The autumn harvest was in full swing. Su Shien went to the fields to inspect the progress and started drinking herbal tea when he got home.
These northerners, who were born and raised in the north, really can't stand this horrible weather.
The locals accepted it well and worked hard to harvest the crops. Not only was nothing wrong, but their faces were also filled with happy smiles.
In contrast, the soldiers of the Qianhu Suo fell ill just from maintaining daily training.
Sweating, dizziness, thirst, weakness in limbs, uncoordinated movements...
The doctor knew at a glance that it was a typical heat symptom, and prescribed a few packets of Chinese medicine, including Cymbopogon citratus, Forsythia suspensa, and Honeysuckle, and told them to boil some water and drink it. They would be fine after resting for two days.
As we all know, a necessary skill for time travelers is to make ice with saltpeter.
Shuzhou is one of the production areas of saltpeter. The output is relatively small and the price is not high, but the amount used in ice making is large.
After buying up the entire county's saltpeter reserves, Han Zeyu tightened his purse strings out of worry. He couldn't buy the finished product because the cost was too high.
Making ice, digging cellars, freezing ice cubes, making sour plum soup, Han Zeyu shouted to the sky, who else?
The people squatting in a row under the tree drank sour plum soup, looked up at Han Zeyu, and shouted: Boss is righteous!
Han Zeyu raised his hand and pressed it down, that's enough, stop engaging in personality cult.
Su Shien felt that this scene was familiar. It was true that believers came and went, but Master Han remained forever.
Han Zeyu, who discovered a new business opportunity and was not prepared to invest a large amount of money, quickly completed his identity transformation and the gold miner returned for a limited time.
Captain Han raised his arms and shouted, leading Tiezhu and a group of younger brothers into the mountains to explore.
Su Shien asked to accompany him, and Han Zeyu approved it considering that person's identity as a "peerless master".
Ye Qi and Ma Zhao also wanted to go, but Han Zeyu refused without thinking.
Ma Zhao reminded him, "Wagons can't get into the mountains, so bring more people with you just in case. Saltpeter is quite heavy, after all."
Han Zeyu nodded helplessly. There is strength in numbers, so let's take them all with us.
He is a time traveler, so why can't he be equipped with a storage talisman, a Qiankun bag, or a space ring?
A loud thunderclap resounded through the sky.
Everyone looked up and saw thunder without rain, so they all dispersed!
Su Shien rushed into the room and looked at someone kneeling on the bed with a dark face.
"As a person, you can't have it all. I know I was wrong, but please don't hold grudges against me. I've only been here for a little over seven years, so children should be free to speak without restraint."
Su Shien...
If you had said less just now, you wouldn't have to feel guilty and repent now.
She nestled in Su Shien's arms for a while, and saw that although the weather outside was calm, the sun was still scorching.
Han Zeyu jumped up and revived with full health.
Su Shien, who was almost hit on the nose, pulled the person back with a frown on his face.
Han Zeyu, who got slapped twice as he wished, lay obediently on the bed and listened attentively to Teacher Su's teachings.
"Don't rush into the mountains yet. Send half of the people to search for ground frost in the surrounding area."
"What is ground frost? Saltpeter?"
"The frost that covers the ground or the base of a wall in the form of a crust or salt flowers is saltpeter."
Han Zeyu was puzzled. Why didn't he see it?
"Where is it? I'll send someone to look for it. Natural ones are the best. They are nature's gift to mankind."
Su Shien didn't want to say it, but couldn't stand someone's constant questioning.
"They are most likely to appear near pig pens, stables, barns, and toilets."
yue～
Han Zeyu's expression was hard to describe. Curiosity killed the cat. He shouldn't have been asking too many questions and he couldn't stop them.
He deeply repented that greed was the original sin.
The next morning, taking advantage of the cool weather, a team of two hundred people set out into the mountains.
Ye Qi led a team to guard the foot of the mountain. Xiao Hei and Xiao Hong were forced to stay behind due to their size.
On this kind of mountain road, it is difficult to get a horse in, let alone a carriage.
Little Black was not selected because of his unbearable large plaid, and Little Red was not much better than him, so he was also left there in disgust.
Lao Huang, a yellow horse known for its speed, was honored to be elected because of his thin physique.
Old Huang proudly shook his tail and looked at the two resentful horse faces. It turned out that jealousy had completely changed the horses' appearance.
But before Lao Huang could be happy for long, he faced the most difficult test in his life.
The road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the sky. This time, Han Zeyu has fully experienced it.
"Don't be afraid, Lao Huang. Lead the way."
Old Huang honestly backed away repeatedly, saying, "No, no, no, it's old and it's afraid of death."
Han Zeyu gave it a look of disappointment and told it to stop pretending to be old and strong and just stay at home and enjoy its retirement!
This road is indeed difficult to walk on. Not only is the road narrow, but the slope is also steep.
Excluding the fear of heights, the team of nearly 200 people was reduced by half.
It was originally an action to enrich oneself, so Han Zeyu did not force it. The more effort you put in, the more money you will get. Those who don't go into the mountain can wait here.
Han Zeyu led the way step by step, and the people behind him followed his footsteps and found that it was not very dangerous.
Ma Zhao was shocked. He could sense the fluctuation of supernatural powers with every step. How high was Han Zeyu's level?
Three cracks have appeared on Han Zeyu's supernatural barrier, and it has been in a state of bursting energy recently.
He decided to try harder and then fight with the two psychics from time to time, maybe he could upgrade sooner.
After climbing the dangerous slope without any danger, the group rested by the river and prepared to make a fire and cook.
Han Zeyu and Tiezhu went out to survey the terrain and brought back a lot of game.
Saltpeter often precipitates naturally on certain rock surfaces, caves and salt marshes.
