Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family

Zheng Qingming looked at his mother with some embarrassment, "Mom, wasn't I still too young at that time? Besides, my sister is pretty, prettier than any other girl in the village."

Zheng Xiaoman laughed and fell on her brother. Oh, it turns out that her brother has been a sister-con since he was young.

Zhou Chunfeng nodded quickly and said, "Yes, your sister is the best, okay?"

Zheng Qingming smiled and rubbed his sister's hair. His sister was the best, no one could compare to her.

Zheng Xiaoman sat up straight and suddenly looked at his brother curiously, "Brother, what kind of wife do you plan to marry in the future?"

She was a little curious whether her brother would love her less after he got married.

Zheng Qingming's face turned a little red when he was asked, but he still thought about it seriously.

"I want to find someone with a gentle personality, so you can get along and not argue."

"Apart from personality, are there any other requirements?" Zheng Xiaoman asked.

Zheng Qingming thought for a moment and said, "As long as the rest is acceptable, it's fine. I'm not that outstanding, so I don't have such high requirements."

Zheng Xiaoman asked again: "Brother, don't you want to find someone who can read? That way you will have something to talk about in the future."

"It would be best if I could find someone who can read. It doesn't matter if she can't. If she wants to learn to read, I can teach her."

Zheng Xiaoman smiled. Her brother was indeed a gentle person.

When Zheng Xiaoman was sleeping at night, she had a dream that her brother got married to a very beautiful and gentle woman.

But when she woke up in the morning, she couldn't remember what the person in her dream looked like.

The weather outside is getting hotter and hotter, and Zheng Xiaoman will never leave the house unless it is necessary.

But she also had to cook food and send it to the restaurant every day, and she was sweating all over while cooking.

When Zheng Xiaoman woke up early in the morning, he was irritated by the heat.

She missed air conditioning and iced cola so much.

ice,

Zheng Xiaoman slapped her head in annoyance. How could she forget this? She could make the ice herself.

In her previous life, she liked to watch short videos about various physics experiments. At that time, she saw how to use saltpeter to make ice.

But where can I buy saltpeter now?

Zheng Xiaoman came out of the house and went to the vegetable garden in the backyard to look for her father. "Dad, do you know where I can buy saltpeter?"

Zheng Dashan put down the hoe in his hand, turned his head and looked at his daughter, "Saltpeter? I seem to have seen it in the pharmacy."

Zheng Xiaoman's eyes lit up, "Really, Dad? Do you remember which pharmacy that is? I want to buy some saltpeter."

Zheng Dashan recalled carefully, "It seems to be the Ren'an Hall in the east of the town. Girl, what do you want saltpeter for?"

Zheng Xiaoman said with a smile: "Make good things and use them. Dad, are you free now? Let's go to the town and take a look."

"Okay, Dad will go wash his hands first, you wait for a while."

My daughter said that even if he doesn’t have time, he has to make time.

Zheng Dashan went to the well to wash his hands, then went into the house to change his clothes, and went to the backyard to pull the ox cart over.

Seeing the father and daughter were about to go out, Zhou Chunfeng quickly lifted the curtain and asked, "Where are you going?"

Zheng Xiaoman sat on the ox cart, looked at her mother and said, "Mom, Dad and I are going to town to buy some things. Do you want to bring anything?"

Zhou Chunfeng shook her head. "I don't have anything to take with me. What are you going to buy?"

Zheng Xiaoman said with a smile: "Keep it a secret for now, you will know when we come back."

Zhou Chunfeng looked at her with amusement, "I kept it a secret from my mother. Now, hurry up and leave, or it will get even hotter when the sun rises."

Zheng Dashan responded, got on the ox cart, and drove to the town with his daughter.

They went to two pharmacies in the town before they could buy some saltpeter.

Zheng Xiaoman looked at the two bags of saltpeter in his hand. These were not enough.

"Dad, you drive to the restaurant. I'll ask Shopkeeper Bai if he knows where to buy saltpeter."

"Okay, I'll drive over right away."

Shopkeeper Bai was sitting in the backyard fanning himself to enjoy the cool air. When he heard Zheng Xiaoman coming, he immediately got up and went to the front.

He made a lot of money from the dishes he bought from the little girl before.

I haven't seen her come over recently, maybe she will bring him some surprise this time.

"Brothers Xiaoman and Dashan are here. Come in and sit down. Xiaoxi, go and get two cups of herbal tea."

"Hey," the waiter Xiaoxi responded and went to the kitchen to serve tea.

Zheng Dashan and Zheng Xiaoman found a chair and sat down. Zheng Xiaoman then said, "Uncle Bai, do you know where I can buy saltpeter?"

Shopkeeper Bai asked, "You want to buy saltpeter? Do you need a lot? If not, I have quite a bit here.

If you need more, there is a shop selling saltpeter in Chengyang County. You can buy it there.

But if you are not in a hurry, I will go to the county town tomorrow, and I can bring some back for you."

Zheng Xiaoman didn't expect to find a place to buy saltpeter. She hurriedly asked, "Uncle Bai, how much does one pound of saltpeter cost?"

Shopkeeper Bai recalled, "It seems to be 100 jin and 5 liang of silver."

Zheng Xiaoman widened his eyes. He didn't expect that saltpeter was so expensive in ancient times.

But considering the current price of ice, five taels of silver is not that much.

But she only brought two taels of silver with her today, and she didn't expect saltpeter to be so expensive.

Shopkeeper Bai seemed to see through her thoughts, so he smiled and said, "Just tell me how much you need, and you can pay me after I buy it back."

Zheng Xiaoman scratched his head embarrassedly. "I was in a hurry to leave today and didn't bring that much money. I'll trouble Uncle Bai. I want to buy 100 kilograms of saltpeter first. If I need more in the future, I'll buy it myself."

Shopkeeper Bai was a little surprised. "What do you want so much saltpeter for?"

He had never heard that saltpeter had any other uses.

Zheng Xiaoman still said mysteriously: "Uncle Bai, I can't tell you now. But when I buy the saltpeter, I will be able to provide you with a few new recipes."

Shopkeeper Bai smiled when he heard it. "Okay, then I won't ask anymore. I'm waiting for your new recipe."

It's hot in the summer, so there are obviously fewer people coming to eat.

He is now in urgent need of some new menus to attract customers.

Zheng Xiaoman now had saltpeter, and he went home contentedly in a ox cart.

When she got home, she didn't care about the heat and went to the kitchen to get a large wooden basin.

She put water in the wooden basin, then poured a bag of saltpeter powder bought from the pharmacy into the basin.

As she poured the water, she stirred it with a wooden stick, and soon a layer of ice appeared in the basin.

Zheng Dashan and Zhou Chunfeng both gathered around, and stared in amazement as the water in the small wooden basin slowly turned into crushed ice.

Zheng Xiaoman took the wooden basin to a cool place and placed it there. After a while, all the water here would turn into ice cubes.

Zhou Chunfeng reached out and touched the ice in the basin. The cold temperature made her sure that the ice she saw was real.

She looked at her daughter in disbelief, "Daughter, how did you do this? How did this basin of water suddenly turn into ice?"

Zheng Xiaoman smiled and winked at her mother, "Mom, this is the effect of the saltpeter I bought."

She couldn't explain the specific principle behind it, so she simply said, "When saltpeter powder is added to water, the temperature of the water will drop rapidly and then turn into ice."

Zheng Dashan and his wife looked at each other. What their daughter said was very simple. However, if it was so simple, ice in the summer would not be sold at the same price as gold.
