A small peasant girl's home is bare, but I have a spiritual space

By the next day, 30 soap molds customized by Lin's father had been made. The edges of the molds were polished smooth and the size was accurate.

It is amazing that we can produce so many molds in such a short time with such good quality.

Let him take over the mold business from now on.

Carpenter Zhang never expected that his serious and responsible attitude would win him such a large order, and it also laid a solid foundation for his future entry into the furniture market.

Third Brother Lin didn't know where he found the iron mesh that was 70% to 80% new.

All the preparations have been made.

Lin Yiran asked his third brother Lin to put the iron mesh on a large wooden basin, pour the wood ash on the iron mesh, and filter out impurities such as small stones, unburned grass leaves, etc.

Then add water to the filtered fine wood ash and boil it, then add lard and stir constantly.

Stop stirring when it becomes thick and wait for it to cool.

After the family waited anxiously for several hours, Lin Yiran took a look at the paste. It was black and gray, and the color was really ugly.

I picked off a piece with my hand and smelled it. The lard and wood ash formed a new smell that was very bad.

Even if this soap has a cleaning effect, not many people will buy it. It is really hard to describe its appearance and taste.

When everyone saw Lin Yiran shaking his head, they knew that they had failed.

Seeing Lin Yiran looking dejected.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning. Just try a few more times and you will succeed." Several people comforted him.

Lin Yiran suddenly thought of the spices she took out from the space.

Yes, adding a little spice will make it fragrant.

As for the ugly color, just boil the wood ash with water, wait for it to settle, pour out the clear water on top and set aside.

After figuring it out, I started the second round of experiments.

Summarizing previous experiences and lessons, lemon-flavored spices were added in proportion in the second round.

The finished product looks pretty good, the color is close to milky white, and it smells like a light lemon fragrance.

This time it looked like it was the right thing to do. "Third brother, find the dirtiest piece of clothing at home and let's try it on."

Lin Yiran said to Brother Lin San.

Brother Lin San rummaged through the drawers for a while and finally found a piece of clothing he wore as a child. In addition to urine stains, there were also oil stains on it.

I even saw a few small black hand prints.

This is too dirty, I’m embarrassed to take it out!

"Did you find it, Third Brother?" Lin Yiran urged. "Found it," Third Brother Lin walked out hesitantly.

Lin Yiran saw the small clothes in Third Brother Lin's hand and snatched them away, "Wow Third Brother, is this what you wore when you were a child?

So cute! "Before the expected ridicule, Lin Sange was a little uncomfortable. He scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Hehe, little guy, look at this little piece of clothing. It's so dirty, I must be embarrassed to take it out.

But it is really dirty, and is the perfect experimental subject."

Lin Yiran soaked the clothes in the wooden basin.

Four people, eight pairs of eyes, stared at the clothes in the wooden basin without blinking, afraid of missing anything.

After soaking for about a quarter of an hour, apply the soap to the dirty area and rub it with your hands for a few times. The stain will gradually fade until it disappears.

Everyone watching this magical scene found it incredible.

Third Brother Lin was still worried and checked the clothes in the wooden basin several times to make sure that all the stains were gone.

There was also a faint lemon scent emanating from the clothes.

He hugged Lin Yiran excitedly and spun around, shouting excitedly: "We succeeded, we succeeded."

Lin Yiran was dizzy from being spun by Third Brother Lin, so he quickly called for a stop. Second Brother Lin looked at this unfocused younger brother in silence.

"Ran'er, I see that your spices have several flavors. Can we add different spices to our soap?" Second Brother Lin suggested.

"Of course, it seems that our second brother is the best at thinking."

After hearing this, Brother Lin's cheeks turned red, with a smile on his face, and he gently stroked the dizzy Lin Yiran.

Lin's mother and father were also very excited, and were eagerly waiting for Lin Yiran to speak.

Before she knew it, Lin Yiran had become the pillar of this family.

Lin Yiran looked at everyone's high spirits and felt that it was time to tell her family about her decision.

"Mom and Dad, after we make the soap, have you ever thought about where to sell it?"

"Of course we sold them at the market," Father Lin said quickly.

"I think it's a bit of a waste to sell such good things at the market," said Lin Erge.

Lin Yiran stared at Second Brother Lin with shining eyes, "Then where do you think it should be sold to?"

Looking at Lin Yiran's expectant eyes.

Brother Lin hesitated for a moment and said, "I think things are valuable because they are rare. We don't have this kind of soap in this dynasty.

We can make the packaging better and sell it to rich people."

Lin Yiran felt that Second Brother Lin’s ideas coincided with his own. It would be a shame not to do business. It would be a waste of talent!

"I think we can put the soap in silk shops, garment stores, and brothels." Third Brother Lin said weakly.

Father Lin's face darkened as he listened. He was so angry that he slammed his head on Third Brother Lin's head, "You little bastard, do we think we can go to a place like a brothel?"

Third Brother Lin touched his head which was hurt by the blow and retorted: "Dad, we went to the brothel to sell soap to the girls there.

They are rich and beautiful, so they can definitely be sold at a good price.”

"You can't go there. If you go there, your reputation will be ruined and no girl will be willing to marry you."

"If I don't go, no girl will be willing to marry me." Lin Sange muttered quietly.

"What did you say?" "Nothing... nothing." How could Brother Lin San dare to speak out his true feelings? Wouldn't that be asking for a fight?

Lin Yiran thought that Third Brother Lin’s idea was a good one, but it couldn’t be told to Lin’s father and mother, so it had to be done secretly.

As for the reputation issue that Lin's father mentioned, that is not a big deal at all.

According to what Lin's father said, officials and even royal relatives could not find wives.

They are all frequent visitors to brothels.

After all, only poor people care about reputation. If you are poor and have bad habits, you will definitely not be able to find a wife.

When my family has enough money, I will marry off some beautiful wives and concubines for my brothers, hehehe...

"No matter where you sell it, at least there should be stock, so stop arguing.

Let’s make the soap first.” Lin’s mother made the final decision.

Several people worked for an entire afternoon and made about 120 bars of soap, because there were too few molds.

This is the result after 30 molds were reused four times. It is already the limit. No matter how many more are made, it will not solidify.

Everyone was exhausted, so we simply cooked some noodles in the evening and went back to our rooms to rest after dinner.

The next morning, Lin Yiran was sleeping soundly when suddenly someone pulled back her quilt and a cold wind blew in, causing her to shiver.

Lin Yiran was very angry. Who could be so wicked? When she saw Third Brother Lin blinking his innocent eyes at her, her anger suddenly subsided.

"Third brother, what are you doing? You're pulling my blanket off so early in the morning. It must be cold, okay?"

"I called you for a long time but you ignored me. I had no choice but to lift your quilt."

"Really? Did I sleep so soundly? Maybe I was just too tired." Lin Yiran shook his dizzy head.

"Okay, Xiao Ran, stop shaking it, or you might shake your head off. Hurry up and get dressed. After breakfast, we'll take a bullock cart to town to find a market for the soap."

"Are our whole family going?" "Except our father, everyone else is going." Third Brother Lin's excited voice unconsciously rose a degree.

"Oh, then I have to wash up quickly." Lin Yiran hurriedly washed her face and was dragged to the kitchen by Lin Sange.

I saw millet porridge, wild vegetable dumplings, and pickles already on the table.

Sitting next to him were Lin's father, Lin's mother, and Lin's second brother. It seemed that they had gotten up long ago and were waiting for him.

Lin Yiran greeted a few people embarrassedly.

"Let's eat," Father Lin took the lead and picked up a wild vegetable dumpling and took a bite.

Lin Yiran was about to take one too. "My dear, that vegetable dumpling is a bit bitter, so I made you some steamed egg custard."

Lin's mother took a bowl from the stove and put it on the table. Lin Yiran saw a large bowl of yellow egg custard.

I felt like my saliva was about to drop, and I cursed myself for being so useless. A bowl of egg custard made me so greedy.

I remember that I had a banquet in the past. Alas, a hero never brags about his past achievements!

Third Brother Lin's eyes lit up as he looked at the bowl of egg custard, but he still stiffly turned his gaze to the half bowl of millet porridge in his hand.

Watching Third Brother Lin's series of actions, Lin Yi placed the egg custard in the middle of the table and gave everyone a spoonful.

Mother Lin looked at the egg custard in the bowl and choked up, "My dear daughter is so sensible. You eat it. Mother doesn't like it. It smells like egg."

Lin's mother tried to return the egg custard in the bowl to Lin Yiran, "Just eat what your daughter gave you." Lin's father said with a gratified smile.

"Okay, let me eat it," he wiped the corners of his eyes while eating.

Seeing his mother like this, Brother Lin San secretly vowed to speed up his pace in making money.

Second Brother Lin wanted to pass the exam as a scholar as soon as possible so that he wouldn't have to pay land taxes and his family would have enough to eat.

The people with different thoughts finished their breakfast in silence, and Father Lin went to the field to weed.

Mother Lin took her three children to the village entrance to ride on Old Man Li's ox cart.
