Chapter 95

Later, there was no work at home, so Lin Baoru first took Cairu to pinch more than 20 new soap beans to dry, and then fiddled with the newly bought noodles in the house.

She has a lot of recipes in her head, but there are too many things missing at the moment, and there are no spices at all, so she can only start making new soap beans from the few things she has at hand.

Originally, she wanted to make handmade soap by herself. It's just that later, considering that there is only a soap base and a lack of skin care ingredients, handmade soap can only be used for washing clothes and removing stains, which makes the market much narrower.

Moreover, there are only two iron pots in her house now, which are not suitable for boiling soap. After thinking about it, she finally decided to use the ancient method to make bath beans that were more acceptable to the ancients.

When you have more money on hand in the future, you can add the glycerin produced when you buy spices and fat soap, so that you can make your own soap beans to a higher level.

Lin Baoru thought about it, and at the same time, according to the recipe described by the teacher of the previous elective course, she mixed white bean flour, pig pancreas, white flour, and egg white together, and added some alkaline water that had been boiled earlier to it from time to time.

It wasn't until the prepared paste looked very delicate that she was satisfied with dividing the paste into several bowls and carefully drying it on the windowsill.

Cai Ru and Cai He, who were watching on the side, saw their eldest sister with a serious face, and they also held their breath and squatted on the side cautiously to watch.

In fact, it is not difficult to make this simple soap bean, but the difficult thing is that now she is afraid that she will make a mistake and waste something. But when it came to doing it, she was still happy in her heart. Just looking at the soap blocks hanging in the window, it was like seeing strings of copper plates that kept falling into the purse.

"Eldest sister, is that all it take?" Cai Ru asked curiously.

On the side, Caihe also tiptoed, constantly looking at a few small pieces in the bowl on the windowsill.

Lin Baoru knocked on the little heads of the two of them with a smile and said, "It's done!" ”

After the two of them cheered, she couldn't help but laugh and ordered: "You go and ask your mother and Xiaoshan to come back for dinner, and the eldest sister will scramble you a green onion egg." ”

As soon as they heard that there was something delicious again, the two little ones almost jumped up, and happily answered the sound and went out of the door.

The rice is also hearty, because there are a lot of seasonings at home today, so Lin Baoru not only roasted eggs, but also stir-fried spicy cabbage.

A few days ago, they ate dumplings for a few days in a row, and she would boil some bone broth for everyone to nourish their bodies every day, so today I want to eat some refreshing side dishes. It's just that at this time, when you talk about cucumbers and greens, there are not many radishes.

So, Lin Baoru simply plucked a few shallots growing randomly under the corner, washed them, chopped them into minced pieces and put them in a bowl.

While picking up shallots, she thought that when she could grow vegetables in spring, she must discuss with her mother that this piece of land should be opened to make a vegetable patch. In a good place, it is really a waste to plant some shallots and leeks so indiscriminately.

If you can, you can also move two peach trees and pear trees in the front and back corners of the house, at least in the summer, a few small ones can be rare. In the field, after the wheat harvest is finished, she has to persuade the Wang family to contract out the field, and in the future, a thin person like her will not be thinking about the farm work in the field day and night.

Lin Baoru was thinking about these things in her heart, but the action of chopping chili peppers in her hands did not slow down at all. It wasn't until a handful of dried chili peppers on a board were cut and pressed into small pieces by her that she carefully put them into a bowl.

The matter of fried chili oil is really a piece of cake for her, who liked to watch a small video in her previous life and paid special attention to several food anchors.

In fact, when frying chili oil, the most feared thing is to fry the chili peppers. Once it is pasted, no matter how good the oil is, it will be bitter. So after she put the chili powder into the bowl, she went into the house and poured a little white wine into it and stirred it a few times, and only after the chili powder was all stained with wine did she pour some rapeseed oil into the pot and burn it.

The fire in the stove was a little hot, but in a few moments, the rapeseed oil was steaming. Lin Baoru didn't dare to delay, so she hurriedly threw some star anise and shallots into it to fry, and the hot oil instantly cooked the fragrance.

Smelling the smell of the bubbling ingredients fried in oil, she scooped the hot oil three times with a spoon and poured it into the chili powder. With a few stinging sounds, white gas came out, and the whole yard was filled with a fragrant and spicy smell.

Lin Baoru stirred the poured chili oil, feeling a little pity, if there were some bean skin and lotus root at home at this time, she could still make some spicy snacks. No matter how bad it is, you can learn from what other heroines wrote, marinating a few spicy chicken feet and duck necks.

It's a pity that after crossing by herself, she knew where there were so many chicken feet and duck necks that others didn't want. It doesn't matter if it's in a restaurant, a roast duck shop, or a farmer's house slaughtering chickens and ducks, the chicken feet and duck neck are all durable meat.

Even in some restaurants, only chicken and duck are used for cooking, and the rest of the chicken feet and duck neck will be divided between the cook and the guy early.

Lin Baoru has a habit of eating spicy shallots, in addition to putting chili oil and salt, she likes to put enough vinegar in it. When you eat it, it is both enjoyable and spicy, and you don't feel tired.

After finishing her favorite side dishes, she hummed a little song and then fried the shallots and eggs with the remaining hot oil in the pot. There is mixed with minced leeks and fried some dried radishes that have been soaked at home.

When Wang came back with a few small ones, the brown rice cooked in the cauldron was also cooked. Because the fire burned early today, Lin Baoru also specially steamed two large bowls of white rice for Cairu Caihe and Xiaoshan.

The steaming meal was still in the pot, and it made the little mountain belly gurgle after playing for a while.

Lin Baoru looked at Xiaoshan and covered her stomach and called out sweetly to the eldest sister, and tapped his head funny.

"You go and hand out chopsticks, let's get ready for dinner." After the New Year, Xiaoshan, who was obviously bigger, hurriedly and happily entered the house with Wang. However, the kang head was still too high for him, and even if he jumped up, he didn't get up.

So the little man could only pout and look at the mother behind him, and the Wang family laughed again.

Lin Baoru didn't care about Xiaoshan's eagerness to work, turned her head and shouted that Cairu and Caihe came over to serve the food, and took the fragrant chili oil that she fried herself back to the house.

Cairu and Caihe heard the eldest sister assign work, and they both ran over with a smile, not like they were going to work, but like they were here to eat candy.

Cairu and Caihe, who had asked about the aroma of rice early, might as well have two bowls of white flower rice in addition to brown rice in the pot, so they were extra cherished and careful when serving. Although they knew that they had rice at home, it was the first time that such fine rice had been served.

After the sister and the sisters picked up all the food into the house, Lin Baoru divided the two bowls of white rice into three portions, no more and no less, and added most of the bowls to the bowls of Cairu and Xiaoshan. And what she was in front of Wang was still yellowed brown rice.

Wang frowned slightly, looked at her reproachfully and said, "Why don't you steam more white rice?" Now that you are in charge of your family, you should eat better. ”

Lin Baoru smiled nonchalantly, and said while helping the little mountain picket vegetables in her arms: "I'm not a child anymore, what do you do with such fine food." Brown rice doesn't look good, but it tastes delicious. After speaking, she deliberately blew up her eyes and said to Wang, "Besides, I'm going to get married in July, and if I eat too fine and become a fat girl, it won't look good." ”

Wang knew in her heart that her daughter's idea was right, as long as she thought about it, she would say it herself, and she could have 10,000 sets of rhetoric to deal with. So, Wang could only sigh distressedly, and then ruthlessly put the eggs on the plate and sandwiched several pieces for his own Baoru.

The hot meal made the humble and harmonious family eat very comfortably. Xu is a big deal about the 500 Wen Zhuang household money, so the Wang family also rarely talked about a lot of idle things in the village. Even the initial happy things between her and Lin Lao Er were turned out and talked aside.

Since Lin Baoru's upgraded version of soap beans was made, life at home seems to have suddenly gone smoothly.

No, early in the morning of the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Xianglang came to Taoxi Village to shout and sell goods.

When it was almost noon, he saw that the maltose he had brought with him was almost as good as the trick he had sold, so he took the burden and went to some of the houses where he asked him to sell needlework.

After such a circle, he also happily received a lot of purses and strings, as well as a few newly embroidered pillowcases.

After finishing all this work, he went to Grandpa Li's house with his feet, helped people clean up the yard, and filled the water tank. Later, he saw that there was no work in the courtyard, so he informed Grandpa Li and walked to Lin Baoru's house.

He came back to get soap beans. Since the last episode got the sweetness, he can't wait to quickly take all the items he has set up and sell them.

After all, when he sells soap beans, he sells more quickly and more with his other belongings. But yesterday, when he was selling, because he lacked a unique shouting head, he didn't attract many people to look around.

Don't look at just a few personal onlookers, for him, there are many fewer buyers.

Yesterday, there were also people who bought new soap beans in the restaurant where they lived in the town, and mentioned to the neighbors that the Lin family soap beans he sold were much better than those in the Shunlai grocery store, so after he went home, there were still a few people who had bought in Shunlai and came to his house to inquire.

There were even a few sellers who had not dealt with him before, and they even came to the door with wine and meat to make peace with him. To put it bluntly, don't you just want to get to the bottom of it?

However, he was strict-mouthed, and he didn't reveal Lin Baoru's story in the end. He only said that if those sellers wanted to sell, he could help get the goods, but he had to find a time to ask the owner who made soap beans.

He said it vaguely, but it was inaudible. It's like the threshold for making soap beans is very high. The hearts of the few sellers who fell were up and down, calling out for the old brother and the old brother.

Therefore, after pondering for a night, he felt that this business should be struck while the iron was hot, and he must not let others take the lead. No, early this morning, he rushed over, thinking about discussing with Lin Baoru about collecting soap beans.
