Travel to ancient times and become rich women with your bestie

After cleaning the kitchen, it was gradually getting dark and Duan Minmin and her family prepared to go home.

"Amin, you guys should come to my house for dinner tomorrow. I'll leave this pot here. You can chop some raw food to feed the pigs for now."

"Ok, ok, no problem." Duan Minmin waved her hand indifferently.

It was then that the little girls realized that their own pots had been moved here. Although they were surprised, looking at their mother's expression, they thought that she and Aunt Zheng must have discussed it beforehand, so they did not ask any questions.

Zheng Yuan pulled Duan Minmin aside again and told her that she had lied to Dashu and the others that the reason her personality had changed drastically was because her soul left her body and she met her original husband. She asked her to think of an excuse and to explain her drastic change in personality when she talked to the children about doing business together tomorrow.

"It's a good idea for the soul to leave the body and go to the underworld." Duan Minmin didn't want to think about it at all. It was ridiculous anyway, so she might as well just bite the bullet and die.

Zheng Yuan poked her amusedly.

"Then let's go back, Yuanbao. I'll come again tomorrow morning. You keep the saltpeter and we'll do it again tomorrow." Duan Minmin said as she walked out, yawning.

"Bye~Bye~"

After seeing them off, Zheng Yuan quickly got some hot water to wash up, as he was covered in the smell of cooking smoke.

After a day of hard work and feeling exhausted, Zheng Yuan quickly fell asleep after washing up and lying on the bed.

The next morning, she got up when the children woke up, washed up, and prepared to go to the fields with her tools, but the four children stopped her.

"Mom, you just stay at home, we'll go to the fields." Erhe smiled flatteringly.

"Yes, yes, mother, you don't have to go to the fields anymore." The big tree also echoed.

Turning his head to look at Hui Niang and San Ni, he saw that they also agreed. Zheng Yuan knew that he had made her picky and she couldn't get used to the wild vegetable porridge.

"Okay, then Sanni will stay at home with me. Your Aunt Duan and her family will come over to eat soon. You can help me."

Sanni naturally agreed.

I was chopping pig grass in the kitchen when Xing'er and Mei'er came in breathlessly, each carrying a few bags. "Aunt, my mother asked us to bring you the food from home. She told me to tell you, 'Don't save for her, cook more for her.'"

Zheng Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He took the bag and said, "Okay, Mei'er and Xing'er, then you guys should come over early to eat."

The two of them agreed and ran back happily. They still had to go back to chop grass to feed the pigs. It was more convenient for Zheng Yuan to feed them raw food directly in the pot.

God knows how happy they were when they saw Aunt Zheng cooking at home. It’s no wonder that mother was happy to eat at Aunt Zheng’s house every day.

When the sun was high in the sky, the people who had worked in the fields returned home one after another.

Although this meal was not as sumptuous as last night's, Zheng Yuan used all the fat from yesterday's braised pork to cook some dishes, so everyone was still very satisfied with the meal.

After dinner, Zheng Yuan decided to tell the children about her and Duan Minmin's plan.

"After you finish eating, don't leave yet. I have something to talk to your Aunt Duan about."

Several people who were about to stand up quickly sat back down.

"I know that your Aunt Duan and I have reconciled these past few days, and we are living together again. I cook lavishly, and you guys, Dashu, are a little nervous. Including Taoer and you guys.

Today, I will tell you about it. Your aunt and I didn't have any deep hatred before, we just got stuck in a dead end. But after this clash, your aunt and I both came to the same conclusion and reconciled. After talking, we found that we can actually be good friends. Right, Amin?"

Duan Minmin nodded hurriedly, and repeated the same story Zheng Yuan told her last night: "Yes, yes, you don't know, we went to the underworld during the days we were unconscious, and met your father, who scolded me. After that, I met your aunt, and we talked for a long time down there, and we reconciled when we woke up."

The children of Zheng Yuan's family had heard this before, so they were not shocked. However, it was the first time for the three sisters Tao'er to hear this, and they were all surprised and opened their mouths wide. But they were not sad to hear that they had met their father, because their father was not kind to them.

Regardless of how much the children believed it in their hearts, at least it was talked out now. No one had to hide it anymore, and both of them felt relieved.

"You also know the situation of our two families. We can't support our family with just that little bit of land, so your aunt Duan and I plan to do some small business." Zheng Yuan continued.

"Mom, what business are you going to start?" Sanni asked. She knew it should be related to the thing they were tinkering with yesterday afternoon, and she was very curious at the moment.

"Your aunt and I decided to sell ice jelly."

Ice jelly? The few people who originally thought it was a good idea were looking forward to it, but when they heard it was ice jelly, they immediately lost their confidence.

Ice jelly, this thing is nothing special, and it needs to be poured with sugar. I can't sell more than a few bowls a day. What kind of business is this? Don't make money in the end and lose the capital.

Looking at their expressions, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin knew what the children were thinking.

"Your aunt and I have already figured out a way to make ice yesterday. You will know it soon. With this ice, are you still worried that you won't be able to sell it?"

"Making ice?!" The big tree stood up suddenly, scaring everyone.

Realizing that he was too excited, he scratched his head and sat down: "I'm just too surprised that you actually figured out a way to make ice."

Seeing how silly he was, Xu Hui Niang reached out and twisted him, causing him to grimace in pain.

"We found out about this by accident. Anyway, with this ice, I believe our ice jelly will be a big hit. Tomorrow is the big market in Yongding County, and your Aunt Duan and I decided to give it a try. If it works, we won't have to work so hard."

"Yes, so you will have to work hard in the fields during the day. Your aunt and I will study and prepare everything at home. Since our two families are going to do business together in the future, we hope that you will treat each other as family members and help each other." Duan Minmin added.

After saying that, everyone was silent. Due to the influence of the two mothers who had the final say, no one dared to question them.

That's right, after all, we haven't seen the results yet. It's normal for the kids to not be able to accept the two of them just because they are making big promises. Just tell them in advance, so that they can accept that the two of them will be as close as one person, and some strange things will emerge.

After giving the instructions, Sanni and Sizhu were left at home, while the other children went to the fields as usual.

After the children went downstairs, the two began to study ice making.

Duan Minmin took a larger ceramic bowl and filled it with some water. She then took the bucket that was used for filtering yesterday and put the ceramic bowl into the bucket. She then poured water into the bucket, being careful not to cover the rim of the bowl.

Zheng Yuan found the bag of saltpeter, and she took it and carefully poured a small amount into it and stirred it. The two squatted beside the bucket, staring at it eagerly.

Sanni and Sizhu were also very curious. Making ice in the hot summer was really rare. They came over and stared at the bucket eagerly.

One adult and four children just stood there with their butts sticking out, staring at the bowl, their breathing starting to slow down.

"It's done!" Suddenly, Duan Minmin jumped up.

"Where? Where?" Zheng Yuan rubbed his eyes, a little doubtful.

"Here!" Duan Minmin pointed at the ice flowers that were beginning to condense on the edge of the bowl. At this time, the three of them saw that the edge of the bowl had begun to freeze. They reached out to touch it and found that it was indeed icy cold.

"It's done! It's done!"

"It's really ice, Auntie, you are so awesome!"

Several people were very excited and jumped and laughed around the barrel.

But after a while they couldn't laugh anymore. Why didn't it continue to freeze? Seeing that there was only a circle of ice around, the three of them looked at Duan Minmin in unison.

Duan Minmin confidently took the bag of saltpeter and said, "There is only one truth: quantitative change leads to qualitative change."

"speak English!"

After adding a little more saltpeter, Duan Minmin replied, "In human terms, the amount of saltpeter is not enough."

Sure enough, as she added more water, the ice in the bowl began to solidify again. After about a quarter of an hour, the water in the small bowl was completely solidified.
