Ma Du is a scholar, his classmates are Zhu Xiaobiao, Zhu Xiaoer, Zhu Xiaosan, and Zhu Xiaosi, who ended his childhood career early.

Ma Du regretted coming late, I heard that there were a few older ones before, but unfortunately now they are all "successful" under the training of Lao Song, and they have successfully graduated to serve in the army.

What a shame! Especially when he was punished, he really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, he didn't know if he should be glad that there were always two people as his companions, one was Zhu Xiaosi, and the other was Zhu Xiaoer.

Zhu Xiaosi slept because of class, and his time difference was obviously not reversed, as for Zhu Xiaoer, it was because he was naughty and mischievous in class, plus he didn't finish his homework.

Sometimes Zhu Xiaosan will also join in, because he always laughs at the poor uncle and the two stupid brothers who are punished, and because of this, he is often beaten the worst, and of course it is Song Lian who cleans him up.

Song Lian, the honest elder in Ma Du's impression, is actually the opposite, in his opinion, he is simply an old villain who abuses children. The half-inch-thick ring ruler knocked on the hand, and it was called a pain.

I don't know if Lao Song got the message of Lao Zhu or Ma Dajiao, and he took special care of Ma Du, and he didn't pay attention to listening to the lecture in class, and he had to be disciplined if he memorized the wrong book, and he had to be disciplined if he didn't interpret it correctly, that is, his mother's handwriting was not beautiful, his sitting posture was not correct, his courtesy was not in place, and his words were not elegant.

Of course, if Zhu Xiaosan is disrespectful to his elders and unfriendly to his brothers, it will be called miserable, and he will be directly pressed on the stool and spanked.

Ma Du is very suspicious that Song Lian used to be an old criminal name, and the method of beating people with a ruler is called a perfect fire, which makes you feel heartbreaking, and does not hurt your muscles and bones, obviously there is a faint pain before going to bed, but after one night, it will be fine, and it will not affect the continued beating the next day.

If Lao Song were to become a teacher in the future, he would be torn apart by violent parents in less than three days, but now he will only be praised by irresponsible parents for "playing well".

Ma Du, who knew that it was better to be a mine manager in Taiping Mansion honestly, and wanted to escape, I don't know how many times he was pulled off the wall by the guards, until a 25-year-old guard almost shot Ma Du's head with an arrow, and he no longer dared to climb over the wall.

After several oppressions and rebellions, Madu, a good young man from the 21st century, had to make compromises with the feudal powers. He used the shortest time to become a diligent and good student in the eyes of Lao Song, and after an examination by Lao Song, life finally eased a little, and Ma Du finally had time to implement his plan to make a fortune.

Poof, poof, two pieces of quicklime into the wooden barrel, began to emit a large amount of water vapor, quicklime also slowly cracked, gurgling bubbles, the pungent smell of quicklime also began to spread in the yard.

"Uncle, what is this doing? It smells terrible! Zhu Xiaobiao covered his nose with a handkerchief.

Zhu Biao is ten years old, he is considered a big child, and he was sent out by Ma Dajia to live with Ma Du, and Ma Du's yard was originally prepared by Zhu Biao, and it was Ma Du who occupied the dove's nest.

Ma Dajia said that he wanted them to study together, but in fact, he wanted Zhu Biao to supervise Ma Du's study, and by the way, he was a teacher. Zhu Biao is not very old, but Song Lian's proud disciple is more than enough to be a teacher for Ma Du.

However, Ma Dajia chose the wrong person after all, this kid's personality is too gentle, at most, "Uncle should read", "Uncle should write" Even if Ma Du didn't listen, he never saw him report to Ma Dajia the next day.

On the other side of his gentle character, he turned out to be very righteous. Every time his brothers were beaten by the board, he had to stand up, and Song Lian would symbolically beat him twice, even if Ma Du, a cheap and poor uncle, was punished, he also asked for mercy, but unfortunately the more he pleaded, the more Song Lian punished Ma Du more ruthlessly.

Zhu Biao also takes good care of several little brothers in life and study, and the delicious and fun are also given to the younger ones first, and he often supervises and urges them in schoolwork. Zhu Biao can definitely be called a model brother, if he can live to be the emperor, maybe Zhu Xiaosi will not rebel.

"Uncle is just doing a science experiment." Madu pulled him to prevent him from getting too close, and when there was no more reaction in the water, Madu asked Zhang Wuliu to mash the remaining lime blocks in the bucket and stir it vigorously.

Then he took out the soda ash that he had weighed in advance and poured it into the lime water, and the water immediately seemed to be boiling, and a large amount of steam came out, which was much more violent than when he threw the quicklime just now.

Zhang Wuliu's eyes widened, "Without fire, how can this water be boiled." Still sticking out his head to look into the bucket, Madu had to drag his clothes with his hands, "You can't be honest, beware of splashing into your eyes and blinding." ”

After a while, the steam gradually faded, and Ma Du led the two of them over, only to see that the water in the bucket had decreased a lot, and the remaining solution was also very turbid.

Wrapped a linen cloth around the mouth of another bucket, slowly poured the solution into it, filtered out the large impurities inside, and used it as a white linen for a filter, which soon became almost browned.

Zhu Biao said in surprise: "These impurities are all white, how can the cloth be dyed yellow." ”

Madu explained with a smile: "It's not dyed, it's burned." You see if it's a bit like a sign of fire. ”

Zhu Biao nodded, "It does look like a trace of fire, why is that?" ”

Madu uncovered the sackcloth and pointed to the turbid liquid in the barrel, "Because what is in it is no longer water, it is an alkaline solution, which is very corrosive." ”

Looking at Ma Du's ignorant expression, Ma Du sighed and said, "Uncle knows that you don't understand, just like uncle doesn't understand the Four Books and Five Classics." ”

"Uncle, don't be presumptuous, you only took ten days to memorize the four books and interpretations, my nephew admires it very much, but the nephew of these four books has been studying with Mr. for almost two years."

"Uncle just memorized them, but he didn't know how to write articles with them, so he forgot about them. But I have a lot of good ways to endorse it, much faster than you can read every day, and if you want to learn, I can teach you! "In order to cope with cramming education in later generations, the brick family called the beasts to not know how many sets of memory methods they came up with, and Ma Du was also killed in the sea of Wenshan questions, and naturally there are two sets of suitable ones, I hope Zhu Xiaobiao can be more relaxed and happy under Song Lian's ring ruler.

Zhu Biao said happily: "Great, Biao'er thanked my uncle, with the method taught by my uncle, I will be able to memorize more books in the future." Ma Du has to say that the realm of people and people is really different.

The caustic solution in the bucket gradually cleared, and Madu poured the clear liquid back into the first bucket that had been washed. Pour into an iron pan to heat, then pour in the prepared soybean oil and start stirring constantly.

That's right, Madu is making soap, crossing the things that the predecessors often do, with a low threshold, small cost, and high profits, which is really the best choice for people who travel to start a business and make a fortune.

Seeing the viscous liquid wafting out of the pot, Madu hurriedly used salting out the soap to separate the soap from the water. He'd done several experiments before, and now he's familiar with it.

Ma Du took out the yellow translucent paste from the pot, then added the spice powder that had been prepared long ago and poured it in, and let Zhang Wuliu stir it vigorously.

The spices were asked by Chang Mao in the Qinhuai River, and they are the favorite and most commonly used flavors of the girls in the Qinglou. Even the recipe for the spices was given by the girl from Qin Huaihe.

After seeing these spices, Madu had to admire the wisdom of the ancients. For example, Madu now uses orchid-flavored spices, but the raw materials have nothing to do with orchids, and I don't know how they are matched.

It smells very good, but the color of the spice itself is a little ugly, the original translucent yellow paste quickly turned black-brown, and at the same time, there is a very strong orchid fragrance, which exudes a rich and a little choking, and Zhu Biao has already pinched his nose

Taking advantage of the fact that the body of the paste was hot and had not yet solidified, Ma Du hurriedly asked Zhang Wuliu to pour the paste into the mold that had been prepared a long time ago. This mold is not large, only a few dozen troughs, which means that only a few dozen pieces of soap can be produced.

Zhang Wuliu poured all the paste into it, it was full, Ma Du took the lid engraved with an orchid pattern, buttoned it one by one, and immediately black paste overflowed.

"Haha...... That's it. Madu couldn't help but stretch his waist, and then waited for the paste to solidify.

Zhu Wenying's big head suddenly poked out from the wall next door, "What are you doing?" It's smoke and aroma again, choking people to death! ”
