Chapter 23 Crude Salt Purification
When Jingxue heard Xiaoman mention that there was mutton and radish, she said, "Let's make mutton and radish soup tonight and make some pancakes!" She realized that there were no potatoes in this dynasty. If there were potatoes, potato shreds pancakes would be a good idea!
"Xiaoman, go and bring me all the salt in the house!"
Xiaoman was about to ask a question when she remembered her mistress's instructions and swallowed back the words she was about to say!
"Yes, miss!"
Taking the large porcelain jar from Xiaoman, Jingxue said, "Don't let anyone bother me unless I call you!"
"Yes, this servant understands!"
After closing the bedroom door and entering the space, Jingxue bought a large beaker and an alcohol lamp from Duobao Mall. Today, she planned to use chemical methods.
Without this Duobao system, Jingxue originally planned to use quicklime and wood ash to purify crude salt, but now she can purify it into higher quality refined salt.
The coarse salt of that era only filtered out mud and some impurities that were difficult to dissolve in water; some magnesium and potassium ions remained inside, so it had a strange taste.
In the evening, Xiaoman cooked a dish with fresh salt. She thought it tasted delicious, but she knew that her mistress didn't like her making a fuss. Besides, there were now three little ones in the house, so she couldn't be so outspoken!
After dinner, Jingxue took them for a walk in the yard to aid digestion.
"An'an, have you ever been to school?" Jingxue asked, looking at the clean-cut boy.
“I attended a private school at home! Sister, I only need to know a few characters. I can help Sister Xiaoman with chores at home!” Nan Ze’an felt that it was enough for him to make sure his younger sister was fed and clothed!
Since being kidnapped, he has become more and more afraid. He is too weak to protect his sister. Now that he and his sister are safe, he cannot be too greedy!
Looking at such a sensible child, Jingxue felt a pang of sadness. She patted his head and said, "You're so young, don't rush to do chores. Children still need to study. Studying will at least teach you to speak with restraint, play with moderation, speak with virtue, and act with competence!"
Turning to Yueyue, he asked, "Yueyue, have you ever been to school?"
“Miss, I can recognize numbers and write my own name! My father taught me all of that. He said that these skills are enough for a girl!” Runyue said dismissively.
Seeing the leap month's appearance, Jingxue smiled!
"I'll have the housekeeper hire a tutor for you all when I have time in a couple of days. You all need to learn to read and write, including Xiaoman!"
"Ah? I have to study too? This servant has to do chores!" In her haste, Xiaoman blurted out "I," then realized and changed it back to "this servant."
“Let’s study together and work together! Today I’ll teach you how to recognize numbers!” Jingxue declared decisively, and even picked up a twig to start writing numbers on the ground.
Several children...
What is this thing? It's round one minute and twisted the next!
Seeing the few people who were a little confused, Jingxue encouraged them, "Whoever learns it, I'll teach them a secret move!"
With the reward they wanted, the children learned very quickly. Before long, the three younger ones had learned ten numbers, while Xiaoman was a little slower.
When it was time for bed, Xiaoman suggested that Yingying sleep with her, but the little girl refused and insisted on sleeping with her brother. Jingxue felt that the child hadn't quite adapted yet, so she let her be.
After taking a nap in the afternoon, Jingxue wasn't sleepy at night. She had been busy in the space for a long time, preparing cosmetics for the rouge shop and restocking the general store!
Next, she planned to visit the estate included in her dowry.
A sudden idea struck him: "Treasure Spirit, are you there? Treasure Spirit?"
"Hey! Host, why are you disturbing my sweet dreams in the middle of the night instead of sleeping!"
"Do you have night and day here? Are you still dreaming?" Jingxue scoffed.
"Who's as punctual as you! What's wrong?" The Treasure Spirit's voice was very displeased.
Will there be decoration materials after the mall is upgraded?
"Huh? That's all? Sigh, didn't I tell you? Things that don't exist in this era will come. What's the point of just daydreaming if you're not working hard to level up?"
"I want to level up too? But I don't know where to start. I might as well do a quest!" Jingxue muttered.
"I'm going to sleep now! Humph!"
"Go to sleep, go to sleep! Be careful you don't end up with garbled text in your sleep!"
"My code is gibberish, and you're the one who suffers! Seriously!"
Jingxue rolled her eyes, turned around and went to the restroom. She wanted to use the toilet, and that's when she thought about when to build a modern restroom, and that's when she thought about the decoration materials!
There's only a small sink in this space; it would be so much better if there were a bathroom!
Take a deep breath and keep going, girl!
The next morning, Xiaoman didn't let Runyue come to serve her. Jingxue called the two little ones over and gave them children's toothbrushes, toothpaste, small towels, and moisturizing cream!
Runyue, who was standing nearby, saw the toothbrush with a handle carved with small animals and her eyes sparkled. Jingxue gave her a set as well!
I overlooked it the day before yesterday!
The main reason is that babies born in leap months grow strong and don't look like little children, except for their intelligence!
When they saw Jingxue practicing boxing, not only Runyue but also An'an were stunned and knelt down to become her disciple!
"Hey! Don't kneel down so easily. If you want to learn, I'll teach you. Let's start with the basics! Stand in a stance for half an hour every morning. Once I find a master with great skills, we'll learn together!"
"Yes!" the two little ones stood up and said in unison!
Jingxue was surprised that Lixia had come to the Prince's mansion so early in the morning. She put down her chopsticks and said, "Lixia, why are you here so early? Sit down and eat!"
Li Xia looked at the two unfamiliar little faces at the dining table, paused for a moment, and said, "Miss, I've already eaten. Please continue eating. I'll wait for you!"
"I'm full. Come on, let's go to my room to talk!"
After closing the bedroom door, Li Xia immediately said, "Miss, after you returned to the manor yesterday, I asked Manager Cai to look at carriages and Manager Wang from the general store to look for houses. They actually found one, and the price was finally negotiated down to 350 taels. Adding the 130 taels for the carriage, the total is 480 taels. Miss, what do you think?"
"If you think it's okay, then it's okay. You don't need to ask me for approval on everything!"
“Miss, if we always have a stable supply of goods, I'm afraid we won't have enough staff in the store…”
"Then let's buy a few more people! Lixia, from now on, you don't need to report every little thing about the shop to me. You can make the decisions! When buying people, make sure it's a few women!"
Li Xia looked at Jing Xue with a questioning gaze, puzzled.
"I still have some cosmetics to sell in the rouge shop, and I need some women to explain to customers how to use them. If you think the shop owners are reliable, you can delegate some things to them. If you try to do everything yourself, you won't be able to handle it all!"
"Also, when buying people, it's best if they know some martial arts. You need to be careful about safety, both in the store and personally!"
Li Xia nodded. "Oh, I've got it, Miss!"
Jingxue went back to her bedroom, took out a thousand taels of silver notes, and handed them to Lixia.
"Miss, we don't need that much!" Li Xia waved her hand as she looked at the silver notes.
"Keep this money for the event; it'll be more convenient if you need it later. Let's go to the store!"
