Being scolded as a poor widow, I relied on supernatural powers to counterattack in ancient times

Based on her understanding of her mother-in-law, as long as she works hard and is obedient and sensible, her mother-in-law will not treat her badly.

"Good girl, mother will go clean up now, and follow your grandma to the county tomorrow."

If she does a good job, maybe her mother-in-law can give her a reward.Now that her daughter is getting older, she also has to save her dowry.Although the mother-in-law will not treat the daughter badly at that time, she is a mother and cannot give nothing.

Yesterday, the second sibling showed off the makeup box to her, and half a box of jewelry was already stored in it, which was bought by the mother-in-law one after another this year.

The second sibling said it was all the dowry she saved for her daughter.

The daughter started preparing before she was born, but she obviously has the same things as the second sibling.Except for the new one bought by her mother-in-law and still wearing on her head, the rest were taken away by the mother and sister-in-law.

Yaya is seven years old this year, and she doesn't even save a piece of cloth. Compared with her second sibling, she is not a competent mother.

Looking at her daughter's big eyes and chubby little face, Mrs. Du silently clenched her fists. This time, she followed her mother-in-law to the county town to do a good job, and let her mother-in-law see her attitude. If she buys something for her again, she will definitely save it. , as a dowry for my daughter.

After making up his mind, Mrs. Du didn't hesitate anymore, and got up to look for Baiyunxi, "Mother, what do we need to bring when we go to the county tomorrow?"

Bai Yunxi looked at Du Shi. Although she didn't know how Yaya persuaded her, she was still very satisfied with Du Shi's positive attitude.

"Bring some of the materials we need to make pearl balls. If you have any new tricks, bring them with you. Use them first. If there is not enough, we can go to the county to buy them."

Hearing her mother-in-law's reminder, Du's eyes lit up, rubbing his hands and looking at Baiyunxi,
"Mother, I know that several kinds of flowers can be dyed, and the same kind of cassava flour can make many small balls of different colors."

"Then take it with you, the more colors the better."

"Hey~, I understand." Mrs. Du nodded, turned around happily and went out, Bai Yunxi looked very curious, what method did the eldest granddaughter use to provoke people like this?
The next day

The family ate early, and when the sun was not too harsh, they put the prepared ingredients into the carriage and brought unused saltpeter.

There is a large locker under the carriage, and some things can be placed on the roof, which is much more practical than a cart.

Before leaving, Bai Yunxi directly told her daughter to take good care of the house and Mrs. Li, so that nothing would go wrong.

"Mother, don't worry, I will take good care of my second sister-in-law, and I will also urge Yaya to memorize and practice calligraphy, and there will be no delay."

Bai Jingjing looked at a few people. Mother took her sister-in-law to the county town, Sister Wen was driving a carriage, and Xiao Si joined in the fun. They were the only ones at home.

She doesn't have to work in the fields, she only cooks for a few people and takes care of the house, which is not too easy.

Mrs. Li held a cattail fan and said with a smile,
"Mom, you just need to make money with peace of mind. I'm not just a piece of paper. How can I be so delicate? Compared with those little daughters-in-law in the village, I can enjoy a better life and don't have to do anything. They are working in the fields under the sun." .”

The few daughter-in-laws who usually get along with each other ignore her now, saying that she is blessed and not the same person.

That sour and envious tone made her feel happy.

A few days ago, before she could go back to her natal home, her father came to see her and brought pickled melons and small clothes made by her natal sister-in-law. A big fat boy, make my mother-in-law happy.

Since the last time I came to the family for a banquet, my father no longer worried that she would suffer, and said that she was the happiest child in the family.

Several people got into the carriage, left the village all the way, and drove directly to the county.

When passing by Baohetang, Baiyunxi asked Wenyou to pull over, and she went to the pharmacy to buy another bag of saltpeter, almost not scaring Dr. Cheng, and asked her what she bought so much saltpeter for.

Seeing his nervousness, Bai Yunxi couldn't help laughing. The saltpeter in this period has been used well, and it only needs to add sulfur charcoal to make fireworks and firecrackers.

Although the ingredients are simple, most people don't know how to make firecrackers, so the folks have always used saltpeter as a blind medicine.

Once this person came, he would weigh a hundred catties, so Dr. Cheng had to think about it.

Seeing the master and apprentice staring at him nervously, Bai Yunxi cleared his throat,
"Doctor Cheng, don't worry, the guarantee is for serious purposes and will not harm others. Otherwise, wouldn't I implicate you Baohetang?"

Bai Yunxi looked at Dr. Cheng's frown, and couldn't help but tease,
"We haven't known each other for a day or two, how can I limit you to a dangerous place?"

Among other things, Dr. Cheng, the master and his apprentice, are really good characters. Not only are the doctors benevolent, but they also have a righteous heart.She has always admired such people.

Xiaochun looked at Baiyunxi, and leaned over with bright eyes, "Aunt Bai, what do you want to do with buying so much saltpeter? Tell us a little bit about it?"

Looking at the curiosity in Cheng Xiaochun's eyes, since this child got acquainted with Xiao Si Shunzi, they changed their name to Aunt Bai together.

"Since you're so curious, go get a bowl of water."

Seeing Xiaochun's curious appearance, Baiyunxi grabbed a handful of saltpeter and put it in the water to melt it, then picked up a white porcelain tea bowl on the table, there was just a little unfinished tea in it, put it in the bowl, and let it stand for a while.

Seeing the gradually widening eyes of the two, Bai Yunxi chuckled lightly, signaling him to do it himself.

"Pick up your teacup and have a look? What's changed?"

Xiaochun gently pinched the tea bowl, the cool touch made him shiver, he leaned closer to look carefully,

"Ice...it's really ice."

Because it is the remaining tea, it is faintly emerald green.

Seeing the disciple's shocked exclamation, Dr. Cheng gave him a look. Fortunately, there was no one in the pharmacy at the moment.

Xiaochun also knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, quickly covered her mouth, subconsciously turned her head to look at the medicine hall, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest,

"Hey... Fortunately, there is no one at the moment."

"Cheng didn't know that saltpeter still has this effect."

Even Dr. Cheng was surprised. As a doctor, he only knew that saltpeter is a mineral Chinese herbal medicine, cold in nature, slightly bitter, slightly salty, and belongs to the stomach and large intestine meridian.

He really doesn't know about other uses.

As a doctor, I don't have a comprehensive grasp of medicinal materials, so I really feel guilty.

"It's said that every line is like a mountain. Dr. Cheng is a doctor, and he only needs to know the properties of the medicine. As for the other uses of saltpeter, it's useless to know."

Bai Yunxi chuckled lightly, but didn't hide it.

"I need saltpeter, mainly because I want to start a small business, to prevent food from spoiling, and to keep it iced, which is just suitable for the current weather."

Doctor Cheng listened and nodded, "I see."

Bai Yunxi paid the money and asked Wenyou to move a sack of saltpeter into the carriage.

Their pharmacy only kept five or six catties for spare, and Bai Yunxi bought the rest.
