Chapter 170: There is a god three feet above the head

When Qianhuan returned to the village this time, she found out that two major events had happened in the village. The first was that Wu Qiang had died, and his death was particularly tragic.

As the New Year was approaching, Wu Qiang became restless again. A few days ago, he went to a rich man's house to steal things. Unexpectedly, this rich family kept several large dogs. When the owner of this family was awakened by the barking of dogs in the yard, he hurriedly put on his clothes and went out to see, but Wu Qiang had been bitten to death by dogs. It was said that many parts of his body had been eaten by dogs.

When the government found out about this, they didn't take it seriously. After all, Wu Qiang had brought this upon himself. If he hadn't stolen anything, the dog wouldn't have bitten him.

Wu Qiang was an old bachelor. His relatives had long stopped associating with him, and when he died, no one came to collect his body. In the end, the officials just dug a grave and buried him on the spot. The price he paid for his sneaky behavior was quite high.

So, people should not do evil things. Don’t think that God can’t see what you do, and don’t think that you will not be punished for your evil deeds.

As the saying goes, "Don't do anything that would make you feel guilty in your life, for there is a god watching over you." In fact, God always keeps his eyes open to observe everything in this world, and good and evil will be rewarded in the end.

Sometimes it’s not that there is no retribution, it’s just that “the time has not come yet”. Isn’t it that Wu Qiang’s retribution has come?

He helped Cuihua do evil things, but considering his reputation, he did not choose to report to the police, so he escaped.

Brother Yunlong helped me beat him up several times, and I didn't have the chance to deal with him myself. Who knew that he would end up with such a miserable death? It really is true that evil will be rewarded with evil!

Another thing is that Zhu Wu got married, and his wife was Xu Tingting from the village. When Qianhuan heard the news, she was surprised. She didn't expect that these two people would end up together.

I heard that it was Zhu Wu's mother who proposed the marriage, and Zhu Wu had been heartbroken since he was rejected by Qianhuan. Since his mother wanted to find a wife for him, he just accepted his fate.

Qianhuan couldn't help but sigh, the world is unpredictable!

Now that the family workshop has been built and the Chinese New Year is coming soon, Qianhuan plans to prepare everything that needs to be prepared before the New Year and start making soy sauce as soon as the New Year is over.

Qianhuan first went to Carpenter Sun's house to order extra-large wooden barrels, which would be used to wash soybeans. She also went to the homes of villagers who knew how to weave bamboo products and bought many bamboo fences.

Qianhuan asked Ji Feng to drive her to the county town in a carriage, and she went to the pottery shop first.

"I wonder what you would like to buy? In our shop, we have everything from large jars weighing 1,000 pounds to small porcelain jars and bowls." The owner of the pottery shop greeted Qianhuan with a smile.

"Boss, I need a large quantity of 1000-ton jars, at least 500. Do you have any in stock?"

"Miss, you need so many at once, but our shop doesn't have so many in stock. There are a total of fifty thousand-jin jars left in the shop, and the kiln should be able to extract two hundred in stock. I'm afraid the rest will need to be fired by the master." The boss didn't expect such a big order to come in at once, but unfortunately he didn't have so much stock.

"How long will it take to produce the remaining hundreds?" Qianhuan guessed that there wouldn't be that many in stock.

"If the girl is in a hurry, I can ask the masters to expedite the firing. The fastest it will take is about 10 days."

"Sure, I need such a large quantity, how much would you give me for one serving?"

"I usually sell this jar for 75 wen each. Miss, you want a large quantity, so I'll give you 70 wen. What do you think?"

"Okay, I'll take all the 10 in this shop and the kiln factory. I'll pay you the money and give you an address. Please ask your staff to deliver them to my backyard as soon as possible. For the other or so, I'll give you a partial deposit. I'll trouble you to deliver the goods to my house in days, and I'll pay you the rest of the money." Qianhuan said as she took out the money to pay.

"Girl, you are really a straightforward person. How about this? I still have two hundred people to go to the kiln to pick up the goods. So I will ask the guys to load the goods onto the truck and deliver them to your home early tomorrow morning." The boss was very happy to have made the deal.

"it is good."

After the problem with the jar was solved, Qianhuan went to buy flour and wheat bran needed to make soy sauce, and then went to Zuixianju to find Chu Yichen to solve the problem of salt.

When Shopkeeper Zhou saw Qianhuan coming, he quickly sent someone to the Chu Mansion to inform Young Master Chu.

When Chu Yichen heard that it was Shanbo's younger brother who was looking for him, he couldn't help but feel happy and immediately rushed to Zuixianju.

"Brother Shanbo, I wonder what you want to discuss with me today?" Chu Yichen hadn't seen Qianhuan for some time, and he was filled with joy when he saw her this moment.

"I need to trouble you with something, Brother Lin'an. The workshop in my house has been built, and I'm about to prepare to make the seasoning I told you about before. This seasoning requires a lot of salt. I don't have any connections right now, so I'm afraid I need Brother Lin'an's help in buying salt." Qianhuan didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point to state her difficulties.

"I wonder how many pounds of salt you need, Shanbo. I'll have someone buy it for you right away."

"It will probably take tens of thousands of kilograms."

Qianhuan thought about it and realized that it would take at least half a year to make a batch of soy sauce. She planned to make more soy sauce at one time. Even if she couldn't sell it all at once, the rest could continue to be dried. The longer it was dried, the more fragrant the soy sauce would taste and the more expensive it could be sold at.

Therefore, she needs to buy more salt to make soy sauce. After all, she still needs to purify the coarse salt into fine salt, and there will be a certain depreciation rate by then.

"It's indeed a bit much, but you can rest assured that this matter will not be difficult for me. I will send someone to do it immediately."

"Thank you very much, Brother Lin'an. Here is the silver needed to buy salt. Thank you for your help, Brother Lin'an." Qianhuan handed over several thousand taels of silver. This was the reward money she earned in Xunfang Pavilion. Now she had spent 80% of it in one go. She only had some left to buy soybeans.

"Brother Shanbo, there is no need to be polite to me. If you have any problems in the future, just come to me." Ever since Chu Yichen knew what was in his mind, he wished that Qianhuan would come to him for help every day.

Chu Yichen took the silver and asked someone to help with this matter. He was very efficient and had someone buy the salt and deliver it to Qianhuan's house that afternoon.

Qianhuan had already bought dozens of stoves and large pots and placed them in the workshop, waiting to purify the crude salt.

In ancient times, crude salt contained many impurities and tasted a bit bitter. If she wanted to make soy sauce taste good, the first step was to purify the crude salt containing impurities into refined salt.

There is actually no technical content in purifying crude salt into refined salt. It is just to dissolve the crude salt in water first, stir it evenly with tools, then filter out impurities such as mud and sand, and then heat the filtered solution. It will continue to evaporate during the heating process, and finally refined salt crystals will appear.

She bought a large roll of gauze and put the coarse salt into dozens of large pots to dissolve it and boil it. After boiling, she filtered it with gauze, and boiled it again, finally making fine salt.

The purification of crude salt was done with the help of her parents, Yinhua Yinhe, Ji Feng and Ji Feng's mother. Liu and Liang Laoer were not surprised, after all, they had long known that their daughter was gifted with extraordinary abilities.

But when these servants saw that their master could actually purify coarse salt into fine salt, they all admired him very much. They were more convinced that they had followed the right person. Qianhuan did not expect that this skill she showed would make these servants even more loyal to her.
