Chapter 281 Shampoo (Part 2)
The village chief immediately called together the villagers who were still enjoying the coolness under the big tree by the pond to come to a meeting.
The villagers of Donghe Village have also gotten used to it. If anything happens, the village head will hold a meeting.
Now everyone is idle in this deep mountain with nothing to do, so they just chat all day long.
Or they cut down trees for firewood.
Good to cook.
The mountain where they were was really deep, and there were cliffs on three sides. The terrain was special, so even if they were burning a fire, it would not be visible from the outside.
It won't be discovered.
So everyone was grateful to Jiang Zhiluo.
In the eyes of the villagers, Jiang Zhiluo is their benefactor.
If it weren't for Jiang Zhiluo, no one would know where to hide.
When they heard that there was a war outside, they became panicked and didn't know where to escape.
"Village Chief, what's the matter?"
"Yeah, everyone's here, so we can hear everything."
The village head felt relieved when he saw everyone's relaxed expressions.
No matter how the war goes on outside, at least they are safe here.
The village head said solemnly, "The purpose of this meeting is to inform everyone that there's a war going on outside, and it's reaching Beizhou. Some villages in Beizhou have had their food robbed by bandits, and some are even losing their lives..."
The village head told everyone about the situation.
When this was said, the whole valley seemed to explode.
"What? There really is a war?"
"Those people not only robbed food but also killed people. They are so cruel and insane."
“That’s too scary!”
"There's a war, there really is a war, this is too scary!"
“It’s a good thing we moved here early.”
"Yes, thankfully Zhiluo gave us some advice. We were able to harvest our food and move here early."
"If we were to look for this place on our own, we wouldn't be able to find it..."
"This is deep in the mountains and old forests. People outside can't find it. If it weren't for Zhiluo leading the way, we really wouldn't know there is such a safe place in the mountains."
"Yes, there's water, trees, and cliffs. It's very safe..."
“I can’t imagine what would have happened if we had harvested the crops later or stayed in the village.”
The villagers turned pale and began to discuss.
The more we discuss it, the more scared we become.
Some fingers are stiff.
But everyone was also glad that they moved to the mountains to hide.
In this case, as long as you don't go out, you will be safe.
The village head understood everyone's feelings. Not only everyone else, but he was also afraid.
Those bandits killed people without blinking an eye. It's scary just to think about it.
He said loudly: "So everyone, don't go out, just stay in the valley for now."
Everyone in the village responded.
"That's for sure. He won't go anywhere. He'll just hide in the mountains."
"Yes, nothing is more important than life."
"Yes, staying alive is the most important thing. If it were in previous years, we would all have fled."
"Fleeing, where to flee? During war, no place is safe. It's different from fleeing famine."
"That's right. Who knows where there are no bandits? If we carry so many things on the road, the bandits will come and kill us with a knife."
"So it's safer in the mountains. If things aren't peaceful outside, we won't go out."
"Yes, you can't go out. There's food and water in the mountains. It will be fine for a year or two."
"Fortunately, we moved everything here in advance, so it won't affect our food, even during the winter."
Everyone took their cotton-padded jackets and winter quilts to the mountains.
They are not afraid of cold and snowy weather.
There is no other beast.
But they are not afraid of wild beasts, because they all have knives and axes in their hands. With so many people in a village, they can handle it.
Besides, everyone felt safe with Jiang Zhiluo around.
When Jiang Zhiluo dealt with the grain collection manager before, the skills she showed were admirable.
Everyone thinks she is amazing.
So when everyone sees Jiang Zhiluo every day, they feel safe.
Of course, the person everyone is most grateful to now is Jiang Zhiluo.
To everyone, Jiang Zhiluo saved everyone again.
Seeing that everyone had listened, the village head gave some more instructions and then let everyone go back to their normal tasks.
…
In this way, Cui Hejin also settled down in the deep mountains.
Although living in the deep mountains, Jiang Zhiluo was not idle.
She goes to the mountains every day to look for things.
She looked for soapberry, soapberry, Polygonum multiflorum, mulberry leaves, cypress leaves, Ligustrum lucidum, etc.
Use these to make shampoo.
She knew that by late autumn, peace would return to the Northern Province.
So take advantage of this time to make more things that can be stored, and when you go out, these things can be sold out.
Old Madam Cui, Cui Hejin and Cui Qingci all helped Jiang Zhiluo with these things.
They lived at the very back of the valley, so the villagers would not notice what they did on a daily basis.
Even if everyone saw it, they wouldn't ask too many questions.
Everyone is grateful to the Cui family and will not say anything careless to upset them.
Madam Cui asked, "So, Zhiluo, you originally brought these jars into the mountains to make shampoo?"
Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said, "Well, there happens to be lemonade, which can be used as a preservative."
There were no technological products in this era, but there were lemons in the mountains, and lemonade could be used as a preservative.
There are also a lot of supplies in the mountains. Such a large primeval forest is a treasure.
As long as you pay attention, you can find something.
As for the preservation, Mrs. Cui didn't understand it either, but she just did whatever Zhiluo said.
And this shampoo is really good when she washes her hair.
It will also foam.
"Then Zhiluo, aren't we going to make that soap anymore?"
Before Zhiluo made soap, she used it to wash her face, hands and hair, and it worked very well.
Jiang Zhiluo said, "Mom, soap is soap and shampoo is shampoo. You can use them differently."
“Soap too.”
She put a lot of pork in the space, just to make soap.
Put the prepared shampoo into the jar first.
After going out, Jiang Zhiluo plans to find someone to make some exquisite outer packaging bottles to create high-end shampoo.
There is no shampoo available in the market yet.
Rich people use bath beans and scented soap to wash their hair, bath and face.
Ordinary people use things like soapberry ash.
She thinks the shampoo is very special and as long as it works well and is promoted properly, it should be popular.
Jiang Zhiluo not only makes these shampoos, she also wants to make facial creams, perfumes and lip balms.
These are the things that can really make money.
Yes, she wants to make more and promote it when things are peaceful outside.
She understood that if she wanted to avenge the Wei family and investigate more about what happened back then, she would need money to pave the way.
At first she picked camellia flowers and made some camellia oil.
With these oils, making lip balm is easier.
Jiang Zhiluo would go to the mountains and forests to look for things during the day, and when she came back in the evening, she would use a knife to carve some exquisite little bottles.
Just like those lip balm bottles displayed at modern tourist attractions.
It looks small, delicate and beautiful.
Although she is carving with wood now, it looks more elegant if she carves some patterns on it.
