Hearing this, Lin Fangliang spurted out the tea in his mouth.
"This is also in good health. It's okay. I'll get you some medicine later, and you can take it back and try it."
"Okay, by the way, the brother who went out just now is so young and doesn't look like he is sick, why did he come to the pharmacy?" Li Changfeng asked indifferently.
Although Li Changfeng, Lin Fangliang, Wei's second child, and Chen Qitong served in the same team, Lin Fangliang didn't recognize Chen Qi's wife, that's why Li Changfeng asked this question.
Lin Fangliang thought for a while, "Are you talking about the handsome brother who just went out?"
"Yo, you looked really carefully." Li Changfeng said with a smile.
"Hey! Second brother, you can't say that. If my daughter-in-law hears it, I don't know what to do! It's not my memory, isn't it? Besides, the people here are all the youngest. So young, how could I not remember."
Lin Fangliang was afraid that Li Changfeng would be wrong, so he hurriedly explained.
Li Changfeng waved his hand, "Sure, I was wrong, but I'm curious, you haven't answered me yet!"
"It's weird to say that, brother, I gave him a pulse, and I didn't find anything wrong, but he said that he had been infertile for many years. I think it must be a man in his family. There are some problems." Lin Fangliang Shaking his head, he said what had just happened.
Li Changfeng's heart skipped a beat after hearing this, the man in the family had some problems, that means it was Chen Qihe...
"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about other things."
Brother Xie's belly is already six months old, but he is thin and wearing a long robe, so his belly doesn't show much.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, why are you dark?" Brother Xie said while holding the ball, looking at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing smiled, "Isn't this going down for a few days, the sun is hot again, so it must be dark." Xu Qing was not satisfied that he was a little white, so that a healthy complexion would make him look more masculine. .
Brother Xie shook his head with a smile, and looked at Tuan Tuan who was pulling his clothes in his arms, "Our body is getting better and better." Brother Xie looked at Tuan Tuan, thinking about the child in his belly, too. I don't know if his children are so strong.
Xu Qing was a little embarrassed, "I didn't give him anything to eat, but this child is getting fatter and fatter. You can see that his prickly heat is covered by meat."
Hearing what Xu Qing said, Brother Xie gently opened Tuantuan's small arm, and when he saw that it was on his waist, "Yo, how can this be done? Let Fang Liang get some powder for Tuan Tuan and go back and rub it on him. Just wipe it, there are many children in this town, the one they all use, it works."
"Okay, then I'll thank him and godfather for Tuantuan." Xu Qing said with a smile as he pulled the little hand that pulled Tuantuan.
After having lunch at Brother Xie's house, the family of three wandered the street for a while before driving back to the village.
"Hey, Changfeng wait a minute!"
Xu Qing stopped Li Changfeng who was driving, shoved the balls in his hand to Li Changfeng, and hurriedly ran in the direction he had just seen.
"What are you doing?"
Li Changfeng asked Xu Qing inexplicably, but Xu Qing didn't have time to answer. He walked to a wood and scratched the ground with his hands. Then Li Changfeng saw Xu Qing happily walking out holding a pile of stones.
Li Changfeng: "... Daughter-in-law, what are you doing?"
After Xu Qing put the stone in his arms on the car, he excitedly said to Li Changfeng, "This thing is better than the jelly I made last night!" This is saltpeter! ! !
After he finished speaking, he ran to the place again, walked around, and after a while, he held a pile of stones and walked to the front of the car.
After going back and forth a few times like this, just when Li Changfeng couldn't stand it any longer and wanted to help him, Xu Qing didn't go, because there was nowhere to put him in the car except for a little place for him to sit.
"Let's go!"
Li Changfeng looked at Xu Qing, who was full of reluctance but still said to go, and couldn't bear it, "How about we pretend to be a little more?"
"No need." Xu Qing shook his head and took over the ball. It wasn't because he didn't want to pretend, it was because the place was gone.
However, Xu Qing was already satisfied that he could find so much saltpeter here.
As soon as he got home, Xu Qing threw the balls to Li Changfeng, moved all the saltpeter in the car to the warehouse, and started to get busy.
Li Changfeng looked at Xu Qing's busy and happy appearance, and then looked at those ugly stones. Although he was puzzled, these could make his daughter-in-law happy, and he attached great importance to them. They were all put into the warehouse. Li Changfeng left. Before getting to the car, I picked up a stone and looked at it.
"What are you looking at, give it to me quickly." Xu Qing took the stone from Li Changfeng's hand and was about to walk into the house when Li Changfeng said.
"I've seen a lot of stones like this. What are you doing so precious? Why don't I go and pull a cart back for you?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Qing hurriedly turned around and ran to Li Changfeng's side, "What? Where have you seen a lot?"
"It's not far from the back mountain, above the river, there are many stones like this, I'll pull a few carts back for you!"
Xu Qing almost fainted with excitement, "Okay, you can pull me a car back and I'll take a look. If it's what I want, you can pull a few more cars back." This way they don't have to worry about it in the summer.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Having said that, Li Changfeng hugged Tuantuan to Xu Qing and drove away in a donkey cart.
Xu Qing pressed the excitement in his heart and coaxed Tuan Tuan to sleep before he started to do it. Saltpeter can make ice.
When saltpeter dissolves in water, it absorbs a lot of heat, reducing the temperature of the water and even freezing it.
In the ancient Chinese history, some people used this property of saltpeter to make ice in summer to relieve the heat and supply it to the court and the dignitaries.
Here, people just hide the ice in the winter in the ice cellar for use in the hot summer.
Xu Qing put the sugar in the water, then put the water in the tank; took a large plate, filled the plate with water, placed the tank in the plate of water, kept adding saltpeter to the plate, and finally the water in the tank was comparable to the naked eye. It can be seen that ice has formed in front of Xu Qing.
Xu Qing took a sip, it was cool and sweet, and the ice was in his stomach, and the heat on his body disappeared a lot. Well, this thing is real. Thinking of what Li Changfeng said that he had seen a lot of saltpeter, Xu Qing felt more comfortable. The ice in the middle is put into the well, and the large plate is brought to the yard to dry. After drying, it is saltpeter, which can be recycled several times.
"I'm back, daughter-in-law, do you see this?" Li Changfeng was sweating profusely, and returned under the scorching sun.
Xu Qing hurried over to take a look, "Yes! That's it!"
"Okay, I'll run a few more times. There are many rocks there, almost a mountain." Li Changfeng said as he started to follow the rocks in the car.
"Then there's no need to go, since it's all there, it's not too late to go again." Xu Qing and Li Changfeng moved all the saltpeter from the car into the house.
"Come on, go wash your hands, and then wash your face, I'll give you something to eat."
"Good."
Not to mention, it was a hot day, and Li Changfeng was sweating profusely after walking for a while.
Xu Qing took the jar out of the well, brought it to the kitchen, took out two bowls, and poured the melting ice in the jar into the bowls.
"Come on, try it."
Li Changfeng took the bowl and saw the ice in the bowl, his eyes filled with surprise, "Daughter-in-law, this is ice!" Li Changfeng heard in the military camp that only high-ranking officials and nobles use ice this summer! They are all servants at home who collect clean ice in winter, put it in the ice cellar, and use it in summer.
"When did our house have an ice cellar?"
Xu Qing took a sip of ice water contentedly, "We don't have an ice cellar in our house. Of course, this thing was made with my uncle's talent."
"It's made?"
Li Changfeng drank the sugar and ice water in the bowl in one sip, "Is that the stone?"
Xu Qing took Li Changfeng's bowl and poured another one for him, "Yes, smart."
Li Changfeng's eyes lit up, he didn't expect it to be so valuable, but, "Daughter-in-law, don't make any noise about it." If this was known to the businessmen outside, it would be troublesome.
"You think I'm a fool! Don't worry, drink it." Li Changfeng's reply made Xu Qing very satisfied. He didn't ask him how he came up with this thing, nor did he say that he would give it away.
"It's so comfortable, no wonder those dignitaries like to use this thing, daughter-in-law, you really do!" Li Changfeng praised.
Li Changfeng, who had tasted the benefits, after drinking the ice water, drove the donkey cart to the back mountain again, and transported it back and forth several times, until the warehouse could not hold it, and he was willing to give up.
Tuantuan, who woke up after a long afternoon of sleep, also drank some sugar and ice water, but it was not as cold as Xu Qing and Li Changfeng, for fear that the child would have diarrhea.
At night, the room was hot and dry, so Xu Qing put some unsweetened ice in the corner of the room to dissipate heat.
"Today I was in the pharmacy and met Chen Qi's wife." Li Changfeng said quietly, hugging Xu Qing.
"Hey, didn't you say last time that Chen Qi's daughter-in-law, where did you go back?" Xu Qing asked while holding the ball in one hand.
"Yes, this time..." Li Changfeng didn't know how to speak.
"What's the matter? Talk about mother-in-law and mother." Xu Qing put the sleeping group on the crib. "By the way, Liu Shijiang's family wants a stroller, you must remember to make it for him." Liu Shijiang is them A mason in the village has just added a grandson not long ago.
"Well," Li Changfeng turned over and looked at Xu Qing, who saw that Xu Qing's whole body was hairy.
"Don't look at me like that, say something quickly." Xu Qing couldn't stand a man staring at him without saying anything even though he had something to say.
"If a friend is sick, and he doesn't know he is sick, I know he is sick, and the disease is quite serious, but it's hard to tell everyone about the disease, you say I should Shouldn't you tell him he's sick?"
Xu Qing felt dizzy listening to Li Changfeng's illness, "Stop! Can you speak slowly?"
The author has something to say: Little Theater!
Xu Qing: "Old Gong, some people say you are getting old!"
Li Changfeng: "So what, getting older means that I have the experience you don't have, and I can do the poses you don't."
Xu Qing: "...you're shameless!"
