Before going out, Xiao Chunyan called Bai Yunxi abruptly, "Aunt Bai, please stop, I want to ask. Can I make some ice myself?"

Without waiting for Baiyunxi to answer, Xiaochun immediately raised his hand and swore,

"Don't worry, Aunt Bai. I just want to use it myself. I will never tell anyone else. If I violate it, I will be struck by lightning."

Listening to her swearing, Bai Yunxi was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help laughing,

"You child, why are you so honest. You can use it if you want. As long as you read more and read more, you will know the usefulness of saltpeter. It's not a big secret. It's hot, why not make a piece of ice to cool down? "

She didn't expect to make money with saltpeter, so she naturally had nothing to hide.

But people in this period pay attention to their vows and dare not break them easily, she also knows that.

"Of course, the summer is hot this year. Those who make money by selling ice must not want you to leak out and affect their business. Therefore, keeping a secret can save some trouble. What's more, this saltpeter can be used indefinitely. You only need to use crystallization or Evaporate and restore."

In the past few years, she has maintained a good relationship with Baohetang, and with the noble character of Cheng's master and apprentice, there is no risk in revealing it to them.

Furthermore, even if she told the truth, based on what he knew about Dr. Cheng, he would not wantonly spread it.

Doctor Cheng knew what she was buying saltpeter for, and if she bought it again next time, it would be all right.

Hearing Baiyunxi's tone, the master and apprentice of the Cheng family were taken aback for a moment, then nodded solemnly,

"Thank you, Aunt Bai, for telling me. I understand what you mean, and I will definitely not cause trouble for myself and my master. I'll just get a piece to cool grandma."

Xiaochun said, scratching her head in embarrassment,
"Don't dare to hide the truth from Aunt Bai, my grandma is getting old, and she has been troubled by heat for a while, she can't sleep at night, and her appetite has dropped a lot. The master has made a few medicines, but the effect is minimal. If there are ice cubes to cool down, maybe Grandma's appetite will be fine."

"You are a good and filial boy."

Bai Yunxi nodded, turned around and left.

Xiaochun watched the carriage leave, then turned her head and clicked her tongue, "Aunt Bai is really not an ordinary person, she is admirable."

Doctor Cheng looked at his apprentice and was silent for a moment.

"Since you know it's someone else's secret, don't reveal it lightly, so as not to cause trouble. Your aunt Bai is right. The Li family sells ice in the town. I heard that the business is good and the supply exceeds demand. I didn't expect it to be so simple."

Listening to the reminder from the master, Xiaochun snorted,
"The Li family is an unscrupulous profiteer. A piece of ice costs a lot of money. Aunt Bai just said that saltpeter can be used indefinitely. It's a huge profit."

Although the ice cubes are not small, how much meat can you buy with the money?

Dr. Cheng glared at him, "Be cautious in words and deeds, businessmen are profit-seeking, it's just instinct. We are doctors, and it is our duty to cure diseases and save lives. Don't pay too much attention to other things."

"Auntie Bai doesn't pursue profit, otherwise she wouldn't have easily told us how to make ice. Just now Auntie Bai said that she is going to the county town to start a small business. I really want to know what delicious food Auntie Bai sells?"

Saying that, Xiaochun looked at the street again, and the carriage in Baiyunxi had long since disappeared without a trace.

"People are different. Your Aunt Bai is not an ordinary person. If you are a man, you will definitely be able to achieve a great career."

"It's true, if there are noble people like Aunt Bai, the world will be peaceful." Xiaochun nodded in agreement.

At this time, Baiyunxi, who had already run a mile away in the carriage, only felt his nose itchy,

"Ah Choo, Ah Choo,"

"Aunt Bai, is the speed of the car fast and the wind is blowing?" While speaking, Wen You directly slowed down the speed of the car and let the horse rest.

"I'm fine, someone must have missed me." Bai Yunxi covered her nose with a handkerchief and rubbed it.

The weather is hot, and there is only wind when you run.

At Sishi, the group of them finally entered the county seat. Looking at the bustling crowd, they were either in a hurry, or waving cattail fans, shouting and selling.

Baiyunxi asked Wenyou to go directly to the Nanshan Inn. There were too many of them, and it was too much to go to Zhang's house all at once, causing trouble.

It was also a coincidence for them, there were not many people in the inn, and it was hot, so there were not many people staying in the inn, which was considered an off-season.

In order to attract customers, the innkeeper reduced the prices in the small courtyards behind.

Originally, they had to book three rooms, but now they can book a small courtyard with the same price and bring a small kitchen, which just meets Baiyunxi's requirements.

The shopkeeper was very enthusiastic, and personally sent people to the backyard of the inn, "Sister-in-law, look at how spacious this yard is. If it wasn't for the hot weather, people are too lazy to go out, and it wouldn't be so cheap."

Looking at their outfits, although the people are dressed in a low-key way, the horses they travel with are not ordinary, look at the coat color, look at these four, how can ordinary people afford to raise them?
"Sister-in-law, just rest assured. If you have any problems, just come to me, and I promise to solve them for you."

"Thank you, shopkeeper." Bai Yunxi nodded, and the two of them settled down politely, and the shopkeeper retreated out knowingly.

"Xiao Si, go and help your sister-in-law, and tidy up the things first. Then help tidy up the kitchen. Later, we will make some ice bowls and go to Zhang's house to visit relatives."

With that said, Bai Yunxi took out a post from her purse and handed it to Wenyou,

"Go to Zhang's house and send a message, just say we'll be there later."

It would be rude to come to the door rashly, but at least send someone a message in advance, so that people can be prepared to avoid being caught off guard.

When Wenyou went out, Baiyunxi simply washed up, then began to prepare water and make ice on the spot.

Speaking of which, bringing Wenyou by her side is really a big change. Her internal strength can not only beat people, but also make smoothies, which saves her a lot of energy.

After a while, three or four pieces of ice were formed, Xiaosi freed up and came to help move the ice to the room, so that he could sleep well when he came back at night.

Du Shi tidied up everything, cleaned the pot, and began to make her colorful cassava balls and various fillings.

The whole family went to battle and worked together. After a while, Wenyou also came back. The colorful balls were paired with smoothies, and each person had a bowl, which immediately cooled down a lot.

Bai Yunxi glanced at the hourglass, and asked Mrs. Du to freeze the colorful balls in a basin and put them into the carriage. Except for Xiaosi, the three of them got into the carriage together and went to Zhang's house.

Wenyou came to deliver the news earlier, and when they arrived at the gate, Zhang Yishan was already waiting at the gate with the girl.

"Aunt Bai, you're here, I'll help you get out of the car."

When the little girl saw Baiyunxi, she immediately greeted her with a smile, carefully helped her out of the car, and the two entered the yard together.
"I heard that Auntie Bai was coming, and my mother was very happy. She hurriedly ordered the mother-in-law to go shopping, saying that she wanted to make something delicious."

When Junior Brother Xiao Wu came back last time, he brought a lot of delicious food, and my mother liked it very much.
