Wait for me, and watch me fight my way back to the reincarnation path

So, Qin Qiong put everything aside and thought about where there was ice.

In fact, it is not difficult, there are goods on the snowy mountains. It’s just that you have to transport it back, and the labor and loss along the way, the price will make you feel even hotter!

Because ice harvesting is labor-intensive and the distance is long, it is really time-consuming!

So, she asked Qu Tou to make some square double-layer boxes. These were boxes without lids. The outer layer could be separated on five sides at the same time, while the inner layer was smaller than the outer layer by half a finger's width and could not be opened. They were used to make ice cubes.

At the same time, she carefully studied the map that had not yet been returned to the prince, as she also had to find the source of the ice.

The prince had no objection to her idea. In fact, the prince had never had any objection to her ideas. No matter what Qin Qiong wanted to do, as long as she told him, he would help.

She found it quickly.

This is a natural cave with an underground river underneath. It used to be a place for caravans to rest, but after the earthquake, the road became inaccessible and the place was no longer valued. Originally, is there a shortage of water on the snowy mountain?

So Qin Qiong asked Aunt Mei to make a few more large quilts and took Qu Tou into the mountains.

After they found the underground river, Qin Qiong was delighted to find that the water was so clean and natural. She was the transporter of nature.

They succeeded after two days of experimenting in the cave. They first used a box to freeze the outer layer and did not add water to the inner layer. When the outer layer had formed a basic ice shape, they added water and took off the inner box. After the whole layer was frozen, they covered the outer wooden box with a quilt. When they came back and put it in the cellar, they removed the outer wooden box.

When they brought back the first truckload of ice, the whole town was shocked again!

This time, Qin Qiong insisted on eating the smoothie. After she talked for a long time, Aunt Mei asked Daixiang to make her some sweet soup. Qin Qiong then crushed the ice and mixed it together, and she finally had the smoothie.

Daixiang's craftsmanship really made Qin Qiong feel that Uncle Qin was taking advantage of him! She was so obedient, so gentle to him, and most importantly, she followed him wholeheartedly!

Just marry her, what else do you want?

If I don't marry her, she will be tempted...

However, children loved this thing the most, so before Qin Qiong had even had it for two days, it was eaten up by the children in the college.

Headmaster Qu led the men to make a lot of ice boxes, and together with the blacksmith, they made an ice crusher as Qin Qiong had mentioned. Qin Qiong went up the mountain again, but before she came down, Mr. Gao sent someone up to tell her to make more, and the ice boxes and quilts for covering the ice would be delivered soon.

Because someone ordered ice at the foot of the mountain!

When she returned to the town, she found that the houses outside the Anmin League had many storefronts opened outward and were rented out to craftsmen as workshops. This was because people from other towns or counties would come to this town to buy things, such as: carts for transplanting seedlings, special wheels for going up the mountain, etc.

The glue stuck on the wheels was the excess that Qin Qiong had when she was testing the crossbow belt. She thought it was of no use anyway, and Dejingyuan and her own alliance would need to burn coal in the future, so there would always be a lot of kerosene. She could collect it and process it together with the natural rubber juice, as her own fleet would also need it.

I didn’t expect Mr. Gao to start selling it right away.

Of course, now there are people transporting ice.

Because there were more people coming and going, some food shops opened on the other side of the alliance site, including a shop called Daixiang that specializes in selling smoothies.

There are actually many varieties of fruits and vegetables in this place, so Dai Xiang made many flavors that Qin Qiong had not even thought of.

Of course, these were all planned by Mr. Gao.

Qin Qiong was very emotional because their Anmin League finally had overnight food!

Tuo Town is now thriving. Dejingyuan has officially started the business of bathing and B&B, and a large bathhouse by the river has also been opened. Douhua and her friends have hired a few more women.

After Guai Liu died, his wife ran away, and three of the women in his yard went to live with Douhua and his friends. Now their business is very stable.

The caravan, the mine, now everyone knows that the town is alive again.

The old families in the town were asking to come back, and the elders of the two major clans were once again attracting people's attention. Other clans also began to regulate their clan rules and build ancestral halls...

The prince has been coming to this small town more and more frequently, and everyone is saying that Tuo Town will soon become a county.

Another thing is that many times, people would see Patriarch Qin sitting on a horse, while the prince held the reins, and the two of them strolled by the river, chatting. Ah! These days are so peaceful.

Nowadays, people no longer turn off the lights and go to bed early at night. Every household will light up the lights. Qin Qiong can often stand on the second floor of her house, facing the wind, looking at the evening scene, and eating her smoothie.

Qin Qiong didn’t know how many people were in the alliance now, because everyone gathered together in the form of a covenant, which was like finding a job here. As long as everyone worked hard and didn’t do bad things, they could have food to eat and get paid.

Aunt Mei converted the former courtyard into a women's home, where women could learn or do something.

For example, because cotton has returned, everyone can spin yarn and weave cloth. She organized everyone to make clothes together, or shoes, hats, handkerchiefs, embroider flowers, etc.

However, the things produced in this way were just mediocre. Qin Qiong felt that it was a waste to do things in this way without any rules.

Aunt Mei knew her. It didn't matter how much women worked, they would have something to tell when they got home. The main thing was that the alliance provided them with meals, so it was better than being called useless by men.

Qin Qiong discovered that many of the people who came here were women from refugee families. Many of them did not have family land and could only be tenants. Now that the trade route has been opened, the men have gone out again. Without men in the family, it is inevitable that there will be some disputes.

Aunt Mei asked them all to come here, learn things, do chores, and have fun together. Qin Qiong then realized that this was Aunt Mei's painstaking effort.

But it’s not a solution to always do this. If we want to eat, we can also eat the poor!

Qin Qiong, Mr. Gao, and Uncle Qin could only think of another solution together.

Aunt Mei was very good at embroidery, so Qin Qiong asked Aunt Mei to divide the women into groups and let those with better handicrafts do embroidery.

Is this the trick?

She asked Uncle Qin to ask the people in the prison camp to paint a few pictures for him in exchange for money.

As expected, the people over there are really talented. When a few paintings came over, everyone took a look and said they were so beautiful!

Qin Qiong then asked someone to make a screen frame, embroider the paintings into the screen, and sell it.

When the prince heard about it, he said that if the embroidery was done, he would buy it. Everyone was very excited! Unexpectedly, before the embroidery was even started, Mrs. Hu from the prison camp came over and started to pick and choose, pointing and scolding. If it wasn't for Aunt Mei holding her back, Qin Qiong would have been so angry that she would have rushed out to chase her away.

But in the end, the old lady said that she could give them some advice. The screens used in aristocratic families were very particular. If they didn't know what they should look like and just did whatever they wanted, they would be laughed at.

She was willing to come over and give some pointers, firstly because she felt sorry for the difficulties faced by these women, and secondly because she didn't want those fine paintings to be ruined by these people...

Qin Qiong was furious, but Aunt Mei was very grateful.
