In the year of disaster in the book, the villain girl is the real winner

After Xu Yushi finished her meal, He Qinglu helped her take the bowl out and wash it, and then she went to find He Qinglu.

He Qinglu couldn't keep anything in her heart. Although she was a little sad for a while because her mother gave the money she and her father had saved to the Xu family, but when she saw that her grandmother didn't borrow any money when she came to the He family and the crisis at home was resolved, she put her worries behind her and happily followed He Qiudi around and helped with the work.

Because of the increase in orders, the family made a lot more money today. The adults also forgot about their previous unpleasantness and started to get busy with smiles on their faces.

Jin Cuihua was worried that there would not be enough manpower, so she suggested that she ask her brothers to come to her house to help make soap before the autumn harvest, and then let them go back after the autumn harvest.

Old Mrs. He agreed and said she would pay them fifty cents a day each.

Jin Cuihua was so happy that she thanked him repeatedly.

Dalang and Sanlang are also there.

Wei Sixian, along with Mrs. Lin, He Qingshu, and Erlang and his sister, also helped.

There are many people.

He Qinglu was called away by He Qingya, and no one paid much attention to it.

She was the youngest and couldn't help much if she stayed here. She wanted to go and help He Qingya with the work, so He Qiudi followed her.

He Qingya took He Qinglu to herd cattle and collect grass for pigs, and asked her what happened in Licheng.

He Qinglu has a good relationship with her sister, and her aunt didn't tell her not to tell her sister anything. Since her sister asked, she told her sister everything she saw and heard.

After listening to what He Qinglu said.

He Qingya fell into deep thought.

First, she didn't expect that her father and uncle would receive so many soap orders during this trip to Licheng.

If the business is stable, the He family can earn more than one hundred or two hundred taels every month just by selling soap.

If they could get the soap formula, their second branch would no longer have to worry about food and clothing.

Even if it involves great risks, the benefits that can be gained make the risk worth taking.

Second, the status during the banquet.

The prefect of Lizhou was actually present at the banquet.

Yan Shi was so young that he could not only have the county magistrate as his follower, but also the prefect as his follower. I'm afraid Yan Shi's status was higher than she and A Niang had previously speculated.

And he was so nice to his sister-in-law during the banquet.

During the banquet, he might love her and accept her as his younger sister-in-law's concubine.

Between cousin and Yanshi.

She was caught in a dilemma.

However, it is definitely a good idea to prepare for everything. She will go with whoever works best for her.

After listening to He Qinglu's story about what she saw and heard in Li Cheng, He Qingya said, "Qinglu, the soap business at home has been very good recently, and my aunt and the others are very busy. Why don't we help them more?"

"Okay."

"Then..." He Qingya guided, "Since we want to help, we have to know the process of making soap, right? Auntie will be good to you. When Auntie makes soap, you can watch the whole process by the side. Auntie will not drive you away. When you write down the process and tell me, we will learn how to make soap, and then give Auntie and Grandma a surprise, so that Grandma will forgive Auntie, okay?"

He Qinglu tilted her head and thought: "Is this not a good idea? When my aunt was working, she didn't even watch me."

"Grandma is grandma, and you are you. Aunt cares about you so much, don't you want to share the burden for her? When the two of us learn how to make complete soaps, can't we help Aunt and help the He family make money? Aunt loves us so much, she will definitely be happy to see us trying so hard to help and do our part. Besides, we are originally members of the He family, and we will not tell anyone else about the entire process of making soap. Qinglu, can you tell anyone else?"

He Qinglu shook her head firmly: "No."

"So do you want to make my aunt happy?"

"miss you!"

"Then do you want your mother to be forgiven?"

"miss you!"

He Qingya smiled and patted her head: "Qinglu, that's right. By the way, we have to learn to make soap secretly. Don't tell my aunt yet. Don't tell anyone. After we learn it, we will give my aunt and grandma a surprise, okay?!"

"Okay! I understand! I won't tell anyone because we want to give my aunt and grandma a surprise!"

When He Qinglu followed him like a tail, curious about this and that, He Qiudi guessed what was going on.

Because He Huaiping almost fell out with Xu Yushi.

Xu Yushi will fight back.

Her best counterattack, besides using the baby in her belly, was to get the He family's soap formula.

Wei and He Qingshu wanted to learn how to make soap as soon as they found out how to make it.

After more than a month, He Qiudi didn't care whether they learned or not.

Because she knew that He Qingshu and Wei had no relevant knowledge of chemistry, even if they knew the general process, they would not be able to guess the specific details.

Chemical experiments.

A slight difference can make a difference of a thousand miles.

Unless a blind cat catches a dead mouse, He Qiudi doesn't think they can figure it out.

The same reason.

He Qiudi didn't think so either. She just needed to explain some basics to He Qinglu, and Xu Yushi and He Qingya were able to understand the essence of making soap from these steps.

The concentration of boiled wood ash.

The ratio and temperature of lye water and hot oil.

The proportion of salt.

and many more.

These are all factors that affect the making of soap.

Although He Qinglu tried hard to conceal her motives, after He Qiudi's indirect questioning and based on Qinglu's expression and reaction, it was not difficult for Qiudi to guess that it was He Qingya who asked Qinglu to inquire about the soap-making process.

Since it was He Qingya who took the lead, He Qiudi did not hide anything and slowly taught Qinglu the steps that could be told to others.

Anyway, when Xu Yushi came back from Lan County, she was probably thinking about the soap formula.

I didn't do anything for some time and didn't send He Qinglu to inquire about the formula. It must be because Xu Yushi hasn't found the opportunity to steal the formula yet.

just now.

He Huaiping was almost in a falling out with her, and she couldn't care less.

This approach is consistent with Xu Yushi's personality.

After returning from Licheng.

The He family was busy until dark, but they still hadn't made soap from the fatty oil they bought from Licheng.

Jin Cuihua has asked someone to go back to her parents' home to take a letter and asked her brother, the He family, for help.

The next morning, two laborers, the uncle and the cousin from the Jin family, came to help with the work at the He family.

It rained before the autumn harvest.

The people in the surrounding villages were all busy working in the fields.

The Jin family sent two important laborers to help at once, and they valued the relationship with the He family, so they put in so much effort to help.

In order to meet the soap orders, He Huaiping had to go to the neighboring Pei County to buy fat early in the morning, while He Huaian went to Ningyuan County to buy fat.

With the help of Uncle Jin and cousin, the He family's small soap workshop can produce three to four hundred kilograms of pork fat and more than a thousand bars of soap every day.

At this rate, the batch of goods for the banquet could be delivered to him before the end of the autumn harvest.

After adapting to the rhythm of making soap, He Qiudi began to study making perfumed soap.

She was a skilled soap maker and quickly made the first batch of soaps.

It is a soap with a pomegranate color and a styrax scent.

After he succeeded, he made several hundred yuan in a row. He kept one hundred yuan for Yan Shi and planned to sell the rest at the grocery store.

When He Huaian asked about the price, He Qiudi said it would be priced at one hundred coins.

"So expensive?"

Ordinary soap costs only fifteen cents, and the cost is around five cents.

The cost of soap is less than 15 wen, but it is sold for 110 wen. This is a huge profit among huge profits.

When Wei Sixian and the others heard the price given by He Qiudi, they couldn't help but stretch their necks to listen to the reasons given by He Qiudi.

I wonder if the soap can be sold since it’s so expensive.

If it could be sold, it would be a huge sum of money.
