Chapter 15: Song Yan Turmoil
Liu Yuanshan not only asked Wang Xiucai for more than a dozen pieces of rice paper, but also asked for a bald brush and a little big rosin ink ingot there, Wang Xiucai thought that he had suddenly changed his mind and seemed very happy, not only gave him things, but also helped him wrap them.

Of course, these things are not for study, Liu Yuanshan took two friends to the mountains and forests, found a place where no one was, and used the function of the golden divine book to write the words "handmade soap" in it.
Soap is a money-making artifact that must be made by traversers, and others can use it Liu Yuanshan can naturally use it, and, aside from making money, the clothes in this era really can't be washed, even if they use it to bathe and wash clothes, it is necessary to invent.
As Liu Yuanshan wrote the handwriting on the golden divine book, it began to automatically generate annotations similar to Baidu Encyclopedia, but its content is far more detailed and true than that of Encyclopedia, and there is no copyright problem =-=.
The preparation method of handmade soap is very simple, in general, it is to pour the grease into the caustic soda solution, solidify it and store it in pieces, and then you can use it after a month when the chemical reaction inside is over.
There are only two kinds of raw materials needed: grease and caustic soda.
Oils and fats are good, peanut oil, soybean oil and other vegetable oils can be, and if it doesn't work, you can also use lard instead, but caustic soda is not so simple to obtain.
In ancient society, there was no caustic soda in a natural state, and if you take 10,000 steps back, even if there is caustic soda in a natural state, where to find it? Tell the ancients that I want caustic soda, and people don't necessarily know what this thing is!
But it doesn't matter, Liu Yuanshan has a divine book.
According to the instructions of the divine book, if you want to obtain caustic soda, you must first obtain soda ash sodium carbonate, and then use sodium carbonate solution to mix with limestone and filter out the precipitated solids to obtain caustic soda solution.
Same problem, sodium carbonate has nowhere to buy!
Liu Yuanshan felt that those guys who traveled through the novel with the halo of the protagonist went to the store to buy caustic soda, soda ash, miscanthus or something at every turn, it was really unreliable, after all, there was almost no market for this thing, was anyone really stupid enough to sell it?
It doesn't matter if there is no place to buy soda ash sodium carbonate, it can be made, from plant ash.
Liu Yuanshan vaguely remembered that Second Uncle Mao specially burned charcoal in the mountains, although he had never entered the charcoal furnace where he burned charcoal, but there should be a lot of plant ash there.
"Transfer!" Liu Yuanshan silently read in his heart, the handwriting on the golden divine book was quickly transferred to the white paper under his hand, and a dozen pages full of soap preparation methods were not long ago, but all were a combination of Chinese Simplified Chinese and number symbols, and the Ming Dynasty in this world was estimated to be the only one who could read without barriers.
"Wow, Saburo, you're so powerful, you can write so many words in a while?" Edamame began to pat on the back.
Ergua was not to be outdone.
Liu Yuanshan waved his hand and quickly stopped the two of them, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, now I'll assign you tasks!" As he spoke, he took out twenty of the two hundred cents and handed them ten cents each, and said to edamame: "Go buy ten catties of quicklime and bring it here tomorrow." ”
"You, go buy two clay pots and bring them here."
After assigning the task to the two friends, Liu Yuanshan buried the remaining 180 yuan in front of the two friends, and said, "We can't use this money for the time being, let's bury it first." ”
"Good!" The two friends nodded in agreement, their faces purified.
Liu Yuanshan sighed secretly in his heart, the secret path is my villain's heart, this can be regarded as a test for the two of you, if you are not greedy for money, you will follow me for the time being, not to mention that you will be rich and noble in the future; But if you are greedy, everyone's friendship will end here, anyway, when my handmade soap comes out, the one hundred and eighty dollars will be insignificant.
After the things were arranged, the three of them came down from the mountain, the time was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Yuanshan felt that there was indeed a big generation gap with the two friends, and he was too lazy to play with them, so he walked home alone, and while walking, he still wanted to spend it after earning money? Is it better to buy land, or to buy people!
Before entering the gate, I heard a noise in the house, and it was vaguely mixed with the crying of the cheap old mother Liu, Liu Yuanshan secretly said that it was not good, could it be that the Dong family was bullying the old lady again! Thinking about it, he quickened his pace, and ran into the courtyard in a few steps.
There was no mess in the courtyard, and it seemed that there was no fighting, and Liu Yuanshan breathed a sigh of relief. As far as the eye could see, I saw the elder sister Liu Yanran pinching her waist at the door of the room, looking at her uncle Liu Xiaozhong with an angry face, and her mother squatting on the ground inside the door sobbing, holding something in her arms, which seemed to be very precious to her.
"Xiuyun, just give me that thing, when I get a half-official position in the future, I will definitely take your family of three to take office, and I will eat and drink spicy food in the future."
"No way!" Without waiting for Liu Xiaozhong to finish speaking, Liu Yanran said: "No one can give this thing, this is left by my father, my father said when he was dying, no one can give it, this is a family heirloom!" ”
"What! Heirloom? Mrs. Dong suddenly came out of the main room, looked at Liu Yanran and said, "Just that stone, is it still an heirloom?" ”
Originally, the eldest son said that there was a stone inkstone in the Liu family, but she didn't take it to heart, and secretly said that it was not just a stone, what is the main value. Now listening to Liu Yanran say what kind of heirloom it is, she can't sit still anymore.
Dong obviously didn't believe it, and looked at his eldest son with a verifying expression.
Liu Xiaozhong saw that there was a door, and hurriedly added fuel and vinegar and said: "Mother, you may not know, this is an old object, I heard Yanran and his father say before, it seems to be a thing of the Song Dynasty, it has been hundreds of years." ”
"Old things!" Dong's eyes lit up all of a sudden, looking at the sobbing Liu family inside, and said with a rare pleasant face: "Xiuyun, you don't need this thing anymore, our family is just your eldest brother who reads, you give it to him, and I won't be able to lose you in the future." ”
Although Liu is not good at words, he is very stubborn, holding the quaint stone inkstone and sobbing, and no one pays attention to it. For her, this is basically the only little thought left for her by her dead husband.
"No, this is something my father left, and no one will give it to me!" Liu Yanran pinched her waist and didn't give in at all.
"Where is your stuff?" Dong Shi couldn't see that it was soft, and his face began to harden as soon as his face changed: "Is this family your decision or me?" He scolded Liu again: "Look at your unlucky appearance, I will take care of you eating and drinking, in the end we are not a family?" What heirlooms? Where is home? I'm home! ”
"This is my father's thing, it wasn't from this family in the first place!" Liu Yanran stopped at the door and didn't let Dong go inside, and Dong was even more annoyed: "Good, good, good!" It's all your father's stuff, so don't stay in my house, go to your father and let him feed you. ”
"Get out, get out of here now!" Dong's angry eyes were shining with black light, stretched out his hand to point at Liu, and scolded in a jumping manner: "You are a mourning star, after killing your mother and your father, you also have a Kefu face, and you can't wait for two days to kill your son." ”
Liu Yuanshan's eyes were dark, and he secretly said that I was also shot while lying down.
Seeing that Dong's temper came up, and he wanted to drive the mother and son out again, Liu couldn't help but hesitate, after all, she still knew the importance of her deceased husband's things compared to her son's life, and even Liu Yanran, who had always been spicy, stopped making a sound.
"Huh!" The uncle saw that the matter was halfway through, and said with a smiling face: "Xiuyun, we are all a family, why bother, I don't think it's as good as this, this Song Yan will be used for me for a few days, and I will return it to you when I come back from this study tour." ”
"Uncle!" Liu Yuanshan coughed twice, walked up to Liu Xiaozhong, pointed at Liu Xiaozhong with an old-fashioned look and said, "You are also a scholar, isn't it kind to do this?" ”
"Shut up!" Dong didn't wait for Liu Xiaozhong to speak, took over the conversation and said fiercely: "You little bastard, how can you speak here, it's your child's turn to interject!" ”
Two days ago, Liu Yuanshan's IQ crushed her strongly, she was holding back and had a seizure, and now that Liu Yuanshan bumped into herself, how could she be polite.
But how did she know that Liu Yuanshan's Tai Chi Kung Fu was first-class, she didn't even look at her, as if there was no Dong family next to her, and continued to say to Liu Xiaozhong: "Uncle, I heard that this children's exam requires five people to marry each other, right?" ”
"Yes!" Liu Xiaozhong nodded, slightly surprised that his nephew actually knew about the imperial examination.
The five people married each other, talking about the regulations that in the children's examination, five innocent children guaranteed each other to sign documents before they could go to the exam, which was the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
"I also heard that in addition to the five of them, the uncle also needs a guarantor, right?" Liu Yuanshan asked again.
The guarantee of the child also means that in addition to the five people who are taking the exam, he must also find a nearby student to vouch for him. Di Sheng is a first-class talent among the talents, and the government issues rice every month, such as Wang Xiucai, the only talent in Liujia Village, who is also a talent.
"Huh!" Liu Xiaozhong held his forehead, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this little nephew's gourd.
"If Wang Xiu only knew that Uncle you were so bullying, I don't know if he would vouch for you again......" This sentence is the core of all Liu Yuanshan's languages.
"This!" Liu Xiaozhong had never considered this problem before, if this matter was really known to Wang Xiu, it was really possible!
Liu Xiaozhong's hand trembled slightly!
Studying is a big deal for him, although he has tried and failed, he always hopes to get ahead by relying on this way, but if Wang Xiucai does not vouch for him, the consequences are really unimaginable!
If Wang Xiucai doesn't vouch for him, he also asks his grandfather to sue his grandmother to find another guarantor, and he has to spend a lot of silver!
"Uh, what's that!" Liu Xiaozhong suddenly smiled very unnaturally and said: "What, I suddenly remembered, I didn't go to take the government exam this time, and whether there is an inkstone or not is not the top priority, forget it, let's talk about it next spring." ”
Liu Xiaozhong left his mother behind and ran away alone.
