My Lord, my wife said she doesn't have time to talk to you.

Fu Shiyan, who had slept on the desk all night, opened his eyes and saw Huaying sleeping sweetly on his bed. He walked over and sat beside the bed, looking at her sleeping face, with a gentle smile on his lips. It was the first time he saw a woman who cried herself to sleep.

The hair on her forehead fell to her nose, dancing on her delicate nose with her breathing, which was very cute. Fu Shiyan gently stroked her hair and hung it behind her ear.

Seeing that it was still early, Fu Shiyan didn't call her to get up. He walked out of the room, washed up, changed the water for the sprouts, rinsed the yard, watered the flowers and peppers, and boiled a few eggs... He felt that breakfast was too simple, so he made two more egg soups.

Huaying was awakened by the sound of egg yolk. She opened her swollen eyes hard and thought to herself, "Oh, I will never cry again. My eyes are really uncomfortable."

When she sat up, she found herself sleeping on Fu Shiyan's bed. Then she remembered that she cried herself to sleep in his arms last night. She patted her face embarrassedly, lifted the quilt, put on her shoes and walked out.

Seeing breakfast on the dining table in the yard, Huaying washed up and prepared to change the water for the sprouts. Fu Shiyan, who came from the backyard, said, "The water has been changed, and the peppers in the backyard have also been watered."

When she turned her head, her eyes met Fu Shiyan's. Thinking of the scene of her crying in his arms yesterday, Huaying's cheeks felt slightly hot and she quickly lowered her head and nodded.

After dinner, Fu Shiyan asked her to go with him when he went to the new store. Huaying thought that the sprouts would be ready tomorrow, so she wanted to prepare the items for the stall at home, so she declined his invitation.

Fu Shiyan told her to wait until he arrived to do the more important work. Huaying didn't dare to look him in the eye and could only nod.

Fu Shiyan looked at her evasive eyes and suddenly understood something. He smiled and touched her head before leaving.

Huaying breathed a sigh of relief after watching him walk away, and said to herself, "Oh my god, this is so embarrassing."

I lifted the cloth covering the sprouts and thought about kneading the dough in the evening. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the storage of cold noodles is also a problem. If this problem cannot be solved, it’s time to change to other dishes.

Seeing that there was very little firewood left in the kitchen, Huaying picked up the small bamboo basket and walked towards the back mountain.

After arriving at the back of the mountain, he picked up a pile of firewood, tied it up and placed it under a big tree, and walked into the deep forest again.

Maybe it was because she had watched too many movies, but she always felt that there was something mysterious in the deep forest that was attracting her.

Huaying walked forward carefully, and suddenly, she heard a gust of wind, which sounded like a cat whimpering.

Huaying stopped and looked around, but saw nothing. She remembered a short video she had watched before, which said that the sound made by a king cobra was like the wind and the meow of a cat.

Her heartbeat began to accelerate, an unknown fear surged in her heart, and she looked around again for the source of the sound.

Sure enough, a king cobra as thick as an arm was found hanging on a tree trunk. Huaying's heart instantly rose to his throat. No way, what you fear will come true. If you get bit by it, you will die here.

Huaying stared at the snake's movements, lifted her skirt and slowly moved backwards, then turned around quickly and ran forward quickly.

She didn't dare look back, she could only hear the sound of the wind passing by her ears. She didn't know how long she ran before a huge cave finally appeared in front of her.

She ran into the cave, picked up a stone, hid at one side of the cave entrance, waiting for something. She looked down and saw that the stone in her hand was a little small, so she threw it down and picked up a bigger stone again.

After waiting for a long time and seeing no snake coming after him, Huaying slowly poked her head out and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was safe outside the cave.

After her tense nerves relaxed, Huaying felt weak all over, so she sat down to rest, thinking about how to bypass the snake and return to the entrance of the back mountain. The bamboo basket and firewood were still there and she had to carry them back home.

After resting for a long time, Huaying felt that her strength had almost recovered. She stood up, brushed off the dust on the hem of her dress and prepared to leave.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, carefully examined the white object on his palm, turned around and went back to the cave, looking around at the white things on the ground.

The ground was covered with diamond-shaped, plate-shaped, grayish-white or transparent gravel with a faint luster. Huaying picked up a piece of gravel and twisted it hard with her hands, and it broke. Looking carefully, the cross-section was smooth.

I picked up the gravel and smelled it, but there was no odor. I stuck out my tongue and tasted it. It tasted salty, cool, and a bit tingling.

Oh my God, this can’t be saltpeter, Huaying was shocked. She had read about it in books when she was in school, but she had never seen real saltpeter.

However, she didn't have a tinderbox or water to verify her guess, so she picked up some gravel, put it in her dress, and took it home to confirm it.

Huaying made marks along the way to make it easier for her to come to the cave next time. If these gravels were really saltpeter, she would have made a fortune overnight.

There is no need to design drawings for others to earn a living anymore. Knowledge is the embodiment of money at this moment.

Saltpeter can not only be used to make ice to help people cope with the summer heat, but it is also one of the main raw materials for gunpowder and has many uses.

The Wu State was established just two years ago, so it probably doesn't have gunpowder yet. If I sell the ingredients and production methods of gunpowder to the emperor, could I get a golden medal of immunity from death or something?

Now Fu Shiyan's shop has money, so he wants to make it more luxurious, bigger and stronger. He wants it to be the number one restaurant in Taohua Town, and then he wants to develop some new dishes so that people here can also taste the delicacies of the world, Huaying fantasized happily.

Along the way, she carefully observed the surrounding environment, fearing that she would encounter a snake again. Huaying did not dare to be careless for a moment and quickly came to the small bamboo basket, hurriedly put the bamboo basket on her back and ran back.

After returning home, Huaying immediately found a tinderbox and water in the kitchen to conduct an experiment. When she put saltpeter into the water, the water soon turned into ice, and Huaying's guess was confirmed.

She was so excited that she couldn't wait to tell Fu Shiyan, who was raising money, about this.

Huaying decided to use the saltpeter to make some ice cubes first and give Fu Shiyan a surprise when he came back.

"Sister Huaying." Dongxue walked into the yard carrying a small bamboo basket. Huaying quickly agreed, "These are the pancakes that my mother made for you." Dongxue put the bamboo basket on the stove.

Seeing the bowl of water and pebbles next to it, he asked with a smile, "Sister Huaying, what is this?"

Huaying took a bite of the cake, put her arm around Dongxue's shoulders and said mysteriously, "I'll perform a magic trick for you later, so you can experience the coolness of summer."

Dongxue knew that Sister Huaying was a capable person, and was looking forward to what she meant by cool.

"Liangpi? I'm really craving it. Sister Huaying, when can I eat Liangpi?" Dongxue's eyes sparkled when she talked about Liangpi.

"The sprouts will only need one more day to grow, and I'll let you make your own cold noodles tomorrow. If you have nothing else to do, we can set up a stall together and you'll get paid." Dongxue worked efficiently, saving himself a lot of effort, so it was only right that he should be paid more.

Seeing that Dongxue's bleached dress was a little short, Huaying, who was chewing a cake, decided to buy her two more sets tomorrow.
