Rebirth of the leisurely life in ancient times
Chapter 33: Making CansSoap
When Xia Zixuan got home and entered the space, she calculated how much silver she had left. She took out one thousand taels of silver to build the house, and the money to buy land. She still had more than two thousand taels of silver in her hand.
But the money would be spent sooner or later, so she had to find something to do. She discovered that people here used soap nuts to wash clothes, and there was no soap.
She washes clothes in the space. She wants to try making a simple soap first. When she succeeds, she can build a workshop to make soap. She can also take some of the soap in her space and sell it as fine soap.
Xia Zixuan took out a piece of fatty pork from the space, then boiled the pork into oil and filtered out the oil residue.
She filtered some more wood ash water, poured clean water into the pot, and when the water was heated, she carefully poured the wood ash water into the pot. After stirring it thoroughly, she poured the water into a basin because she didn't have a mold now.
When the temperature is about right, slowly pour in the filtered lard, and keep stirring until it becomes thick and white. Put it in the space and wait for it to solidify. Clean up the stove, and slip into the space.
After going to the orchard and harvesting the fruits from the trees and then harvesting and planting the sweet potatoes, she used her mind to take out some yellow peaches that she wanted to can.
It would be nice to open a shop to sell various canned foods. I will go find Master Zhou tomorrow and ask him to assign some people to build two workshops first.
Xia Zixuan did as she said and took out some peaches using her mind.
Wash and peel the peaches, dig out the core and cut into small pieces, soak the peaches in water with salt, take out the cans from the warehouse, boil them in a pot to sterilize them, and then dry them.
Then put the soaked peaches into the pot, cut them into pieces, and then add rock sugar. Put all the cans into the pot and put the lid on without tightening it.
Xia Zixuan took out the alarm clock and set the time. It would take about twenty minutes to steam. Then she took it out and tightened the bottle cap while it was still hot. She then put the bottle upside down to cool and could turn it over the next day.
Later, we made canned strawberries, canned pears, canned oranges, etc.
After being busy outside for a whole morning and then busy in the space for half a day, she felt tired not physically but mentally. She took a shower and fell asleep on the bed. When she woke up, a day had passed in the space. She got up and checked her soap and cans.
Coming to where the soap was, she touched it with her hand. Hmm, it was no longer soft. She tried it and decided to use it. She stayed in the space for a few days before going out.
Before going out, she looked at the cans again, picked up a bottle, opened it and tasted it. It was not delicious, a little sour and sweet. She took the can of yellow peaches she opened and went to the living room to eat it.
Xia Zixuan was thinking while eating, cans and soap were both successful, and she could start production once the workshop was built.
She also had to buy two shops first. To buy shops, she had to buy people, otherwise there would be no one to help her run the shops. She also couldn't be in the shops every day, mainly because she was lazy.
After finishing the canned food, Xia Zixuan slipped out of the space. She looked at the time and decided to make lunch. She drove the ox cart to deliver some vegetables and twenty rabbits to Aunt Wang and the others.
When she arrived, Wang and the others had already started steaming buns, and had already found the people. When they saw her coming, they greeted her warmly.
Aunt Chen sat in front of the stove, lighting a fire, and thanked her with a smile on her face: "Xuan girl is here, thank you for giving us this profitable job."
Aunt Qian also smiled happily as she spoke, "Yes! You didn't see Ma's face, it was so long."
Aunt Li spoke up for her and said, "It's the same with Zheng! She saw that I could earn so much money by working here, so she was so jealous. They deserved it. Who told them to bully Xuan girl?"
Xia Zixuan listened to what they said without commenting. As long as they didn't come to her and act rashly, she would not care about them. "Hello, auntie. I'm here to bring some food over."
Wang saw that everyone was talking endlessly, so she quickly changed the subject, "Okay, stop talking, come and help get the vegetables and rabbit down, so we can cook! Otherwise, we won't be able to see them when it gets dark."
"Hey, here I come, Xuan girl, your food is so good!"
Aunt Chen heard from Mrs. Wu that they had good meals in the morning and at noon, but she didn't see much so she was a little bit unconvinced. Now she saw that it was true.
"This isn't so good. You guys are building a house for me, and it's all physical work. Of course I have to feed them all! Otherwise, where would they get the strength?"
Li looked at all the things and said, "You are a good person. Otherwise, there are so many people building houses, but the food is not that good!"
In fact, they all knew what the food was like outside, because the men in their families had worked outside, and the original owner's father fell down because he didn't eat well and was weak.
She smiled and said nothing. She also wanted everyone to build her a house quickly and without cutting corners so that she wouldn't go hungry. Xia Zixuan parked the ox cart and went over to find Master Zhou.
At this time, Xia Zixuan didn't know that because she didn't look for Zheng and Ma, they were spreading rumors everywhere...
