Chapter Twenty-Three: Picking Soap Horns

The three sisters began to cook dinner, chopping wood to light the fire, brushing the pot and washing rice, Jinxiu took over the work of cutting vegetables, and took out the spring water of the three bamboo tubes in the cave while they were not ready, poured two cylinders into the water tank, and left one tube for cooking.

Cooking rice with well water mixed with Dongtian spring water tastes of course excellent, and the soup cooked directly with Dongtian spring water is not too sweet, just a vegetarian meal, and the four mothers and daughters also ate a fine light, and Jinyun is holding on!

Tian also sighed: It's really an idler's extra food, we don't work and eat so much!

Jinxiu was speechless: If you don't work in the slack time, you don't need to eat?

At night, Jinyu wanted to sew new clothes, Tian winded, while teaching Jinyun to learn needlework, Jinxiu ignored Tian's objections, insisted on lighting two lamps, and then she didn't do needlework, picked up a piece of white linen, took the fire that was extinguished and cooled, sharpened it, and lay on the small square table to write.

Knowing that she can read and write, no one is surprised, Jinyu only looked up and asked:

"Sister, what are you writing?"

Tian said: "Eldest sister, can you still learn from your father to compose poetry?" You are not as good as Jinyu in needlework, and you are unwilling to learn by heart, what will you do in the future? If you can't sew a piece of clothing, your in-laws will dislike it! ”

Jinxiu didn't raise his head: "Mother, you sew well, I will take you to marry in the future, you sew clothes for me, I will provide for you for the elderly, and our mother and daughter don't have to be separated!" ”

Tian smiled angrily, and felt very warm, why didn't she want to live with her daughters forever?

But he said angrily: "Who has ever seen someone marry with his mother? In the future, you are not allowed to say such things, there is no misunderstanding, and I dare not come to your door to say goodbye! ”

Jinyu said: "Mother, don't worry, we will have our own house in the future, we are three sisters, you keep one by your side, and recruit your son-in-law to come to the door!" ”

Jinxiu glanced at Jinyu: "You know it very well!" ”

Jinyu blushed: "Liu Daniu told me, she said that there are two families in Xishan Village who recruit sons-in-law to support their parents!" ”

Jinyun looked at the two sisters, her mouth moved, but she didn't squeak.

Jinxiu asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

Jin Yun smiled: "I also heard that those who stay at home to recruit sons-in-law are all old children, so I'll stay and stay!" ”

Splendid dizzy, so young know how to recruit a son-in-law to come to the door.

Jinyu lowered her head and snickered, but Tian's eyes were red: "You are all good daughters of your mother!" Don't worry, before that time, my mother will be able to work when she is well, just marry you to a happy death, better than anything else! You don't have to worry about the elderly, you look at the opposite family Huang Po, her daughters are married, there is only one uncle left, her legs and feet are not good, her eyes are not good, and she can't marry a daughter-in-law, Huang Po doesn't rely on anyone to live a safe and stable life? Your aunt also said: She has three children, so I can't let me follow one child and be an old man in their family to watch dolls! ”

"That's not good, you have to guard our house, not go to my cousin's house!"

Jinxiu said, Jinyu and Jinyun also echoed, and Tian smiled with crooked eyebrows.

Jinyun saw that Jinxiu was written all over a white linen cloth, and asked her what she wrote?

Jinxiu said: "I always remember one thing, I wonder if you two still remember?" ”

Jinyun hurriedly asked what was the matter? Jinxiu said: "A while ago, we went to Liumu Village to find my aunt to borrow money, and then Fang Da Niu sent us to the town pharmacy to grab medicine, you two just watched the guy weigh the medicine in front of the counter, I walked to the place where the medicinal materials were collected, and I heard an old Taoist priest tell an old man, saying that the kind of soap horn for laundry, plus a few other herbs and leaves, can make better things, and you can add whatever fragrance you want, and you can add what flowers you want, which can be used to wash your hair and body, which is better than the kind of bath beans in the town store!" ”

"Really? Oh, I was in a hurry at that time, how could I listen to what the people next to me said? Jinyun, have you listened? ”

Jinyun shook his head: "The crude medicine seller over there is very noisy, the eldest sister went to see it, and I didn't listen to it!" ”

Jinyu hurriedly asked, "Sister, do you remember everything?" ”

"Remember, I remember it firmly at the time, but I was busy when I got home, and I didn't write it down in time, isn't this just thinking?"

Jinyu and Jinyun hurriedly said: "Sister, you think about it, you think about it!" ”

After a while, I couldn't help but say, "If only I could make a bath bean with a floral fragrance!" ”

Jinxiu nodded: "Yes, so I can't go up the mountain these days, I want to find some soaphorns, find those kinds of leaves and bark nearby, and I have to go to the town to buy a few herbs and essences, and make woody flavors first, try to see if it works!" It's done, we can go up to the mountains to find those medicinal materials, such as the wild apricots in the mountains, these people don't eat and don't pick them, but it can be used in medicine, and this thing I make will also use it! ”

Jinyun asked, "Sister, can I exchange money for it?" ”

Jinyu knocked her: "How much can you do?" It's good enough for us! ”

Jinxiu nodded: "Jinyun asked well!" When you try to make it, it's done, it's easy to use, and you can sell it for money! We don't have the ability to make it in large quantities, we can hand it over to people who have the ability to do it, we make a prescription, people pay for things, and the things that are made are also sold by others, and we will collect some dividends! ”

"Dividends?"

Tian was stunned, how far away are the words "dividend" from their families? That's what only the rich man dares to say, and it actually came out of his daughter's mouth, so it's not scary!

"Splendid, jokes can't be so big!" Tian didn't call his daughter the eldest sister when he trained him.

"Mother, I know, this is not a joke, if you really try...... You're just waiting for the local hostess! "Splendid Road.

Tian: "......"

It's so sad! The eldest girl looks like her father, so arrogant, her father is a man and can still get famous, what can the girl do? No matter how big your heart is, no matter how proud you are, I'm afraid you're going to suffer!

Jinyu and Jinyun didn't care what Tian was thinking, they were so happy when they heard their sister say that there was a way to make money, and Jinyu couldn't wait for dawn soon, so that she could take her sister to pick soaphorns and find all kinds of leaves and bark she wanted!

The next day the rain stopped, but the road was slippery and I still couldn't do anything.

Jinyu asked Jinyun to accompany her mother at home, and by the way, she watched the stove simmering bone broth, and she and her sister went to fight the soaphorn tree.

I went to Aunt Liu's house and borrowed a long bamboo pole, the soaphorn tree is very high, and the vine branches on it are entangled, and it is difficult to climb.

Liu Daniu and Erniu heard that they were going to pick soaphorns, and they had nothing to do left and right, so they had to go, and the soaphorns were brought back to boil juice and laundry, which was cleaner and fresher than washing with grass and wood gray water.

Sure enough, as Jinyu said, I walked a long way before I saw the two tall soaphorn trees.

Liu Daniu and Jinyu used a firewood knife to split a fork at the end of the bamboo pole, and the two of them held the bamboo pole together to poke the sangled saponaria branches, and pulled down the whole branch, Jinxiu and Liu Erniu squatted on the ground to pick and pick, and soon filled three back baskets and a pair of baskets.

A pair of baskets were picked by Jinyu, and she wanted to pick more to go home, but she took the flat road anyway.

Playing soapy horns, Jinxiu took a firewood knife into the small jungle by the river, chopping here and cutting there, while the two little girls were talking to themselves on the hill without looking at her, squatting down and flashing into the cave, went straight to the quiet room, practiced the Heart Sutra and hurried out.

Then I came back with a bunch of various leaves and bark, but in fact, they were all useless, just to make an eyesore for the family.

Liu Daniu asked what this is for? Jinyu said: "That day we went to the pharmacy to pick up medicine for my mother, my sister heard that she used this boiled water to wash her hair and shampoo well, she wanted to try it!" ”

"Really?" Liu Daniu was just surprised, and asked her to run to the river from time to time to find these bark and leaves, but she was unwilling and unavailable.

The splendid old god is here, and he doesn't explain much, but a few people carry their backs, pick and pick, and go home.

After lunch, the sun also dried the road a little, Jinxiu and Jinyu discussed, the sisters walked to the town, Jinyun also wanted to follow, Jinxiu coaxed her: "Next time I will take you, next time we will go as a family, go to Auntie's house!" You are at home with your mother now, simmering the big bone broth over a low fire, and we will come back in the evening to eat together! ”

Jinyun was obedient and stayed at home.
