Farming Happiness: Husband, Come and Plough the Fields

If you can make ice at home, it will solve a big problem. In hot summer, you can also add a smoothie as a specialty of the shop, add juice, dried nuts, and raisins for people to taste.

Although Daqi's law prohibits private ice-making and selling, she doesn't sell the ice and enjoys it herself, which is fine.

If you have this condition, you can build a super large cold storage, open a separate cold storage according to the leasing method of your own and the ice shop, and rent it to other restaurants. I believe the other party is very willing.

This saves costs compared to round-trip transportation and also ensures the quality of the ingredients.

Kyoto is different from the northern part of Daqi. It rarely snows in winter, but after a winter rain, the leaves fall off and the temperature drops sharply.

In the tenth month of the lunar calendar, it snows for the first time in the north, but Kyoto is still green.

Li Haitang counted the time and decided to write a letter to Ji Qiu, telling him to go to the mountains to help burn the floor cage and dry the house at home.

No matter how good the yard is, it will become dilapidated if no one lives in it for several years and loses popularity. There is a cold pond in the backyard of my home. From the cold pond, you can catch a kind of black-skinned fish with few spines and extremely tender meat. You can slice it into pieces and boil it in hot water, then add oil to make a big pot of steaming boiled fish. Sitting by the window at home enjoying the snow, watching the cat quietly

Winter, how comfortable.

Li Haitang likes this kind of life, eating and waiting to die, eating well and being lazy, spending a lot of time focusing on the rising sun and setting sun instead of worrying about some inexplicable things.

Xiao Lingchuan heard the report from his subordinates and learned that his wife was at the restaurant. He put down what he was busy with and hurried to Songhe Street.

"Husband."

Li Haitang stood up, her face flushed. She was still fooling the savage husband last night and had a day off today. No, she was caught so quickly.

Her face burned when her lie was exposed.

Xiao Lingchuan waved his hand nonchalantly, "That's it. It's not easy for my wife to lie in bed for two months. If she wants to go out for a walk, he supports it."

Xiao Lingchuan glanced at the plate on the table and found that the food on it was almost untouched. It was obvious that Li Haitang had a bad appetite.

"I haven't had time to eat yet."

As soon as Xiao Lingchuan arrived, Wufu, who was about to file a complaint, walked out of the door, leaving space for the couple.

She didn't know what private conversations the two had. Anyway, every time, she was kicked out because she wanted to gossip, but no one gave her the chance.

"Sir, Cui Niang showed me the payment booklet, and I suddenly realized that we can make our own ice and save costs."

Li Haitang had a new idea and immediately informed the savage husband that she couldn't get saltpeter anyway, so she had to rely on Xiao Lingchuan in the end.

"Is it reliable?"

Saltpeter is not difficult to find, but there are not many of it with high purity. Besides, he has not heard of anyone mastering the skill of making ice.

There is a dedicated ice-making master in the palace. It is not that there are no businessmen who want to touch it. After all, no one is stupid and can see huge profits from it. However, the idea is an idea and it is not realistic after all.

First of all, technology is a major difficulty.

"Don't forget where your wife came from."

Li Haitang had a look on her face. She had solved the most worrying problem today and she was in a good mood.

Mo Ruhai became her subordinate and would manage the shop from now on. As the owner, she didn't have to do it herself, she could just wait and collect the money.

"Okay, I have some right here."

Xiao Lingchuan's eyes were deep. What he didn't say was that he had saltpeter powder because he had been researching and developing gunpowder recently.

His brother went to the open sea and found that the gunpowder in the open sea was very powerful, so he found many ways to purify saltpeter. Once it was done, the power of combat increased dramatically, which was beyond the comparison of a few fireworks.

"That's great. Now, let's try it out."

Li Haitang raised his eyebrows, shut up smartly, and did not ask the savage husband about the origin of the saltpeter.

The more she knew about these things, the more tired she became, but she didn't care.

With the saltpeter in place, Li Haitang first took some pure water and put it into a jar, and then asked someone to prepare a large basin.

She poured water into the tub, placed the jar in the center of the tub, and closed the lid.

Finally, a large amount of saltpeter was poured into the water.

The moment to witness the miracle is coming. In order to show that this thing is not that easy, Li Haitang mysteriously recited a spell.

Xiao Lingchuan was helpless. No matter how he looked at her, she didn't look like she wanted to make ice cream, but she was a great dancer.

After a while, Li Haitang slowly opened the lid of the jar. He held the jar in front of his savage husband.

"Husband, try the ice!"

Li Haitang felt the coolness and was very confident in making ice.

Xiao Lingchuan nodded, easily smashed the ice in the jar, and poured it out.

This ice is extremely solid, and the taste is sweeter and mellower than freezing in winter. Water with saltpeter added can be reused. As long as the water evaporates and recrystallizes into saltpeter, it can be reused.

Compared with repeatedly transporting ingredients, it is simpler to use saltpeter to make ice. Not only can you save a fortune, but it can also benefit your own family.

Xiao Lingchuan's face was expressionless and numb, but he was quite surprised in his heart.

Daqi clearly prohibits reselling ice cubes, but there are many prohibited things. The sale of illegal salt in the south is prohibited, but who has listened? Otherwise, how could the Chen family accumulate a large amount of wealth?

"It's Yaohua Zhai. It's a pity. I hired a good shopkeeper."

Li Haitang took the savage husband's arm and shook it, and the problem appeared before him again.

If you don’t want to do the rouge and gouache business, what should you do?

In such a good location and a high-end shop, you can't afford to buy something with poor countertops.

She could see that those rich people were not afraid of expensive things at all, but were afraid of being too cheap and losing value.

Therefore, everyone knows that the sky-high price of soy sauce bottles and sewing baskets should not be so expensive, but they feel comfortable being ripped off.

"Bookstore."

Xiao Lingchuan found a way for his wife.

There are more than a dozen bookstores on Songhe Street alone, selling books related to scientific examinations.

The owner is afraid of a bad reputation and is determined not to sell some storybooks and miscellaneous books. Otherwise, if word spreads, the reputation will be ruined. If a scholar comes in, he will be said to be a self-destructive person.

Selling books requires a lot of investment, but the returns in the later period are high, and no one will come to smash things, and the prices are open and transparent, which saves a lot of trouble.

"Husband, that area has three floors. Is it suitable to open a bookstore?"

Li Haitang only thought about how to make money from women, but he never thought about selling books.

"suitable."

Xiao Lingchuan did not explain too much, but left room for imagination to his wife.

Li Haitang lowered his head and pondered the feasibility of it. From the admiration these ladies have for the calligrapher today, it can be seen how boring they are in the boudoir. There are no computers or the Internet in Daqi. The young ladies from wealthy families are all literate. When they have nothing to do, they just find people to talk to and listen to plays. They must be hungry for books.
