Mrs. Chen also came up with the idea to ask Li Qingxiu not to give out a piece of meat, but just stew pig blood with cabbage for everyone to eat.

Li Qingxiu was speechless. Just as she was about to fight for it, the two sisters kicked her out of the kitchen, saying that they were the only ones to take care of the lunch today.

She won't do it unless she is told to do it, and she is happy and relaxed. Li Qingxiu was about to see if there was anyone in Li Lei who could help, when she saw the little boy making soap in a bamboo tube in the corner.

Seeing that the little boy looked stupid and refused to give up until he bit the bamboo tube, Li Qingxiu hurriedly stepped forward to grab the soap from the tiger's mouth.

The little cub was a little unhappy after his toy was taken away, but when he saw that it was his master, he immediately became very well-behaved.

Li Qingxiu patted the kid on the butt and reprimanded: "Little greedy tiger, this thing is not for you to eat. I will eat you to death when the time comes. What will you do?"

The beaten kid whined dissatisfiedly at Li Qingxiu and ran away.

Li Qingxiu didn't care about the kid. When she saw that the soap in the bamboo tube had solidified, she opened the bamboo tube and poured out the cylindrical light green soap.

She also put soapberry soap to the tip of her nose and smelled it, and a faint scent of soapberry came to her nostrils.

Li Erzhuang, who was shaving the wild boar, saw the soap in Li Qingxiu's hand and asked, "Qingxiu, what is that in your hand? It's really pretty."

As soon as Li Erzhuang said this, he successfully attracted both Li Dazhuang and Li Lei to look at the items in Li Qingxiu's hand.

Li Qingxiu did not hide it, and said generously: "This is soapberry soap."

When Li Dazhuang heard this, he immediately stopped what he was doing and stood up in shock. "Soap? Is it the soap sold in makeup stores?"

Li Qingxiu didn't expect Li Dazhuang to be so excited when he heard Soap. She had never been to a makeup store, but she thought it was the same.

It was a pity. Li Qingxiu thought that there was no soap in this dynasty. She thought that if there was no soap, this would be a golden way.

When Li Erzhuang saw that Li Qingxiu was silent, he thought he was frightened by Li Dazhuang. He patted his brother's arm and said dissatisfiedly: "Soap is just soap. Why are you so excited! Look, Qingxiu was frightened."

Li Dazhuang stared at the soap in Li Qingxiu's hand and said with excitement: "Why am I excited? You don't know that a small piece of soap in a cosmetics shop costs one or two silver dollars."

"What? One tael!" This time it was Li Erzhuang and Li Lei who said in unison excitedly.

Even Li Qingxiu was shocked. A small piece of soap was worth one or two silver dollars. It seemed that whether in ancient times or modern times, women really earned the most money.

Li Qingxiu handed the soap in his hand to Li Dazhuang. "I made this with soapberry. If you like it, I can give you a piece or two."

Li Dazhuang took the soap from Li Qingxiu's hand and touched it carefully. "Qingxiu, can this thing be used to wash your hair and take a shower?"

Li Qingxiu smiled. "Since it's called soap, it works, but I plan to use it to wash clothes."

Li Erzhuang and Li Lei looked at each other. This girl is really a prodigal. One or two silver items can be used to wash clothes. Just wash clothes with plant ash and it can be washed very clean.

Li Dazhuang frowned when he heard what Li Qingxiu said. "How can you use soap to wash clothes? It's such a waste. The situation in Xinzhou is not good now. If Xinzhou is peaceful, you can make a fortune just by selling this soap, Qingxiu."

Li Qingxiu also felt very sorry when she heard this. She has a lot of money, but the outside world is not peaceful. If there is peace outside, she can do great things.

Li Qingxiu took out the dagger from his arms, then cut the large piece of soap into six pieces, and gave three of them to them.

Seeing that they didn't dare to accept it, Li Qingxiu said: "Your hands are all greasy now. I just want to try this soap to see how effective it is in removing the oil."

Hearing what Li Qingxiu said, the three men carefully took the soap.

Li Erzhuang cherished it and touched it and smelled it. He sighed in his heart: I don't have soap in my hand, but one tael of silver!

Li Dazhuang had already wet his hands with hot water, then picked up soap and rubbed it in his hands a few times. His calloused hands soon became rich in foam.

Li Qingxiu narrowed his eyes. It seemed that Li Dazhuang knew how to use soap.

Seeing other people staring at him washing his hands, Li Dazhuang felt a little embarrassed.

"I used to work in a Yuan's house, and the young master of that house couldn't see anything dirty. When he saw that our hands were dirty and we went to eat without washing them, he asked the housekeeper to bring us a piece of soap and let us wash our hands before eating.

When I saw that the soap was not only fragrant but also cleansing, I wanted to buy one as a gift for my child. However, when I inquired about it, I found out that it was only sold in powder shops, and the worst soap cost one tael a piece. "

Li Qingxiu walked over and scooped out a ladle of hot water for Li Dazhuang to rinse the foam. After a while, Li Dazhuang's hands no longer felt greasy, and there was also a faint fragrance of soapberry.

Upon seeing this, Li Erzhuang and Li Lei also imitated Li Dazhuang and washed their hands. After the foam was washed away, they felt that the greasy feeling on their hands disappeared. This was much easier to use than plant ash.

While waiting for lunch, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen were very happy when they heard that they had got a piece of soapberry soap. Li Qingxiu praised her and made her face blush slightly.

At this moment, Zhao Cuihua came back with a bucket full of clean pig waste. Upon seeing this, Li Qingxiu quickly stepped forward to take the pig out of the water and invited her to sit down and eat together.

However, Zhao Cuihua waved her hand and took a few steps back, telling Li Qingxiu not to get too close to her.

Li Qingxiu and everyone were confused. What was going on?

Afraid that Li Qingxiu would misunderstand, Zhao Cuihua explained to Li Qingxiu that her body was full of the smell of pig waste, and she had to go back and take a shower quickly. Otherwise, she would hardly be able to bear it.

After hearing this, Li Qingxiu gave Zhao Cuihua a piece of soapberry soap as a thank you gift.

It wouldn't be a good idea not to send it, because she has already sent it to three soaps, and the news will definitely spread.

It would be fine if I didn't send it and didn't come to help. For those who helped, some were given and some were not, which wouldn't be justified in terms of human feelings.

Fortunately, this soap is not difficult to make. Just wait until it is gone and make some more.

Zhao Cuihua was overjoyed when she took the soap. She refused Li Qingxiu's warm invitation, saying that she must go back and take a shower quickly.

Li Qingxiu couldn't resist her, so she took the basket and packed enough food for their family for Zhao Cuihua to take back.

It wasn't until the afternoon that the four wild boars were treated with everyone's concerted efforts. They were all dirty and said they wanted to go back and take a shower.

Li Qingxiu didn't keep them, but told them that they must come to her house for dinner in the evening. He also said that if he didn't come, she would definitely be angry.

Li Dazhuang laughed and said: "Hahaha... don't worry, we will definitely come to the pig killing feast. This is a custom passed down from our ancestors and we will not destroy it."

After sending Li Dazhuang and the others away, Widow Jia came to pick up the meat, saying that she was going to prepare a big pot of rice for the evening.

Li Qingxiu directly gave her two large pieces of pork belly and two pots of pig blood as a treat to the villagers in Lihua Valley to eat pig meat.
