Chapter 54 I don’t read many books, but I know a lot
After teaching little Nuonuo a section of the "Three Character Classic", Su Qingqing pulled him out of the study.This is the most important place in Zhang's family, and we don't dare to let the little one stay alone in it.

Then Su Qingqing let the little guy play in the yard by himself, while she took out the Glauber's salt and limestone she bought yesterday, as well as a clay basin and several clay pots.

She was going to make soap first. The first step was to pour Glauber's salt and limestone into a large clay pot, add water and mix them together, then cover and seal them and heat them.

When Su Qingqing was busy making soda ash in the backyard, little Nuonuo, who was playing catch ants by herself, saw the movement and ran over. She squatted aside and held her head in her hands to watch Su Qingqing busy.

The little guy is very well-behaved and doesn't make any noise at all.

Su Qingqing didn't mind that little Nuonuo was squatting next to her and was in the way. The two of them were busy while the other watched. The picture was very harmonious.

After obtaining the white powdery solid soda ash, Su Qingqing began to make caustic soda again.

First pour quicklime into a clay pot, and then add water to form calcium hydroxide that is slightly soluble in water. At this time, the water will appear turbid, but it is actually milk of lime.

Heat is lost during this reaction, so now the pot is a little hot.

Su Qingqing asked little Nuonuo to stay away for fear of accidents.

Facing Su Qingqing, Xiao Nuonuo was fond of and awe-stricken, and listened to her words. Hearing this, he quickly stood away and looked away.

Su Qingqing is now considered Xiao Nuonuo's wife. Since ancient times, no child has been afraid of teachers, especially in the ancient environment where teachers could punish students openly and corporally.

After making the lime milk, Su Qingqing ignored it and let it sit for a while, waiting for the layering inside.

While waiting, Su Qingqing prepared a little more soda ash solution, calculated the time, poured it into the milk of lime, clarified, evaporated and concentrated, and finally obtained liquid caustic soda.

Liquid caustic soda is highly corrosive and has an unpleasant smell.So at this point, Su Qingqing put on simple homemade gloves and a mask, and kept little Noonuo away.

She took every next step with great care.After all, she learned this thing by watching videos in modern times, so she must be very cautious when practicing it.

Strongly corrosive things are no joke.

After preparing the caustic soda solution, Su Qingqing began to heat the lard.

If you are making handmade soap in modern times, it is best to use a thermometer to control the temperature at about 45 degrees.

But now in the Tang Dynasty, conditions are limited, so we can only keep things simple and rely on touching the clay pots with our hands to feel the temperature.

The normal temperature for adults is about 36 degrees Celsius. The two items should be slightly warm to the touch. When the temperature is about the same, you can pour them together and start stirring.

If you can add a little essential oil, spices, milk, etc. when stirring, you can get soap.

Of course, Su Qingqing didn't have any of these, so she had to make soap first.

This stirring process lasts for half an hour to an hour, which is very tiring and boring.

Su Qingqing simply hummed a song and practiced her voice.

Little Nuonuo got impatient and ran to play in the yard again.

The child next door was a few years older than him. He went to the fields with the adults and helped with whatever work he could, such as pulling weeds.

So the little guy has no company now, so he just watches the ants and entertains himself.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise at the entrance of the courtyard.

Little Nono raised his head and saw a very beautiful man at first sight.The person who led him was a child from the Chen family, and it was the child who made the chirping noise.

The man and the people and horses following him were quiet.

Chen's baby didn't leave even after receiving the reward, so she stood in a corner of the yard and watched the fun.After all, there are very few outsiders coming to the small fishing village, let alone such a good-looking person riding a tall horse.

Little Nuonuo threw away the twig that was poking the ants in her hand, raised her head and asked in a sweet voice, "Who are you? Who are you looking for?" The visitor smiled and said, "I'm looking for Mrs. Su. Does she live here now? ?”

Little Nono tilted her head and looked at the man for a while, feeling that such a good-looking person must not be a bad person, just like Aunt Qingqing.

So he clapped his hands and said, "I'm looking for Aunt Qingqing, so just wait."

After saying "thump thump thump", he walked through the main room, opened the half-opened back door, and shouted to Su Qingqing who was still busy stirring in the backyard: "Aunt Qingqing, someone is looking for you."

Su Qingqing raised her head and said, "Take them to the backyard."

"Oh." After receiving the order, little Nono ran back to the corridor and waved to the man, "Follow me."

The man said to the maid behind him: "Jianjia, wait here with your men and horses."

"Here."

Then he said to the two women who obviously did not look like Han Chinese: "Follow me in."

"Here."

The three of them followed little Noonuo through the main room to the backyard. The Chen family's children also wanted to follow, but were stopped by Jian Jia.

"Qingqing, the girl who promised you yesterday has brought it to you today. Are you satisfied with it?" It was Zheng Tian who spoke.

He made a cross-hand salute to Su Qingqing, who was busy stirring and just nodded perfunctorily.

"You are so fast." Su Qingqing looked at the person behind Zheng Tian.

Zheng Tianxiao: "What Zheng promised will naturally be done."

"Are they all female musicians?"

"Exactly."

It was obvious that the one with the high nose, deep eyes, fair skin and beautiful face was Hu Ji, but Su Qingqing could not recognize the other one.But judging from his appearance, it is certain that he is not of pure Han descent.

Zheng Tian did not intend to show off, and directly pointed at the two of them and introduced: "This is the Orchid from the Western Regions from the Guangzhou Pier, and this one is the Bodhisattva Man. Both of them are very good at singing and dancing, and they have a good voice."

There is actually a Bodhisattva!
This does not refer to the familiar name of Ci Pai, but to the women from the Barbarian Kingdom who paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty.

Because the Tang Dynasty liked to call beautiful girls Bodhisattva, female Bodhisattva, etc., so these exquisite and beautiful beauties from the female barbarian country were called Bodhisattva Barbarians.

Both Hu Ji and Bodhisattva Man were one of the favorite female slaves of the Tang Dynasty nobles.

This group of beautiful and exotic women, when they were young and beautiful, were naturally as popular as the popular stars of later generations, and lived a life of wealth and luxury.

But once they grow old, or their owners simply lose interest, their fate is tragic.It is usually difficult for Israel to serve people and end well.

After all, the Tang Dynasty was a dynasty where slaves were legal. Although the status of women was improved because of Wu Zetian, they were good citizens and did not include female slaves.

Slaves, regardless of gender, had no human rights.

Su Qingqing looked at the two colleagues in front of her from thousands of years ago and felt quite emotional.

When you are a star in modern times, although there will be some anti-fans attacking the actor, but after all, we live in a world where everyone is equal.For some celebrities who gained financial freedom early on, they are even vaguely superior to others.

But the two people in front of them could only be given away as gifts.
