Time Travel: The Foolish Lady is Forced to Become a Female General

Chapter 123 Refining fine salt, simple happiness

Looking at Xia Qin's naughty smile and feeling her small hands holding the handkerchief wandering across her face, Mo Ye felt very comfortable and satisfied.

He chuckled and said, "Then I'll make the fire burn brighter."

Gongsun Xin, Shen Nanfeng, Huo Jinying and others on the side couldn't help but shook their heads when they saw Mo Ye's behavior.

"..."Xia Qin looked at Mo Ye's shameless look and didn't know what to say.

"It's done. Pour the filtered salt water into the pot and continue to boil. Stir frequently and scrape off any frost on the edge of the pot."

Xia Qin continued to direct, and suddenly she felt a little regretful. How great it would be if it was a peaceful and prosperous time now.

She could easily become a wealthy person by making fine salt and soap, which are essential skills for time travel, and then live a comfortable life with Mo Ye and her family.

However, there will be such a life in the future, right?

By the evening, the refined salt had been refined, and half a stone of coarse salt produced nearly thirty kilograms of fine salt.

"Clean these two iron pots for refining salt, bring the mutton and other dishes, and bring some wine."

Mo Ye stared at Xia Qin in amazement: "Xia Xia, are you planning to have a feast?"

Soon, everything will be ready.

"Put oil, add water, and light a fire!"

There were not many people, only Mo Ye, Xia Qin, Shen Nanfeng, Gongsun Xin, and Huo Jinying.

"Wang! Wang Wang!"

And that little grey puppy, so cute.

"It's a pity that Brother Shaoqing is not here, otherwise he would definitely drink more." Mo Ye looked at the several pots of wine and sighed lightly.

Now Lu Shaoqing followed Mu Jinyu to continue chasing the Japanese pirates, and Hong Shengxiang and others have returned to the martial arts world to deal with their own affairs.

"Xia Xia, is this the fine salt you mentioned?"

"Smart, try it, but put less in." Xia Qin said with a mischievous smile.

Mo Ye carefully sprinkled a little fine salt into the Gu, then picked up a piece of mutton, dipped it lightly, and put it into his mouth to savor it carefully.

“It’s no longer bitter and sour, and the taste is delicate and clean, and a lot fresher.”

Mo Ye praised with an expression of surprise, saying that this fine salt was indeed completely different from the coarse salt he had used before.

After hearing Mo Ye's description, Shen Nanfeng quickly tasted it and immediately understood why Xia Qin was so confident in the salt-making business. He admired and said, "Wonderful! Wonderful! Your fine salt is really wonderful! With this fine salt, I can become the largest salt merchant in Daxia in just three months."

What Shen Nanfeng said was true. Whether it was used in the army or in the daily lives of the gentry, there was a huge demand for salt.

In terms of taste and hygiene, there is a world of difference between fine salt and coarse salt, and they can even be sold as luxury goods.

After hearing this, everyone tried it and praised it highly.

"Yisan, you followed the salt making process just now, so you should have understood it clearly," Xia Qin asked Shen Nanfeng, "In the future, if we use this method to make fine salt and sell it to officials and wealthy businessmen at high prices, the profit should increase dozens of times."

Shen Nanfeng's face was filled with excitement: "Don't worry, Lord. With this fine salt and the many salt fields in Jinghai County, we can easily earn more than 10 million taels a year in the future, and all expenses in the county will not be a problem!"

"In this way, the biggest problem is solved." Gongsun Xin breathed a sigh of relief, "It's just that the issue of land and taxes..."

Xia Qin picked up a piece of mutton and whispered, "No hurry, let's take back the land of those officials and wealthy businessmen who have ties with the Japanese and make an inventory in the next few days."

"Yes, Mr. Fu!"

After eating and drinking, Xia Qin and Mo Ye took a walk and unknowingly arrived at the new village.

They sat together on the grass beside the stream, quietly enjoying the early summer breeze, and the little gray cutie also lay quietly beside Xia Qin's legs.

Xia Qin's long hair was blown by the wind, gently tickling Mo Ye's cheek. Mo Ye enjoyed the itchy feeling and said with a sigh of relief.

"Xia Xia, it's been nine years. I can finally stop for a while."

At the beginning of the month, the sky was full of stars, but there was no sign of the moon. Only vague shadows of trees could be seen around. The smell of river water and grass mixed together, making people relax involuntarily.

"Nine years," Xia Qin thought of her life before she traveled through time. It seemed like she had been busy for many years, but it shouldn't have required so much thought and effort. "It's been a long time."

"Yes, it's been a long time." Mo Ye seemed a little tired, perhaps because he had drunk some wine.

Although Xia Qin was looking at Mo Ye, and couldn't see his face clearly in such a night, she could still imagine what he looked like.

"are you tired?"

"I am tired, but I am not tired anymore since I saved you." Mo Ye hugged Xia Qin tightly and leaned his face against her head. "I am really not tired anymore. I am not just being glib."

"Mo Ye, I believe you." Although she always said that Mo Ye was greasy, Xia Qin could feel Mo Ye's intentions, "I always believe in you."

"It's great to have you. It would be great to have you forever," Mo Ye said, his words full of weariness, "Xia Xia, we wasted a lot of time."

"We still have plenty of time," Xia Qin held Mo Ye's hand. For the first time in such a long time, she realized that Mo Ye could also be tired. "Don't worry, we still have a lot of time."

Mo Ye breathed evenly, as if he had fallen asleep.

The little cutie next to me also fell asleep, and his stomach occasionally made gurgling sounds.

Xia Qin couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. It turns out that happiness can be so simple.

Even if it has been a busy day, even if it will be busy for a long time.

"Woo, woof!"

I don’t know how much time had passed, but the sky was already bright and the little cutie woke up first, and seemed to be calling out to the two people who were still leaning against each other and sleeping soundly.

"Xia Xia?" Mo Ye opened his eyes first and called Xia Qin softly.

Xia Qin opened her sleepy eyes, looked around, and finally raised her head and squinted to see Mo Ye's doting eyes.

Mo Ye looked at Xia Qin's sleepy look and liked her very much.

He lifted up Xia Qin's little face and whispered softly, "It turns out that when you wake up, the person you love is by your side. It's such a wonderful thing."

Xia Qin buried her head in Mo Ye's arms and murmured, "I'm sleepy. I need to sleep for a while. I didn't finish my beautiful dream just now."

Mo Ye patted her arm gently and whispered, "Go to sleep, my silly girl."

However, the good dream did not last long, as a voice that was very familiar to both of them came from not far away.

"Master! Sister!"

Mo Ye turned his head and saw that it was Xiaoyu. Xia Qin also woke up instantly.

Xiaoyu ran up to them breathlessly and said aggrievedly, "Master, sister, you two just threw me into the army and left me alone!"

Mo Ye smiled and said, "Don't you have Brother Jinyu and Brother Shaoqing to take care of you? Why are you back? When did you come back?"

"I came back last night, but I didn't find you. The anti-Japanese army suffered few casualties. Brother Jinyu said there were enough military doctors, and there was no need for a little girl like me to follow, so he let me come back first."

Xia Qin also looked at Xiaoyu. In just a few days, he had become darker and thinner, but he also looked a lot more capable.

"Xiaoyu, how did you find this place?"

"It's not just me who's looking for you. Others are looking for you too. There's a commotion near the county government office. Big Brother Huo and a few big brothers I don't know are also looking for you!"

"make trouble?"

Xia Qin looked puzzled. She hadn't started doing anything yet, so why was someone causing trouble?
