Chapter 45

As the curtain was pulled open, everyone stretched their heads to look, but found that there was no one on the grass outside the tent.

Shen Yinxing went outside and inspected around, and then saw some clods stained with red mud behind the tent.

But she didn't say anything, pretending she didn't know anything.

"Huh? Isn't Father standing guard outside? Why didn't you see him?" Ozuki looked out with her head stretched out.

Shen Yinxing snorted: "Hmph, he won't be honestly guarding outside, he probably will enjoy himself in Changchun City."

Hazy Moon: "Uh"

Although nothing abnormal was found outside, but in line with the principle of not revealing wealth, Ozuki still told everyone to be careful when speaking, after all, walls have ears.

Er Ya Niang patted her chest: "Oh, oh, blame me, blame me, now that I'm happy, I don't know the world."

Seventh Aunt quickly received: "Yes, don't reveal your wealth, everyone must keep a low profile and don't make any noise."

"Yeah." Ozuyue also nodded and said: "Let's make a fortune in silence!"

Everyone nodded and stopped cheering, but everyone's face was full of joy and excitement.

Ozuki turned her eyes to the big iron pot that continued to boil.

At this time, there was still some yellowish liquid in the large iron pot after taking out the salt crystals.

Obscure Moon glanced at it, and asked Xu Jia to continue cooking the iron pot.

Xu Jia scratched her head: "Sister Yue'er, the salt has already been taken out, so what else should we cook?"

Ozuki smiled mysteriously: "The next two things to cook are more expensive than salt."

Hearing that the next boiled food was more expensive than salt, Xu Jia's eyes lit up, she threw off her shoulders and worked hard.

With a long time of cooking, the liquid in the pot became more and more viscous, and the color changed from earthy yellow to purple black.

These purple-black liquids similar to soy sauce are brine, which is what is used to order tofu.

But the brine is poisonous, and most families don't keep it, because they are afraid that someone will eat the brine by mistake and die.

However, brine can also be used as fertilizer for the land, but if he doesn't plan to farm now, Ozuki doesn't think about it.

Obscure Moon asked Xu Jia to pour the brine into a jar and seal it up properly, so that she could make tofu when she had stone mills and soybeans in the future.

Hee hee, thinking about being able to eat mapo tofu, bean curd, and tofu nao again, Ozuki feels very happy.

After the brine was poured, a large number of light white and khaki crystals appeared on the bottom of the iron pot. Some of these crystals were shaped like needlepoints, and some were like interlaced canine teeth.

These needle-like powder crystals are the famous - nitrate.

Nitrate is a raw material used to make explosives, which has certain dangers.

However, if you want to use the nitrate in this iron pot to make explosives, you need to further purify it.

Thinking about how precious this nitrate is, Obscure Moon also collected it in a jar.

But hopefully it will never be useful one day.

All the refined salt was received in the crock, and Obscure Moon was afraid that the salt would get wet, so he asked someone to put the crock into a basket filled with straw.

Everyone was also careful when placing the jars, holding the jars like treasures, for fear that one would accidentally drop them.

Counting the days, it will be winter in a few days.

After winter in Hebei, the weather is humid and cold, which is not conducive to the collection of saline soil.

All Obscure Moon intends to make everyone work overtime crazily in the past few days, work for seven days and then lie down and earn a year.

The rest of the Xu family also have the same intention, and they have a lot of money to earn, so they can keep them up without sleep.

The matter of boiling the salt can be left to Xu Jia and the others to do, while Ozuki is going to the city to exchange the first batch of salt for silver.

The salt that the residents of Hebei used to eat was sea salt supplied by Gongsun’s family. No one had tasted the earth salt extracted from the saline-alkali land, so Ozuki didn’t know whether the earth salt would be accepted.

And how to price this soil salt?What is the market demand in the city?What kind of consumers are you selling to?How can I sell it at a good price?

Ozuki has never done business, and thinking about these issues makes her head ache a bit.

At this time, Er Ya brother Xu Wei saw through Ouyue's mind, and said with a smile: "Is sister Yue'er having a headache, how can I sell salt?"

Hearing Xu Wei's question, Ozuki remembered that he used to be a salesman who went all over the place.

Obscure Moon's eyes brightened, that's great, ready-made talent!
"Then tomorrow, let's go to Changchun City to sell salt together!" Mizuki jumped up happily.

"Yeah!" Xu Wei nodded, his eyes full of excitement and excitement.

It wasn't until the crowd dispersed that Xu Jingyang, who smelled of alcohol, came back from the outside with Xu Ajiu, humming a ditty.

"Huh! Smelly father, we are busy here, but you are better off, go out and have fun!" Misty Moon complained, staring at a pair of big watery eyes.

"Hey! Who said that I ran out to have a good time, and I was inspecting the people's situation." Xu Jingyang rubbed his nose, and pulled Xu Ajiu: "Huanger, tell me, is I doing a good job?"

Xu Ajiu looked at his angry sister, then at his father who was blinking at him, and chose to stop thinking: "Aba. Aba"

"Huh, daddy, you are going to sell salt in Changchun City with us tomorrow." Mizuki put her hands on her hips, her fierce and fierce appearance was really cute.

"Okay, okay, no problem, no problem, I am familiar with Changchun City." Xu Jingyang hiccupped, then crossed the moon and lay down on the bed.

Smelling the smell of alcohol on Xu Jingyang's body, Yunyue was even more annoyed.

She was very dissatisfied with Xu Jingyang's attitude, so she yelled at Shen Yinxing: "Mother! You don't care about him!"

Shen Yinxing snorted: "I don't want to worry about it anymore, I just want to kill him. If a lazy guy like him were my soldier, I would have shot him dead a long time ago. He wouldn't be able to live now."

Xu Jingyang on the bed heard it, turned over, and said mockingly: "You are lazy, my brain is working all the time, so you should work hard, and your brain doesn't work at all."

Xu Jingyang might have drunk too much and dared to contradict Shen Yinxing, and then he pointed to his head: "Zhen, you are diligent here, you, you can't do it here."

Seeing Aniang's face getting darker and darker, Ozuki standing aside: "Uh"

No, father, you won't be so drunk if you eat a peanut when you drink alcohol!

"Yue'er, I'll divorce him tomorrow, what do you think?" Shen Yinxing, who was standing upside down with willow eyebrows, turned her head and asked Luyue.

Obscure Moon shrank her neck, and said weakly: "Uh, I think Dad is pretty good."

After finishing speaking, Obscure Moon handed a broom to Shen Yinxing's hand: "Aniang, it's my wife's fault if my father doesn't teach me."

Afterwards, Ozuki ran out of the tent with her brother, and hurriedly fled the battlefield.

After running a few steps, there was the sound of a stick falling behind him, followed by Xu Jingyang's wailing.
Obscure Moon looked at the peaceful starry sky, feeling particularly good.

Ah, what a beautiful day.

I hope that tomorrow I will go to the city to sell salt, and I can sell it at a good price smoothly.

 Recently Xu Jia was always written as Zhang Jia, but luckily Baozi pointed it out.

  Xu Jia: My surname is Xu!Not Zhang!

  Bald author: Uh. I always feel that your surname should be Zhang
