"Who is that?" Qiu Hanqing turned his head and asked Qiu Yinong.

Without turning around, Qiu Yinong replied, "It's the eldest son of the Li family. He once came to my house and asked to marry me."

“After a few days of living like a human being, one forgets who he is.”

"What good girl would marry a slave? I don't hate him because he's a slave."

"But every time I go out, he comes up to harass me." Qiu Yinong frowned.

Qiu Hanqing turned his head again, but could no longer see anything.

"Next time if he dares to get close to you, I'll help you beat him up."

"Okay, thank you, second brother." Qiu Yinong's eyes were full of smiles. She was happy from the bottom of her heart.

Qiu Hanqing rubbed her head amusedly: "What's there to thank me for? I'm your second brother."

"Well, then my good second brother, I will need your help later."

"good."

The brother and sister returned to the village talking and laughing. The wood ash water had already been boiled and was ready for sedimentation.

"I'm back. The Zhao family grain and oil shop in town delivered these things half an hour ago." Qiu Hanyan pointed to the things in the kitchen.

Qiu Yinong smiled and said, "Don't worry, second brother, we bought these."

When she entered the kitchen and saw the rice, flour, vegetables and meat, Qiu Yinong couldn't help but twitch her lips.

After holding his forehead, he said, "Keep it."

Qiu Hanyan and Qiu Hanqing laughed out loud at the same time. Seeing Qiu Yinong looking at them, they quickly clenched their fists and pretended to cough.

Qiu Yinong shook her head, turned around and went out. She cleaned the jar, boiled it in boiling water and dried it.

"What should we do now?" Qiu Hanqing asked, rolling up his sleeves.

Qiu Yinong also rolled up her sleeves, picked up a wooden basin and walked into the house: "I'll prepare the oil first."

"Could you please help me filter the wood ash water a few more times, second brother or third brother?"

"No problem." The two of them responded and went out to get busy.

Qiu Yinong found a lot of linseed oil and shea butter in the space, as well as some processed silk cocoons and pearl powder.

With an idea in mind, she decided to make some goat milk silk soap and goat milk pearl soap in the initial stage.

Then make some mid-priced floral goat milk soaps and affordable goat milk soaps with the most common scent.

"Second brother, I want to build a small baking oven in the yard. Can you help me?" Qiu Yinong walked out of the room with a lot of things in her arms.

Qiu Hanqing hurried forward to help and took the thing in his own hands.

"Whatever you need, my second brother will prepare it later."

"Yesterday I pointed to a place and told you it was clay. Do you remember? Wait until my second brother gets some clay back and we can make some simple bricks first."

Qiu Hanqing nodded: "Okay, I'll go get it with Lao Si later."

"Thank you, second brother." Qiu Yinong thanked him happily.

Qiu Hanqing tapped her nose amusedly and said, "Silly girl, you're being polite to Second Brother again. The wood ash water has been filtered."

"Let it sit for a while and let it settle." Qiu Yinong glanced at Qiu Hanyan who was sorting his clothes.

Qiu Hanyan happened to look over, and Qiu Yinong quickly said, "Third brother, go back and have some rest and read!"

"You will be taking the provincial examination in a month, so you can't delay your exam."

"It's okay. I've almost finished writing all the policy papers. I might as well help you do something. It will make you more open-minded." Qiu Hanyan said with a smile.

Seeing this, Qiu Yinong stopped talking.

She planned to make condensed soap first, mix the oil, and put it in a large vat for later use.

Then take a clean wooden basin and pour the goat milk in the pottery jar into the basin.

She scooped out some caustic soda from a small clay pot that she had bought and kept in the house.

She previously made a video about handmade soap, and after it became popular, she made a lot of it to give away to her fans, so she bought a lot of caustic soda at that time.

It would take her a long time. As she was thinking, Qiu Yinong thought of something: "Xiao Tongzi."

"I'm here, master." The system responded quickly.

"Does your system have a system mall or something like that?" Qiu Yinong asked expectantly.

The system pondered for a moment, then said, "Insufficient authority. If the master wants to know, I can ask the main system."

"Okay." Qiu Yinong's interest disappeared instantly.

When caustic soda was added to the goat milk, the milk began to boil. Qiu Hanqing was shocked and didn't understand why the goat milk boiled by itself.

Qiu Yinong intervened calmly, and they stopped talking.

Then throw the clean silk into the goat milk and stir to melt until it is completely melted.

Qiu Yinong took out gauze and covered the big vat, and Qiu Hanli happened to come back.

"Fourth brother, come and help."

"I'm coming." Qiu Hanli quickly put down his things and ran over.

"How?"

Qiu Yinong demonstrated: "Just grab both sides like this."

"good."

Qiu Yinong grabbed the other two corners and asked Qiu Hanqing to pour the goat milk with melted silk onto the gauze.

The goat milk was completely injected into the oil, and Qiu Yinong instructed Qiu Hanqing to stir it with a clean wooden stick.

"Brother, this requires a lot of arm strength. You'll need to stir it constantly from now on. Thank you for your hard work."

"Don't worry, leave it to my second brother." Qiu Hanqing pounded his chest.

In the following time, Qiu Hanqing and Qiu Hanli took turns stirring, and finally finished stirring.

"The molds are here. We made ten in total. I wonder if they are enough?" Qiu Hansheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and pointed at the molds on the ground.

Qiu Yinong walked over and took a look, then gave Qiu Hansheng a thumbs up.

Although the patterns in the molds are simple, each mold is about one meter long and ten centimeters wide.

Polished so smooth, it's just amazing.

Put the saponified goat milk silk soap into the mold, place it in a cool place and wait for two days before demolding.

"Looks like we can't do the rest today."

"What's wrong?" The Qiu brothers were puzzled. Qiu Yinong explained that there were not enough molds, so they had to pause for the time being.

Then Qiu Yinong said to his eldest brother Qiu Hansheng, "Brother, please help me make a tool for cutting goat milk soap. It's something like this..."

"Okay, I think I understand what you mean." Qiu Hansheng nodded after listening to indicate that he understood.

Qiu Hanli looked at the sky and said, "Is it okay to have noodles for lunch?"

"Okay." Everyone agreed.

Qiu Hanli quickly washed his hands and went to the kitchen to knead the dough, while Qiu Yinong washed the peach blossoms.

Prepare half of it, dry it and soak it in floral oil, and grind the other half into powder and add it to soap as pigment.

When it was almost time for dinner, Lao Wu came back carrying a hoe.

"Fifth brother, you're back." Qiu Yinong waved at him happily.

When Qiu Hanchi saw the smile on her face, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"Fifth brother, didn't eldest brother say that the work in the fields has been done?" Qiu Yinong asked in confusion.

Qiu Hanchi smiled and said, "I have nothing to do at home anyway, so I loosened the soil on the ridge and weeded it."

"Fifth brother is really hardworking, but you will have to help at home from now on." Qiu Yinong said playfully.

Qiu Hanchi smiled and replied, "Okay, I'll follow my sister's arrangements."
