Famine and exile: I brought the Spirit Spring to save the entire Marquis's mansion.

Chapter 72 Do you believe me?

Sang Ning stopped when the water level reached the middle of the tank.

They laid several layers of pebbles at the bottom and then threw in "maifan stone," which can make water sweet.

In this way, the soil quickly settles into the cracks in the rocks, and the water becomes clear. As long as you don't stir it vigorously, it will never become turbid.

Sang Ning plans to secretly put a piece of oilcloth under the stones tomorrow to prevent leakage, and then add half a tank of water every day. This way, in addition to cooking and eating, there will be enough water for the two of them to take a bath.

Finally, Sang Ning smashed the bottom of the water vat and slammed it into the spring pit. From the outside, it looked like an ordinary water vat half-buried underground.

This way, it won't attract attention.

Then, completely enclose this semi-enclosed kitchen, and everything will be fine!

"Alright, I'm going out to buy some soapberries, everyone wash your hair."

In this era, soapberry was the most common and cheapest material for washing hair and bathing, and ordinary people could afford it. It was probably the only one available in Liangzhou.

Wealthy families use tea seed cake powder, which is made by pressing tea oil from the seeds of the tea tree and then grinding the remaining fruit residue. It has anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effects, but it has a strong oil-removing effect and can easily make hair dry.

Therefore, wealthy people would use Polygonum multiflorum and ginger water for hair care after washing their hair.

The women of the Marquis's household probably lived such good lives in the past.

However, none of these are as good as soap.

She went out to see where they could slaughter pigs and make some pig pancreas soap.

"Then I'll boil some water first!" Xie Yurou happily scooped up some water.

"I'll go gather firewood." Huo Jingya took the rope off the wall and left.

We still have to thank this family; they left behind quite a few usable items.

Li Yuzhi smiled sheepishly and said, "I'll go to my second uncle's place first."

So everyone divided up the tasks.

As soon as Sang Ning stepped out, she entered her spatial dimension, caught a few large black fish, and cooked them.

She first set aside two pieces of meat for Huo Chang'an to use as a substitute for the "Tai Sui" (a type of rare fungus). After deboning the rest, she minced the meat, added two large eggs and some cornmeal, stirred it, and then shaped it into small meatballs.

I boiled them in water until they took shape, then took them out. I plan to make a meatball soup for dinner tonight.

Go take a look at the small vegetable garden; the wild vegetables that were thrown in are so fresh and juicy, they already look like cultivated vegetables.

There are also several large pumpkins.

An old woman from Lujia Village gave her a dried-up pumpkin. After she finished eating it, she threw the seeds into her spatial storage. Now the pumpkin has grown to the size of a ball, and she can't finish it in one meal!

After happily reviewing the contents of the space, Sang Ning decided on the food for tonight and then left the space.

Liangzhou is really too barren.

A few years ago it was better; merchants from other places came to do business, and the market was able to circulate.

In the past two years, there has been chaos and bandits have been rampant, so few people dare to go this way.

Many things were out of stock, money was devalued, and people produced and sold their own goods, making bartering the norm.

Sang Ning traded a bunch of fresh, green wild vegetables for a pile of soapberries.

He traded a large pumpkin for a bag of shriveled small potatoes.

He traded three liters of corn for a pig's pancreas and a piece of pork belly.

I spent some more money to buy alkali powder and went to the pharmacy to buy medicinal herbs, including Stemona japonica.

Boiling the root of Stemona japonica in water and using it to wash your hair can kill insect eggs and eliminate lice.

Money is really worthless.

The few taels of silver in her hand were gone just like that.

But it doesn't matter. She will make food and sell it on the street another day, selling it cheaper so that people can keep their money circulating.

Sang Ning was stuffed full of things and tried to avoid people as she walked home.

As I passed by a group of houses, I saw a strange woman.

She sat on the ground, her face haggard. She had delicate features, but her face wasn't particularly beautiful. Instead, she possessed a kind of ancient beauty that evoked pity in me.

His eyes were melancholy, filled with sorrow.

This kind of woman is the most attractive to men.

It attracts not only men, but also women.

Anyway, Sang Ning really likes this color.

But what does she want to do?

He stared blankly at a sharp stone for a long time.

Could it be that he wants to commit suicide?

A little girl, about five or six years old, peeked out from around the corner, barefoot.

Nuonuo called out softly, "Mother~"

The stone in the woman's hand fell to the ground, and her numb eyes regained their focus.

"Feng'er..."

"Mother!" The little girl rushed over and hugged the woman's neck, her face filled with fear.

"Mom, I saw it. Dad kicked you last night. Why did he kick you? You scratched him, and he still kicked you. Dad is bad, he's awful! Mom, don't cry."

"No, your dad didn't do it on purpose. He was just in a lot of pain. Yes, he was in a lot of pain."

Pain my ass! It's just bullying women, and mothers have to cover it up in front of their children.

Hey, woman.

"Mom, I'm hungry."

Hungry, what should I do?

Now I don't even dare to drink too much water.

The woman struggled to hold back her tears, her lips trembling uncontrollably.

Although there was no sound, Sang Ning seemed to hear a heart-wrenching cry.

Hey.

"Little girl, come here, Auntie has some food here," Sang Ning called out.

She told the children in her family that she was used to it, but she was actually only eighteen, or more accurately, she should be called the older sister.

Before the woman could react, the little girl had already run over.

"Feng'er! Come back!" the woman called out warily.

However, Sang Ning had already grabbed a handful of fish balls and stuffed them into the little girl's hand.

Then, without saying anything more, he left.

"Mom, it's so delicious! It's so delicious, you have to eat!"

"Feng'er, save a few for your grandparents..."

Sang Ning vaguely heard the woman say that.

She ignored it and hurried home.

"Wow! So many potatoes, such big pumpkins! Fourth Sister-in-law, why did you buy so many? We don't have that much money!"

Huo Jingya took the bag of potatoes; she was so impressed!

She almost spent all her savings on incense, so how could Fourth Sister-in-law bring back so much stuff!

"I have a way, I'll take you to make money together another day."

"it is good!"

"Hasn't my sister-in-law come back yet?"

"Nope!"

Ignoring her for now, Sang Ning locked the door.

The family members took turns washing their hair in a wooden basin.

After everyone finished washing, Sang Ning took water to wash Huo Chang'an and also gave him some "Tai Sui meat".

"There's still one? I thought it was dead."

Sanning: "..."

I was too tired yesterday and forgot to cook for him.

"Well, actually, it really isn't very energetic anymore, and it might really be dying. I think we've already given it quite a bit, and the effects are all coming later. Even if we stop eating it, it will get better."

"What do you say?"

The boy smiled.

"you're right."

He felt that what was more effective was not the fish and meat, but... the medicinal soup she had personally prepared.

Every time I finish drinking the herbal decoction, I feel a warm, tingling sensation in my lower back for a while.

Sang Ning smiled and praised himself for being very clever.

Hey! She won't have to cook fish anymore!

Eat this for two more days and the Tai Sui will be dead!

Anyway, it's all thanks to the spiritual spring water and the medicine that nourishes tendons and promotes blood circulation.

She made Huo Chang'an lie on the edge of the bed.

"Hey? What happened to your face?"

He lay down, his hair falling to both sides, revealing his entire face, which startled Sang Ning.
