When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 580 Peasant Woman 8
Chen Xi pursed her lips: "Mom, I will be very careful and won't get burned."

Tan You: "Okay, I'll be in the kitchen too. I'll make the moxa, and you and An Wen will be in charge of boiling the oil."

I have to say that although I have to raise children, make money, and do everything myself, but because I have a few children, Tan You's burden is not that heavy.

Maybe it's because she is capable and has a broad vision.

Chen Xi and An Wen were in charge of making lard, while Chen Yue and Chen Xing helped Tan You beat the moxa. The few of them squeezed into the small kitchen, not realizing how tedious the work was.

When the lard came out of the pot, Tan You had also finished pounding the moxa. Chen Yue and Chen Xing were helping Tan You mix the ingredients into balls, four little hands stirring in the pot, Tan You ignored them and just sat down to catch his breath and rest.

Chen Yue poured the lard into a ceramic pot, washed her hands, and went over to help Chen Yue and Chen Xing knead the dumplings evenly. Tan You was also happy to have someone take over, so she stood by and gave instructions.

She believes that if she does everything by herself, she will end up tiring herself to death. But if she lets these little kids help her, they will feel a sense of accomplishment.

Because now they are working hard for the family, this will make them know what responsibility is.

"Almost done, now roll it into a dough sheet of even thickness." Tan You sighed, "Let me do this job."

If this happened in modern society, with mechanized operations, the thickness would be absolutely consistent. How could it be like it is now?

After rolling the mosquito coil ball into mosquito coil dough, Tan You cuts it into mosquito coil strips.

Chen Xi stood beside her: "Mom, what should we do next?"

Tan You rolled up a mosquito coil: "Do you understand? Just roll it up like this and dry it in the sun."

This job can be done by children. Four little kids squatted in front of the board and concentrated on making mosquito coils. However, due to their different personalities, the shapes of the mosquito coils they made were different.

An Wen and Chen Xi seem to have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and the mosquito coils they roll must be neat and tidy. Chen Yue has a rough personality and is impatient to do such delicate work, so the mosquito coils she rolls are big or small, and in various shapes.

The youngest, Chen Xing, was just playing.

With help, things were done quickly. In less than half an hour, all the mosquito coils were ready. The children came to Tan You like little puppies and asked, "Mom, what are we going to do now?"

Tan You felt a headache when she heard them calling her "mother". She had clearly tried her best to get them to work, so why were they still acting like mama's girls?

After directing the children to make mint and wormwood soap, Tan You sat down in the yard. The children didn't mind the heat and crowded around her.

They each held a small bowl of oil residue in their hands, and ate with a greasy mouth.

"Mom, the oil residue is so delicious. It's the most delicious I've ever eaten." Chen Yue took a bite of the oil residue and suddenly said this.

Tan You chuckled: "If I remember correctly, you also said that the fish soup I made yesterday was the most delicious."

Chen Yue's main point is to share the benefits equally: "They are all delicious anyway, mom, you eat them too!"

As soon as she finished speaking, four small bowls were brought in front of her. Tan You waved her hand: "I really don't like eating these, you can eat them by yourselves."

Seeing the children pouting, Tan You smiled and said, "I'm not the kind of mother who selflessly devotes herself to her children. When I say I don't like it, I really don't like it. Just eat it by yourselves." "Don't eat too much. Eating too much of this thing will make you get angry."

An Wen held the small bowl and said, "Aunt, are you going to sell these soaps for money?"

"Yeah, I do have this idea," Tan You did not hide it from them, "We can't just sit there and eat all the money we have, we have to find a way to make money. I plan to sell soap at ten cents a piece, and perfumed soap at a more expensive price of fifteen or eighteen cents."

An Wen: "Aunt, I don't understand."

Tan You: "They are consumables that everyone uses on a daily basis. A bar of soap can be used for about a month if you use it sparingly. What we want to do is to make soap affordable for everyone. There is no need to set such a high price."

She looked towards the village and said, "Besides, we need to build good relations with the clan now. With the clan's support, we won't be bullied. You are all too young now and don't have the ability to protect yourselves."

An Wen clenched his fist: "Aunt, it would be better if I were older."

Tan You laughed and shook his head: "The power of one person is ultimately insignificant, we must unite as many forces as possible around us."

"Besides, everyone's life is hard. If everyone can have an income in the future, would you feel happier when you see this?"

Chen Xi thought about it and said, "It seems so, but wouldn't we be at a disadvantage?"

"Whether we will suffer a loss or not depends on the time of day." Tan You looked at the clouds in the sky: "We are weak and alone. Even if we want to do this soap business exclusively, we will be targeted by others. We can't protect such a recipe."

"Think about it. I am the only adult in my family. The oldest of you is seven years old, and the youngest is three. Carrying a treasure is like a child carrying gold and causing trouble. The treasure will only be stolen and the child will be beaten to death."

Chen Xi understood: "So, mother, you want to bring everyone together."

"Yes," Tan You said without hesitation, "When we are still weak, we need to rely on the power of others. So at this time, we have to consider what forces can provide us with protection?"

"First, we naturally have to choose the clan. The clan is our roots. Only when the roots are firmly planted, our interests will be better protected."

"Don't count on friendship or loyalty. These are unrealistic. The only thing that can bring everyone together is always interests."

Tan You's words were too realistic and too blunt. An Wen and Chen Xi fell into deep thought. Chen Yue seemed to understand but not quite, and just kept it in her heart. Only Chen Xing understood nothing.

"So it seems that we have lost a lot, but in fact, if we encounter any problems in the future, the clan must protect us." Chen Xi said after a long time. At this moment, this little girl learned for the first time about the unspoken rules of luring people with benefits and walking in society.

"Yes, we need the clan's protection." Tan You said without hesitation: "In this world, if you don't have the clan's protection, it will be difficult for anyone to survive."

"I understand, mother, what are you going to do?" Chen Xi understood, and she stopped worrying about it.

Tan You: "There is nothing we can do now. The only thing we have to do now is to wait."

"When the soaps are saponified, we can make more soaps during this period. Soaps are consumables, so we should make more during this period to avoid market vacancies."
