Chapter 11: I Have Seen the Master

"Brother Yi'er, what are you doing?"

Shen Youwei's mouth opened slightly, her face full of surprise.

"I make a few bars of soap, this summer, without soap, I really can't wash off the greasy on my body."

Yun Yi answered as a matter of course, but Shen Youwei was even more puzzled.

What is soap?

Is it a rare thing that Yi Ge'er saw in the city today?

Although Shen Youwei felt sorry for the lard, when she saw Yunyi's sweaty appearance, she still stepped forward quickly and helped light the fire.

After Yunyi poured the lye water into the lard, he began to stir non-stop, until it was evenly mixed, and then he stopped the movement in his hand.

Let Shen Youwei put out the fire, Yunyi poured the boiled soap into the bamboo tube one by one and waited for it to solidify, and then he had to wipe the sweat on his forehead.

"It's finally done, and it's estimated that it will be solidified by tomorrow morning."

"Brother Yi'er, can you eat this thing?"

Shen Youwei stared at the bamboo tube with curiosity on her face, and asked Yunyi with some uncertainty.

"You can't eat this thing, if you don't eat it, it will kill you."

Yunyi was worried that the little girl would feel sorry for the lard, and then secretly took the soap to cook, so she hurriedly explained to her the role of the soap.

"Can lard be used to wash clothes?"

After listening to Yunyi's explanation, Shen Youwei looked incredulous.

Brother Yi only cares about studying on weekdays, so he shouldn't have been deceived, right?

It's a shame that good lard is wasted like this.

The oil lamp in the kitchen was dim and smoky, and Yun Yi didn't notice Shen Youwei's expression.

He moved the bamboo tube filled with soap to the corner of the wall and placed it, and then pulled Shen Youwei out of the kitchen.

It's so hot.

When he came to the hall, Yun Yi let go of Shen Youwei's hand, but he felt that his palm was sticky.

Put it under the oil lamp and take a closer look, there is actually a trace of blood.

Could it be that he was scratched when he was chopping bamboo?

Yun Yi wiped it lightly and found that it was not his own blood, so he hurriedly took Shen Youwei's hand and looked at it:

"Your hand hurts?"

"It's okay, when I went up the mountain to chop firewood today, I was sharpened by the firewood knife and made a few blisters, and I have already picked them all out."

The little girl was held by Yun Yi, and the red glow on her face instantly smudged behind her ears.

Yun Yi looked at the white bubbles and couldn't help but feel distressed.

How much pain did this little girl endure to make this meal for herself!

For a while, Yunyi's eyes began to redden.

"Don't go up the mountain again in the future, we have money now, and when the Zhou family's money is returned, we will live in peace and stability."

Yunyi gently blew on the little girl's wound, and her heart was full of self-blame and guilt.

"The five taels of silver can't be spent indiscriminately, in addition to paying off the arrears of the Zhou family, the rest has to be kept for Brother Yi to study!"

Although Shen Youwei's face was crimson, when she talked about reading, her tone was unprecedentedly firm.

"Don't be in a hurry about reading first, and when you have a stable income in the future, it's not too late to start studying."

Yun Yi shook his head helplessly and told Shen Youwei his thoughts.

He didn't expect that the little girl would plan the use of the five taels of silver so quickly.

"That's not good, my mother-in-law told me before she left, and she must take care of you and study hard."

"Now that I have money and study, I can't continue to waste anything."

"I'll accompany you to the school early tomorrow morning, let's find Master Liu to make up for it as soon as possible, and you can study with peace of mind."

Listening to Yun Yi's words, the little girl instantly withdrew her little hand and retorted in an unquestionable tone.

"Okay, well, listen to my lady."

Yunyi didn't expect the little girl to be so persistent, so she had to half-jokingly agree.

But there was a wry smile in his heart.

In today's poetry meeting, he offended many of his classmates.

If you want to continue studying with Master Liu, you feel a headache when you think about it!

The next day, early in the morning.

When Yun Yi woke up from his dream, Shen Youwei had already put the relatively new robe on the head of his bed.

When Yunyi got dressed and came outside, the little girl had already brought breakfast to the table.

Two bowls of sticky rice porridge, a plate of pickles, half a bowl of lard residue.

Breakfast was quite generous.

After breakfast, Yun Yi took the initiative to grab the dishes and chopsticks to clean them, and then took out all the soap that had been solidified.

Cylindrical soap, generally pale yellow.

Although it does not have the fragrance of soap in the previous life, Yunyi is already very satisfied with the current effect.

He found a piece of dirty clothes, added water to the basin, and rubbed it lightly, and the clothes were as clean as new in an instant.

"Brother Yi, is this the soap you are talking about?"

Shen Youwei, who had been silent next to her, couldn't help but become excited after seeing such a magical scene.

"Yes, this is soap, not only for washing your face and bath, but also for washing clothes."

Yunyi was also excited.

Although he knew how soap was made, it was the first time he had made it himself.

Judging from the results of the experiment, the effect seems to be quite good.

"If this thing is taken to the county seat, it must be sold for a lot of money, right?"

Shen Youwei held the soap in her hand, and her eyes were full of essence.

"It's true that it can be sold for a lot of money, but it's also easy to get into trouble."

"This thing is unique in the Great Zhou Dynasty, once it is coveted, I am afraid that our stable days will come to an end."

Yun Yi looked at the soap in his hand, and he also felt sorry.

After explaining the stakes to Shen Youwei, the little girl was also worried for a while, and hurriedly and cautiously hid the soap under the bed.

After hiding the soap, Shen Youwei took the five taels of silver and wanted to pull Yunyi out of the door.

"Where are you taking me?"

Looking at Shen Youwei, who was locking the door, Yun Yi's face was full of question marks.

"Of course, I went to the school to find Master Liu!"

Shen Youwei locked the door and walked forward without looking back, saying that it was a matter of course.

Looking at the back of the little girl, Yun Yi couldn't help but laugh.

It seems that only by accompanying her on a trip can this little girl be completely dead!

The two walked all the way to the entrance of the village, and naturally they were inevitably discussed by the long-tongued women in the village.

Those people say a word to me, and they don't care whether Yun Yi and the others respond or not, the more they talk there, the more excited they become.

The little girl was thin-skinned, and before she heard a few words, the red glow on her face flew behind her ears.

In the end, Yun Yi couldn't stand it anymore, and coughed lightly at the group of long-tongued women.

But it didn't work, but they started to get worse.

Yunyi had no choice but to speed up.

The fighting power of these long-tongued women is too strong!

After making money later, I have to find a way to move out of Taoyuan Village as soon as possible.

Liu Fuzi was born in a local family, and at the age of seventeen, he became a talent in high school.

I thought that I would soon be able to win the title of the gold list, but I didn't admit that I would participate in the autumn festival many times after that, but I tried and failed.

It wasn't until later that Qingsi boiled into white hair, and the Liu clan also cut off his offerings.

Seeing that the imperial examination was hopeless, and forced to make a living, Liu Fuzi opened a private school in the countryside.

The whole person has gradually changed from a showman with two sleeves and a clean breeze to a layman who bends his waist for five buckets of rice.

When Yunyi and the others came to the school, the morning class had just begun.

Listening to the sound of reading in the private school, Shen Youwei's whole person began to get nervous.

Yunyi understands that this is the awe of the reader, and the inferiority complex in his heart is at fault.

"Let's wait a little bit."

Yun Yi took Shen Youwei's little hand and suggested softly.

"Hmm."

Shen Youwei didn't expect that Yun Yi would dare to hold her hand in the private school.

After being slightly stunned, he hurriedly pulled it back.

The two waited outside the private school for nearly an hour, and when the sound of reading in the classroom gradually stopped, Yun Yi pulled Shen Youwei outside the classroom.

After a while, Mr. Liu, who was wearing a Confucian shirt and a square scarf, walked out of the classroom slowly with his hands behind his back.

"Student Yunyi has seen the master."
