Chapter 180: What a fool

Shi Qingluo was also shocked by the actions of these three idiots.

No wonder Mo Qingling was so angry.

Mo Qingling asked people to watch over the corn, and asked Shi Qingluo: “Can these be saved as seeds?”

Shi Qingluo replied: “It’s impossible to use all of them. After drying, you have to choose the ones with bright color, plump, and have no impurities.”

When the corn was about to mature before, she thought about saving them as seeds, so she delayed it for a while. Now they were all matured corn.

These corns were the first generation of a new variety bred by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. It was not just a hybrid seed, but also seeds that used spiritual water to mature, so saving them as seeds will not cause a decrease in yield.

If the corn was just hybrid seeds, it cannot be used as seeds.

“You can let the people in the capital who specialize in agricultural affairs do this job.”

Mo Qingling now believed Shi Qingluo: “When we get to the capital, I will talk to them about seed selection and breeding in detail.”

Shi Qingluo smiled and nodded, “No problem.”

After all the corn was harvested, Mo Qingling asked his people to transport all of them back to the county town for drying.

After witnessing what happened Xi Rui and the others did, stealing the corn and running away, he was worried about leaving the corn to dry in the village.

At noon, Shi Qingluo and Xiao Baili cooked several dishes using chili peppers.

The chili seeds in her space were not particularly spicy, just moderately.

So things like stir-fried meat with red pepper and stir-fried tofu were not too spicy when eaten.

She felt extremely satisfied as she ate the dishes with chili peppers.

Those here were not used to it at first, but later they liked the taste of chili dishes.

Especially for Xi Rui, he can also eat it directly with chili peppers.

“This chili pepper is delicious.”

His eyes were almost red from eating chili peppers for the first time, but he couldn’t stop.

Shi Qingluo chuckled and said: “It tastes better when made into chili sauce, especially when made with bean paste to make Mapo tofu.”

As she spoke, she wanted to eat.

After all the chili peppers are harvested, she will make more bean paste and various chili sauces and eat them slowly.

Xi Rui’s eyes were bright: “Then when you make the chili sauce, sell it to me!”

Liang Youxiao also accepted spiciness well: “I want it too.”

Xi Rong also likes the taste of chili pepper, “Me too.”

Fei Yuzhe’s acceptance was average. He doesn’t hate it or like it very much, but he still joins in the fun: “I want some, too.”

Although Master Hou was old, he liked these chili peppers.

He was not used to it at first, but the more I ate it, the more delicious it became. “Count me in too.”

Shi Qingluo chuckled and said: “No problem.”

“When I make the chili sauce, I’ll give you some.”

In the future, after a variety of peppers are developed, large quantities of sauce can be made and sold, which will also enrich the people of Daliang on their dining tables.

After eating, Master Hou took a walk in the yard to eat, then went to take a nap, with no intention of leaving at all.

When his young disciple invited him to stay, he was still afraid of trouble.

But since he had eaten at the Xiao Family’s meal yesterday, used the Xiao family’s toilet and bathroom, and experienced the sofa and soft bed, he didn’t want to go back.

He used tutoring Xiao Hanzheng in his studies as his main reason.

After getting up from a nap, he walked towards the big tree in the yard.

Then sat in a rocking chair, while drinking Kung Fu tea and teaching Xiao Hanzheng. He felt more leisurely and relaxed than ever before.

In the evening, there were different kinds of delicious food, which also made him prepare to supervise and teach his young disciples to complete their homework in the future.

This time, when a group of people will go back to the capital, Master Hou also decides to go with them.

The main reason was, that he was afraid that some people would be jealous of his student and his wife, who donated the seeds and caused harm behind their backs. He wanted to protect them.

So, although he wanted to stay with the Xiao Family very much, he still went back to the county town two days in advance to prepare.

After Master Hou left, Xi Rui and the others, who had been restrained at first, began to get wild again.

They go to the mountains every day to wander around, and when they come back, they get together to play cards.

On this day, Shi Qingluo was too lazy to go up the mountain with them, and Xi Rong didn’t go either.

So Shi Qingluo made a honey mask and asked Xi Rong, Mrs. Kong, and Xiao Baili to try it out together.

Master Hou was not around, so they did not go back to the room. Instead, they sat under the tree, applied facial masks, and chatted.

Xi Rui and others, who came back early, were dumbfounded when they saw the women in the yard.

Xi Rui asked: “Why are your faces looking so bad?”

Seeing several people coming back, Mrs. Kong and Xiao Baili stood up and returned to the room in embarrassment.

Shi Qingluo and Xi Rong stayed to deal with it.

Xi Rong rolled her eyes at him and said: “It’s your face that looks bad. We put a facial mask on our face.”

Before, Shi Qingluo also applied a facial mask on her face. After using it, her skin felt comfortable.

Shi Qingluo thought that when she had time, she would make some facial masks in porcelain jars and let them take them back to the capital for use.

In the future, Xi Rong can also prepare it according to this method and sell it in the rouge shop.

Xi Rui asked curiously: “What is a facial mask?”

Xi Rong replied: “Applying a facial mask can make your skin whiter, tenderer, and more hydrated.”

Xi Rui’s eyes widened: “Really?”

Several other people also heard about facial masks for the first time, and they had never seen any female elders in their family apply them before.

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, “Of course it’s true.”

“You will know after Xi Rong finishes cleaning.”

This was a purely natural facial mask made of wild honey. She also added a few drops of spiritual spring, so the effect will be obvious.

After applying it, their skin condition will look better.

Of course, it won’t have any tremendous effects. It will just slowly improve and make their skin more hydrated and shiny.

Spiritual spring water can eliminate some impurities and make the skin whiter and more delicate.

Because of this, she was not only much whiter than the first time she came here, but also looked fresher.h

Xi Rong hangs out with a group of dandies and doesn’t care about letting them watch.

“It’s almost time. I’ll go wash it and show it to you.”

She was quite happy to let these guys take a look, and then go back to increase business for their rouge shop.

Shi Qingluo also washed off the facial mask and applied some of her homemade loofah skin care lotion.

She also gave Xi Rong two bottles of it before.

When Xi Rong went out, Xi Rui came over.

He often hangs out with Xi Rong, so he can see the difference.

“It’s true, you look whiter now than when you came here, and your face looks better too.”

Xi Rong raised her chin proudly: “Of course, who do you think created the facial mask and lotion.”

“It was made by Luoluo, the apprentice of the Old Immortal Priest, how could it be bad?”

At this point, Xi Rui also praised Shi Qingluo: “Then, it must be good.”

When Shi Qingluo just walked out, she almost sprained his ankle when she heard what the two of them said. These two guys were something.

As soon as Xi Rui saw Shi Qingluo come out, he immediately said with a smile: “Qingluo, we are also good friends. There is such a good facial mask, but you only give it to Xi Rong alone.”

Liang Youxiao also said: “That’s right, you are playing favoritism.”

Shi Qingluo had dark lines on her face: “If I give you a facial mask, will you try it?”

Her husband was different.

But as for the others, she couldn’t imagine what it looked like for men in ancient times to apply facial masks……
