Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 276 Purple Maiden's Surprise
"Forehead……"

"Yes."

"It's too hot, so I'll take another shower."

Yingge explained somewhat awkwardly.

Then he held the bamboo basket in front of his chest and stuffed the bed sheet that had fallen out of the basket back in.

There's still ice in the cellar.

"If you're too hot to sleep, you can go to the cellar and get some ice."

Xu Lin suggested.

"it is good!"

"It's getting late, sir, you should get some rest!"

The parrot nodded.

Then they fled the place as if their lives depended on it.

The nightgown she was wearing was not only thin, but it also clung to her body due to sweat, making it look almost like she wasn't wearing any clothes at all.

Xu Lin was knowledgeable and experienced; upon seeing the discolored bed sheet, he must have guessed what had happened.

This made Yingge's cheeks flush red.

She thought Xu Lin and the others were all asleep.

If she had known this would happen, she would have put on her coat and gone to the bathroom.

Watching Yingge's graceful figure gradually disappear into the distance, Xu Lin smiled.

Then I went back to my bedroom.

……

The next day.

Xu Lin slept until noon.

When he woke up, Yan Lingji and the others were already making lunch.

After a quick wash and a bite to eat, Xu Lin had Cherry sit on his lap and called Jing Ni over.

"Madam, what do you think should be done with this method of refining coarse salt?"

Xu Lin asked.

Cherry is not only well-behaved, but she also loves to snuggle up to Xu Lin!

“The crude salt purification method is different from that of the curved plow, the high-speed rotating waterwheel, and other similar methods.”

"I think we can start with small-scale production to make money, and then the government can start large-scale production after the country is unified to replace coarse salt and improve people's livelihoods."

Jingwei thought as he answered.

She wore a cream-colored long dress, gathered her hair on top of her head, and styled it into a high, cone-shaped bun, secured with a jade hairpin, giving her a fresh and elegant look.

After speaking, she slowly walked towards Xu Lin, bent her knees slightly, clapped her hands lightly, and let Cherry come into her arms.

Upon seeing this, Cherry immediately hugged Xu Lin.

Jingni usually keeps a very strict eye on Cherry, so Cherry doesn't want Jingni to hug her.

When Jingni saw this, she wanted to pretend to be angry to make Yingtao obey, but Xu Lin stopped her.

"The cherries are still young."

"It can't be too strict."

Xu Lindao.

He agrees that overindulgent mothers often spoil their daughters, but too much of a good thing can be bad, and a happy childhood is also important!

"If you can sit, why can't Cherry sit?"

Xu Lin joked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Cherry immediately nodded vigorously.

This made Jing Ni's chest heave with anger. Like father, like daughter!
Fortunately, Cherry is a girl, otherwise she might have more women than Xu Lin in the future!
"Fine salt has so many advantages over coarse salt, shouldn't we send some to the King, the Empress Dowager, and others?"

After more than ten breaths, the mature and elegant Jingni crossed her arms and asked.

"We should send some."

"But as the saying goes, everyone has their own area of ​​expertise."

"Let Zilanxuan handle the small-batch purification of crude salt."

Xu Lin nodded, and then said.

After saying that, he handed the cherry to Jingni.

Cherry said she didn't need a hug.

Seeing this, Xu Lin smiled and placed the cherry on the animal skin cushion.

Then he rode his horse to Xin Zilan Pavilion.

Since Xin Zilanxuan mainly sells wine, its business is far less busy during the day than at night.

"Is your sister Zi Nu here?"

Upon seeing the familiar maid Lin'er, Xu Lin asked...

"exist."

Lin'er nodded.

Then he took Xu Lin to Zi Nu's bedroom.

Zi Nu was in her bedroom at that moment, brewing a new wine.

Boom boom boom!
Lin'er knocked on the wooden door.

Xu Lin raised his hand to signal Lin'er that she could go about her business. After Lin'er walked away, Xu Lin pushed open the wooden door and walked towards Zi Nu.

"What are you busy with, Madam?"

Xu Lin put his hands behind his back and asked curiously.

"In the development of new..."

"Who is your wife?"

Zi Nu feigned displeasure.

Then she rolled her eyes at Xu Lin.

Xu Lin just knows how to take advantage of her!
"There are only the two of us in the room, so who are you calling 'you'?"

Xu Lin teased.

"Sir, you are very busy. What brings you to Zilan Pavilion today?"

Zi Nu picked up a blanket from the side and used it to cover her fair legs.

She was used to Xu Lin's teasing, so she didn't bother to refute it.

I miss you, Zi Nu!

Xu Lin answered.

After he finished speaking, he sat down opposite Zi Nu.

Then he reached out and touched Zi Nu's cheek.

"Sir, could you please be serious?"

Zi Nu asked as she retreated.

"it is good."

"I'm not joking anymore!"

Xu Lin readily agreed.

Then, suppressing his smile, he picked up the teapot and poured some cool tea into the bowl.

Any new developments lately?

Xu Lin asked seriously.

"No."

Zi Nu sat up straight and shook her head.

"No news at all?"

Xu Lin frowned.

There are quite a few customers who come to Xin Zilanxuan for drinks. It is said that it is packed every night. How could there be no news at all?

"Not really."

"The campaign against Chu has earned you everyone's utmost respect."

"Many people want to marry their daughters to you."

"If this counts as news, then this is the only news we've heard recently."

Purple Maiden said.

"I wonder what their daughter's figure and demeanor are like?"

Xu Lin asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zi Nu's face darkened.

"Madam is jealous?"

Seeing this, Xu Lin sat down next to Zi Nu and placed his hands on the blanket.

"Who's jealous?"

"No, who's your wife!"

Zi Nu immediately denied it, pouting.

Xu Lin ignored him and took a big gulp of her cold tea.

When Zi-Nv gets angry, she puts her hands on her waist, raises her eyebrows, and widens her beautiful eyes—she's actually quite cute!
What brings you here today?

Feeling Xu Lin's intense gaze, Zi Nu asked with a serious expression.

Then she pushed away Xu Lin's right hand that was on her lap.

Even with a blanket between us, it's still uncomfortable!
"Miss Zi Nu, have you ever heard of the method of purifying coarse salt?"

Xu Lin suppressed his smile and asked in a deep voice.

"Crude salt purification method?"

Zi Nu frowned and shook her head.

Xu Lin then took out the "Method for Purifying Crude Salt" that he had prepared in advance from his bosom and handed it to Zi Nu.

Zi Nu took the book and looked at its contents with bright, piercing eyes.

After glancing through it briefly, Zi Nu's beautiful eyes trembled slightly.

The book states that fine salt has many advantages over coarse salt.

For example, it's healthier, tastes better, and is easier to store!

"Is this your new invention, sir?"

After a few breaths, Zi Nu put down "The Method of Purifying Coarse Salt" and blinked her beautiful eyes to ask.
