Traveling through the daily life of raising a family in ancient times

Chapter 122

He Cheng put down his chopsticks, showing a proud expression. "Really. Father, Mother, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes." He Cheng gave him a spoonful of soup. "Hurry up and eat, don't bother your brother Xiaochuan."

"Oh." Only then did He Chengze calm down and eat quietly.

"It's okay, don't bother me." Zhou Jichuan said hastily.

"You also hurry to eat." He Yanxin also gave him a spoonful of ribs and kelp.

"Okay." After speaking, Zhou Jichuan snickered.

In short, he is more and more at ease in this home.

After a few days, the soap made by He Yanxin could be released from the mold.

In order to release the mold smoothly, he brushed a layer of soybean oil in the mold.

It would be great if there is rubber, and the demoulding should not be too simple, but unfortunately there is no way.

After using the oil, the mold is easy to take off, but the oil must be carefully wiped off before taking it out, and then wrap it in paper with the word "He Song" printed as the logo.

To be precise, it is "He Song Brand".The font was designed by Song Yeqing, and He Yanxin got someone to engrave it.

She didn't want to add her own surname at first, but He Yanxin couldn't help it.

In fact, in He Yan's confidence, what is the He Song Pai?It should be called the husband and wife card.

But calling it that would be too blunt and ostentatious, so he had no choice but to give up.

Because it was the first time trying, He Yanxin only made two flavors, a total of thirty.

"Xiao Song, help me test the quality." He said to Song Yeqing who was helping.

Song Yeqing took a flower-shaped light yellow soap, put it in front of her and smelled it, it was the elegant fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.

He got some water and rubbed it on his hands.The foam is delicate and the fragrance is more intense.

"It's easy to use and smells good." After thinking about it, she said, "I like it very much."

"It's fine if you like it, just take it and use it as you like." He Yanxin was happier than making money when he got a word of her liking. "Try this again, it's sandalwood."

According to Song Yeqing's words, she took another light brown soap with round horizontal stripes.

He continued: "The first one I used was dried osmanthus. In spring and summer, there will be more flowers that can be used. I will make a few more for you then."

"How can I use so much?" Song Yeqing washed the foam off his hands, and then used sandalwood scent.

"You can use it differently. I will make seven kinds for you, one round a week." He Yanxin said excitedly.

Song Yeqing thought of that scene and found it very magical.Who has to change to a different scented soap every day, Seven Fairies?

Thinking of this, she joked with him. "Then you'll have to get some different colors, or I won't be able to remember which one to use any day."

He Yanxin understood in seconds, "Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple, right? I remember it. When I think of a way, I'll make it for you."

"Hahaha..." Song Yeqing couldn't stop laughing. "Forget it, I can't bear so many colors."

He Yanxin only looked at her smiling face, and also smirked over there.

After Song Yeqing stopped smiling, he cleared his throat and asked, "Has the price been set yet?"

"Okay, 35 Wen for sweet-scented osmanthus. The cost of sandalwood is higher, 45 Wen."

In fact, He Yanxin knew that if Shopkeeper Yang took it away, the selling price would be much higher.

For example, the soap he made before sold for 35 cash in the shop.

But he never thought that he would take it out and sell it at a stall, it would be a waste of time, and he would have to worry about sales.

Leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade, he only has to do it, leaving the rest to Xiashufang.

This low-cost business is just a transition, and He Yanxin has no intention of relying on it to make a living.

In the past month, he made almost 15 taels of silver by making soap.Excluding the cost, there are twelve taels to say the least.

For ordinary people, this is considered a large amount of income, but judging from their family's situation, it is still not enough.

Regardless of anything else, take Zhou Jichuan's schooling problem as an example.

He Yanxin went to know a few schools in Fucheng, and the one-year training was basically around 20 taels of silver.

Moreover, there are two children in his family. After another one or two years, He Chengze will have to go to school, followed by Song Chengsi.

So when Lao Mi came back, after he recruited reliable people, he planned to teach them the method, and then started to invest in the big business that he had discussed with Meng Shurui.

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao will be here, Meng Shurui finally came to the door with the legendary old rice.

Lao Mi is tall and strong, with a big beard.I bowed to him when we first met, begged for mercy and said I was really sorry, and only now came to visit.

He smiled and said: "This time I went to the place to search for the goods. The goods are quite good. Mr. He, do you want me to bring these? Or do you go to the dental store to choose?"

Although He Yanxin felt a little uncomfortable because the other party compared people to goods, he didn't say it out.

"Let's go and see for ourselves."

You can't let the other party treat people like cattle, let them pick and choose.

"Brother Yuming, I have to trouble you to come with our husband and wife."

Naturally, Meng Shurui had no objection.So they set up two cars and went to the city.

Lao Mi took them to the backyard of the dental shop, "Your request is able to work, these few are good."

He singled out five or six men in their 20s, and then gave some basic information.

He Yanxin took a closer look and asked a few people who were more eye-catching.

Meng Shurui used to have a lot of servants in his family, so he would naturally watch people and follow him to check.

In the end, they chose two men.One is Desi and the other is Aping.

Desi is 20 years old and used to be a slave, but was sold off by the previous master's family.

Because I have been a servant since I was a child, I have already been trained.He has a clever personality, and he can serve tea and water, welcome and see off guests.

Ah Ping was born tall, but he was only eighteen when he asked. Because his family was poor and he couldn't marry a wife, he sold himself as a slave.

He is not very talkative, looks a little dull, and has an honest personality.With a lot of strength in his body, he can do any rough and heavy work.

Here I went to see the maid again.

Song Yeqing didn't hesitate, and chose the one who was quick and graceful.

The girl's name is Ahua, she is only 16 years old, and she was sold out by her family when she was a child.

Originally, she worked as rough envoys and maids in the back house of a county magistrate. When the county magistrate was promoted, some of them were laid off.

Going to a place like Yaxing seems to have glimpsed the suffering in the world, and basically everyone has a story.

And cooks like this are always in demand and belong to skilled workers.And generally they don't sell themselves, they can only hire.

Now there are two cooks waiting in the tooth shop, and Lao Mi specially recruited them for them.

They were treated differently from others, they rested alone in a room, and finally came out to introduce themselves.

"I cook a lot of Jiangnan dishes, and I also cook some northern dishes. There are seven or eight kinds of refreshments..."

A woman about 30 years old lowered her head and introduced herself.

This is just like an interview, Song Yeqing and the others are the interviewers.

The woman is Qiu Niang, 32 years old.

The family used to run a small restaurant, but the man died of illness two years ago.

The eldest daughter was already married, so she took the eight-year-old younger daughter to work as a cook in a rich family.
