Jing Qingrong was driven away by Su Liuer after he finished his meal. There was not much place for him to rest here, so Dali and Xiaoli just sat on the stools or lay on the table to rest.
Wang Pozi and Su Liuer can rest in the house in the backyard.
Return to the restaurant.
Jing Qingrong tossed and turned in bed but couldn't fall asleep. He was wondering what Su Liuer wanted so much saltpeter for.
I've been thinking about it but still have no clue.
He suddenly sat up from the bed, startling Qingfeng.
"Young Master?" Qingfeng walked forward and hung up the mosquito net beside the bed.
Jing Qingrong sat cross-legged, looked up and asked Qingfeng, "What other uses can saltpeter have besides making fireworks?"
Qingfeng thought for a moment and said, "Gunpowder?"
"Do you think Madam Su is someone who can make gunpowder?" Jing Qingrong looked at him with disdain.
The breeze is silent.
Jing Qingrong asked again, "Tell me, how come Madam Su seems to know more than me? She's never even left Qingxi Town, so where does she get to know so much?"
This time Qingfeng frowned and asked back, "Madam Su, do you know a lot of things?" How come he didn't notice it!
"A lot! She can make herbal jelly honey, which I've never even heard of. She can also make ginger duck, which I've never tasted before. And her business is doing really well. Look, even when I'm not here, her shop is still going strong! And as for this saltpeter, I haven't even guessed what she's going to do with it..."
Qingfeng looked at his young master who was speaking so clearly.
His son seems to be possessed by a demon... What should he do?

Su Liuer didn't know that Qingfeng was almost labeling her as a femme fatale. She didn't have the habit of taking a nap at noon, and she couldn't sit still. She thought of using saltpeter to make ice, so she went to find a blacksmith to make a container.
There is only one blacksmith shop in Qingxi Town. The clanging sound of iron hammering can be heard from far away and does not stop even in the middle of the day.
Su Liuer wanted to make a big iron box. The main thing was that the iron sheet had to be thinner so that it could conduct heat better and make it more likely to successfully make ice cubes.
This iron box was not cheap to make. Su Liuer paid a deposit of three hundred coins and agreed that it would be delivered to her in the shop three days later.
After ordering the iron box, Su Liuer took the drawn drawings to Old Jiangtou's house.
Old Jiangtou's yard is very large, with a sturdy wooden shed built inside, which is also where he works.
Su Liuer planned to make a manual ice shaver with a wooden frame. She would then insert blades inside and spin them to shave the ice. After the frame was completed, she would go find a blacksmith to make suitable blades.
Old Jiangtou put his head close to the drawing again and studied it carefully for a while, then asked Su Liuer some detailed questions and made marks on the edge himself.
"I haven't made this before. I'll pay you after I make it." said Old Jiangtou.
Su Liu'er was still very optimistic about Old Jiang's craftsmanship, so she gave him a hundred coins and said, "I'll give you the rest when you make the rest."
"Okay, I'll send it to you when it's done." Old Jiangtou responded and went to continue working. He was very busy.
Su Liuer didn't bother him anymore. She left Old Jiang's house and walked out for a while. Not long after, she ran into a vendor selling mung bean soup.
The vendor was walking unsteadily with his load on his shoulder and almost bumped into her.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! The sun is so strong that I feel a little dizzy. I'm sorry." The vendor put down his burden in a panic and apologized to Su Liuer with his hands clasped together.
Su Liuer shook her head and said, "It's okay." Then she walked away from the load of mung bean soup.
