The two of them walked home hand in hand, with a big goose following them behind.

Xiao Hanzheng had slept during the day and wasn't sleepy now.

So, he lit the oil lamp and wrote more.

Shi Qingluo sat opposite his desk and wrote her plans for the sugar workshop, the paint workshop, etc.

The two of them wrote quietly, while the dim yellow light illuminated them warmly.

It was a little late. Shi Qingluo finished writing the plan and shouted to Xiao Hanzheng, "Old Xiao, I'm sleepy."

After Xiao Hanzheng finished writing that paragraph, he put down the pen and raised his head. "Then let's rest together."

The two of them washed up and went to bed together.

Shi Qingluo touched the pillow and felt the breath of the person beside her.

She dozed off very soon.

Xiao Hanzheng reached out and smoothened Shi Qingluo's scattered hair on her face.

He used the tip of his finger to point at her nose.

With a smile on his face, he quickly closed his eyes.

With his little wife by his side tonight, as expected, he fell asleep very quickly.

He did not suffer from insomnia like before, or need medication to fall asleep.

The next morning, the heat woke Shi Qingluo up.

She slept late last night.

Now the sky had already brightened. Xiao Hanzheng wasn't by her side.

Shi Qingluo got up and opened the door.

Xiao Hanzheng was practicing martial arts. It was very pleasing to her eyes.

Xiao Hanzheng saw his little wife coming out and didn't stop practicing martial arts. He said, "I have already boiled water for you to wash up."

With the current hot weather, his little wife would use water to wipe her body in the morning and take a bath at night.

It was the same for him. Otherwise, he would feel uncomfortable after sweating.

Shi Qingluo was full of smiles. "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Zheng!"

She gave her little husband, who had woken up early to boil water for her, a thumbs up.

She warmed herself with hot and then with cold water and used a handkerchief to wipe her body.

As expected, she felt much more comfortable.

She missed the modern air-conditioner and fan.

Unfortunately, it was impossible to build an air-conditioner.

She could make a fan based on the drawing, but without electricity, it would be difficult to make it by hand.

If she could find a magnet, she could make a fan that did not need electricity or someone to manually fan it.

After pouring the water, she took out the "time travel encyclopedia" and read it in her room.

Sure enough, she found a recipe for making ice from saltpeter.

Since she couldn't use an air conditioner or an electric fan, she could use a normal ice basin to cool down.

The aristocratic families also used ice basins to cool down.

However, as the ice was collected during winter, they had to buy it at a very high price to fill up their icehouse.

Shi Qingluo knew from Shengyuan's memories that there was a saltpeter mine on the mountain near the Taoist temple, and a lot of sulfur not far away.
