Chapter 238 Coconut Oil
Mrs. Liao screamed, giving goosebumps to everyone around her.
The hair on our body is given by our parents. Ancient people would generally only trim their hair slightly. Except for monks, no one would cut off so much hair in one go.
Mrs. Liao was completely devastated at this point. Her son's problems were nothing. Her hair was the most important thing.
When she thought about what she was like now, Mrs. Liao screamed and immediately ran back into the house, closing the door tightly.
Everyone outside burst into laughter, and no one noticed that one of the people lying on the ground had a trembling face and clenched teeth.
I was clearly awake but I dared not open my eyes.
This is Mrs. Liao’s son.
He woke up when the villagers read the words on the door, and when he heard the last sentence, he almost wanted to die on the spot.
His most secret was exposed. He would never be able to marry again and would be laughed at by the villagers.
It's suffocating just to think about it.
It’s all Jiang Cao’s dad’s fault!!
The old village chief glanced at the father and son lying on the ground, and a hint of impatience flashed across his eyes. He knew that the father and son were awake, but they just couldn't open their eyes in front of so many people.
Have some shame.
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place.
When they bought the daughter-in-law, they told them to treat her well. But she bullied them every day.
Isn't retribution coming now?
As for people, whether they do evil or not, God is watching them.
The old village chief cleared his throat and sent all the villagers out.
"Okay, okay, we've seen all the excitement, it's time to get back to work. Are you all done at home?"
As soon as the old village chief opened his mouth, the villagers dispersed immediately.
However, even though everyone had dispersed, the embarrassing incident of Mrs. Liao's family spread throughout the village at an even faster speed.
Jiang Wan learned about this from the villagers' discussion when she went out to catch the sea, and she was filled with admiration.
She had heard from Anan that Grandpa Tietou wanted to teach Jiang Caofu's family a lesson, but she had never expected it to be in this way.
Cutting her hair was already a relief, but she also made Jiang Cao's incompetent husband a dead person in the whole village.
This punishment will probably be unforgettable forever.
You deserve it...
If you say you are not capable of this, then just live your life by yourself and don't harm other girls.
He bought a girl to take the blame for his inability to have children, but he didn't treat her well. Tsk tsk, now he really has all the blame.
Jiang Wan felt a little regretful that she had slept too long today, otherwise she would have been able to go and see the excitement.
I wonder if the words on the door have been wiped off if I go there after I finish catching up with the sea?
"Why!!"
Jiang Wan was distracted for a moment and stepped into a pit, almost spraining her ankle.
I didn't notice that I had followed the gossiping aunties to the coconut grove.
The coconut groves were as tall and lush as usual, and most of the trees had plenty of coconuts.
Thanks to the climate on the island, coconuts are ripe and can be picked all year round. However, they can only be picked once a year.
As long as there are enough coconut trees, piles of coconuts will ripen every day.
Jiang Wan's gaze fell on the ground not far away.
There were several fresh coconuts that had been opened, and the coconut milk inside had been drunk up, leaving only a few empty shells.
No, there is still some coconut meat inside that has not been eaten.
Jiang Wan was having trouble walking.
Coconut meat is a treasure. It would be a shame to just throw it away and let it rot.
She counted them and found five coconuts.
Jiang Wan picked them up and put them into the backpack without much hesitation.
Coconut meat can be used for cooking and making soup, but it actually has more important uses.
It also makes coconut oil!
Coconut oil is something that only a few people know about nowadays. It can beautify and nourish the skin, protect the skin and maintain health, and can also be used as food.
If you search it on Baidu, you may find dozens of uses, but Jiang Wan has a limited memory and can only remember a few that he has paid attention to.
Don’t be in a hurry now, wait until the coconut oil is made first.
Jiang Wan walked around the coconuts and picked up two more. She had never opened them before, so she didn't know if the coconut meat was still inside.
Although the coconut milk was gone, the crabs were still quite heavy with the shells and meat. Jiang Wan did not stay at the beach for long. She caught a few crabs and went home.
Baozhu was boiling medicine outside the stove room. When she saw Jiang Wan coming back, she immediately came over excitedly.
Because usually when Jiang Wan goes out to fish in the sea, he usually brings back a lot of seafood.
"Xiao Wan, why did you come back so early today?"
Jiang Wan put the backpack down and shook it gently.
"When the food is almost ready, let's go back. We caught some fat crabs today. How about we have crab porridge for lunch?"
Baozhu nodded quickly. The crab porridge made by Xiaowan was delicious.
"Eh? Why are there so many coconuts in your backpack? And there's no water in it?"
"It will be useful if you bring it back."
Jiang Wan didn't explain too much, she picked up all the coconuts and put them on the table, and then took out a clean basin.
She wanted to scrape all the coconut flesh out of the coconut and put it into the basin.
"Xiao Wan, do you want my help?"
"No, no, it's just a piece of coconut flesh. It's a piece of cake."
There were only a few on the table, and Jiang Wan quickly finished them by herself.
She used a shovel to crush the scraped coconut meat into small pieces, almost into pulp.
If the amount is small, she can do it herself. If the amount is large, she will have to borrow a large mortar.
She worked in the kitchen, and when she was done, she poured the sticky coconut pulp into the pot and started to boil it over a fire.
The fire started burning quickly, and the coconut milk in the pot began to separate into water and oil. A large piece of white foam floated on the surface.
Jiang Wan ignored them and boiled the coconut oil over high heat before simmering it on low heat. During this time, she had to stir the pot constantly. Otherwise, if the coconut meat inside was burnt, the coconut oil would lose its fragrance and only have a burnt smell.
When the white foam gradually turns into a slightly turbid flocculent state, you can turn off the fire.
Jiang Wan found a clean sieve to filter it and finally got half a jar of coconut oil.
The boiled coconut oil has a bright color and a pleasant smell, and you can tell it is good stuff just by smelling it.
Jiang Wan happily took a little and smeared it evenly on the skin on the back of her hand.
Very moist and not greasy.
In a place where even my mom can’t make sunscreen cosmetics, coconut oil is a simple way to protect against the sun.
It can also be used as essential oil to massage the body, and it has various functions such as eliminating wrinkles and moisturizing.
Jiang Wan had used it to make several things herself.
Add alkali and mint powder and it becomes a whitening and antibacterial toothpaste. Add sugar or coarse salt and it becomes a scrub.
Apply directly to your hair for a natural hair mask.
In short, it has many benefits, whether it is eaten or used, it is very good. And after it is brewed, the shelf life is at least two years, so there is no need to worry about it going bad.
Jiang Wan raised her hand and smelled the fragrance on the back of her hand, and her heart moved.
There is such a large coconut grove in the village, it would be a waste if it is just left there. Why don’t we ask the old village chief if we can contract the land?
