Chapter 16: What Day?
Thinking about it, Xiaomi feels that the key is still in Luo Qinghai's body, isn't he the boss of the Luo family, he has to listen to him. Then, if you hurry up and get the handmade soap out, won't you help him solve the problem for the Luo family, in that case, it will be much more likely that you will stay here.
Millet, who was determined, went to bed without having her hair wrung dry. I want to go to bed early, and I have to pick peach blossoms tomorrow.
Chunhong thought that the little master was tired of playing, so she helped her put down the bed curtain, blew out the candle, and when she was about to leave, the person on the bed made a sound; "Sister Chunhong, can you help me find a basket or something, I want to use it tomorrow."
"Of course you can, I wonder what the girl is going to put in the basket?" Chunhong stopped and turned around and asked.
"Petals." Xiaomi didn't hide it, otherwise the basket she found was not suitable for holding petals. I'm a little girl, and it's nothing unusual to pick petals to play, so there's no need to lie.
Petal? Chunhong was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, and asked with a smile; "Does the girl also want to use flower petals to soak in the bath? I have something to do in my own storehouse, so I'll just ask the housekeeper for some tomorrow, so why bother to pick them. ”
"No, I just want to pick it up and play with it." Xiaomi hurriedly explained, because the candle in the house had been extinguished, and she couldn't see Chunhong's expression outside the bed, but she could feel her laughing, but she agreed to help find the basket.
Laugh, laugh, Xiaomi knew that Chunhong had no malice, and took a bath and fell asleep comfortably.
After eating breakfast on the second day, he went to the garden with the bamboo basket that Chunhong had found, and this time Chunhong asked if he wanted to help, and Xiaomi nodded and said yes. Moreover, I also called another girl, Narcissus.
If you don't let them help, how long will it take you to pick it before you can pick enough, so that millet is not stupid.
In the garden, there are more than a dozen peach trees, which ones cannot be picked, because those few will bear peaches. The peaches in the corner were not tasty, small and ugly, and it was useless to keep the flowers.
Although millet does not understand fruit trees, it also knows that it must be the reason for the variety. Looking up at the peach blossoms that have entered the end of their flowering period, I am glad that it is not too late. If it's a few days later, we'll have to find other petals.
Luo Qinghai's garden is not big, in addition to the peach tree, there are several other fruits, peony and peony seedlings, there are not a few, on the contrary, there is an old uncle who is tending to a few pieces of vegetables. This made Xiaomi feel that it was more appropriate to call it an orchard vegetable patch here.
She remembered what she had guessed the day before, if the Luo family was really a reclusive official, or someone who was close to the royal family, then the garden should not be taken care of like this, right?
Thinking of this, Xiaomi couldn't help but laugh. Seeing that Chunhong and Narcissus had already started to pick the petals, Xiaomi couldn't laugh. The peach tree is different from other fruit trees in that its branches are spread out and not too high above the ground.
It's not a hassle for the two girls to pick it up, what about Xiaomi herself? I had to stretch my arms on tiptoe to pick them, but after picking a few flowers, my arms were sore, and my toes hurt.
Narcissus, who was later transferred to Xiaomi's side to serve, didn't like to talk, she first noticed Xiaomi's struggling appearance, so she whispered to Chunhong to see.
Chunhong couldn't help but smile and said to Xiaomi; "The girl is enjoying the flowers on the side, let's pick them, and make sure that this basket can be filled before noon."
Xiaomi doesn't want to nod or not, who makes his current height really unsatisfactory. She believed in the ability of these two girls to get it done before lunch. Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't pick enough in the morning, there is still the afternoon.
It's just that I have to go back early for lunch, because lunch has to be used with the Qin family.
Millet was under a few peach trees, admiring the peach blossoms on the trees, and from time to time she glanced at Chunhong and them. The two girls are both beautiful and developed, and under the imprint of the peach blossoms of the trees, there is a very beautiful painting in front of them.
If you come through by yourself, what will happen if you are a maid? Will it be like them? It looks good like this, although there is no freedom, but the Qin family and Luo Qinghai are good to their subordinates. That day, Xiaomi also heard Qin's chatter, Chunhong will be at the age of marriage in the New Year, thinking about which little girl in the house is suitable for her.
Having lived here for a while, Millet has gained some knowledge of the customs and habits of this dynasty. Know, the Luo family brothers, regardless of their age, have arranged a girl who is suitable for age and good looks to serve, to put it bluntly, it is a few girls who are prepared for the Luo family.
Boss Luo Qian, Xiaomi hasn't seen it until now. But he also knew that he had already decided on a family affair, and he got married after the autumn harvest, and the woman was the daughter of a teacher in the town next door. Listening to Luo Hu and them, there was originally a matchmaker who introduced the county master's concubine, but Luo Qinghai disagreed, only saying that he couldn't climb high.
Xiaomi couldn't help but sigh, the lifelong events of the ancients are really the words of the matchmaker of the parents! However, there is one thing she is quite relieved of, in the family motto of the Luo family, it is said that the daughter of the Luo family is not a concubine.
In other words, it will not happen if you are a small thing for others! As for whether the man will accept a few more concubines after getting married, she doesn't dare to guarantee it. Anyway, I'm only nine years old now, and the question of getting married is still very early, who knows what the situation will be by then.
Maybe you'll be lucky enough to have returned to the modern era by then, so why bother with your future troubles now? Isn't this a kind of self-inflicted trouble? Xiaomi has already thought about it, don't think about things too far away, arrange the life in front of you, and enjoy a happy life.
In the end, Xiaomi couldn't stay idle, wandering around and bored, so she began to struggle again to carry the skirt with one hand and pick peach blossoms with the other hand and put them inside.
The extraction of flower dew is very troublesome, and such a basket of petals, even if you succeed in extracting yourself, you can't get much. But the main raw material for making handmade soap is not it, it is just an additive. It was used for experimentation first, and it was not mass-produced, and it was enough.
If it is really successful, Luo Qinghai and they recognized it, there were no peach blossoms at that time, and there were other flowers that could be extracted instead. Wild roses, mint, whatever, you can do it on the hillside. Castor oil is very cheap, and a few copper coins can buy a pot.
Edible alkali and honey are easy to obtain. And milk, although I don't see cows in the town that specialize in milking, but there are cows with calves, and there should be no problem sneaking to borrow some from the cow mother, right? At most, cut some fresh grass to compensate for it.
The handmade soap is really successful and has been recognized by Luo Qinghai, so in terms of materials in the future, they will naturally find a way to solve it. It is illegal to kill a ploughing cow for meat, but it is safe to raise a cow to milk it. As for how to explain that he will make handmade soap at that time, Xiaomi has already thought of a rhetoric, and said that he was playing in the workshop and was inspired to think about it.
How can the distillation equipment be used, but also use the brain to meditate and try to use! As long as no one has insight into their true secrets, these things are fine. I just don't know what the mother of the flesh deity, Lu Shi, will think if she knows that she is so smart.
And that 'sensible' sister Xiaohui knows what it will be like. If a girl learns and marries a good man, how can she be good? Don't you want to live by looking at the faces of your in-laws and men? And I am different, I can take out the things that I will meet in modern times, and I will be able to eat and drink spicy food for a lifetime.
Anyway, I know what I know, it's all harmless to this dynasty, and I won't do any lethal weapons. In addition, this dynasty knows nothing about itself, so it will not use the history it has learned to change anything.
All in all, he won't be a sinner through the ages, at most he is just a millet worm with a more cheerful personality who ran to ancient times.
The peach blossoms soon filled the bamboo basket, and Xiaomi asked Chunhong to help them carry them back to the residence and put them in a cool place, and she washed her hands in the bucket that the old man used to water the vegetables, and shook the water droplets on her hands and went directly to the Qin family.
When I approached the main hall, I didn't feel right, what day was this? Why is it so lively, it seems that he is still arguing about something, Xiaomi can't help but get nervous......
