Chapter 321 Salty Candy
Juanjuan picked up the cup and took a big sip. After rinsing her mouth, she spit it on the ground, but the salty taste in her mouth still lingered.
Si Gu had already walked to the side of the stone and squatted down. He reached out and touched the frost on the stone, rubbed it with his fingers and smelled it.
In the end, he also followed Juanjuan's example and licked a little bit with his tongue.
"Agu, why are you also imitating Juanjuan?" Si Tian turned around and saw this scene.
Si Gu's eyes lit up, and he didn't care what the people behind him said, and ran behind the stone.
"Agu." Si Tian felt a headache.
Miao Jiu didn't care about Si Gu, he just looked at Juan Juan worriedly: "How is it? Are you feeling better?"
Juanjuan rinsed her mouth several times and drank a few sips of water before she felt better: "Better now."
"Don't put anything you don't understand into your mouth in the future." Miao Jiu reached out and touched her head.
"Okay." Juanjuan looked at him with a smile and nodded.
She turned around and saw Si Gu looking for something, so she ran to find him: "Uncle San, what are you looking for? Juanjuan can help!"
Si Gu was about to say, "What do you know, little kid?", but when he saw her tilting her head and looking at him with her big eyes blinking, his words changed meaning.
"I'm looking for a salt well. The book says that where there is a salt well, there will be salt frost on the rocks." Si Gu explained to her patiently.
"Is it the salty candy that Juanjuan just ate?" Juanjuan asked seriously.
"Yes! It's the salty candy you just ate." Sigu nodded.
"Uncle San, what are you looking for the salt well for?" Si Jinchen also ran over.
"Any salt well will produce brine, from which bromine can be extracted to make sedatives and anti-inflammatory powders. It is a rare raw material for Western medicine."
"If we can find it, we won't have to rely on imports and can solve the raw material problem by extracting bromine from brine." Si Gu became more and more excited as he spoke.
Both Miao Jiu and Si Tian were surprised, as they had already made preparations to import raw materials.
Now Si Gu told them that as long as they found a salt well, they could solve the problem of importing a raw material, which was a great surprise to them.
"Agu, are you sure you can extract bromine from brine?" Miao Jiu looked at him.
"Yes." Si Gu answered this word confidently.
"Okay, then we will help you find the salt well even if we have to dig three feet underground." Miao Jiu was already preparing to send people to dig a well.
Even if the factory building in this area is not built, the exact location of the salt well must be found.
Juanjuan didn't listen to what they said. She pulled Si Jinchen and walked towards a place: "Brother, let's go find some small animals to help."
"Can the small animals find the location of the salt well?" Si Jinchen was a little uncertain.
Juanjuan scratched her hair: "I don't know. Let's ask!"
"Yeah!" Si Jinchen nodded, and the two began to look for small animals.
"Centipede, don't go." Juanjuan saw a centipede trying to burrow into the soil quickly and shouted.
"Squeak. I'm not leaving. Shouldn't I wait for you to bring me food?" The centipede twisted its body and was about to burrow into the ground.
"I'll treat you to a meal!" Juanjuan shouted at it.
The centipede, half buried in the soil, emerged again. "Squeak. Can you hear me?"
"Hmm." Juanjuan lowered her head and rummaged through the small bag for a long time, but it seemed that there was nothing suitable for her to eat.
"What are you eating?" she asked the centipede in a daze.
"Sizzle. Meat." The centipede twisted its body.
"Wait for me." Juanjuan pulled Si Jinchen and ran towards Si Tian's factory.
"Juanjuan, where can we find meat?" Si Jinchen and the others didn't bring any meat with them.
"Grandma Jiang should have meat at home." Juanjuan said after thinking for a while.
"What if there is nothing?" Si Jinchen didn't disbelieve what Juanjuan said, but this place was still some distance away from the city.
It is not easy to go to the city to buy meat. Usually, whoever is going to the city to buy something will ask someone to bring it back.
"Just ask. If there isn't any, we'll bring it to it next time." Juanjuan wasn't sure whether there was any meat.
"Grandma Jiang." The two children ran towards where they lived.
Mrs. Jiang was washing clothes in the yard. When she heard the two children crying, she stood up and wiped her wet hands on her body with a smile.
"Master and Miss haven't been here for a long time. Why did you think of visiting Grandma Jiang?"
"Grandma Jiang, can Juanjuan exchange some candy for a small piece of meat for you?" Juanjuan gestured to measure the size.
Mrs. Jiang looked at her with some confusion as she gestured at the size: "What are you going to do with such a small piece of meat, young lady?"
"Give it to a friend." Juanjuan thought for a moment and said.
"It just so happens that I asked Uncle Zhang to help buy some meat today. Just wait, grandma will go and cut it for you." Mrs. Jiang said as she walked into the room.
She cut out a piece of meat and handed it to the two children: "Is that enough?"
"It's too much. We only need a little bit. It can't eat so much." Juanjuan shook her head quickly.
"Okay, grandma, then cut it a little smaller." Mrs. Jiang said as she cut it a little smaller, making it a little bigger than Juanjuan's gesture.
Juanjuan happily took it with her little hands, took out the candy from her bag and handed it to her: "This is for Grandma Jiang."
"Grandma won't eat your candy. You can keep it for yourself and come to Grandma Jiang's house when you have time." Mrs. Jiang looked at the two of them with a smile.
"Thank you, Grandma Jiang." Juanjuan and Si Jinchen thanked her obediently.
Jiang Shui came out of the room and looked at the two children running away: "Master and Miss are coming to the factory?"
"They must have gone to the factory next door. I don't know what they are busy with. I didn't even have the chance to ask them to sit down and play for a while." Mrs. Jiang smiled and shook her head.
"The young master and the young lady must be busy with something." Jiang Shui smiled and helped her wash clothes.
Juanjuan and Si Jinchen returned to where they had just been. Centipede wandered around here and there out of boredom.
Seeing them coming back, he crawled to a place not far from them: "Squeak. Do you want to ask something?"
"Yes! We want to ask where the salt well is." Juanjuan said as he placed the meat not far in front of it.
"Sizzle. Oh! I thought it was no big deal." The centipede crawled to the meat and sniffed it.
"Can you tell us?" Curly looked at it expectantly with her big eyes.
"Squeak. Come with me. If you want to dig a salt well, just dig it right there." After saying that, the centipede bit the meat and walked forward.
Juanjuan and Si Jinchen followed it and stopped at a place where there were few plants and no animals nearby.
"Squeak. The salt well you are looking for is right below." After the centipede said this, it burrowed into the soil with the meat in its mouth and disappeared.
"Juanjuan, Achen." Miao Jiu, Sitian and Sigu walked towards them.
"Uncle, second uncle, third uncle, we are here." The two children waved at them.
