She has already thought about it, and she actually paid for it. Naturally, her road must be built differently. It must use asphalt or concrete. Neither of these two things are available here now, so what she has to do is to come up with it. The best alternative is to use asphalt, which is a simple material. It doesn’t take much time, and it can be formed quickly and easily.
Asphalt can be mainly divided into three types: coal tar asphalt, petroleum asphalt and natural asphalt, and what she was looking for was naturally natural asphalt. She remembered that she had heard Shen Shuang say that it was not far from the capital. Someone has dug up something black. It is not charcoal and cannot be burned, so no one uses it. Natural asphalt is the residue of oil seeping out of the ground after long-term exposure and evaporation; petroleum asphalt is refined and processed petroleum. The remaining residual oil is the product obtained after appropriate processing, so this should be natural asphalt.
To be honest, she can't wait now. She wants to know whether it is asphalt. If it is, then her path will be absolutely unique in Nanyao and unique to her. Who would have thought? If you want, yes, bring money. Don't say she is greedy for money, because she is really short of money now.
The money she earns is not enough to spend. I think once this road is repaired, she will have enough money to go.
They stayed in Jinzhou for at least ten days. Shen Bingning also took a clear look at the terrain here. It cannot simply be said that there is no grass growing here, nor is it completely smooth weather. Everything has a lot to do with the geology here. , of course, this can also be regarded as the specialness of this place, but what makes her feel at ease is that this place is not so hopeless. At least, things can be grown, as long as she can find the right seeds. As for the other things , she has already thought about it, people here don’t need agriculture, they can develop industry and handicrafts, and then food can be bought from other places. They don’t have to have food, as long as they have money.
Therefore, building the road was indeed the first step. The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, so she couldn't stay any longer. She packed her luggage and prepared to go back to the capital.
Mo Bai breathed a sigh of relief. His aunt could finally go back. He was already very hungry.
"I want to eat steamed buns when I go back," Shen Bingning really missed the steamed buns from that place.
"I want to eat meat when I get home," Mo Bai said through gritted teeth. He was going crazy thinking about meat.
The carriage was on the road for about five days. Shen Bingning wondered if the food was so bad that even the horses were hungry. Looking at the horses outside, they were also listless. No wonder they were so poor. Not even tigers are willing to go, let alone people.
After returning to the house, Shen Bingning went to the shop without stopping. Although Mo Fei didn't like talking very much, he was very good at running the shop. In addition, the shop was now under the control of the King of Peking, so there was no one on weekdays. If anyone dares to cause trouble, this business is getting better day by day, and the monthly income is about ten thousand taels of silver. Don’t underestimate women’s spending power. If they really spend money, it will be very scary. Yes, otherwise how could she earn so much money?
"Shuangshuang, is this here?" She pointed to the ground. Is this where you are talking about?
Shen Shuang knelt down and grabbed some soil, "Well, it's from here. I saw someone digging it last time."
"Okay," Shen Bingning snapped her fingers, "Xiao Bai, come and dig."
"A meal," Mo Bai picked up the hoe from the carriage. This work was not done in vain, and it naturally required some benefits.
"Deal," Shen Bingning squatted on the ground, then pointed to the ground, where to dig.
"Okay," Mo Bai smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth. He picked up the hoe and started digging. He was very strong and had dug a big hole in just a few strokes. Shen Bingning felt nervous. , even the palms of her hands were full of sweat. What if she couldn't dig it out? Then she would have to find another way.
Mo Bai dug for a while. At first, they were just ordinary soil and stones, no different from other fields. Until he dug a piece of black stuff that looked like charcoal.
"Wait a minute," Shen Bingning quickly picked up the black thing. She pinched it, put it under her nose and smelled it. It seemed to be similar. She would know after a while when she burned it with fire.
Shen Shuang picked up some firewood and lit a fire with a fire stick. Shen Bingning put the black thing in the fire. Soon there was a puff of smoke and an indescribable unpleasant smell. Very offensive to the nose
"What is this?" Mo Bai covered his nose, "Why does it smell so bad?"
"Good stuff," Shen Bingning stood up with excitement on her face. "Xiao Bai, dig around and see if you can still dig it out."
"Okay," Mo Bai didn't ask why. Anyway, he dug as he was told. He dug a lot of holes nearby, and in the end he really dug out that black thing. None of them knew this kind of thing. , but unexpectedly, Shen Bingning picked up all these black things together and put them on the carriage as if he had found a treasure.
In the evening, Shen Bingning specially waited for Xiao Yu to come back. Just after they came back from Jinzhou, Xiao Jiayu was dragged back to the palace by his eldest brother. He didn't know what he was busy with. Anyway, he had been busy for a long time, so he didn't know what he was doing. Shen Bingning was asleep every time he came back to the house. When he left, she was still awake. It had been several days. Shen Bingning had never even seen her husband-in-law. She felt that My own has almost become a looking stone.
Therefore, she must not fall asleep today and have to wait for him to come back.
Rong Xiaoyu came back very late. As soon as he came in, he saw Shen Bingning lying on the table and already asleep.
"Why don't you go to bed?" He came over and stared at her tired little face. He felt a touch of pain in his heart. It was really hard for her. He stretched out his hand and carefully placed it on her face. At this moment , Shen Bingning trembled her long eyelashes
"You're back." She rubbed her eyes and fell into his arms. This was a very natural and accustomed action.
"Yes, I'm back. Why don't you sleep well? What should I do if I catch a cold?"
Shen Bingning rubbed her face in his arms, "I just wanted to wait for you to come back. I don't know why I fell asleep?" She was still so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes.
"Go get some sleep," Rong Xiaoyu bent down and easily picked up the woman in his arms. He was tall and tall, and Shen Bingning wasn't fat either. Although he had eaten a lot recently, he still felt a little lighter. , it seems that we need to pay more attention to her diet in the future, and we cannot let her be picky eaters all the time.
