In those years, what Wang Dazhi did to Liu Wan, he was already an adult, of course he could see it clearly.

It's just that Liu Wan didn't resist at that time, so he could only be in a hurry.

In other words, if Wang Dazhi beat Liu Wan at that time, if Liu Wan wanted to resist, he would definitely help Liu Wan.

Wang Xiao said these words to Liu Wan, for fear that her scars would be revealed.

Liu Wan saw him open his mouth, but he didn't say anything, and smiled indifferently.

However, the mother and son did not expect that Wu Hui was about to come out to feed the chickens, but they heard what they thought was a private conversation.

Wu Hui had mixed feelings in her heart, her eyes were hot, she was afraid that tears would fall, so she quickly suppressed her emotions, or she wanted to cry again.

But on the one hand, it is my own brother, and on the other hand, it is my in-law's family who regards myself as my own daughter, how to choose?

Wu Hui thought that her mother was holding her hand before she died of illness and asked her to take care of her younger brother, and she solemnly agreed, Wu Hui had a hard time making a choice in her heart.

Liu Wan and Wang Xiao burned a bundle of plant ashes.

Wang Xiao said puzzledly: "Mother, there are still ashes from washing clothes at home, why do you burn so much?" ”

"Oh, I'm going to make soap now." Liu Wan said.

"Soap? What do you mean? ”

"You work, you sweat a lot every day, and your clothes are stained with body oil, and you wash them with ordinary plant ash, and if you don't hit them repeatedly, your clothes won't be clean.

I smell your clothes, and they smell greasy. ”

Wang Xiao smiled when he heard this, touched the back of his neck embarrassedly, and said:

"Mother, it's really like this, it's really hard to wash clothes."

Liu Wan usually walks around the market and does not find soap as a daily necessities, so everyone washes clothes with soap horns or plant ash directly.

It's not difficult to make soap, Liu Wan has seen tutorials on online videos before, mainly because they are easy to learn, she also watched the video and made handmade soap, essential oil soap and other handmade soaps, in addition to her own use, she also gave them to her friends as a kind of fun.

I didn't expect that the fun of that time has now become a survival skill.

In fact, the most important thing is that soap is also an important tool for cleaning the body, there are many bacteria on the surface of the human body, and if you don't clean it up every day, the chance of getting sick will increase greatly.

Although there is another way, which is to take off your clothes and bask in the sun, how many people in life can do it?

After Liu Wan stayed here for a while, after initially solving the existential crisis, she began to think about improving the quality of life.

If she is sick and lacks medical treatment, the fatality rate will be greatly increased, and she doesn't want to die in unhygienic things just after she can eat enough.

So making soap has also become a priority.

The Book of Rites. The Inner Rules read: "The crown is dirty, and the ash is clean." It shows that the ancients mainly used plant ash for cleaning.

After the plant ash is burned, Liu Wan puts about 300 grams of plant ash in a bucket, and then soaks it in 700 grams of water, and then she takes a stick and stirs it vigorously, stirring the plant ash and water evenly.

After that, boil the water in a pot for 10 minutes, and then let it sit overnight.

Wang Xiao helped Liu Wan to light the fire, and then went to be busy with the cowshed.

The cowshed is located about 20 miles away from the chicken and duck pen.

Building a cowshed is not difficult, it is all manual work.

After digging out the deep pits at the four corners, the sharpened ends of the stakes are smashed into the ground, filled with soil, and fixed with stones.

Then, using this as a framework, nailing beams, covering the grass roof, and using straw mats around the cowshed to block the wind from all sides, a simple and common cowshed in the countryside was ready.

The Wang brothers worked together, the speed was very fast, Wang Jing's carpentry workshop had not yet started, Xie Mingguang wanted to learn carpenters, so he came to Wang's house from time to time, and saw that they were busy with the cowshed, and they also started to work.

At night, the precipitated plant ash clarifies the supernatant, about 200 grams, which is a highly pure lye and an important element in making soap.

In this lye, Liu Wan added an appropriate amount of lard, and then heated it, the lard melted, and fused with the original lye.

At this time, continue to heat, stirring constantly, let the liquid ingredients inside evaporate, and then add the appropriate amount of salt to let it harden.

At this time, the yellow paste in the pot was like thick dough, so Liu Wan stopped the fire and poured the paste into the round mold she asked Wang Jing to make.

Now she doesn't have the essential oil of flowers, otherwise she can make soap.

Wang Lian was on the side, watching her mother make soap with relish.

Although Liu Wan was talking about making soap, Wang Lian didn't know what soap was, and only thought that Liu Wan's process of making soap was quite interesting.

When she saw Liu Wan put the white lard into the alkaline water, Wang Lian was really puzzled and said:

"Mother, isn't lard good for fried rice and stir-fried vegetables? How to put it in the ashes, what a pity! ”

Liu Wan smiled and said: "This is the key to making soap, you read it carefully, learn it carefully, and you can make it yourself in the future." ”

Wang Lian's wound grew new flesh, but because it was the re-bursting of the old wound, it caused her a certain psychological shadow, so that she didn't dare to stride forward when she walked.

Wang Lian hugged Liu Wan's leg and said, "Mother, will my wound crack open again and again in the future?" ”

"No, silly boy, this time it's because you fell to the ground and just scratched the wound."

Liu Wan comforted.

was calmly encouraged by Liu Wan, and Wang Lian was not so afraid.

Just as some people have a phobia of intensification and some people have a phobia of caves, to overcome these fears, it is important to have strong encouragement from people around you.

Wang Lian squatted beside Liu Wan with relish, watched her pour the paste into the mold, and asked:

"Mother, that's it?"

"Yes, then when we pick flowers and refine essential oils, we will make soap for bathing, which can be used in the bath in the future.

"That's great. But, mother, this fat lard paste can really wash clothes? ”

Wang Lian still didn't believe it.

Liu Wan asked her to get one of Wang Jing's dirty clothes, and she tried it on the spot.

What Wang Lian brought was the clothes that Wang Jing changed last night, which had not been washed yet, and the neck of the clothes was greasy.

Wang Jing walked over by himself, just when he saw it, his face turned red, and said:

"Mother, how can you expose my dirty clothes in broad daylight? I took it back and washed it myself. ”

"No, no, you see it's clean with this newly made soap."

Liu Wan soaked Wang Jing's dirty clothes in water, then wiped soap on the collar, and gently rubbed it with her hand, causing white dense bubbles, and sure enough, the greasy dirt on the neck disappeared at once.

After putting it in the water and scrubbing it a few times, the water in the basin is black.

Wang Jing's face turned even redder.
