Chapter 053 I'm afraid you won't be able to thank the Roman history leader
"What's wrong with Ah Wan?" Mrs. Chen heard her daughter's expressions of surprise and didn't know what was going on.
"Mom, hurry up."
"Come here, come here." Mrs. Chen came over with a clean wooden basin.
"Look?" Tang Wanwan was surprised and showed the salt block she had successfully filtered to Mrs. Chen.
"Is this salt?" Mrs. Chen's eyes lit up. Her husband has been dealing with salt all year round, and she knows it best. "But why is this salt so white and so thin?"
Gently pinch the salt block with your hands, and the salt immediately breaks into small, shiny particles.
"Mom, this is fine salt. It is harmless to the body and has no bitter taste."
Mrs. Chen was very happy after hearing this and couldn't help but praise: "My Ah Wan is so smart."
"Let's pack up the salt quickly, and let's continue filtering the rest."
Tang Wanwan ran to the kitchen, took a spoon and scooped it out little by little. There was a big bowl full.
After looking at the quality of the salt filter, Tang Wanwan added another layer of filter and replaced the charcoal used previously. She added some more stones in the salt pool and left some gaps next to them. This way
Once it comes, the salt pond becomes larger and the water flow can be much faster.
Looking at her achievements, Tang Wanwan was quite satisfied. It was pretty good to be able to filter the salt like this with such a simple device. If there was a filter, the effect would be even better.
"Mom, please give some of this salt to the village chief's uncle and third aunt, so they can have a taste."
The village chief treats their family pretty well, and he often calls him over if something happens, and he doesn't delay. Yesterday, when we were looking for Xiaorou, the village chief even sent out many people to help look for her, although in the end no one was found.
But he also worked hard.
Needless to say, the third aunt put a lot of effort into the affairs of Mrs. Chen and Carpenter Zhang.
Tang Wanwan also repaid her mother's favor.
"Where's your milk?" Mrs. Chen asked if she wanted to send some to them as well.
"No, mother, you have forgotten, we have already separated."
Mrs. Chen thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay."
Mrs. Chen sent the salt, while Tang Wanwan continued to study her own salt pond, trying to make it better and stronger.
But Tang Xiaoyi was seen running back in a hurry. As he ran, he shouted: "Sister, it's not good, Magistrate Feng can't come."
Early in the morning, Tang Wanwan asked Tang Xiaoyi to wait at the entrance of the village. If they saw Feng Zhixian's carriage coming, they would stop it, then report a missing person and ask them to send someone to help find Tang Xiaorou's whereabouts. There were officials
If someone takes action, the efficiency of the work may not necessarily be certain, but she doesn't know whether Magistrate Feng will handle it. Tang Wanwan wanted to try her luck.
I thought Magistrate Feng had already arrived, but unexpectedly something happened again. "Xiaoyi, what's going on? According to the time, they should have arrived."
"Isn't that true? I heard that the clan leader also sent people to greet the magistrate at the village gate."
"The patriarch and the others are also looking for Feng Zhixian, do you know what the matter is?" The clan leader is looking for Feng Zhixian because something big has happened in the village, otherwise the government would not be alerted. However, no one would tell Tang Xiaoyi about such a confidential matter.
said a child.
Tang Wanwan was concerned about whether Feng Zhixian could come. However, if Tang Wanwan knew that Feng Zhixian's trip was to find out the case of missing poppies, she would not be so anxious to invite him back.
"Listen, I heard that Magistrate Feng's carriage broke down halfway and they are walking back."
"Doesn't anyone know how to repair a carriage? What's this all about?" Tang Wanwan couldn't help but complain.
"I don't know about that either." Tang Xiaoyi had a look of helplessness on her face.
Tang Wanwan thought for a while, then ran to the hut and put her backpack on her back, which contained several tools.
"Xiaoyi, let's go."
Tang Xiao noticed that her sister had a strange look on her face, as if something great had happened, and she suddenly felt a little puzzled.
Why is my sister still so happy when Mr. Feng can't come? Is she confused because she is worried about Xiaorou?
Seeing Tang Xiaoyi walking slowly behind, Tang Wanwan couldn't help but pull him and said, "Let's see if we can borrow two oxcarts. Maybe there's still time."
The village chief's son's family has an ox cart, but I don't know if the ox cart has been sent out.
What a coincidence. When Tang Wanwan went to borrow a bullock cart, his son took him out to plow the fields.
The village chief was sitting in the small courtyard smoking a pipe while his wife was struggling to fetch water from the well. After Tang Wanwan left, the two of them saw that she was very grateful for the salt she sent and even praised her a few times.
The village chief said he would go and see her salt-making stuff when he had time, and Tang Wanwan agreed. He said he could install one for their home if he had time. The village chief happily agreed and thanked her profusely.
"Sister, what should we do now?"
If we wait for Magistrate Feng and the others to arrive here, it will probably be noon. If this time is delayed for a while, the hope of finding Tang Xiaorou will also be delayed for a while. If Xiaorou is taken away by bad guys, then she will be in greater danger.
.
"Let's think of a way, there must be a way." Tang Wanwan was thinking about who has a horse-drawn carriage or an ox-cart, and see if she can borrow it.
Suddenly I heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance, but it wasn't a horse.
Looking again, I saw two people holding horses in front of them, walking in tandem towards the entrance of the village. Tang Wanwan's eyes suddenly lit up, she took Tang Xiaoyi's hand and said, "Let's go, someone is here."
We’ve sent horses.”
Before Tang Xiaoyi knew what her sister meant, she saw that Tang Wanwan had already stopped in front of Tang Sizhe and Tang Sichun who were holding the horse. "Please wait a moment."
Tang Sizhe was walking slowly at first, but when he looked up and saw that the person coming was Tang Wanwan, his expression suddenly became uncomfortable. Tang Sichun next to him also looked at his brother with some sympathy, not knowing that he was going to be beaten by Tang Wanwan again.
Why was Wanwan so abused?
"Tang Xiaowan, I didn't look for you, but you came to me. You came just in time."
Tang Wanwan looked at Tang Sizhe and didn't know what he meant, so she asked: "Tang Sizhe, I have something to ask you for help today, and I'm not here to be angry with you. How about you lend me a horse for a while? When I'm done with it, I'll call you right away."
Back to you."
"Hey, you girl, you have such a strong tone. This horse is for us to go out to do errands. Get aside, little brat."
Tang Wanwan saw that Tang Sizhe couldn't speak clearly, so she asked Tang Sichun who was next to her: "Excuse me, where are you going and what are you doing? This is an emergency. You two horses, can you lend me one?"
Tang Sichun didn't expect that Tang Wanwan would tell herself instead of telling her boss. She couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, not knowing whether to tell the truth or not.
"We are going to pick up this horse from Magistrate Feng. If we are delayed, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Tang Sichun finished speaking, he was kicked by Tang Sizhe, "You are the only one who talks too much."
Tang Sichun was kicked aside and said with a smile on his face: "Boss, she has to know about this sooner or later. Knowing that we are doing business, she will give up and quit."
After hearing this, Tang Sizhe thought it made sense, so he stopped being angry. He looked at Tang Wanwan and said, "Little girl, did you hear that? Our two horses are going to pick up the big shot. So you should resolve your matter yourself.
"
Unexpectedly, Tang Wanwan not only did not move away, but also came closer to him. There was still a bit of a smile on her face. For some reason, Tang Sizhe suddenly had a bad feeling when he saw the smile on Tang Wanwan's face.
"Mr. Tang, why don't we discuss it and how about we go together?"
"no."
"Then do you want to eat the most delicious roasted lamb legs, pork chops, and spicy hot pot in the world?" Tang Wanwan knew that Tang Sizhe was a foodie, so she might as well go along with him. This man was not a bad person, but it was very difficult to talk to him.
"what is that?"
"It's delicious, but you need to prepare the ingredients yourself. How about I cook it for you?"
"Okay." Tang Sizhe thought of the rat meat, and immediately shook his head and said, "No, if you put something indescribable in it again, I won't be tricked by you again."
"Absolutely not. You only have one chance. If you don't give up, you will fail." Tang Wanwan assured her.
Tang Sizhe was actually a little moved, but he still remembered the last time he was embarrassed, so he had to find a way to deal with this girl, otherwise it would be difficult to relieve his anger.
Seeing the horse in front of him, he suddenly had an idea in his mind, and couldn't help but smile: "That's fine, but, if you want to lend me our horse, there is a condition?"
Not to mention one condition, Tang Wanwan dared to agree to two conditions.
However, she still pretended to be reluctant and said: "Why are you so stingy? Just borrow it and put some conditions. Except for things related to money, as long as it doesn't violate my principles of life, it's okay.
.”
"Okay, this is what you said. Hurry up and catch up with me!" After saying that, Tang Sizhe laughed loudly and jumped directly onto the horse.
"I'm afraid you won't make it." Tang Wanwan also spoke boldly in dialect, preparing to get on the horse led by Tang Sichun.
Tang Xiao saw the complaint and was very worried about her sister. She quickly stepped forward to stop her and said, "Sister, haven't you learned yet? What if you fall?" Tang Wanwan had been learning horse riding with Lu Yujin for a long time that day, and she actually felt a little bit in her heart.
She was worried, but she knew the key to riding a horse, and she had practiced martial arts, so she didn't believe she couldn't ride a horse.
For Xiaorou, she must take a gamble.
When Tang Sichun heard that Tang Wanwan didn't know how to ride a horse, he immediately kindly tried to persuade her: "Miss Tang, if you don't know how to ride a horse, I suggest you wait here. We also went to invite Magistrate Feng to come to the village, isn't it the same?
?”
Tang Wanwan had her own considerations and got on the horse directly: "Thank you, if you don't say a few words to me, maybe I will catch up with Tang Sizhe."
"drive!"
After saying that, he saw Tang Wanwan rushing out like an arrow from a string.
Tang Xiaoyi and Tang Sichun watched with fear, "Miss Tang, be careful."
"Everyone, I'll be waiting for you to come back. Be careful on the road."
"Know it!"
"Haha, little girl, you were competing with me on horseback. When I was being asked by grandpa to learn how to do something wonderful, you were still playing in the mud."
