The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

Everyone at the table seemed to be energized, their eyes were bright and their bodies were full of strength.

The three little ones couldn't wait to start making soap.

Gu Qingshan looked at Gu Qinghuai with a serious expression: "Third sister, from now on you will be the leader of our family. The whole family will listen to you. We will do whatever you say!"

This was the first time after being paralyzed for three years that Gu Qingshan felt like he was truly alive.

After being stuck in darkness for a long time, he finally saw a ray of light.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for receiving 20 points of male admiration! The total admiration score is 38 points, host, please keep working hard! ]

"Okay, big brother, then I will obey your command!" Gu Qinghuai made a naughty face at his big brother.

The 38 points of admiration were all given by the eldest brother. How could Gu Qingsong, this stubborn guy, not have any admiration for her at all?

She has done all this and that, isn’t that awesome enough?

Humph, little brat, Third Sister will definitely make you lower your proud head, and make you prostrate yourself before her and worship her!

"Brother, mother, let's wait until our soap business is stable before we make shampoo." Gu Qinghuai is ambitious and has an intensified desire to make money.

“Okay, I’ll listen to Third Sister,” Gu Qingshan said with a smile.

Zhao Ying seemed to suddenly remember something and patted her forehead: "Oh no, Xiao Huai, our whole family is making soap, what about the crops in the field?"

"Hire someone to take care of it. Farming is important, and food is also important, but we don't have to do these things ourselves. If we have money, we can hire long-term workers."

Farming and storing food is her next plan.

Hiring a long-term worker? How much would that cost? Zhao Ying pondered silently in her heart.

However, just listen to my daughter. She doesn't have any special abilities, but as long as she doesn't hold my daughter back, that's all that matters.

Next, the family discussed the preliminary preparations.

Gleditsia sinensis is picked every autumn, and soapberry is picked from late summer to early autumn. Currently, the most suitable raw material for alkali water is wood ash.

In the afternoon, the whole family stayed at home to prepare.

Zhao Ying washed out a clean large pottery jar and took the three little ones to burn wood ash in the yard.

The plant straw used for burning ash must be clean, without any dirt or sand, especially dirt, because when filtering the alkali, the muddy water cannot be filtered out, affecting the quality of the soap.

Moreover, the plant straw must be burned thoroughly. If it is not burned thoroughly, alkali cannot be produced.

Gu Qinghuai designed several soap-forming molds, and then worked with Gu Qingshan to calculate how much ash could be produced from burning one pound of plant straw, and how many pounds of ash were needed to produce the most suitable alkaline water.

The concentration of alkaline water needs to reach 40%, so a large amount of wood ash is needed.

Gu Qingshan was very smart. His family was poor and couldn’t afford a scale, so he picked up a lot of pebbles and asked people to help weigh them to find out their weights of one jin, two jin, and three jin, and then kept them for a long time.

Then I made a seesaw with wooden boards. When I wanted to weigh something, I put a one-pound pebble on it. The seesaw would be balanced and I could get the approximate weight.

Gu Qinghuai admired his elder brother's wisdom, but still decided to go to the county town to buy a scale tomorrow.

The ratio of soap raw materials should be accurate, so that the soap made can be of the best quality.

It would be even better if we could get some alcohol.

There is also a method of making alcohol in "The Art of Making Hundreds of Craftsmen", but the cost is a bit high and not cost-effective.

"Girl, I have 38 points. Can I buy a bottle of 95% alcohol?" Gu Qinghuai asked consciously.

[No, a bottle of 100ml alcohol requires 100 points]

"Can I pay on credit?"

[Host, I can’t]

"So I can only buy 38ml of alcohol?"

[No, the smallest bottle of alcohol is 100ml, and the system does not sell it in retail.]

Gu Qinghuai rolled his eyes: Girl, you are so naughty!

[Host, what does Jiji mean? ]

"Twice as much as a motorcycle!"

【system:……】

"Well, can I buy a lye concentration tester for 38 points?"

[Even more so, a lye concentration tester costs 500 points]

Hey!

"Then tell me, what can you buy with 38 points?"

[System weakly: A fart? ]

Gu Qinghuai: My dear girl, are you itching for sex?

The baby girl rolled and crawled away.

At this moment, Gu Qinghuai realized the importance of male admiration points. With more points, she could buy things according to her wishes.

But there are only three men in the family, and the silly father cannot contribute points. The eldest brother has already obtained points, and only the younger brother is left.

Gu Qinghuai feels that if you want to be cool, you still have to pretend to be cool. You can’t just passively wait for points. You have to actively express yourself in front of men and pretend to be cool when it’s time to do so!

Otherwise, when can I buy a bottle of alcohol? When can I buy a lye concentration tester?

At this moment, the eldest brother was filtering and washing the wood ash in the kitchen; Mother and Liu Ya went out to collect hay; Xiaosong and Miaomiao were squatting beside the ceramic jar to burn the wood ash.

It was summer and the weather was hot. The two little ones were sweating profusely. Their faces became wrinkled like little cats, with wrinkles all over them from the sweat.

Gu Qinghuai rolled his eyes and planned to fool the child.

She walked over to Gu Qingsong, patted his shoulder, gave her a thumbs up, raised her chin and asked, "Song'er, do you think your third sister is amazing and awesome?"

Without waiting for Gu Qingsong to answer, Gu Qingmiao immediately smiled and praised: "Third sister is amazing!"

Gu Qinghuai reached out and touched her little head.

Gu Qingsong wiped the sweat from his forehead, leaving five black fingerprints on it, then squinted his eyes, looked at Gu Qinghuai, and said seriously: "Third sister, if you were not so extravagant and lived more frugally than me, I would think you were amazing and awesome."

Gu Qinghuai: ...

Humph, little brat, you still want to PUA her?

Gu Qinghuai straightened his back: "I know how to make soap and I can help my whole family make money. Isn't that amazing?"

Gu Qingsong looked around, covered his mouth with his hand, and said in a low voice: "Third sister, the method is written in the book that the lame Taoist gave you, you just memorized it. Besides, where is the money now? There is no sign of it yet."

Gu Qinghuai was upset: "In this vast world, I am the only one who can meet the lame Taoist priest, and I also dug up ginseng. Isn't this great luck? Isn't it worthy of your admiration?"

"That's just luck. Luck is only temporary and unstable. What's so great about it?" Gu Qingsong bent down and filled the brazier with hay.

Gu Qinghuai still didn't give up, "I'm very strong! I'm a strongman!"

Gu Qingsong: "Cows are also very strong, so cows are awesome?"

Gu Qinghuai: ...

I really want to hit someone!

Forget it, I might as well shed tears and fill the tea.

Then, Gu Mengnu shed crocodile tears: "Gu Qingsong! Do you hate Third Sister? Third Sister has done so much for the family, but you can't see it? Can't you even have a little bit of admiration for Third Sister?"

Gu Qingsong was stunned for a moment, then stood up: "What? No... Third sister, we were just chatting happily, why are you crying all of a sudden? Oh, when did I say I hate Third sister?"

Gu Qinghuai wiped his eyes that were filled with tears from the smoke and snorted, "You don't hate Third Sister, so why don't you admire her at all?"
