Chapter 6 Be good, tell me where the money is
However, she was quickly attracted by the topic of the two.It turned out that Aunt Cao had planted five or six Chinese toon trees in her home, and these days are a good time to break off the Chinese toon buds, and when I have saved enough to carry a load to the city, those rich families like to buy a few handfuls to make a side dish, to taste. fresh.

Aunt Cao came to the door today, one is to visit her nephew, nephew and daughter-in-law, and the other is to find someone to help.After all, solar term waits for no one, and the toon buds picked after missing these three or five days will be old, and there is nothing else to eat except sprinkling salt and pickles.

The old man Cao only had this one girl, and he took good care of her on weekdays. Hearing this, he told Dong Rong directly, "Sister Rong, we are almost busy with the work in the field. It just so happens that you and Zhuzi should come back tomorrow." , then stay at your aunt's house for one night, and help out."

Although Dong Rong has only been married into Cao's family for two days, she also sees that her father-in-law is a simple and honest man, so she treats him with a third more respect than Mrs. Cao, and naturally respectfully responds to this.

Aunt Cao was very happy to find a helper, and promised with a smile, "If this year's toon can be sold at a good price, Auntie will make you a new set of clothes then."

Dong Rong smiled and said coquettishly, "Then I hope that my aunt will get rich every year, and I will have new clothes every year."

Everyone loves to hear good words, and both Aunt Cao and Old Man Cao laughed.Old man Cao told his sister, "When you go to the city to sell toon, remember to go north of the city more often. I heard people say that the Qian family master likes toon the most. If you really meet his housekeeper and come out to buy it, it will be a good deal." trade."

Aunt Cao nodded, "I know this too. I heard that last year Qian's family bought three loads of Chinese toon and put them in the ice cellar for storage. I never thought that the toon sprouts would turn as black as carbon in just a few days. This sparked a big fire."

"Really, it seems that Mr. Qian really likes toon. The ice is so expensive. It's not good to store something, but to store such a worthless wild thing." Old man Cao sighed a few words, thinking of his daughter-in-law returning home tomorrow. The door said again, "Sister Rong, when I go back to see your parents tomorrow, remember to say hello for me, and let your father come to the house often when he is free."

Originally, Dong Rong should have saluted and thanked her immediately when she heard this. After all, her husband's family took the initiative to show their kindness, which is enough to show that her daughter-in-law is very important to her.But she couldn't care about anything at the moment, her mind was spinning like a motor with several kilowatts installed, and she couldn't stop it.

Although this physical body left her with little memory, she still knew a little about the origin of the Great Qi Kingdom.It seems that after the Three Kingdoms, history diverged into a "fork in the road", and only then did this strange and familiar world appear.Of course, the Tang Dynasty man who invented the summer ice-making method in the previous life did not exist.Therefore, in today's Great Qi Kingdom, only a few wealthy households have built ice cellars for storage in winter, and only have ice cubes to cool down in summer.And because the ice cubes are not easy to store, you can use as much as you want, so it is really precious.

In this way, can she take advantage of the loophole and make a small fortune first?
I remember that when my parents were still alive, because my family lived in the countryside and the family background was average, it was really difficult to use appliances such as refrigerators.But her father saw the method of making ice with saltpeter somewhere, and quickly learned it and put it to use.When other people's homes are as hot as a steamer, their homes are always cool and pleasant.

Her mother even used to mash fruit juice and freeze it into ice cubes to cool off the siblings, so that at that time, the siblings definitely played a pivotal role among the children in the neighborhood.If anyone offends them, don't even think about chewing delicious ice cubes.

Later, her parents even built a small ice cellar to store the vegetables and fruits produced at home, and often went to the city to sell them in late autumn and early winter. The extra money they got was new clothes and new stationery for their siblings.

It can be said that the word "ice" occupied a very important position in her childhood.Of course, in the future, it may become the most stable cornerstone for her to make money in this time and space!
The more Dong Rong thought about it, the more excited she became. She wished she could run into the city immediately to buy saltpeter and come back to try making ice cubes. But when she looked up and saw old man Cao's slightly dark face, she suddenly realized that the timing was wrong, so she quickly calmed down and apologized.

Aunt Cao loved Dong Rong very much, so she would not see her annoy her father-in-law, so she quickly changed the subject and asked about the condition of her little niece, Second Sister Cao, "How is Second Sister these days, but she still has no strength? Some time ago, I found a folk prescription, which is said to be very effective in curing cough. Let Zhuzi bring the prescription back in the future, grab some medicine and eat it."

Speaking of his well-behaved and sensible little daughter who has always been in poor health, old man Cao also sighed, got up and took his sister to the west wing to visit.Dong Rong took the opportunity and hurried back to the east chamber, but as soon as she entered the door, she saw silly Zhuer lying soundly asleep on the big kang.After thinking about it, she stepped forward to pat him awake, and asked with a smile, "Zhuzi, you've been yelling that I'm your wife all day long, so shouldn't you listen to me too? Do you have any money in your hand? Come out and let me keep it for you, okay?"

Silly Zhu Xu was annoyed that Dong Rong had disturbed his dream, so he rolled up the quilt and wrapped himself up like a cicada chrysalis, hiding inside obediently and refusing to respond.Dong Rong couldn't do it, so she continued to flatter her, "My Zhuzi hasn't woken up yet, I'm so sorry, I will never disturb your sleep and I will not steal your sweet potatoes, okay? Tell me first, do you have any money? "

Silly Zhu'er still refused to believe Dong Rong, and muttered in a low voice, "No, no!" But as he said this, his eyes hidden in the corner of the quilt unconsciously glanced at the small clay pot in the corner.
