Gu Qingsong thought about what his third sister said, and his brows twisted into a knot.

He also wanted to make money, to feed his family and to keep them warm, but he just didn't know how or how to make money.

He learned how to trap rabbits by himself and it was all done by trial and error. It took him more than half a month to catch just one.

It was an old rabbit that could no longer run. It was probably preparing to leave its nest and go to die far away, but it was intercepted by him.

He went into the mountains to dig wild vegetables and pick fruits. As a result, he was often bullied by older children and the fruits of his labor were also stolen. He dared not tell his family about these things for fear that they would worry.

Sometimes when he was beaten by them, he could only lie to his family and say that he fell down himself.

Seeing that he had no man to support him at home, the older kids didn't take him seriously at all.

He only hated that he grew too slowly and was not a tall and strong man.

Gu Qinghuai didn't think about convincing his younger brother immediately. His younger brother is a thoughtful person, and only by experiencing the facts personally can he be convinced.

At this time, Gu Qingshan asked: "Third sister, what kind of business do you mean by doing business?"

It would be best if it was a business he could help with as well, so he couldn't hold his family back.

Hearing this, Zhao Ying, Gu Qingsong, Zhou Liuya and Gu Qingmiao all looked at Gu Qinghuai expectantly.

Do business?

They had never dared to think about it before.

Last year, Zhao Ying and Gu Qingsong went to the county town to sell wild mushrooms, but they were robbed by a group of thugs, who also demanded protection money from them. Since then, they never dared to go there again.

They are both the main laborers of the family, so nothing can happen to them. Otherwise, there will be only their stupid father, disabled elder brother and young younger sister left at home. How will they survive?

Gu Qinghuai looked very excited: "Brother, I have a lot of businesses, but I can't eat a big fat man in one bite. Let's do them one by one. The first thing I want to do is to make soap."

The raw materials for making soap are easy to find, low cost, and simple method. Soap is a daily consumable needed by every household and has a large market.

"Making soap?" several people asked in unison.

Gu Qingmiao tugged at Gu Qinghuai’s sleeve: “Third sister, what is soap?” Can it be eaten?

Everyone: Same question.

"Soap is very similar to the soapberries that we usually use. It is a toiletries used for washing hair, bathing, and washing clothes. It is much easier to use than soapberries. You will know when I make it," said Gu Qinghuai.

Gu Qingshan felt a surge of heat rushing up his forehead, and his heart couldn’t stop pounding.

He held his breath and asked anxiously, "Third sister, do you know how to make soap?"

Of course Gu Qinghuai knew this. In her later life, she loved watching videos of handmade bloggers and already knew how to make this soap.

There are also detailed records in the book "The Art of Crafts" rewarded by the system, so now is a good time to read this book.

Don't panic, wait for her to slowly make up her story: "Yes, I know. This is a very strange thing to say.

At noon on the seventh day after Ah Yin's death, I was working in the fields. A strange lame Taoist passed by the field and asked me for water because he was thirsty. I gave him all the water I brought with me. He was very grateful to me and gave me a thick book called "The Art of Hundred Craftsmen".

The book recorded some craft production methods. I was afraid that the book would be discovered by the Zhou family, so I dug a hole near the field and hid it. Every day when I went to work in the fields, I secretly memorized a craft production method and remembered it very well. Later, I hid the book in the mountains. "

She is very good at making up stories.

The "Art of Crafts" rewarded by the system has cleared the way for you to make big money in the future.

In order to increase the authenticity of the incident, Gu Qinghuai added: "The lame Taoist priest was very magical. He read my fortune before he left and said that if I left the Zhou family, I would be very successful and enjoy wealth and honor in the future. If I continued to stay in the Zhou family, I would definitely die within three months."

That’s right, the original owner died yesterday and the revenge has not yet been taken.

After hearing what Gu Qinghuai said, everyone widened their eyes, stood still, and even their breathing slowed down unconsciously.

It was obvious that everyone was attracted by Gu Qinghuai's "adventure".

Anyway, this kind of real and fake thing is very mysterious. It's impossible for the mysterious lame Taoist to travel around the world and find someone to confront.

Zhao Ying took a deep breath and stroked her chest, feeling very scared: "Fortunately Huai'er left the Zhou family in time. Otherwise, oh my god, I don't even dare to think about it."

If anything happened to her daughter, she would feel guilty to death.

One year after their daughter got married, the Zhou family did not allow her to return to her parents' home, and as her mother, she had never visited her.

On the one hand, the family has such a big business that they cannot do without someone, and they feel relieved that their son-in-law is honest and reliable and that their daughter will be taken care of by him.

On the other hand, she was also afraid that her in-laws would be unhappy if she went to visit their daughter.

After all, their family is too poor, and the in-laws would think that they were there just to get a free meal, and she didn't want to make things difficult for her daughter in her husband's family.

On the day her son-in-law died, she went to Zhou's house to see her daughter, but the Zhou family didn't let her in. They said they were afraid her daughter would be sad, so they sent her daughter to a relative's house.

“Yes, even though the lame Taoist’s divination may not be accurate, it is better to believe it than not to believe it. Fortunately, Third Sister is back,” Gu Qingshan wiped the cold sweat from his palms.

Will he die within three months?

This is too scary!

However, the third sister was really lucky. Not only did she dig up two ginseng roots, but she was also fortunate enough to meet the mysterious lame Taoist priest.

However, luck is a mysterious thing. If you are not content and appreciate your blessings, your luck may very likely run away or turn into disaster.

Fortune comes and misfortune lies, and misfortune lies.

Especially the book “The Art of a Hundred Craftsmen” is too eye-catching and must be kept secret.

Gu Qingshan suppressed his agitated emotions and solemnly warned: “Mother, my younger brother and sister, and my younger sister Liu Ya, you must not tell anyone about Xiao Huai’s encounter with the lame Taoist priest and the “Art of Hundred Craftsmen”. Anyway, nothing in our family can be publicized to the outside world. We must keep secrets, otherwise it will bring disaster. Remember all of this, right?”

"Remember," everyone nodded solemnly.

Gu Qinghuai looked at his elder brother with gratitude.

She didn't have to worry about it, her elder brother automatically kept it a secret for her.

The topic had strayed off topic, so Gu Qinghuai immediately got back to the point: "Okay, let's continue talking about soap."

Everyone instantly came back to their senses and listened carefully to the matter of soap.

Gu Qinghuai said: "The raw materials needed to make soap are mainly honey locust, wood ash, and soapberry. Any of these raw materials can be used. In addition, there are lard, flavoring spices, etc."

Gu Qingsong raised his hand excitedly: "There are honey locust trees in the mountains! There are also two in the village!"

He decided that when the soapberries were ripe, he would bring them all home as soon as possible.

Those are all free ingredients!

"Third sister, what is wood ash?" Gu Qingmiao asked with blinking eyes.

Gu Qinghuai patiently explained: "Wood ash is the residue left after the burning of plants (including herbs and woody plants), such as the stove ash in our stove. Wood ash contains alkali - it can produce foam and can be used to clean things."

You may not understand what "alkali" means, but "foaming" is easy to understand.
