Chapter 89: I didn't know that you were so coquettish

Shi Qingluo started a sugar-making workshop which mainly produced refined sugar without decolourisation and rock sugar.

White sugar was now monopolised by the Bai family and sold at a high price to the entire Daliang, so she didn't decolourise the sugar anymore.

The low production cost allowed them to sell at a lower price than those shops in the county town.

After harvesting all the beets, she nurtured a batch of seeds and planned to plant them next month.

The sugar workshop operated in an orderly manner.

Meanwhile, the Taoist temple's reconstruction was also ongoing.

Shi Qingluo was very generous whenever she had some money in her hands.

This old priest had helped her take so many blame and would continue to do so in the future.

Therefore, she purchased the best materials to build the Taoist temple.

On top of being busy with the sugar production, Bai Xu would also drag her to his floor tile workshop to research frequently.

Ever since her relationship with Xiao Hanzheng became better, Shi Qingluo went to the county town to buy some cotton fabric.

She asked Mother Xiao to make a few short-sleeved nightgowns for her and Xiao Hanzheng.

When she woke up that morning, Shi Qingluo found several mosquito bites on her legs and arms.

Xiao Hanzheng had woken up an hour earlier to practise his swordsmanship. After that, he would accompany Shi Qingluo to practise taiji.

When he pushed the door open and entered, he saw his wife scratching her arms and legs.

"I'll prepare some cooling medicine for you later. Stop scratching."

Nowadays, many mosquitoes were still poisonous.

Shi Qingluo nodded. "Alright, these days the mosquitoes are really annoying."

Their buzzing throughout the night had affected her sleep.

Xiao Hanzheng hung up his sword and said with a smile, "I'll go cut some silvery wormwood and smoke it in the rooms tonight."

He noticed that her little wife could endure hardships when she was poor.

However, after her family's conditions became better, her delicate, minor problematic habits would slowly bubble to the surface.

For example, she would become picky with food, complain about the heat, want him to coax her, and so on.

Of course, he also liked that she was delicate and was willing to pamper her.

Shi Qingluo got up with a look of despair on her face. "There will still be some in the middle of the next after smoking it."

Then, she knocked her head. "Aiya, how could I forget that I know how to make mosquito incense?"

"Old Xiao, let's make some mosquito incense ourselves."

When she was at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, she had gone to the countryside with her colleagues to help the poor.

After mixing many plants in the area, they developed a mosquito incense workshop for the villages.

The handmade mosquito incense was harmless and non-toxic. They broadcasted it live for sale.

They also purchased a batch of machines to make other mosquito incense and anti-mosquito liquid for overseas exports.
