Chapter 128 This is how fine salt is refined

On this day, Shen Ru was invited by Xiao Wujin to the Governor's Mansion.

"According to what you said, everything you want is here. Now, please refine the fine salt for me!"

Shen Ru was brought into the backyard by Xiao Wujin. There was a well, a large vat, wooden sticks, filter gauze, a large pot, and a stove that she wanted.And the bags of coarse salt covered with oilcloth.

"Come on, let me demonstrate it in front of you. Find someone you trust to do this in the future."

Shen Ru rolled up his sleeves carelessly and poured a bag of coarse salt into the jar in front of Xiao Wujin, then poured in a large amount of water and stirred to dissolve the coarse salt.Then filter, then heat up on the stove, evaporate, and finally get half a pot of white crystals.

Although it was just such a distillation method, it actually took Shen Ru an entire hour.

After some operations, Shen Ru was already sweating on his forehead.

"How about it, see for yourself!"

Xiao Wujin stepped forward, took a sip of the fine salt that was as white as snow, dipped his fingers in it, tasted it, and nodded.

"It's hard work for a woman like you to do this!"

Xiao Wujin was telling the truth. If it wasn't hard, Shen Ru wouldn't be sweating in this cold weather.

"It's okay. From now on, you can leave this job to the trustworthy people around you. Just don't bother me all the time!"

Shen Ru said bluntly, between the distillation method and the drying method, she was going to choose the second method at home. After all, Liangzhou has plenty of sunshine!

"Are you not afraid of others learning this skill?"

Xiao Wujin asked curiously.

"What a simple method. Some people must know it, otherwise where would the fine salt come from in the palace?"

Shen Ru said nonchalantly: "I've done this for you, can I go back?"

Xiao Wujin looked at Shen Ru's appearance and suggested, "You can rest at home for a while. I will ask Lu Yi to take you back."

"Besides, I want to meet the Pei family kid."

"Why?"

When Shen Ru heard this, she couldn't help but be surprised. Xiao Wujin really wanted to take care of this matter?

"If he has good qualifications, I will accept him as a student, so won't I be able to protect him under my command?"

"Do you really want to protect him?"

Shen Ru exclaimed and looked Xiao Wujin up and down.

"Are there many skilled people around you?"

"Do you think I can't even protect a child?"

When Xiao Wujin met Shen Ru's curious eyes, his expression calmed down slightly, as if he was a little dissatisfied.

"If it's stupid, I won't care about it."

"Oh, then you go and see it, so I don't have to go."

Shen Ru doesn't want to see Cui Ti.

"Aren't you very close to the Pei family? I heard that the Shen family was confiscated and exiled because of the close personal relationship between your father and Prince Jing." Xiao Wujin said thoughtfully.

"Even if you resent the Pei family, it's understandable."

"No, they were just a bunch of people on the road before, but now that we've arrived in Liangzhou, they've all lived separately, and I can't stretch my hand that far."

Shen Ru said truthfully, "They are neither relatives nor friends!"

"Then why were you so enthusiastic on the road, saving this one and helping that one?"

For example, he also saved himself.

Xiao Wujin looked at Shen Ru with interest.

"It's so boring to be in exile. I don't want anyone to have trouble in front of me, so I will definitely help someone else."

Shen Ru said calmly, "But to put it bluntly, the Pei family can live well now under Cui Ti's care, so I won't get involved!"

After hearing what Shen Ru said, Xiao Wujin nodded.

Where prisoners are located, they will be registered at the county government office.Looking back, he just asked people to bring the Pei family into the governor's mansion.

The two talked and left the yard. "Lu Yi, go in and tidy up and cover everything."

Xiao Wujin ordered Lu Yi.

"Yes, my lord."

Shen Ru watched Lu Yi enter the courtyard and closed the courtyard door.

It seems that what Xiao Wujin does here is not allowed to be known to the people in the house!

As the saying goes, once is born, twice is familiar. The last time Shen Ru came here, it surprised the people in the Governor's Mansion; this time, it made people even more curious.

"My lord, here comes the hot tea."

Nanny, who was holding tea, couldn't help but look at Shen Ru a few more times.

"Sir, the kitchen is here to ask if there are any distinguished guests staying for dinner tonight."

After a while, another servant came over to ask.

"Uh-huh!" Xiao Wujin cleared his throat and looked at Shen Ru.

"I want to go home. My family will definitely be waiting for me."

Shen Ru said immediately.

Why did she feel that after she said this, Xiao Wujin had some regret in his eyes? Well, it must be an illusion.

"I think I can leave now."

Afraid that someone from the Governor's Office might come over to see him again, Shen Ru spoke again.

"Yu Yang, send Miss Shen back."

As Xiao Wujin spoke, a tall guard walked out of the court.

"Subordinates obey."

She had never seen this person before. Shen Ru only glanced at him and moved away politely.

On this day, Cui Ti had already let the Pei family move into the new house. To show her sincerity, she gave the house deed to the old lady.

"Old madam, I really want to leave. I have already bought this house and given it to you."

"No, Miss Cui, you can keep the deed of the house yourself so that we can have a place to live. You have done your best to be kind and righteous."

The old lady refused. Are they going to die of old age in Liangzhou? In her heart, she was unwilling to do so.

"Old madam, having a house deed is a guarantee after all. You must accept it."

Cui Ti also insisted: "Liangzhou is a long way away. Once I leave, I don't know when I will be able to see everyone. I still have the deed of the house, and to put it bluntly, even if something happens in the future, it can be sold."

The old lady was stunned. This was not a good thing to say, but it was true.

"Then I...just accept it."

"Old madam, I still have some money with me, so I'll give it all to you. If I have money with me, I can live a better life in Liangzhou."

Cui Ti gave her money bag to the old lady.

"If possible, I really want to be by the old lady's side. Unfortunately, I am not capable enough to find a way for everyone to make money in Liangzhou."

Cui Ti said sadly, "Old madam, I'm sorry."

Shen Ru's saying, "It's better to teach a man to fish than to teach a man to fish." Doesn't it mean that she can't guarantee the livelihood of the Pei family in Liangzhou?

She just gave the house deed and money, and she had done everything she could.

"You did everything you could."

The old lady was a little moved. Regardless of Cui Ti's temper, she had really done her best for the Pei family!
"Yeah, I really don't know what else to do, old lady, I... I actually don't want to leave."

Cui Ti smiled helplessly and said: "But my mother only has a daughter like me. It's time for me to go back!"

"Well, good boy!"

After saying goodbye to the old lady, Cui Ti also said goodbye to Yang and Yu respectively. Even Pei Chongguang, she said her goodbyes seriously.

Tomorrow, she will really leave Liangzhou, so tonight, let Fang Jin go next door to see who lives there!
