Zhao Ping immediately pinched his mother's middle among the people, and after half a ring, his mother finally woke up leisurely, just staring straight at the roof with her eyes straight away, without words.

My aunt immediately confessed. The uncle covered his head, lowered his head, looked at the ground, and then kept beating his chest, muttering, "Brother is incompetent, brother is incompetent." Now, after the discussion of the clan meeting of Lijia Village, you have already started the revolution because you are not a person surnamed Li in Lijia Village. ”

My aunt took out a box, put it on the table and said, "Here is the mutual aid fee you gave to Lijia Village, a total of ninety taels for nine years, and Lijia Village also gave you one hundred taels, a total of two hundred taels of silver." Here are another two hundred guan from your own family, it is a little bit of my brother's heart, I hope Yueniang doesn't mind. ”

Uncle and aunt glanced at each other, looked at Zhao Ping, then looked at Li Hanmei, and then said: "Yueniang, Ping'er and Mei'er are the same age. In this way, today my family will be pro-decided. ”

Li Hanmei suddenly opened the door of the living room, hid her face and cried out, she staggered and cried while running, and was suddenly caught by her skirt and fell to the ground in a flash.

It seems that this cousin doesn't like herself very much, and it's better to have two maids.

The aunt glared at the uncle fiercely, and then ran out to help Li Hanmei.

The mother was originally in a daze, but when she heard this, she suddenly sobered up, waved her hand and said word by word: "Brother doesn't have to be like this, it's not the time to get engaged." ”

The uncle was about to say, but the aunt turned around and glared at him fiercely, and then said to the mother: "Yueniang, there is something in the restaurant today, let's talk about it another day." By the way, it is best for Ping'er to go to the county government school to study in the future. ”

The uncle's family was stunned, probably feeling that they had no face, and left without eating.

Zhao Ping found that his aunt was the first to leave with her daughter, and her uncle followed behind dejectedly.

My aunt and uncle are not of the same mind!

After his uncle left, Wu Tian took the pitch-black tablecloth and couldn't help sighing and said, "This tablecloth is too dirty, it can't be cleaned, so it has to be thrown away." ”

Zhao Ping had a flash of inspiration and said, "Granny Wu, don't throw it away, I have a way to make it clean." ”

How could Wu Tian believe it, and said: "I have washed it many times with alkali, hot water, and soap, but I haven't washed it clean, can Xiao Langjun be?" ”

Zhao Ping nodded and said, "As long as you listen to my command." ”

Under Zhao Ping's command, Wu Di and Wu Yun poured lime into two pots in the courtyard of the Wu family.

Wait until the lime boils and cools down, and then pour the same weight of alkali of the same weight, and stir it continuously with a wooden stick, at this time a large amount of precipitated calcium carbonate is produced in the lime water.

Then Zhao Ping asked them to filter it with a white cloth, and the filtrate was packed in a clay cylinder, which was the sodium hydroxide solution.

From the kitchen, there was a burst of aroma of boiled lard that made Wu Yilang and Wu Erlang drool, it was Wu Tian's and Wu Zhou's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law boiling oil, and filtering impurities such as oil residue with a white cloth.

Wu Jie and Wu Yun father and son used fine charcoal coarse salt to stir and saturate, and made snow salt through filtration and charcoal powder.

Half an hour later, Wu Tian, Wu Yun, father and son, lifted a bucket of boiled and filtered lard with all their might.

After the temperature of the boiled lard and sodium hydroxide solution dropped to the point that his hands were no longer hot, Zhao Ping asked them to mix together while stirring, and then kept stirring with a wooden stick.

At this time, it was almost dark, Zhao Ping ordered not to move, waiting for the two to saponify, and then couldn't help but fight his eyelids and go to rest.

The next day, a man named Deng Xiong shouted in a frightened and mournful voice in the outer courtyard of the gate: "Steward Wu, Xia Shuweng has gone, Xia Shuweng has gone." ”

Wu Jie was stunned for a moment and immediately replied, "Really? Then I'll take a look. ”

When Zhao Ping heard it, he also went out.

About a hundred steps away from Zhaojiazhuang, this is a house that is not a house.

It is made of yellow cypress trees as a support, a grass canopy as a roof, and a fence as a wall, barely able to shelter from the wind and rain!

There's only one room in the whole house!

Before Zhao Ping arrived, he smelled a strong sour smell, and there were many people inside and outside.

Zhao Ping endured the discomfort and walked over.

Everyone saw that it was Xiao Langjun who was coming, and they all gave way to a road. When the housekeeper saw Zhao Ping coming, he frowned, opened his mouth a few times, and finally didn't speak.

Some of the tenants wept and lamented, "What a wickedness, they were starved to death." His stomach must have been full of Guanyin rice (a softer beige soil). ”

Others said, "Is the lord really ignoring his own people this day?" ”

"Yes, I don't know if the main family has a way."

"I heard that the lord's family was also requisitioned by the government and the granary was emptied. Otherwise, at this time, they had to lend grain to their own families for a turnover of one or two. ”

"Xiao Niang's Weng Weng is also gone, and there are no relatives, what should she do?" Zhao Ping thought to himself that Zhaojiazhuang had become the last dependence of the tenants.

Inside, Zhao Ping saw an old man with wrinkled face and snow-white hair lying quietly on the bed.

There was a little lady with an oily face standing beside the bed, constantly shaking it to the old man, hoping to wake up: "Weng Weng, wake up..... I'm hungry. ”

But she didn't know that the old man was dead, and her little hands were still shaking, and her mouth kept shouting, but her voice was getting quieter and quieter.

Zhao Ping saw that there was a small wooden cabinet and three stone-built stoves at this time.

There were two bowls on top of the cupboard, one with yellow mud and one with a grain of rice.

The butler kept beating his chest and cried: "It's all my fault, I hurt Xia Weng!" ”

A woman next to her suddenly screamed: "Little lady fainted." ”

Zhao Ping's brain suddenly had a surge of blood, and he subconsciously reached out to the little lady on his back and ran towards the house, followed by many tenants around.

In the courtyard, Wu Tian glanced at Xiao Niang a few times and said, "She fainted from hunger." Now you can only feed some rice soup or gruel. After speaking, he brought out a bowl of rice soup, hugged Xiaoniang and pried her open, and fed her with a spoon.

Although the little lady was in a coma, she ate with relish and drank a bowl of rice soup cleanly.

This is the mother has already come, looking at the little mother with tears in her eyes, and she keeps wiping her eyes with a handkerchief.

Wu Tian also wiped his red and swollen eyes.

Zhao Ping pulled his mother's sleeve, looked at Wu Tian's sleeping little lady and said, "Mother, I'm so lonely, I don't have a sister yet, I can have a sister, right?" ”

The mother glanced at Zhao Ping a few times, pondered for a while, turned her head to Wu Jie and said: "Since this little lady is no longer there, let Zhao Jiazhuang raise her, and Xia Weng's burial is also responsible for her own family." Uncle Wu, tomorrow I will go to the county seat to buy a batch of grain, and then each household will temporarily lend three buckets of grain. ”

Zhao Ping saw Wu Tian's mouth move, and was glared at by Wu Jie a few times, but finally did not open his mouth.

I didn't expect that this year was really a house leak and it rained, this ghost weather just reduced grain production, not only the government urged to pay taxes, but unscrupulous profiteers took advantage of the dry weather to double the price of grain.

Seeing the kind-hearted mother put the few copper coins she gave into the family to buy grain for the tenants, Wu Tian had to worry that his so-called landlord's family would also not be able to open the pot.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ping couldn't wait to hurry to the hut in the courtyard of the Wu family yesterday, and saw a layer of cream floating on it, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, this is soap.

However, it still has some sodium hydroxide in it, sodium hydroxide is an extremely corrosive alkali that can burn your hands, not to mention damage the skin, and must be removed.

Zhao Ping shouted, and everyone came in one after another without knowing what was going on.

Seeing the things floating on the clay pot, everyone was amazed, but they didn't know what they were.

Under Zhao Pingyong's command, everyone put the creamy material into another clay pot of saturated salt, so as to remove the residual sodium hydroxide with strong corrosion, and finally took it out after half an hour, and then put it in a bowl.

Seeing everyone's inexplicable appearance, Zhao Ping said to Wu Tian's family: "Granny Wu, you take a tablecloth, it is the dirtiest kind." Wu Tian soon brought a black and shiny tablecloth, and looked at Zhao Ping, not knowing what to do.

Zhao Ping said: "You use chopsticks here to take a little bit of this thing, and then fully rub it on the tablecloth, rub it a few more times, and wash it twice in clean water." ”

Wu Tian followed Zhao Ping's instructions, and a miracle happened, and the tablecloth that could only be thrown away before was now as clean as new.

In the midst of everyone's stunned, Zhao Ping said again: "Little Lady Xia is dirty and smelly, please trouble Granny Wu to wash her with this, the amount is as small as possible, as long as you can gently wipe it all over your body, remember too much may hurt her delicate body." ”

At this time, Wu Tian and Wu Zhou's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law passed a pillar of incense and brought a shy strange and delicate and white child to everyone. ”

Wu Tian and Wu Zhou glanced at each other, Wu Zhou took out a penny to Wu Tian, Wu Tian took it and threw it in the air and laughed again: "The old man said it, no one can recognize the little lady after washing it." This little lady hasn't taken a bath for half a year, and she uses three buckets of water. The woman said that she could recognize it, and Xiao Langjun could also recognize it, so her family would turn it off once, as long as it was a penny, but she didn't expect that she would succeed in the next. This is a good sign, Lang Jun's immortal item will definitely be able to sell well. ”

As the housekeeper's Hun family, she probably knew that everyone had reached the end of the mountain, and she couldn't help but shed tears, and then looked at Zhao Ping and asked, "Xiao Langjun, I don't know if this immortal thing has a name." ”

Seeing everyone looking at him together, Zhao Ping nodded and said, "This is called fairy soap." ”

Wu Tian scratched his body and said embarrassedly: "The old body now also feels as if his body has not been washed, no, the old body will wash now." After saying that, he hurried up.

After a pillar of incense, the radiant Wu Tian said to the housekeeper: "Official, look at it, how is the wife now than before taking a bath?" ”

Wu Jie looked at it carefully, and then said excitedly: "The skin has become smooth and delicate, and the person is younger." It seems that fairy soap not only has a good cleansing effect, but also has a beauty effect. ”

Seeing that this fairy soap worked so well, everyone wanted to take a bath again, including his mother and Zhao Ping himself, of course.

"What's the harm with the dirt all over the body, the fairy soap is white and light after use. The dark clouds washed away the blue sky, and the disgusting rag was replaced with a new outfit. ”

Just as Zhao Ping shook his head and recited his latest work, there was a sudden pain in his ears, and he couldn't help but make an ouch sound.

"What kind of limerick are you, there is no poetry, no beautiful artistic conception, how can your mother give birth to such a strange son as you?"
