"Well, the work isn't tiring, and I get five cents a day, plus a meal. Mom, you don't know, but Xiaoliu is a very good cook."
"It tastes better than what the chef in that restaurant cooks. They are all delicious dishes." Qiu Chunlan kept praising Qiu Yinong.
"Have you eaten at the restaurant again?" Tao was surprised: "But, this little girl is really willing to spend money."
"Mom, Xiao Liu is really nice. He is gentle to us, speaks softly, and smells sweet."
"She also said that as long as everyone follows her instructions, she can ensure that we can have such delicious food every day in our home in the future."
When Mrs. Tao saw her daughter praising Qiu Yinong like this, she felt relieved.
It seems that she was just being mean-spirited. The young lady from the Qiu family really accepted them and was very good to her daughter.
"Then you just follow her and do your job well. Don't be lazy, okay?" Tao warned.
"Don't worry, Mom, I'll go back and rest for a while." Qiu Chunlan said and ran to her room.
Mrs. Tao grabbed her and slapped her: "Little kid, didn't I tell you to follow Xiaoliu?"
"Why are you still running into the room?"
"Mom, why did you hit me?" Qiu Chunlan pouted in dissatisfaction.
Mrs. Tao glared at her and gently poked Qiu Chunlan's head with her finger: "I just told you to follow Xiaoliu and work hard, but you want to go back and rest now. You are so lazy that you will die."
"What? Xiaoliu asked us to come back and rest for half an hour before going back to work because she also needed to rest."
Qiu Chunlan felt even more aggrieved and looked at her mother with dissatisfaction.
When Tao heard this, she felt a little embarrassed and touched the back of her neck sheepishly.
"I blamed you wrongly, so go and have some rest!"
Qiu Chunlan yawned, said something to Mrs. Tao, and went back to her room to get on the bed and rest.
Tao went to the next door with a happy face and showed off that her daughter could earn five cents a day, which attracted the admiration of many people. Those who couldn't go there did not feel jealous.
Because Tao also mentioned Qiu Yinong's words, everyone was full of hope and hoped that the guesthouse would be completed quickly.
This way everyone can make money.
Almost half an hour later, Tao came home and woke Qiu Chunlan up.
Qiu Chunlan washed her face and walked towards the Qiu family.
The other four also went back and told them what happened at Qiu Yinong's house. Without exception, they all asked them to follow Qiu Yinong well.
"Xiaoliu, we are here." When Qiu Chunlan and others arrived, Qiu Yinong had been sitting at the table painting for quite a while.
Qiu Yinong looked up at them and asked them to continue working.
The little girls talked and laughed, and before they knew it, the sun had set.
"Xiao Liu, we'll go back first. See you tomorrow." Qiu Chunlan and the others were about to leave.
Qiu Yinong called her back: "This is goat milk rose soap. Take it back and wash your faces and hands."
"Both goat milk and roses have skin-nourishing properties. Take them home and try them. If they work for you, help me spread the word to the aunts and sisters-in-law in the village."
"This is very expensive!" Huan'er took the soap, and the scent of rose milk filled her nose.
Working around the soap today, she was all scented with this milky scent.
"You can also use it while taking a bath. It will make your skin more delicate and smoother." Qiu Yinong blinked.
"The goat milk soap is 15 cents a piece. Don't refuse. If you find it useful, I want you to help me promote it." Qiu Yinong spoke up quickly.
The five of them looked at each other and finally nodded in thanks: "Then we would like to thank Xiaoliu. Don't worry, we will definitely spread the word."
"Thank you then." Qiu Yinong said with a playful smile.
"See you tomorrow, Xiaoliu."
"See you tomorrow." Qiu Yinong waved to them.
After everyone left, Qiu Hansheng walked out of her room and said, "Brother has put the bathtub in your room. You've been busy all day. Go take a bath first and then have dinner."
"Okay, thank you, big brother." Qiu Yinong thanked him happily and ran towards her room.
She took a piece of goat milk pearl soap to take a bath, and after washing, her whole body was filled with a faint milky scent.
"This smells so good." Qiu Hanli also smelled himself.
Then he said, "Sister, this soap is suitable for men. This one smells too soft and feels too feminine to use."
"Don't worry, I have it. I'm going to start working on it tomorrow."
"Is it true?" Qiu Hanli's eyes lit up.
"Well, I remember there's a small patch of mint leaves at the foot of the mountain. I'll make another batch of mint soap and floral soap tomorrow, and then we can officially open for business."
Qiu Yinong nodded and expressed his thoughts.
The soap made this time can be made quickly, but it will take a month to make goat milk soap next time.
This is fine. It is a rare commodity and if it becomes unavailable on the street, no one will use it.
Scented soap and floral soap will only take five or six days to make.
Using wood ash water and salt can increase the hardness of soap. The alkalinity of wood ash water is not as high as caustic soda.
"Then I will go with you to collect the mint leaves tomorrow." Qiu Hanli quickly expressed his opinion.
Qiu Yinong smiled and said yes, then looked at Qiu Hanchi: "Fifth brother, I'll have to trouble you to boil some wood ash water for me later."
"Okay, leave it to me." Qiu Hanchi responded.
After dinner, Qiu Hansheng and Qiu Hanqing cleaned up the dishes. Qiu Yinong was about to get some hay, but was snatched away by Qiu Hanli and Qiu Hanyan.
Qiu Yinong could only sigh and said that she was going back to her room to embroider.
I don't know how long I embroidered when Qiu Hanyan came to knock on the window: "Sister, you should go to bed. Aren't you going to town with your second brother tomorrow?"
"Okay, I'll finish embroidering it soon. Third brother, you can go to sleep first." Qiu Yinong looked up, replied, and then lowered her head to embroider again.
Qiu Hanyan could only hum: "Then sister, go to bed early."
"good."
Not long after Qiu Hanyan left, she finished the embroidery.
After putting away the five pieces of embroidery, she stretched and climbed into bed to sleep.
After a good sleep and breakfast, Qiu Yinong took some soap and the embroidery, and Qiu Hanqing took a car to the town.
Qiu Hanli also ran to the five girls' homes and asked them to come back later to do the work.
When we arrived in town, we went straight to the embroidery workshop.
Aunt Mo had just arrived at the shop. When she saw Qiu Yinong and his sister coming over, she immediately greeted them with a smile on her face.
"Miss Qiu, you're here."
"Good morning, Aunt Mo. This is a handkerchief I embroidered. Please take a look."
"Okay." Mo Niang took the small cloth bag with a smile. After opening it, she was stunned by the embroidery inside.
Looking at Qiu Yinong, her eyes were full of amazement: "Young lady, your embroidery skills are amazing."
"Auntie Mo, why not look at it the other way around?" Qiu Yinong reminded.
Mo Niang looked at Qiu Yinong curiously, then opened the embroidery and exclaimed in surprise.
"It's double-sided embroidery, such perfect double-sided embroidery, it's amazing, amazing."
