Zhuo Zheng certainly wanted to do the work in all the workshops.

But this certainly cannot be said.

He thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go to the canning workshop. I'm curious about what cans are."

Candles, scented soaps and soaps are all available on the market now, but no one knows what these cans look like.

Once he has learned how to can food, he can find an excuse to move to another workshop.

Shi Qingluo was not surprised by his choice. "Okay, the canning workshop will start working in a few days once everything is ready. You can start working."

Zhuo Zheng smiled shyly, "Thank you, sister, you are so kind."

Shi Qingluo thought to himself, I hope you can still laugh in the future.

Zhuo Zheng looked at her expectantly and asked: "Can I move to your guest house?"

The guest house is right next to the main house, so he can also see if he can find a chance to sneak into the main house and find some useful things.

Shi Qingluo shook his head apologetically, "I'm afraid this won't work."

Zhuo Zheng didn't expect her to refuse, "Why not?"

Shi Qingluo replied: "Because if you want to work in the workshop, you will naturally not be our guest."

"If you live in the guest house and go to work in the workshop, there will definitely be gossips about you getting in through the back door. How unpleasant it would be!"

Zhuo Zheng: “…”

He forced a smile and said, "It's okay. I'm not afraid of gossip. Let them say whatever they want."

He wouldn't be spending much time with those people anyway.

Shi Qingluo laughed, "You are not afraid, but I am!"

Seeing Zhuo Zheng was a little confused, she explained, "Because this is a workshop built by the county government, if someone says you used a backdoor, they will say things like my husband is unfair behind my back."

"In order not to affect his reputation, you cannot stay in the hospital."

Zhuo Zheng: “…” It turned out that he was just being too sentimental.

She pretended to be doing good for Zhuo Zheng and said, "In fact, you have been out for more than ten days. Your mother may be anxious. How about I ask someone to send you back to North City?"

Zhuo Zheng immediately shook his head, "No, I don't want to go back so soon after coming out this time."

He looked pitiful again, "If I don't live in the hospital, where can I live? I have no money now."

Shi Qingluo said as a matter of course: "The workshop also built dormitories specifically for those who work overtime or whose homes are far away."

"You can move in today."

Since he wanted to work, she helped him.

But if you want any special treatment, forget it.

Moreover, she was sure that Zhuo Zheng would not be able to find any reason to refute what she said.

Sure enough, although Zhuo Zheng wanted to live in the inn, since Shi Qingluo said so, he couldn't refuse.

Otherwise, she would really have to ask someone to send him back to North City, and his efforts would be in vain.

So she nodded obediently, "Okay, I'll listen to you, sister."

Shi Qingluo gave him a smile, "Very good, I knew you were a worry-free person."

She added: "Work hard. If you pass the imperial examination and become an official in the future, this experience will be helpful to you."

Zhuo Zheng nodded happily, "Okay, I will do my best."

Her mother said that if his father succeeded in his rebellion, she would make him the crown prince.

If that day really comes, it will be helpful in the future if we know more about people's livelihood now.

Zhuo Zheng agreed, and Shi Qingluo asked Xiao Hanzheng's people to take him to the dormitory of the canning workshop.

After everyone left, Shi Qingluo raised his lips, hoping that Zhuo Zheng could hold on a little longer.

The workshop is not a single dormitory, but a room for six to eight people.

She had already agreed with Xiao Hanzheng last night that if Zhuo Zheng really chose to work in the workshop.

Then let's arrange Zhuo Zheng and the other three spies, as well as four big men with bad tempers, loud voices, and smelly feet to live together.

The workshop has not officially started yet, but there are already five people living in the dormitory.

He couldn't help but ask, "Can I change to another room?"

The servant shook his head apologetically, "Master Zhuo, this is the last dormitory with an empty bed."

"If you don't want to live here, you can only rent a house or an inn outside."

“It’s actually most convenient to live in a dormitory when you have to work every morning and evening.”

Zhuo Zheng: “…” His purse was stolen, otherwise why would he need to live in such a shabby dormitory.

He could ask for some money from the person who was protecting him secretly, but he couldn't explain it to Shi Qingluo.

Moreover, this is Xiao Hanzheng's territory. If he is accidentally discovered to be in contact with those people, he will be in trouble.

He suddenly felt very difficult.

He could only say: "I want to see Sister Shi again."

The servant politely declined at first, but Zhuo Zheng kept pestering him.

He could only take Zhuo Zheng to see Shi Qingluo again.

As soon as Zhuo Zheng saw Shi Qingluo, he asked to borrow money and wanted to go out and continue to stay in the inn.

However, Shi Qingluo rejected it.

Shi Qingluo gave him two choices: either live in the dormitory and work in the workshop, or have someone send him back to North City immediately.

In order to investigate the situation of the canning workshop and learn the recipe, Zhuo Zheng had no choice but to endure it.

I was sent to the dormitory by the servant again.

Seeing the other three people who didn't look like villagers covering their noses with sweat towels, he had no choice but to follow their lead.

And deliberately struck up a conversation with the three of them.

He also felt a bit resentful towards Shi Qingluo. How could this woman be so cruel?

How could anyone bear to let him, a humble and modest gentleman, suffer this?

But he had boasted in front of many people that he would definitely get the prescription, so no matter how disgusted he felt, he had no choice but to endure it.

I just hope I can get to the core and the recipe as soon as possible.

After arranging things for Zhuo Zheng, Shi Qingluo put his affairs aside.

He took people to several villages with many wild flowers, taught the villagers how to keep bees, and signed contracts for the future purchase of honey and beeswax.

This place is also suitable for growing wolfberries and red dates.

Shi Qingluo found a dozen more villages and led the villagers to plant wolfberry and red date trees, and also signed purchase contracts.

After a few days of busy work, a batch of ceramic jars and wooden bottle caps needed for the canning workshop were made.

Shi Qingluo checked it over and found it was well made and very tight, and the bottle cap with the rubber ring would not leak.

She had already asked Xiao Hanzheng to collect the seasoning for the mutton.

Her cooking skills were average, so she asked her mother-in-law and sister-in-law to help with the seasoning.

It took several days to prepare the dish and dozens of kilograms of mutton were cooked before the taste was brought to its best.

After successfully making the clay pots, she taught the selected people to start making braised lamb, stewed lamb, and clear-cooked lamb cans.

Stewing meat is easy for anyone to learn, the worst thing is that the seasoning won’t be that delicious.

Therefore, the key to making canned mutton is to prevent the canned meat from leaking and store it for a long time without spoiling.

Shi Qingluo had never tried this before, so she just followed the "Book of Time Travel" and spent most of the day tinkering with it with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law before she succeeded.

"After this batch of mutton is ready, open it one by one and taste it ten days later. If it has not deteriorated, then it is good and you can continue to produce in large quantities."

Although all the processes to prevent the cans from leaking and spoiling have been completed, Shi Qingluo still plans to finish this first batch and try it out ten days later before making the second batch.

If it goes bad, try again.

Xiao Hanzheng trusted his young wife very much, "Okay."
