Chapter 63: Make paper and sell soap!
Oh, and we also need to share the soap!
There was only a small bottle of rose soap in total, and the two of them had to split it in half.
The two of them used some foam sparingly and washed their whole bodies, then waited for their wives happily.
Then, we had a wonderful night.
But when I washed my face the next day, I found that the soap was gone?
"Wife, where is the soap?" Mu Jingyun asked.
“It’s all gone.”
Yu Miaomiao had been tormented enough and lay lazily on the bed, not wanting to get up.
Mu Jingyun was shocked: "You've already washed with such a big soap?"
Yu Miaomiao rolled her eyes: "It's just a small sample pack, how can it be big?"
"Wife, do you have any more?" Mu Jingyun came up and asked, "Tonight, I want to try goat milk soap."
"Yes, I do. But I can't stand you tossing me like this." Yu Miaomiao protested, "Besides, there aren't that many small condoms."
Mu Jingyun used three last night!
It is indeed quite impressive. If I go to the county town frequently to get it, I will be laughed at by the staff.
So, he blushed and said, "I try to be moderate."
Yu Miaomiao would never believe him! She threatened lazily: "If I get pregnant, I can't move for at least a year."
"ah?"
Mu Jingyun felt unwell.
Thinking of his sister-in-law's previous bleeding, his heartstrings were tense.
How can we have children when it’s time for fun?
But there are not enough condoms, what should I do?
Mu Jingyun kept thinking about this question, and he had no appetite for the chicken and dumpling soup for breakfast.
Seeing that he was in a trance, Mu Jingzhou asked, "Second brother, what's wrong with you?"
"Third brother, let's go buy some condoms!" said Mu Jingyun.
Mu Jingzhou: ………
It turns out that even my second brother’s house doesn’t have enough!
The two brothers hit it off immediately: "Let's not go to work today, let's go to the county town again."
"good!"
The two brothers didn't work, and Old Man Mu was very dissatisfied: "It's not hot in the morning, earn work points and then go to the temple to rest."
"Dad, don't worry about it." Mu Jingyun said.
Old Man Mu glared at the second son angrily and decided to go on strike as well: "You're all lazy, huh? I'm not going either!"
Mu Jingyuan held the hoe, not knowing whether to go or not.
"Mom, why don't we all take a day off?" Li Lan blinked. "My second brother's wife said we can cut the soap today."
After thinking it over, Old Mrs. Mu decided not to go to work.
Rest for the whole family!
Su Tang and Yu Miaomiao made paper first.
The bark, bamboo strips, etc. have been fermented overnight and can be cooked.
Then pound the wood pulp, mix the alkali water with plant ash and add it to the wood pulp... Finally, use the dense sieve made by Mu Jingyun to filter it into a thin layer, put small wild flowers on it. Wait for it to dry in the shade and it will become paper!
It seems complicated, but it is actually very simple.
Mu Jingzhou will understand it after reading it once.
Li Lan was amazed: "So it becomes paper after doing this? Then why put flowers on the paper?"
"Can this be used to do homework for Lao Wu? Are you going to sell it for money?"
“…”
Old Mrs. Mu also looked on eagerly.
She no longer responded with sarcasm and criticism as she did in the past, but instead prayed for success in her heart!
Soap and papermaking, the family now has two new businesses! Are you still worried about not having a prosperous life?
After the paper is done, it’s time to cut the soap.
Su Tang took out all the soaps in the house and displayed them.
When Mrs. Mu saw the finished soap for the first time, her eyes widened: "It smells so good and looks like jade."
Old Man Mu and Mu Jingyuan also came over to watch and marveled at it.
"The soap from the supply and marketing cooperative can't be compared with this at all. Second sister-in-law, you and third sister-in-law are really amazing!" said Li Lan.
Yu Miaomiao did not accept the sugar-coated bullets, and she and Su Tang carefully measured the size and then marked it.
Finally, after making sure that the sizes were consistent, he used the thin wire that Mu Jingzhou found to cut it.
A palm-sized piece of soap was placed in the sieve, it was as smooth as jade and had a fragrant smell.
It's just a sieve of money!
Li Lan stared at the remaining scraps with desire.
I thought there wouldn't be much leftovers, but now it seems like there will be a small bowl! It will be enough for her to use for a while.
"Third sister-in-law, your soaps are so well made, let me pick one first." Li Lan said.
Old Mrs. Mu said bluntly, "I want one rose and one goat milk."
"mother!"
Mu Jingyun was the first to object.
He and the third child haven't had their turn yet! Last night, they only used a small piece to try it out.
Besides, their wives used a lot of soap when taking a bath. They had to keep at least two bars each!
With this calculation, there are six less pieces that can be sold!
Their wives would definitely disagree!
"Why are you yelling? Your father and I worked so hard to raise you. What's wrong with using your soap?" Old Lady Mu yelled, "I haven't even said I'd send some to your grandmother's house too!"
Li Lan actually wanted a few pieces so that she could look good when she went back to her parents' home to visit relatives, but she knew that was impossible.
So, her target is those scraps.
Unexpectedly, Su Tang actually said, "The whole piece should be kept for sale, and the scraps should be used at home."
"Third brother's wife, there are only a few leftovers, not enough for the whole family. Besides, it's not easy to divide them." Li Lan said quickly.
“Good score.”
Su Tang found an enamel bowl, put all the leftovers of goat milk soap into it, and melted it at high temperature: "Won't it become a big block? Cut it into four pieces later. One piece for each of our four families."
No one was satisfied.
Old Mrs. Mu wanted a beautiful finished product so that she could show it off.
The second and third Mu Lao thought the amount was too little, not enough for them to wash for a few days. They wanted the happiness of last night to last forever!
Li Lan sighed as she watched only a quarter of the scraps that she could have owned were left.
"Su Tang, I'm here to buy soap. I smelled the fragrance next door just now. Did you cut the soap?" Gao Chunyan came in happily with money.
When I saw the finished product in the sieve, I screamed.
"What a beautiful soap! It smells so good! It will definitely make your skin white and beautiful!"
Li Lan woke up from her dream: "Yes! Yu Miaomiao and Su Tang have fair and tender skin, is it because of their long-term use of soap?"
She also wants to be white and beautiful!
That little bit of scraps is not enough!
Li Lan poked her husband first, then stood up and said with a smile: "I'll buy two too."
Mu Jingyuan looked at his wife as if she were an idiot: "Why are you crazy? What business can a family discuss? If you want it, let the second or third son give it to you."
"No." Mu Jingyun spoke first, "Brother, these finished products are to be sold, and we will use the leftovers at home. If you don't like them, you don't have to use them."
"Second brother, can't I buy it?" Li Lan said angrily.
"Okay." Mu Jingyun stretched out his hand to ask for money. "Which one do you want, sister-in-law?"
Li Lan: ………
Do you really want to take her money?
"Su Tang, here's the money. As we agreed that day, rose soap is 20 cents and goat milk soap is 25 cents." Gao Chunyan paid 45 cents and got a piece of rose soap and a piece of goat milk soap.
Because the wrapping paper had not been made yet, Su Tang found some leftover goat milk soap and gave it to her: "Just use it in the morning and evening. Apply some foam with clean water and then apply it on your face. Don't use too much."
"Okay! If you find anything good in the future, tell me. If I like it, I'll buy it." Gao Chunyan happily took the soap and left, not forgetting to say to Li Lan, "Sister-in-law, I suggest you buy both!"
