Chi Dahu and Chi Kang, the uncle and nephew, were really curious about this plant ash cement.
As for the soap for washing clothes, the two of them didn't have any particular idea.
In their view, this stuff might be profitable, but it's ultimately just a substitute for soapberry and wood ash.
Without this soap, clothes might not get as clean and would be more difficult to wash.
But not having to spend money to buy soap means saving money.
Cement is different. If this works, it means they can use it to replace glutinous rice paste when building houses.
In this way, its uses will not be too extensive.
After all, glutinous rice, also known as sticky rice, has a very limited yield per acre and a high price.
According to Xiaoyu, this plant ash cement can be replaced with other materials.
Limestone, calcined seashells, etc.
It was also said that if clay were used and mixed in the correct proportions, the effect would be even better.
Anyway, they didn't understand any of this; all they knew was that this ash cloud was more effective than grain.
With this, we can save glutinous rice for our daily meals.
Everyone's stomachs can still be filled a little more.
Chi Yu didn't care what her older brother and nephew were thinking. Seeing the two of them squatting on the ground studying the cement, she didn't say anything.
When her sister returned from washing her hands by the stream, she led the group out of the space.
As soon as they came out, Shen Kai's voice came from outside the door: "Sister-in-law, I've brought something for Brother Mu!"
Chi Qiao, who had originally planned to find time to go down the mountain to discuss these deals, lit up with excitement upon hearing this.
The fact that Shen Kai has arrived means that the road down the mountain is passable.
It just so happens that when he goes back, she can also go into the city to discuss cooperation with Qin Mu and the Qiao family.
Qin Mu will provide the cement, while the soap will be given to the Qiao family.
Of course, whether it will actually work out depends on the sincerity of the Qiao family in their cooperation.
In addition, since the space can be refreshed, she wanted to take Xiaoyu out for a trip.
Okay, let's go to Jianzhou Prefecture first, sell the crystal bracelet and stuff, and then buy a house in the prefectural city.
Qin Mu was, after all, a commander of a thousand households, holding an official position. Therefore, Xiaoyu's dowry naturally couldn't be meager.
Houses, shops, fields—whatever others have, her younger sister must have too!
Taking advantage of the fact that land and shops are cheap right after the earthquake, she bought one.
Chi Qiao was busy preparing her dowry, but Chi Yu was unaware of it.
Upon hearing Shen Kai's words, she, like her sister, immediately thought of collaborating with Qin Mu using cement.
Of course, she also knew that many of Qin Mu's businesses were run by Shen Kai.
So she was seen carrying her son, walking out of the room with joyful steps.
When Shen Kai entered the courtyard, he happened to see Chi Yu going out.
Upon seeing people, a bright smile unconsciously spread across his face.
"Hello, sister-in-law!"
Although Chi Yu is not yet married to Qin Mu, she is engaged and does not object to Shen Kai's way of addressing her.
So when she saw him, she smiled and said, "You've arrived? This journey must have been no easier than the one before the New Year. You must have had a hard time!"
"By the way, have you eaten yet? If not, I'll make you a bowl of noodles."
Shen Kai liked the way Chi Yu treated him, not like an outsider.
Hearing this, he rubbed his stomach and said without ceremony, "I really haven't eaten yet, so I'll have to trouble you, sister-in-law."
By the way, sister-in-law, when you cook, make a few extra bowls.
Besides the coachmen, there was also a doctor named Tao accompanying them in the carriage.
Chi Yu raised an eyebrow, didn't ask any further questions, and simply nodded to indicate that she understood.
It's already past 1 PM, so there's no need for her to waste time asking questions.
