Chapter 108 Attempt
Sun Chen raised his head and pointed to the petals of the moon season in the basket on the side, about a pound or so, and said to Shen Bo's wife Niu Shi, "You go and pound all the petals of these moon flowers into juice for me, I will be useful in a while." ”
"Yes, host." Hearing this, Niu neatly found the tools and began to work, her performance made Sun Chen nod with satisfaction, but when he retracted his gaze, he was surprised to see the little eyes full of longing cast by the few remaining people around him.
"Uh, you, come and help me stir." Sun Chen pointed his finger at Shen Bo and handed him the giant whisk in his hand.
"Hey! Yes, the proprietor. Shen Bo, who was named, was very excited, and as soon as he got the tool, he stirred it hard, but Sun Chen next to him was startled, "Hey, hey, hey, you give me a little force, if such a thick alkaline water splashes out, it will corrode the skin!" ”
Shen Bo's body paused slightly, and his face was slightly red, but when he started stirring again, his movements seemed to be much more careful.
When the color of the bubbling alkaline water became transparent, and the blisters inside no longer appeared, Sun Chen added an appropriate amount of glycerin and other ingredients to the porcelain basin one after another according to the recipe, "Keep stirring, don't stop, change people when you feel tired." ”
Of course, Shen Bo will not be tired. He waved his arm carefully, stirring and stirring in circles, gradually feeling that the resistance to the giant whisk beneath his hand seemed to slowly increase.
The liquid in the porcelain basin became more and more viscous, and Shen Bo was not as easy to stir as before, Sun Chen poured in a large bowl of unfiltered Yueji Flower Juice that Niu had just sent over. "Substitution."
Shen Yawei, who had long been eager to try, couldn't wait to stand up this time.
He took the tool from his father's hand and waved his arm carefully, only to find that it could not be stirred at all.
"Hehe, silly boy, you can use more strength this time, don't you see that your father is tired and sweating just now!" Sun Chen laughed at him, he was afraid that he would be trained as if Shen Bo had just started, this kid was quite clever!
Shen Yawei's face turned red, and then he stirred harder.
Seeing that the colors were almost evenly mixed, Sun Chen stopped him, and at this time, the liquid in the porcelain basin was faintly red, and occasionally the wisps of moon petals could be seen, which looked particularly beautiful.
"Looks like a success!" He pointed to the stacks of wooden molds on the shelves and ordered, "Bring them all down for me." ”
On the first day of the arrival of his third uncle Li Hansen, Sun Chen gave him a job, he painted many different kinds of patterns, and asked him to carve a version of the mold according to it.
Sun Chen has investigated that most of the soaps sold on the market are cut into square shapes, and the most creative one is just made into an oval shape. What Sun Chen painted was oval, heart-shaped, five-pointed star-shaped, and flower-shaped...... All sorts of things, all sorts of things. Even if it is the most unremarkable square, Sun Chen also asked his third uncle Li Hansen to carve a beautiful image of combing her hair in the mirror on it, which distinguishes it from others, representing that it is an exclusive product belonging to the 'Beauty Workshop'.
He wants to try to attract attention with novelty in the current seemingly saturated women's cosmetics market, and then win with the quality and service of goods.
Everyone carefully poured the stirred viscous liquid into the mold, and then lifted it to the shelf and placed it, waiting for it to stand for two or three days, and after the chemical reaction was completely completed, the shape solidified and then taken out.
"Give me this rice to soak in well water and ferment, and we can make some gouache after a while." Sun Chen explained. "Pound all the red and blue flowers in those two baskets into juice for me, and this time strain the petals with fine gauze, leaving only the juice."
"Yes." When everyone in the Shen family heard this, they all found their own jobs and got busy, Sun Chen nodded secretly, their family is not bad, they don't need to repeatedly emphasize what to do, just one point.
The fresh red and blue petals of the two baskets are not too heavy, and they look like five or six catties, but if they are all pounded into juice, it is also a lot of work, and it requires a lot of heavy and boring labor.
Everyone was still busy there, and Li Hansen came out of the front shop and shouted, "Ah Chen, it's time for lunch, should I bring it to you or let's go over and eat together?" ”
"Oh, no need third uncle, I'll eat here today." Sun Chen suddenly realized at this time that it was time for lunch, and his stomach rumbled at the right time.
"Niu, you go to the kitchen to cook first!" Sun Chen instructed Niu Shi, who was busy pounding flower juice. "Third uncle, go back and talk to the second girl, and say that I can't go!"
"Well, okay then." Li Hansen nodded and went out.
Niu Shi washed his hands, stood in front of Sun Chen and asked, "What does the owner want to eat?" I'll do it. ”
"Just get some food, and whatever you have in the kitchen." Long before Sun Chen went to Yapo, he had already thought about the food problem of these people who bought it back, so he asked the lady who sold vegetables in the market to help send a few kinds of vegetables in advance, and also ordered a few catties of pork with Pork Jiang, and asked him to divide them into two parts and send them here and the 'Sun Family Shop' respectively.
"Hey." Niu Shi responded crisply, walked into the kitchen and began to get busy, while the rest of the people continued to work in their hands.
In less than half an hour, Niu came over and called them to eat.
Sun Chen walked into the dining hall and saw four dishes and one soup on the table. Stir-fried greens, cold cucumbers, mapo tofu, tamales, and a tomato and egg soup, the staple food is steamed rice, which makes people's appetite move when they look at it. It's just that the amount of each dish is not very large, and with Sun Chen's habits, only two or three chopsticks can finish a plate.
"Then Granny Li is really, how can you eat so little food?" Sun Chen muttered while thinking that he would eat a little more rice at noon today and a few less chopsticks dishes.
"Why are you so slow, what are you all doing!" After Sun Chen sat down, he waited for a long time, but he didn't see anyone coming, so he couldn't help but shout loudly.
"Do you have anything else to order?" Niu heard Sun Chen's shout and came out of the kitchen.
"No, it's just calling you to eat." No one has come over yet, even if his stomach is already rumbling with hunger, Sun Chen's upbringing does not allow him to eat first.
"Uh......" Niu was obviously a little surprised, "I, we've already started eating." ”
“?” Sun Chen was stunned all of a sudden.
"We're in the kitchen." Niu lowered his head, as if he was afraid that Sun Chen would suddenly get angry, "I, I, I'll wait for you to eat." ”
"No, no," Sun Chen waved his hand, already understanding in his heart that he was being treated as a master and was 'offered' by them. "I'll eat it myself, and you can go eat too."
