Little did she know that her act of collecting eels would give her a great future.
Homemade mosquito coils, Shi Qingluo did not make them into the modern ones in plates.
Instead, they are made into individual sticks, which is more convenient. You can just light one at night.
In addition to mugwort, wild chrysanthemum and fish bone powder, paper is also needed.
They had already started making paper before the young husband went to the provincial capital.
I just dried some of them recently. Although they are not very smooth and have a yellowish hue, they still need continuous improvement.
However, the current yellowish paper is sufficient for making mosquito coils.
This time the paper was made of straw bark and was relatively rough.
It is mainly used for experiments. After it is successful, we will use bamboo to make it when we move to a new place, and improve it to produce whiter and finer paper.
Several people worked together to make several bundles of mosquito coils.
That evening, both rooms were lit up.
When Shi Qingluo woke up the next morning, there were indeed no mosquito bites on his body.
I didn’t hear any mosquitoes buzzing in the middle of the night and had a good sleep.
Xiao Hanzheng also slept well, "This mosquito coil is really effective."
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "It just so happens that the sugar from the previous batch of beets has been made. Let's recruit some women to come to the workshop and quickly make some mosquito coils and sell them."
Xiao Hanzheng changed his pajamas into a robe, "Are you still cooperating with Bai Xu?"
Shi Qingluo also stood up and said, "I can sell some to him, but I want to attract more merchants to come to our village to buy mosquito coils in bulk."
"It just so happens that many people have come to buy saltpeter recently. We have to keep a steady flow of people coming and going. Only then will the village become more and more lively and prosperous in the future."
"The soy sauce and soybean paste I made earlier are almost ready. Once the shop at the entrance of the village is repaired, I will sell them wholesale there."
This time, she didn't want businessmen like Bai Xu to monopolize the products she made.
We also hope to rely on these to attract many merchants from other places to come for wholesale.
Boost the economy of Nanxi County first.
Xiao Hanzheng has become accustomed to his young wife occasionally saying some words he has never heard of.
She was only like this in front of him, and she was still very careful with her words when she was outside.
"You can try this. I think your idea is good."
"We can also talk to Mo Qingling and revitalize Nanxi County together."
To do this, it would be better if we have the support of the county magistrate.
Shi Qingluo nodded, "I should indeed discuss this with Mo Qingling."
She looked at him with a smile, "This glorious task is left to you, Old Xiao."
She prefers to deal with practical matters, and her husband is more suitable for diplomacy.
Xiao Hanzheng pulled her up and said, "Okay, I'll go."
He asked: "To make mosquito coils, you have to use women to do the work?"
Shi Qingluo replied: "Yes, it doesn't take much effort to make the women in the village earn more money and be more confident at home."
"Sometimes when I want to buy food for my children, I don't have to be scolded by my parents-in-law or do it secretly."
"It makes their lives a little better, so they can buy more clothes every year, and even buy some rouge, powder and accessories."
She had seen several times in the village mothers-in-law scolding their daughters-in-law.
In ancient times, men were superior to women, and women had a low social and family status.
Shi Qingluo was not unrealistic in wanting to change to the so-called equality of men and women.
But I still want to try to improve the living environment of women to the best of my ability.
She feels that whether in modern times or in ancient times, if one can earn money and have an income, one does not have to rely on others for food and can stand up straighter.
Of course, this does not apply to those who cannot climb up the wall even with the help of others.
Although their county is not very poor, it is definitely not a rich county.
Many women in the villages only wear two or three sets of clothes throughout the year, and they keep patching them when they are broken.
The same goes for the children. Not only are their clothes shabby, but she sees many children in the village running around barefoot.
In the original body's memory, those villagers who could wear a pair of cloth shoes in winter were considered to be from very good families.
Most people wore straw sandals and went out in the rain and snow.
She wants to change these things, even if she is very insignificant, it doesn't matter, she just starts with the people around her and does as much as she can.
These words touched Xiao Hanzheng deeply.
My young wife is really special, she has such a broad mind.
"Okay, I support you no matter what you do."
He reached out and hugged Shi Qingluo, "Next year's imperial examination, I will work hard to pass it and support you."
He became more eager to pass the imperial examination and become an official.
As his young wife's business became more and more numerous and bigger, he had to hurry up so that he could cling to her.
Shi Qingluo hugged Xiao Hanzheng's waist and smelled the faint scent of ink on him, "Of course, Old Xiao, you are my biggest supporter."
Then she pinched her husband's waist, and found it was quite elastic.
After my husband woke up, he ate well and exercised every day, and his figure is getting better and better.
Feeling his young wife's hands constantly playing tricks on his waist, Xiao Hanzheng suddenly had some reaction.
He let go of Shi Qingluo somewhat embarrassedly, "I'll go wash up first."
Seeing Xiao Hanzheng running away to wash up in a panic, Shi Qingluo couldn't help but cover his face and laughed.
Oh, my little husband is so innocent.
After washing up, Shi Qingluo saw Xiao Hanzheng practicing Tai Chi with Xiao Xiaomei and Erlang.
She also walked over and joined in, with a smile on her face.
While eating breakfast, Xiao Xiaomei asked curiously: "Sister-in-law, I see you are very happy today!"
Shi Qingluo retracted the curve of his lips and said, "Well, I'm in a good mood today."
She immediately changed the subject, "You weren't bitten by mosquitoes last night, were you?"
Xiao Xiaomei smiled and said, "No more, sister-in-law, the mosquito coils you made for us are really useful."
Erlang also said: "Yes, I used to get bitten by mosquitoes every day, but today I don't have any mosquito bites when I wake up."
He looked at Shi Qingluo with admiration, "Sister-in-law, you are so amazing."
Shi Qingluo chuckled and said, "I'm your sister-in-law, so of course I'm awesome."
Xiao Hanzheng drank the porridge with smiles in his eyes. It turned out that his young wife never knew what modesty was. She was so straightforward and cute.
Then Shi Qingluo said to Xiao's mother: "Mom, I want to recruit a group of women to specialize in making mosquito coils. I'll have to trouble you to take care of it when the time comes."
This mother-in-law is a hardworking person who can't sit still.
She hopes that the other party can become independent and strong, so she starts to cultivate and train him from now on.
People who let their mother-in-law take charge of making mosquito coils should be able to get a lot of training.
I don’t say that I will become a strong woman or a tigress in the future, but if I meet a scumbag or a bitch again, I can at least slap them a few times, or just scold them so much that they can’t even raise their heads.
Xiao Hanzheng didn't know that his wife wanted to train his mother to be so strong in the future...
