Chapter 18 Handmade soap baked

Li Mingcian fanned the bloody clothes, and then smelled the wind that fanned up, and the wind still carried a trace of blood. It seems that this bloody coat is still very fresh.

Li Mingcian didn't touch the bloody clothes and lowered the curtains, and then carefully inspected the room under Erya's suspicious gaze.

There were blood stains in the depths of the wardrobe, and there were also blood stains under the bed, Li Mingcian lifted the cover roll of the big bed, and she found that there were some bloody bandages in it.

Damn, this house may not be inhabitable.

"Sanya, what are you doing?" Erya pinched the snack and ate, "What are you looking for?"

Li Mingcian took out the baggage of himself and Erya, and then pulled Erya out of the door.

Erya was very puzzled, but she obediently followed.

Li Mingcian grabbed a little guy who sprinkled on the side of the road: "This brother, do you know where the little boy is?"

The little guy shook his head.

"Then where does Madame live?" Li Mingcian continued to ask sweetly.

The little girl looked at Li Mingciao's tattered clothes suspiciously, as if asking who you are.

Li Mingcian replied with a smile: "We were brought back by the little prince to work, and we have something to report to Mrs., please ask my brother to tell me where Mrs. lives." ”

The little guy thought about it, and it was right, a child in ragged clothes like this should not be able to enter the county yamen.

"Then I'll take you there. The little guy led the way in front with a water hyacinth, and Li Mingcian and his brothers and sisters followed behind.

Mrs. Shen was taking care of the flower beds in the yard, and the little maid carried the water hyacinth over just for her to see.

"Wuzi, come over here. Mrs. Shen called the little servant and said, "Come and help me water these flowers." ”

"Yes, ma'am. The fifth son carried the water hyacinth to water, revealing the Li Mingcian sisters behind him.

Mrs. Shen was very surprised to see them appear in front of her with their burdens on their backs.

"I've seen Madame. Li Mingcian said hello to Erya.

Mrs. Shen furrowed her eyebrows suspiciously: "You guys, is there something going on?"

Li Mingcian turned his head, seeing that there were too many people on the side, he looked at Mrs. Shen seriously: "Madam, take a step to speak." ”

Mrs. Shen looked at Li Mingciao, who was a small ghost, and smiled helplessly: "Come with me." ”

The two sisters followed Mrs. Shen to the house, the room was quiet, the second girl was a little restrained, and Li Mingcian blocked in front of her.

"Madam, there are bloody clothes in the guest room where we live, which are quite fresh, and there is blood under the bed in the cupboard, and there are bloody bandages in the bed. Li Mingcian didn't wait for Mrs. Shen to speak, and then she crackled and explained.

Li Mingcian looked at Mrs. Shen pitifully: "Madam, can we live here with you, we are afraid of staying in the guest room." ”

Erya was taken aback by Li Mingciao's words, because she didn't know about the existence of the bloody clothes.

Mrs. Shen was also startled, but she quickly calmed down.

"Come, take the two girls down to rest. Mrs. Shen commanded.

A well-dressed woman answered the call and led the two sisters to settle down, while Mrs. Shen went out alone.

Erya didn't come out in the shadow of the bloody clothes, she didn't speak, but pitifully pulled Li Mingciao's clothes nervously.

The woman, tall and dark-skinned, led the sisters to a side room.

"This is the house I live in. I am a distant niece of my wife's mother's family, named Susu. Su Su looked at the two little girls and smiled, "You can just call me Sister Su Su." ”

Su Su tidied up her big bed, and then took out two quilts and two pillows from the cabinet.

"Madame doesn't have a room to live in, so I can only grieve you to live with me. ”

Erya listened to Susu's words and quickly answered: "Sister Susu, who is not aggrieved." ”

Su Su looked at the second girl's stunned appearance, pursed her lips and smiled.

"You put your baggage on the chair first, and I'll take you to eat. ”

Li Mingcian and Erya put down their burdens and opened the door to see that it was already dark.

The dinner that Su Su took the two sisters to eat was very simple, just one meat, two vegetables and steamed buns.

Li Mingcian and Erya ate very shabby at home, so they couldn't hold it when they ate a lot of oil and water at first glance, but because they were in someone's house, they were half full.

After eating, I took the two girls to the next room to wash, the bathroom in the next room has a bath bucket, which is generally used in rotation, and some people who love to clean are scrubbed by their own basins, and they don't need a bath bucket there.

Li Mingcian looked at the common bath bucket and hesitated, she didn't want to take a bath in the bucket that everyone used together. She didn't like the tub either, so she took it upon herself to go to Madame's treasury and fetch two new small wooden tubs.

Li Mingcian and Erya took a back-to-back bath.

Su Su brought two buckets of water for them to use. Li Mingcian first scooped half a basin of hot water, and then mixed half a basin of cold water. She first poured water from head to toe with a scoop, then wet the towel and washed it carefully.

After taking a bath, the two sisters were led back to the house by Susu, because Susu had something to do, so the two sisters went to bed by themselves.

The bed was wide and had a soft bunk on it. Erya tugged at the thin quilt, only feeling very envious: "If only we had such a mattress." ”

Li Mingcian looked at the bed tent with her eyes open, handmade soap flashed in her mind for a while, and bloody clothes flashed in her mind for a while, and after listening to Erya's words, she comforted: "There will be." ”

Erya sighed and closed her eyes, and after a while, she spoke again: "Sanya, are you asleep?"

Li Mingcian turned over, and she looked at the second girl in the dark: "No." ”

Erya stretched out her hand and groped for Li Mingciao's hand: "Sanya, I'm afraid, the clothes ...... during the day."

Li Mingcian held the slightly rough little hand in his hand and clenched it: "Don't be afraid, it's safe here, sleep." ”

The tiredness of the day gradually set in, and the two sisters fell asleep.

The next day, she got up very early because she had to work. Li Mingcian actually woke up, because some people recognized the bed. But Erya was still sleeping, so she simply closed her eyes and continued to sleep.

It's the first time for Erya to sleep so comfortably, look at her posture, she has the idea of sleeping until three poles in the sun.

It was a little brighter, and there were people walking in the courtyard. Li Mingcian saw that the big families on TV got up early, so he pushed the second girl. You can't sleep lazily in other people's homes, otherwise it's rude.

Erya looked at Li Mingcia in front of her in a daze, she smiled, leaned over and rubbed her head on Li Mingciao's head, and continued to sleep.

Li Mingchan: ......

This bear child!

Li Mingcian stretched out his hand and lifted the quilt of Erya. As soon as Erya's body was cold, she suddenly sat up. Looking around in a daze, and then looking at Li Mingcian's evil smile, she understood what was going on.

Er Ya flattened her mouth, reached out and twisted Li Mingciao's ears: "Sanya, you are a bad thing!"

After the two sisters followed Su Su to have breakfast, Shen Xiqiao came to find Li Mingciao.

"Sister Cicada, I've got what you want. Shen Xiqiao said happily.

Erya looked at Shen Xiqiao with a face, and suddenly felt that he and Li Mingcian seemed to have some little secrets.

Shen Xiqiao noticed that Erya was looking at him, so he smiled slightly: "Sister Erya." ”

"Erya" is not very good, and it is like a woman's small characters, Li Mingcian doesn't want Shen Xiqiao to call her sister like that, she feels that it is a little offensive to Erya.

"Little boy, my sister's name is Li Chunhe. Li Mingcian pouted and jumped off the chair.

Erya also felt novel when she heard her name, "Chunhe, Chunhe ......", what a beautiful name.

Shen Xiqiao apologized very kindly: "I'm sorry, Chun and sister, I didn't know your name before." ”

Erya jumped off the chair happily: "It's okay, I just knew that my name was Li Chunhe." ”

Shen Xiqiao, Li Mingchan: ......

Li Mingcian muttered, "You knew it yesterday." ”

Shenxi Bridge: ...... Then you blame me for calling someone "Erya"?

Erya touched her head: "Is there one?"

Hehe, she was so nervous yesterday that she didn't know what Sanya said.

Shen Xiqiao led the two little girls to the front yard. There was a room in the front yard that was empty, and Shen Xiqiao asked Banyue to buy what Li Mingcian needed. Li Mingcian knew that Shen Xiqiao liked orchids, so she asked Banyue to help find some clean orchid petals.

Li Mingcian used it to make a fire in the stove, and then asked Erya to help watch the fire, and smelted the raw materials in a new and clean copper pot by himself.

After adding spices, the fragrance begins to fill the yard, and when magnolia petals are added, the fragrance is even better.

Shen Xiqiao looked at the pot of fragrant paste and said he was very surprised.

"This is much lower than the cost of bath beans, so it can also be sold cheaper, and ordinary families can afford it. Li Mingcian stirred the paste in the pot to make it mix more evenly, "I named it soap because it is fragrant." ”

Shen Xiqiao thought it sounded very good, but he pondered for a while and still raised a little question.

"Bath beans are added with 12 kinds of spices, so the cost is high. Then we add less spices, and the cost is naturally low. Shen Xiqiao looked at the grunting pot, "Then this cost mainly comes from spices, spices are very expensive." ”

Li Mingcian felt that it was almost over, so he reached out and took out the soap juice in the pot: "Next time, we can extract the essence directly from the flowers, then it will be cheaper." Moreover, our soap can not only take a bath, but also wash your face, hands and clothes, which is very useful. ”

Thinking of this, Li Mingcian felt that he could develop some skin care products. For example, extract the essence of cucumber aloe vera and make it into a mask.

"Little boy, where are you going to sell soap?" Li Mingcian took out the ingredients in the pot and boiled it again.

Shen Xiqiao watched her skillfully make soap and thought it was very interesting: "In one of my mother's rouge shops, the rouge gouache there sells very well. ”

Li Mingcian felt that her product might sell well, she thought about it and decided to talk to Shen Xiqiao about the conditions: "Little boy, I can also make something that makes a woman's skin delicate, I will make this and sell it to you, and then you can give me dividends." ”

"Oh?" Shen Xiqiao was surprised, he didn't expect this little guy to know so much, "Then how much do you want?"

Li Mingcian felt that he still needed to rely on others, so he smiled flatteringly: "I want four points of profit." ”

Shen Xiqiao looked at the little girl in front of him and pouted: "Little girl, lion big mouth! It stands to reason that I only give you a salary. ”
