Chapter 53 Edible Alkaline Water

 A good night's sleep means a good day the next day.

Xiao Nianzhi got up a little later, freshened up, had a simple breakfast, and then set off back to the Imperial College.

Entering July means summer has truly entered.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Xiao Nianzhi's clothes have been appropriately adjusted.

An ivory white round-neck blouse, paired with a bluish-white horse skirt, and a cyan flower-shaped waistband.

The flower-shaped network is a single-layered decoration that cannot hold anything. It is made of walnuts and jujubes.

They started taking action when they received the news that a big girl was coming to their house.

Each person made one, one light cyan and one pink.

When Walnut changed his clothes in the morning, he specially chose this to match his skirt.

The capital city is very lively in the morning.

From time to time, the sounds of hawking, shouting, and cheers can be heard in the streets and alleys.

Xiao Nianzhi closed his eyes slightly and sat on the swaying carriage.

I passed a grocery store on the way and bought two packages of flower seeds.

I want to plant peppers and tomatoes when I go back, and I need something to cover them.

Although it is late in the season, Xiao Nianzhi still wants to try it.

Plant a small amount first, then when the weather gets cold, move it to a flowerpot or indoors to raise it.

When buying flower seeds, Xiao Nianzhi didn't get off the carriage and asked Uncle Zheng to help buy them.

However, I don't know if it was her imagination, but when she opened the curtain of the carriage, she always felt that there was a line of sight that could not be ignored, looking in her direction.

However, she looked around and found nothing unusual.

Of course, it may also be that the curtain blocks the view, so you can’t see clearly.

Xiao Nianzhi thought, now that he has shown his face in front of His Majesty, and with Aunt Yu and Xiao Siye protecting him, if Lu Jingyuan doesn't behave himself, he shouldn't go to other people's houses to rob people, right?

Thinking of this, she felt a little more at ease.

Uncle Zheng came back soon, whipped his horse whip, and the carriage moved forward slowly and slowly disappeared down the street.

Lu Jingyuan stood at the end of the street, arms folded, watching the carriage go away with a heavy gaze, his narrow eyes filled with darkness.

Xiao Nianzhi returned to the academy with alkaline water and pea starch.

Originally, I wanted to leave some starch for the house, but Aunt Qin and the others said they wouldn’t use it, so don’t waste it.

Anyway, this thing is very interesting to do. They have probably learned it and can do it again when they need it.

Hearing what they said, Xiao Nianzhi didn't force it.

The jar containing alkaline water is heavy, and the bag containing starch is not light either.

Xiao Nianzhi originally planned to get it by himself. If he couldn't get it in one trip, he just came twice.

However, Uncle Zheng didn't give him a chance at all. He said hello to the two uncles at the door. They all knew each other, so they let him go easily.

Then, Uncle Zheng held the jar in one hand and the starch in the other, and walked back easily.

Seeing this, Xiao Nianzhi could only follow behind honestly.

They wandered on the road for nearly half an hour. When they came over, the students had already started class.

The sound in the academy is not loud. After all, it is not the enlightenment period. The master still needs to lead everyone to read slowly.

Nowadays, it is all about Confucius reading, and I occasionally ask questions. Even if there are many people in the class, but the distance is far away, I actually can’t hear anything.

Now that it’s hot, the windows in every school are open.

The academy is relatively quiet, and most people will not walk around while the students are in class, so as not to disturb them.

Therefore, the sudden appearance of Uncle Zheng and Xiao Nianzhi is particularly obvious.

There were a few people who didn't listen very carefully in class. When they saw Xiao Nianzhi, they almost jumped up with excitement.

Miss Xiao is back!

If they were not in class, they would definitely share this news with their friends as soon as possible!

Great, we have a midnight snack tonight!

Wow, who can understand the resentment of having all the money prepared, but no meal?

They have been saving for several days!

Xiao Nianzhi didn't know the excitement of the students, so Uncle Zheng sent the things to the backyard and went back.

Xiao Nianzhi took a few steps and was stopped back.

Just after time, Aunt Yu opened the door and came out.

When she saw Xiao Nianzhi coming back, she looked surprised, which soon turned into surprise: "Think about coming back? Come here and let Auntie see our amazing little girl!"

Xiao Nianzhi restored the method of making ice and was rewarded by His Majesty. Aunt Yu was happier than anyone else.

It is actually difficult to say that people fall in love with others.

In the past, no one thought about sending two people to her side.

I want to use her connections to get in touch with the nobles in the palace.

However, Aunt Yu doesn't like it either.

When Xiao Nianzhi first came, Aunt Yu didn't refuse because of Xiao Siye's gift of ginseng.

However, after getting along, maybe it was the steamed buns with eggs that started with her, or maybe it was the little girl's well-behaved tenacity that impressed her.

I can’t explain the reason, but I just saw the right person, and Xiao Nianzhi is good at anything.

Aunt Yu naturally hopes that the little girl will get better and better.

Being teased by Aunt Yu, Xiao Nianzhi was a little embarrassed, stamped his feet slightly, and said coquettishly: "Auntie."

Aunt Yu didn't tease her too much. She called her closer and asked her carefully.

After asking, Aunt Yu felt relieved and took Xiao Nianzhi's hand and walked back: "Aunt Yu has also prepared a gift for you. I will bring it to you later. Let's go see something first."

Aunt Yu took Xiao Nianzhi to the back to look at the water pipe, which was the water pipe the two of them studied before.

After some calculations, the person in charge of purchasing found that it would be more cost-effective to get some thick bamboo and make it into water pipes.

Now at the beginning of the month, the budget is sufficient, so the purchasing manager sent these over.

Of course, the amount of preparation is not much, the main thing is to try it first and see if it works.

Mentioning these bamboos, Aunt Yu shook her head: "I'm just going to take you to have a look. Those bamboos are quite big. We can't do this job. We'll go back and ask Master Fu and the others to come over for help. We'll pick them up first and have a look. But

The tee and takeover you mentioned were done by a carpenter."

Aunt Yu took Xiao Nianzhi to see the bamboos. The quantity was not large, but it was enough to divert water from the mountains to their area.

However, it is true as Aunt Yu said, the bamboos are very big, and they look like old bamboos at a glance.

Thick bamboo means strong water flow, which is actually not bad.

It's just too big, so she and Aunt Yu really can't move it.

After walking around, Aunt Yu said her next plan: "We will ask them to come over to help in the afternoon. We will direct the drawings on the side to prevent them from making mistakes and waste them.

This bamboo is free of charge. Manager Qiu who purchased it shamelessly asked for it, but if you keep asking for it, it won’t look good. If you can save money on it, just save it.”

After finishing speaking, he did not forget to add: "Tonight, there is no need to go to the canteen. I have been tired all afternoon. How can I have the strength to cook? Just let them fool themselves."
