The years when I opened a farmhouse in my hometown

After all the villagers who came to help finished eating and collected some wood tiles, they walked back one after another.

The tourists carried back the leftover bowls and chopsticks, wooden barrels, and jars of pickles. Everyone was talking and laughing, especially when they recalled that the villagers were holding the large bowls, and they ate them one by one. There was not a single bit left , Really really hungry.

Shen Xinyue and the other girls walked back with the bowls and chopsticks after eating. They thought it was quite interesting to help out today. Originally, they came early, which delayed the construction of the farmhouse. Now they can help a little, and they feel that it is finally worked a little bit.

Shen Xinyue couldn't help asking Shen Xiaoyun: "Anchor, let me ask when everyone starts working. I'll come over tomorrow morning to help."

Shen Xiaoyun glanced at the long-legged girl in surprise, and said with a smile: "Generally, work starts a little after seven o'clock, but people here get up very early, usually at six o'clock, or after six o'clock, come to my house Meals are only around 06:30." So if you want to come to help, you have to get up after six o'clock, but Shen Xiaoyun knows very well that young people like to stay up late, play mobile phones at eleven or twelve o'clock, and like to sleep late in the morning. It's rare to get up so early.

"Ah, it's so early." Shen Xinyue was startled.

The other tourists who wanted to help were silent, it was too early, they couldn't get up.Even if they usually have to go to work, they delay getting up until the last moment. If they don't go to work, they usually sleep until eight or even nine o'clock.

The young master has been here for three days, gradually getting used to the routine here, and he is the first to stand up.

"I'll get up, I'll come to help tomorrow morning. In fact, the Internet here is really bad, the Internet is very slow, and there is nothing fun at night. I went to bed at eight o'clock. I went to bed early and woke up early, and after going to bed early It’s very comfortable to wake up in the morning, the air in the mountains is really fresh, as if washed with water, you can try it tomorrow morning.” Actually, they don’t need to try it, they have obviously felt the air is very fresh since they came here, it is no exaggeration to say that every breath It feels like the chest cavity has been washed with water, clean, with a trace of coolness, just like drinking a bottle of ice-cold Coke in summer, the heart, spleen and lungs are cool and comfortable.

In this environment, the spirit can not help but relax, very comfortable.

Shen Xinyue thought about it, and felt that she should be able to do it, and what brother Xiaosa said made sense, she went to bed early and woke up early, and her own biological clock was not very good, so she took advantage of coming here to play and correct it.

"Then I'll come to help tomorrow morning." At that time, she had set the alarm clock in advance, and she lived at the anchor's house, which was relatively close.

The girls around Shen Xinyue whispered around her, to the effect that, can you get up?You forgot, you are the one who likes to sleep in late among the few of us, blah blah blah...

As for the boys who are not diligent in themselves and do not consciously do housework, they watch their eyes, their noses and their hearts, and silently take the bowl and wooden bucket in their hands to the sink to help them scrub.

It's just that there are floating oily spots in these bowls and wooden barrels, and the oily spots are more obvious when they are washed with cold well water.

"Anchor, where is your dish soap? I didn't see it when I lost it. These bowls and chopsticks are very oily, so I wash them directly, and they don't seem to be clean." When such a situation happened, a boy went to the kitchen to look for it. , As a result, I searched everywhere, but I didn't see the bottle of dish soap.

"There is no dish soap at home, only saponins and soap." Shen Xiaoyun took out a strip of half-yellow paste from a small groove under the eaves, and tore off a few black ones from the wall. Come about centimeters of beans.

Those beans are in strings, like chili corn hanging on the wall. After they are threaded, they are tied with ropes, and a few can be picked off when needed.

"This is saponin. It can also be used to wash dishes. It will produce bubbles. We often use it to wash clothes and hair." Shen Xiaoyun explained.

The friends from the city were a little stunned. They really didn't know that this bean-like thing could be used as a dish soap.

"Of course, this is just for you to see. This kind of dried saponins can't be used yet. We will boil it in clay pots beforehand, and boil it in a pot. It is usually used for washing clothes and hair." More often That is, after cooking, leave more firewood in the stove, use an earthen pot to simmer one pot, use three or four at a time, fill up the water, simmer like chicken soup ribs, and take it out when the next meal is cooked .

Tourists are very curious and want to see what kind of alternative version of dishwashing liquid is boiled with saponins.

"Wait, I'll get it."

Shen Xiaoyun returned to the house, and took out a gray earthen jar from the open-air yard in the atrium, next to the tubs for laundry.

In order to make it easier for everyone to see more clearly, Shen Xiaoyun also brought a small bowl and poured more than half of it into the small bowl.

The original version of dish soap boiled with saponins is a semi-solid, light yellow, slightly brown liquid that feels slippery and smells of a plant.

"This can wash my hair? Can the anchor give me some? I want to wash my hair right now." Shen Xinyue said in surprise, she actually brought shampoo, and she had heard of things like saponins, It is said that washing the hair is very good for the scalp, it nourishes the scalp and nourishes the hair, so you don't have to worry about itchy scalp or dandruff.Shen Xinyue washed her hair when she came here, but she has often dyed and permed her hair in recent years, not to mention the damaged hair, if she didn't wash her hair more diligently, her scalp would start to get oily...

"Okay, if you want to wash, you can wash it now. Well, you can use this jar of soap locust liquid to wash your hair. You have boiled water at home, and it is in a thermos. If you wash your hair, use two basins or wooden barrels. Okay." Seeing that everyone wanted to wash their hair, Shen Xiaoyun simply put this jar of soap locust liquid, which weighed about two catties, on the side of the sink.

Turning around, I went to the haystack not far away to grab some straw, twisted it into small twists, and gave it to the handsome guy squatting by the pool to take a bath.

"It's enough to wash your hair with soap locust liquid, and plant ash for bathing, I'll get it."

"Plant ash? Is it the one I thought?" The boy who was about to reach out to the soap locust liquid had question marks all over his face.

He was stunned, that black thing can still wash dishes?

"Maybe, I'm a little scared all of a sudden, will it get dirtier after washing (////)" They really didn't know there was such a thing.

When they saw that Shen Xiaoyun had really packed a dustpan full of plant ash in a small dustpan, the friends suddenly became very generous.

Especially seeing that Shen Xiaoyun grabbed a small handful of plant ash and touched it around the bowl in the pool, scrubbed it back and forth a few times, then passed it in the water for a while, and the big oily bowl instantly became dry and clean It's clean.

Shen Xiaoyun couldn't help laughing at the stunned tourists.

"Actually, plant ash is really a good thing. It's quite clean. These are the ash after burning firewood, and it's been sterilized at high temperature. It's not worse than detergent, but it's ugly. We used to have wounds that were difficult to heal, so we just Sew a cloth bag with cloth, put some plant ash in it and press it on the wound to avoid infection and bleeding, and the effect is also very good. Now, the conditions are good, we will use this plant ash to wash some difficult-to-clean tableware, or sprinkle it on the field, Bury it in the vegetable field and use it like fertilizer." Seeing Shen Xiaoyun scrubbing the dishes with plant ash like this, other tourists also followed suit. Simply rub it, and the palms are immediately refreshed.

"Hey, it's really amazing. Just rub it like this, and your hands will be clean, and it will be washed faster than dishwashing liquid." The boy was very pleasantly surprised, as if he had discovered something important, and he didn't dislike the ashes at all. Dirty or not.

If you wash the dishes with dish soap, the bubbles need to be washed several times with water.

And use these plant ash, scrub with a small straw twisted brush, wash it twice, every bowl is clean, refreshing, without any oil stains.

"Really clean."

"It's the first time I know that plant ash has such an effect."

"I know this. I used to see my grandma use this to brush the bottom of the pot and wash the lid of the pot. It used to be that kind of big pot. It was washed once a long time, and the dirt was very thick. I remember that my grandma used plant ash to brush it shiny. "The boy recalled that when he was young, he was taken by his grandmother and lived in the countryside for a long time.

"By the way, I remember that my grandma still washed dishes with mud from the pond, and it seemed to be quite clean..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he found that other friends looked at him with surprised eyes.

"Really? Mud?"

"If you say that, how do you tell me to eat?"

"The silt in the pond can also be washed, that is, the kind of sandy silt, the kind of silt that is delicate, and the silt is washed repeatedly by water, it is actually very clean, brush the bottom of the pot or something, tie it with straw Xiao Zha, the brush is very clean." Seeing the tourists' thirst for knowledge, Shen Xiaoyun also shared some science with everyone.

The boys here are cleaning the bowls, chopsticks, and wooden barrels with plant ash, while the girls and the middle-aged women who came over at noon are holding water bottles, washbasins, and cups in the middle. In the open-air courtyard, I started to fetch water to wash my hair.

After the water temperature was adjusted, several girls helped each other, they rinsed their hair with warm water from the washbasin with a water cup, touched the soap locust solution boiled by Shen Xiaoyun at home, Shen Xinyue and another girl started to wash their hair together.

I only applied a little bit of the light yellow, oily soap locust liquid, and rubbed it gently on the hair, and very delicate bubbles appeared soon.Moreover, these bubbles are very rich, and it feels very comfortable when rubbing the hair, and there is a fresh fragrance of plants.This fresh fragrance is different from the one brought by shampoo, the fragrance is very fragrant, very soft, and the smell is not greasy.

"Help me see if there are a lot of bubbles." Shen Xinyue lowered her head, bent over, and rubbed her hair full of bubbles.

The good friends around her were also very excited to see it, and they also wanted to try such a natural shampoo without any additives.

"There are a lot of bubbles, and it smells delicious. I'll wash my hair later."

"It looks really good. It's amazing. It's the first time I've seen a shampoo made from beans."

"Didn't you listen to the anchor, you can also wash clothes. I just checked on the Internet, and saponin can indeed be used to wash hair. It is especially good for scalp and hair."

"Then I'll try it in a while. If it works, I hope the anchor can sell me a little bit. I'll take it back and boil it myself, and use it slowly when I go home."

A few girls got together and chattered together, Shen Xinyue's hair was almost rubbed, and after washing it several times with clean water, she wiped her hair with the towel she brought.

"How is it? Did you wash it clean?" My friend came over to ask Shen Xinyue how she felt. At the same time, she brushed away her wet hair and found that her scalp was clean and her hair was smooth.

Shen Xinyue was quite satisfied, "It's very good, it's very refreshing, and the hair is not tangled. I just combed it with a comb, and it's not bad."

Not worse than the shampoo you bought.

"Then I'll try it too, and help me shower in the water later." After the girl finished speaking, she put down the hair rope, tied up her clothes, and adjusted the temperature of the water.

In the end, other boys also joined the ranks of washing their hair with soap locust liquid. They were careless and didn't bother to add water, so they directly washed with well water, touched a little soap locust liquid, and washed their hair refreshingly.

The boy's hair is short, and he wipes it with a towel, and it dries quickly, with a fragrance of plants.

"Pretty good, the hair feels smooth and the scalp is washed very clean." And there is no dandruff after drying.

After washing their hair, it was getting dark outside. Fortunately, there were stars and moons at night, so it wasn't too dark. They stood outside the courtyard and planned to get some wind before returning to their respective places of residence, but they were stopped by Shen Xiaoyun's parents.

"We made some stewed noodles, come over and eat some, thank you for this afternoon." Mother Shen dragged Shen Xinyue and the others into the kitchen.

"Auntie, we ate in the afternoon, and I'm not hungry right now." Shen Xinyue was a little embarrassed.

"Yeah, we're really not hungry."

Shen's mother and Shen's father pulled them to find a stool to sit down, and grandma and the others brought a bowl of braised noodles with hot and sour bamboo shoots. At the same time, they also saw that there were thin slices of noodles in the noodles, which were fat and thin. Especially the fat part, the shiny bacon.

Each piece of bacon was sliced ​​very large and thin, and mixed with the crispy yellow wide noodles, it was oily and fragrant, just smelling it, it felt delicious.

There are not only bamboo shoots, bacon, dried beans, dried eggplant slices, and dried lettuce in the stewed noodles, which have absorbed enough soup and become soft and delicious.

At first, I wanted to decline again, saying that my stomach was full, but seeing the appetizing braised noodles, smelling the hot and sour smell in the air, and the meaty smell of bacon, their throats were itchy, and their mouths were crazily secreting The saliva, the stomach and intestines are also running faster.

Especially when the enthusiastic uncles and aunts stuffed chopsticks into their hands and were pressed to sit on the chairs, they felt it was suffering at that moment.

I just helped with a little work, so the owner’s stuff is too good (////)

Then, he turned his head to see the reaction of the other friends, and his eyes popped out when he saw it.

One by one said not to eat, but they ate faster than anyone else.

"Thank you uncle, your braised noodles are delicious." Of course, the bacon is really fragrant, and it goes perfectly with the sour pepper!
