Wooden boxes are also quick to make. Li Yunshan made two large ones in four days, with a few flowers and grass roughly carved inside.

The sky, which had been cloudy since the night, began to rain in the middle of the night. Li Yunshan looked at the continuous light rain outside and had other thoughts in his mind.

"There's no one around right now. I'm going to the mountains to get those beehives."

"It's raining, so slippery."

"It doesn't matter." Li Yunshan said and stood up. "It's easy to be seen when the weather is clear. It won't be easy to explain when the time comes. This is just the right time."

"Then I'll go with you. I'll pick you up halfway up the mountain. You can't carry it down the mountain alone."

"No need." Li Yunshan picked up the bucket and left.

The soapy water she boiled last time was used for washing clothes, and now she has to boil it again to make soap.

It started to rain heavily as soon as Li Yunshan went out. After making the soap, it would take some time to dry in the shade, which was troublesome, so she planned to make more this time.

There was still a sack of soap nuts picked up last year. She dug out half a basin and came back. She cut them open one by one with scissors, took out the cores and washed them twice before putting them in a pot to cook.

The chickens crowed in the backyard. She threw the fruit cores into the stove to burn, then took the basin and went to the backyard.

The vegetables were too old to be eaten, so she left a few vegetable seeds, picked the leaves on the pole, and pulled out the rest and threw them to the chickens.

The newly planted vegetables last time were already one finger long. She pulled out the grass in twos and threes, took the eggs and returned to the kitchen.

Dig a bowl of bean noodles in a basin, boil water in the pot, scald the bean noodles, knead them into balls and steam them in the pot.

Before the steamed buns were finished, Li Yunshan came in from the door wet, holding two buckets full.

"so much?"

Li Yunshan pointed his chin at the basin on the wooden stand, "There are too many, I have to go get them again."

"Did you get it all?"

Li Yunshan said "Yeah" "There should be more if you go deeper."

"That's enough. We don't expect to open a store with this."

Li Yunshan left with the empty bucket. She moved the basin to the side room and placed it on a stool. She also sprinkled a layer of plant ash around it to prevent attracting insects.

After simmering the soapberry in the pot for half an hour, it began to turn slightly yellow and sticky. She spread the cloth on the basin and poured the soapberry water little by little to filter.

Half a basin of soap berries boiled half a basin of soap berry water. After filtering, she put it on a wooden shelf. She took a large piece of beeswax and put it into the basin. She steamed the pot until the steamed buns were brought down, and then put the basin Place over hot water to melt.

Li Yunshan came back quickly and blocked the courtyard door after entering.

Mao Xiaosui poured a spoonful of honey into the melted beeswax, and then poured the saponin water in and stirred.

Not caring that Li Yunshan had just come back, he directly put the basin on the table and ordered him to "stir it quickly."

Li Yunshan wasn't angry either. He put the bucket down, washed the handle, and sat down to stir.

Mao Xiaosui washed the cloth that filtered the saponin water and dried it, and washed the pot in which the saponin water was boiled.

The water is not poured out, just poured directly into the washing basin.

After cleaning up, I heated up the oil and started frying the vegetables.

Li Yunshan poured the thickened soap paste into the wooden box, and poured the remaining unfinished soap into a bowl and took it to the side room.

Seeing that he was done, Mao Xiaosui hurriedly said, "Go change your clothes and eat."

Li Yunshan didn't move. He washed his hands and sat down directly. He said a little funny, "I've already covered you dry after such a long time."

She turned around and looked, and found that it was true, so she put the steamed buns and fried vegetables on the table to eat, dug out two spoons of honey and made some honey water.

Li Yunshan quite likes to drink, a mouthful of steamed buns, a mouthful of vegetables and a mouthful of honey water.

After dinner, he still had to make honey. There were no extra jars at home, so Li Yunshan simply washed a water jar and put the honey directly into the jar.

The four buckets plus what was made before were poured into the jar just a little bit. Mao Xiaosui poured some warm water into the jar that had been filled with honey. Li Yunshan held it and shook it, then poured the water into the basin, and then poured it in again. He poured some water and continued shaking. After repeating this three times, the honey in the jar was almost ready. Mao Xiaosui then washed the jar with water and put it away.

There was a lot of honey in the basins and buckets, and they put it back on the stools in the side room, planning to rinse it and drink it next time.

The chickens had been crowing in the backyard for a while. Li Yunshan went to the backyard to get eggs. When he came back, his clothes were stained with mud. It looked like he had dropped them.

"Is the egg not broken?"

"No." Li Yunshan put the eggs on the stove and said, "I dropped them when I entered the door. I'll have fried eggs tonight."

"Okay." She agreed with a smile, put the squeezed dregs in to cook, and then said to him, "You can change your clothes and go to bed. I'll just watch."

"Just put two big sticks in and cook slowly. You don't have to watch."

"Go ahead, I'll wash yesterday's clothes just in time."

Li Yunshan said nothing more, went into the house, changed his clothes, and threw the dirty clothes into the basin at the door.

Mao Xiaosui added fire to the stove and took out the dirty clothes from the side room.

Summer clothes are not dirty even if they are washed in a day or two. She rubs them in soapy water a few times and wrings them out. She puts the basin under the eaves to catch the water. When the water is almost full, she rinses out the foam.

The boiled soap peel has a lot of foam, so it needs to be washed three times before it is considered clean.

She twisted out the clothes and put them on the table in the side room, then took the unfinished work on the shoe soles.

Boil the honeycomb over low heat for an hour and pour the dregs into a basin to dry.

Li Yunshan was not awake yet. After washing the pot, she also went into the room and slept for a while.

When he woke up, it was still raining. Li Yunshan sat on the threshold of the kitchen, drinking a bowl of honey water and watching the rain.

There was a lot of honey and water, so she went in and drank a bowl. Because of the hot weather, the beeswax in the basin had not completely solidified. She went to the side room to take a look, and the soap paste looked soft and had not solidified.

She didn't care and went outside to get into a hut. She blocked the door and just sat on the stool when she heard Wang Huacheng lose his temper again.

She picked up the unfinished sole and continued to work on it. She couldn't help but laugh when she heard the sound. "Do you think Li Xiaoru ever thought she would have this day?"

Li Yunshan smiled and said nothing.

In the evening, she ate honey omelette. She didn't feel bad if there were too many eggs in the house. She fried eight of them at once. She ate three and let Li Yunshan eat the rest.

The rain was getting dark quickly. Before going to bed, Li Yunshan went to the side room to look at the soap. When he came back, he said, "If it doesn't rain tomorrow, you can go to the market to sell eggs. I'll take a look at the wheat. If I have time, I can go to the mountain in the afternoon." Chopping wood.”

"There are still ten days until July."

"If you look at it, it's usually around July, and it's not after July every year."

"Sure." She said nothing more.
