Traveling with warehouses: I raised a brood of little villains

After leaving Lin's house, Lin Ruyi went straight back to her own home.

Chu Jieyi and the others haven't eaten yet, they have been waiting for her.

Chu Anan and Chu Zijun stared eagerly at the food in the bowl, swallowing all the time, but they didn't dare to stretch out their chopsticks to pick it up.

"Didn't I say that you don't have to wait for me and let you eat first?" Lin Ruyi walked in quickly.

"Father said, mother cooks very hard, so we have to wait for mother to come back before eating." Chu Anan looked at Lin Ruyi with round eyes and said.

Lin Ruyi glanced at Chu Jieyi, he seemed a little embarrassed and didn't look at himself.

"Well, then I'm back, eat quickly, I'll wash your hands." Lin Ruyi went to the kitchen to fetch water and wash her hands after finishing speaking.

When she came out, the children were still waiting for her.

The children didn't eat until she sat down, picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

Because she was afraid that the children would find it a bit spicy, she didn't put too much chili, and she also prepared two bowls of boiling water for them, so they can rinse it in it.

The two children are quite spicy eaters, and they ate mouthful after mouthful until their mouths were full of oil.

Lin Ruyi helped Chu Zijun pick out the fishbone, fearing that he would get stuck if he was too young.

The family just finished eating those.

After Lin Ruyi washed the dishes, she took a look at the plant ash, and found that the ashes hadn't settled yet, so she should wait for a while.

When she went out to see Chu Jieyi, she thought of what her mother said.

Then he walked over and asked Chu Jieyi: "Aren't you going to ask the village chief about the land? Are you ready? When do you plan to start repairing?"

"I asked. There is an open space east of the village entrance, which is enough for us to build a new house. The land needs eight taels of silver." Chu Jieyi said.

Lin Ruyi nodded.

"So did you buy it?"

Chu Jieyi nodded, he had already checked the land, it was quite good, and the location was spacious.

But the title deed of the land has to wait two days to get it.

"When will the construction start?" Lin Ruyi thought that building a house was a big deal, and it wouldn't take three to five days to finish it, so she had to make some preparations.

"About five days later." The village chief said that it might take three days to get the title deed, and he had to approve other things, so it would be about five days later.

"Then do I need to prepare anything? For example, prepare meals for those who come to work?" Lin Ruyi thought that if someone came to help, it should be a whole day, and lunch must be eaten at home.

Chu Jieyi shook his head lightly, "It's okay, I told the person I was looking for, an extra five cents a day, regardless of food, let them bring their own dry food."

There are many people helping, and Lin Ruyi is too tired to cook by herself, so she might as well give a little more money.

Lin Ruyi nodded, that's fine.

The food in her family is good, and it must be more than five yuan per person.

"By the way, my mother said that when the time comes, let my father and brothers come to help, and let us hire fewer people." Lin Ruyi said.

"It's not that I'm going to be busy harvesting the corn soon, I'm afraid your father and the others won't be free." Chu Jieyi said.

It was right for Lin Ruyi to think about it. The corn in the field is ripe and she will be busy soon. Her natal family has a lot of land, so she probably has no time to help.

"Then don't count them for the time being." Lin Ruyi nodded and said.

After talking to Chu Jieyi, Lin Ruyi went to look at the ash and water, and it was almost settled.

She slowly scooped up the water with a ladle, put it in a small basin, let it settle for a while, and then she could start making soap.

But she doesn't have a mold now, so what will she use to dress up later.

Just as she was looking for a suitable outfit, Chu Jieyi came over to ask, listened to her description, and then said to him.

Lin Ruyi didn't know what Chu Jieyi was going to do, anyway, she got the things out first before talking.

She first heated the plant ash water in a pot, because there was no thermometer here, she could only feel her own experience, and set the temperature to about 60 degrees, then poured the lard into another pot to heat, and waited until the temperature reached [-] degrees. At about ten degrees, add the plant ash water into the lard, and keep stirring to let the two fully blend.

Continue to heat in the pot, keep stirring for the first 10 minutes, then cover the pot and saponify for about half an hour, and saponify when the liquid turns into a paste.

Chu Jieyi also made four molds.

Lin Ruyi didn't do much this time, mainly to try it first.

Add some salt to the saponified liquid, in order to increase the hardness, otherwise it will be soft by then.

After adding, pour the stuff into the mould.

Not to mention that the mold made by Chu Jieyi is quite similar, and it is about the same size as modern soap.

After pouring things in, wait for things to harden and form.

Although she has done it before, it is the first time to use plant ash, so she is still a little worried.

I go to have a look from time to time, but the weather is hot now and the cooling is too slow.

It wasn't until after dinner that night that she went to look again that the soap in the mold was barely formed.

But it will take a while to get out of the mold, so I can only wait until tomorrow morning.

After Lin Ruyi washed up, she went back to her room to rest.

Chu Jieyi washed up and went back to the house.

Lin Ruyi was stunned when she saw Chu Jieyi coming in, thinking that he was going to accompany Chu Zijun today. After all, he was so young and Chu Zixuan was not at home today, so he should be scared, but he didn't expect that he didn't go.

"Aren't you going to accompany Junjun?" She asked curiously.

"No, he can sleep alone." Chu Jieyi said.

But before he finished speaking, he heard a knock on the door.

Lin Ruyi glanced at the door, then at Chu Jieyi, and motioned for him to open the door.

Chu Jieyi walked over and opened the door, and saw Chu Zijun's small body standing at the door, staring at him pitifully.

"Father, brother is not here, I'm scared alone, can you sleep with me?" Chu Zijun stretched out his hand to pull Chu Jieyi's clothes, and asked in a low voice.

Chu Jieyi frowned slightly. He was about to turn five years old, and he couldn't sleep alone. He was a little timid, and he had to exercise.

"You've grown up, you have to get used to sleeping alone. Go back to sleep by yourself, if you need something, we'll come." Chu Jieyi said with a straight face.

Seeing Chu Jieyi's face, Chu Zijun felt a little scared, and lowered his head and swallowed.

"But my elder brother is usually with me. I miss my elder brother, but I'm afraid." Chu Zijun said in a low voice.

"You are a man, and you will be five years old soon. Be brave and go back to sleep by yourself." Chu Jieyi's tone was a little bit more commanding.

Lin Ruyi heard Chu Jieyi's fierce tone, and immediately strode over.

"He's only four years old, what are you going to do to him? If you don't sleep with him, I'll sleep with him, and you go to sleep in his room. Junjun comes in and sleeps." Lin Ruyi glared at Chu Jieyi, and pulled Chu Zi You pull into the house.

Chu Jieyi frowned tightly, grabbed Chu Zijun's hand, and said calmly, "I'll go sleep with you."

It was impossible to pull him away after speaking and let him sleep with his wife.

Lin Ruyi looked at the father and son walking away, and felt that Chu Jieyi had something wrong with his mind, so it would have been better if he had promised not to.

I thought that she would sleep comfortably if she slept alone, but she unexpectedly suffered from insomnia for no reason, and couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.

In the middle of the night, she slowly fell asleep.

When I woke up the next morning, the sun was out.

She quickly got up and went to the soap she made.

Now it can be easily removed from the mold. Although it is not as hard as modern soap, it can be held without deformation.

She picked it up and tried it, and it was really foamy.

"It's done." She said happily.

"You made fragrant soap?" Chu Jieyi looked at the things in Lin Ruyi's hands and asked with a frown.

"Well, yes." Lin Ruyi nodded. It seems to be called pancreas in ancient times, but soap in modern times.

"How did you do this?" Chu Jieyi asked curiously.

Lin Ruyi was taken aback for a moment, did she want to tell him the truth?

He also confessed some things to himself, shouldn't she also confess some things about herself?
