Chapter 61 Making Ice from Saltpeter
Old man Jiang and the old lady had actually cooked the staple food for the second room, but what they didn't expect was that in just one afternoon, Jiang Changan would go into the mountains and cause such a big drama, which was more difficult than they had ever experienced in a lifetime.
The road we passed was thrilling.
The two old men spent the day either busy in the vegetable patch in the backyard or going to the fields to look for pig vegetables. After all, they still had to raise pigs and there was no time for rest.
Until Boss Jiang ran to the backyard and said in a strange way that Jiang Changan had been eaten by a wild boar. He lamented that the two of them had bet on the wrong thing. He also said that the second brother could teach children? You see, the happier you are, the faster you will die.
Old Man Jiang almost fainted from fright, and he and the old lady hurriedly ran to the foot of the mountain. As a result, they ran into a team pushing a giant wheelbarrow and a wild boar heading towards the village.
And his good granddaughter not only did nothing, but also made a giant wheel and hunted a huge wild boar.
The two old men were stunned. After caring about Jiang Changan, they followed the team to Zhang Orion's house because the wild boar had to be dealt with there.
Old Man Jiang is interested in giant wheels. He will never be able to build a wheel in his life. He must study hard and don't want to wait for a moment.
Mrs. Jiang, on the other hand, went to see wild boars. They have lived for more than fifty years and have never seen such a big pig. How fat must it be? How much money did the granddaughter make?
Looking at the peaceful Jiang Chang'an, Boss Jiang was in a daze. Why didn't the little fool die? He also hunted such a big wild boar. Is that possible for humans? But there were still three people, so he could only
It shows that he is very capable.
As a result, Old Man Jiang led a family of people who were watching the fun. As soon as they returned to the gate of the hospital, they heard Jiang Changan say that she was going to burn salt tomorrow. The old man almost jumped three feet high.
Although salt is usually produced by government salt merchants, given that Jiang Changan brought too many surprises and surprises, they were slapped in the face and numb every time they denied it.
So when Jiang Changan said he wanted to burn salt, they really believed it could be done.
If you can really burn salt, even if you can't sell it, it will be very good for your family to use it. You can also use the salt to make some pickles and sell it, which is also a good living.
"Daughter, are you serious?" Jiang Laoer also ran to watch the wild boar being killed. When he heard that salt would be burned tomorrow, he suddenly became uneasy.
"What?" What is really boiled? Jiang Changan had a question mark on his forehead. He had no idea what his father was talking about.
"That's right, where are you going to burn salt tomorrow? Dad will go with you." When witnessing a miracle, how could he be missing as the head of the household?
"That shouldn't work. Dad, you should go to the county town with Zhang Orion tomorrow, because not only will you sell wild boars, but you will also have Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng." Jiang Changan said.
He carried the sack next to him.
"Suck!!" Several gasping voices sounded at the same time.
The family hurriedly ran in the direction of Jiang Changan, "What? Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng?" Jiang Laoer was still confused.
Why was it that the hare girl could be thrown on the giant cart before, but she had to carry this big bag by herself? Not only Jiang Changan, but also Zhang Zhuzhu and Li Shushen did the same.
But it turns out that there are more precious precious medicinal materials in it? Fortunately, the villagers at that time were all focused on wild boars and wooden carts.
"Wild Ganoderma, Boss Yiduo, I also brought back its basswood, maybe we can try to grow Ganoderma.
But the ginseng is not very big, but there are a few of them." Of course, the largest one was placed in the space by Jiang Changan.
What else do you regret? Do you think you are talking about mushrooms and radishes? Is it a pity that it is not big? If you encounter one of these white treasures, it will be smoke from the ancestral grave.
"Ouch, I'm getting sick. Dad, why don't you come with me tomorrow?" The palm-sized Ganoderma lucidum made Jiang Laoer afraid to move rashly, so his father had to go and support him.
And the ginseng is not small, there are more than ten, right? Jiang Laoer has no idea that he can handle such a big deal. If he messes up, wouldn't he be unworthy of his daughter's hard work?
"Okay, I'll go tomorrow, Chang'an. Do you want to keep a piece of ginseng for your own use?" Anyway, with Ganoderma lucidum, I won't be short of money for the second house, so I have an excuse to spend the hundred taels.
It's better to save one's life. After all, life is much more important than money.
"Okay, let's keep one ginseng, and give the other ginseng to your grandparents to replenish your body."
"Hey, good, good, good boy." Old Man Jiang was so moved that he almost cried. He didn't expect that the two of them would not be able to enjoy the blessings of children, but they would enjoy the filial piety of their grandchildren, which would be a blessing in life.
The eldest and third bedrooms are just envious, and the little fool is so talented that they can't even get jealous. Let alone children, how many adults can compare with her?
"It's time to eat." At this time, Mrs. Yao shouted, and all the people in the second room moved to the main room where the two old people lived to eat.
"The Li family sent ten kilograms of meat, braised two kilograms in braise, killed a rabbit, cooked the remaining meat, and wrapped it with my parents' salt. I will make up for it tomorrow when Ling'er boils the salt.
But don’t put too much pressure on the child. The head of the family can go to the county tomorrow and buy some." Yao explained how to handle the ingredients, so as not to make the old lady unhappy if there was less salt.
"Use it." Mrs. Jiang kept raising the corners of her mouth. Compared with salt and ginseng, of course ginseng is much more valuable.
Now she is satisfied with everything about the second wife, and she is not angry with Jiang Changan for beating her. If there is still ginseng, beating her a few more times will be enough.
"Dad, you and grandpa should pay attention to safety when you go to the county town, and the valuables at home should be locked up." The money and silk were so attractive that Jiang Changan said a few more words.
"Okay, don't worry."
"When you have money, you can build your own house with bricks and tiles and a garden. You don't have to buy the materials. I think bricks and tiles are similar to pottery.
We can slowly try to burn it, find the wood in the mountains, and just buy the adhesive, which should be enough.
When I have time, I will ask Master how to build a garden landscape. Master, the structure of the house depends on you.
We have two houses in one house, and we also built a house for my grandparents, which should be connected in the yard.
From now on, everyone will work together and live a pastoral life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset. It’s so happy.” It would be better if those bullies didn’t come to bully me.
Jiang Changan still likes his current life very much.
The Jiang family was dumbfounded. How come your tone is more experienced than the old man? You are a child.
"Okay, just listen to our Chang'an." The child's thoughts came up one after another, and she soon changed her mind.
However, houses still have to be built, and rural people do most of the building work themselves, including the materials, except of course the brick houses.
However, if pottery can be fired, there is still hope for firing bricks and tiles several times.
The whole family was immediately yearning for it. The hard work will be rewarded. Only such a day can be looked forward to.
The next day, Jiang Changan didn't wake up until after nine o'clock. Jiang Laoer and Jiang Laotou had already gone to the county seat. Of course, they went to team up with Zhang Orion. It happened that the two families had the same purpose.
Jiang Jiabao also went to school early. Only Mr. Yao was at home, and even Mrs. Jiang went out to hunt pigweed.
However, there are many more people in the Jiang family in the yard. Who are these if they are not classmates from the private school on the mountain and Master Song?
Jiang Changan's face turned red. Why didn't anyone wake her up? These people were all waiting for her, right?
"First, sir, today's class is to visit Jiang's house and write about your travel experience?" Otherwise, why would everyone in the school come? Fortunately, Jiang Changan was dressed neatly, and he quickly saluted Master Song to say hello.
"Haha, don't worry, you should eat something first. We have just arrived." It only took about a quarter of an hour.
Mrs. Yao originally wanted to wake Jiang Changan up, but Master Song refused and asked the students to make as little noise as possible while moving.
There is no way, Jiang Changan is their 'teacher' now, because Master Song doesn't know how to burn salt.
Of course Master Song caught Zhang Zhu and asked about this news. The government refused to allow him to make salt, but they could make it for themselves and reduce the burden on their family.
It may be detrimental to the country, but it will be of great benefit to the people, and Master Song is not that pedantic.
Instead of Jiang Changan mastering the method of making salt, it would be better if everyone met together, and the government would not be able to target her anymore, right?
These small details seem to be fine now, but once Jiang Changan becomes a scholar in the future, this will be an excuse for her to be attacked.
Moreover, the secret recipe for making salt cannot be used privately to make a living, so it is better to follow the trend and sell favors for Jiang Changan.
Therefore, after Master Song heard about it, he brought a group of students to Jiang's house.
