Chapter 79: She did it deliberately

Shi Qingluo pulled Xiao Hanzheng to have a look at the blown up main hall.

She said, "Tomorrow, let's find a fengshui master to see if we can build a main hall here. If it's possible, we'll hire people to start the construction.

We'll find the place with the best fengshui for your master to consecrate."

Finding a professional fraud to confirm would provide the strongest effects.

Furthermore, since they planned to do it, they would do their best.

Xiao Hanzheng nodded. "Okay."

After the two of them finished discussing, they walked out of the Taoist temple.

Shi Qingluo locked the door and they each carried a basket of saltpetre down the mountain.

The next day, Xiao Hanzheng and the chief went to the county town and bought the mountain behind the old house and the land at the entrance of the village.

This time, the mountain was much bigger than the slope of the bamboo forest, so the price was much higher. It cost 300 taels of silver.

The vacant land at the entrance of the village wasn't expensive and was priced like a wasteland.

1 mu (6 mu 亩 makes an acre) of land cost 40 taels of silver. The total land size was 10 mu and they spent 40 taels of silver on it.

Xiao Hanzheng managed to find out where the most famous fengshui master in the county lived, so he went to visit him.

Mr. Li happened to be free today.

He had also heard about the story of the old priest ascending to immortality, so he agreed to go to the village with them to take a look.

When Xiao Hanzheng was about to rent a carriage, he met Bai Xu.

Bai Xu was very interested in the old priest's legendary story, so he suggested that he tag along too.

Xiao Hanzheng didn't refuse.

It just so happened that they could sit on the Bai family's carriage to return to the village, which saved their time and effort.

When the villagers heard that Xiao Hanzheng and his wife had invited the fengshui master to rebuild the main hall for the old priest, they all supported it.

They also said that if needed, they could ask everyone to help.

The villagers in the nearby villages were in awe of the old immortal.

Everyone also had a better impression of Shi Qingluo.

The old immortal did not dote on his disciple in vain.

After returning to the village, they did not stay for long.

Xiao Hanzheng went to ask Shi Qingluo to go up the mountain with him.

Now was the hottest time of the day.

Shi Qingluo had prepared green bean soup and filled up the wooden bucket.

She was prepared to let everyone drink it after the fengshui master was done.

The wooden bucket actually had a layer on the inside that was used to store food.

The outer layer was hollow, specially to store ice made from saltpetre.

This helped to cool the food within it.

She had only casually mentioned the wooden bucket last night, and her young husband had really made one with a knife.

Only then did she know that he was also skilled in carpentry. He was truly versatile.
