Qin Fang picked up a piece of pig intestine and his eyes lit up. This terrible woman could actually make such delicious food. He ate the food faster, and finally dipped the steamed bun into the pig intestine soup, and almost licked the bento clean. There are also pig's trotters, which are stewed very soft and glutinous and feel like they melt in your mouth.

Qin Fang thought that the food from wealthy families was different, and the dishes were all very delicious.

After lunch, there was a sequel to the story of Qin Fang's daughter-in-law committing suicide by taking poison on their wedding night. The soldiers under him praised his sister-in-law's skills one after another. Everyone also knew that Qin Fang's daughter-in-law did not commit suicide, but was in poor health. Taking the wrong medicine.

Of course, Yang Haiyan didn't know about these things. She and Sister-in-law Lu arrived home. After a while, the people who washed clothes and carried water came. The person who came was the eldest daughter-in-law of that family, Mrs. Tang. Mrs. Tang came with her ten-year-old daughter, pulling the cart.

This cart is very special. There are four small wheels at the bottom and wooden boards on top. In this way, the big wooden barrel is filled with water and put on the wooden boards to pull it back. Even women can pull it.

Mrs. Tang: "Madam, you have to take out the things to be washed. We have to take them to the sink to wash them. Otherwise, the sheets and quilts will be too big and it will take too much time to pull buckets of water back and forth."

Yang Haiyan: "That makes sense. Let's go with you. We still have clothes to wash." She went back to the room to get sheets and quilt covers, and bought soap for washing clothes at the counter. Ordinary washing soap costs two yuan a piece. Yang Haiyan I bought one piece and then half. She is not worried about anyone recognizing the soap, because this is the border, and the border is the center of trade. You can often see businessmen from other countries. If anyone asks, just say that you bought it from businessmen from other countries. 놇This country, Merchants from other countries are called traveling merchants.

But seeing the soap, she thought of another way to make money.

Yang Haiyan put this thought aside and followed Tang and her daughter to wash clothes.

There is a special place for washing clothes next to the sink, that is, by the well. Tang's mother and daughter helped her wash the quilt cover, and she washed the clothes she had changed out of yesterday. She washed them quickly and returned home first. Two-quarters of an hour later, Tang's mother and daughter came back with the cart. They spread out her quilt and sheets and carried two buckets of water to the kitchen.

There are four sheets and quilt covers in total, which cost four cents. Carrying water ten times a month is equivalent to ten cents for a day's hard work, so the total is fourteen cents. After paying, one tael of silver was only eleven cents left.

Mrs. Tang accepted the money but did not leave immediately. She hesitated for a moment and asked a little embarrassedly: "Mrs. Qin, what is the name of this thing you use to wash clothes? It looks a bit like a soap, but it is very useful. It can be used to wash clothes." Not only is it clean, it also smells good. ”

Yang Haiyan: "I don't know what this is. When I went to the market this morning, I saw a merchant setting up a stall. There was this thing on the stall. It was called soap. It was something fat and similar to acacia. It was called soap. , I thought it was interesting and bought it.”

When Mr. Tang heard this, he felt a little regretful: "Then I'm sure I can't buy it now. You don't know, some ladies' clothes are more exquisite, but they can't be washed clean with soap and honey locust. I think it will definitely be washed with yours." clean."

Yang Haiyan smiled: "This thing is expensive, it costs twenty cents per piece."

When Mr. Tang heard this, he said: "It's expensive, but it lasts a long time and the clothes will be clean and fragrant." If you use this method to wash clothes, you can charge a few more cents every time you wash clothes, and the ladies won't care. In this way, Their family has an advantage over others.

Upon hearing this, Yang Haiyan understood what she meant: "You want this?"

Mr. Tang: “Isn’t it impossible to buy it?”

Yang Haiyan: "I'll buy it later. I'll buy a few pieces for you."

Mr. Tang shook his head: "A few yuan is not enough. It would be great if I could buy it for a long time." After all, their family has to wash clothes every day.

Yang Haiyan: "That's such a pity."

Mrs. Tang: "Madam, we are leaving now. I will come back to fetch you water after dinner the day after tomorrow."

Yang Haiyan: "Okay."

After Mrs. Tang and her daughter left with the cart, Yang Haiyan forget it. Making soap requires plant ash, filter, water, pot, salt, and lard. 놇Among these ingredients, lard is the most expensive.

After having the idea, Yang Haiyan immediately started taking action.

She spent ten Taiwan dollars to buy an old-fashioned wooden pole scale from the trading desk. This wooden pole scale is the same as the wooden pole scale used for business in the market. I spent another NT$10 to buy a 녦뀪 filter bag. It is a very ordinary filter bag, just like the white filter bag used to filter soy milk.

Then I bought a bottle of rose-flavored perfume for another NT$20.

Then he bought another ten grams of silver, which is one tael or one thousand penny.

After that, she went to the vegetable market. She first went to the meat stall and made an order with the boss for tomorrow's pork fat. Finally, I went to the carpenter's workshop and ordered a wooden grid, which is a soap model. There are twenty rectangular models on a wooden board. So the one tael of silver given by Sister-in-law Lu was added to the one tael of silver that I bought from the 놇놂台, making a total of 2 taels of silver. In the past few days, I had only one tael left.

In the evening, Yang Haiyan fried cabbage and cooked brown rice, eating very lightly. After dinner, she began to filter the lime, add water and stir, then boil the lye in a pot, take it out to settle, and then went to bed.

The next day, before dawn, 꾉꿭pork fat came from the meat stall. So Yang Haiyan simply boiled lard and got three pieces of lard.

The wood board grinding tools hadn't been delivered yet, so Yang Haiyan was a little interested, so she decided to try it first.

She first took a gram of lard and started to try, a little at a time. The first step was to stir the lard and lye together, and heat it during the stirring process, and drop a few drops of perfume and salt in the middle. The second step was to take out the soap solution after half an hour and put it in a bowl. She didn't care about it anymore. She had to prepare lunch and deliver food to Qin Fang at noon.

Thinking of Qin Fang, Yang Haiyan decided to make do with it for the time being. She was unfamiliar with the place, and Qin Fang was also her favorite, so she was willing to try to live like this first. If she felt that it was not suitable in the future, she would find a way.

This morning, lard was boiled, so there was a lot of lard residue. Sprinkle a little salt and eat the lard residue. The staple food was cabbage noodle soup, and the soup was the pig's trotter soup left over from yesterday. Then she made three poached eggs, one for herself and two for Qin Fang.

She thought it was good to deliver food every day, and proper digestion exercise after meals was good for health.

After finishing her meal, she went out with a basket. When she passed by Lu's house, she said, "Sister-in-law, I'm going to deliver food to my husband. Please help me look after the yard." Speaking of which, because this is the family quarters of the soldiers in the military camp, it is very safe and no one will come here to make trouble. After all, in the hearts of soldiers and ordinary people, they are also officials, and now they are civil servants.

Lu's wife: "Hey, don't worry."

Yang Haiyan delivered the food alone today because Lu's wife told her yesterday that she would not go today. Yesterday, she accompanied Yang Haiyan to show her the way.

Yang Haiyan felt relaxed when she went alone. The road from the family quarters to the military camp seemed to take an hour, but in fact, there were not many roads, and it was safe here. After all, no one would do bad things near the military camp. Don't want to lose your head?

Yang Haiyan arrived at the back door of the military camp, and the soldiers on guard recognized her: "Sister-in-law of the Qin family, are you here to deliver food to the Qin family?"

Among the military wives, Yang Haiyan is extremely beautiful. After all, the original owner followed the eldest lady, so her etiquette is good. She is not compared with the daughter of a rich lady, but ordinary people can't compare with her. Even the ladies of the seventh-rank county magistrate's family may not be as polite as her. Now it is Yang Haiyan's soul again. She is more confident than the original owner, and overcomes the original owner's inferiority as a servant. That temperament is that of a lady from a wealthy family.

Yang Haiyan smiled slightly: "Yes, I agreed with my husband yesterday. Please help me call him."

Soldier: "Sister-in-law, you are polite. Please wait."

The soldier ran to Qin Fang's military camp.

Qin Fang had woken up and was lying on the bed looking at the top of the tent. The annoying woman said before leaving yesterday that she would come to deliver lunch today. Will she really come? Qin Fang was very hesitant. If he didn't come, he would be hungry if he waited. But if he went to have lunch and she came again, then the two lunches would be a waste.

Damn it.

"Boss Qin... Boss Qin... your sister-in-law brought you food."

The other soldiers outside heard it and laughed and said, "Boss Qin, your wife brought you food."

Qin Fang picked up the basket from yesterday, which he had washed, and strode out of the tent. There was no expression on his face, but in fact, his heart was beating a little fast. Did that annoying woman really bring him food?

"Boss Qin, what did your sister-in-law bring you? Let's go and see together."

"Yes, Boss Qin, your sister-in-law is so good at cooking, she must have sent delicious food."

Qin Fang glanced at them sideways. These people wanted to eat, but didn't he know? Qin Fang saw the woman standing at the door from a distance. She was wearing the same aqua blue dress as yesterday. Not to mention powder on her face, there was no lip balm. She was clean and looked like a painting. Involuntarily, he took bigger steps.

He didn't deny that he was happy to hear that she came to deliver food today. Because... maybe she didn't break the appointment.

"Husband..." Yang Haiyan waved when she saw Qin Fang approaching.

Qin Fang thought, is he so happy to see me? After approaching, Qin Fang said, "Why are you here again? It's too tiring to go back and forth. Don't come tomorrow."

Yang Haiyan said coquettishly, "You are here to defend the country, and I am not allowed to nourish your body and make something delicious for you?"

Qin Fang pursed his lips, but... his mouth couldn't help but curl up again. It's always happy to be praised like this.

Yang Haiyan: "Today's food is simple, I just made noodles, and I brought you snacks. I don't know if it suits your taste. Did you like what I made yesterday?"

Qin Fang: "Yeah." After a pause, he said, "Everyone said it was delicious." He was not a child even if he was brought snacks.
