A happy wife and a bun

Chapter 286. 285. Wake Up, Memory

Rong Qiqi had a bad feeling.

When did Ling Si remind you kindly?

Rong Qiqi didn't dare to tell Li Zhanting, for fear that he would be worried, besides, it was almost Chinese New Year.

The 23rd of the twelfth lunar month is the new year, and Rong Qiqi started preparing for the gift to the Stove Lord on this day.

There are still a lot of sugar melons I bought before, as well as persimmons made by myself this year, red dates and dried longan.

It's easy to say, and I also prepared some grass-fed villains and horses.

I don't know where Zhao Hongmei bought the portrait of the Stove King, and there is a grandmother of the Stove King in it.

People also said very confidently:

"It's a big Chinese New Year, so you can't let the Stove Lord live alone. Give it to the Stove King's grandma. How nice, couple, let the Stove Lord say a few more good words!"

Just like that, there is also the Stove King's grandma next to the Stove King Lord posted in Rong Qiqi's house.

Rong Qiqi went to see Zhao Hongmei's house, and her house was even more ruthless, she got the honey water to smear the mouths of the Stove King and Grandma Stove King, attracting many ants.

It is said that there are not so many offerings at home, so put some honey on the mouths of Stove King and Grandma Stove King.

This reason was so strong that Rong Qiqi was unable to refute it.

"Grandma, you have to take the lead in offering sacrifices to the Stove Lord."

After Rong Qiqi finished the sacrifice, he asked the old aunt to take the incense.

Old aunts and grandmas are also welcome. If there are elders in this family, the elders really need to come.

Naturally, Li Zhanting didn't have any opinions. He was very open about this kind of thing.

Several children followed suit, not knowing what they were doing.

"23, Send the lord to heaven;
24. House sweeping;
25, steamed dumplings;
26. Pork stew;
27, tin wiper;
28, retting sloppy;
29. Wash feet and hands;
On the [-]th, the door gods and couplets will be posted together"

After the old aunt worshiped the Stove Lord, she hugged Xiao Xiao and taught her to read this ballad.

It's very interesting.

Rong Qiqi also heard it since she was a child.

"My aunt doesn't have any tin utensils now, what should I rub?"

The old aunt glared at Rong Qiqi:

"You are stupid, now you don't have those good things before, but those guys in your family don't need to clean up? After being buried for a year, can you bear it?"

Feelings, this is what it means to clean up the house?
In fact, it made Rong Qiqi feel nothing, the most important thing was taking a shower.

In winter in the countryside, not every family can take a bath.

Last year, Rong Qiqi washed it only once in one winter.

Not this year.

This has to be a bath is not.

"Grandma, is it okay to take a bath in the hot spring over there now?"

Rong Qiqi wanted to take the child to the hot spring she discovered, but she was afraid that it would be difficult to go.

The old aunt nodded:

"In two days, let's go to my valley to wash well, can't we make our baby dirty and dirty for the New Year!"

This is fine, very fine.

Rong Qiqi was happy.

Few people in the village dare to go to the old aunt's side, so few people know that there is a hot spring there.

There is such a good place, but not many people in the village know about it.

Those who know dare not pass.

"Grandma, has no one thought of your hot spring for so many years?"

Grandma:

"How is it possible, there were still some in the early years, but I cleaned them up later, and they are gone in these years!"

Feelings are tidied up.

In order to take a bath, Rong Qiqi thought that the soap at home was gone, and he would have to make another trip to buy it again.

"Xiaoqi, boil more saponin water and give these children a good wash. Look at this poor boy!"

Even if you can wash your hair once a week, the dryness here is dusty.

Rong Qiqi thought it would be impossible, although saponin water is very good, but it doesn't remove oil.

Thinking about soap again.

"Grandma, I can make soap, how about we make some today?"

Many rural wives know how to make soap.

What's more, Rong Qiqi has seen the kind of handmade soap in the later generations in her previous life, and it's not as good as the one she made.

The old aunt slapped her thigh:
"That's a good relationship. You do it first. I'll go back to the valley and get some dried flowers. It will smell good when I hang them in it."

Look, they are all women, no matter how old they are.

Rong Qiqi nodded.

This is neat.

Recently, the hunting team in the village went up the mountain several times, and Rong Qiqi also received a lot of fat.

Don't use vegetable oil to make soap, that stuff is extravagant, let's use animal oil.

Every household has caustic soda, who doesn't prepare some for Chinese New Year?
This thing is the best thing to remove oil, and the guy who has accumulated ash for a year is counting on caustic soda.

There are also those who make steamed buns and pancakes, all need caustic soda to remove the sour taste in the old noodles.

Anyway, it means that there are two main materials for making handmade soap.

When Rong Qiqi said he was going to make soap, several children surrounded him curiously, and even Aunt Wang who came to ask if she wanted some bean sprouts was also curious to see how Rong Qiqi would do it.

Someone who came to publicize before taught them how to make soap by themselves, but everyone didn't want to waste oil and didn't do it.

Rong Qiqi used a bowl of solidified meat oil to slowly melt in the pot over water, and added a certain proportion of caustic soda after it was completely melted.

This starts to stir through the warm water.

In fact, there is no skill in this step, just keep stirring and waiting for the saponification reaction.

When the old aunt came back, Rong Qiqi had already stirred well, and the saponification reaction was perfect.

Crush the dried petals of unknown flowers and put them inside, and pour them into the oiled wooden box that was prepared earlier.

The latter was almost solidified, and Rong Qiqi knocked it a few times to balance it.

Then just set it aside and let it settle down on its own.

In fact, raw soap can only be used after it has been matured, otherwise it is caustic soda, which is very harmful to the skin.

After Rong Qiqi finished, Aunt Wang still sighed:
"Sure enough, it's a waste of oil!"

Let Rong Qiqi not know what to say.

Compared to the soap that can only be bought with industrial tickets, this is already very cheap.

It's just because Rong Qiqi has done a lot, it seems a little too much.

"I'll send a piece to my aunt when I get ready!"

That feeling was good, and Aunt Wang left with a big bowl of beans.

She didn't need to ask any more, and went directly to help Rong Qiqi distribute the bean sprouts.

The bean sprouts are a meticulous job, Rong Qiqi is very busy here, Aunt Wang counts the time, and it will be ready for the Chinese New Year, so it can be eaten during the Chinese New Year.

"It still needs to be matured, I still think I can use it tomorrow!"

The old aunt was very happy.

Let Qiqi be happy:
"Grandma, although you can't use it now, you can use it in a month or so. You can use it as you like."

The old aunt smiled.

It's better to continue resigning to fate and let Rong Qiqi boil the saponin water.

Rong Qiqi thought that there are actually shampoos now, let's find out about Seagull brand shampoos.

Public hair oil, Seagull brand shampoo, Chunjuan brand toilet water in bulk, cream, Shanghai medicated soap...

This is the brand memory belonging to this generation.

　Raise your hand! !

　　Meow Meow, apart from the first one and Chunjuan toilet water in bulk, I can’t buy it, but I really bought the others to try!
