Chapter 80: Are you so kind?

July 15, 2023Ai Hrist

Patriarch Wu’s eyes lit up when he heard his son’s words.

The weather was hot now, even in the capital, there were not many people who can afford an ice basin.

If they can get this ice-making recipe and take it to the capital to find someone to do favors with, they will benefit endlessly.

They can also produce ice and sell it at a high price to those who were rich and short of ice.

Patriarch Wu thought for a while and said: “You ask that Shi Laosi to talk to the dead girl and see if she sells this recipe.”

In his opinion, that girl was a wild breed with little knowledge, that’s why she sold all the little black balls to them for six hundred taels last time.

Young Master Wu nodded, “Okay, I’ll go find Shi Laosi right away.”

When he was about to leave, Patriarch Wu asked: “How is the progress of the little black ball?”

Bringing this up, Young Master Wu said helplessly: “Those people are still trying to find out what the powder in the little black ball is, and they haven’t made much progress yet.”

He doesn’t know when it will be created.

He said: “Father, do you think that dead girl has a way to make small black balls?”

Patriarch Wu thought for a while and said: “It’s hard to say, let Shi Laosi try it out together.”

“If there is one, we can pay a high price for it.”

It costs more money and time to hire someone else to do it.

As long as they can get it, the days of the dead girl will be over.

He added: “If Shi Laosi fails to do it, you go to Xiaxi Village to talk to that dead girl in 2 days.”

Young Master Wu also had a similar idea: “Okay.”

He heard that Bai Xu also followed Xiao Hanzheng back to the village today, so he should have seen the ice.

He can’t let the Bai family take the lead.

Recently, the Bai family produced a kind of white sugar, which taste better than the sugar on the market, and sent them to the capital to sell at a high price.

They suspected that it might have something to do with that dead girl.

This also gave them a sense of crisis, and they must not let the Bai family get ahead again this time.

In the village, on the other side.

Bai Xu also wants to buy a prescription.

He pestered Shi Qingluo and asked: “We are also friends, how about you make a price for this prescription, and sell it to me?”

Shi Qingluo shook her head: “It’s not for sale.”

She made saltpeter to make ice, mainly to keep the family cool, and to see if she could trick people with bad intentions.

She doesn’t plan to use it to make money.

Bai Xu thought for a while and asked: “Do you want to make ice and sell it? Or is this method of making ice very troublesome?”

Shi Qingluo replied: “The method of making ice is very simple, you can find anyone to learn it.”

“I’m not interested in making ice and selling it either.”

Bai Xu said speechlessly: “Then why do you want to keep the prescription? Why don’t you sell it to me to earn some money so as not to waste it.”

Shi Qinglou raised an eyebrow: “Do I look like such a greedy person?”

Bai Xu: “… …”

I don’t know who got into money signs on her eyes before.

But he said: “Of course, you don’t look like this kind of person, but didn’t you say before that you don’t think you have too much money?”

Shi Qingluo said: “I’m not short of money right now, so I don’t want to sell it.”

What she likes was the process of creating things, and she was not so obsessed with money.

Otherwise, in modern times, she would go straight to business.

Bai Xu: “… …”

He was a little confused about this woman.

Seeing her firm attitude, he knew it was over, and he felt like he had nothing to gain.

In addition to seeing the benefits of ice-making, he also wants to put a few ice basins in the house in summer to keep him cool and comfortable!

When Shi Qingluo saw him like this, he found it funny: “Don’t be dejected, I will tell you how to make ice for free after a while.”

Bai Xu looked up suspiciously: “Are you so kind?”

Shi Qingluo climbed along the pole: “I am a good person.”

Bai Xu thought and laughed. As if he didn’t know who encourage the blood-sucking relatives of Xiao Hanzheng’s family to go to the capital.

He asked curiously: “What’s your purpose?”

He always felt that she wants to play the big ticket.

Shi Qingluo drank the herbal tea at home: “Do good deeds.”

Bai Xu asked with a question mark on top of his head: “What?”

Shi Qingluo didn’t want to explain to him: “You will know in a few days.”

Bai Xu was tired, “Okay, I’ll wait and see what you want to do.”

“Would you like to sell me some ice first?”

Shi Qinglou rolled her eyes at him: “I don’t have that spare time to make ice and sell it to you.”

She curled her lips again: “Your patience is too bad, it’s just a few more days.”

Bai Xu: “… …”

It was not easy for him to order ice.

He lingered for a while, but Shi Qingluo didn’t let go, he could only give up.

After Xiao Si came back in the carriage, there was no way, he can only leave.

When he was going out, he suddenly thought of a question: “When this matter spread, the Wu family will not let go of this kind of interest. Be careful.”

He couldn’t get the prescription, so he didn’t want the Wu family to get it too.

Shi Qinglou pursed her lips, “Got it!”

If the Wu family took the initiative to come to seek abuse, she wouldn’t mind giving them a break.

After Bai Xu left, Xiao Hanzheng smiled at Shi Qingluo and asked: “Aren’t you going to sell this prescription?”

Shi Qinglou nodded, “Well, I’m not going to sell it.”

“We have recently bought mountains and land, and we have to open workshops too much. It’s too eye-catching. Let’s earn a good reputation first, it’s more important than money.”

If they want to settle down and live in style in these ancient times, they have to take one step and ten steps.

Money was just a number to her, and making money was just to enjoy a better quality of life.

With her life guaranteed, she wanted to do something more.

When Xiao Hanzheng heard it, he probably guessed what she was going to do.

He chuckled and said: “I believe in you.”

Shi Qingluo raised the corners of her lips: “You must!”

After dinner, Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng went out for a walk to digest food.

As soon as they reached the door, they saw Shi Laosi hurriedly approaching.

Shi Laosi walked up to the two of them and asked with a smile, “Are you going out?”

Shi Qingluo nodded, “Yes, so you don’t have to bother us.”

Shi Laosi: “… …”

Can this dead girl speak nicely, it’s so choking every time.

He emphasized: “I have important good things to discuss with you.”

Shi Qinglou raised an eyebrow and said: “If you want to talk about how to make ice, then I’ll tell you right now, no.”

Shi Laosi didn’t expect she would be so smart and can guess his purpose as soon as they met.

How could he not be interested, that Feng Shui Master Li saw it with his own eyes?

He persuaded: “It’s not much use for you to hold this prescription now, why not sell it to the Wu family, they can pay a high price.”

Shi Qingluo shook her head, “No matter how high the price is, I won’t sell it.”

“Why aren’t you having trouble with money?” Shi Laosi was speechless. If it were him, he would have sold it as soon as possible.

Shi Qingluo said: “You don’t need to worry about this, good dogs don’t get in the way.”

Don’t delay her taking a walk with her young husband.

Shi Laosi was so angry that his face turned blue: “You, you are insulting gentlemen.”

Shi Qingluo rolled her eyes, “I am not insulting gentlemen. On the surface, you are a gentleman and scholar, but secretly you want to sell your niece to be buried alive with the dead. In other words, you are a black-hearted and rotten person.”

Shi Laosi: “… …”

The mouth of this dead girl is annoying.
