Escape from the desert

After dinner, the family was busy boiling water to wash and wash before it got dark. Of course, Jiang Yan was the first to wash.

"Auntie help you wash it. You can also wash it with this one. After washing it, you can go to bed. Xiaodouzi is obedient."

Wang Jinhua carefully scrubbed the sweat off her son's body, and his rough hair was scattered on his back. During this period of time, the food rations were good, and the nutrition was in place. Several children had obvious growth, especially the small beans, which were thin and thin. The face began to become rounder.

As soon as Jiang Yan came out, she saw Wang Jinhua pouring a bowl of black things on Xiaodouzi, and then began to rub it back and forth on him. Small bubbles.

Xiaodouzi gritted his teeth, stood in the wooden basin, with his small back straight, he forcibly endured Wang Jinhua's rubbing. He wanted Ama's little balm, but there was not much of the balm, so he had to keep it for Ah. For milk!

"Jinhua, what is the half bowl you're carrying? It's pitch black."

And it's a little sticky, and it's a bit nauseating to look at.

Wang Jinhua got up quickly, directly ignoring the little bean that was still standing in the wooden basin holding the Xiaojiji, carrying the bowl to Jiang Yan's side, and wiping it with her clothes before handing it to Jiang Yan.

"This is the saponin I picked today. I'll mash it up and wash it for a few children."

Jiang Yan suddenly realized that before she was thinking about how to make soap, the raw materials came: "Is there any that have just been picked?"

"It's all kept in the kitchen. It's not too much. I can use it for laundry, so I picked a lot."

Wang Jinhua hurriedly ran to the kitchen to get two for her mother-in-law, and got a good sentence from Jiang Yan. Her excited face was rarely a little shy. My mother-in-law finally saw that I was working hard and praised me. I will continue to work hard!

When Jiang Yan left, she remembered Xiaodouzi in a trance, and hurried back to wash the little guy and carried him back to his room.

Jiang Yan saw the soap horns in her hands, like two machetes. The color was not dark, purple-brown, but still very bright. The case was hard to the touch, but it smelled nothing. She had heard of this thing when she was a child. The old man can use it for washing clothes and bathing, but because he used washing powder early, this kind of saponin has never been seen.

Because economic freedom was achieved very early, the electrical appliances at home are very complete, and there is a nanny for laundry and cooking. After passing through, it is the mother-in-law level at the top of the entire Lin family food chain, and there is no need to do laundry and cooking. Taking a bath with soap, I don't know what this saponin can do for a while.

Looking at the saponin in her hand, she thought about what to do, smash it and squeeze out the juice, right?

Originally, I planned to make pig pancreas, but the cost is relatively high compared to saponin. Since there are ready-made materials, Jiang Yan directly smashed the whole basket of saponin that Wang Jinhua picked.

Worrying that my thinking was wrong, I spent ten cents to buy the recipe in the mall, and after confirming the procedure again and again, I started to make a fire.

The most important thing about saponin is the combination of acid and alkali, and it is necessary to put a certain amount of oil. Jiang Yan uses the plant ash to filter, and first gets the right amount of alkaline water. There is no suitable essential oil, so Jiang Yan can only use the soybean oil at home. try.

She put some wormwood and mashed saponin to cook together, found a large bowl, then wrapped the boiled juice with gauze, filtered out the residue, and then poured in the prepared ingredients, and then poured them into separate In ten small bowls, wait for it to cool and solidify.

"Mother, what is this? It smells a little sweet."

Lin Bei suddenly made a noise, Jiang Yan hurriedly put away the oil can, but he couldn't let this little guy know that he had almost finished the rest of the oil.

"Isn't the little balm gone? My mother heard people say how to do it in the town before, so I thought to see if I could fiddle with it, so that you can rub your body with soap horns all day, and the skin will bleed."

Lin Bei nodded and licked the skin of his mouth: "But this thing looks green and sticky, and it should feel delicious."

"This can't be eaten. Let it cool down first to see if it solidifies. After taking a bath, take a rest early."

Jiang Yan pushed the person out of the room, put away the soap she had made, and prepared to rest herself. She would wait until tomorrow to see if the soap could work.

Jiang Yan slept very comfortably that night. She had a clean bed and washed herself. She lay lazily on the bed, and her daughter-in-law next to her had woken up early. She rarely wanted to stay in bed.

But she still had to set up a stall to make money, so she got up in a daze, and then the family started a new day. Today, she has other plans, so she arranged for the boss to help in the village. With a few children, he simply took them all to the town.

The fiery sun was rising higher and higher, Lin Gui, who was driving the ox cart, couldn't close his mouth. When he saw Jiang Yan, his eyes narrowed with a smile. The look of seeing the God of Wealth made people laugh and beat Aunt Jiang. When he started to do business, his bullock cart was not empty every day, relying on Aunt Jiang, and the life at home became better and better.

Jiang Yan also understands that everyone's life is not easy, as long as their minds are not bad, she is happy to bring each other to make a small fortune together.

When they arrived at the market, Lin Nan and the others walked to the booth, familiarly set things up, and laid out the utensils for the booth one by one. After so long, several people had become accustomed to the liveliness of the booth, and they were no longer as shy and embarrassed as before. , everyone has grown a lot.

After collecting the bills from the church, Jiang Yan was also a lot more free. She didn't need her to be at the booth all the time, and she could do other things.

Jiang Yan held Xiaodouzi and Xiaowu, and was about to go to the town to develop new customers. Today's street was extraordinarily lively. The three of them were huddled in the crowd. Whenever I see a rare item, I always come up and take a look.

Except for a bunch of candied haws for each of the two children, I bought nothing else.

"Grandma! Where are we going?"

Little Douzi carefully licked the candied haws in her hand, her dark eyes were full of surprises, and all her laughing baby teeth came out. Only then did Jiang Yan realize that the little guy's teeth weren't fully grown yet, and he had only a few gums. funny.

"Mother... sweet, mother eat it."

Lin Feng pursed his lips and smiled shyly. He raised his head and handed Jiang Yan the candied haws. His eyes were bright, full of expectations and joy.

Jiang Yan rubbed the other person's head, looked at the glazed eyes in the sun, and felt her heart melted. She ate one and let them eat the rest.

They have been walking for a while, and their clean clothes are soaked with sticky sweat. Because the two daughters-in-law are diligent in their hands and feet, everyone in the family has changed into clean new clothes.

"It's almost there."

Jiang Yan looked at the restaurant in the distance, nudging her mouth towards it. The two children didn't know what they were doing there. They only felt that the buildings in that place were extraordinarily tall and gorgeous, and there were many people coming and going.
