Chapter 274 The Smell of Soap
Bailing was afraid that her feet would get sore from squatting, so she put a small stool under her little butt: "Miss, sit down, it won't be so tiring this way."
"Thank you, Sister Bailing." Juanjuan bent down and turned her head slightly to look at her.
"You're welcome. Close your eyes now! I didn't tell you to open them, so you can't open them." Bailing smoothed her hair forward.
"Okay." Juanjuan closed her eyes obediently.
Bailing felt the water temperature and found it was just right. She first used a fine-tooth comb to gently clean the mud and dirt from her hair.
Then he took a small ladle and scooped water into her hair. After wetting it, he applied soap and gently rubbed her hair.
"It would be great if the soap had a scent that Juanjuan likes." Juanjuan closed her eyes and wrinkled her nose.
She doesn't really like the smell of soap.
Bai Ling paused as she gently grasped her hair. "The soaps are all imported from the West. There are only two scents: lavender and sandalwood."
"Juanjuan still prefers the fragrance of flowers in the flower garden." Juanjuan said with some regret.
The smell of lavender is neither pleasant nor unpleasant, she just doesn't like it.
"Then I'll try and see if I can make a scent that the lady likes." Bailing said with a smile.
"Sister Bailing, can you make soap?" Juanjuan wanted to look up in surprise.
"Don't move." Bailing washed her hair twice before it was clean.
"No, I just reprocessed the little bit of soap that was left, but I can ask someone."
She used to collect the broken soaps and soaps, melt them and solidify them again, and then turn them into new usable soaps.
This will save a lot of money, but she really doesn't know how to make new soaps, but you can ask her.
Bailing dried the curly washed hair with a towel and wrapped it around her head.
"Miss, will you go to the fields tomorrow?" Bailing looked at the towel on her head and thought for a while.
"Go!" Juanjuan was holding a small wooden koi in her hand, and in front of her was a pointed tower made of bubbles.
"Captain YaYa, I saw a castle on the sea." She held the little koi in her little hands and approached YaYa floating on the water.
"Little Koi, let's go explore! See if there's anyone inside."
Bailing watched her holding the duck and the little koi in her two little hands and swimming towards the foam.
But before she could get close, the foam had dispersed on the surface of the water, and the original spire disappeared.
Juanjuan blinked her beautiful eyes and shrugged her shoulders with some regret: "What a pity, the castle is gone."
Bailing washed her clean, the water temperature had cooled down, she picked her up and took her to the bedroom, dried her and put on clean clothes for her.
After dinner, Juanjuan said she wanted to sleep in her own room at night, so Bailing sat on a stool beside the bed to accompany her. After she fell asleep, she went to find some cloth.
She was sewing something stitch by stitch in the light of the desk lamp.
These days, because they have to help plant rice, they have to get up very early and set off after breakfast.
"Madam, wait a minute." Bai Ling saw them about to leave and hurriedly ran out of the room.
Madam Si turned to look at Bailing: "What's wrong?"
Bailing handed her the thing in her hand: "Let the young master and young lady wear this on their heads to prevent mud from getting on their hair."
"Didn't you sleep all night last night?" Old Madam Si saw the dark circles under her eyes.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm going to the store too." Bailing said and hurried out.
When Aunt Wu saw this, she quickly chased after her and handed her an oil-paper bag: "Take your breakfast with you."
"Thank you, Auntie Wu." Bailing hurried out with the oil-paper bag.
Old Madam Si pulled the two children into the car, with Bailing's seat on her lap.
Juanjuan looked at the fabrics curiously: "Grandma, what are these?"
"This is worn on your head, so you don't have to worry about mud getting your hair dirty." Old Lady Si looked at the cloth on her legs.
"Grandma will put it on Juanjuan." Juanjuan looked at her expectantly.
"Okay, grandma will put it on you." Old Madam Si took out a piece and understood how to put it on after taking a look at it.
Today, Juanjuan just braided her hair, rolled it up, covered her head with this piece of cloth, and tied it with a rope to cover all her hair.
Si Jinchen stretched his head to look curiously: "It's quite beautiful, there is a little white rabbit on it."
Juanjuan stretched out her little hand and touched it gently. Although she couldn't see anything, she could feel some outlines.
"Achen, let me put it on you too." Old Madam Si took out the blue-gray linen headscarf specially prepared for Si Jinchen.
They also went to pick up Liu Yueya.
When Liu Yueya got on the bus and saw the strange cloth above their heads, she was still a little confused: "Grandma, what is this?"
"This is to prevent mud from sticking to your hair. Do you want to wear it?" Mrs. Si did not force her, but asked.
Liu Yueya saw that they were all wearing them and thought they seemed quite interesting.
She nodded and asked Madam Si to help her put it on, covering her long hair under the cloth.
Hu Zi was driving today. He parked the car far away and got off to go to the field with them to plant rice.
After a night's rest, everyone was full of energy and worked harder.
But strangely enough, since yesterday afternoon, they no longer felt any back pain while transplanting rice seedlings, and they were able to work continuously without any problems.
This has greatly improved their work efficiency. Normally, one person might not be able to plant rice seedlings in an acre of land in a day, but now they can complete more than an acre in a day.
Si Tian came back yesterday and heard Mrs. Si talking about rice transplanters.
He went to the factory today and happened to talk to Jiang Wang about this matter: "Mr. Jiang, can you make an automatic rice transplanter?"
"Automatic rice transplanter?" Jiang Wang frowned slightly.
"Well, transplanting rice seedlings manually is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the efficiency is low. If there were an automatic rice transplanter, it would greatly save everyone's time and improve efficiency."
Si Tian repeated his idea.
Jiang Wang thought for a moment and said, "I've had plows before, but they were the kind that could harvest seeds. I've never seen one like this for seedlings, but I can give it a try."
"Then give it a try. Just tell me what you need." Si Tian had a smile on his face.
"That's not a rush. I can try it with a model first, and then make a finished product if it works." The models that Jiang Wang had made were all seen before, but he had never made such an innovation.
However, this ignited his fighting spirit, and he got up and went back to study some necessary requirements for transplanting rice seedlings.
Si Tian came to the factory today and there was another important thing to do, which was the soles of the training shoes.
He asked the factory workers: "The sole of this shoe should be thicker than the rubber sole. The key point is that it won't be punctured by things."
“It won’t get punctured?” Everyone frowned. How thick must the sole of the shoe be to avoid getting punctured!
