Shi Qingluo pulled Xiao Hanzheng to the destroyed main hall to take another look.
She said, "Let's find a Feng Shui master tomorrow to see if we can build the main hall here. If we can, we'll hire someone to start construction."
"Let's find the best feng shui place for the master to worship."
Finding a professional to confirm it will have better results.
Besides, if you are going to do it, do the best.
Xiao Hanzheng nodded, "Okay."
After the two men finished their discussion, they walked out of the Taoist temple. Shi Qingluo locked the door, and the other man went down the mountain carrying a basket of saltpeter on his back.
The next day, Xiao Hanzheng and the clan leader went to the county town and bought the mountain behind the old house and the land at the entrance of the village.
This time the mountain was much larger than the bamboo forest hillside, so the price was much higher, costing three hundred taels of silver.
The vacant land at the entrance of the village was not expensive. It was the price of wasteland, four taels of silver per mu. There were ten mu in total, and he spent forty taels.
Xiao Hanzheng found out the address of the most famous Feng Shui master in the county and went to visit him directly.
Mr. Li happened to be free today, and having heard the story of the Taoist priest ascending to heaven, he agreed to go back to the village with them to take a look.
When Xiao Hanzheng was going to rent a carriage, he met Bai Xu.
Bai Xu was very interested in the legend of the old Taoist priest, so he took the initiative to suggest going to see it together.
Xiao Hanzheng did not refuse. It was just so happens that the group could ride in the Bai family's carriage back to the village, saving time and effort.
When the villagers heard that Xiao Hanzheng and his wife had asked a Feng Shui master to choose a site for the old immortal to rebuild the main temple and then enshrine the spirit tablet there, they all supported it.
He also said that if there is a need, feel free to ask everyone to help.
The villagers from several nearby villages are very awed by the old immortal.
Everyone had a better impression of Shi Qingluo. It seemed that the old immortal’s love for this disciple was not in vain.
After returning to the village, I didn't stop.
Xiao Hanzheng went to call Shi Qingluo to go up the mountain together.
It was the hottest time of the day at noon. Shi Qingluo cooked mung bean soup and put it in the wooden barrel with partitions made by her husband.
I'll prepare some for everyone to drink after I check the Feng Shui.
The wooden barrel actually has a layer inside for storing food, and a hollow layer outside, which is specifically used to store ice made of saltpeter to serve as a cooling device.
She just mentioned it casually after coming back last night, and her husband actually took a knife and made a small wooden barrel with compartments.
Only then did she realize that he was also good at carpentry and was truly multi-talented.
After placing the small wooden barrel in the backpack and a few bowls, Shi Qingluo got on the carriage and went to the Taoist temple together.
When we reached the foot of the mountain, the carriage couldn’t go up and we had to climb up by ourselves.
The Taoist temple is halfway up the mountain. After climbing up, everyone was sweating all over.
After opening the door and entering the Taoist temple, Mr. Li walked around and looked at the Feng Shui first.
Bai Xu looked around, didn't find anything strange, and was a little disappointed.
He kept fanning himself, "This weather is really getting hotter and hotter."
If I had known, I wouldn’t have come along to suffer.
When Shi Qingluo saw his expression, he guessed what he was thinking.
She chuckled and said, "If you didn't come today, you would probably regret it."
Bai Xu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why?"
Shi Qingluo held the wooden barrel and said, "You'll know in a moment."
Bai Xu: “…” Hateful, keeping him on suspense again.
After a while, Mr. Li came back.
He pointed at the destroyed main hall and said to Shi Qingluo, "The location of the main hall chosen by your master is the best place for Feng Shui. It is where all the outstanding people of this mountain gather."
"I guess your master saw that this was a good place for Feng Shui, so he built the main hall of the Taoist temple here."
"So I suggest that you continue to rebuild a main hall here to enshrine the spirit tablets."
Shi Qingluo was delighted. What the gentleman said hit all her points. It turned out that the money spent on Feng Shui was well spent.
She nodded and thanked him, "Okay, thank you for your advice, sir!"
Now with the recognition from the most powerful Feng Shui master in the county, our reputation will be more legitimate in the future.
This way she can lay a good foundation and make it easier for her master to "manifest his power".
After looking at the Feng Shui, Shi Qingluo invited Mr. Li and Bai Xu to sit down in the side hall to rest.
And took out mung bean soup for them to drink.
Mr. Li and Bai Xu were both surprised when they drank the cool and refreshing mung bean soup.
Bai Xu asked, "Did you add ice to your mung bean soup?"
Shi Qingluo said truthfully: "I didn't add ice, but I kept it cool with ice."
She opened the small wooden barrel and showed it to the two of them. It was obvious that there was unmelted ice in the hollow space inside.
Bai Xu was surprised and asked: "Where did you get this ice?"
Neither his family nor the Wu family in the county could afford to build an ice storage.
As far as he knew, only the wealthy and powerful families in the capital had ice storages to store ice in the winter for use in the summer.
It is impossible to have ice in the county town in summer.
So he was very curious about where Shi Qingluo got the ice.
Shi Qingluo chuckled: "That's why I said, you will regret it if you don't come today!"
She added: "This is the ice I made myself."
This time Mr. Li was shocked, "Mrs. Xiao Xiucai, you can actually make ice?"
Isn't ice stored in the icehouse in winter and used in summer? How can it be made? This question also puzzled Bai Xu.
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "In fact, we can make ice in summer with just one thing."
Mr. Li and Bai Xu were both very curious and wanted to know what it was, but they knew better than to ask.
Bai Xu didn't ask this, but couldn't help asking: "Did your master teach you this?"
Shi Qingluo nodded as a matter of course, "Yes!"
Yes, it was the master who taught her. Everything was taught by the master. She just likes to make friends with brain-boosting experts like Xiaobai, ahem! Bai Xu didn't doubt it this time.
After all, Shi Qingluo is just a village girl, how could she possibly understand these magical methods.
He also thought, could it be that the old Taoist really ascended to heaven? Otherwise, how could he make ice in the summer?
Mr. Li's originally scattered mind also became more restrained.
He is really good at Feng Shui, and the location of this Taoist temple is indeed a place with excellent Feng Shui.
He therefore guessed that the old Taoist should also understand Feng Shui.
He just didn't expect that the other party actually knew these magical methods, which made him feel in awe.
It seems that even if the old Taoist is not the so-called old immortal in the legend, he is definitely a master of Taoism.
After drinking the iced mung bean soup, everyone felt much cooler and refreshed, and then went down the mountain.
Bai Xu asked Xiao Si to send Mr. Li back to the county town, while he shamelessly followed Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo back to the Xiao family.
After Mr. Li returned to the county, he couldn't help but tell others that Shi Qingluo knew how to make ice, because Shi Qingluo didn't ask him to keep it a secret.
Of course, the key point is to emphasize that it was the old Taoist who taught her.
In fact, Shi Qingluo deliberately let Mr. Li and Bai Xu drink iced mung bean soup and let them see the ice with their own eyes.
It was also within her expectation to publicize it. What she wanted was Mr. Li's help in promoting the advertisement.
As for Bai Xu, he was not originally in Shi Qingluo's plan; they just happened to meet him.
Because this matter had a magical aura, it quickly spread throughout the county.
Young Master Wu also heard about it the first time and immediately went to find the head of the Wu family.
He walked into the study room with an excited look on his face and told the head of the Wu family what Mr. Li had told him.
"Dad, if we can get this method of making ice, it will be of great benefit to our family."
