Looking at the woman sleeping peacefully beside him, Zhang Chaoming quietly reached out his hand. Her smooth face made him want to touch her.

Somehow, his hand landed on Su Qiqiao's face.

Just as he had imagined, his wife's face was as smooth as an egg.

Su Qiqiao moved at this moment, and Zhang Chaoming acted like a thief.

Seeing that Su Qiqiao didn't open her eyes, she heaved a sigh of relief.

"There will be more brothers in the future …" "Zhang Chaoming, you have to do your best, I won't leave with you."

Thinking about what his wife said, Zhang Chaoming immediately opened his mouth. His requirements were not high. As long as he ate his fill and had a wife by his side, he would be able to see her when he woke up. Of course, if he could have the little bun and occasionally hug and kiss him … He would feel that life was better this way.

With this thought, Zhang Chaoming wished his leg could be better.

Therefore, when Su Qiqiao cleaned him up with wine the next day, he didn't reject her. He had heard from his wife that his wounds had turned pus. With this wine, he would be able to prevent a second infection.

In short, Zhang Chaoming felt that his wife knew a lot.

After being chased out of her house, Su Qiqiao didn't feel that her life had become dark and gloomy. On the contrary, she felt that her life had gone downhill.

Since there were no vegetable fields at home, he would go up the mountain to pick some wild vegetables and look for some mushrooms.

This mountain was Gongshan. Normally, everyone could go and gather firewood and find some game to eat.

However, there were very few wild vegetables in the mountain. Fortunately, when she was in the modern world, she also loved to climb mountains. There was an aunt in the family who knew a lot about wild vegetables in the mountains. Because of this, Su Qiqiao also got to know a lot of wild food types.

Every time she entered the mountain, she would pick some wild vegetables, such as snow celery, or even some wild potatoes.

If it wasn't for her weak martial arts, Su Qiqiao would have gone deeper into the mountain. Because she was afraid of danger, she would always linger at the foot of the mountain in search of food.

No matter what, they had to wait for Zhang Chaoming's leg injury to heal before they could head to the hunting grounds.

Going up the mountain every day was clear to Su Qiqiao. There wasn't much oil in the front mountains. At the back of the mountain, where there were few traces of people, there were quite a few wild fruits.

To her delight, she saw Litchi all over the mountains at the back of the mountain.

However, the fruits of wild lychee here were not as big as those of modern times. It seemed that the modern era had been modified by several generations of improved seeds. The fruits were the size of a fruit, but even though this fruit was a bit small, it still had a slightly astringent flavor to it.

However, this was also a good thing.

Looking at the rows of several Litchi trees, Su Qiqiao only had one thought in mind, and that was to make Litchi with Sugar Water.

If he succeeded in making this, then he could exchange it for money. What his family lacked the most right now was money. If he had this canned sweet water … Wasn't that just counting silver taels!

As soon as she thought of it, Su Qiqiao climbed up the tree to pick the lychee.

The tree was tall, and Litchi was stretching out. Picking it up was still a little difficult. Fortunately, her hard work had paid off. Her body was light and agile, and after using some forked branches as hooks, she also picked a tree's lychee.

One person's physical strength was limited. Looking at the pile of Litchi on the ground, Su Qiqiao felt sweet inside her heart. He peeled one and tasted it. The aftertaste was really quite good.

Taking the leaves off the branches, Su Qiqiao dressed a full Litchi Litchi. As for the rest, she wrapped them in clothes and headed down the hill. When he got home, it was already dark. He saw a man standing far away with two children in his arms.

The moment Zhang Chaoming saw her, he ran over excitedly. When she tried to grab the back that was on her back, she was stopped by her. She only gave the one in her embrace to him. "Here, carry it. Go home."

Zhang Chaoming lowered his head and walked back to where he came from with vigorous steps. When Da Niu saw her, she went up to her and said affectionately, "Mother, Da Niu will help you wipe your sweat."

The way Su Qiqiaoxin looked at her made her feel sweet and sweet. In fact, she had already decided to give up at the beginning, wanting to abandon her home and wander the world by herself. However, she had transmigrated and knew that this girl was alone. If she wanted to live a life outside, the price she would have to pay … It's not as simple as you think!

Of course, this was only one. The most important thing was that Da Niu was sensible and could be so cute that it would make one's heart ache.

Moreover, after experiencing the first teleportation, she was beginning to understand that sometimes teleporting to another place wasn't without reason.

Because of this, she accepted her fate and stayed in this house.

Zhang Chaoming looked at the pile of hard shell investigation, he didn't understand why his wife picked so many.

"Mother, drink this water." After Su Qiqiao entered the room, Da Niu placed a bowl of water in her hands.

Every time she saw him coming home, her sister-in-law would bring him a bowl of water and he would laugh. Therefore, Da Niu also wanted to make her mother happy ~ ~

"Yeah, Da Niu is so sensible." Su Qiqiao was still thirsty, so she gulped down the water. She raised her head and saw Zhang Chaoming still staring at that pile of lychee, as if he was hesitating to say something.

She wiped off her sweat, "I have great uses for these. Maybe I can get them to exchange for some meat for us to eat. "Let's not talk about it for now. Let's eat first, and we'll peel off the shell later. You'll know when I make it tomorrow."

As she prepared to make canned sugar, Su Qiqiao realized that the sugar from this era was extremely expensive. Not to mention sugar, even brown sugar was a bit too expensive.

Now that he thought about it, this era wasn't very developed. It was already a good idea to have sugar to eat. It was said that the sugar here had been smuggled in from the outside by businessmen.

If they were to arrive in layers and then turn around, the price would naturally be too expensive.

Su Qiqiao had been fortunate enough to carry out experiments in chemistry where brown sugar was refined into white sugar. Although there was no accurate container here, she could use simple and crude methods to extract it.

Su Qiqiao's head hurt when she thought of the sugar she would need to make tomorrow. However, if she could refine the sugar, then she would have two ways to make a fortune.

One refined the sugar, then sold it, then used the sugar to make canned water. I believe that canned food will also be popular in this year with very few sugary drinks.

Su Qiqiao's fatigue vanished when she thought about how the days were going to come to an end.

Zhang Chaoming was peeling off the shell, but he still looked at her from time to time. Seeing how happy she was thinking about something, she also started to laugh.

The next morning, Su Qiqiao went back to town. Since she couldn't bear to see the kids fall for the wolves, she decided to buy all the money she had for the red sugar.

All the money he had spent to buy the red sugar was only 20 Jin. It could be imagined how much money he had lost.

"Manager, how much is your sugar?" When she bought the brown sugar, Su Qiqiao also asked about the price.

"This candy … Honestly, my wife, this thing is a bit expensive. Normal people can't afford it." Actually, it was just that they were prepared for a large family. I advise this elder sister of yours to buy this crude red sugar. Buy one catty of sugar, you can eat three catties of brown sugar. Sigh, normal people like us cannot afford the precious things that belong to rich families. "

The shopkeeper was a real person, so he didn't advise her to buy white sugar. On the contrary, he only advised her to buy red sugar.

"Sigh, I know, Manager. I just want to get to know more." Su Qiqiao also knew that the other party had good intentions, so she agreed with a smile.

"Manager, if I can make white sugar, will you accept it here?" Su Qiqiao changed the topic and asked the question she was most worried about.

"Ah?" "You?" The shopkeeper was stupefied. Honestly speaking, if he wanted to refine the white sugar, this was a technical job. How could an ordinary person do that? Look at this little wife, isn't she just a typical village woman? Could she do it?

It wasn't because the shopkeeper was overbearing, but because this kind of thing was too much of a waste.

"Hehe, I'm just asking casually. There are a few relatives that are travelling outside, and hearing them say that they have some methods to refine white sugar, I would like to ask, if they can refine it, would shopkeeper accept it?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he thought for a while and said, "If you really refine it, the quality is similar to this. I can consider purchasing it. Of course, you won't lose out on the price. "But it can't be more expensive than what we get outside."

Hearing this, Su Qiqiao felt relieved. She took a glance at the shopkeeper and saw that he also looked simple. His eyes looked quite shrewd. It seemed that this person's brain worked quite quickly. No wonder he opened a shop here.

"Mmm, I was just casually asking about this. If it's possible, then I'll come to find you, the manager." I wonder what your name is, Manager? How should I address you? "

"My surname is Huang. If you succeed, come here and find Old Yellow."

After the deal was settled, Su Qiqiao bought another 20 Jin of brown sugar and headed home excitedly.

On the same day, Zhang Chaoming began to peel the lychee, while Su Qiqiao did the experiment.

In the past, they had done experiments using containers, such as cooking pots, and testing temperatures. Here, all you can do is feel, feel, and experience.

Of course, the simplest method was to boil the furnace.

In other words, if this brown sugar wanted to be refined into white sugar, then that was the process of refining it again.

The most important part of this purification was the step of filtering and separating it accurately. The step of refining this was the sugar, and at this time, the sugar still contained a lot of water. The rapid, low-pressure, shared drying, became white granulated sugar...

After wasting several kilograms of brown sugar, Su Qiqiao looked at the ice crystal in front of her speechlessly. This ice crystal was the so-called sugar, but it was still a little short of white sugar.

Looking at the remaining 10 kilograms of brown sugar, she was at a loss. One had to know that this was all her family's savings. If he failed? The consequences would be very serious.

"Wife, don't be afraid. I'll think of a way without you." Zhang Chaoming had been waiting for her. Looking at her troubled expression, how could he not know that she was worried about her family's future.

He couldn't think of a way to support his family, but being a wife's strong support was something he could do. In any case, no matter what his wife did, he had to support her. Even if it was for fun, he would support her until the end.

Su Qiqiao raised her head and looked at the honest man in front of her in a daze. She humphed in pain and said, "But, this is our last rations. If we don't succeed, we won't be able to keep this little red sugar."

"Don't worry, refining this kind of sugar out of this red sugar, I think it's also a huge improvement." What's more, even if you can't refine more sugar, someone else will still want this. Some of those rich families loved to eat this type of candy as a snack. Wife, I don't need to be afraid.

Looking at Zhang Chaoming's hopeful eyes, Su Qiqiao's heart felt warm. With a man supporting her from behind, it felt like it wasn't a bad feeling.
