Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

Chapter 32 The loneliness of the password
Bai Zhancheng looked at Lin Xiao and then at Luo Ping with a confused face. What is this guy talking about?
Luo Ping, who was also confused, shook his head blankly, and quickly checked Lin Xiao's identity with the village chief again:
"Village chief, is this young man really Lin Xiao, the salt-making scholar of your village?"

"That's right, that's him!"

Seeing that Bai Zhancheng didn't answer the next sentence, Lin Xiao continued without giving up:
"Palace jade liquid wine?"

"Odd and even change?"

"How are you?"

"Walking down a dark alley alone for you, for you..."

"Home!"

Li Yuyan who came in a hurry hurriedly pulled Lin Xiao who was caught in the code and couldn't extricate himself.

"Ma'am, is he the head of your family?"

Luo Ping asked Li Yuyan in disbelief.

He couldn't believe that this nervous little man could be a strange man who made salt.

Li Yuyan saluted Bai Zhancheng and Luo Ping, "Exactly."

Hearing this, Luo Ping spread his hands towards Bai Zhancheng, and expressed helplessly with his eyes that this little nervous little man was the strange salt maker they were looking for.

Lin Xiao also realized that Bai Zhancheng was the general Li Yuyan mentioned to her last time.

He just looks similar to her male god, not a time-traveler like her.

A sense of loss filled his chest.

She said to Bai Zhancheng dejectedly:

"If the general is here to buy salt, please come with me. I still have dozens of catties of freshly made table salt at home."

Bai Zhancheng got off his horse, and the others followed suit.

He approached Lin Xiao, and glanced emotionlessly at Li Yuyan, who was guarding in front of Lin Xiao, Li Yuyan immediately bowed his head guilty.

He sneered, and the doubts in his heart seemed to have been answered.

"Brother Lin is quite courageous. He even dared to take up arms against the bandits."

Bai Zhancheng glanced at the crossbow in Lin Xiao's hand and joked.

These days, once they hear that the bandits are coming, everyone will drag their families and hide in the deep mountains and old forests.

Those who can't hide will fight with farm tools such as hoes and hatchets.

But people like Lin Xiao who come out directly with a bow and crossbow are rare.

Lin Xiao hid the crossbow behind her in embarrassment:

"I'm really sorry, I really thought you were bandits, that's why I had the determination to die..."

"You have such courage, I appreciate it very much. If everyone can hold the determination to die like Brother Lin, I don't think the bandits will dare to act recklessly."

Lin Xiao shook her head with a wry smile. She didn't deny Bai Zhancheng's point of view, but she was a little disgusted with his idea of ​​why not eat minced meat.

They are all farmers facing the loess and their backs to the sky. Even if they hold weapons, they may not be the opponents of the bandits who are licking blood with knives.

It's not that they didn't want to resist, nor did they resist with the determination to die, but what happened?
The entire village was wiped out, leaving no one alive!

The villagers are completely scared!

Bai Zhancheng also seemed to feel something wrong with what he said just now, he cleared his throat, and said to Lin Xiao:

"Brother Lin, can you show me the table salt you make?"

"Please come with me."

A group of people rushed to Lin Xiao's house in a mighty manner.

Lin Xiao, Bai Zhancheng, and Li Yuyan walked in the front, and the others followed.

Along the way, the village head kept bragging about Lin Xiao's ability to Luo Ping, wishing that she could only be praised in the sky, but not in the world.

It can be seen how high Lin Xiao's status is in the heart of the village head.

Lan Lian, who was anxiously waiting for Lin Xiao at home, saw so many people, thought that Lin Xiao and Li Yuyan were being held hostage by them, so frightened, she picked up the hatchet in the corner and chopped at Bai Zhancheng.

Since she killed two people in a row last time, her courage has gradually grown.

Bai Zhancheng is worthy of being the God of War of the Great Xia Dynasty. Before everyone could react, he had easily subdued Lan Lian.

"Oh, I'm sorry, General, my little concubine is also eager to love my husband, please forgive me."

Only now did Lan Lian realize that she had offended a very important person, and she knelt on the ground trembling.

Bai Zhancheng said coldly: "I can't tell, Brother Lin is weak, but the two ladies are very tough!"

Lin Xiao said with a sneer: "Where is it, the general is joking."

"Where's the salt?"

Bai Zhancheng asked.

Seeing this, Li Yuyan hurriedly took out the bamboo tube containing salt, and then brought Lan Lian into the back room.

"Why put the salt in the bamboo tube?"

Bai Zhancheng asked in puzzlement.

"Put the salt in the bamboo tube. Firstly, the bamboo tube has a strong airtightness. Use it to store the salt, so that the salt will not get wet; secondly, one catty of salt can be stored in a bamboo tube, which is more convenient for buying medicine."

Listening to Lin Xiao's explanation, Bai Zhancheng nodded thoughtfully, and opened the stopper of the bamboo tube. The salt inside was as white as snow and exuded a faint bamboo fragrance.

He tasted a little, and it was good table salt!

"I want all this salt!"

Bai Zhancheng waved his hand, and Luo Ping immediately handed over a bag of silver to Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao weighed it, at least one hundred taels of silver!
"General, my salt is not worth so much money, I..."

Before Lin Xiao could finish speaking, Bai Zhancheng interrupted her: "You deserve the money."

"I deserve it? How do you say that?"

This time it was Lin Xiao's turn to be confused.

Bai Zhancheng's iceberg face showed a smile that was so faint that it could be ignored: "You will know later."

What kind of medicine is this guy selling in his gourd?

Before Lin Xiao could figure it out, Luo Ping and a few soldiers quickly set up a tent in the open space in front of Lin Xiao's house.

Then the venue was cleared, and only Lin Xiao's family of three, Bai Zhancheng and others were left at the scene.

"I appreciate Brother Lin's courage and knowledge. I wonder if Brother Lin can make sugar besides salt?"

After Bai Zhancheng called Lin Xiao and Li Yuyan into the tent, he asked straight to the point.

"As long as there are raw materials, I can make them."

Don't be kidding, she is the section chief of the agricultural scientific research team, how could something as simple as making sugar be difficult for her?

"really?"

Bai Zhancheng's eyes shone brightly, and Bingshan's face softened a lot.

"Ah."

Looking at Lin Xiao's serious appearance, Bai Zhancheng seemed to see hope.

The reason why he was able to become the God of War of the Great Xia Dynasty was mainly because he had a secret weapon in his hand.

That is the explosive package that is invincible.

It's just that the black powder kits made of saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal have always been used before.

Although the power is not bad, but the range is not wide enough, so he has been secretly experimenting how to upgrade the power.

Until not long ago, he accidentally added white sugar to the material of the black gunpowder bag. This power really shocked him.

But white sugar was in short supply in the Great Xia Dynasty, and even the emperor was reluctant to eat it, let alone use it to upgrade black powder bags.

Now, he has found a strange person who can make both salt and sugar. It is an eye-opener!

　I've seen it all, give me some support!
　　I heard that if you point your finger at the full moon, your ear will be cut. Is this true?

　　Have you heard of any folk taboos?
