28. Let’s go to town together

"I purified the salt, and the rest is used for other purposes."

Soon Shen Xingqi knew what the filtered impurities were used for.

Cheng Xi took out a handful of yellow particles and sprinkled them on the thick snow in the yard. After a while, the snow melted completely.

Shen Xingqi: "!!!"

One tael of silver and one pound of salt, my sister-in-law actually used it to melt snow?

Where did this wealthy family come from?

Cheng Xi saw the "I've seen a ghost" expression on her face and twitched the corner of her mouth helplessly.

"Eating the filtered food is not good for your health. Now we just make the best use of it."

"Yeah, I understand! Sister-in-law, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

"?"

Little girl, what on earth have you imagined?

"Tomorrow I will go to Fucheng with Uncle Li Zheng."

The meeting in the ancestral hall was held from noon to dark, and Shen Xingluo didn't return home until the stars and moon were shining outside.

Cheng Xi saw that he was cold and added a few pieces of charcoal to the iron stove.

"Weren't we just discussing buying food? Why are you back now?"

"A few families were making a big fuss."

Shen Xingluo's eyes were sarcastic, "Sixth uncle plans to let every household save some food for the New Year, but the price of food is not cheap, and some people think that they are spending money in vain."

Cheng Xi: "???"

It’s already this time, why don’t you stock up on food?

You are real men.

If you have the ability, always be so tough!

"I'll go tomorrow. Your presence in Fucheng is too conspicuous."

"..."

Shen Xingluo looked up at her and quickly agreed, "Okay, I'll write a letter and you can drop by the inn."

The inn belongs to the imperial court, and every time he arrives in a city, there will be a dedicated person to manage it. Cheng Daqian only needs to find the inn to have a high chance of seeing the letter.

It doesn't matter if you miss it, the letter will return on its own.

Cheng Xi felt that his father had a big bug in rescuing Aunt Sun.

Early the next morning, she set out with the villagers.

Arriving at the entrance of the village, all I could see were bears that were wrapped up tightly, or gray forest bears!

Cheng Xi could only secretly put away her thoughts of sliding over, and walked slowly behind the crowd.

Think of it as exercise.

While walking, she took the time to take out a thermometer, and the red liquid dropped to minus 16 degrees.

The 20-mile journey took three hours. By the time the men buying food arrived at the city gate, they were all numb from the cold.

"Damn, this weather is so weird!"

"No, it hasn't been this cold during the Chinese New Year in previous years."

"I don't know when the snow will stop..."

Everyone couldn't help but complain, but Cheng Xi's eyes fell on the soldiers at the city gate.

In just ten days, the gatekeepers went from four to two, and I don’t know when it started from two to six now.

Moreover, their clothes changed from simple city guard uniforms to armors, and their energy levels improved by more than one level.

Something's wrong!

She took a few steps forward and approached Shen Manyun.

"Uncle Li Zheng, let's ask everyone to buy more food today. As much as we can buy."

"What's wrong? Why do you say that?"

"Look at the soldiers at the city gate."

Shen Manyun looked at him confused, "What happened to the soldier?"

Stand up straight!

"When I came here last time, there were only two of them, and they were not dressed like they are now. Don't you feel that they are different from usual?"

"!"

Shen Manyun looked at it again and took a breath of air.
