Chapter 116 I Have Met the Second Wife Making Paper
"Those horses are so delicate, you can lose one in one night. Alas, why did you bring such delicate things back? After finishing the manger, your third uncle said that he would rebuild the walls of the stables. My God, this How busy are you? Our family, except the old lady, is ready to build the walls of the stables."

In the whole family, only San Niangzi has the fastest mouth, and she doesn't pant when she babbles.

What she said is also true. It has been a few days since twenty sweaty horses have been brought back. One horse is sick every day, and one horse is sick every day. The entire Qi family is about to get angry these days. Those hard-earned horses in the movie are a mess.

In addition, I don't know which master of the Qi family said that this is a hard-earned horse, a horse worth thousands of gold. The Qi family's head is even more messed up.

Fortunately, even though those horses were delicate, one after another fell ill, but none of them died.

They don't eat much hay, but they love to drink water. After being sick for several days in the ice and snow, they only drank water, and finally stood up slowly and tremblingly.

Sheng Jiaojiao slowly blew on the ink on the straw paper, and then said to the third lady:

"Those are all hard-earned horses. Naturally, we should take good care of them. From now on, our cavalry in Zhishou County will point to these delicate goods."

She said, picked up the toilet paper again, and showed it to the third lady,
"Third aunt, how about this medicine bottle?"

"What medicine bottle? What are you doing with this?"

Mrs. Qi San carefully looked at the small bottle on the straw paper, the big belly of the bottle, the slender mouth, and the flowers and grass painted on it. Only Sheng Jiaojiao, who is as delicate as Sheng Jiaojiao, can paint flowers and plants on the bottle .

"I'm going to make some off-the-shelf medicine and sell it in the barracks."

Sheng Jiaojiao put away her pen and said to the third lady:

"I went back to the north of the county and found that although they had medicinal materials, they had to brew them by themselves. Military doctors needed to make them in advance. Sometimes the battles were frequent, and the patented medicines would be consumed all at once, and their patented medicines were not always ready. It’s good to have my prescription.”

She couldn't stay in the barracks all the time, so naturally she couldn't change the water for the wounded soldiers in the barracks all the time.

In Tan Ji's camp that day, the golden sore medicine that Zheng Ling gave gave Sheng Jiaojiao some inspiration. She could find another way to make golden sore medicine with her own water, and then make it into a finished medicine and sell it to the military camp.

The effect of the medicine will definitely be better than the golden sore medicine made from snow water.

So the most urgent task is to find someone to burn the medicine bottle.

The third lady of Qi was taken aback by Sheng Jiaojiao's idea. She was not as thoughtful as the second lady Qi thought. Seeing that Sheng Jiaojiao said that the golden sore medicine that was going to be a finished product would still make money, she smiled and said:

"It's not enough to just use a bottle to pack it, and it's unnecessary to burn the medicine bottle to do it."

"That can't be done. What if my golden sore medicine becomes famous, and people spend thousands of dollars to buy my medicine, only to find that the medicine is packed in a bottle at random. Wouldn't it ruin my reputation?"

Sheng Jiaojiao decided not to do it, so she took the toilet paper from the medicine bottle and went to Miss Qi.

Miss Qi was busy setting up those bloody horses in the stable at the back of the house. When Sheng Jiaojiao said that she was going to burn the medicine bottles, she said anxiously:

"I'm so busy here that I'm going to lose my head. It's definitely not possible during this period of time. You are a delicate job with high requirements. I can't do it alone."

And said:
"Is your golden sore medicine made of gold? You still need to put it in such a beautiful bottle? In this way, I will show you the way. You go to your second aunt, isn't she making paper? Take your golden sore medicine It’s unrealistic to use a paper bag with your flowers and grass painted on it, and some medicine bottles.”

In the past few days, the members of the Qi family have all thrown themselves on the bloody horses. Those horses have been sick for three days, except for the second master Qi and the third lady, no one has noticed that the second lady has disappeared for a few days.

Anyway, when she was at home, she often sold things outside every day. Everyone was used to the second lady not being at home all day.

Sheng Jiaojiao smiled, and didn't want to explain that the second lady had sent a letter to the imperial capital, so she just said to the eldest girl:

"Although my gold sore medicine is not made of gold, it is almost the same as gold."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and was going to find Mrs. Qi Er. The bottle was still to be made, but what her mother said was quite reasonable.

The golden sore medicine used in Zhishou County in the past was powdered medicine, and according to Sheng Jiaojiao's plan, she planned to use [-]% golden sore medicine powder and mix [-]% water.

In this way, the golden sore medicine, which was originally in the form of powder, became liquid, so it was natural to store it in a bottle.

But now it is obvious that the conditions are limited, no matter how good the golden sore medicine is, there is no bottle!

Moreover, the reputation of her golden sore medicine has not been established, and there is no need to use a special bottle, so temporarily wrapping it in paper and supplying it to the army will be enough.

It's just a paper-wrapped painting. It's definitely not enough to mix three parts of medicine powder with seven parts of water. It has to be reversed.

When Sheng Jiaojiao turned around, Miss Qi shouted from behind her,
"Jiao Jiaoer, you are so beautiful."

A flash of blue light flickered, Sheng Jiaojiao turned her head, looked at Miss Qi, raised her head uncomfortably, stroked the hairpin on her head, and said:
"Brother Tan gave me a total of seven or eight hairpins. I left one for Grandma, Grandma and three aunts."

Mrs. Zhou, who was busy next to her, patted the mud on her hands, groaned, laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth, and waved her hands again.
"I don't want it. It doesn't look cheap. I often do rough work. It would be a waste to throw it away. It's better, it's better to change it for money."

"It's not short of that money."

Sheng Jiaojiao left with a smile. In the box of pearl hairpins that Tan Ji gave her, she only left the one on her head, which was worn by the sapphire and silver hairpin that Tan Ji inserted into her back with his own hands.

The rest were picked and picked, and given to grandma, three aunts and grandma, and wrapped one in a silk handkerchief, and asked Zhang Jin to send it to Mrs. Tan in Huangguo Village.

She inserted the last pearl hairpin in the shape of a white millet flower into Lian Xin's bun.

Lian Xin raised her hand and touched the pearl hairpin on her head, she panicked and said:

"Sir, I, I still don't want it, this is too expensive."

"Recently, you have done a good job of serving tea and pouring water. This is a reward for you."

Sheng Jiaojiao took Lian Xin to the shed next to Qi's house, and now the shed has completely become the place where Mrs. Qi Er made paper and dried it.

The weather is too cold, the wind and snow are heavy, the Enlightenment School has long since stopped learning, so Mrs. Qi Er has long since stopped making paper.

But as soon as Sheng Jiaojiao entered the shed, she saw a row of thin wires near the wall of the shed, and a few pieces of straw paper hanging in the shade.

Sheng Jiaojiao walked over, she didn't feel anything at first, she glanced at it, and was about to order Lian Xin to take down the toilet paper hanging on the wall.

But he was taken aback for a moment, and then looked back at the dry paper on the thin line. The roughness of the straw paper showed a bit of delicateness and softness.

Sheng Jiaojiao raised her hand, kneaded the half-dried paper slightly, and sighed.

"It's a pity, the sun would be better if it was bigger."

She turned her head and asked Lian Xin who was following behind her, who made this paper?

The second aunt has been away for several days, so it cannot be made by the second aunt.

"Sir, I did it."

Lian Xin lowered her head and took two steps forward, fearing that she might have done something wrong, she seemed a little shy, and admitted her mistake softly,
"I saw that there was still some pulp in that jar, so I decided to ask the Fourth Young Master to make a wooden frame for me."

Sheng Jiaojiao looked at Lian Xin for a while, then at the dry paper, and then at the jar that Lian Xin pointed to.

The pulp in this vat was not used up by Mrs. Qi before. After thinking about not making paper, Mrs. Qi didn't have the time to clean these things, so she let the pulp ferment in the vat.

Sheng Jiaojiao walked over to have a look, then asked Lian Xin,

"The second wife taught you how to make paper?"

When Second Lady Qi was thinking about making paper, it was Sheng Jiaojiao who gave her a whole set of steps to write, write, and draw. Second Lady Qi spent a long time thinking about it by herself before she made rough paper.

Little Lian Xin shook her head, the broken rice flower hairpin on her bun was shaking, making her sallow face look plump, she lowered her head and replied:

"I've seen the second wife make paper."

Maybe I haven't observed the whole process of papermaking once, but once Lianxin was enlightened in the yard of Qi's family, and the paper-making shed was built on the edge of the yard. After passing the paper-making shed, it was Qi Sanniang's medicine field. .

So Lian Xin occasionally saw Mrs. Qi Er was busy in this shed, and she put together those small pictures, which was a complete paper-making process.

Sheng Jiaojiao was surprised when she heard this, she looked down at Lian Xin for a long time, then raised her hand and touched the bun on Lian Xin's head.

She remembered what Tan Ji said to her, no one is perfect, if a person has a deficiency in this place, he must improve in other places.

"Lian Xin, you don't have to do rough work in the future, except serving tea and pouring water, reading and writing, you think about it, make more paper."

Sheng Jiaojiao squatted down, took Lian Xin's little hand, smiled in her phoenix eyes, raised Lian Xin's little face, and said to her gently:
"If one loses, one must gain, Lian Xin, I am very glad that I did not cover your bright pearl in dust."

The little person in front of her looked at Sheng Jiaojiao, she was a little puzzled, but Sheng Jiaojiao seemed very happy, she took her hand, led her out of the shed, and stood under the snow sky.

Sheng Jiaojiao pointed to the sky and said to Lian Xin:
"Be happy, Lian Xin. Leaving your past is actually not a bad thing for you. In the future, when you are soaring in the sky, you will look back at your past and be very grateful that someone once let go of your past." Let go of your hand, and let you go."

Lian Xin couldn't understand Sheng Jiaojiao's words, but she knew that Sheng Jiaojiao wanted her to be happier, so Lian Xin saluted Sheng Jiaojiao, behaved well,
"Yes, sir, Lian Xin will always be happy in the future."

She felt that she should be happy. Now she is luckier than too many children. Not only was she not sold to the military dormitory, she entered the Qi family instead.

In Qi's house, she has much less work to do than at her own home. She has new clothes to wear, meat to eat, and she can read and write.

Lian Xin really likes the Qi family, also likes Sheng Jiaojiao, and likes everyone here.

"Jiaojiaer"

In front of the yard, Mrs. Tan's voice came.

As soon as Sheng Jiaojiao raised her eyes, she saw Mrs. Tan standing outside a row of fences, supporting the lame Uncle Tan.

The fence made of thin yellow bamboo strips was covered with snow. Uncle Tan had an uncomfortable expression on his face, leaning on a cane in his hand.

The snow was still falling in the sky, and on Madam Tan's head was stuck the hairpin that Sheng Jiaojiao asked Zhang Jin to bring her.

Zhang Jin held an umbrella and followed Mrs. Tan and Mrs. Tan.

Sheng Jiaojiao hurriedly went to the yard, and Lian Xin behind her stepped forward nimbly, opened the gate of the fence, and let Mrs. Tan and Uncle Tan in.

"I heard that you have some horses here, so I brought your uncle here to help."

Mrs. Tan supported Uncle Tan's arm, came to Sheng Jiaojiao, explained the purpose of this trip, and said:

"Your uncle, when we fought against the Shuo Kingdom, we took care of the bloody horses."

This matter was no secret to the Qi and Tan families. Compared with the war horses used by the local soldiers, the hard-earned horses were obviously much more majestic.

Anyone with a discerning eye will know that the breed of this horse is much better than the local war horses.

Now that Zhang Jin is working for Sheng Jiaojiao, he naturally knows that the twenty horses that the Qi family has acquired are good horses.

He went to give Mrs. Tan a hairpin, and when Mrs. Tan asked, he told her.

Uncle Tan was sitting on the threshold smoking a pipe with a dull look on his face, but when Zhang Jin described the horse's height, spirit, and color, he also said that when the horse sweated, it was blood and sweat.

Uncle Tan immediately understood that what the Qi family got was a hard-earned BMW that was priceless in Daze.

So he hurriedly asked Mrs. Tan to clean up for him, put on clean clothes, and made sure to come to Qi's house.

Before Sheng Jiaojiao could speak, Uncle Tan stood in the snow with a cane, and said anxiously:

"Sweaty BMW comes from Shuo Kingdom. This horse will die as soon as it is transported to the Northland. Take me to see how you take care of it."

Saying that, without waiting for others to help him, leaning on crutches, dangling the empty trousers, he went to the backyard of Qi's house.

Sheng Jiaojiao and Mrs. Tan looked at each other, her face was full of worry, and she also showed a little surprise that Mrs. Tan also came to Qi's house.

In Jumping Horse Lake, many people know about the disaster of the Tan family.

More than ten years ago, there was a war between Daze and Shuo country in the west.

Half of the children in Zhishou County participated in this battle. When the battle was defeated, the old emperor was furious. The soldiers who died in the battle did not receive much compensation at all, and even killed several low-level generals.

But the reason is not at all the fault of the bottom generals.

At that time, half of it was because of poor organization, and half of it was because of the lack of drag and drop, which led to the disastrous defeat of Daze in this war.

Erlang, the son of Huangguo Village, fought so that Huangguo Village became an empty village. Tan Ji's father died in Shuoguo, and Uncle Tan came back with a broken leg.

Since then, Uncle Tan's temper has become volatile, and he never leaves the house easily.

The last time Tan Ji was in charge, Uncle Tan came here once, and it was the second time he stepped out of the house in such a long time.
