Chapter 48 Goat's Milk Soap
Qi Ling thought for a while, "If you think the goat's milk is fishy, you can ask Aunt Zhao to help you put some jasmine and rock sugar when you cook it, so that there will be no taste when you drink it." ”
"Okay, I'll ask my mother to help me cook a bowl of drink every day, and then insist on using it to bathe every day." The peach blossom is high-spirited and full of motivation.
Her appearance made Qi Ling feel a little inspired again, why didn't she make some milk soap?
In her previous life, she liked to make her own handmade soap, which can add a variety of essential oils that are beneficial to the skin, or milk and the like, to wash her face and body, which can not only wash her face very cleanly, but also have some whitening skin care effects.
In the dynasty that Qi Ling came to, there was no such thing as soap, and most of the poor people washed their hair and bathed with a plant called a soaphorn.
In autumn, people take the ripe honey locusts and use them after they are dried, and when they use them, they take the dried honey locusts to boil water, and then wash their hair with boiled water, which can be said to be a natural "shampoo", but this smell is not too good, and there are some pungent smells.
There are even people who take the leftover plant ash from the stove, although it can be washed very cleanly, but the washed hair or skin will have a very obscure feeling.
In addition, there are all kinds of methods, such as washing rice water, hibiscus leaves, and fat beads, and it can be said that the vast number of working people have given full play to their wisdom in this regard, and they can use whatever they can.
And the rich will be a little better, using bath beans, bath beans are equivalent to a kind of soap prototype, it is black bean flour or other bean noodles, which is mixed with expensive spices, it is made, but because of the high price, naturally only in the rich only see the circulation.
Qi Ling and Peach Blossom used hibiscus leaves for bathing today, which smelled a refreshing and fragrant feeling, refreshing people's hearts.
It is also very convenient to use, there is a hibiscus tree in the peach blossom home, when you want to take a bath, you will wash the fresh hibiscus leaves, cut them into pieces, and then wrap them in a muslin cloth, put them in the water and rub them vigorously, you can use a very delicate foam, it is very convenient to wash your hair and take a bath.
However, this kind of hair and skin can only be washed, but it has no moisturizing effect at all.
If you really make soap, this is much bigger than the rouge gouache market!
Because a woman's box of rouge gouache can be used for a long time, but toiletries such as bath beans will be used up in a month, plus soap can not only be used by women, but also by the whole family, the demand is simply amazing.
Qi Ling's mind was thinking quickly, and Peach Blossom saw that she didn't speak for a long time, thinking that she was a little tired.
"Sister Ling, I see that we are almost done, so let's hurry up and put on our clothes, lest the water be cold and cold for a while."
Qi Ling came back to his senses and found that the water in the bath bucket was indeed slightly cold, and the two of them each took a clean handkerchief and dried their hair, and began to dress.
Qi Ling picked up the mess of clothes that Gu Jinfeng had sent to him, and when he saw that there seemed to be something wrapped in the skirt, it was a mess, so he was curious and opened it to take a look.
Just by looking at it, Qi Ling's face turned red, and Gu Jinfeng actually took a belly pocket for himself!
No wonder his face was so unnatural when he came to deliver clothes, this is a woman's most intimate underwear!
Qi Ling took advantage of Peach Blossom's inattention, quickly wiped off the water on his body, and quickly put on his clothes, if Peach Blossom knew about it, he would make fun of her again.
When the two of them got dressed and came out, they dried their hair in the sun.
When she washed her hair just now, Qi Ling wanted to complain, her hair is now scattered and has reached her waist, it can be said that her long hair is waist-high, it looks good, but it is inconvenient to clean up!
Just like now, you can't dry your hair without half a day, no wonder ancient people only washed it after a long time, it turned out to be so troublesome.
Peach Blossom took a wooden comb to help Qi Ling comb his hair, Qi Ling's hair was black and shiny, which was very enviable.
Peach Blossom thought about it and felt that Sister Ling could only be said to be naturally beautiful, after all, she didn't usually take care of her hair.
"By the way, Peach Blossom, the next time you cook goat's milk, can you bring me some fresh ones, I want to use them to make something."
Qi Ling wanted to make a small amount of milk soap first and see if it could be made.
Peach Blossom disagreed: "Okay, what a big deal is this, no one drinks the usual goat milk in my family, and my mother uses it to water the ground." ”
To water the ground? Aunt Zhao is really innovative!
In the end, seeing that the hair of the two had not dried for a long time, Qi Ling simply tied two braids for Peach Blossom and himself, which was also neat.
Peach Blossom touched her two braids, feeling very novel, "Sister Ling, I haven't seen anyone comb their hair like this, I think it's quite good-looking." ”
Qi Ling originally felt that he had some bad taste, the two of them were originally two young girls, but they tied two braids, and instantly became the "Xiaofang" of the village, but I didn't expect Peach Blossom to think it was not bad.
What is "Xiao Fang"?
Qi Ling still remembers the song that was sung all over the street when he was a child: there was a girl named Xiaofang in the village, who was good-looking and kind, with a pair of beautiful big eyes and thick and long braids......
But after hearing what Peach Blossom said, Qi Ling comforted himself, "Xiaofang" is "Xiaofang", after all, the song also says that Xiaofang is "good-looking and kind".
At this time, Aunt Zhao had just entered the courtyard and saw Qi Ling and Taohua sitting on a stool drying their hair, and they didn't know how to comb their hair, and they felt very pure and lovely.
"You two have a pretty good comb in your hair, but don't stay here, your Uncle Zhao has cooked a meal, hurry up and have lunch."
Hearing that Aunt Zhao also felt that her hairstyle was very good-looking, Qi Ling could only accept the reality that Xiao Fang's hairstyle was very popular.
After Uncle Zhao cooked just now, Gu Jinfeng saw that the two of them had to go home to cook another meal, so he simply left their family to eat together.
So Aunt Zhao went home and asked the two of them to go to Gu Jinfeng's house for dinner together.
Qi Ling took the food that Aunt Zhao specially left for him, smelled the aroma, and felt that his stomach began to growl.
Today, Uncle Zhao made stewed chicken with potatoes, but there are more potatoes and less chicken, because you can't eat braised pork every day, which is too luxurious for the villagers.
But the people who came to help were still very satisfied, and in their opinion, even if there was more meat and less meat, as long as they could eat it in their mouths, it was good.
Instead of steaming rice, a large pot of steamed buns was steamed, and each man could get two or three, and Qi Ling saw that many of them had left one for their families.
