Even if she suffered from heatstroke, Cui Qingci would insist on helping Jiang Zhiluo.

Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said, "Okay, if you want to go together, you can go together."

However, Jiang Zhiluo was also afraid that Cui Qingci was really uncomfortable, so she brought a bamboo tube with barley tea in it.

It is soaked in Lingquan water. It will make you feel better if you drink it when it is hot.

After loading two barrels, the two people took the ox cart to the town.

Of course, they were not directly facing the sun, but were wearing straw hats.

Sitting on the bullock cart, Cui Qingci touched the straw hat with her hands and felt it was very good.

Of course, this was knitted by Jiang Zhiluo.

But now Cui Qingci has also learned.

In fact, Jiang Zhiluo feels that the heat here is really different from the heat in modern times.

In modern times, when walking on the streets of the city, you are faced with heat waves and steam.

But here, because there are many forests and rivers, and the natural environment is good, the wind blowing in the face is cool in summer.

There is a comfortable feeling, and when you take a breath, you can smell the fresh vegetation in the air.

Cui Qingci took out a fan next to her and fanned it back and forth.

She leaned closer to Jiang Zhiluo so that the fan could hit her sister-in-law.

Let her cool off too.

"Sister-in-law, this fan is so useful!"

Jiang Zhiluo looked at it and said, "As long as you think it's good."

In order to save some money, Jiang Zhiluo cut cattails and used them to make cattail fans.

The nice-looking fans sold in town cost tens of pennies each, and some with embroidery patterns cost several taels of silver each.

Jiang Zhiluo felt that there was no need to buy such expensive ones, so she made a few of them, one for each of the four people in the family.

Moreover, the cattail fan woven with cattail grass is very practical and creates a strong breeze.

Cui Qingci felt that it was much cooler when she was fanned with a cattail leaf fan.

Fortunately, the village is not far from the town, and we reached the town quickly.

Cui Qingci looked at the pier and said, "There are fewer ships at the pier, and there are far fewer people setting up stalls and shopping."

Cui Qingci still remembers the scene when she and her sister-in-law came to set up a stall and sell bread a month ago.

At that time, there were many boats, people and stalls here.

Jiang Zhiluo said: "There have been cases of bandits robbing people and killing people before. Everyone feels that there is going to be a war in Beizhou, so there are fewer ships coming to Beizhou for business, and the docks are deserted."

Jiang Zhiluo often comes to the town to set up stalls, and she can also feel the changes in the town.

However, since the trouble was solved on the spot, it would be fine for them to set up stalls and sell things later.

There are just fewer people buying things.

So Jiang Zhiluo made less bread.

I happened to make some extra soap and came to town to sell it.

Cui Qingci looked around and said, "Sister-in-law, are we still selling things at the dock?"

Jiang Zhiluo looked at it and said, "No, let's go to the residential area."

Jiang Zhiluo drove the bullock cart to the residential area of ​​the town.

Because it was just after noon, the sun was still very bright, and there were not many people on the street.

However, some people couldn't stay at home and sat under the shade trees with fans in hand to enjoy the cool air and talk.

However, there are much fewer people than before.

Jiang Zhiluo had come here to sell bread before, and many people recognized her.

"Hey, it's Miss Jiang. Are you here to sell bread on a hot day?"

"Auntie, I won't be selling bread this time. I'm selling something else."

The old lady said: "What are you talking about? Let me tell you, there is less food to buy now, and people don't spend much money. They cook some food at home. However, if the adults don't buy anything, they are still willing to buy it for the children. "

Children like to eat bread. Even if adults want to save some money, they are willing to buy some for their children at home.Another old lady said: "No, several households here have moved away."

Jiang Zhiluo's expression changed and she said, "Auntie, why did they move away?"

The old lady sighed and said, "Why don't we move to the south because we think there's going to be a war here? I think it's safe there. But let me tell you, if there's a war, no place will be safe. It's better to stay at home." .”

"That's right, there's nothing to be afraid of when you're old."

Jiang Zhiluo also knew in her heart that some fishing boats on the dock river had been requisitioned to send some people away from Beizhou.

Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said, "Madam, you still have a good attitude."

The old lady flapped the fan in her hand and said, "Young lady, you are not afraid."

Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said: "Just like what you said, if there is a war, there will be wars everywhere."

"At least we're fine now."

"Yes, you are right, but Miss Jiang, what are you selling this time?"

The two old ladies had both eaten the bread and chili con carne made by Jiang Zhiluo, and they both knew that the food she made was good.

Some are curious about what they are selling this time.

Jiang Zhiluo took out a basin and said, "Madam, I'm selling soap this time."

"Soap, what is it."

Jiang Zhiluo opened a soap paper package, revealing the soap inside and said, "This is it. It can be used for washing. The washed clothes will be very clean."

The two old ladies looked uninterested and said, "We all have bath beans and soap locust at home, so we don't have much use for this."

Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. Madam, you can go home and take out the dirtiest clothes. Use this in the basin to wash them and see if they can be washed clean. If they can't be washed clean, I will give you soap for free and you won't have to pay for it. .”

Seeing Jiang Zhiluo's confident look, one of the old ladies suddenly asked, "Can you wash even the dirtiest clothes?"

Jiang Zhiluo nodded, "That's true. You'll know after you try it."

“And it doesn’t cost anything to try.”

The old lady thought that her grandson's clothes were very dirty when he was running around and playing, especially the light-colored clothes. It was obvious that the clothes were stained with oil and could not be washed clean, so a set of clothes was wasted.

Those are made of good fabrics.

It would be really nice if it could be cleaned.

Anyway, give it a try, it doesn’t cost any money.

Moreover, they had bought things from Jiang Zhiluo and believed that Jiang Zhiluo kept her word.

Anyway, their home is in this alley.

One of the old ladies said, "Okay, then I'll go home and get some clothes to try on."

The old lady said that she went home to get her clothes.

Despite her age, the old lady has numb legs and feet and can walk very fast.

Cui Qingci looked at the two buckets of water and the basin on the bullock cart, and then she suddenly understood.

It turns out that my sister-in-law brought these things so that everyone can try the soap.

She has also used soap and her clothes are clean.

It is much easier to use than the expensive soap locust in Beijing.

Soon, the old lady brought a piece of clothing over.

There was a lot of dust and oil stains on the clothes. Because they were moon-white clothes, the oil stains were obvious when stained on them.

Jiang Zhiluo scooped water into the basin and said, "Madam, just put your clothes in it."

The aunt put the clothes in.

The clothes couldn't be washed clean, so they planned to throw them away.

After Jiang Zhiluo soaked the clothes, she soaped them up, especially on the areas with oil stains, and then rubbed them with her hands.

It quickly lathered up and the entire garment was lathered.

Jiang Zhiluo put it in the basin and started rubbing it.

The two ladies looked on without blinking. (End of chapter)
