Chapter 168 Summer vacation

The lady Yi was determined not to send the saltpeter sent by Yuechan. The pink next to her was so anxious that she blushed. She didn't dare to persuade her, but she was afraid that Yuechan would really take the saltpeter back. In the end, she could only look at Yuechan with help, hoping that she could really convince the lady Yi was.

Yue Chan did not show any strange expression at this time, but smiled slightly and said, "My lady in the air, I know you don't want to rely on anyone to live anymore, but the weather is so hot now, I'm afraid you and the fans can't sleep at night, right?"

"Yes, yes, the weather is too hot now. Last night I fell asleep until midnight. I woke up after a while after sleeping. My whole body was covered in sweat, which was so uncomfortable." Fan'er hurriedly shouted when she heard this. She really hoped that there were ice cubes to cool down.

Seeing Fan'er's excited look, a little hesitation flashed across her face. At this time, Yuechan continued to work hard: "My master is knowledgeable and very proficient in medical skills. This is also well-known in Chang'an. I often hear him say that weather is too cold or too hot can easily make people sick. Now there are only you and Fan'er at home, and Fan'er is still a child who has not grown up. If any of you are sick, you will have to ask the doctor to see a doctor at that time, and the other person will have to stop the work in his hands to take care of her. If both of them are sick, wouldn't it be even more troublesome in the end?"

"This..." After hearing Yue Chan's last words, Yi Niang finally showed a hesitant expression. She had heard of Li Xiu's medical skills. It is said that Princess Pingyang was treated by him with a clever hand. Since he said that, there would definitely be no mistake. If she and Fan Er were really sick, they would probably not even have money to hire a doctor. In the end, they would have to take the initiative to ask Li Xiu for help.

Thinking of this, the slut finally let go of the stubbornness in his heart and nodded immediately: "Okay, thank you for your kindness Yuechan. I have accepted these saltpeters, but you tell me the price. I may not have the money to give to you now, but I will give it to you slowly in the future!"

Seeing that Yi Niang finally offered to pay for it, Yue Chan couldn't help but feel a little amused. However, it would be best if she could accept it now, so Yue Chan had to nod and agreed. After estimating the price of these two bags of saltpeter, she told her that Yi Niang also remembered it very seriously. However, although the price of saltpeter has dropped, it is still very expensive for ordinary people. With Yi Niang and the others' current situation, I don't know when it will be paid off?

"It's great, there's ice to eat!" Fan'er saw that Yi Niang finally agreed to accept the saltpeter, and cheered excitedly, ran over and helped Yue Chan get the saltpeter out of the car. Then Yue Chan took some saltpeter and taught them to make ice. This was the first time Yi Niang and Fan'er saw saltpeter making ice. When they saw that the water surface added with saltpeter began to freeze slowly, the two couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so amazing."

"The ice is ready. Now just mash it and drizzle it with some honey or milk. It will be a very delicious ice food!" Yuechan picked up the small copper basin containing ice and smiled. The ice in the small copper basin is clean. The ice in the large copper basin below has saltpeter added to the ice, which can only be used to cool down. After it is completely melted, it will dry. At that time, the saltpeter can be reused.

However, when she heard Yue Chan's words, the lady in the air showed a somewhat awkward expression on her face, because there was no honey or milk at home, and even there was no other seasoning in the kitchen except salt.

"No need, eating ice can also relieve the heat!" Although Fan'er was young, she knew the situation at home. In order to avoid the embarrassment of the lady in the womb, she immediately snatched the small copper basin in Yuechan's hand and wanted to dig out the ice to eat it. However, the ice and the copper basin were frozen together. No matter how she knocked on the ice, she couldn't get it. This made her very anxiously scratch her ears and cheeks, but she couldn't eat the ice.

Seeing Fan'er anxious, Yue Chan couldn't help laughing. She asked her to bring a basin of room temperature water, and then sat in the small copper basin for a while. Soon the ice between the ice and the copper basin melted, and the ice was easily poured out. This also made Fan'er whimper and grabbed the ice and chewed it a few times. Her teeth were so good that she actually bit off a piece of ice. Then she squeaked it and squeaked it. She also showed a comfortable expression on her face. In such a hot day, eating ice is probably the greatest enjoyment.

When the mother-in-law saw that the pinks could have such a happy smile when they ate ice, she couldn't help but feel a little sad. If possible, she hoped to live a better life. Even if not for herself, she would create a good environment for fans who were like their own sister. Unfortunately, she was just a weak woman and there were too few ways to make money!

Next, Yuechan chatted with Fan'er for a while. During this period, she would come to Yi Niang'er as long as she had time. Fan'er was a greedy cat and was easily bought by her with snacks. Yi Niang was very wary of her at first, but through this period of time, Yi Niang slowly let go of this wariness. At least now she can treat Yue Chan as a friend.

When dinner was about to be about to be seen, Yuechan said goodbye and left. The lady and Fan Er personally sent her out the door and then returned to the living room. At this time, because of the ice cubes in the living room, the doors and windows were also closed tightly, making the temperature in the living room much lower than outside. It felt extremely cool when staying inside.

"Sister Yi Niang, it's so good to make ice with saltpeter. I will never be afraid of being so hot that I can't sleep anymore!" As soon as Fan'er came back, he squatted beside the ice basin and shouted excitedly again. The little girl is a very easy person to satisfy, as long as she has food and sleep, it's enough.

However, compared to the excitement of the fans, the lady in the clothes just smiled reluctantly. She said she was not joking about buying these saltpeters, but really planned to pay for the money. Although she knew that Yuechan would definitely not urge her to ask for money, she was a person who promised a lot. Since she said she would definitely give money if she wanted to buy them, she would definitely give money. However, in this situation at home, even if she had given the little dowry left to her by her mother, it might not be enough to buy some saltpeters.

"Fan'er, do you think we have any other ways to make money?" The lady in the air sat there for a long time and finally asked Fan'er. She really couldn't think of any way, otherwise she wouldn't have asked Fan'er who hadn't grown up.

"Well~, this..." Fan'er suddenly showed a distressed expression when she heard the question of Niang Yi. She tilted her head for a long time, and finally her eyes lit up, "Sister Niang Yi, our money is mainly spent on buying food. If we farm ourselves, wouldn't we have to buy food? Maybe we can sell some food for money?"

Hearing Fan'er's naive proposal, the lady could not help but feel amused and crying. She shook her head helplessly and said, "Faner, you think it's too simple. You have to have land if you want to farm. Unless you are someone else's tenant, we two little girls don't know how to farm at all. Even if you have land, the grain yield they planted is extremely low. I'm afraid it's not enough to pay taxes, let alone sell it for money."

"Ah? That's it!" Fan'er couldn't help but smile again when she heard this. This was the only way she could think of to make money, but she didn't expect there were so many loopholes.

Don’t expect fans to make money. The lady in the clothes started to ponder again. Fans saw that they couldn’t help, and it was getting late, so they reluctantly left the cool living room and came to the stuffy kitchen to prepare for cooking.

There is no shortage of flour at home. A few days ago, she became a bracelet left by the mother of the clothes and exchanged some money for some money. She bought almost all of them. After she raised the heat and boiled water, she made two simplest bowls of noodle soup. In addition, there were wild vegetables she picked in the morning. After scalding them with boiling water, and stirring them with salt, it became the main dish tonight.

Fan'er walked out of the stuffy kitchen as if she was running away. When she entered the living room, she saw the lady in the Yi sitting motionless on the chair and pondering. Her two long eyebrows were almost entangled together, which made Fan'er feel a little heartbroken. At the same time, she also secretly blamed herself for being useless. The entire family's expenses were all on Yi'er, but she couldn't help at all.

Thinking of this, Fan'er gently placed the food on the table, not daring to disturb Yi Niang's thoughts. After a while, Yi Niang woke up from her thoughts. When she saw Fan'er holding her chin and waiting for her to have dinner, she smiled embarrassedly and said, "Faner, you can eat it directly in the future, don't wait for me anymore!"

"That's not OK. Eating alone is too boring. It's better to eat together!" Fan'er said with a smile. Although life is full of difficulties, Fan'er still maintains an optimistic attitude, and even the wardrobe envies her for this.

Seeing Fan'er's cute appearance, Yi Niang couldn't help but touch Fan'er's little head intimately. Then the two of them started to eat. The noodle soup tasted nothing, and the wild vegetables had a little bitter taste, but it was not difficult to swallow. Although Yi Niang was born in a noble family, she was just a concubine who was not valued. She usually ate very simple, so she was not picky. As for Fan'er, she had eaten all the bitterness. In addition, the living room was rarely so cool, both of them had a lot of appetite, and in the end they ate all the food.

That night, the angel and the pink man lived in the same room, which could consume less saltpeter. Although saltpeter can be reused, it still takes some time to dry it. Otherwise, you can only consume firewood to cook it dry, so it can save a little bit.

Li Xiu had completely left the situation to Yue Chan for treatment on Yi Niang's side. He was too lazy to ask again, not to mention that there were three students at home to study, which made Li Xiu feel that he had become busy all of a sudden and his rest time was greatly reduced. For example, he had time to go fishing by the river before, but now he has not been there for many days.

Faced with this situation, Li Xiu was also very dissatisfied. Moreover, the weather was so hot that children in later generations would have to rest on summer vacation, so Li Xiu also decided to give the children a summer vacation and he could also relax for a while. However, he never expected that this holiday would cause problems. (To be continued.)8
