My daughter was sold, I want to divorce her and go back to my parents' home to escape the famin

"Okay, did you buy it at the grocery store? Can saltpeter be stored for a long time?" Lin Qingran nodded. Saltpeter is a necessity for making ice, so he needs to buy more and store it at home.

"It can be stored for a long time, so buy more!" Lin Qingxue nodded. It seemed that saltpeter could be used for other things, and she could study it when she had time.

The brother and sister chatted for a while, drank a bowl of iced sour plum soup, and then left the space. Lin Qingran took the unfinished bowl of sour plum soup back to his room to rest.

Thinking that there were still many things to do tomorrow, Lin Qingxue went to bed early and got up early. When she woke up, it was already bright. Only her three sisters-in-law and Lin Qingyue were sitting in the front hall chatting. Everyone else had gone out to work.

Lin Qingxue greeted them, ate the breakfast brought by the servants, and was about to go out to the milk tea shop when she heard the doorman say that someone was looking for her.

When she heard someone coming to the door, although she didn't know who it was, Lin Qingxue could only ask the doorman to bring the person over.

"Miss Lin, I, under the orders of the Young Master, have sent you four secret guards who are skilled in martial arts. The Young Master said that these four will be yours from now on and will only obey your orders. They do not need to come back to the Gu Mansion anymore."

The person who came was Wen Su. He was sent to Lin Qingxue on the orders of Gu Jinxuan. It turned out that yesterday Lin Qingxue asked Gu Jinxuan for two people, a man and a woman who were good at martial arts. Gu Jinxuan got busy and forgot about this matter, so he handed the task over to Wen Su.

Wen Su had followed Gu Jinxuan for so many years, and he saw clearly how much Gu Jinxuan valued Lin Qingxue. He didn't dare to be perfunctory, so he immediately returned to the Dark Guard Camp and picked out four people, two men and two women, who were top-notch in all aspects.

"Okay, then please convey my gratitude to your master! Oh, by the way, I'll have to trouble you to go to the food restaurant in West City tomorrow. I heard they've recently introduced a lot of fresh and delicious food. When you go there, please bring some back so that your masters can try it. If they think there's anything that needs improvement or can offer some good suggestions, that would be great."

Lin Qingxue smiled and nodded. She seemed unaware of the curious and gossipy looks from Li Yanniang and others beside her. She still calmly fixed her eyes on Wen Su and the four ordinary-looking men and women behind him.

"Yes, Miss Lin Si, please rest assured. I will definitely see to it. I will take my leave now."

Wen Su hurriedly nodded respectfully in agreement, secretly delighted. Thinking that Lin Qingxue had actually offered something to his master to taste, he knew his master's love wasn't unrequited; it turned out the two of them were in love with each other! This made him genuinely happy for his master.

"Subordinates Wenrou, Wennuan, Wenquan and Wenshui greet the young lady," as Wen Su left, four figures quickly stepped forward, bowed to Lin Qingxue in unison, and called out in unison.

Lin Qingxue raised her hand slightly to signal everyone to excuse themselves, a kind smile on her face. "No need to be so polite. I'm a casual person, not one to follow so many rules. I'm sure Wen Su has already told you why I asked you to come here, right?"

The four of them nodded in agreement. Just because their master was easy-going didn't mean they could be casual. They couldn't make any mistakes in terms of etiquette and status.

Lin Qingxue glanced at them and after a moment's thought, she said, "How about this, Wenrou and Wenquan, you two will go to the academy and teach my brother and the other children martial arts. Wen Nuan and Wen Shui will stay by my side for the time being and await my orders."

Lin Qingxue had already known about this arrangement. Not to mention that she really needed someone to help her handle affairs, even though she was not afraid of close combat, she had never been able to master the coveted art of lightness.

If I could take advantage of this time to ask a master for advice, I might be able to make a breakthrough. Thinking of this, Lin Qingxue couldn't help but secretly make up her mind to find a suitable opportunity to study this magical skill thoroughly.

"Okay, girls!" The four people responded in unison, their voices neat and loud, as if they had rehearsed countless times. Hearing them agree so readily, Lin Qingxue showed a satisfied smile on her face.

Afterwards, Lin Qingxue led the four people out of the house. The five of them got on a carriage. The horses' hooves clattered, the wheels rolled forward, and soon they arrived at the door of a clinic.

After entering the clinic, Lin Qingxue carefully selected various medicinal herbs and utensils. She carefully compared the quality and price of each item, and finally purchased some ingredients needed to make sour plum soup.

Then, they rushed to a nearby grocery store and bought a small amount of saltpeter. After everything was ready, Lin Qingxue went to the blacksmith shop to get his own ice-making molds, plates for grilled fish and other items.

After picking up the things, Lin Qingxue and her group went straight to the bustling milk tea shop, which was her own milk tea shop.

When they arrived at the milk tea shop, they were shocked by the scene in front of them - a long line had already formed in front of the shop, and people were anxiously waiting to taste the delicious milk tea.

However, Lin Qingxue was not blocked by the crowded crowd. She moved flexibly among them, squeezing through the crowd as quickly as a swimming fish, and headed straight for the kitchen.

After arriving at the kitchen, Lin Qingxue quickly rolled up her sleeves, revealing a pair of fair and nimble hands. She first skillfully lit the firewood in the stove, and the fire burned brightly, illuminating the entire kitchen.

Then, Lin Qingxue methodically picked up a bag of carefully selected sour plum ingredients, gently poured it into the pot, added an appropriate amount of water, and then stirred it evenly with a spoon.

As the water temperature gradually rises, the aroma of sour plums gradually spreads, filling the entire kitchen space.

At the same time, Lin Qingxue was not idle. She turned and walked to another corner and started making ice cubes.

She took out a large ice cube mold from the cabinet, carefully poured water into it, gently closed the lid, and placed it in a special freezer. After a while, the ice cube began to solidify and form.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the sour plum soup was finally cooked. The rich sour taste and sweet aroma intertwined together, making people salivate.

At this point, the ice cubes had been successfully made. Lin Qingxue carefully opened the lid of the mold, and pieces of crystal clear, cool ice cubes appeared before her eyes.

Next, Lin Qingxue slowly poured the prepared sour plum soup into a huge wooden barrel, and then gently placed the freshly made ice cubes on top of the barrel to quickly cool the sour plum soup.
