The lard was bought back and refined to make oil, and the whole family was busy and carried away.

Except for Cheng Mingyi, everyone else is on par with silver money, as long as they do more and sell more, it is all silver money; Their family has just settled down, and the family has built a house, which can be said to be the old one.

I couldn't find a job to do on other people's land, and I was guilty of going out to work in the winter.

This time there was work to do at home, and there was work to earn money without going out to suffer a great sin, and their hearts were hot, and they were full of vigor when they worked; Learning how to fuse lard fat and lye from Mingyi's hands basically doesn't need Mingyi's hands.

Mingyi was liberated from it.

In order to make soap, Cheng Dazhu and others built a new stove in the utility room next to the large kitchen overnight; There was no iron pot, so I went to Fucheng and bought three iron pots, which were specially used to make soap.

Busy and busy, I saw that the twentieth day of the first month had passed.

Mingyi squatted in the courtyard of the big kitchen and looked at the sky, nibbling on snacks and bored.

Cheng Mingli and Cheng Mingyi were busy making solid soap under the eaves, and they were very worried about their sister's state, "Sister, if you're bored, come over and help your brother make soap." ”

"No, no." Don't move your head and continue to look at the sky.

Cheng Minglian shook his head amusedly, not understanding what was wrong with Mingyi, and teased: "What is Yiyi looking at?" Can a flower grow in the sky? ”

Mingyi moved her neck at this time, glanced back at him, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

"Yiyi wants to go out skating?" Cheng Mingyi asked.

Cheng Mingxin sighed when he heard the skating, "Ice skates are a bit expensive, if we have the silver to buy skates, we don't need to make soap and sell them." ”

Cheng Zhizhi glanced at his younger brother, just like looking at the mentally retarded.

"Brother, what do you think I'm doing?"

"Use your brain, make soap not to buy you skates, but to make a living for your family."

Cheng Mingxin looked indifferent, "If I hadn't pestered my father to buy skates, would Yiyi be able to help me think about the soap business?" ”

"Fourth cousin, people want faces and trees want bark, the sky doesn't know the thickness of the earth, and the earth doesn't know the height of the sky."

"What do you mean?" Cheng Mingxin looked at Mingyi who was talking with a confused expression.

Mingyi looked at the sky again, and didn't want to deal with him at all.

Cheng Mingming and Cheng Mingyi thought about it, but didn't understand the meaning of her words.

Cheng Minglian didn't think so much, so he opened his mouth and came.

"Yiyi, why are you talking so hard?"

"Yiyi can't be scolding me, is she?" Cheng Mingxin's intuition is not good, and he can't say what is bad.

Cheng Mingli couldn't help laughing, and the eyes of the four brothers shifted to him.

Cheng Mingyi asked, "Why is the little cousin laughing?" ”

"Nothing!" Cheng Mingli couldn't help but smile, and the four of them looked at each other, but Cheng Mingzhi was the first to react, "Could it be that the little cousin knows the meaning of Yiyi's words?" ”

Cheng Mingxin hurriedly ran over with the mold box, and asked while prying, "Mingli, what do you mean by etiquette, who wants a face tree to bark, and the sky is thick and high." ”

"I really want to know?" Cheng Mingli was afraid that he would be hit, so he asked uncertainly.

"Then I must want to know, not only I want to, but the three brothers also want to think." As a matter of course, he pulled the three brothers into the water at once.

Cheng Mingli nodded, "Okay, I'll talk to you carefully; Yiyi said that people want to face trees and bark, just to let you not be automatically amorous, even if it is not for skates, sooner or later one day you will come up with soap making methods to make money for your family. As for the sky does not know the thickness of the earth, and the earth does not know the height of the sky, it is for you not to be delusional, this matter is a matter of a few days later and a few days earlier. ”

Don't get the soap thing to do with him.

She won't bother thinking about buying skates for Cheng Mingxin, soap is something she has already thought of; decided to use it for the family, the family must not have much money, and I can't expect them to hunt to feed the family.

Therefore, there must be a profitable livelihood in the family.

Don't seek to do it in the long term, we must see considerable benefits in the short term.

The two siblings have been together for a long time, and what they say to each other has been assimilated; Cheng Mingli was deeply affected, his brain turned fast, and he could quickly react to whatever his sister said.

"Am I delusional? I'm automatically amorous?! ”

"Not really." Cheng Mingli didn't beat around the bush with him, and said bluntly, "My sister has always been organized, and she will definitely think about it before doing it; Do you think she's going to make money for your family because of you? You're thinking too much. ”

Good put.

This time the brothers understood.

Cheng Minglian chuckled, very arrogant, "Fourth cousin, look at you Baibai." ”

"The third cousin's smile is so ugly, why is it in vain; When the soap is sold, my skates will be gone, and I don't care what the purpose of the ceremony is, my skates will be visible anyway. Cheng Mingxin's face was red, and he scolded him.

"Hahaha." Cheng Minglian didn't argue with him at all, and laughed wantonly.

Cheng Mingyi shook his head and smiled, "We still have to think about what Yiyi said, we can't keep up with her thoughts." ”

The rhythm is different, and there is no way to keep up.

Cheng Mingming nodded, just glanced at Cheng Mingli, and felt that the two little brains in this family were smart; Much smarter than them, when they really wanted to scold, none of them could hear that they were scolding.

Mingyi didn't listen to their muttering, and her thoughts had already drifted away.

In the next few days, in addition to eating and sleeping, the big guys kept doing it, and they were about to vomit; It took more than 7,000 bars of soap to be made, and the lard at home was added several times one after another, and it is not until today that it is used up.

"Yiyi, there is so much soap hoarded at home, tomorrow my grandfather will take your father to Fucheng to sell it; You can sell faster, talk to your grandfather. "Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and this east wind is on Mingyi in Cheng Dazhu's opinion.

Mingyi glanced at the soaps piled up in the small kitchen, wrapped in oiled paper one by one, and stacked neatly.

"If you want to sell faster, you can go to restaurants, green buildings, inns, restaurants, and grocery stores." That's all she can say.

Cheng Yuanxi thought for a moment, "There is a large flow of people in these places, as for the Qinglou, forget it; That place is not suitable for us to go, but other places are okay, there are many guests in the restaurant, and the number of cleaning is large; The same is true of inns; The scale of the restaurant is not large enough, the flow of people is okay, and it belongs to the place where ordinary people can eat; The grocery store is complicated to buy and sell, so you can talk to the boss to see if we can cooperate with the boss. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone pondered.

There are more than a dozen grocery stores in the four areas of the southeast, northwest and northwest of the entire prefecture.

"Then it can't be just me and the third child, the eldest and the second, Mingyi and Wise also go; Go to a few more places that Mingyi said, Mingyi is wise, you each bring a hundred pieces of soap and carry it away, and ask while selling. ”

Cheng Dazhu pulled the soap at home how to transport, "We have a board car at home, the eldest and the second and third are one person, and one person pushes the other car; It is better to sell the soap piled up at home as soon as possible, and sell as much as you can on the big market. ”

The target is on the few ideas provided by Mingyi, and that is the big head.
