“Alright.” Xue Yan had no objections. “I’ll go with you tonight.”
“Sure.” Jiang Yue had no objections. Then, he muttered, “I don’t know if you’ve noticed a difference. Didn’t we pour this water into the well in the livestock farm… And the fish pond next to the livestock farm. The people working in the livestock farm drink the water from that well. We’ve been watching them for the past month. They’ve become much more energetic than before.
“The staff noticed it as well, but they thought that it was because the business of the livestock farm was getting better. Moreover, I saw that some of the people working on the livestock farm had planted some plants around the houses. Since they used the water from the well, both the animals and plants are growing well. However, I didn’t see the flowers and plants bloom early or anything. It’s still the same, but the green plants grew a little better.
“Previously, we tested the effect of the water in the space on the plants, but now, it didn’t give the same effect… This could mean that the water poured into the well or the space in the fish pond will not have such a strong effect after being diluted, that is, we’ll have to mix the water in the well before watering the plants. At most, it will make the plants grow just a little healthier.”
Xue Yan nodded. “I noticed it too.”
“In that case,” Jiang Yue said, “here’s what we can do. In the future, as long as we see wells, ponds, rivers, lakes, and such, we will pour some water from my space into them. Not only would it not have much effect on the plants, but it would also prevent people from getting sick when they eat the fruits from those plants. No matter what, it’ll have a good outcome.”
This was indeed a good thing. Xue Yan didn’t have any objections at all.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were not in a hurry to go home. Instead, they waited until it was dark and secretly poured water into the well in Shen Yuxuan’s house and the wells in Shengming Academy before going home.
On the way back, if they encountered rivers, wells, or other water sources, they would pour some water from the space into them. The well in the middle of Locust Village, where they were from, had water from Jiang Yue’s space mixed in as well.
Naturally, the river that flowed between Locust Village and Willow Village was affected as well.
When he got home, he poured some into the well when his family wasn’t paying attention.
Now that they were all grown up and skilled, even if they came home late at night, their family would not question them. Unlike when they were young, if they didn’t come back at night, the family would immediately start searching for them, afraid that something had happened to them.
In the blink of an eye, five days passed.
On June 13th, Shengming Academy gave their students a day off. The kids did not come home. Instead, Xue Dafu and the others came to the big house in town. It just so happened that they had not been to town for a while, so they used it as a chance to visit.
Summer was nearing, and the ice was already on sale.
It had been so many years, so therefore, someone else had discovered that saltpeter could be used to make ice. Therefore, other than the Xue family selling ice, there were other shops selling ice.
However, because the production of gunpowder in Da Ling required a large amount of saltpeter, the control over saltpeter became very strict. Almost ninety-five percent of saltpeter was in the hands of the imperial court, so it became harder to source for saltpeter. The price of saltpeter did not drop because of the discovery of many saltpeter mines. Therefore, even if many people knew how to make ice, only a few shops could afford to sell ice.
The ice-making workshop for the Xue family delivered ice and popsicles as usual in the morning.
