"Haha, drawing books are not serious books."

Ye Langlang's words made Ye Nitang laugh.

She rubbed her son's head and said lovingly: "It's time, mother, please invite me to enlighten you."

"Thank you, mother. I will study hard."

Ye Nitang looked at Ye Juejue again and asked, "Can Juejue study well?"

Ye Juejue still said nothing, looked into her eyes, and nodded seriously.

"Well, my babies are the most well-behaved."

Ye Nitang raised his hand to touch her little face, but the little girl did not refuse.

Ye Qinghong and Ye Kuanyan on the side saw this and smiled happily.

After a while, Liu Zheran came in wearing a gray shorts. Because of his fair skin, he stood out in the yard.

Several girls working there were blushing with shame.

He brought a large cage with more than twenty female insects, more than ten male insects, and a box of privet leaves.

There was also a bag of rice and two jars of honey, weighing ten kilograms. "My parents asked me to bring this to my two children."

He was a little embarrassed alone.

Junyi's face was crimson, and he didn't dare to look at the girls in the courtyard.

"Thank you!" Ye Nitang lifted the cage in his hand and raised his chin towards Ye Qinghong who was boiling medicine in the courtyard, "Go and help my brother."

"Miss Ye, I'm here to learn how to raise insects from you."

Liu Zheran's impression of Ye Nitang still remained in the past. He looked at the cage and was worried to death.

"I know, let me give the bug some body-building medicine first," Ye Nitang said with a joking smile in the corners of his eyes, "Don't worry, for the sake of those two jars of honey, I won't let you down. "

"...Thank you!" Liu Zheran thought of the patriarch's instructions not to have any conflict with Ye Nitang, even if she killed the insect.

He took a deep look at the cage and went to the side to help Ye Qinghong.

Ye Nitang took the cage and a few privet leaves to her room.

She sprayed the anti-insect medicine prepared in the space on the leaves and put it in the cage for the white waxworms to eat.

He took out a pen and paper from the space and began to write down the details of cultivating white wax worms.

When I came out again, it was already dark and my abdomen felt uncomfortable again.

I hurried to the hut at the back, and when I came out, it was already dark.

Liu Zheran also guessed the reason why she did not go to their village, and there was a trace of guilt in his eyes.

For dinner, Ye Kuanyan used the rice brought by Liu Zheran to cook white rice, stir-fry some vegetarian vegetables, and stew a pot of broth.

"Master Liu, I hope you don't mind having a simple meal." Ye Qinghong personally entertained Liu Zheran to eat in the living room.

"Master Ye, I am five years older than you. If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Liu, and I can call you Brother Hong!"

After spending a long time with Ye Qinghong, Liu Zheran admired this calm young man very much.

It’s really amazing that my family has been able to support this shattered family despite huge changes.

"Thanks to Brother Liu for not taking it too seriously, I'm polite here."

Ye Qinghong bowed and there was no harm in making friends with the Liu family.

"That's polite." Liu Zheran returned the courtesy politely.

After the meal, Ye Kuanyan put the two children to sleep, then tidied up her parents' room and gave Liu Zheran temporary accommodation.

As for the other bedroom that Yao Minzhi used to live in, it is already filled with hydrosols, ointments, and rejuvenating oils that they made during this period.

Ye Nitang gave him the method of raising white wax worms she wrote and asked him to read it for a while at night and ask her if he didn't understand it tomorrow.

Liu Zheran was very happy to read the booklet with pictures and texts.

"Thank you Miss Ye, your method is more detailed than what I learned in Nanjing."

This sentence is full of sincerity and tears of gratitude.

"You're welcome. It's hot in the room. Just watch from under the eaves. We're not in a hurry to sleep."

After Ye Nitang finished speaking, she didn't talk nonsense with him, and took her younger brothers and sisters to make soap with Yang He'er of the Huang family who came to work overtime at night.

She took out the hand mixer she made from Tie Yi, poured in the lard and heated it, and then poured in three cups of caustic soda water in which the sodium hydroxide crystals in her space were dissolved.

Looking at the half barrel of orange oil, Huang couldn't help but feel distressed, "Tang'er, this is oil, we can't waste it."

"Sister, are you sure that soapy water of yours can turn lard into soap?" Ye Kuanyan was reluctant to part with it. That much oil was enough for her family to feed her family for a year.

"Don't worry, I won't let you down."

Ye Nitang closed the lid, turned the movable handle on it, and the fan-shaped stirrer connected to the lid began to rotate rapidly in the bucket.

"Oil turns into soap, which requires a saponification process. The soap starter water I just added is the key to saponification, but it is poisonous and highly toxic. From now on, we will work overtime at night to make this soap, so we don't want to let them mix it in."

When several people heard that it was poisonous, their faces froze, "Poisonous? Can the soap still be used?"

Ye Nitang looked at them speechlessly, "After it is fused with oil and saponified, it will be non-toxic, otherwise I will make it and sell it?"

Huang concealed her embarrassment with a smile, "Haha, we are short-sighted. Whatever you say from now on, we will listen to you."

"We also listen to you." Ye Kuanyan and Yang He'er looked at her playfully.

Only Ye Qinghong was filled with annoyance. He had clearly promised to believe her unconditionally, but why he hesitated again.

"Humph."

Ye Nitang also gave a fake smile and stirred the bucket.

After a quarter of an hour, she stopped when she heard the noise inside was different.

When I opened the lid, I saw that the oil inside turned into a fine white paste-like substance.

"You can see clearly, when the oil is stirred until it is so fine and white, it is enough," she said, pouring a drop of peppermint essential oil and a bowl of green mint juice into the white paste in the bucket, and continuing to stir, "Add the peppermint essential oil to make The soap that comes out is just like cooling dew, ice cold."

"Sister, you sit down, I'll do it." Ye Qinghong saw the sweat on her head, moved a chair, and took over the work from her hands.

Ye Nitang was indeed tired, so she sat aside and asked him to pour the mixed light green soap into a square wooden box.

During the few days she went to the county seat, Yang Dashan made more than a hundred wooden soap boxes at home, each of which could hold ten kilograms of soap.

After it solidifies, it can be cut into pieces. Two ounces weigh one piece, and at least fifty pieces can be cut.

Ten pounds of refined lard cost five hundred coins.

If a piece of soap sells for one hundred cents, and fifty pieces of soap excluding the cost of labor and materials, there should be a profit of four taels of silver notes.

It seems that I don’t make much money, but this thing is cheap and is for mass consumption. Just like the cooling ointment, it can increase the volume.

After Ye Qinghong finished pouring the green soap, Ye Nitang looked at Huang and the others, "Now each of you make a bucket and let me see the effect."

"Sister Tang'er, let me come first."

Yang He'er took the handle from the lid of the mixing bucket, followed Ye Nitang's instructions, started pouring the oil and heated it, and then slowly added the caustic soda water.

The little girl was very strong and stirred faster than Ye Nitang, "Sister Tang'er, this is really fun, it's much easier than making flower dew."

Looking at her excited expression, Ye Nitang joked, "Try it for a day."

"Hehe, as long as I can make money, I'm not afraid of getting tired even if I work for three days."

Liu Zheran, who was reading in the courtyard, heard their laughter and couldn't help but walked over, "What are you...?"
