Qiu Ju teased her, "Why, are you saying that Auntie's cooking is not tasty? Aren't you afraid that your mother will beat you?"
"You can't say that casually." Qiu Chunlan waved her hands quickly, and the girls laughed.
"Okay, we'll go back first." After laughing and joking, the girls said goodbye to Qiu Chunlan and walked home together.
Qiu Yinong saw them off, stretched, and looked at the soaps arranged on the table, feeling very excited.
After dinner and a bath, she went back to her room to rest.
I am really tired today.
"Sister, are you up?" Qiu Hanchi's voice came from outside the door.
Qiu Yinong opened her eyes and looked towards the door in confusion: "Fifth brother, what's wrong?"
"It's okay. Did Fifth Brother disturb you?" Qiu Hanchi said embarrassedly.
Qiu Yinong rubbed his eyes and quickly replied: "No, I should wake up too."
"Okay, Fourth Brother has prepared breakfast. Come out and wash up, then have breakfast." After Qiu Hanchi said this, he turned and left.
Qiu Yinong got dressed and went out, and was also stunned when she saw the sun in the sky.
It’s this time today. No wonder Fifth Brother came to call her. He must be worried that something happened to her.
He took the basin to the well, washed his face, and rinsed his mouth with some salt dipped in a willow branch.
She did have toothpaste, but it was not convenient to use it outside, so she would use it secretly in her room every day. It seemed that she still had to make toothpaste.
Coconut oil, she has all these things, so she can make them together in the afternoon.
After breakfast, Qiu Hanli and Qiu Hanchi accompanied Qiu Yinong to pick mint.
When she came back, she called Qiu Chunlan and others to come to work. The hemp rope was enough, and she had drawn a lot of oil paper, so she asked the five of them to wrap the soap directly.
Qiu Yinong washed the mint leaves and placed them outside to dry.
After drying, the mint leaves were collected and Qiu Hanqing was asked to help squeeze them to extract the mint oil.
After talking to Qiu Hanqing, Qiu Yinong went to the kitchen to help Qiu Hanli cook.
After dinner, there was no work in the afternoon. Qiu Yinong settled their wages, and the five girls' faces were all filled with joy.
After thanking him, he took the money and went back.
Qiu Yinong started making mint soap and peach blossom soap. The peach blossom essential oil was pink and tender. The wood ash water was filtered several times and then allowed to settle for two days and two nights. It was already very clear.
The oil is almost gone after it is prepared.
Prepare two large tanks of mixed oil for use, and pour the essential oil into the tanks after adjusting the proportions.
Then slowly pour the wood ash water into the oil tank, and Qiu Hanqing stirs it with a wooden stick.
The oil slowly started to become thicker and the pink color became darker. Qiu Yinong took a look and thought that after solidifying, it should become more transparent.
Place the floral soap into a mold and place it in a cool place while you make the peppermint soap.
There's still enough time to finish the soap.
Qiu Yinong returned to her room and took out several ceramic jars of various sizes. Qiu Hansheng and a few others gathered around her out of curiosity.
"What is your sister going to do now?" Qiu Hanli asked directly.
Qiu Yinong said, "I want to try making something to clean teeth."
The five brothers were very curious and did not leave. They surrounded Qiu Yinong and watched her do it.
"What is this?" Qiu Hanyan picked up some green leaves and smelled them.
Qiu Yinong took a look and said, "This is two-sided needle, a herb that can protect teeth from cavities."
She crushed the two-sided needles to extract the juice and poured it into a small ceramic pot.
I added some peppermint essential oil and scooped out a large piece of coconut oil from the large porcelain jar.
Add some sea salt and baking soda.
Light the fire and heat until the coconut oil boils, then turn off the fire.
A refreshing smell spread out, and the finished product was poured into a beautiful white porcelain jar.
After waiting for it to solidify, it becomes simple toothpaste.
"Brother, let's go and make something." Qiu Yinong grabbed a handful of fiber bristles with moderate hardness and pulled Qiu Hansheng to study how to make a toothbrush.
The two siblings tinkered with it for an hour and actually made ten toothbrushes.
"Great, it's done." Qiu Yinong looked at the ten toothbrushes and was very happy.
Qiu Hansheng couldn't help but rub her hair.
Qiu Yinong looked up, her eyes sparkling. Qiu Hansheng raised the corner of his mouth, and then he thought of something and asked, "Sister, I heard from your third brother that you are very good at medicine."
"It's only been a few days, and he hasn't coughed much anymore. Can Xiaowu's leg be saved?"
"Brother, I've always wanted to know what's wrong with Fifth Brother's leg?" Qiu Yinong asked curiously.
Qiu Hansheng sighed and said, "It happened in late autumn last year. My younger sister went up the mountain to pick mushrooms, but she got separated from the girls in the village and accidentally slipped down the hillside."
"Your fifth brother found her. It was a very steep slope. He pulled my little sister up, but he accidentally fell down the mountain."
"When we found him, his leg was broken and he was unconscious."
"My younger sister also had a high fever due to the cold wind and excessive shock."
"Father had no choice but to borrow money from Mr. Guo. I didn't expect that now I have to ask you, my sister, to find a way to pay it back." Qiu Hansheng lowered his head in shame.
Qiu Yinong held his hand and comforted him, "Brother, don't think too much. I am also a member of the Qiu family now."
"We have to get through this together."
"Uncle Zhao said he would pay it back, but I wanted to put some pressure on myself, so I refused."
Qiu Hansheng smiled and tapped her nose: "Your second brother told us."
"Yeah." Qiu Yinong also smiled happily, and then said: "Fifth brother's leg can be cured, but it needs to be completely broken and then reconnected. It will take half a year to recover."
"Don't worry, I still need to find all the herbs and make the intermittent ointment first, so that I can increase my chances of success."
"Don't tell Fifth Brother yet. I'll give him a surprise when I'm fully prepared." Qiu Yinong had a sweet smile on her face.
Qiu Hansheng nodded. Outside the door, Qiu Hanchi leaned against the wall, a tear sliding down the corner of his eye.
Then he wiped away his tears and a smile appeared on his face.
He swore that he would protect his lost and found sister with his life, let her live a good life and not be bullied by anyone.
Four days passed in a flash, and the mint soap and floral soap were all made with the help of Qiu Chunlan and others.
Qiu Hansheng also got the shelves that Qiu Yinong wanted. The next day was a good day, and the family was preparing to deliver all the goods to the town this afternoon.
The people sent by Mo Niang also came over.
"Miss Qiu, my boss asked me to tell you to go to the embroidery shop to find her." The shop assistant said respectfully.
Qiu Yinong nodded and replied, "I understand. I'll go there after my shop opening tomorrow."
"Okay, then I'll go back first." The waiter responded, bowed again, and then turned back.
"Brother, why don't you come with me to take a look tomorrow?" Qiu Yinong approached Qiu Hansheng, and Qiu Hansheng's ears turned red instantly.
Qiu Yinong and the others covered their mouths and laughed, and the eldest brother was shy.
Qiu Hansheng glared at them unhappily, but finally agreed: "Okay, I'll accompany you there tomorrow."
Qiu Yinong was very happy, and the six brothers and sisters loaded the things onto the cart.
