May eggplant, June lotus pod, winter melon, July Ling, August lotus, this is the process of Yinglian, Xiangling, Qiuling from birth to death, but also the change of the season, fresh lotus root with a bowl of white rice into porridge, stronger than big fish and meat, "how to cook rice is as strong as cooking porridge, so as to discuss with children." Mo Yan is indifferent and has little taste, and the taste is long in indifference", wiping his mouth and rinsing his mouth, Jia Cong lifted his feet and walked, "The students will not stay overnight, and they will win a seat at the Luming Banquet next year, so that they can have the face to see the teacher, do you want a chef in your house?" ”

"Well, no need, the ministry doesn't see the ascending elephant, so there is no need to waste it, although your second uncle is not from Kejia, he is also a member of the eight shares, ask him too." Qin Ye sighed: "Zhong'er hasn't entered school yet, he still has to take the exam, there are champion apprentices, no champion master, my official career is behind, maybe it will fall on you......"

"That's good, but the students are disrespectful." Jia Cong went out with a smile, Qin Zhong grimaced, and Qin Keqing chewed slowly without squeaking.

"On August 15, the moon is unknown in the lower yuan, and the sky is not beautiful, don't they bring umbrellas?" Qin Ye looked at the overcast sky outside the hall and sighed.

Qin Keqing put down the dishes and chopsticks: "I'll send it." ”

She carried the hat out of the hall, and Qin Tong cleaned up the altar and melon and fruit offerings in the courtyard, "The housekeeper has worked hard." ”

"Miss wants to send Jia Xiaoxianggong? They were riding horses, and it was going to rain on this day. Qin Tong replied, she was in the corridor, Jia Cong heard it, stopped and said, "It's okay, what a long distance, often come and go." ”

"What should I do if I get sick, my health is not good, I can't get drenched in the rain, come, I'll tie it for you." Qin Keqing put a hat on Jia Cong's head, and two silk ropes were knotted between his chin and neck, "It's a lot taller, I saw you when I saw you, I was still a child." ”

"yes, not even before I know it."

"After taking the exam, you have to get married, young and handsome, someone has broken through the threshold to beg, is the threshold of the big house in Xifu rotten?"

"It's still very new, and it's different."

Qin Keqing silently walked side by side with him, the wind in the courtyard brought the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, the full moon on the night of the Yuan Dynasty was drowned behind the dark clouds, occasionally showing his face, as if he was running, as if he had brought an umbrella, the umbrella was a rolling dark cloud, and the papier-mâché lantern swayed under the door: "Is this journey hard?" ”

"How can you say bitterness, there is heaven above, there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below, the road is my choice, I can't blame anyone, boys can't say bitterness."

"Senior brother, is the lotus root delicious or the lotus root delicious?"

"June lotus, August lotus, June is the splendid summer flowers, August is the harvest of fruits, the former is hot, the latter withered, each has its own style......"

"What if you had to choose one?" Qin Keqing asked, but couldn't hear an answer for a long time.

"The past is over, so there's no need to mention it anymore." Qin Keqing shook his head, at this time he had already arrived at the door, the double ring of the beast and the stone lion of the gate were cold, seeing them go, the hand of the bright tile lamp was wooden, Qin Tong reminded to close the door, and her graceful figure disappeared in the crack of the door.

……

In the hustle and bustle of the small western market, in the lobby of Shanhai Bookstore, there are people reading books, reading chess, watching paintings and discussing poetry, Jia Cong is waiting in the courtyard of Erjin, Long Aotian brought a few cans of lard and brine, Sun Fu bought baking soda, lime, and rouge as instructed, and Luo Gaocai and Zheng Yexiao surrounded each side.

You Shi was also called out by Jia Cong to watch, and everyone watched inexplicably as Jia Cong first put lime and baking soda into the jar, and there was a reaction inside, and another liquid flowed out of the pipe below, Jia Cong explained: "The things that flow out will hurt people, you can't touch them with your hands, put this thing in lard, you can get soap......"

The sodium hydroxide was prepared, put it in another jar, and reacted with the lard, everyone didn't believe it, and You Shizi covered his mouth: "It's too dirty, I can't stand it." ”

After Jia Cong finished preparing the soap, he threw her a piece: "You take it and wash it, soap is better than soap......

You Shi went to the bucket next to the patio to wash it in disbelief, and after washing, his hands were really comfortable and clean, but there was a greasy smell: "Are you specifically fooling me?" ”

"I forgot, I forgot to add rouge, and I just added a layer of rouge to get rid of the greasy smell." Jia Cong laughed dryly.

Zheng Yeyu picked up a piece of soap, weighed it in his hand, wrenched his fingers to calculate the cost, and glanced at Luo Gaocai: "It's profitable, it's profitable!" ”

Sun Fu also covered his nose: "Master Cong, should these be removed?" The strange smell of a yard. ”

"Don't, look, the brine is heated...... Put the outgoing stuff in the lard again......"

Long Aotian did as he said, and Jia Cong asked Sun Fu to use chopsticks as a mold, wrap the remaining reaction products, and insert a wick.

After a while, the candle was lit, and it was bright and smokeless.

This bit of chemical knowledge only needs a high school level, prepared with baking soda sodium bicarbonate and lime calcium hydroxide to obtain sodium hydroxide, heated with brine magnesium chloride to obtain hydrochloric acid.

Sodium hydroxide is added to lard to get soap, hydrochloric acid is added to lard to get candles, and the remaining glycerin, although it can get rid of the astringency in the fruit wine, but there are already a lot of fruit wines in Daming and Dashun, there are wolfberry wine, wine, pear wine, lotus white, etc., but there is no need to fight for it, just the profits of soap and candles are already considerable.

"It turns out that soaphorns and candles can still be made like this, the cost can be described as very low, and the real quality and low price are ......" Luo Gaocai was so excited that his eyes were red: "Childe, I didn't see it clearly just now, do you want to come again?" ”

"No need, I'll write it down carefully, divide it into several parts, and cherish the broom from ......, it's related to everyone's rice bowl, and the recipe can't be passed on Jia Cong pondered: "One of you keeps a copy, and the craftsman who supervises the bookstore does it separately, you can set it yourself, second, the craftsman has rules, hire our family, and you can't be hired by other families, so the double constraint can be guaranteed......"

Luo Gaocai and Zheng Yeyu nodded and said yes, for their own interests, how can they reveal it, don't look at Jia Cong's completion in a few hours, the details can't be remembered once, Jia Cong instructed: "When you go to the branch opened in Nancheng, you will act as an agent for the three sisters of the You family, and they can also hire someone to run it, take care of the accounts themselves, and it can be regarded as worry-free." ”

Jia Cong was about to leave, You Shi thought for a while, and said, "My two sisters are here, I should thank you for your great kindness, we have a treat." ”

He stayed, went into the house to eat, Third Sister You poured wine, and said seriously: "I won't laugh at you this time, we will go home tomorrow and make a living by ourselves, and we will save the gossip." ”

You Shi and Second Sister You are still solemn, but Third Sister You is unrestrained, drunk and hot, Jia Cong looked at the three sister flowers in a room, and couldn't help but secretly think: "Your wife and children, I raised them?" ”

These three flowers are too ripe to be ripe, of course, none of them are perfect, but the movements are standardized...... You has a noble lady style, Second Sister You is gentle like water, and Third Sister You is fiery and charming...... Jia Cong hurriedly brushed away the dirty thoughts, and did not squint, but found that his foot was kicked by someone, and the third sister You on the opposite side smiled like a flower......
