Traveling back to ancient times begins with the use of stone tools

Leng Ruoxue took out the package from the carriage and also took out the soap that was in poor condition.

"Boss, please ask the waiter to fetch a basin of water."

Without waiting for the shopkeeper's instructions, the waiter fetched a basin of water.

Leng Ruoxue demonstrated how to use the soap.

The shopkeeper tried it out of curiosity.

"This is……"

"This is a soap made from leftover strawberries. It can be used to wash your hands, face and take a bath."

"Brother Leng wants to do this business?"

"Yes"

"what price?"

"One ounce of silver"

The shopkeeper said nothing.

The first thought that came to my mind was to help him find a shop owner to promote his product, and the second thought was to ask the owner of the house if he was interested in doing this business.

However, what Leng Ruoxue said next surprised the shopkeeper.

"I want to borrow Yipinju's place to hold an auction. The proceeds from the auction will be divided into 82:2, Yipinju 8% and me %."

“Just auction this?”

“Yes, any place is fine.”

The shopkeeper understood that this was an attempt to borrow his territory and connections.

"I will send someone to deliver the specific arrangements in a few days. What do you think, shopkeeper?"

"You can give it a try, but this place..."

"A large private room will be enough. If it's inconvenient, just put up a few screens. I plan to hold this kind of auction once a month."

"Okay, then I'll look forward to hearing good news from you, brother."

The shopkeeper thought it would be okay to take a look first.

After making an appointment with the shopkeeper to pick up the cherry pits in the evening, Leng Ruoxue drove the carriage to the market by herself.

He took out all the silver he had, leaving 5 taels, and planned to use the rest to buy lard.

The price of pork fat in the market was 35 wen per pound, and I bought 4000 pounds.

Fortunately, it’s the provincial capital. If it were a county town, I would be lucky to buy 100 kilograms a day.

I also met a man selling milk and bought four buckets of milk.

He bought 50 large water vats and told Leng Yi to boil lard. The lard residue was put in the basket containing strawberries and the lard was put into the large vats. Ruoyi was responsible for picking strawberries and helping Leng Yi.

He also specifically told Ruoyi not to get too tired and to rest more.

With Leng Ruoxue's instructions, Leng Yi didn't feel tired when working, and even kept an eye on Ruoyi to make sure she rested.

Leng Ruoxue also booked a room and asked Liu Datong to have a good rest and call her in the evening.

Make wood ash water and white vinegar in your own space.

There is no white vinegar on the market, and Leng Ruoxue feels that soap made with anything other than white vinegar will have discolored spots.

Anyway, she has rice, so she can make it herself.

Besides, there is no lemon in this world yet, so I don’t know if there is one. When needed, white vinegar can do the job.

When I felt that the time was about right, I left the space and lay down on the bed.

In the evening, Liu Datong woke up Leng Ruoxue. Leng Ruoxue first went to Yipinju to get the cherry pits, and then asked Liu Datong to rush to Pingyuan County overnight.

We would take a break occasionally along the way and have steamed buns with lard as our meal.

It was much better than the food at ordinary families, and Liu Datong was used to staying up late with Leng Ruoxue.

The two of them took turns driving the car and arrived at Pingyuan County in a day and a half.

It was noon, so he asked Liu Datong and Ma to find a place to drink water and rest, while he went to Yipinju.

After delivering the goods, he exchanged a few polite words with the shopkeeper and then hurried back to Qingyuan County.

We arrived at Qingyuan County in the evening, gave away the last strawberries, and returned to the village overnight.

The two were too tired to talk and went home to rest.

I went to Uncle Wang early in the morning to order soap molds. They cost one penny each and were required to be made as quickly as possible. Uncle Wang called all the family members to help.

Leng Ruoxue also made a snowflake logo in the mold.

The soap produced in this way will have the appearance of a trademark.

The strawberries in the village have been harvested gradually. They are no longer sold by kilogram. 20 strawberries are sold for one kilogram of brown rice. Once you have 20 strawberries, you can come and get the brown rice.

Second-fruiting strawberries are counted as one, two or three in number, and are harvested and made into dried strawberries.

According to Leng Ruoxue's instructions, Liu Ruxu canned all the strawberries she received, and marked the sealing date on each can.

Leng Ruoxue just remembered the strawberry jam.

When she opened it, she found it was broken, which made Liu Ruxu very sad.

"It's okay, this is just an experiment. We won't do it again in the future," Leng Ruoxue comforted Liu Ruxu.

He took out the lard residue from the space and said, "This is what several shopkeepers didn't want, so I bought it cheaply, 3 cents a pound. There are a lot of them, and I put them in the cellar. Ask the villagers who need them. Three bundles of firewood can be exchanged for one pound."

Liu Ruxu looked at the lard residue in disbelief. City people were so wasteful. The villagers couldn't even get enough to eat.

"It just so happens that they have a lot of them in the store, otherwise they can't be so cheap. Each store only sells one pound at first."

That night, every family had porridge with lard and wild vegetables.

At Leng Ruoxue's strong request, they finally had rice and stir-fried vegetables with lard.

Leng Yi and Ruoyi in the space worked while sleeping every day, and slept after working. Not only did they not lose weight, they even gained a lot of weight.

They even forbid us to eat the husks of brown rice, saying that they are for cows and we cannot compete with cows for food.

Nowadays, cows are much more valuable than humans, so Leng Yi and his family try their best to pick out the shells for the cows to eat.

There was no limit on the amount of lard residue they could eat, and they could also eat vegetables from the fields. The brother and sister didn't even have to worry about being isolated from the world as Leng Ruoxue had worried about.

Everyone has to keep an eye on the two acres of land in the village, and then go up the mountain to chop firewood and dig wild vegetables. If they don't have any free time, they will starve to death. It's not just their stomachs that are starving, they will starve to death.

Leng Ruoxue also took the time to teach the brother and sister arithmetic and Three Character Classic.

A little bit every day, slowly I learned a few things.

Of course, there was no paper or pen, so I could only write on the wooden sandbox.

For some reason, there were 5 more acres of land in the space, and the fat cows were finally put to use.

Now, in addition to the half acre of land for growing vegetables and the half acre of land for growing watermelons, melons and cherries for Leng Ruoxue's experiment, the rest of the land is planted with strawberries.

The crops in the space grow three times faster than those outside. Leng Ruoxue's melon seedlings have already sprouted, and hundreds of cherry pits have finally produced 50 seedlings.

Leng Ruoxue carefully transplanted the fruits to the edge of the field, and picked the fruits from the peach and pear trees that were planted in the courtyard of the county town.

The tree was not big and had been pruned, so there were not many fruits, but the fruits were all quite large, so we picked three small baskets each.

I also picked an ugly one and tried it. It tasted very good, with a big fruit and a small core, thin skin and juicy texture.

The pruned branches were also planted.

Grandpa Wang mobilized his entire family, and they only made more than a hundred in a day. Leng Ruoxue felt that it was not enough, so she went to find the village chief. The village chief found a few carpenters in the village to be responsible for only the fine parts, while the general shape was to be done by those who had free time in the village.

In this way, it took 5 days to make the pieces that Leng Ruoxue requested.

Rows of shelves stand on the ridges of the space, filled with finished soaps.

I also made a soap box for the village chief. As long as the requirements were met, I would sell it for one cent each. I asked the village chief to help me collect 10,000 of them.

Every household had an income of around one hundred wen, which Leng Ruoxue felt was very cheap and a bit guilty of exploiting the working people.

The people in the village don't think so. These days, labor is the least valuable, so they are all very grateful for the benefits brought by Leng Ruoxue.
