Chapter 36 36.Side Hustle (1)
With the windows open, the moonlight in the sky is as cool as water,
Pouring in from the window lattice, shining on the bluestone paved floor tiles, revealing a hint of coolness.
Li Congjia sat cross-legged on the Hu bed,
Place your hands on the inside of your knees, close your eyes, and bend your chest with your breathing.
Two long, long breaths slowly erupted from the nostrils.
"People ...... Escape"
Li Congjia closed his eyes tightly,
In his mind, a villain who was cultivating seemed to appear,
This little man has large and small joints on his body,
Build the foundation!
"Isn't this the cultivator class? And the foundation seems to be a pretty awesome level, in the human escape, it's actually just the first threshold? β
Li Congjia didn't know if there was a difference between Zuo Ci's foundation building and the foundation building mentioned in Xiuzhen.
Maybe the level of the Book of Escape from Heaven is relatively high?
Each big level has ten small levels,
It's not lit and it's just gray,
When lit up, there are yellow circles.
Only when the small levels are full can you advance to the next stage.
This villain in Li Congjia's mind,
It only lit up the first circle of the foundation.
"One star on the foundation?"
Li Congjia marked his ability for the time being.
With the breath and cultivation, even if it is not allowed, but after a long time, the second circle can be faintly seen like a mineral water bottle being collected.
It is slowly rising.
"Useful ......"
Li Congjia was overjoyed, concocted as he was,
The second star also seems to have a faint sense of loosening.
Soon, the stars changed, and I heard a knock at the door, "Knock Knock ......".
"Come in."
Li Congjia opened his eyes, and a hint of agility flashed in his eyes.
Although I haven't slept all night, my body now seems to be full of strength.
I was also very full of spirits and didn't have any bad feelings.
"No wonder the immortals said that they can skip meals and drink water during the Bigu period, it seems that it is not a non-existent thing......"
Ruri obediently pushed open the door and walked in with a basin of water.
Seeing Li Congjia sitting cross-legged on the Hu bed, he was slightly stunned.
"Childe, you haven't slept all night, have you?"
Li Congjia took the water, wiped his face casually, and said: "When I was a child, I was instructed by immortals, you can practice without sleeping, eating, or drinking water. β
Liuli grinned: "How can there be anyone in this world who doesn't eat or drink, unless it's the king ......."
Li Congjia was embarrassed for a while, but this little girl still saw it thoroughly,
"But ......," said Liuli after a pause, "what is the point of living without eating or drinking?" β
Li Congjia's eyes lit up and said: "You can become an immortal, live for thousands of years, soar in the daytime, and be able to move mountains and reclaim the sea with a single move, isn't it amazing?" β
Liuli shook her head and said: "I have lived for so long, I have no parents, no son, how lonely it is...... Liuli don't live for so long......"
Li Congjia didn't expect to be able to say such a simple and easy-to-understand truth from the mouth of a little girl.
Up and down for 5,000 years,
How many emperors have been able to live forever,
Alchemy and medicine, the result is not only not flying immortals,
Instead, he ended his life early?
"If only the emperors of the past had you understand it like this......"
Liuli's face turned red: "How can the slave and maid compare with the emperor." β
Li Congjia said with a straight face: "Why can't you compare, they are people, you are also people, if you find a better way in the future, you can also directly throw the resignation report in my face, saying that the old lady is gone......"
"Hee-hee...... "Liuli giggled, "The maid has to follow the son, and she will follow the son for the rest of her life." β
"That's right." Li Congjia laughed and pinched Liuli's little face, "You are so well-behaved, why won't my son let people go......?"
Liuli asked, "Childe, what are we going to do today?" β
Today......
The restaurant must still take ten days and half a month, and it is not so fast to complete.
Da Zhou Chai Rong didn't know when he would meet him,
"Let's do some side hustle today."
"Side hustle?"
Li Congjia liked to read novels, especially historical novels, before he crossed over.
Like "A Good Man in the Tang Dynasty", "Back to the Ming Dynasty as a Prince", "Royal Entertainment Guide", ......
"Why don't we make a toilet water......
It's summer,
The demand for toilet water is unquestionable,
What's more, the autumn tiger hasn't come yet,
Before and after the white dew, the mosquito is powerful......
Li Congjia remembered that there was flower water in "A Good Man in the Tang Dynasty",
If you follow the recipe for toilet water,
Doesn't it feel like you're falling into clichΓ©?
"Why don't you make a soap...... yes, make a soap......"
Li Congjia hurriedly climbed to the table, "Liuli, grinding ink......"
Li Congjia lifted the pen,
Playing with the pen,
"Fat ......"
"Charcoal ......"
"Spice ......"
"Tea ......"
"Honeysuckle ......"
"Camphor ......"
"Mint ......"

Li Congjia handed the list of goods to Liuli: "Let Zhang Kang buy it." β
Ruri took the list and nodded.
And one more important,
It's just that you still need alcohol.
Of course, the best alcohol is pure, but now this condition is basically not pure alcohol.
Distillation can purify alcohol,
It doesn't need to be high, it's sixty or seventy degrees, it's about ......
Li Congjia ran to the kitchen with Liuli, opened a jar of wine and poured it directly into the pot.
"Ruri, burn the fire."
Although Liuli didn't know what Li Congjia wanted to do,
But what the prince said, she has always obeyed unconditionally.
Li Congjia cut a few bamboos from the flower garden at the door and opened them as a "drainage tube".
As long as the old wine is heated,
The alcohol will evaporate before the water,
Cool in a drain and leave it with alcohol.
Of course, it's not 100% pure, but as a solvent, it's barely enough.
The two of them were busy all morning,
Until Zhang Kang panted and took a few brothers,
Come back in big bags,
Li Congjia can be worthy of raising a small half of the altar of alcohol.
"It's so fragrant......"
Zhang Kang glanced at Li Congjia's wine jar secretly, licked his lips and said, "Childe, there is no merit and no hard work, this wine ......"
"Go, ......go, go," Li Congjia said, "Eat the wine at the door, don't delay the business." β
"Order!" Zhang Kang straightened his waist and carried a jar of daughter red to talk to his brothers about life.
Li Congjia threw the fat in the pot and continued to stew the meat.
Boil out a large pot of white lard.
Lard plus alcohol, plus lye, can make the grease saponification, add salt salting, and the obtained solid is dried.
But the soap that comes out of this smell is sour,
If anyone can smell it, how can there be a market?
Li Congjia further extracted the camphor, peppermint and tea leaves.
