Ning Xi knew that he had a cold temperament, so he took the initiative to speak, "It's all the wild vegetables I picked from the mountains last time, the spring bamboo shoots are fresh, you can taste them." ”

He Shiyan sat down and looked at her, "Is the leg injury healing?" ”

Ning Xi nodded and served him a bowl of mushroom and egg soup, "The swelling has decreased." ”

He Shiyan silently handed her a purse, "There is still some money in it, you use it first." ”

"Thank you." Ning Xi accepted the purse, took a bite of the bun and ate it, and asked, "Have you saved the money for the provincial city entrance examination?" ”

He Shiyan picked up the head of the mushroom and tasted it, and the delicious taste instantly swept away, it was so delicious that the whole stomach became warm.

He put down the bowl before saying, "Save, you don't have to worry about this." ”

After eating, He Shiyan saw that her leg injury was not completely healed, and she was not a junior sister, so it was impossible to run to Wang Linzhang again, so he went back to the study to write a policy.

Ning Xi poured out all the money in his purse, plus some pocket money from the original owner, which was enough to buy some raw materials for making soap.

In a few days, it will be the third day of March, and everyone who has been free on this day will go out to visit the spring and drink and feast by the water.

There are more people going out, and there are many people who take the opportunity to set up stalls to do business.

Ning Xi still decided to quietly go to the city, first, to buy raw materials for making soap, and second, to buy some ingredients for stalls, in short, to make a sum of money first, to prepare for the subsequent production of essential oils.

There are quicklime and dough screwdrivers in the city, and the dough screwdrivers are similar to the baking soda ingredients of later generations, and people who don't know think that she is used to make steamed buns, but in fact, this is also the raw material for making soap.

On the third day of March, there are many people who go on an outing, Ning Xi remembers that there is a good place to visit spring in the suburbs of Yong'an City-Liufang Pavilion, and the literati and scholars like to carry out elegant things on both sides of the stream in Liufang Pavilion.

In addition, the peach blossom and apricot trees are planted all over the Liufang Pavilion, the spring breeze blows, and the peach blossoms and apricot blossoms are full of trees, attracting a large number of beauties to come here to visit the spring.

In this way, many stall owners set up their stalls near Liufang Pavilion, and Ning Xi also wanted to make a fortune.

She can make bacon grains, wormwood baba, shepherd's cabbage, egg rice balls, sweet wine osmanthus hair cake, sesame peanuts, banana leaves, she can make these snacks and the cost is not high, and she will make a lot of money if she sells them.

After buying things, Ning Xi went home with a large bag, but he didn't expect to be caught by He Shiyan as soon as he arrived at the door.

He Shiyan glanced at her fixedly, took the things on her back, and said, "Next time you enter the city, you can call me." ”

Then, he added, "I just happened to be going into the city to run errands." ”

"Oh good, thank you."

Ning Xi asked him to put all the things into the stove room, and then raised his eyes to look at him, "Brother Shihe, I have nothing to do here, you can go back and read the book." ”

So as not to arouse his sadness, she decided not to call him senior brother anymore.

Ning Xi sorted the things and arranged them, poured quicklime into the iron pot, and added some water.

The water reacts with quicklime, and immediately there is a sound of sizzling and boiling.

He Shiyan heard the sound in the room, and finally put down the book in his hand and walked towards the kitchen.

"What are you doing?"

Ning Xi looked at the milky white solution in the pot, and immediately put the noodle screwdriver in it and stirred it with an iron rod, and then turned around to congratulate Shiyan.

"Well, make something more powerful than pancreas."

He Shiyan didn't know why, so he only asked, "Is it only in your country?" ”

"Well, so to speak." Ning Xi nodded, the slaked lime in the pot had already reacted with the dough driver, a layer of white solid precipitated at the bottom of the pot, and a layer of transparent liquid floated on top.

Until the reaction was over, she looked back at He Shiyan and asked, "Can you help me?" ”

"What needs to be done?" He Shiyan didn't talk nonsense and tied up his wide sleeves.

Ning Xi raised his chin at the iron pot, "Please help me pour the contents of the pot into this jar." ”

After all, the conditions are limited, and she can only obtain sodium hydroxide of this purity.

Immediately afterwards, she took out a small jar of lard and poured it into a clean pot, and when it was hot, she poured the contents of the jar into the pan and stirred slowly until about a quarter of an hour.

During the static period, Ning Xi took He Shiyan to the study.

"Brother He, can I use your pen and paper?"

He Shiyan stood on the side, with a bit of inquiry in his eyes, "You use it." ”

Ning Xi used the skill of the fragrance buff to draw the "Essential Oil Distiller" and handed the painting to He Shiyan to see.

He Shiyan looked at it and frowned slightly, "You want to build such an appliance?" ”

"Well, though, I don't know if the blacksmith here has the skills." Ning Xi nodded.

"Are you in a hurry?"

"There's no hurry."

"Then I'll help you ask another day."

"Thank you, Brother He!"

Ning Xi and He Shiyan returned to the kitchen, and the contents of the pot had curdled into a milky white solid.

She tried to get some dirt on her hands, then picked up a small bar of soap and washed her hands, which were so clean that there was no excuse at all.

When He Shiyan saw this scene, he knew that this thing was more useful than the pancreas, and he couldn't help asking, "What is this thing called in your country?" ”

"Soap." Ning Xi said with a smile.

It was a success, and the next batch of soap would carve a few molds with patterns and patterns on the stirred things, and add flowers and wild fruits to add flavor and color, which should be more attractive.

He Shiyan looked at her slightly excited smile steadily, "You want to do business?" ”

"Hmm!" Ning Xi nodded heavily, "Brother He, I will work hard to make money, and I won't hold you back." ”

He Shiyan was silent, and left only one sentence before returning to the study, he must be called when he enters the city next time, it is not safe for a little girl to go out.

Ning Xi turned his back and smiled on his lips.

Although his temperament is a little colder, he is still quite soft-hearted.

Ning Xi didn't have any carving skills, and suddenly thought that Uncle Liu next door was a carpenter, so he took two pieces of freshly made soap to learn carving.

If you want to go to Uncle Liu's house, you have to pass by the door of Wang Linzhang's house.

Suddenly, she found a luxurious carriage parked in front of Wang Linzhang's house, and several guards with knives stood outside the house.

Ning Xi glanced inside, raised her eyebrows, and said to the little white cat who was following her, "Is my father looking for the door?" ”

"Meow~~ Host, I don't know about Tongzi, let's take a look with the light screen."

Ning Xi knocked on Uncle Liu's courtyard door and saw Uncle Liu teaching a few grandsons carpentry.

She explained her intentions and gave rare things, and Uncle Liu enthusiastically asked her to sit down and carve wood with a grandson and a classmate.

Ning Xi got started quickly, what she wanted to learn was not complicated, and she watched the light screen while carving after getting started.

She didn't expect Wang Zuo to come to the door in person, in the previous life, he just sent his cronies to visit.

He looked no more than forty years old, dressed in fine clothes, and Wang Linzhang's face was somewhat similar to him.

Wang Linzhang sat in front of the bed, and in the past few days when he went home to live, his whole mood was clouded with a layer of gloom.

Until, he saw the arrival of his biological father.
