Chang’an Peasant Girl: Chapter 540 money is a good thing

   Chapter 540 Money is a good thing

   Li Wuyu was not polite, and pointed to the ice in the room, "That's all, I think it's cool enough."

   Wang Youbao responded: "Well."

  Quietly watching them like this, it was just funny. It's really what her apprentice wants, and he will give it.

   But she still said, "You don't need to buy ice anymore. This ice is made in our own house. I will teach you the method. You can make it at home. It is much cheaper than buying ice in the county."

   Wang Youbao's eyes lit up instantly, and he asked anxiously, "But it's true?"

  Quan said: "What's so deceiving about this." After speaking, Quiet explained the process of making ice with saltpeter, and also explained the steps.

   Wang Youbao was amazed when he heard it, and then got into Qian's eyes again, and asked Jing Jing with glowing eyes: "Quiet, I sell ice, you should have no problem?"

  Quietly looking at the sky. So speechless.

   Wang Youbao said again: "It's still five or five points."

  Quiet hasn't spoken yet, Li Wuyu is a little dissatisfied: "Baby, why do you only have money in your eyes?!"

   Wang Youbao said: "Money is a good thing." It can make him feel safe, isn't it a good thing!

   Li Wuyu said casually: "No wonder people say that merchants are all covered with the smell of copper."

   Wang Youbao's eyes darkened before he nodded and said, "Miss Li, you are right, the merchants are indeed covered with the stench of copper, and they are naturally not immune."

  Li Wuyu realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly said: "I didn't tell you! You are very fragrant, and there is no copper odor at all! Really!"

  Wang Youbao: "…"

  Quietly laughed: "Youbao smells good, can you smell it? I've never smelled it before?"

  Li Wuyu opened his eyes and said nonsense: "My nose is sensitive."

  Quiet is even more joyful.

  Wang Youbao felt a little better in his heart.

  Quiet stopped making fun of Li Wuyu, but said to Wang Youbao, "If you want to make ice and sell it, then make it."

  Wang Youbao heard Jing Jing's words, and his unpleasant mood was instantly swept away. He smiled and said, "It's been hot recently, and most of the people who come to the restaurant to eat are less. If I make ice and put it in the restaurant, the restaurant business should be able to recover a little bit."

   Judging from the money distributed last month, An Jing also knew that the restaurant business was not doing well recently, so he nodded to show his understanding.

  …

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. It suddenly became hot from the tenth of April, and then, slowly, the day became hotter, and it was May 20th, and it had been hot for more than a month, but it was still hot. No trend of getting cooler, still hot enough.

   Of course, it is not that the whole Xiyun Kingdom is so hot everywhere. There are only six counties, Hecheng County is one of them, and the remaining five are all adjacent to Hecheng County.

   In these six counties, due to the high temperature and drought, the ground has cracked to varying degrees, almost all the fields have been dried up, and even the water level in the river has dropped again and again.

   Originally, water was released from the river through the ditches in the fields and then flowed to the various fields, but now because the water level is too low and much lower than the ditches, water cannot be released at all, and the paddy fields can only be irrigated by artificially fetching water from the river.

  Many people have raised rice-flowered fish in the fields, but because there is not enough water in the fields, the rice-flowered fish either died from the sun or died of thirst.

   The eight acres of mountain fields that An Jing and Xiao Changyi opened were not affected, because the water for those eight acres of mountain fields came from streams in the mountains. The other four acres of land have also dried up and need to be irrigated by hand-carrying water.

  Xiao Changyi wanted to keep quiet and had no time to fetch water to irrigate the two acres of paddy fields, so he asked Meng Zhuqing to hire someone to irrigate.
