Chapter 3 The Soap Project

I'll go!

Seeing such a bullying scene, Liu Yuanshan couldn't help it at that time, and was about to stand up as soon as he mentioned his pants, but he was pulled by his sister Liu Yanran, and kept giving him a look. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Yuanshan could only hold back and look at the situation before making further plans.

After the old lady got angry, she ignored anyone, lifted her bowl and drank a bowl of thick porridge like a wind, and then picked up a rice ball from the bamboo basket under the envious eyes of her grandson and daughter-in-law, and began to munch on it as if no one was around.

The rest of the people ate separately, and the remaining two rice group uncles and second uncles each had one, and the children and daughters-in-law could only drink porridge to satisfy their hunger. Fortunately, the yellow and white rice porridge is very thick, and there are small pickles, although there is a difference from the breakfast in his previous life, Liu Yuanshan still eats with relish.

All natural food, good!

After eating, Liu was busy cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks and brushing the pots, Dong, the eldest daughter-in-law Guo, and the second daughter-in-law Ding patted their butts and left, some returned to their rooms, and some went out to visit the door.

In early autumn, the crops in the field are waiting to ripen, and there is no need to take care of them, which is a rare leisure time.

After finishing brushing the pot, Liu collected a large pile of dirty clothes from the old lady and the east and west rooms, packed them together in large cloth bags, and then dragged them to the pond outside the courtyard gate.

Washing clothes and cooking are the most common tasks that Liu usually does.

Liu Yanran used a clay pot to bring out a pot full of plant ash from the bottom of the pot, and followed Liu's to help wash clothes, Liu Yuanshan was not familiar with it and did not dare to go out, so he did his own performance, and followed his mother and sister out like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child of the age and came to the pond.

Of course, he didn't come here to help with the laundry, but to extract more information about the world from the mouth of this cheap old mother and cheap old lady.

"Mother!" Liu Yuanshan thought of the dispute just now at breakfast, and asked, "My grandmother usually treats you like this?" ”

"yes!" Before Liu could speak, Liu Yanran took over the conversation and said: "Just like our mother owes her, every day except scolding or scolding, everything is wrong." ”

"That's too bullying!" Liu Yuanshan looked at Liu and said, "Mother, when I grow up, oh no, when I have the opportunity, watch me give you anger." ”

"What's not angry, she's an old man, just say a few words, anyway, a piece of meat is indispensable!" Liu's temperament is cowardly, and she feels that it is very wrong to go against her mother.

"That's not good, how can I let her be bullied casually, you wait, now that I'm here, I won't let you two be bullied again!" After thinking for a while, he said, "I still want my mother and sister to live a good life." ”

"What's a good day?" Liu Yanran quipped.

"What's a good day, huh...... There is wine and meat, no need to work! Liu Yuanshan said with a smile.

"You kid!" Liu said: "We are all croppers, how can we eat if we don't work!" ”

Liu smiled warmly, with a touch of bitterness in his heart, but there was no trace of relief. Liu Yanran next to her was too concerned about her younger brother, looked at Liu and said, "Mother, my brother is not well yet, why don't I ask my grandmother for money and treat my brother?" ”

"Don't!" Liu Yuanshan waved his hand: "My illness is much better, sister, don't worry, my memory will be better." After saying that, he stood up and jumped and jumped to prove that he was fine.

Deep down, I can't accept the fact that the woman in front of me, who is not a few years older than myself in my previous life, is my own mother in this time and space, but her maternal love from the bottom of her heart still touches Liu Yuanshan a lot.

He knew best that he was not sick, so naturally he couldn't let the two of them ask the Dong family for money for him, the Dong family, he had to scold for a long time if he ate more food, although Liu Yuanshan didn't know the consequences of the money in front of her, but it was conceivable.

"Sister!" Liu Yuanshan shouted awkwardly, deliberately diverting Liu Yanran's attention, pointing to the gray ash and asking, "What are you doing with this thing?" ”

"Hehe, look at your little brain, you really forgot everything." Liu Yanran looked at him with pity, stretched out her hand and pinched his face, and said, "Wash the clothes, the clothes that have been washed by the ashes at the bottom of the pot are very clean." ”

Wash your clothes with ash at the bottom of the pot!

Liu Yuanshan looked at a big stick next to Liu, and almost understood, this is really a common laundry method used by ancient people. In ancient times, people washed clothes, either with soap horn or ash at the bottom of the pot, during which they were accompanied by the whipping of a big stick, and they could indeed wash the clothes cleanly.

Liu Yuanshan has done chemical industry and knows that alkaline things generally have decontamination functions, and plant ash is rich in potassium carbonate, which is a strong alkaline and weak salt, which is weakly alkaline after hydrolysis in water, so it has some decontamination functions.

However, if you really want to have a strong decontamination ability, you still need a real alkali to work, not a weak alkali.

I remember that in the modern society in my previous life, my sister gave birth to a child, and I was afraid that the laundry soap in the store would hurt the baby after washing the clothes, so he searched the Internet in every possible way, and finally made a safe and easy-to-use handmade laundry soap.

Liu Yuanshan decided to make a few pieces for Liu Shi to use, after all, when washing clothes with laundry soap, you don't need to whip with a big stick, you can easily remove dirt and save energy, otherwise a bowl of porridge every morning will be wasted on the mallet.

"Sister, the bottom ash of this pot is not easy to use, I'll get you something useful to wash your clothes when I go back!" Liu Yuanshan smiled mysteriously, and his mind had already begun to conceive.

It is indeed much more difficult to make handmade laundry soap in such a primitive place than in modern society. First of all, the main material for making handmade soap is called caustic soda, which is chemically called sodium hydroxide, which is a strong alkali, but this thing is a chemical product of the real industrial society, and there is no natural state.

To make soap, make caustic soda first!

It's not that an agricultural society can't use the soil method to make caustic soda, but, how to say it, the key is that Lao Tzu seems to have forgotten how to use the soil method to make it!

Liu Yuanshan touched his head, and for the first time felt that he was a little overpowered.
