"I, I don't know either."
Liu Mengru said with tears: "I only remember that we were defeated repeatedly when we fought against Beinu. Our army was surrounded by enemy troops."
"The general sent me to lead a small group of people to break out and bring reinforcements, and he also gave me the tiger charm."
"It's the jade pendant with the word "willow" written on it. It's not a symbol of my identity, but a tiger symbol."
"As for what happened next, I can't remember it."
"Then you buy me at a tooth shop..."
Tiger charm?
That jade pendant turned out to be a tiger charm!
Zhao Ping was also shocked.
Back in time, he had been developing in a low-key manner.
Not to mention being linked to imperial power, he didn't even dare to offend a mere seventh-grade county magistrate.
It's good now that the wife he married is actually a general holding a tiger charm.
Fortunately, six years have passed, and everyone probably thinks Liu Mengru is dead.
As long as the information is not revealed, he can still continue to develop.
Yes, you must never let others know about Liu Mengru’s life experience.
After making up his mind, Zhao Ping said sternly: "Mengru, don't mention this matter again."
"Think about it, six years have passed and the war has ended. If you return to Beijing now, you will undoubtedly give people an excuse."
"What if the emperor gets angry and kills your whole family?"
"Have you considered me? Have you considered Xiaoxiao?"
"And your family."
"If you die in battle, you are a hero. Your family may not be affected and may even be proud of you."
"But if you go home now, aren't you throwing yourself into a trap?"
"I……"
Liu Mengru was choked by the question.
"So, this matter cannot be made public."
Zhao Ping continued: "We can only search for your family secretly, and then go to meet the saint after making sure they are safe."
"Isn't that bullying the emperor?"
Liu Mengru said.
"What kind of deception?"
Zhao Ping glared and said: "You have lost your memory and have forgotten the past. What's more, you have made military exploits before. Even the emperor has to remember your achievements."
"Okay, okay."
Only then did Liu Mengru agree.
From now on, we will just take care of the textile factory and let Zhao Ping find out about her life experience.
Zhao Ping accepted it happily, then untied Liu Mengru and apologized again.
Liu Mengru looked at him looking busy and guilty, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.
With such a husband who loves and protects me, what else can I ask for?
Even if she can't remember the past for the rest of her life, she still feels happy.
Having no worries about food and clothing, and receiving great respect, this is the life that every woman in the Dawei Dynasty longs for.
Liu Mengru threw herself into Zhao Ping's arms and burst into tears of gratitude.
Since Zhao Xiaoxiao, a little lightbulb, was watching from the side, the two simply hugged for a while and got to the point.
"Mr. Sir, can you make frosting?"
Liu Mengru raised her pretty face and asked.
"able."
Zhao Ping said: "And it's very simple."
"Pour the yellow mud water into the brown sugar syrup for decolorization. Not only can you make frosting sugar, but you can also get part of the brown sugar. The quality of the brown sugar is better than that sold in Yun'an County."
"Great, now we don't have to worry about money."
Liu Mengru said excitedly: "In my impression, frost sugar is a tribute item from Nanzhao Kingdom. It is very precious. One pound is worth a thousand taels of silver."
"That's right, that's right..."
"Just what?"
Zhao Ping asked.
"I am guilty now and cannot return to Beijing. Otherwise, I can help you sell the frosting sugar."
Liu Mengru said.
"Hahaha."
Zhao Ping rubbed her hair and laughed: "Mengru, your husband and I can take care of the money-making thing. You only need to be responsible for your beauty."
"Ms. sir, Xiaoxiao is still here, don't say such shameful things."
Liu Mengru blushed and scolded softly.
"Okay, don't say it. Let's talk about it at night."
Zhao Ping said: "Mengru, you rest a little longer, and I will make soap."
"Xiao Xiao, come here and help me light the fire."
"What's soap?"
Liu Mengru asked curiously.
"It's just something you use to wash your hands, face, and bathe."
Zhao Ping explained briefly, "When I make it, you will be the first to try it."
"kindness."
Liu Mengru nodded and lay on the bed to rest again, with a beautiful curve on her face from time to time.
Zhao Ping took Zhao Xiaoxiao to the kitchen.
Zhao Ping didn't know much about soap making. In his previous life, he only learned about it while watching videos and knew that lard should be mixed with plant ash.
But Zhao Ping does not know the specific proportion.
Moreover, Zhao Ping also didn't understand the order, temperature, etc.
We can only explore slowly.
Fortunately, nothing happened during this period, and he had roughly grasped it.
Officially produced today.
Pour the clarified plant ash liquid that had been prepared long ago into the pot and let Zhao Xiaoxiao light a fire to heat it.
When it's almost done, pour in the lard and start stirring.
However, seeing this scene, Zhao Xiaoxiao ran away directly.
While running, he shouted, "Mom, mother, it's not good, my father started to waste money again. He poured plant ash into lard."
"A whole large pot of lard was covered with ash. It was so dark that it was impossible to eat it anymore."
"I……"
Zhao Ping was speechless for a while when he heard those words.
I can only control the heat and stir at the same time.
Not long after, Liu Mengru came.
She did not ask Zhao Ping how he made it, nor did she blame Zhao Ping for wasting lard, but took the initiative to help him light the fire.
In about forty minutes, a pot of soap was ready.
Zhao Ping found the mold.
That's what he took the time to let Lu Xiu and his son do.
In addition to the square shapes, there are also several heart-shaped ones and five-pointed star shapes.
It was his gift to Liu Mengru and Wen Hui.
Pour the soap inside.
One pot of soap liquid made more than thirty pieces of soap.
After drying, it can be officially used.
After the autumn rain, the weather warms up again.
Like Qiuhuhu, it can reach thirty-five degrees at high temperatures.
If the soap is dried at such a temperature, it will be released from the mold in three days.
After taking shape, Zhao Ping planned to go to the county town with frosting sugar and soap.
There are slightly more wealthy people there, so you might be able to sell them for a good price.
And he also planned to explore the situation of Xiangsijiu.
It was actually sold for five thousand taels of silver per jar, which was much higher than he expected.
Could it be that the county is very wealthy?
That's going to be quite a killing.
He wants to kill the big dog, and some people also plan to kill him as a big dog.
For example, Cao Qing fled to Pingyuan County.
After discovering that more than half of the infected people were infected, Cao Qing fled Yun'an County with his family.
But the weather was bad, it kept raining, and we didn’t go fast.
In five days, we have just arrived in Pingyuan County.
When he was resting, he was caught up by his domestic slave and told him that the plague in Yun'an County was under control.
"Under control? How is this possible?"
Cao Qing said in disbelief: "Lin Hua's medical skills are almost the same as mine. At that time, he also went to the village to see the situation and even offered treatment, but it had no effect at all."
"I just escaped and he controlled the plague. Are you lying to me?"
The house slave hurriedly knelt down and explained, "Master, how dare I lie to you? The plague is really under control."
"But it's not controlled by Doctor Lin, but by a guy named Zhao Ping."
"Zhao Ping?"
Cao Qing was stunned for a while and asked: "Is he the one who cured Miss Tian's family in the county?"
"This villain doesn't know either."
The house slave shook his head.
"How did he control the plague?"
"Zhao Ping invented a mask that can be worn on the face to isolate the plague from the outside. He also boiled a medicinal soup and gave it to patients to drink three times a day. After drinking it for two days, there were basically no symptoms. After drinking it for three days, the symptoms were basically gone. Recover.”
"So magical?"
Cao Qing said unexpectedly: "Have you got the formula?"
"No, but I also caught wind and cold a few days ago. The yamen servant gave me the medicinal soup, and I hid a bowl. When I get back, I will try it myself and I should be able to work out the formula."
"Hahaha, good job. I'll give you a white flour bun to eat tonight."
"Thank you, sir."
After the slave left, Cao Qing fell into deep thought.
To escape or not to escape?
If he continues to run away, he becomes a real refugee.
Not only has he lost his status as a medical officer, he will no longer be able to practice medicine.
In such troubled times, a man like him, who cannot carry his shoulders or lift his hands, and has no land, can only live in vain as a refugee.
The money he earns is enough for this generation to save some money.
But what about the next generation?
What about the next generation?
But if he doesn't escape, how should he return to Yun'an County?
Cao Qing thought about it for a while and made up his mind, "I won't run away for the time being. I will stay in Pingyuan County and wait for the result."
"If the plague is not completely controlled, continue to escape."
"If it's under control, then return to Yun'an County."
After dinner, he called the slave over again and asked him to continue to inquire about the situation in Yun'an County.
Four days later, the house slave returned to announce the good news.
The plague in Yun'an County was completely eliminated, and people rushed to set off firecrackers to celebrate.
"Are they really wiped out?"
Cao Qing stroked his beard and said, "Let's go back to Yun'an County."
"Master, you can't do that."
The lady advised: "When the plague appeared, you, as a medical officer, escaped."
"Now that the plague has been lifted, if you go back, you will definitely be targeted by the county magistrate. When the time comes, our whole family will go to jail."
"What you said makes sense."
Cao Qing nodded, "But I don't want to be a refugee for the rest of my life."
"Besides, without the status of medical officer, what will happen to our family's food and drink expenses in the future?"
"Furthermore, Huang Fengnian is a man who loves money. As long as we take out some money, he will definitely forget about it."
"But just in case, you guys should stay in Pingyuan County."
"I will take my apprentice back to Yun'an County. After making sure it is safe, I will send someone to pick you up."
"So best."
The lady breathed a sigh of relief.
Husband and wife are like birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes.
She didn't want to follow Cao Qing to die.
And Cao Qing was also a smart man. Before leaving, he spent some money to buy a carriage of medicinal materials.
Then he took the people back to Yun'an County.
After two days of rectification, he took the medicinal materials to the county government and met with the county magistrate Huang Fengnian.
"Cao Qing, how dare you come back?"
When Huang Fengnian saw Cao Qing, he immediately blew his beard and glared, "When I heard about the outbreak of the plague, as a medical officer, you turned around and ran away. Do you believe that the county magistrate will kill you now?"
"Magistrate Huang, the official did not run away."
Cao Qingqi said with a smile: "I went to collect medicinal materials instead."
"With so many people sick, a large amount of medicinal materials must be needed. The reserves in Yun'an County are completely insufficient, so I took the whole family to buy medicinal materials from other places, pulled two donkey carts, and left them outside, with those flowers But it’s all the official’s own money.”
While talking, Cao Qing handed Huang Fengnian two banknotes.
Worth two thousand taels.
"Ah? This..."
Huang Fengnian was also a human being and could understand Cao Qing's intentions instantly.
He smiled and put the banknote into his arms.
Anyway, the plague has been lifted, and Cao Qing is so sensible, so there is no harm in sparing him once.
But Cao Qing did not just leave. Instead, he looked around and asked in a low voice, "Magistrate Huang, there is a big deal here in Xiaguan, do you want to do it?"
"What big deal?"
Huang Fengnian asked curiously.
"Sue Zhao Ping."
Cao Qing said.
