"Ahem, what does this smell like?" The woman who had fallen asleep on the bed had woken up at some point, staring in amazement at the steaming food on the table.

When the child heard the cough, his eyes lit up, and he was finally willing to take his eyes off the seemingly delicious meal to his mother, and his tone was well-behaved and surprised, "Mother, are you awake?" ”

The girl was more weighty, but the corners of her mouth were uncontrollably hooked, and her eyes looked straight at her mother on the bed.

Huang Zhu also put down his chopsticks excitedly, came to the front of his wife, and helped the woman sit up, "Wife, how do you feel?" We're eating, are you hungry? Would you like to eat something now? ”

The woman, who was Wang Lu, sniffed the smell of cumin, which was not very obvious in the air, but once she caught it, it was very clear and clear, and nodded her head.

Huang Zhu was overjoyed, although his wife had woken up once this morning, but he didn't seem to have any appetite, he only ate a few words hastily, but now he took the initiative to eat, and it seems that he is really recovering well.

He quickly returned to the table, filled a bowl of rice, and stretched out his two chopsticks towards the dish, intending to bring the food to his wife and let her enjoy, but was stopped by Wang Lu, "No, I'll just come down and eat by myself, so as not to stain the bed and have nowhere to sleep at night." ”

Hearing this, a trace of grief flashed in Huang Zhu's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

Wang Lu took her daughter's hand and slowly walked to the table and sat down, took a deep breath, her eyes were slightly bright, and the first chopsticks picked up the strongest smell of capers and put them in her mouth, and suddenly, the rich smell of cumin and pepper exploded in her mouth.

"The smell!" It's really pepper and cumin! The woman was so shocked that she almost couldn't hold her chopsticks.

As a child of a big family, she was also fortunate to have eaten pepper and cumin, but there were few opportunities.

And with pepper and cumin, the first lychee produced on the lychee trees, which are only supplied to the royal family every year, is used as the base color, and is dotted with a little bit of pepper crumbs.

As soon as the lychee is in the mouth, it turns into a puddle of honey water, and after the sweetness, a little bit of pepper explodes in the mouth, and the tip of the tongue is filled with an indescribable pungent and spicy taste, which makes people want to stop.

But unfortunately, these ingredients are all available but not sought, and she only ate them once and never saw them again. Later, the family gradually declined, and the supreme delicacy was no longer visible.

Wang Lu, who thought that after the family fell, she would never be able to eat pepper again, but at this moment she clenched her hands excitedly.

She never expected that after she became an official slave and was bought, the first dish she ate was pepper!

It's still the background color of the first piece of beans, and it's a big plate as soon as it's done, what kind of family is it, and how to use pepper extravagantly! Who is it who bought your own!

Wang Lu's excitement and excitement, Xue Rou didn't know, she stood and stared at Lu Yi for a walk.

At lunch, Lu Yi ate too much, and even his stomach bulged, but the little guy just wanted to go back to sleep, how could this work?

Xue Rou, a health expert, immediately disagreed, and dragged people to walk around the small courtyard a few times, and looked at the bamboo plantain and wood incense.

After a few laps, Lu Yi threw himself into the recliner under the begonia tree in distress, pitiful: "Good sister, just spare me!" ”

Okay, good sister? Xue Rou's ears moved, and she couldn't speak clearly, "Blind, what are you shouting about?" Don't think you'll be lazy by calling my sister! ”

What you say is righteous words, and if you have the ability, don't be red at the tips of your ears! Strong self-control, Ah Qi, who only ate seven points full and hugged his arms coldly, sneered.

But Lu Yi made up his mind to pretend to be dead, hearing this, he didn't move, his eyes were closed, as if he was asleep, if it weren't for the thin eyelids, the gurgling of the eyes, Xue Rou might have really believed it.

But now it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, as the saying goes: You can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep, Xue Rou glanced at Lu Yi who was lying like a corpse, and sighed silently.

Immediately found a good reason for Xiao Fulang in his heart: spring is sleepy, autumn is lacking, summer is weak, winter is just sleeping, at the moment is full of wine and food, the sun is shining, isn't it the time to sleep?

Thinking like this, his whole body was light, and he no longer forced him at the moment, and went to make it himself. Of course, she's not messing around, she's preparing to make soap.

Mix some plant ash from the bottom of the pot, put it in the ceramic pot and add a little more water, and keep heating and stirring to make the potassium salt in it fully resolved.

However, while stirring, Xue Rou noticed that Lu Yi, who was talking about lying on the chaise longue for a rest, quietly ran over and squatted behind her, her neck crooked like a crooked neck tree, and the two peach blossom eyes were round and glowing with curiosity.

Xue Rou pretended not to see it, and got busy with herself.

While the temperature was still hot, I went to the house to find an unused burlap garment, and poured boiling water and plant ash into the garment for a filter.

The holes on the clothes were a little bigger, and there was still some residue after the first filtration, Xue Rou folded them together with two pieces of cloth and filtered them again several times, and finally got a relatively clear pale yellow water reduction.

Next, the pale yellow alkaline water should be re-evaporated and filtered to obtain soda ash, but Xue Rou didn't like to bother, so she directly poured lard into the still pure alkaline water, continued to heat it and stirred it constantly.

This process was a bit long, so long that Lu Yi yawned, and really ran to sleep under the begonia tree, and even Ah Qi, who had always been patient, felt bored and went back to his room, no longer staring at the side to observe.

Time passed little by little, but the things in the pot did not change at all, and just when Xue Rou thought that her experiment had failed, the liquid in the pot finally began to become a little sticky.

Xue Rou was instantly overjoyed, stirred vigorously again, changed her left hand to her right hand, and finally with her unremitting efforts, slowly, the soap liquid became semi-solid.

In the final finishing stage, Xue Rou went to the kitchen to get some salt, put it in and stirred it, then poured it on a plate, and stacked it into a square with a homemade wooden spoon, and the simple version of the soap was ready.

"What is this? Eat? ”

Ah Qi, who was getting more and more elusive, looked at the weird and slimy ball on the plate, and couldn't help but ask, the cute baby voice sounded sweet, which didn't match her eyebrows that were about to wrinkle into a cross at all.

"No, I'm making good things." Xue Rou flicked her sleeves and was arrogant, "Sister, I thought of a good idea to make a fortune again, as long as soap can be made, we will be rich!" ”

Ah Qi was silent for a while, and his tone was obscure, "Are you sure you make soap?" ”

"Of course." Xue Rou nodded as a matter of course, and only after answering did she realize that it was wrong, and said in surprise: "You actually know soap?" ”
