui.

After Liu Gui arrived, Chen Mo told him his request.

Liu Gui patted his chest to assure himself that there was no problem, and immediately went down.

It's April.

Because of the rain, Zhang He and the others were delayed for two days before returning.

In the morning, two mule carts and three donkeys loaded with goods immediately attracted the attention of many villagers.

Children followed in groups, laughing and watching the fun.

The villagers may not even realize that their children are more lively and agile than before.

Even though they themselves were still a little tired, their energy was much better than before.

No more debt.

Although I wasn’t full, at least I didn’t have to worry about running out of food.

What they don't know is that they have become dependent on Chen Mo subtly.

The motorcade had arrived outside the Chen Family Courtyard, and the children following behind had just left.

Because their parents had told them not to make noise or mess around in Master Chen Xian's house, and to do so with respect in their hearts.
