Chapter 43: Making Soap

Huo Jinqian glanced at her, turned and left. His heart was still pounding and he was still scared.

Others don’t know how scared he was just now. He was afraid that something might happen to her. His heart felt like it was suffocating.

He was afraid that if he didn't leave now, he would be unable to resist the urge to beat her up.

Huo Jinhao, Huo Jinting, Huo Jinqing and other experienced people naturally understood Huo Jinqian's thoughts.

He likes his sister, but she is already engaged. He is unable to get her love and feels very sad.

Seeing their sister's behavior just now, they, as brothers, were all terrified, not to mention that he, who loved his sister, must have been terrified just now.

Gao Zhijun looked at Huo Jinqian who was leaving, feeling puzzled. Why did he leave?

Did you do something wrong, or say something wrong?

What a strange person.

Although she felt a little uncomfortable, Gao Zhijun didn't take it to heart. All she had to do now was to go back and fetch some water and wash herself thoroughly.

My body is already smelly. If I don’t wash it, my skin will rot.

"Brother, go get a bucket and some water. I stink and need to wash."

Gao Zhijun said to Huo Jinhao anxiously.

"Okay, let's go back and get the bucket and some water so we can wash my sister's hair and take a bath."

When Huo Jinhao heard that his sister wanted to take a bath, he prepared to take Jinting and Jinqing back to get a bucket and fetch water to give his sister a bath.

After the villagers' excitement, they immediately realized that they had to fetch water to take back for their families.

When everyone was about to go back, Huo Jinqian came over with his family and villagers carrying wooden buckets. He walked past Gao Zhijun, came to the well, and was the first to draw water.

The herb diggers from the Huo family have all returned, and the men are carrying wooden buckets of water.

Gao Zhijun was the first person to take a bath, and Huo Jinqian filled two buckets of water for her.

Originally, I wanted to boil the water and take a bath with hot water, but Gao Zhijun disagreed. The weather was already so hot, wouldn’t it be even hotter if I used hot water?

Holding the clothes, Gao Zhijun waited for Huo Jinqian to put two buckets of water in the bathtub. Only after he left did she take off her clothes.

Gao Zhijun let her hair down, put soap nuts in water, rubbed out the juice, and then started washing her hair.

It would be great if there was a shampoo that could leave your hair clean and with a fresh scent.

I resigned myself to my fate and washed my hair with soapy water, scratching it carefully left and right until my hair was clean, then I started to take a shower.

While I was taking a bath, two village women came in, took off their clothes and started taking a bath happily.

After Gao Zhijun came out of the shower, she felt much more relaxed.

Uh, taking a bath is so comfortable, I feel like I’m alive again.

When she didn't take a shower, she felt itchy on her head and body, and felt uncomfortable all over.

Now? I feel so much more relaxed.

Thinking of soap, Gao Zhijun decided to make soap and scented soap.

These two are simple and require lard.

We slaughtered two pigs today and there is a lot of lard. We can’t let the villagers waste it.

After Gao Zhijun came out, Zhang Chan went over to take a shower.

"Uncle Lizheng, where is the lard? Leave some for me, I need it."

When she saw the village head, Gao Zhijun asked anxiously.

When he heard someone was asking for lard, he still had one piece left, so he said, "There's one more. Where is it? I'll take you there to see if you have enough."

Gao Zhijun followed the village head to check out the lard. It was a large piece, more than enough for use. "That's enough. I'll take it back."

Gao Zhijun thanked the head of the village and took the lard back.

The Huo family lined up to take a bath. After Gao Zhijun finished bathing her nephew, she started making soap.

Wash the mugwort leaves and use some Polygonum multiflorum. Pestle the mugwort leaves and Polygonum multiflorum in water, and cook them together with the boiled lard.

Once done, place in the freezer before cutting into pieces.

After making the soap, Gao Zhijun began to make medicine.

I dug up a lot of herbs these past two days, enough to make a lot of pills.

Huo Jinqian had been fetching water for his family to bathe. He saw Gao Zhijun fiddling with something. After fetching two buckets of water for his mother and Jinfeng, he gave the buckets to his second brother and went to see if there was anything he could help with.

"What are you doing? What are these? What are they used for?"

Huo Jinqian came to Gao Zhijun and pointed at the soap and asked her.

Gao Zhijun knew what he was talking about and said without even looking up, "That's called soap. You can use it for washing your hair, taking a bath, or even washing clothes. You can use it tomorrow when it's cold."

"Soap can be used for bathing and washing hair, is that true?"

Huo Jinqian came to the soap drying area and wanted to touch it, but was frightened by Gao Zhijun's cry: "Don't touch it, it hasn't solidified yet."

He retracted his outstretched hand and said sheepishly, "I'm sorry, I didn't know I had to solidify."

Gao Zhijun still didn't look up, doing her work seriously, and said coldly: "It doesn't matter, ignorance is not a crime."

"Zhijun, what are you doing?"

Huo Jinqian pointed at what she was doing and asked her what she was doing.

"Making medicine."

Gao Zhijun said it briefly and concisely.

"Making medicine? Do you need my help?"

Huo Jinqian felt disappointed and sad when he saw Gao Zhijun didn't even look at him.

It was really just my wishful thinking. She didn't like me at all, not even a little bit.

Gao Zhijun said without thinking: "No, I'll do it."

Gao Zhijun didn't dislike Huo Jinqian, she just felt that pharmaceutical manufacturing was complicated and tedious, so she didn't need his help.

Huo Jinqian felt even more lost and sad when he was disliked in public.
