Lu Hua's face lit up with joy: "How embarrassing!" She said as she stretched out her hand.

Although Chen Mei is an aunt, when it comes to grabbing benefits for her family, she will not show mercy even if the people in front of her are her own mother or father, and will immediately reach out to take it.

Chen Mei, Tan Ying and others also followed suit...

So he only had a piece of sulfur soap, but there were seven or eight hands stretched out in front of him, and he would offend anyone he gave it to.

"Sanliang, bring me a knife." Lin Rui shouted.

"Hey, I'm coming!" Sanliang responded and brought the kitchen knife for cutting vegetables after a while.

Lin Rui first cut a large half for his own family, and divided the remaining half among the three families. If each family used it sparingly, it would be enough to wash the children's hair.

After being cut in half and distributed to each family, the pieces were only the size of a little finger, but everyone took them in their hands like treasures.

At this moment, Chen Mei looked at Lin Rui's short hair and exclaimed: "Oh, Rui Ge'er, you cut your hair!"

Lin Rui nodded and smiled: "Yes, it saves time, effort and worry, but it's a bit ugly."

Chen Mei thought of the soap she had just gotten, and her words immediately changed direction: "It's not ugly, not ugly at all. It looks very nice to me, refreshing and easy to take care of."

"Yes, yes, it looks great!"

Lin Rui's mouth twitched. Is this what it means to be unfaithful to someone who has taken advantage of you?

"Sanliang, call my parents and the others over to wash their hair." He said no matter what he could not fall asleep tonight with the smell of oily hair from Sanliang and his father sleeping on either side of him.

"Okay." After spending a long time with Lin Rui's family, Sanliang's personality gradually became more lively. He responded happily and walked towards the awning.

"What? Wash your hair?" Feng Zhenniang looked at Sanliang in confusion. She knew that he was sent by Lin Rui to inform him, but there was no soapberry and tea seed powder here. What should she use to wash her hair?

Sanliang handed the pale yellow soap in his hand to Feng Zhenniang and said, "Madam, the master said that this is the soap used by the nobles in the capital. It is very good for washing hair and bathing and removing dirt."

"This..." Feng Zhenniang didn't know where her son had pulled out this precious thing from. The peasants had never seen it before, so it must be very expensive. She refused it repeatedly, wanting to leave it to Lin Rui alone: ​​"No, no, you let Lin Rui keep it for himself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Dacui and Yu Lanhua's family in the opposite shed all walked excitedly towards the puddle with their pots in their hands. Chen Zhi and Chen Mei in the same rain shelter also walked in that direction with their children.

"Brother Rui gave me a small piece of soap. Let's use it while the weather is nice. We've been traveling and it's been rainy these days, and we stink."

"Who said it wasn't? My husband's feet were so stinking that it made me cry."

Feng Zhenniang suddenly looked at Sanliang and asked, "Did Rui'er give them the soap too?"

Sanliang looked at the old lady's gloomy face and scratched his head in embarrassment: "Yes."

Feng Zhenniang put down her work and held back her anger: "I have to go. It doesn't make sense for me, as a mother, to suffer while others enjoy it."

There are many small puddles like this in the forest, which are connected to each other and are only as high as an adult's calf at most. So they are safe.

Lin Rui watched his mother rush over. Before he could even say a word to her, she passed him by in a hurry, squatted in the puddle, and shouted, "Mu Tou, Niuniu, come to grandma, I'll wash your hair for you."

Niuniu trotted over. Feng Zhenniang untied her hair, wet it with water, and rubbed it with sulfur soap. It smelled a bit strange, but it really removed dirt. Niuniu's hair, like the adults', hadn't been washed in a long time. After applying the soap, no foam formed, but muddy dirt flowed out of her hair.

It took two washes to get it clean. Feng Zhenniang felt very distressed. The soap in her hand was not big to begin with, and it would definitely not be enough if she wanted to wash the hair of the rest of the family members.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but blame her poor and generous son. If his own family didn't have enough, why would he care about other people's families? It's just a meal without washing your hair. It won't kill you. Hasn't he been able to get through these days like this?

Although Lin Rui cut half of the sulfur soap, the sulfur soaps of the last two, Lin Changxi and Zhao Qing, were completely gone after he washed them.

Lin Changxi and Zhao Qing, the father-in-law and son-in-law, looked at each other in bewilderment. Their hair had already been taken off, so how could it be gone?

Lin Changxi pointed at Lin Changfa, Lin Changtai and the others and said, "How come they have enough? Didn't they say we have more soap than them?"

Yes, Lin Rui was also very curious. He walked over and found that several aunts had saponified this small piece of sulfur in a basin of water. A lot of foam was stirred in the basin, so they scooped up the foamy water and applied it on their heads. If it was not enough, they stirred it again. Repeating the process, it was almost enough shampoo for the whole family.

Lin Rui...sometimes I have to say that the wisdom of the ancients is truly infinite.

Whether it cleans cleanly or not is not the point for now, but everyone has experienced the feeling of using sulfur soap.

The method used at the home of the village head grandfather is even more unique. The process of mixing sulfur soap with water is the same, but they do not use the stirred foam to wash their hair. Instead, they bury their heads in the basin of soapy water one by one from small to large to wash their hair.

People in ancient times usually had waist-length hair. Lin Ziming and Lin Ziren had thick hair because they were young, so the soapy water became turbid after Lin Ziren washed his hair. So by the time Lin Changtai washed his hair last, the soapy water in the basin had become like muddy water, so turbid that no foam could be seen. If an uninformed person saw it, they would think it was muddy water.

Seeing this basin of muddy water, Lin Rui felt his hair itchy again. Is there any difference between washing his hair like this and not washing it at all? It might even be dirtier than not washing it at all.

Lin Changtai saw that Lin Rui was praising the usefulness of sulfur soap, saying that after washing his hair, the scalp was no longer irritated and his hair was very clean. Lin Rui was silent. Since he thought it was good, then okay!

After washing their hair, everyone let their hair down to dry. Their hair was disheveled, and the temperature in the forest was rising, so Lin Rui felt hot just looking at it.

Sanliang took the scissors and gave them to Lin Rui: "Master, please cut my hair too!"

Lin Rui looked at him in surprise: "Are you sure you want to cut it off?" Cutting hair is not a crime, but it is somewhat unorthodox. In modern terms, it may be better than streaking, and there are very few people who are willing to accept it.

As a modern man, he has no pressure and does not need to care about other people's opinions. He is a native of China.

Sanliang shook his head: "Cut it off. I also want to be as free as my master." His long hair was still draped behind his head and dripping with water. The clothes on his back were soaked. Besides, his master had the courage to cut his hair, so what was he afraid of!

Seeing that Sanliang was insisting, Lin Rui took the scissors and started to work, and soon the second hedgehog appeared.

The uncles and cousins ​​were all jealous and eager to follow their example, but were stopped by their parents, who whispered, "No rules!"
