Xie Rongzhao suddenly thought of a way, but she had never tried it and didn't know if it was really effective.
"I heard someone say that if you soak it in salt water, wash it with clean water and dry it, the cloth will be the same as before."
Cheng Jingzhou was stunned: "What did you say, dear baby?"
The shopkeeper on the side looked slightly happy: "Have you ever seen it with your own eyes, young lady?"
Xie Rongzhao thought about it seriously: "I did see someone try it like this, but it was a piece of fabric, not a whole piece. Then I saw her put a lot of salt in the water, then soaked the cloth in it, and finally used Rinse it with clean water and dry it, and it’ll be fine.”
Cheng Jingzhou thought: "You can try this method."
The shopkeeper thinks it's not difficult. At worst, you can cut off a piece and try it. If it works, then process it in large batches.
Even though the washed cloth is not as smooth as new cloth, at least there is no color difference. It will not be affected when you take it home to make clothes. At most, it will be sold for a few cents cheaper, which is more cost-effective than selling defective cloth.
Xie Rongzhao followed around and couldn't find a way to make a lot of money, so he lost interest and had no energy.
"My dear, do you want some candy snowballs?"
Xie Rongzhao blinked and suddenly remembered that his fourth brother and little brother Xiaolang were here.
"Brother Jingzhou, when are we going back to see my grandma?"
"Are you homesick?" Cheng Jingzhou held her hand and asked Changsheng to buy a pack of sugar snowballs.
Now that the weather is warm, almost no one makes candied haws. However, this candy snowball can be stored for several days, and it tastes sweet and sour, and is very popular with some children.
Cheng Jingzhou always responded to Xie Rongzhao's requests, and she didn't even need to speak in person.
The two first asked Mrs. Cheng for instructions, then went to pay their respects to Grandma Cheng, and then took a carriage to Xiejiazhuang.
Along the way, Xie Rongzhao was a little excited.
Xie Rongzhao felt happy when he thought that he could see his grandma again and go up the mountain to try his luck.
When Liu Ruolan saw her daughter coming back, she naturally hugged her and had a warm and affectionate meal.
When Xie Ronglan saw Cheng Jingzhou coming, she felt that she had another chance, so she went back to the house to dress up, and then took the initiative to serve refreshments.
Cheng Jingzhou treated her calmly, showing no like or dislike.
Cheng Jingzhou didn't sit here for long before he was pulled up the mountain by Xie Rongzhao.
"I'm very lucky. Maybe we can dig up valuable medicinal herbs soon."
Cheng Jingzhou changed into a beige outfit directly on the carriage. After all, he was wearing a long gown, which was really inconvenient for entering and exiting the forest.
Xie Rongen was not there, so Changsheng and Master Wu followed, mainly because they were worried that they would encounter wolves or other beasts again.
"Brother Jingzhou, let's go this way. There are pheasants here. We'll go to the cabin later. We can cook there. Brother Little Wolf may come."
Xie Rongzhao then remembered that he hadn't seen Xie Xiaolang for a long time and didn't know how he was doing recently.
Some people also saw Xie Xiaolang without even saying it before they arrived at the cabin.
Xie Rongzhao saw that his face was black and gray, and he looked obviously much thinner than the last time he saw him.
"Xiaolang, why are you carrying such a heavy load of firewood alone? Put it down quickly and sit down to rest."
Cheng Jingzhou frowned slightly. He was still not happy that Guobao was suddenly so kind to a son from another family.
When Xie Xiaolang saw her, he was a little surprised at first, and then he was happy.
"Sister Guabao is back?"
Xie Rongzhao said with a solemn face: "Call me sister, not sister Guobao."
Xie Xiaolang smiled and said nothing.
Master Wu helped carry the bundle of firewood, and then the group went to the cabin.
"Did they bully you again?"
Xie Xiaolang shook his head: "No, at most they won't let me eat. Since the last time when the eldest brother and the fourth brother went to find the uncle, they didn't beat me that much."
Only then did Cheng Jingzhou notice Xie Xiaolang's overly slender arms, which felt much thinner than Guobao's.
"I'll hide some food here. You can come here to make food later."
Xie Rongzhao had already had this idea.
Previously, because he and Xie Rongen were both in the village, he was allowed to eat with him from time to time, so Xie Xiaolang could always have a full meal every two or three days.
But now that he was staying at Cheng's house, Xie Rongen was sent to do other things again. Xie Xiaolang couldn't keep up with his food, so he lost a lot of weight again.
"No need, there are so many people here, I don't know who will steal it when the time comes."
Xie Rongzhao bit his lip. The cabin was indeed not the most secretive of their several secret bases.
"Then let's move to the cave over there."
"Sister, don't worry about me. There is a lot of food on the mountain now, so I won't be hungry even if I pick fruits."
"How can it be the same?"
Fruit is fruit, how can you really rely on this to make a living?
After more than half a month, Xie Xiaolang finally had another full meal, and it was still meat!
Cheng Jingzhou took out two thick cakes and said, "Take this and hide it in your room when you get back. When you are hungry, soak it in hot water and eat it."
This kind of pancake is made of white flour, with salt and oil added to it. Moreover, this kind of pancake is very dry and can be stored for four or five days without going bad.
Xie Xiaolang was originally a little wary of this rich young man, and always felt that he and he should not appear on the same occasion. Now when he saw these two cakes, he was still a little dazed.
"Xiao Lang, take it quickly. Brother Jingzhou is so good. If you take it, he will come often in the future."
Xie Xiaolang had never dealt with Cheng Jingzhou, but he listened to Xie Rongzhao's words.
When they went down the mountain again, Xie Rongzhao was still a little disappointed because she didn't find any precious medicinal materials. Could it be that only when her beautiful father was with her could she have such good luck?
Xie Rongzhao felt that there was a lot of money waiting for her to get it on the mountain, but she couldn't find the right place, which made her very depressed.
After getting on the carriage, Cheng Jingzhou mentioned Xie Xiaolang to her again.
Xie Rongzhao really liked this younger brother and wanted to change his fate of tragic death in his previous life.
"Actually, the little wolf is really well-behaved, and what the people in the village said is not true. How can you blame the wolf? He is just a child, how can he be a broom star? They just deliberately bully the children. Can talk."
Cheng Jingzhou could understand her mood. She liked Xie Xiaolang, so she wanted to protect him.
"Have you mentioned to uncle before that you want to adopt him?"
Xie Rongzhao became even more frustrated when he mentioned this.
"My father didn't agree. He said that having me is enough, but my mother-in-law obviously doesn't think so, and my father-in-law and grandma also want grandchildren more."
Cheng Jingzhou could understand, after all, his grandmother also liked her grandson. After all, a man could carry on the family line and shine on the family lineage in the future.
"Uncle must have other plans, don't think too much about it." (End of Chapter)
