I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

 Chapter 709 She is the happiest baby

Based on her understanding of her mother-in-law, as long as she works hard and is obedient and sensible, her mother-in-law will not treat her badly.

"Good girl, mother will go and clean up now, and follow your grandma to the county tomorrow."

If she does a good job, maybe her mother-in-law can give her a reward. Now that her daughter is getting older, she also has to save a dowry for her daughter. Although the mother-in-law will not treat her daughter badly when the time comes, she is a mother and cannot give nothing.

　　Yesterday, the second sibling showed off her makeup box, which already contains half a box of jewelry, which her mother-in-law has bought one after another this year.

The second sister-in-law said that this was all the dowry she had saved for her daughter.

A few people got on the carriage and drove all the way out of the village, heading directly towards the county.

“Bring some of the materials we use to make pearl balls. If you have any new tricks, bring them too. Use them first. If there are not enough, we can go to the county to buy them.”

Bai Yunxi looked at Dr. Cheng’s frown and couldn’t help but joke,

“We have only known each other for a day or two, why would I limit you to a dangerous situation?”

 “Ice...it’s really ice.”

“I need saltpeter, mainly because I want to do a small business to prevent food from spoiling and keep it in ice, which is just suitable for the current weather.”

Even Doctor Cheng was surprised. As a doctor, he only knew that saltpeter is a mineral type of traditional Chinese medicine, cold in nature, slightly bitter, slightly salty, and returns to the stomach and large intestine meridians.

“Don’t worry, mother, I will take good care of my second sister-in-law, and I will also urge Yaya to memorize and practice calligraphy without any delay.”

 If nothing else, Doctor Cheng and his disciples are really good in character. They are not only benevolent doctors but also have great righteousness. She has always admired such people.

Bai Yunxi looked at Du Shi. Although she didn't know what Yaya persuaded her to do, she was still very satisfied with Du Shi's positive attitude.

The family had dinner early, and when the sun was not too poisonous, they put the prepared ingredients into the carriage and took the unused saltpeter with them.

Looking at the eyes of the two people gradually widening, Bai Yunxi chuckled and motioned for him to do it himself.

“Cheng didn’t know that saltpeter has this effect.”

 Baiyunxi couldn't help laughing when he saw his nervous look. The saltpeter of this period was well used, and he only needed to add sulfur and charcoal to make fireworks and firecrackers.

He really doesn’t know any other uses.

 As a doctor, I feel guilty that I don’t have a comprehensive grasp of medicinal materials.

Several young daughters-in-law that I usually have good friends with now ignore her, saying that she is lucky and not the same person.

"Hey~, I understand." Mrs. Du nodded, turned around and went out happily. Bai Yunxi looked very curious, what method did the eldest granddaughter use to arouse people like this?

the next day

Although the ingredients are simple, most people don’t know how to make firecrackers, so people have always used saltpeter as a medicine. As soon as this man arrived, he asked for one hundred catties, so Doctor Cheng had to think too much.

Seeing the master and apprentice staring at him nervously, Bai Yunxi cleared his throat.

“Doctor Cheng, don’t worry, I guarantee that it will be used for legitimate purposes and will not harm anyone. Otherwise, wouldn’t I be hurting your Baohe Hall?”

Xiaochun gently picked up the tea bowl, and the cool touch made him shiver. He brought it closer to his eyes and looked carefully.

Baiyunxi chuckled lightly and didn't hide it.

“It is said that a line is separated by a mountain. Doctor Cheng is a doctor, and he only needs to know the properties of the medicine. As for the other uses of saltpeter, knowing it is of little use.”

She doesn’t have to work in the fields. She only cooks for a few people and takes care of the family. It’s not too easy.

 Two hundred five. Two hundred and thirty four. One hundred and forty six. Seventy-one

“Since you are so curious, go get a bowl of water.”

Xiaochun also knew that he had made a mistake, so he quickly covered his mouth and subconsciously turned his head to look at the medicine hall. Then he slowly breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest.

Before setting off, Bai Yunxi directly told her daughter to take good care of the house, take good care of Mr. Li, and not make any mistakes.

 Ever since the last dinner at home, her father no longer worried that she would suffer, and said that she was the most blessed child in the family.

Hearing her mother-in-law’s reminder, Du Shi’s eyes lit up, she rubbed her hands and looked at Baiyun River.

“Mom, I know several kinds of flowers that can be dyed. The same kind of tapioca flour can make many small **** of different colors.”

Xiaochun looked at Baiyunxi and came over with bright eyes, "Aunt Bai, what do you want to do with so much saltpeter? Tell us a little bit?"

Li held a cattail leaf fan and said with a smile,

"Mom, just go and make money with peace of mind. I am not a piece of paper. How can I be so squeamish? Compared with those little wives in the village, I am more blessed and don't have to do anything. They are working in the fields despite the bright sun. .”

Yaya is seven years old this year. She has not even saved a piece of cloth. Compared with her two younger siblings, she is not a competent mother.

 Because it is leftover tea, it has a light turquoise color.

That sour and envious tone made her feel happy.

Bai Jingjing looked at a few people. Her mother took her sister-in-law to the county town, Sister Wen drove the carriage, and Xiaosi joined in the fun. They were the only ones at home.

Looking at her daughter's big eyes and chubby little face, Du Shi silently clenched her fists. This time she followed her mother-in-law to the county town to work hard and let her mother-in-law see her attitude. If she buys things for her again, she will definitely save them. , keep it for your daughter as a dowry.

There is a large storage cabinet under the carriage, and some things can be placed on the roof, which is much more practical than a trolley.

 “Pick up your tea bowl and have a look? What’s the change?”

 The preparations started before the daughter was born, but she obviously has the same things as her second sibling. Except for the new one bought by her mother-in-law, which she still wears on her head, the rest were taken away by her mother and sister-in-law.

 “Then take it with you, the more colors, the better.”

Looking at the disciple's frightened exclamation, Doctor Cheng glared at him. Fortunately, there was no one in the medicine hall at the moment.

Looking at the curiosity in Cheng Xiaochun's eyes, the child changed his name to Aunt Bai after getting acquainted with Xiao Si Shunzi.

Dr. Cheng listened and nodded, "That's it."

 Baiyunxi looked at Xiaochun's curious look, grabbed a handful of saltpeter and melted it in the water. Then he picked up a white porcelain tea bowl on the table. There was just a little unfinished tea in it. He put it in the bowl and let it sit for a while.

Having made up her mind, Mrs. Du did not hesitate and got up to find Baiyunxi, "Mom, what do we need to bring when we go to the county tomorrow?"

 “Hehe...fortunately there is no one at the moment.”

A few days ago, before she could return to her parents' home, her father came to see her. He also brought pickled melons and small clothes from her parents-in-law's sister-in-law, telling her to take good care of her, stop running around, and strive to win a boy and have a baby. A big fat boy who makes my mother-in-law happy.

Baiyunxi paid and asked Wenyou to carry a sack of saltpeter into the carriage.

Their pharmacy only kept five or six kilograms for spare, and the rest was bought by Baiyunxi.
