The whole family was busy together for several days, the pond was finally done, the fish fry were put down, and the bamboo fence was also fenced, Lin He looked at this pond, and always felt that something was missing, and looked carefully, because the pond was bare, not good-looking, and some trees should be planted next to the pond.

Lin He told Erniu, Erniu picked a large handful of wicker from the village, cut a few meters next to the pond and inserted one, saying that after a while, the wicker can grow, and then the wicker will grow into a willow tree, and the pond is beautiful here, and it is cool in summer.

Lin He thinks it's very good, this willow tree is easy to feed, and it is very beautiful when it grows up, so it is the best place to plant it here. After more than 20 days of busy work on this side of the pond, it was finally done, and Erniu asked Dajiang and Dasheng to send some grain every morning and some grass in the afternoon.

Basically, this fish doesn't need to spend a lot of energy on it at the beginning. But since the fish pond has been built here, and the one near this side, Lin He has to make a small pond and put some ducks in it, so that the duck feces can be eaten by the fish, and the duck eggs can be sold.

However, Lin He felt that the top priority was to build the paste-making room first, and if Erniu, Dasheng, and Dajiang did it together, they could be done in a few days, and there was no need to invite someone, and the paste-making room was selected behind the bathroom of Lin He's house, which was the farthest place from the toilet pigsty.

Lin He also asked Huang to let the chickens out during the day, and temporarily put the chicken coop in the front yard at night, and wait until the small pond over there is built, and by the way, also enclose a fence, and then release the chickens during the day, let them find something to eat by themselves, and put them in the fence with the ducks at night, not in the yard.

Although Lin He in his previous life was not very delicate, he didn't know why he didn't like excrement like chickens and ducks, and it could be said that he was more repulsive to these things, so since he came here, he has not allowed the Huang family to put the chicken in the front yard, even if it is put in the backyard, it is far away from here, and it is put in the toilet.

Although Lin He's toilet and pigsty are all in the backyard, they are when they are built. And there was another wall in the middle. In this way, if people who don't know, they can't see the toilet and the pigsty, but only the wall, so the backyard is also very clean.

Now it doesn't matter if you add a paste-making room in the backyard, Lin He told Erniu about his thoughts, the paste-making room doesn't need to be too big, it needs to be more than ten square meters, and then build two stoves inside. After the house is ready, you can buy other things.

The plaster room is also made of blue bricks, the floor is made of bluestone slabs, the roof is tiled, the house is slightly higher than the general kitchen, and the chimney has everything. In this way, it is more convenient to make paste at that time. In this way, the house is relatively spacious, and the materials for making paste can be placed in it, so there is no need to put it everywhere.

The most important thing is not to occupy the kitchen at home in the future, the kitchen is not good for making paste, when the materials are put inside, I am worried that the smell of oil smoke in the kitchen will pollute the smell of the balm I make, and if the balm is mixed with other smells, it will definitely not work, so every time before the balm. The whole family has to clean the kitchen thoroughly. The problem is that some of the smell of oil smoke cannot be washed.

If you have a special paste-making room, you don't have to worry about these problems in the future. Then the family was busy for a few days, and finally got the ointment room that Lin He requested. Lin He was very happy, although it was only a small house, but in the future, it would be his own studio, and it was great that he could do what he wanted in it.

However, the recent silver in the family has also spent a lot of money, and Lin He can't help but sigh again, this silver money is really difficult to earn, no, to be precise, it is difficult to earn and more difficult to save, every time you make some money, but the expenses of the family are also a lot, the previous paste making is almost a hundred taels, this buy land, build a yard, open a pond, this build a paste house, these days' food expenses, plus Dabao went to the town to give some, the rest is less than forty taels, fortunately, the money for this paste is recovered, or I am not afraid that there is no capital.

Lin He also promised Uncle Wen to study some other things, which also cost silver taels, and it was good to do it, if it couldn't be made, the silver money would be wasted, and there would be no profit.

Lin He said that he wanted to buy the mountain, and asked his father, who said that the father and the aunt were similar, saying that the mountain over there was relatively large, and it would not be very cheap, and I was afraid that it would take a sum of money to buy it.

It's been a few days since the paste-making room was done, except for Lin He occasionally going to sit inside, everyone didn't see Lin He making paste inside, and they couldn't figure out what Lin He was thinking.

In fact, Lin He was thinking about what could be made during this time, what could be made by himself, and there were materials at this time, Lin He thought about it for several days, and finally thought of one thing, which was soap from his previous life.

It's getting hotter and hotter, and it's time to use soap. At this time, people don't seem to have these things, they don't even take a bath, and they don't even take a bath in winter, so Lin He still can't stand it. It's April now, and I'm sweating when I move a little.

The more Lin He thought about this, the more he felt that making soap was the best, no, strictly speaking, it was to make soap, you could add some fragrance to it, and the first choice was of course to make cherry blossom-flavored soap.

You don't need too much to make this raw material, it's just some beeswax, glycerin and the like, but the glycerin here can be the same as almond oil or lard, and the slightly more troublesome thing is that you need caustic soda, which is not available at this time, but Lin He thought of replacing it with something else.

At this time, there is miscanthus nitrate, which is the sodium sulfate mentioned in the previous life, which is still relatively pure, and then burns the raw lime, adds water to get lime slurry, and adds miscanthus nitrate, and the solution is caustic soda. After the caustic soda is refined, it can be made into soap, and then the fragrance can be added by yourself, and you can taste whatever you like.

The soap pointed out can be used to bathe and wash the face, these raw materials are relatively cheap, but they can be mass-produced, and there will be more people who use them, not only limited to women, men and children can use it, this does not belong to the cosmetics category, belongs to the grooming category, and is widely sold.

Therefore, this soap Lin He plans to make more and sell it cheaper, and the concept of selling this is to make small profits but quick turnover, and may make more money than these balms. (To be continued.) )
