Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 720 Discovered
Zhou Banxia, ​​her master and her two servants were secretly making sugar in the back. They could hide it from outsiders, but they couldn't hide it from Gu Wenxuan. He could smell the sugar as soon as he got closer.

Outsiders might think that Zhou Banxia was so bored that he took Mai Xiang to hide away to make some new food. One moment the food was burnt, and the next moment it smelled sweet.

How could Gu Wenxuan not know what this meant? After all, when the natural disaster happened two years ago, sugar was not available, so he and his wife and their friends had to try to make sugar.

At that time, we couldn't find sugarcane, so we tried to exchange it with others for beets. After all, both the leaves and stems of beets are edible, and they can also be pickled and stored, so we could still get them if we wanted to.

It is fine salt. Later, when salt became scarce and fine salt could not be bought, we could always get some coarse salt and remove impurities and refine it ourselves. There is always a way, the key is whether you dare to try it.

He and his gang are very brave.

A group of people who are as good as three cobblers and one Zhuge Liang expressed their own opinions and used the information they found or the methods they inquired about, which wasted a lot of time.

Of course, if you say it's a waste, it wasn't really a waste at that time when everyone was short of food, and you could still clean up and barter with others.

Even moldy and spoiled food is considered a delicacy. There are always people who don’t care whether it is squeezed or chopped into pieces. As long as it can fill their stomachs, most people don’t care about how it looks.

I guess his wife is reminiscing about the days when they shared happiness and hardships. Hasn't she started making sugar?

The key point is, didn’t my wife say before that this is the golden hen that cannot be grasped at present? Why did she suddenly think of the tropical wheat and yellow wheat fragrance at this critical juncture?
Gu Wenxuan walked thoughtfully towards the "laboratory" that was originally set up in the back, and his eyes finally fell on a rockery not far away.

If he guessed correctly, his wife should have filled the cellar under the rockery with things. She was worried that the product might not make it through the production stage!

Silly!
When it really comes to a desperate situation, no one cares about the children. She is always the most important.

Doctor Lin has experience in performing caesarean sections. With the equipment and drugs in the villa, he can save her life even if she is exposed. Otherwise, how could he let her get pregnant?

Since God has allowed the equipment and medicines in the villa to be preserved, this is God's will, which means that God is also willing to let the mother and daughter be safe.

Thinking about how Dr. Lin had gone to Dr. Dong's house to practice with animals today at his request, Gu Wenxuan's frown relaxed slightly. He decisively put away his thoughts, put on a smile, and walked forward quickly.

"Second Master."

Gu Wenxuan nodded to Mai Huang, who came out to salute after hearing the noise, and stepped sideways through the cotton curtain lifted by Mai Huang. In his eyes, there was a smiling face of Zhou Banxia.

Still laughing?

Why are you pretending to be stupid!

"How about a roasted rabbit for you to try? Doctor Dong has plenty of them."

According to local customs, pregnant women are not against eating rabbit meat, Gu Wenxuan said this with a smile, avoiding the main point without mentioning that Doctor Dong's family has more than just rabbit meat recently.

Zhou Banxia was startled when he heard this, then he shook his head and smiled, "I just wanted to give it a try because I'm free. We have a lot of sugar at home."

Not to mention our own consumption, there are also many other uses for festival gifts, such as making moon cakes and pastries last year. This saved a lot, right?"

Gu Wenxuan: “…”

"If this is successful, we can save most of the expenses if we don't sell it to the public. Another thing is..." Zhou Banxia's fingers scraped Gu Wenxuan's palm. Gu Wenxuan: You want to use a code word, don't you just want him to understand that sugar can be used as a raw material for making dangerous goods for protection at a certain time?

"If the experiment is successful and you have a more perfect recipe, you might as well keep it. When my eldest sister learns how to weave, maybe we can be self-sufficient in food and clothing."

Although Zhou Banxia paused and found another excuse that sounded reasonable, Gu Wenxuan, knowing her implied meaning, couldn't help but laugh and shook his head.

Mute?
Just say something.

"Okay, let's give it a try." Gu Wenxuan took over the conversation, looking around at the wooden barrels and jars placed not far away, and then looked at the iron pot next to it, "Is it done now?"

Zhou Banxia shook his head and smiled, "How can it be so fast? At most, it's half done. Anyway, there's no rush, just take your time. Why did you come out of the study so early today?"

"It's getting late, and it's almost dark." With outsiders present, Gu Wenxuan couldn't say that he didn't have to practice calligraphy in the afternoon, so it would be easy to finish two articles in the afternoon.

For policy essay questions, there are generally several aspects that cannot be avoided, both popular and unpopular. If you write and practice every day, how difficult can it be? How can it not be fast?

It's okay to brag and show off in front of his wife, but if the maid hears it, he will inevitably lose his prestige as a master, and one of him and his wife will have to have the good cop role.

Life is not easy for women in this world. If they are a little bit strong, they will be regarded as unvirtuous by outsiders. Considering his wife's baby face, it would be more appropriate to let her be the red-faced one.

As for him?
Nowadays, even if he pretends to be a good person and can marry his wife, who wouldn’t think he is very scheming? Only his eldest brother thinks he is a fool with good fortune.

Even his parents used to worry about how hard it would be for him to support the family, but when he won first place in the county exam, even though they didn't say anything, they knew in their hearts that he was smart.

It’s just that “raising a son for ninety-nine brings long-term worry when he lives a hundred years old.” His parents couldn’t help but worry that he would not appreciate his good fortune and become complacent, so they often shared their life experiences with them so that their old son would go less astray, and they worked hard to travel far away for his happiness.

In the "experimental room" here, Mai Huang and Mai Xiang were already able to operate the modified brewing process independently. Zhou Banxia gave a few instructions and then followed Gu Wenxuan back to the front.

It was indeed getting late, and being seven months pregnant she was no more mobile than when she was six months pregnant. She walked slowly back to her room, and it was already time to light the lamps.

Speaking of lighting, he was self-sufficient in providing his own candles and lamp oil, which saved him money today and even left some for his wife's family to use.

Gu Wenxuan couldn't help but smile when he saw the lights, and mentioned that before the family split up, whenever Old Lady Gu saw an oil lamp lit in a room, she would shout to turn off the lights.

Of course, it is still the same today. Even though he and his wife supply them with lamp oil and candles, it is said that the old lady still follows the old habits in the old house.

"...She said that the lights in my room were all from San Ya's filial piety to me, and I couldn't bear to keep them on all the time. But you guys came to me after lighting them first."

The latter was obviously speaking well of the old lady. Zhou Banxia raised an eyebrow, "How could these words reach your ears? Who said them before you?"

clever!

Gu Wenxuan gave her an appreciative look: "Uncle."

"I guess if it's not him, it could be my third uncle." These two filial sons were speaking well of their grandfather in disguise for bringing his eldest son to their home.

Zhou Banxia smiled without commenting, "I said that Third Uncle and Old Uncle often come to visit us when they see that our parents are not at home, so how could there be no movement?"
