Chapter Seventy-One: Absolute Trust
"Why are you here?"
Xie Zi'an said: "I heard that fertilizer was going to be applied, and it happened that they were tired from studying, so I thought about coming and seeing."
Xie Ziyan and Xie Ziwen had words of suffering, and struggled to squeeze out a smile: "Sister-in-law, we are here to help."
Where can Qi Lele not see their reluctance? looked at Xie Zi'an with suspicion, did this person cheat his brother again?
Xie Zi'an looked back innocently.
"Fertilizer doesn't smell good, do you really want to fertilize it?"
Xie Ziyan and Xie Ziwen were originally a little hesitant, but looking at Chang Qingyun and others who were rolling up their sleeves not far away, they also had a young man's enthusiasm to not admit defeat inexplicably: "I want to go!"
Qi Lele said: "Well, if you feel that you can't stand it, come back, you haven't been to the ground much, and it's not a shame to can't stand the smell."
The two nodded, holding the determination and momentum of a strong man breaking his wrist, and strode towards Wang Yuzhong on the edge of the ridge.
When they were far away, Qi Lele whispered, "You don't like it yourself, and you still want to coax them to come?"
"I really didn't mention it today, they asked about you themselves, and they didn't say they were coming."
Qi Lele didn't poke him, but said, "I'm ready to work now, what about you?"
"What are you doing?"
"Watering, this fertilizer is a little dry, when they are ready, they will need to be watered again."
Xie Zi'an said, "I'll accompany you."
Qi Lele smiled and said, "Do you really want to accompany me? It's not just the smell, you're probably going to get fertilizer on the soles of your shoes."
Xie Zi'an's eyelids jumped, and he was silent for a while before he said, "I'll help you carry water."
As he spoke, he added, "Carry it to the ridge."
Qi Lele couldn't help laughing: "Teasing you! I'll do it myself, it's the upwind, the taste is lighter, you can stay here."
Xie Zi'an watched her back walk away briskly, paused, strode after her, and grabbed the bucket in front of her.
Oh! Young people never admit defeat!
The smile in Qi Lele's eyes was even stronger.
When he arrived at the edge of the ridge, Xie Zi'an understood the meaning of Qi Lele's words just now, compared to here, the taste of the upwind outlet was really nothing.
Looking at Xie Ziyan and Xie Ziwen, who seemed to have not smelled anything and were struggling to mix fertilizer into the soil, Xie Zi'an felt a little distressed and annoyed, but also with a little appreciation and pride.
Qi Lele took advantage of the time to put her hand into the bucket to add space to the spring water, there is no insect repellent pesticide here for the time being, so she can only hope that her spring water can be more powerful. I hope that the germination rate of cottonseed will be higher and grow stronger.
Just finished watering a small piece of the ridge, Qi Lele was about to turn around to scoop water, but saw Xie Zi'an standing behind her with a bucket, she raised her eyebrows, but didn't say much, and continued to scoop water the ground.
Chang Qingyun and the others not far away exchanged glances with each other, and they all saw the shock from the bottom of each other's eyes, the second son and the third son were just that, the eldest son was actually willing to go to the ground? It's still freshly fertilised!
Is this still the eldest son who once loved cleanliness?
It's just that I've become a relative, how can I be like a different person?
This young lady is really amazing! Everyone else is a husband and a wife, but here, it is a woman who sings and a husband!
For most of the rest of the day, everyone was busy in the fields, not to mention the others, even Qi Lele, who was only responsible for scooping water, felt that his arms were sore.
But the effect is remarkable, the two fields of seedlings have all been carefully fertilized, that is, the twenty acres of land have also been applied a lot, and the rest can wait for tomorrow to come again.
Xie Ziyan and Xie Zi'an went to the ground for the second time, but it was much stronger than the last time they ploughed, and there were no blisters on the palms of the hands that had tied the fabric in advance, but their arms were so sore that they couldn't lift up, and their waists were also very tired, and they didn't have much energy to walk.
Qi Lele knew that they were tired this time, so he couldn't help but say softly, "I'll go back and take a bath later, and have a good rest."
"Thank you, sister-in-law, for your concern."
Qi Lele has opened
I wondered if I should get something delicious to comfort them.
When she got home, Aunt Wang had already boiled the hot water in the cauldron, Qi Lele soaked in the bathtub, sighed comfortably, disassembled the bun and began to scrub her hair.
Xie's household bath item is a kind of powder, called bath beans, with a faint aroma, when washing, rub a little on the body, not to mention, it is quite moisturizing, but the decontamination effect is not as good as shampoo soap and the like.
Even if there is no Siya's memory to compare, Qi Lele can guess that this bath bean is not cheap, after all, the smell and appearance are there!
Since crossing over and marrying into the Xie family, Qi Lele's most unsuitable thing is that it is inconvenient to wash, although it is very comfortable to take a bath in a large wooden barrel, but to be honest, it is too troublesome, and it is too time-consuming and laborious to soak every day, if only there was a shower.
Thinking about it, Qi Lele sat up suddenly, she couldn't do a modern automatic shower shower, and the simple version still had hope to be tossed! It just so happens that the family is going to build a house now, and the craftsman team includes carpentry, since the money has been spent, it shouldn't be okay to make one or two more pieces of furniture, right?
In addition, there is soap, the material and process of soap are actually not complicated, if it can be made, can it be an additional input?
Thinking of this, Qi Lele felt that his hands were no longer sore, and he was not in a hurry to soak in the bath, so he washed himself and went to Xie Zi'an to draw drawings.
"Madame just has something to say, so you have to wait for me to wash it, right?" Xie Zi'an stretched out his hand, with undisguised disgust on his face: "It's really stinky."
"You have to stay all afternoon?" Qi Lele smiled, "Besides, how can I dislike myself so much! Go, go, I'll wait for you."
Taking advantage of Xie Zi'an's bath, Qi Lele went into the space to rummage through it, and when she accompanied her roommate to tinker with skin care products, she also checked the information and did her homework, and also took notes, which have several soap and soap making methods.
The soap is not difficult to make, water and caustic soda are heated together in a certain proportion, and lard is added after all are evenly dissolved, and the whole process is constantly stirred.
After boiling, switch to low heat and continue stirring to make the grease fully saponified.
After the saponification is fully completed, add a small amount of salt to it to make it solidified, and then let it stand for two or three hours, and then it can be cut into pieces after solidification and molding.
"Soap?"
Qi Lele nodded: "Yes, the effect is similar to the bath beans used at home, but it is more convenient and cleaner."
"Okay, try it tomorrow."
Qi Lele added: "In addition, if the bath beans are slightly improved and some of the materials are replaced, they can be made into soap pancreas, which are also lumpy, which is cheaper and better to use than bath beans."
"See what materials you need, and try them tomorrow."
"Okay."
Qi Lele likes Xie Zi'an's refreshing attitude! Every time it makes her feel absolutely trusted, she can't help but want to let go again.
"In addition, there is another thing, which is also used for bathing, I don't know how to make it, I can only roughly describe what it looks like and how to use it."
Xie Zi'an became interested: "Let's hear it."
"I'll draw first."
Xie Zi settled down and said with a smile, "It's okay."
Then, he watched Qi Lele draw another stroke, and finally drew a black mess, and secretly said in his heart: Sure enough!
