She stuffed the brush into Dong Rong's hand: "Just these four words, you write them again, and it's best to draw something next to it." ”

What the head of the family commanded, Dong Rong has always been distracted.

He spread out the paper and held the brush, but he didn't put it down for a long time.

Gu Qing didn't urge him, Dong Rong can write and draw, she will definitely not live up to her expectations, it's really not good, she can wait for Mo Li to come back in the evening and let Mo Li try.

Dong Rong thought for a while, took the pen and dipped the ink, and began to write on the paper, he did not write horizontally, but two words up and down, left and right, and the two lines representing the river, passing through the middle of the four words, meandering up to the northeast, obviously just two simple black lines, were sketched by him so casually, bent, inexplicably became magnificent, there is a kind of positive beauty.

"Rong'er, you're amazing!"

Gu Qing's eyes lit up, the feeling she wanted, Rong'er expressed it all, these words were too perfect.

She took two drawings and walked to the Gu family's old house in a hurry.

Old man Gu is weaving a basket in the yard, bamboo is all over the mountain, and after weaving it into bamboo utensils, it can be sold in the town, and it can also be sold for a little copper money.

"Grandpa!" Gu Qing quickly came in and put the two drawings in front of the old man, "Can you make these two things?" ”

Old Man Gu picked up the two pieces of paper and looked at them carefully: "This boxy thing can be made, it's not difficult, but how do you make these words?" ”

"It's like making a seal, the words and the picture have to be reversed." Gu Qing opened his mouth and said, "You can try to make one with radish first, if it really doesn't work, I'll go to the town and find someone to make it." ”

"Yes, of course!" Old Man Gu should come down, "Give me two days, and I will definitely figure it out for you." ”

Gu Qing knew that the old man loved to study when he was old, so she smiled and said, "Don't be in such a hurry, come out first in three days." ”

Old man Gu didn't ask her what she was going to do, anyway, this eldest granddaughter has always been reliable, what can she do...... Of course, his old man had automatically forgotten what his eldest granddaughter was like before.

When Gu Qing returned home, many people in the village came to deliver adobe, she asked Gu Meng to help count it, and she counted the accounts and settled the money on the spot.

There are about 20,000 or 30,000 pieces of adobe bought by every family in the village, and all of them are stacked in the open space next door.

The next morning, Dong Rong and Gu Yu found all the thirty men who started the work, these men were all people who had not found a job in the town, they didn't have a few serious things to do at the end of the day, and they could find a job in the village for thirty wen a day, which was simply a good thing for pie in the sky, they didn't ask Gu Qing's family why they wanted to build a house again, they rolled up their sleeves and lowered their heads and started working.

The house they built this time was different from the house they had built before, the adobe walls were built diagonally, and there were many vents to be left, because making soap always had to work at a high temperature, leaving no air openings, and people were prone to physical problems after holding it in the house for a long time......

In addition to building walls, you should also build a large stove for a fire, and build one in the middle of the house, according to the size of the pot.

This pot is a steel pot that Gu Qing bought in the mall, and steel products are also available in this dynasty, but she didn't know where to buy it for a while, so she went to the town, and then brought back four big steel pots, and no one in the village said anything...... After all, Gu Qing's family can not only build a big house, have a carriage, but also open a shop in the town, and now it is too normal to buy a few pots.

In less than three days, the soap workshop was slowly taking shape.

A large house was built next to the original house, which was very eye-catching, and many people in the village talked about it.

Old Mrs. Gu couldn't hold it back, so she pulled Gu Qing and asked in a low voice: "It also cost a lot of money to build this house, what are you going to do?" ”

Gu Qing knew that everyone would know about this sooner or later, so she simply didn't hide it, she said, "I'm planning to do another business." ”

She came out with a basin of water, put it in front of the old lady, and then handed over a piece of soap, "Grandma, wash your hands." ”

Old Mrs. Gu is a pair of rough wrinkled hands, the back of the hand is furrowed, and there are black things everywhere in the gaps between the palms and fingers, which are dirt accumulated over the years, and in the era when there are no cleaning items, these stubborn stains cannot be washed off at all.

Her old man glanced at Gu Qing's white and pure hands, and inexplicably felt a little embarrassed.

In fact, the hands of the people in the village are like this, and she used to think that it was nothing, but the eldest granddaughter suddenly asked her to wash her hands, and the sense of shame came up instantly.

"Milk, wet your hands first, and then rub this thing on your hands."

Gu Qing demonstrated a little.

Mrs. Gu did so, this thing was slippery on her hand, and there was a layer of white fine foam in her palm, as if she had rubbed off some of the black things in her palm, and her old man hurriedly put her hand in the basin and took it out again, and sure enough, her hand was clean and lost.

"W-What is this?" Old Mrs. Gu was surprised,

"It can't be the kind of bath beans that big families use, right?"

She'd heard of it, she'd never seen it, and couldn't possibly use it.

In her concept, only bath beans can have such a good cleaning effect.

"When I was cooking that day, a jar of lard on the stove was poured into the ashes and condensed to form this kind of thing, and I tried it, and it was very good, much better than washing things with ashes." Gu Qing laughed, "Grandma, you said, if I make this thing and sell it, will there be a market?" ”

"Lard? A jar of lard? Old Lady Gu's eyes widened, "This thing is made of lard, my God, I actually washed my hands with lard just now!" ”

A can of lard, their family can use it for a year!

Why is this big granddaughter so able to spoil things!

Gu Qing: "......"

Why is the old lady's focus always so strange!

She opened her mouth and explained: "Milk, calm down, let me ask you, do you know how much a bath bean costs?" ”

Mrs. Gu shook her head, she didn't know where to sell bath beans in the town, how could she know how much it was, anyway, she couldn't afford it, and she didn't care about the price.

"A bath bean the size of a baby's fist costs about one or two silver."

Gu Qing said with a smile, "This thing in our house is better than bath beans, but it has no fragrance...... When I think of adding fragrance to it, then it can be sold for at least one tael of silver, do you know how much lard you can buy for one tael of silver? ”

Mrs. Gu quickly calculated in her heart, pure fat pork costs more than 20 yuan a catty, one tael of silver can buy 50 catties, and 40 catties of lard can be boiled out...... As soon as she settled the account like this, her old man's mentality became more and more unstable, and she even became short of breath: "This thing, can it really be sold for a tael of silver?" ”

She grabbed Gu Qing's sleeve.

Gu Qing nodded seriously: "As long as this thing is listed, it will definitely be able to sell at this price." ”

"Eldest granddaughter, can't you see anyone in the future and say how did you find this thing, what if people also learn from you to make it with lard and plant ash?"

Old Madam Zhao lowered her voice and said, "This thing will definitely be sold, but if the formula leaks and everyone swarms to make this thing, how can you make money?" ”

Gu Qing knew that the old lady was really thinking about her, and she didn't want the old man to worry about this matter every day, so she smiled and said: "I have been researching and improving the formula for the past few days, which is made by adding some other things, and relying on pork fat and plant ash alone does not have such a good effect." ”

High alcohol and salt water, which are the basis of the soap business.

Old Lady Gu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, you have to grasp the secret recipe in your own hands, Yang Pei and they are outsiders after all, don't tell them ...... yet"
