Volume 2 The Wind Rises in Jiangdu Chapter 76 New Ideas for Making Money

The next morning, Xiuju woke up from her deep sleep, raised her hand to rub her sleepy eyes, looked around, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Pang Qing's room!

Reminiscing about the fullness and beauty of last night, a trace of obsession flashed in Xiuju's eyes, and there was a faint wetness between her thighs, and she was shocked when her eyes swept through the light in front of the window.

It's dawn!

In the past, after every big battle, she would go back to her room to rest after a while, so as not to be broken by someone when she left again at dawn.

After all, no one knows about the affairs of the two, even if Lang has the intention of a concubine, as a slave and maid, he must be allowed by the lord and wife before they can become husband and wife.

The two of them are so matchless, which can be regarded as ruining the style of the door and disrespecting the master.

Last night, it was estimated that he was too crazy and tired, so he stayed overnight here in Pang Qing. I thought that I would have to serve my wife to get up and wash up and dress up, and if I was late, I was afraid that I would be punished.

Xiuju hurriedly rolled down to the ground, but seeing that she didn't have a strand all over her body, she quickly looked left and right, and saw that the long skirt and dirty clothes were on the bed, so she hurriedly grabbed it, put it on her body one by one, and put on her shoes and socks properly, and walked out quickly.

At this time, many maids and housekeepers had already gotten up and were busy, Xiuju was in a panic and collected her mind, and people were forced to calm down a little. When someone passed by along the way, he bowed his head slightly.

hurried to the kitchen, but was told that the maid Xiulan had come over to fetch hot water for the third lady, and breakfast had just been delivered, and she was shocked.

It's all because Pang Qing was too violent, and he was tired and sleepy, so he missed the time to get up, delayed his wife's washing, and was afraid that punishment would be inevitable.

Xiuju came to the east wing where the third lady lived with apprehension, and the third lady was sitting upright without sorrow or joy, eating breakfast slowly, but the person standing next to her was unexpected, it was her happy enemy Pang Qing.

"Madame, forgive me! The slave and maid were so tired yesterday that they missed the time to get up, delayed their wife's washing, and were willing to accept the punishment! Xiuju stepped in front of the third lady in a few steps, fell to her knees with a "plop", and begged bitterly.

As he spoke, Yu Guang secretly observed the reaction of the third lady.

But when she said the word "tired", the third lady's eyelids jumped, I don't know if it was an illusion, the third lady's pretty face was a little blushing.

Pang Qing stood there with a smile, squeezing her eyebrows at her, Xiuju's heart was hot, she didn't dare to look at it anymore, and hurriedly lowered her head.

After a while, the voice of the third lady slowly came out, "You serve Mrs. Ben all day long, it is inevitable that you are a little tired, and it is understandable that you occasionally get up late, and Mrs. Ben can't bear to punish you, get up!" ”

"Mrs. Xie!" Xiuju quickly got up after bowing and thanking her, and moved to the side of the third lady, looking at Pang Qing with puzzled eyes, but was looked at by the third lady.

"Pang Qing has something important to report to the master, but unfortunately the master is not in the house, so he had to come to me early in the morning to report it." The third lady said unhurriedly, as if to explain why Pang Qing was in her room early in the morning, "Okay! Now that the report is over, let's step back for the time being! ”

Pang Qing turned around and hugged his fist towards the third lady, and said: "The master is not in the house recently, and the villain may come to report again if he has something important, which will inevitably disturb the lady's rest, please forgive me!" ”

The third lady turned her head and looked at Pang Qing with a stunned expression, but saw him standing there with his fists clenched with a calm expression, leaning less, and hummed softly, "Stand down!" ”

"Yes!" Pang Qing clenched his fists and shouted his orders, turned around and walked out quickly.

Xiuju glanced at the tall back of the departing figure, and there was a burst of sweetness in her heart. Where did he come from, most of the time, seeing that he was sleeping, he couldn't bear to wake himself up, and he was worried that he would be punished, so he ran to his wife to help him cover first.

The third lady also stole a glance at the departing figure, her expression was complicated and inexplicable, with fear, remorse, confusion, and a trace of satisfaction in eating the forbidden fruit.

The master and servant, sitting and standing, their eyes were paying attention to the departing figure, but their thoughts were different, and the quiet needle drop in the room could be heard.

……

"Childe! What are we going to do here? Wu Liu stepped forward and asked.

Early in the morning, Jiang Nan ran to Dingshengyuan, greeted Wu Liu, Wufu, and a dozen brothers, and ran to the market.

"Pick up something!" Jiang Nan walked briskly in front and gave a sentence without looking back.

Wufu walked on the other side, and when he heard the words, he hurried forward two steps, "Buying?" What to buy? Childe commanded, a small run is done, why do you need Childe to go in person! ”

Jiang Nan paused, stopped his body and groaned for a while, then turned back and swept over everyone, "Sixth, how is the house outside the city built?" Can I move in? ”

Wu Liu looked at Jiangnan with a stunned face and asked, "Now?" The main house has been built, but there is nothing in it! It seems to understand why Jiangnan is leading so many people out, "Childe, is this planning to buy living utensils in the house?" ”

Jiang Nan replied, looked at Wufu again, and said, "You take your brothers to buy daily necessities!" Delivered directly to the mansion outside the city! As he spoke, he handed all the silver tickets in his arms to Wufu, "If you don't have enough money, buy the ones that you will use immediately, and talk about the rest later!" ”

Wufu took the silver ticket and glanced at it, his eyes widened in surprise, there were hundreds of taels, and he hurriedly divided half of it and handed it back to Jiang Nan, "Childe, I don't need so much!" ”

Jiang Nan pushed the silver ticket back to Wufu and said, "I haven't finished talking yet!" There are four things, you buy them and send them to the house outside the city as soon as possible, I have an urgent need! One is to buy two large iron pots, the second is caustic soda, the third is salt, and the fourth is lard. The more lard or fatty meat, the better, and buy one or twenty catties of caustic soda and salt first. Questions? ”

Seeing Wufu and the others shaking their heads, Jiang Nan waved his hand, "Go!" ”

Wufu and the others nodded in response and continued to walk forward, discussing where to buy these four urgently needed things.

Jiang Nan patted Wu Liu's shoulder with a smile, "Let's go!" We'll wait for them at the mansion outside the city! ”

"Childe! Why are you in such a hurry to move out? ”

The two walked for a while, and Wu Liu asked with an incredulous expression.

It turned out that Jiang Nan had said that he would move out of Yao's Mansion when the main house was built, but the problem was that the main house was only covered at present, and it was empty, and it would take at least a day or two to clean up before it could reach the conditions for moving in, but just now I heard Jiang Nan say that he planned to live there tonight, and I didn't understand why he was in such a hurry.

…… Jiang Nan didn't respond, and his face was as secretive as deep. After waiting for a while, he said loudly: "As soon as there is news from Yangzi's side, notify me immediately!" ”

Wu Liu nodded, "Don't worry, Childe, I have already explained it to them, and I will send someone to report it as soon as there is news!" Immediately, he thought of something again, and said with a curious expression: "Childe, what are the few things you asked Wufu and them to buy just now?" ”

Jiang Nan smiled incomprehensibly, "You'll know when the time comes!" ”

Seeing Jiang Nan say this, Wu Liu didn't continue to ask, but his heart felt like he was scratched by a cat.

Actually, it all started last night.

When Jiang Nan returned to his yard from the third lady, Xiao Cui was washing the "beggar suit" he had changed, which was not clean in itself, and he wore it for two days, and Xiao Cui had a hard time washing. Jiang Nan asked why he didn't use soap, but Xiao Cui looked dazed when he heard it. It turned out that there was no soap in this time and space, and dirty clothes were rubbed by hand, and those that were really not clean were washed with a mallet. Jiangnan instantly came up with the idea of making soap, which can be sold not only for home use. As a necessity of life, soap should not be marketable.

……

The two of them talked about it without a word, and they arrived at Liuquan Lake in a short time.

There are Wu Liu, Wang San staring, the house was built very quickly, at this time the main house has begun to see the scale, the eaves glazed tiles, vermilion columns, sandalwood doors and windows, the cangshi steps, but there is a bit of grandeur.

"Childe, why are you here?" Wang San saw Jiang Nan and Wu Liu coming over, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"I'm moving in tonight, come and have a look!" Jiang Nan walked around inside and outside the house, nodded in satisfaction and replied.

"Childe! We're back! ”

Wufu is indeed a good worker, as soon as Jiangnan arrived, they chased after the purchase.

Jiang Nan walked up quickly, patted Wufu's shoulder, swept his eyes over everyone, and said, "Hard work!" He checked a few things one by one, confirmed that there was nothing wrong, and ordered: "Put the two pots on the rack, I will use them!" Also, go pick up some firewood and come back! Grab a few more buckets of water and have them ready! ”

Everyone moved instantly, some people set up pots, some people went to collect firewood, some people went to the lake to fetch water, and they all came back after a short time, gathered around the pot, obviously more curious about what Jiang Nan was planning to do.

With so many people here, you don't need Jiangnan to do anything, you just need to stand there and command.

Although Jiangnan understands the principle of soap making, he has never done it himself, so for the sake of safety, try it less and accumulate some experience, even if it fails, the loss is not big.

Just do it.

Jiangnan: "Make a fire!" Add water to the pot and add half of the water...... Good! That's enough! Pour some caustic soda into the pan! Find a clean stick and stir it up! ”

Seeing that Wang San was directly about to stir with his hands, Jiang Nan hurriedly stopped: "No hands!" This thing can't be touched with your hands! ”

Wang San took the wooden stick handed over by his subordinates and stirred it up vigorously.

Jiang Nan: "That's right! Stir up all the caustic soda inside! Don't push so hard, be careful of splashing and falling on you! …… Good! Almost! Add the lard to the pan! Slow down...... Good! That's enough! ”

Wang San stirred for a while, his tired arms were sore, and Wu Liu hurriedly continued to stir instead of him.

When Jiang Nan saw that paste gradually appeared on the water surface in the pot, he hurriedly took some salt and threw it into the pot. After a while, I didn't prepare the mold, and there was no place for the soap to hold it!

"The third! You get a carpenter to make a wooden box right away! The inner wall of the wooden box must be smooth and flat! Jiang Nan pulled Wang San and ordered urgently.

Although Wang San didn't know what Jiang Nan was going to do, he knew that he would definitely not be untargeted, so he responded and left quickly.
