Afraid that their father would be lonely in bed alone, they all ate on the kang in their father's house. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The family was amazed by the green noodles made by the new method, and ate the cold wild vegetables separately before they were ready to start their own work.
Seeing that Xu was about to get sorghum buns for himself again, Xiaoshan hurriedly stopped him, "Mother, I won't go to town in the morning." ā
"Hey, if you don't go, you won't go, and you can rest at home in the morning." Xu didn't ask much, Xiaoshan didn't say a lot of things, she knew it in her heart, but Xiaoshan was afraid that they would be distressed, and they pretended not to know, but sometimes when they talked about it at night, the two would cry together.
Hearing him say this now, Xu thought that Xiaoshan had been wronged in the town again, wiped his hands wiltedly, turned around and secretly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Mother, I'm fine, it's the eldest sister who said that the tower incense she and the little girl made is about to be dried, let me go to the town with her in the afternoon to see if I can sell it for money." Xiaoshan knew that her mother had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained.
"It's good to sell for money," Xu smiled embarrassedly and admonished, "It's nothing if you can't sell it for money, let's use it ourselves, my mother likes that taste." ā
"If I sell it for money, I will buy half a catty of pork and come back, if I want to be fat, mother, you will fry some meat oil for our family, and eat some oil to fight hunger." Xiaoshan said with a grin.
Xu Shi also smiled after hearing this, "Okay, if you really make money, you can buy it back, and my mother will make it for you." ā
The hill picked up the water and went directly to the stream of the col to clean himself.
Heiya didn't take a bath for a few days, she couldn't stand it anymore, she boiled a big pot of hot water, but found that there was no place to wash.
There was not even a larger basin at home, and after asking Xiaoya, I found out that her mother used to use a small basin to wash them directly in the yard.
Because there are only two small earthen huts in all, the floor is still made of loess, and if you want to wash it in the house, the water will spread all the mud on the ground.
Heiya thought about it, she really didn't have the courage to stand in the yard in broad daylight and take a bath, and finally hid behind the urn and washed her body simply, and washed her hair in the yard.
In ancient times, plant ash was very useful, not only for washing pots, baths and clothes, but also for keeping all the excess as fertilizer.
When taking a bath, the loofah is dipped in grass ash and scrubbed on the body, and the loofah is picked when the loofah grows to a very old age, peeled and seeded, and after drying, it becomes a pale yellow reticulated wood fiber.
It is generally used to brush the pot, and it can also be used to replace the bath towel, but the bath is used to pick the loofah when it is still relatively tender, and the loofah will be softer at this time and will not hurt the skin.
This is the information she found from one of the few memories of Heiya, and there is a scene in it where Xu grabbed the ashes of plants and trees to help her scrub them.
There are also soaphorn trees here, but there is only one in the two villages, because every family has grass and wood ash, and it is also convenient to use, so only some girls who love beauty will pick some soaphorn to boil water and wash their hair.
"I wonder if I can break down the soap corner and make it into a simple shampoo...... Nowadays, the big families don't know what they use to take a bath and wash their hair, so they can go to the town in the afternoon to inquire about the situation, and maybe they can find some way to make money. ā
Heiya thought about it, and at the same time quickly washed Xiaoya and Xiaohe with her hands and feet.
When Xiaohe took a bath, he screamed happily, standing in the small basin and refusing to come out, and in the end, the black girl was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he wiped it dry and threw it on the kang.
It was busy in the morning, and the black girl saw that Ta Xiang was almost dry, so she took out the smallest point.
A thin streak of smoke rose and dissipated after rising less than ten centimeters.
I don't know if it's because of the ability extraction, the incense made is much smaller than the cedar incense she made in her previous life, so she doesn't have to worry about the smoke being too big and hurting the lungs.
The smell of burning incense is fragrant and refreshing, as if you are in nature, and the smell of trees, grass and flowers is intertwined, which only makes the whole person seem to be uplifted.
"It smells so good...... the little girl closed her eyes intoxicated, and the others were all smiling.
Heiya silently remembered the hour, a small column of incense, about twenty minutes of burning, this is already very good, and this taste is better than the red material she has concocted in her previous life.
She found that the effect of the materials extracted with the ability was at least 30% better, which meant that the incense would not only bring people more pleasant feelings, but also have a stronger health care effect.
Heiya and Xiaoshan walked out of the house with everyone's expectations, and whether they can earn the first pot of gold depends on today.
"I'm tired, how far do we have to go." The black girl wiped the sweat from her forehead, squatted on the ground and refused to leave, she had been walking for at least two hours, why hadn't she arrived yet.
"It's only been an hour, and it's coming soon." Xiaoshan turned around and smiled helplessly, "Last time, you had to follow our mother to the town, and you had to go home halfway, why are you still so reckless after a few years." ā
"It's noon, it's too hot, I'll rest and leave." The black girl couldn't get up, and Xiaoshan could only wait for her.
The two of them just dragged their feet, usually walking on the hill for more than half an hour, but they walked for more than an hour.
The two had already discussed on the road, Xiaoshan knew that there were several big families with good character in the town, so they first went to the store to see the prices of various incense, and then saw if they could directly sell it to the door, if it really didn't work, they would sell it to the incense and candle shop, that is, it was estimated that the profit would be less.
When I arrived in the town, I found out that there were only three kinds of tower incense in their town, which were divided into two packages: 30 and 60. On average, the prices were 30 pieces of 50 yuan, 120 yuan and 280 yuan.
Xiaoshan is very happy, even if it is sold at the lowest price, it will cost fifty yuan. Heiya thinks that the price is a bit low, but this is in ancient times, the raw materials are sufficient, the labor is not valuable, and there will be no particularly top-notch things in the town.
If you can sell a little, as long as you can buy two catties of soybeans, Heiya doesn't expect to make a fortune with this, and she thinks about breaking the jar.
After asking the price, Xiaoshan led him to a family surnamed Liu, who was not the richest in the town, but definitely had the best reputation.
When he came to the back door, he happened to be a person who looked like a steward walked out, this person Xiaoshan knew, it was the housekeeper of the Liu family, Xiaoshan hurriedly greeted him, and greeted him obediently.
"Oh, it's you." Steward Liu saw Xiaoshan's brothers and sisters, and he didn't mean to look down on people, although he didn't know Xiaoshan's name, but he had seen it a few times, and he also knew that this child was not easy, and he came out to beg for a living at a very young age.
